I checked my email first thing in the morning.

MIND. BLOWN.

I was like, 'HOOOOLY FUDGE, MORE REVIEWS AND FAVORITES?!' You guys are so awesome, it makes me so happy that you're really enjoying my story!

I bet you all were like, "HAY, I just read you- and this is CRAZY - But it was awesome - so write more maybe?"

You bet I will! Sorry about all the delay. School has taken up a lot of time. Hope the mega-chapter makes up for it.

Pein and Konan's eyes widened. Was that REALLY green fire?

Shrugging, he walked up the tree house's door and knocked three times.

It opened up to reveal a little dragon. His scales were lavender and light green, and his eyes had serpentine slits for pupils. Judging by his height, he was still a youngling.

His eyes widened in shock, but he bowed down immediately.

"Can I help you?" the dragon asked in a boyish voice.

"Um... May we see... Twilight?" Konan asked.

"Sure thing! TWILIGHT! THERE ARE PONIES HERE TO SEE YOU!"

"COMING, SPIKE!"

A purple Alicorn showed up in the door frame. She had a long indigo mane with a pink streak in it, and bangs. Her eyes were a shiny purple. A little pink star with orbs around it adorned her flank.

She was a lot smaller than Pein and Konan, roughly the same size as that Applejack pony they had passed by a few hours ago.

Twilight looked shocked as well, but she remembered her manners and bowed.

"Hello! How can I help you?"

"Well, we wish to talk to your superior... Princess Celestia... And, it has come to our attention that she is not in town. Pinkie Pie told us that we could stay with you... Is that alright?"

"OH! Yes, that's fine, come on in!''

As Pein and Konan entered, the smell of spices entered their nostrils.

"We're having a late night snack, would you like some salsa?" She asked, holding out a peculiar red mush out. It was flecked with white and green.

"What is that?"

"Salsa! It's a spicy Mexican sauce that accompanies chips, tacos, and other foods."

"Eh... No thank you."

"Okay then. Could I interest you in a churro?"

"Oh, we already got some cupcakes from... Sugarball corner."

"Ah! SugarCUBE corner! Alright!" Twilight nodded, and began to walk up a wide staircase with Pein and Konan following behind. She stopped at a room with a wooden door.

"This is my only guest room. I apologize for the size, but the bed is comfy, and there's a bathroom in there."

"That's alright."

"I'll leave you two alone. I have to make sure Spike doesn't eat any more of those spicy burritos."

"Spike... Is he your... pet?"

"No, he's my personal assistant. But you would know, I'm sure you have tons of them!"

Pein nodded, and proceeded to enter the room. It WAS small, the only furniture inside being the bed. It was a queen size, and would fit both Konan and himself.

"So..." Her cheeks turned red. "Do we sleep together?"'

"..."

What do I do?! I think she's a loyal friend of mine, and I like her...

More than I want to admit...

BUT SLEEPING TOGETHER? WHAT?!

Yes, I should, it'll be my chance to make a move.

NO! It might ruin our relationship. I like it the way it is.

Gah... CHANGE THE SUBJECT!

"Konan." He said in his low, serious voice. In his head, he was running around insanely, screaming like Pinkie Pie.

"Y-yes?"

"Let's eat the cupcake before it gets stale."

For a moment, Konan widened her eyes and opened her mouth. Then, her expression returned to its usual blank state.

HE AVOIDED THE QUESTION! What does this mean...? It means he's EMBARRASSED! That's good, right?

"Okay."

They opened the bag.

"There's only one cupcake!"

"Well, she DID give it to us for free..."

"Does that mean..."

"I guess we'll have to share."

Konan's heart fluttered at the thought of sharing a something with Pein.

First the bed, now the cupcake? It would be like an indirect kiss!

"Eeah..." She mumbled uneasily.

I want this... But what if he doesn't? I don't know any more!

"Konan?"

"EH?!" She immediately woke up from her little world of thoughts.

"Are you okay?"

Color rushed to her cheeks, and her face became very warm.

"I... Yeah..."

"Are you sure?" Pein lifted a thin orange eyebrow.

"Yes..." She set the cupcake on the ground. It was a big vanilla one with whipped pink icing and colorful sprinkles.

"Reminds me of Pinkie Pie." He said.

Konan just nodded, and took a bite of the colossal confection.

"It's amazing!"

"Let me have a bite." Pein leaned forward, and ate a chunk.

"It IS!"

He kept on eating, along with Konan. Their hungry muzzles devoured the cake in under five minutes.

Soon, there was only one small piece left.

"Ah... One piece...''

Pein wasn't really a gentleman, and usually didn't do things that men would normally do for women. He never held the door open for Konan. He never helped her pull out her chair if they sat down. Heck, he never helped her at all.

Not like she needed it.

I should go for it.

NO, Konan looks like she really wants it.

But...

Pein made a move for the last piece, but it was gone. He looked at Konan, who had a very happy expression on her face, her muzzle splotched with pink frosting.

"You ate the last piece!"

She froze, the happy expression disappearing from her face.

Uh-oh. Did I make him mad?!

He slowly started pacing toward her, looking more and more ominous by the second. Konan was backing up, and she soon hit a wall.

There was no way out. Pein's large figure would block out any exits.

He closed in of her, and leaning forward...

Pein stuck out his tongue and licked the pink frosting off her mouth.

She just stood, dumbfounded.

Okay, WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!

Afterwards, he laughed to himself, and jumped on the bed.

He's a psycho!

Pein dropped his head onto a soft pillow. He was sleeping like a cat.

Tentatively, Konan joined him.

What was that all about? He looks all scary, and then he licks my mouth? Guess Pein thinks he's 'getting some' tonight? That's really not like him...

She thought for a little while longer and almost fell asleep, but was disrupted by a cold breeze of air.

"Brrr..."

She closed her eyes, trying to block out the cold, but it had woken her. She could not get to sleep.

With that, she snuggled closer to Pein, trying to warm herself.

Warmth flooded through her, blooming in her arms and legs. She sighed quietly, and in an hour, she was conked out.

As she was sleeping, Pein's large white wing closed over her back, and drew her in a little more...

"That looks FABULOUS, darling!" Rarity gushed, standing in front of Itachi.

Itachi stood in Rarity's boutique, motionless and expressionless. He was wearing a fancy black hat with a red feather sticking out of the top, and a silky red tie. A white collar was wrapped around his neck, and his mane was falling around his shoulders in a delicate heap.

Meanwhile, Kisame was dressed like a jester.

"AW, ITACHI! How come you're looking like a fricking PIMP, and I look like... Like..."

"A joke." He finished coldly.

Rarity was too caught up "fixing" Itachi's tie to hear his last statement.

"I mean, come on. ORANGE? With BLUE?"

"Actually," Rarity jumped in, "Orange is across from blue on the color wheel. Colors that are across from each other are complements.''

I look ridiculous, Kisame thought.

He was clad in a strange orange and blue jumpsuit, along with a little cap that looked like it belonged to Santa.

"Mmm, Itachi, you're looking VERY good..." She purred. With a giggle, she pranced off to deal with something else.

After Rarity left, Kisame turned to Itachi and growled.

"Why do YOU always get the HOT babes?!"

"Because I'm not a fish."

"What's wrong with fish?!"

"You don't look like a normal person."

"Well, EXCUUUUSE ME for being born like this!"

"You asked a question, I gave you an answer. Deal with it."

"You know what? I'm sure I could treat ANY GIRL better than you can, because your heart is made of ICE. You're mean, cold, and distant. You ignore people who throw themselves at you, claiming that they love you. The only reason girls don't like me is because I'm different."

He sighed, and plopped down on his hindquarters.

"They don't even give me a chance."

Itachi turned to face his blue skinned, sharp toothed partner.

"You really feel that way?"

"Yes. Not like you care."

"You're right... I don't."

"Do you like the pancakes?" Fluttershy asked, hope in her eyes.

Tobi lifted the bottom of his mask, only exposing his muzzle, and chewed thoughtfully for a few seconds.

Then, he grabbed the plate and horked all the pancakes down.

Fluttershy giggled happily. "I'm glad you like them!"

"Tobi DOES! They taste like bananas, and Tobi LOVES bananas!"

"Zetsu? How do you like them?" She turned to look at the bicolored pony.

He let out a large burp. Fluttershy looked, and both the plate AND the pancakes were gone.

"The plate... The pancakes... Mmmm..." His white side said.

She smiled, and turned back to Tobi. Picking up his plate, she hummed a little tune to herself. It was her way of relaxing worries away.

"Bad Zetsu! Why did you just eat that syrup jar? You could have just poured it out!"

"Shut up, lollipop face."

"Hey! Tobi has fashion! But you don't have any, because YOU'RE A PLANT!"

"I said, shut up!"

"You're jealous because you are ugly and green, when Tobi is nice and orange!"

"Grrrr..."

Zetsu leapt up from his seat and stared Tobi down. He snapped the leaf like appendages on his shoulders, and leaned in.

"Oh, NO YOU DON'T! DON'T MAKE ME GIVE YOU THE STARE!" Fluttershy's shrill voice interrupted.

He snarled and gritted his pony teeth. But Fluttershy walked towards him, calmer than water.

She growled right back, and narrowed her eyes. Her teal lakes glinted hypnotically, and Zetsu whimpered and backed away.

"Easy... Easy..."

Once Zetsu had been pacified, she turned to Tobi.

"OH! Are you alright?"

"Yes! Tobi is okay! Tobi still has his head, thank you very much!"

''Good, good!"

"Ah... Fluttershy?"

"Hmmm?"

"Can Tobi ask you an important question?"

"Sure... Okay."

"Do you... have more pancakes for Tobi?"

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Applejack screamed, her mouth open wide.

Hidan barreled out of nowhere towards her, and skidded to a halt. "What the f*ck is it, woman?! I'm trying to f*cking sleep, here!"

She shot him a furious look.

"What d'ya THINK is wrong?!"

"The fact that you f*cking woke me up at 5 in the morning!"

Applejack growled loudly. She was already upset, having this dope around was like rubbing salt in a wound.

"This orchard is called 'Sweet APPLE Acres'. Look at the trees around ya! D'ya SEE ANY APPLES?!"

Hidan turned sluggishly, and got a good look at the endless rows of trees behind him.

"...HOLY F*CK! YOU'VE BEEN F*CKING ROBBED!"

She stamped her hoof on the ground. "Who could it BE?! Who in all of EQUESTRIA would steal all ma' apples?"

"You could ask Kakuzu, but I doubt that dipshit has an answer."

Applejack hit herself in the face.

"He was askin' me about ma' apple SALE PRICES! And his cutie mark was a dollar sign, meanin' he can make GOOD MONEY... AW, NAW!"

"What the f*ck is it now...?''

She turned and dashed away, bolting towards the market place.

Hidan stood, dumbstruck.

"Jashin-sama..." He whined. "Why did you have to bring me here?"

---

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

Applejack screamed yet again after seeing Kakuzu standing at an EMPTY STALL.

"God dammit, my ears are like BALLOONS, OKAY?! They will f*cking POP if you keep screaming like a little bitch!"

Hidan opened his mouth to say more, but Applejack turned to face him. She had a glint in her eye, mischievous and naughty. Gliding up to him, she leaned in closer and closer...

Her hot breath fanned his face, his mane blowing back. Applejack and Hidan were nose to nose, when suddenly...

She gave him a bitch slap harder than a rock.

"SHUT UP! I've lost ALL ma' apples! That's the only thing I HAVE!"

She ran up to Kakuzu, her hat blown off, revealing all of her wild blond mane.

"What did you do with ma' apples?!"

He smiled, the line of his lips visible through his mask.

"I sold them for a PRETTY PENNY. Made about 5000 gold coins... Apples don't come cheap!"

With a laugh, he exited the stall.

"WHY?! Why did you do that?! How did you even get all my apples here?!"

"Simple. I used a jutsu to knock all the apples off the trees, and channeled chakra into my horn to lift them. "

'JUTSU'? 'CHAKRA'? What..?!

Applejack shook her head furiously.

"You're gonna PAY for this! Those are MY apples!"

"Oh, of course. I'm giving you an entire .01%."

"Grrr..."

A vein bulged in her forehead. She turned around, facing away from Kakuzu.

"What are you-''

With that, she kicked her hind legs out fiercely, and nailed Kakuzu in the chest. He was sent flying into the distance, a hoof print branded onto his fur.

"HOW ABOUT .02%?!"

---

"How long have they been like that?"

"I dunno, Twi."

Konan's eyes fluttered open to see Twilight and her assistant Spike staring at her with wide eyes.

"What is it?"

"OH!" Twilight looked like she had just been woken from a dream. "Um... Well, your majesty... I wanted to check on you and I found you like... that."

Konan cocked her head, only to have it bump into something.

Turning very slowly, she looked behind her, almost afraid of what she might find.

"EHH?!"

Pein was sleeping peacefully, his muzzle stuck straight in the middle of her long blue mane. All four of his legs were tangled around her, locking her in an intimate hold.

He stirred.

"Konan...''

"PEIN!" She wriggled in his grasp.

Is he DRUNK? Did Pinkie Pie spike that cupcake? Ohhh, I feel like I have a hangover, oh my go-

"What's wrong...?" He said lazily, embracing her tighter.

"Look!"

"His head turned sharply to see Twilight and Spike.

Staring at him like he had just grown another eye.

Pein's muzzle gaped wide open, and he quickly untangled himself from Konan.

"Ehm... I can explain...?"

They all stared at him, unblinking.

With a nervous chuckle, he burst past them and ran away, leaving Konan, Spike, and Twilight dumbfounded.

---

"I can't believe it. How?! How did it happen?"

Pein was pacing around behind Sugarcube corner. He needed to hide from all of them, needed to get his thoughts straight.

I remember drawing her in a little closer...

BUT THAT'S BECAUSE I WANTED TO KEEP HER WARM!

Right...?

She came to ME first!

But... I didn't exactly refuse her...

GAH! I don't even know how! We should have woken up sleeping NEXT to each other, not tangled in some sexual mes-

"Leader-sama. What are you doing here?"

---

That's it for now! Hope you enjoy my little chopped endings...
