The Cutie Mark Crusaders were gathered in their tree house. After many weeks of relentless begging, hours of painstaking work, and some help from Twilight and Fluttershy, Applebloom finally managed to convince her sister to let her, Sweetie Belle, and Scoot-a-loo have a sleep over in the tree house. The two had battled it out, Applebloom shouting remarks about "it being her right" and "It's an experience I need!", and Applejack replying with "You ain't old enough" and "When ah was a filly, ah never got to have a sleepover in mah tree house!" Somehow Twilight had managed to convince her, and with the help of Fluttershy, they managed to get permission to have the sleepover. Nothing was going to spoil their fun.

When the trio had first arrived at the tree house with their overnight packs, they were super excited. They had each agreed to bring something fun to do so that the group wouldn't get bored. Applebloom brought a book chock full of party games they could play. While she had not been one for "research", she had appreciated that Twilight let her borrow the book. The book ranged from games like Hide and Seek to Truth or Dare.

Sweetie Belle had brought a gaming system. Button Mash had let her borrow his Six-Four Cube, which, while the graphics were outdated, the gaming was phenomenal. It had been a revolutionary invention in the gaming industry. Button had also let Sweetie borrow a power adapter and mini TV that would allow the trio to use the system in the tree house.

Scoot-a-loo had brought snacks; A couple bags of cheese puffs, tons of soda, and money for pizza. But out of all these snacks, she had, of course, remembered to bring god's perfect creation: Smores. Still sealed fresh in their original packaging were marshmallows, which, when brought to the right temperature, were the greatest dessert ever. Combined with sweet, sweet chocolate and crisp graham crackers, it was a treat to die for.

When the CMC had gotten permission to have the sleepover, there was one rule that all of their sisters were very strict about; No boys. That meant no colts, stallions, or Spike (And any other male creature that they may know.) The girls had no problem with this rule, as 1) They didn't really know many boys, and 2) They didn't want any boys at the sleepover. They didn't want anypony playing pranks on them. They also just wanted to hang out with each other: Just the three of them. Anyway, they were all sitting down in the tree house.

"So, what should we do first?" Sweetie Belle was excited. She and her friends hadn't had a sleepover in, oh, about a week. And definitely never in the tree house. She, like Applebloom, wanted to have as much fun as possible. She was thankful when Button let her borrow his game system, and a little shocked too. Button didn't let that thing out of his house out of fear of it getting broken. Sweetie still remembered the conversation they had when she asked him (Of course she remembered. She had asked him that morning.)

"Are you sure it's okay if I borrow your Six-Four Cube?" Sweetie Belle smiled at Button Mash, who looked at her, blushed and looked awkwardly to the ground. He poked at the ground.

"Yeah. I can trust you, Sweetie." Sweetie beamed. When she thought about it, she sometimes thought Button had a crush on her, but she didn't let herself believe that. She was scared to believe it, because if she was wrong… Well, she just wouldn't be able to handle seeing Button. So, she convinced herself that she was the one with the crush. Which was true.

"Hmmm…. I know!" Scoot-a-loo shot up. And then landed back on the floor with a soft thud. Even though she was a Pegasus, Scoot-a-loo could barely fly. It was just a miracle if she was able to keep her body suspended in the air for more than a minute. "Let's try and get our cutie marks!" Applebloom and Sweetie Belle murmured in agreement. It sounded like a decent plan. "And I know just what to start with…."
