Dear diary,

I planned my day out carefully. I decided to use my time to study all day because I saw no point in going out today, because the weather team missed one of their storms, they scedualed one for the afternoon. The day was going swimmingly before I was interrupted when the storm started. Not by the storm, but Rarity and Applejack arguing outside. I overheard part of the conversation. It was somewhere along the lines of getting a job done and not getting Rarity's hoofs wet. I decided to invite them in before they got hypothermia.

Once inside, I started to talk to Rarity. I told her that Spike was away on royal business. Which I thought was lucky, because I wouldn't need to worry about Spike flirting with Rarity. While I was talking, a thousand things were racing through my mind, then it hit me! I decided to have a sleepover. I was so thrilled that it crossed my mind, I had always wanted to have one, and I thought it would be a good way to bond with two of my newly made friends. At first, Rarity said no to me offer. I heard her mumble under her breath somewhere along the lines of that she couldn't possibly stay here all night with Applejack. I didn't like what Rarity said. Applejack was an earth pony who takes care of the apple supply in Ponyville. Since everypony in Ponyville eats apples daily, and that they're a huge part if the diet of many ponies here, I thought Applejack would be very important here for what she does. Ponies here wouldn't be as healthy as they are if it wasn't for her, ungrateful lady muck. I grabbed a book from my shelf about sleepovers and tried to persuade her to change her mind. Luckily, she said yes and my dreams of having a sleepover were not crushed.

About half an hour later, after Applejack had finished cleaning the mud off her hoofs, she walked in complaining about how I and Rarity where aloud to have mud on our faces, but how she wasn't aloud to have mud on her hoofs. I explained to her that what me and Rarity were doing was part of a makeover. I didn't blame her for being confused, it's not something Applejack would want to do. I showed Applejack the book about sleepovers and offered her to stay as well. She reacted the same way as Rarity did. She didn't want to at first. She decided to go straight home. Unlucky for her, there was a storm outside and she decided to stay. I got really excited at that point, my dreams of having a sleepover were not crushed after all. I wanted to do it exactly by the book and finish the makeovers first.

Next, was ghost stories. Applejack decided to tell the first story. Instead of telling a real ghost story, Applejack decided to tease Rarity with a ghost story. Apparently it was a story about Rarity's unnecessary neatness. At first, I was laughing in my head because I couldn't laugh out loud because that would be rude. But I also didn't like what she said, because they had just stopped bickering until Applejack started again. They had stopped bickering for a grand total of six minutes. A new record. Rarity came back and told her story, the story about the pony with an irritating habit for messiness. I was started to get annoyed with them. I stepped in and told the tale of the headless horse. After I had finished telling the stories, I looked over at Rarity and Applejack and it seemed that my story left them shaking in fear. It was obviously better than Rarity's story about the pony with the irritating habit for messiness. I took ghost stories off the list.

The next thing on the list was making treats! My favourite part, Rarity carefully made one and then Applejack decided to tease Rarity by eating her one. Again, that made me laugh in my head. I found it funny the way Applejack kept teasing Rarity the way she did. I took making treats off the list.

The next thing on the list was truth or dare. The game started and Rarity and Applejack started bickering again. I started to realise that the teasing I thought was funny, started to look like a huge argument. First, Applejack dared Rarity to go get her mane wet out in the storm. She came back in the library soaking wet with a ruined mane. Then, Rarity dared Applejack to dress in a fancy outfit. Applejack came back looking hilarious, but I couldn't help seeing a huge argument going on, I started to realise that it was ruining my sleepover. I decided to just skip truth or dare.

The next thing was a pillow fight, and because of what was going on between Rarity and Applejack, I didn't think this was going to end well. I thought it would be fun, until I was hit by one. The force they were being thrown at was powerful. Pretty soon this was a full on battle between the two with pillows as weapons. All three of us could have been seriously injured. I decided to call it a night, the easiest thing to do.

I went to sleep, and so did they, or so I thought. They started bickering in bed as well. It was annoying and I was really sick of it. It was then I finally snapped. Enraged, I showed them the rules. The rule about fun. Which had been broken a thousand times. Fun was the last thing to check off the list, and thanks to them, I couldn't take it off the list. They had ruined my first sleepover. I didn't think anything more could go wrong. Next thing I knew I had a tree in my bedroom. Despite everything that was going on. All rarity was doing was cleaning up the shelves near the window, ignoring the giant tree. I looked over and Rarity and Applejack were talking, they made up. Finally! About five minutes later, I looked up and noticed the tree had gone. I didn't realise because I was to busy looking through the book for a section about giant trees. I was really proud of them for making up and that I finally had a chance to bond with them. Also, because they made up and got rid of the tree, they solved the problem in a positive way, and for that, I feel like I don't need to sue Applejack for almost killing me.

I thought my first sleepover was a success and I wanted to do it again. It was fun not having Spike around and having time to just newer friends. I feel like I know them more now. Whiny and annoying. But I still live them as my friends.
