-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I shouldnt have gotten her a dog. You think to yourself as you put the leash around Ceviches collar. It was about 4 in the morning, and the dog had been whining to go outside. Youre grateful that he didnt use the restroom inside, but youre also mad that Rainbow refused to get up and take the dog out. Its still dark outside, as expected, but it was also raining.

You were only wearing boxers and a hoodie, your logic was that it was four in the morning, so if anyone saw you, they would understand. But so far no one had seen you, as expected. You put up your hood and yawned as Ceviche walked around the grass and went to the bathroom. Your feet were getting wet, but you didnt care, you just wanted to let Ceviche do his business, and for you to go back to sleep.

You shut your eyes but you open them again almost instantly, because of a loud rumble of thunder that made Ceviche yelp and run over to you. The rain starts coming down pretty hard, and you pick up Ceviche and run back inside. Fuck, Im probably not going back to sleep now

You open the door to your dorm and put Ceviche on the ground, who runs over and jumps on your bed and sprawls his limbs out. Another loud rumble of thunder comes, and he spazzes out for a moment, before readjusting by putting his head under your pillow. Smart dog.

You sit down on the bed and pet him. It only takes about a minute before the dog is dead asleep, and now you were bored and completely awake at four in the morning. This is your fault, you think as you look at Rainbow, who is facing towards you, her whole body hugging one of her pillows. You walk over and sit on the edge of her bed, and start to think of what you could do to get her back. She shifts slightly on the bed and says your name. Wait, she just said my name

Mmmmmm Im done. I am just done.

You lie down next to Ceviche and scratch behind his ear. He starts to make noises and one of his back legs starts kicking, so you assume he is in a dream chasing something. You consider playing some Xbox, but you just werent feeling it. Your eyes wander around the room over to the walk in closet, that only Rainbow used, and you then considered going in there and looking for something to pre-occupy yourself with, but you decide against it, thinking that would be an invasion of privacy.

Then your eyes come across a metal bucket, lying on the floor next to her nightstand. Bingo, you think as you walk over and pick it up, eyes coming across an empty cup on her nightstand. Double bingo! You think walking out of the door with both the bucket and the cup.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You put one of Dashs hands in the warm cup of water you had just gotten. The bucket was still being filled with water at the restroom, and you decided to come back and put her hand in the cup with warm water so the deed would already be done by the time you got back.

You walked out of your dorm again, and made your way to the restroom and turned off the faucet. The bucket had just a little bit over half full, and when you put your finger in it, you recoiled at how cold it was. Oh Rainbow, youre going to love this.

Perfect timing. You think as you stand at the door watching Rainbow stir. You quietly made your way to her bed side, and held the water bucket in both hands as she rubs her eyes and starts to finally wake up.

Wake up Dashie, youre going to be late for school You whisper just loud enough for her to hear.

Why is my bed wet and why is my hand in a glass of waterWait She turns her head slowly towards you, eyes as wide as saucers. You tossed the water at her as soon as she made eye contact with you. She screams and is immediately soaked to the bone.

Revenge is sweet. You say, barely getting it to come out as English because of how hard you were laughing.

You jerk! She says shivering, wrapping her arms around herself to try and keep warm.

Alls fair in love and war. You say throwing her a towel, which she gladly accepts and wraps around herself.

Well, if you would have just taken poor Ceviche out earlier You say interlocking your fingers behind your neck and lying down on your bed, next to Ceviche. A flash of lightning, accompanied almost immediately by thunder, makes Dash jump and run over to you and lie down next to you, burying her face in your side while latching onto you.

You dont think anything of it, and you try and push her off of you, but another rumble of thunder goes off and she squeezes you harder. Oh, its the storm

Well this wasnt how it was supposed to play out. I have a soaking wet girl who wont let go of my side, who is currently getting me extremely damp, and she is scared of thunder storms. How do I go about this? Oh I know!

Hey Dash, could you let me get up for a few seconds? Another rumble of thunder.

P-Please dont go

Im not going anywhere, I told you yesterday. I just want to get something for you She loosens her grip and lets you go. You walk over to her nightstand and open up the bottom drawer, the drawer she let you put some of your things in. You pulled out your noise cancelation headphones and you unplugged your phone from the charger. You walk back over to her and she sits up and lets you lay back down, and then she immediately latches back on to you. Man, she must have one big fear of thunderstorms. You turn your phone back on and plug in the headphones,

Hey Rainbow, put these on, they will help. You didnt care that her hair was wet. She was scared and you were going to help her, even if it did mess up your headphones. She slips the headphones on, and you plug the cord into your phone and play a song in your playlist Sleep, entitled Wednesday Afternoon. You had found it on some guys blog, he had supposedly recorded the sounds at his cabin one Wednesday Afternoon, and you found it extremely peaceful. Another flash of lightning followed by thunder, but this time Dash didnt react. She had her eyes closed and she was listening to Wednesday Afternoon, her grip on you loosening.

She was getting you pretty wet, and you are regretting ever throwing the water on her, not because she was getting you wet now, but because you woke her up during a storm. You hesitated at first, but you finally worked up the nerve to put your arm around her, and with your other arm you started running your fingers through her hair. She let out a sigh when you ran your fingers through the first time, and within a minute, she was out like a light, just like Ceviche. You kept running your fingers through her hair, it was just so soft, almost like Egyptian cotton, but it felt so much nicer to the touch you couldnt describe it if you tried. You slowly started fading in and out of consciousness, until you eventually fell asleep.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You yawn exceptionally loud as you open your eyes and try to stretch. Why cant I stretch? You look to your left to see Rainbow still clinging to you with your noise cancellation headphones on, and everything that happened earlier started flooding back. But that didnt change the fact something was on your right side. Oh please be Ceviche hugging me you think as you turn your head slowly to the right. Your eyes come across Ceviche sitting down in front of you on the bed; tilting his head sidewayswell its not Ceviche

Confusion floods your senses as your eyes come across another girl on your side. Why is Pinkie in my bed...Why is she hugging my arm and more importantly, why is she in my room? You dont know how to feel, like a boss for having two girls in your bed, or confused on how one of them got there. You knew how Rainbow got there, it had only happened this morning, and she was just scared of some thunder and lightning so you were just comforting her, but how the hell did Pinkie get there?

You decide to just let it happen and you attempt to get up, but Pinkie has a death grip on you.

CevicheHelp me You whisper to the dog sitting down in front of you, who only tilts his head to the other side, and you imagine him saying;

Nah dog. I knew I should have gotten that German Shepard instead of you

You try nudging Pinkie but she just adjusts herself, and mumbles something about cupcakes at the same time. I am not laying here bored out of my mind. How the fuck can I get out of this situation

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You eventually managed to wiggle your arm free from Rainbow, and since they were both the heaviest sleepers you had ever known, you just repositioned yourself on the bed to make it easier to get free from Pinkie's death grip.

Eventually you got free, and somehow the girls were like magnets because now they were inches apart, arms around each others necks, and Pinkies leg was wrapped around one of Rainbows. Pictures last forever you think as you take a picture and save it to your phone, for future reference if either of them tried to make me do something I didnt want.

Now that you were free, you started trying to remember how Pinkie ended up in your bed. Ceviche had slowly made his way in-between the small space between the girls and he was laying belly down on the bed in between them snoozing, while you were sitting on Rainbows bed trying to figure out how Pinkie got here. Dear Ceviche, you are probably one of the smartest dogs Ive ever met, but you still left me there to get free myself. So I will most likely have to get you back somehow.

You saw Rainbow start to stir and you wonder how she will react to having Pinkie that close to her in a bed. You hear a small whisper;

What the fuck I thought it would be louder, but I suppose that works

Dash sits up and slips the headphones around her neck, petting Ceviche who had sat up alongside her. She looks around until she spots you and walks over to you. You stand up and smile, and she punches you in a place you shouldnt get punched.

FFFFUUUUUUU-" But Rainbow puts her hand over your mouth and whispers;

Dont screamPinkie gets cranky if she doesnt wake up on her own She takes her hand off of your mouth, and Ceviche continues to lick you.

I suppose I deserve that You say clutching your groin and sitting up, I didnt know you had a fear of storms. She doesnt seem to hear you, and she just sits down on your bed and pats the bed, and Ceviche jumps on.

How can I make this situation better for me? You formulate a plan in your head, and you got dressed in clothes just in case you had to sprint.

You and Pinkie were crazy earlier. Rainbow raises an eyebrow.

What do you mean?

You dont remember?

No, I dont. Now tell me. Perfect.

Pinkie brought over some wine coolers, and you two tried going over your limit. You two ended up You wave your hand back and forth in the air while nonchalantly looking around the room, making out.

Rainbows eyes get as huge as saucers and her eyes dart back and forth from Pinkie and you.

You wont tell anyone right?

Well you two already paid Rarity a visit, and who knows who she will tell. Perfect

Her eyes look like they are about to burst from their sockets, and she looks at your alarm clock and checks the time. It should be about 8:45

She stands up and walks out of the door, still only dressed in shorts and a tank top and you follow her. She knocks on Raritys door, but doesnt get an answer. She continues to knock for a few minutes until you say;

Maybe you should just give up And then the door opens.

WHAT DO YOU WANT!? Oh god she looks scary Rainbow flinches but quickly regains her composure and walks inside her room.

Rarity, please tell me you wont tell anyone. Oh this is going to be great.

Tell anyone about what? Rarity says after partially closing the door, obviously concerned at Rainbows tone.

About Pinkie and I She said looking at the ground. PFFFFT THIS IS GREAT!

You and Pinkie are? She says, now intrigued.

No, but you saw us last night so there might be something between us HAHAHAHA

I didnt see you at all yesterday Rainbow Dash, but I saw Pinkie. She says plainly.

Rarity and Rainbow slowly turn their heads towards you, and you are biting your lip trying not to laugh. Cats out of the bag! You think as you sprint out of the door laughing your head off. You make it about one third of the way to the loft before Rainbow tackles you and puts you in a headlock, and then proceeds to drag you back to your room. Once you get too your room, she opens it and pushes you inside, and then she locks it. Your still laughing lightly too yourself, you thought the whole thing was pretty funny.

You are a jerk.

Aw you love me though Rainbow.

Pinkie starts to stir and you get another idea, this one just to tick off Rainbow. You walk over to Pinkie and laydown with her, and then wrap your arms around her and pull her towards you. You glance at Rainbow who is glaring at you again, this time honestly looking like she would hurt you.

You motion for Rainbow to sit on the edge of the bed, and she listens, looking like she is about to punch your face until it collapses in on itself.

How come earlier when you were sleeping you said my name and then Mmmm You say teasing her, she blushes and goes and lies down on her bed.

I was dreaming about hurting you if you ever got your revenge, and what do you know, you got your revenge earlier. Now I get to hurt you once you let go of Pinkie. She said lying down on her bed, which was still probably wet, facing the wall.

Hey Rainbow, remember when I told you yesterday that I had my eyes on someone?

She almost instantly turns to you while still lying down.

Yes, who is it? You turn to Pinkie who was still sound asleep so Rainbow couldnt see your face.

What would you do if I told you it was Pinkie Pie? You say running your fingers through her hair. Silence.

You turn and you see Rainbow right next to you, glaring down at you.

You like my only childhood friend? Dead serious.

No, I was just asking theoretically You see her visibly loosen up and she says;

I would probably hurt you, and then if you ever broke her heart I would break your face. Ouch.

Okay, what if I told you it was Rarity?

Im not the one whos signing a death wish. She chuckles.

And what if I told you it was Octavia? You say, looking into her eyes.

She lowers her head so it was inches from yours and says;

Well then I would call you a liar, because you told me you would answer one hundred percent truthfully, and you werent lying. And then she raises her head and grins at you. Darn, plan is going down south

Alright, fair enough, but how would you react if I told you I changed my opinion of one girl, and started to like Vinyl?

Whos Vinyl?

The girl with the blue hair who got you extremely jealous. You say in a matter of fact way, extra emphasis on extremely jealous. Dead quiet Pinkies eyes open and she looks shocked to see you so close to her, but you give her a look that said just go with it, pretend to be asleep.

You sit up and carefully move to the other side of Pinkie, so Pinkie was the one who was closest to Rainbow, and your back was to the wall. You turned Pinkie to face you and pulled her head into your chest.

Hey Rainbow, youre looking pretty jealous. It was true, her face was bright red and her fists were clenched.

Well Im not; its just hot in here. She used her hand as a fan for extra emphasis.

Ceviche jumps on the bed and puts his head on Pinkies leg. Daaaw Ceviche

You know, Pinkie is quite the looker, plus shes always happy. Her eyes are such a beautiful shade of blue, and shes so nice, plus her hair is so curly and soft. You say running your fingers through her hair, which causes Pinkie to tense up a bit, but then a split second later relax.

You sure youre not jealous? I mean less than a few hours ago I was doing the same thing to you, and you seemed to enjoy it quite a bit

Im not jealous. She says turning her back on you, and turning on her Xbox and TV.

If you say so You break the embrace and separate yourself from Pinkie.

Sorry about that Pinkie, I just have this little game I like to play where I try and make Rainbow blush.

I understand, Dashie is just so cute when she blushes! Pinkie says jumping up and tackling Rainbow.

Wait, how long were you awake Pinkie? Haha Rainbow!

Only a few minutes, and DASH YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU HAD SUCH A CUTE PUPPY OHMIGOSH- You put your hand over her mouth and ask;

Pinkie, how come when I woke up earlier you were in my bed hugging me?

Oh I can explain that! she said running over to Ceviche and tackling him.

You see, I woke up early because I heard some screaming, I had fallen asleep in Raritys room while she was measuring me last night. Any who, I heard whining coming from your room, so I came over to investigate. I got tackled by this puppy here, she says lifting Ceviches ears up and playing with them, and I took him out for a walk. I didnt see you guys, and I was all sad because I thought you left the poor puppy there to pee himself, but when I came back in I looked a little harder and I saw you and Dashie cuddling on your bed, and I was like Oh that looks comfortable! so I crawled onto the bed and copied Dashie! She said letting go of Ceviche and spreading her arms out, imitating how Rainbow looked to her.

Wait, so let me get this straight, you took out Ceviche here, by the way thats his name, and then you saw me and Rainbow and decided you should join too? She nodded her head viciously and wrapped her arms around herself in a giant hug.

And we werent cuddling You say, feeling a blush come up into your cheeks, She was scared of the storm last night and I was just comforting her.

Dashie isnt scared of storms! Pinkie says pulling a pair of glasses from behind her and putting them on. Wait, where did she just get those from!? More importantly, she isnt scared of storms? You think as Dash tackled Pinkie and said;

Pinkie shut up, she then tackles Pinkie, I am too scared of storms! she said wrestling Pinkie who was giggling.

So you pretended to be scared of storms to get me to hold you?

No! I am scared of storms, Pinkie doesnt know anything! Pinkie wiggled free of Rainbow who had lost her focus when replying to you, and then she tackled you to the ground and said;

Dashie isnt scared of storms, shes scared of telling you that she li-" and then Dash tackles her off of you and covers her mouth.

Pinkie doesnt know anything! Just forget she even said that, I am really scared of thunderstorms! she said looking anywhere but your eyes.

If you say so Well Rainbow today is probably the last day for that little deal we made, since the rest of the week we have school. Were you planning on making me go with you somewhere again, or do I have the freedom to do anything today? Dash smiles and sticks her tongue out, and pulls down right below her eye showing you the white of it and says;

Were going back to the mall since you seem so eager to spend time with me! You sigh and fall face first onto your bed.

Only if Pinkie comes with us.

Yay!

Great Haha Rainbow.

Can we stop for some coffee too? I havent had coffee in like 3 days

I want some coffee too! Er, Pinkie I dont think that would be a good idea

No Pinkie, you remember what happened last time you drank coffee

Aw phooey...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are in the limo with Mr. Walls driving you around again. You had gotten Rarity to pet sit Ceviche since all she was going to be doing that day was making some clothes for Pinkie, since she measured her last night. Rainbow and Pinkie were sitting across from you talking about stuff you couldnt care less about, and you were just on your phone. You are reading rage comics, but then you get a text from that girl Vinyl you met yesterday.

(Conversation is in *s, and Vinyls text is bold)

*Hey*

You think about what to say and just settle on;

*Hi.*

*Doing anything today?*

*Yea, a few of my friends are taking me back to the mallPretty much against my will.*

*Bummer. I was going to invite you over to show you something*

*Show me what?*

*Ive only shown it to a few people*

Uh, where is this going

*Why would you show me? I talked to you for like 5 minutes yesterday*

*I suppose Ill just take a picture of it. Gimme a few minutes*

*Uh, okay.*

Er, I dont know whether to be happy or confused about this. I have a partial idea of what she is talking about, and if my idea is correct, this limo is going to get real awkward.

*I think youre going to like it, its pretty nice. The inside is all cozy and warm, but some spots are sticky from some accidents I've had*

Either she is making this sound sexual, or she is leading somewhere with this.

*Could you clarify for me, I dont really understand what you are referring to*

*Also there are these two big squishy things, and I just love feeling them, they are so soft. Ill take an up-close picture of them*

Suspicion rising You glance over to Rainbow and Pinkie who had stopped their conversation and were looking at you.

Whats up, you were smiling a few minutes ago but now you look confused.

Oh, its nothing Dash I was just texting that girl Vinyl andYeah. They both raise an eyebrow and look at each other at the same time, and then run over, Pinkie sitting on your left and Rainbow on your right.

You sound a little suspicious Rainbow said attempting to grab your phone.

Yup yup yup, you look like you have just seen a ghost. Can we see your phone?

No! I mean I would let you but my phone is practically dead... Yea thats it, nothing to hide, its just almost dead. You say hastily making your way to the other side of the limo, putting your phone in your pocket.

If you have nothing to hide, then let us see your phone.

I told you, its almost dead!

Pinkie pulls out her phone and waves it in front of your face as they make their way over to you again.

We have the same phone, and I brought my car charger! Fuck.

Oh, well You get your phone out of your pocket and shove it down your pants.

There. Now let it be. Rainbow hesitates, but then smiles. Pinkie reaches behind your ear with nothing in her hand, and says;

Ha! I got your phone! She says while pulling her hand back with your phone.

HOW THE-! You say standing up and lunging towards Pinkie, who had started walking towards the other side of the limo. But you didnt make it very far, because Dash pantsed you, and you and your phone fell to the ground. Pinkie dived for your phone and she and Dash sat on the floor with it, laughing their faces off.

Ha! You will never figure out my passcode! You think pulling up your pants mumbling random curses.

The only smudges on the screen are from the numbers six and nine and then Pinkie touches the screen in the order six, nine, six, nine. YOURE FUCKING KIDDING ME! You think as you try and jump up and take the phone.

Wait no-" you say, but you freeze in place as you hear your phone vibrate, and the ringtone for a picture message plays. Oh sweet blueberry muffins I hope the picture isnt what I think it is

You attempt to gather yourself as they try and figure out your phone.

No you tap on that... And then you slide down

No Dashie, you slide down and then slide left there and then you grab your phone from Pinkies grasp and go into the fetal position.

You have got to be kidding me. Now we know something is up, just let us see the picture at least

No, let me look at the picture ALONE, and then I will see if you two can look at it. If I deem it as bad and I delete it, you can see the conversation leading up to it You say, gulping at the end.

Okie-Dokie-Lokie, Im alright with that, are you Dashie?

Fine.

You get up and slowly unlock your phone, and you slide down the notification bar and tap on Vinyls name. How was it that hard to figure out? You hesitate on clicking the picture, but you eventually do, and if you were drinking something, you probably would have done a spit take. The next picture came in, and you excitedly tapped on it, and you doubled over laughing at it, sliding the phone on the floor towards them.

Read the conversation first, and then look at the pictures. They gladly pick the phone up and read the conversation leading up to the pictures, there faces going from excited, to This is making me feel awkward, too finally This is getting sexual. They glanced over at you with a look of disgust, and you waved your hand in front of you trying to tell them to look at the pictures. They both look at the first picture and are confused, and then the second picture they both start laughing.

Wow, why do I have the feeling she was doing that to you on purpose?

Because she probably was Pinkie. You say laughing along with them.

You were wrong about the pictures, completely wrong, and you were glad you were wrong. It was a picture of what you assumed was her music studio, which looked extremely roomy and inviting, and the second picture was of two bean bag chairs next to each other in front of a laptop sitting on a small coffee table.

You get a text and they give you your phone, and you look at the text which said;

*I hope you liked it and if you werent disappointed by those pictures, I would probably be questioning your orientation right now :)*

You gave Rainbow back your phone, and told her to read it. She laughed and showed Pinkie, and then she tapped on the back button and saw all of your conversations, and one in particular catches her eye.

Whos this? She asks, holding the phone out in front of her, showing you the screen, which read Madelyn.

Oh, it was this girl I had a crush on before I left to come here. You state sadly, remembering her.

Oh, so you still like her? Rainbow says her head dropping to the floor.

No, like I said, I have my eyes on another girl. You say sitting in-between the two and throwing your arms around their necks.

Who?

I still havent gotten your answer why you were so jealous because I flirted with Vinyl.

Forget I asked.

Ha, okay Dashie-Washie. You say, messing up her hair.

Hey thats my nickname for her!

Sorry Pinks. You say, messing up Pinkies hair this time.

Hey thats my nickname for Pinkie!

Uh, sorry? You say, messing up your own hair and smiling.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are standing looking out over the giant mall again, at the same spot as yesterday. You took a deep breath and looked to your right, to see Dash in front of a game store, and Pinkie who was trying to talk to everyone who walked past her.

You walked over and dragged both of them into the video game store.

Dash, do I have to stay with you this time? You have Pinkie instead of Mister Walls today You say scratching the back of your neck.

No you cant go. Dash states plainly, starting to look at Xbox games. You glance over at the only employee in the store, a heavy set man who looked to be about twenty, give or take a few years.

Oh come on Dash, be reasonable, I spent practically the whole day yesterday with you, not to mention this morning when you were faking a fear of storms. She blushes at the last thing you said and turns to you and pushes her finger on your nose;

I. Did. Not. Fake. My. Fear. Of. Thunder. Storms. She said, pushing her finger against your nose each word.

Whatever you say Dashie-Washie You say pushing her finger off your nose.

Hey thats my nickname for her! You hear Pinkie scream from the other side of the store. Pinkie how did youPinkie being Pinkie

Fine, lets at least play a game me and my friends used to play.

What kind of game? She says, curiosity dripping from her words.

Ill explain when Pinkie gets back. And then Pinkie materializes next to you.

You called? GAH HOLY FU-Pinkie being Pinkie You tell yourself, still not used to Pinkie being herself

Alright, we played this game to boost our self-confidence, keep this in mind while I explain it. You say shifting your gaze from Pinkie to Rainbow. They both nod and you proceed;

Okay, the game revolves around getting phone numbers from people of another gender. Basically, we all walk around the mall, and we pick out different people for someone we are traveling with to talk to. In example, all three of us are walking around, and Rainbow picks out a girl and says How about her? and she nudges me. I have one option, which is immediately go and talk to the girl and attempt to get her number. If I so much as hesitate, right then and there I have to do 20 pushups, 20 jumping jacks, or 20 sit ups; the person in our group who spotted the other person picks the punishment. Also, if you do hesitate, you subtract one point from your score. Whoever has the most numbers by the end of the day wins.

They both seem to like the idea, and you quickly add;

The person you spot can be ugly, pretty, a slob, or a clean freak, it doesnt matter, they have to do it. Whoever has the least numbers buys dinner for everyone, and everyone picks the most expensive place they can.

Rainbow hesitates a bit, and you add;

Its okay if you're too chicken Rainbow, you dont have to play You say chuckling.

I am not Scootaloo! Im totally ready to start this! She says puffing out her chest for effect.

Im ready too! Pinkie copies Rainbow by puffing out her chest too.

Wait whose Scootaloo?

Youll meet her eventually She pretty much stalks me over the holidays

So you have a stalker Dashie? Should I be jealous? You say teasing her.

No, you shouldn't be jealous, she's my little cousin.

"Oh."
