“This is unbelievably amazing! My friends from Equestria would enjoy this!” Twilight exclaimed, before the game over screen appeared.

Sunset and I looked at each other completely amused at the excited pony princess turned human, gushing at losing at a video game.

“Never thought I would see someone be so excited, despite losing embarrassingly,” I commented with a chuckle.

“It’s so infectious that I am not even annoyed at her wasting all of my lives, I spent weeks accumulating,” Sunset added with a small smile.

“I think I am beginning to get the hang of it,” Twilight announced with a smile, before taking a power attack from an enemy, getting killed again, “Dang it. I will beat you eventually.”

“She hasn’t given up after thirty minutes on the first boss. She doesn’t quit no matter how long and how many times she fails, I will give her that,” Sunset said with a smile.

I simply nodded in agreement. Suddenly, right when Twilight managed to end up in a lucky steak of finally dodging the boss’ attacks, there was a knock on the door.

“Must be the others,” Sunset mumbled, before rushing to the door.

“Did I finally do it?” Twilight asked innocently and looking adorable, as the boss finally died, “Yes, in your face. No villain is a match for Twilight Sparkle!”

“Even though it took you over a hundred tries?” I quipped with a small smirk.

“Oh. I wasn’t the only one keeping track, I see,” Princess Twilight began with a sheepish smile and light blush on her face, “One hundred and thirty-six times by my count.”

“Teaching princess egghead how to play video games, I see,” Rainbow quipped with a smile on her face.

“Yep, it’s almost as fun as beating you at your favorite game Dashie,” I responded with a grin.

“Enjoy it, stud, I will end your streak one day.”

The girls and I were currently sitting down in a circle on the floor, playing at Dashie’s insistence, truth and dare again.

“Nice to see sleepovers aren’t that much different here,” Princess Twilight commented with a smile.

“Alright stud I have been waiting a while to get another crack at you again and this time I am going to end up on top.”

“Keep dreaming my delusional, adorable, little rainbow,” I simply responded before gently stroking her hair and giving her a quick kiss on her forehead, making her blush sheepishly.

“I… How do you affect me like this?” Rainbow shook her head, “Nevermind! I won’t let this get in my way of finally beating you!”

That’s my dashie. Isn’t she adorable and entertaining everyone?

“Just don’t get too trigger happy with him you forget us, Rainbow,” Applejack teased with a chuckle.

“Don’t worry. I have ideas for all of you,” Rainbow scoffed with a devilish grin, as she looked at all of us, “Oh and Princess I am not going easy on you.”

“I’m friends with your pony counterpart. I am no stranger to playing a rough game of truth and dare.”

“Good. Let’s get started.”

“As our guest of honor, why don’t we have the princess spin first?” Sunset suggested, getting nods from everyone else.

Twilight smiled nervously, as she spun the bottle, before it landed right at Fluttershy.

“Ok Fluttershy. Truth or dare?”

“T-truth.”

“Alright since I am here to learn more about a certain someone,” Princess Twilight began, giving me a quick look, “All you have to do is tell me what you think about him.”

“O-oh,” She squeaked nervously, before taking a relaxing breath, while blushing hotly, “Well he is handsome and nice. He seems to like animals and… and…” She paused to take a deep breath, “When he hugged me during his birthday, I felt so warm and safe.” She managed to finish, before realizing what she admitted and stammered, “Oh. I didn’t mean to say the last part.”

“Even though you struggled to, Fluttershy,” Rainbow quipped with a chuckle, making the shy girl hide behind her long hair, “It’s clear you have a crush on him like the rest of us,”

“O-ok maybe a little, but I don’t think I am ready to handle this whole harem thing yet.”

“Take your time Fluttershy. The offer will always be open,” Sunset assured her.

“Want to bet, the second they are alone, she gives into her urges and joins right then and there?” Rainbow asked with a chuckle, making the shy girl blush nervously.

“Alright enough teasing Shy,” Applejack told Rainbow, “It’s your turn Shy. When you are ready.”

Fluttershy simply nodded. After a couple minutes she finally spun the bottle and it landed on Rainbow.

“Your chance for payback, Shy,” Applejack noted.

“Please, I doubt she would and even if she does it would be anything good,” Rainbow scoffed.

“You know Dashie I figured after all the times I messed with you, you would have learned beware the quiet ones,” I quipped with a smirk, causing Rainbow to pout and the others to chuckle.

“He got you there, Rainbow, as usual,” Applejack teased with a smirk.

“Rainbow, truth or dare?” Fluttershy asked, after we all calmed down.

“You know me Flutters. Dare.”

“Since you enjoy my, as you call it, being sappy by revealing my thoughts on him, I want you to do the same and don’t leave anything out.”

“What! Come on Fluttershy!” Rainbow complained, cringing at the thought of doing that, especially in front of the others.

“I told you,” I teased, before I and the others laughed, while Rainbow again pouted.

“You were never this devious in all my years of knowing you,” Rainbow complained.

“That makes it a double edge sword. I know you enough to know your weakness,” Fluttershy simply responded with an innocent smile, “Besides, Twilight wants to know, and you should learn not to be ashamed of your feelings.”

“Fine!” Rainbow began, before taking a deep breath, “I guess it started when I first met him as my tutor. I did find him handsome, I admit,” she admitted before taking a quick breath.

“I never would have thought with you it was attraction at first sight, Rainbow, darling,” Rarity teased with a grin.

“Oh, shut up! Just because I was against romance, didn’t mean I couldn’t find guys hot.” She responded bitterly, before deciding to continue, “I didn’t know or think he was egghead material, like the Twilights here.”

“Hey!” Both Twilights exclaimed, offended, at the same time, before looking at each other sheepishly.

“Anyway, he still showed himself as one, but as a cool one” She continued, before getting a tight hug from me.

“Glad to hear that, Dashie, my awesome moronic, yet cool adorable rainbow,” I told her,

“Yeah,” She simply began, blushing hotly from my words and hug, before taking a deep breath, “Despite that since I was against romance I denied my true feelings for him, until a certain incident that forced me to realize how important he was to me. Now I am more honest about them, and I am much happier about it,” She finished, while returning the embrace.

“I see,” Twilight began with a smile, “Your counterpart is the same way and it’s nice to see one of you open your mind to this kind of thing.”

“Yeah, yeah. Now, let’s move on now,” Rainbow responded somewhat bitterly.

---

“Alright stud, after hearing from Applejack how strong you are, I want to see it for myself,” Rainbow told me, before placing her right arm on the table, “I bet she was exaggerating.”

“Considering, she told me you have never won against her I don’t see how you could think that,” I quipped, getting a chuckle from said country girl.

“He got you there, Rainbow.”

“I almost do beat her,” Rainbow pouted.

I and the rest of the girls simply chuckled, before I placed my left arm on the table. Rainbow grabbed my hand with hers and tried to give it a tight squeeze, only for me to return the favor.

“Ow. Lighten up a bit, stud,” Rainbow complained with a pout.

“It’s not too late to get out of this Rainbow,”” Applejack teased with a chuckle.

“Please, I never back down from a challenge,” Rainbow scoffed.

“Right. Sugar cube, if you instantly pin her arm to the table, I’ll give you a reward.”

“It better be a good one, my small apple,” I simply responded, making her blush at my nickname for her.

“Apple? That has to be the worst nickname you have given to one of us, Stud,” Rainbow teased with a grin, making Applejack groan in anger and annoyance.

“I will now make the reward an even better one, sugar cube.”

“Like you would be able to do that anyway, stud,” Rainbow teased me with a chuckle, “On the count of three we both go all out. One. two. Three. Go!”

She tried to pin my hand with everything she had, only for her hand to almost instantly get pushed onto the table. She looked at her pinned hand in pure shock, before she blushed hotly.

“That doesn’t count! I wasn’t ready,” She freaked out, while the others chuckled and smirked at the scene.

“Sure, my little weak rainbow,” I teased with a smirk, making her blush darkened.

“I am not little or weak. Again.”

We connected our hands again and she gave me a determined look.

“Now, I am ready. Go!”

She tried again to push my hand to the table only it wasn’t budging.

“Oh, I got you now, stud,” she told me cockily despite struggling to even keep the stalemate going.

I sighed, before slowly moving her hand onto the table again.

“No!” Rainbow grunted and tried desperately to move my hand.

Finally with a strong final push, I pinned her hand onto the table again. She simply looked at her pinned hand in defeat, before she sighed dreamily.

“You were saying Rainbow,” Applejack teased.

“Oh, shut up! Ok I can see how he beat you now, but I don’t like it,” Rainbow responded bitterly.

“Really? I heard you sighed dreamily. I see I am not the only one that gets turned on when getting dominated.”

“I am not turned on!” Dashie snapped bitterly.

“It’s ok, my adorable rainbow. I like it when you play tough,” I assured her, before gently stroking her hair, making her lightly blush, before she sighed.

“Ok. Maybe I do get turned on by that, but only when he does it,” She admitted sheepishly, “I can’t explain it. He’s just different and the only boy to make me feel this way.”

“Rainbow, I have been waiting God knows how long for you to catch the love bug and now that it happened. Oh, I don’t know what to say.”

“Do you have to be like this Rarity?” Rainbow asked somewhat bitterly.

“Considering, we are sharing him in a harem, I think I am more justified to be so.”

“Fine, I guess. Whatever.”

“You should start being more honest about your feelings, Rainbow. Like I am.”

“Speaking of feelings. Mind sharing yours about him, Applejack?” Princess Twilight asked.

“Sure, it all started when Big Mac finally decided to introduce me to him,” She recalled somewhat bitterly, before managing to move on, “I admit I thought he was handsome at first, but unlike Rarity, looks aren’t too important to me.”

“I will have you all know; I care for things more than just looks. Like his intelligence and artistic skills,” Rarity interrupted with a scowl.

“Good to know,” Applejack simply said with a small grin, before continuing, “For an introvert he can be charismatic and has a way with words. I remember how he complimented me, making me feel as beautiful as Rarity. Looking back, I think then I developed such a small crush I barely noticed it.”

“Oh my! How delightful!” Rarity exclaimed gushing, “Although, I am a little disappointed that you never did that to me, darling,” Rarity teased me with a smirk.

I found myself blushing lightly at Applejack’s reveal and Rarity’s teasing. At least Applejack decided not to go into explicated detail about that whole thing. That was one of my moments where I acted without thinking and while I don’t regret doing it, I rather not recall that embarrassing thing.

“I mean it should go without saying for you, though I suppose I will squeeze a moment in or more in the future.”

“Nice save and I will hold you to that, darling,” Rarity responded with a giggle.

“Anyway, as we spent more time together, I began to enjoy his company, especially him knocking Rainbow down a peg,” Applejack continued with a chuckle, before most of us joined, while Rainbow pouted.

“What is it? Shame Rainbow Day?” She asked bitterly.

“Don’t worry Dashie. I still love my awesome rainbow,” I assured her, before giving her a tight hug.

“You better.”

“On the Saturday after the last sleepover is when I both realized my bottled-up feelings for him and they became stronger and erupted out of the surface,” Applejack began before taking a relaxing breath, “I have a thing for strong guys, but sadly the ones that could give me a challenge, or even beat me, other than my brother aren’t my type. Until he came along. When I lost to him, it opened my eyes to my feelings for him and the rest is history.”

Later that night we all finally decided to hit the hay and Pinkie provided sleeping bags for all of us, except me and Sunset.

“Since tomorrow is my turn, you get to sleep in our bed this time,” Sunset told me with a huge smile on her face.

“Just don’t be too loud you two," Rainbow teased with a chuckle, making the two of us blush heavily.

“Must you be dirty minded, Rainbow?” Sunset asked bitterly.

“I mean we’re all teenagers with urges and hormones,” Rainbow shrugged with a smirk.

Sunset and I shook our heads and made our way to our bed. I quickly got to the right side, before she gently cuddled right next to me and pulled the covers over us. She then wrapped her arms around me.

“Pinkie, if I catch you trying to steal him from me, your ass is kicked out of here! I don’t care if it’s in the middle of the night!” Sunset shouted.

“Come on! I would never think… Ok I have thought of it, but I wouldn’t do it. Rainbow might though.”

“What!? All I do is tease you all. I would never do that!” Rainbow exclaimed before mumbling something.

“What was that?!” Pinkie asked.

“Nothing!”

“You all have an interesting dynamic with him,” Princess Twilight noted, “This has all been interesting and I am curious to learn more.”

“Great, now we have two eggheads… Well two and a half since stud is too cool to be a full egghead.”

“Thank you, my sweet rainbow. You are smarter than a full moron.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Finally, after that fun interaction we all decided to hit the hay for the night. Today was interesting with Princess Twilight and myself learning more about how some of the girls feel about me and I know more are going to spill their guts later.
