> My Little Pony: Friendship is Cine-magic: Tom and Jerry: The Movie > by IndyWriter Productions > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Part 1: The Early Call > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The low, orange light from the sun slowly brightened the night sky, changing into the bright blue of the morning. It began to light up the lands of Ponyville, alerting the waking residents of another fulfilling day. The town was bathed in the welcoming light and warmth, the grass giving off a slight glisten from the morning dew. As the light crept up to the Castle of Friendship, the crystalline structure gave off a subtle sparkle, almost as if it was glowing. Within the confines of the castle, Spike was comfortably resting in his bed, softly snoring. The rising light bled into his room. His body could feel with warmth and and change in brightness resulted in him cracking his eyes open. The dragon let out a yawn. He gently stood up, pushing away the covers and drawing in a long inhale while stretching. He sauntered over to the window and opened the blinds, allowing more sunlight in. He looked out through the town, taking in the glowing sight. He stood at the window for a minute, letting the sun warm up his body. While he hadn't intended on waking this early, today was an especially bright day and any day like this was not worth sleeping-in, in his eyes. "Quite the beautiful day, today.” Spike said, still taking in the sunlight. “Guess I'll start breakfast before Twilight and Starlight wakes up." He took pride in being the one to prepare meals for Twilight, Starlight, and himself. Truth be told, he really enjoyed cooking in general. It was the reason why he never complained about cooking for the princess. Quietly leaving his room, Spike made his way to the kitchen to prepare the morning's meal. In another part of the castle, Twilight was still slumbering in her bed. Instead of the light being the one to wake her up, she slowly opened her eyes and blinked several times to get the sleep out of them. She let out a yawn while stretching out her wings. The alicorn gave a calming sigh. She knew today was going to be a more relaxing day for her. Twilight had finished the other day with completing pretty much all of the royal paperwork for the next couple of days. Not only was she starting to get the hang of the princess duties, she also found herself with lighter days every now and then. It allowed her to relax and spend more time with her friends or family if given the opportunity. The waking alicorn climbed out of bed before leaving her bedroom. As she did, the scent of sizzling breakfast food wafted throughout the hallway. Twilight took a long sniff, a smile growing on her face. "Spike must be downstairs making breakfast." She said to herself. She always enjoyed Spike's cooking, which was the reason why she never cooked that often. That's not to say she didn't know how to cook or refused to, she was more than capable of making her own meals. But, it never tasted the same compared to Spike's. She never could figure out how he made his meals so enticing. Twilight made her way to the kitchen just to greet the little dragon. As she entered, she saw him happily working at the stovetop frying eggs and hay-bacon. "Good morning, Spike." She greeted warmly. "Good morning, Twilight." Spike turned and smile back. "Breakfast is almost ready." "Mmm, sounds good." Twilight responded. "You always make the best breakfasts." "Heh, I try." Spike chuckled. "Good ahead and take a seat at the dining table. Starlight should on her way down here soon, as well." "You sure you don't need any help?" Twilight asked. "No, thanks. I got things from here." The baby dragon answered. "Okay, then." The alicorn stepped out of the kitchen and made her way to the dining room. She took a seat on one of the chair just as Starlight Glimmer entered the room. Good morning, Starlight." Twilight greeted. "Morning, Twilight." The lavender unicorn yawned. "Listen, I need to talk to you about something." "What is it?" Twilight asked, perplexed. "Well, you know how you and the others have been going to other worlds on these recent friendship missions, right?" Starlight started. "And that, from what you've told me, they are very different in many ways compare to Equestria." "Of course, even now it still amazes and intrigues me how those other worlds operate." Twilight smiled cheerfully. "Yeah, but, I've been thinking." Starlight said. "Have you ever thought about...I don't know...documenting these worlds? Maybe try getting to know more about them?" Twilight giggled a bit which confused Starlight a bit. "Well, I wouldn't say I've documented my findings when travelling to the worlds we've been to, but, I do have a stockpile of notes about them." She explained. "And it certainly would be nice to visit back there, too. Not only to learn more new things, but also to see old friends. I even made a deck of flashcards with some of the..." Twilight paused for a second, trying to think of the right word to describe her other-worldly friends. "Creatures?...Beings?" She pondered. "Whatever, I made flash cards of them." With her magic, Twilight popped a deck of cards into the room. "See." She showed them to Starlight. The lavender unicorn studied them with curiosity. "Dusty Crophopper, Cloud, Shaun...Tigger?" Starlight said to herself. "These are some strange names. Also, I've never any creature like these before." "Probably because they come from different worlds." Twilight said smartly. "Good point." Starlight chuckled. "Okay, girls, breakfast is ready." Spike walked in, balancing three plates of eggs and hay-bacon on his hands and head. "Oh, and good morning, Starlight." "Morning, Spike." Starlight said back before. Spike set the plates down on the table and the two ponies and dragon began enjoying the food. "So, do you plan on ever doing anything with the information you already have?" Starlight asked to the princess. Twilight pondered that question for a second. "Well, in all honesty, I'm not entirely sure just how impactful the info would be if I just unloaded it out to the public. I mean, me and the others already talk about our missions with family and friends." She admitted. "Does Celestia know about all of it?" Spike swallowed his eggs. "About the note-taking? Yes. But, I've only been able to share a little bit of it with her." Twilight said. "You know, because she's busy a lot of the time and so am I." Makes sense." Spike said simply. "I wonder, though, if there was a way to travel those worlds again without the need of the cutie map. Like with the magic mirror to the human realm." "I remember you talking about that to me, Twilight." Starlight brought up. "The mirror thing, that is." "That does seem like an interesting idea. Not only would it allow us the travel to those worlds again, it could also allow our friends from said worlds to visit here, too." Twilight concluded. Exactly!" Spike chimed in. "Though I have to wonder if doing that is even possible." Twilight brought a hoof up to her hoof. Spike did bring up a good point. It seemed implausible to create some kind of bridge between Equestria and the other worlds. Then again, the magic mirror allowed such a thing, regardless of how similar the two worlds were. It didn't seem like that much of a stretch in retrospect. "Perhaps I should talk to Celestia about that." Twilight finally said. "Maybe she might have a way to do that. If she's okay with it, that is." "Sweet!" Spike said excitedly. "It would be great to see Barret and Tifa again." Twilight chuckled. "Well, until then, let's just go about our normal day." She continued eating her breakfast. Starlight and Spike were in agreement and finished their meals, as well. Once breakfast was over, Starlight left for the Crystal Empire. She had planned a little get-together with both Sunburst and Trixie. "Have fun, Starlight." Twilight waved at the unicorn. "Thank you." Starlight waved back and left the castle. With her gone, that left only Twilight and Spike. "So, what should we do now?" Spike asked. "You finished the paperwork for today last night." "Well, we could reorganize the books in the library." The alicorn said thoughtfully. Spike smiled immediately turned to a frown. "But, we did that a couple days ago." He pointed out. "Yes, but, there's absolutely nothing wrong with variety." Twilight said. "Now, come on, Spike. Let's get started." Spike sighed in defeat and disdain. This was not how he thought his day would go. However, the two froze when an all to familiar sensation came over them. Twilight's cutie mark began to emanate and Spike spines began to glow. "Oh, well, what do you know." Spike said to himself. "Guess reorganizing the library is off the list today." Twilight sighed. Spike pumped his fist victoriously, earning a glare from Twilight. Spike brought his arm to his side and nonchalantly cleared his throat. "Let's go and see where the map needs us this time." He said with an innocent grin. "We're still organizing the library when we're done." The unconvinced alicorn huffed. Spike didn't say anything, but his disappointed frown came back. "Never mind that, though." Twilight said. "For now, let's deal with this friendship problem." Twilight and Spike made their way to the map room. When they arrived, they soon discovered that the map was completely glowing. Which meant only one thing. "We're needed in another world, again." Twilight stated in surprise. "Wow. It's been about two weeks since our last mission." Spike said. "But, if that's the case, then our friends must be on their way here, too." "You're right." Twilight agreed. "So, let's wait for them." And so, the two waited, sparking up conversations here and there as they did so. It didn't take long, however, for Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Rarity to arrive at the map room. "Howdy, Twi." Applejack greeted. "Seems like where needed elsewhere in another world, again." "Yep." Twilight answered simply. "And rather early, too." Fluttershy said. "The day's barely begun." "And it's been only a couple of weeks since the last time, too." Rarity added. "That's what I said." Spike mentioned. "Well, no matter how early it is, we're ready for it." Rainbow said. "Oh, of course. I was merely pointing out the fact. I meant no grief by it." The alabaster unicorn sustained. "Well, everypony, we all ready to go?" Twilight asked. "Sure are, Twilight. Ain't nothin to it." Applejack replied confidently. "Oh, this always gets me so excited!" Pinkie bounced around ecstatically. "New friends, new friends, new friends! Here we come!" "Settle down, Pinkie." Twilight said. "I still after to make the portal." "Well, what are you waiting for? There are friends that need us!" Pinkie got right up into the alicorn's face. Twilight reeled back in surprise. "Calm down, Pinkie. I'm getting to it." She said. Twilight readied her horn and conjured up the portal spell. Like clockwork, the portal formed on the map table. It grew and enveloped the map. "This is it. Let's go." Rainbow dove into the portal. "I wonder what this world will be all about this time." Spike said. "Only one way ta find out." Applejack said. The other soon followed, sharing the same excitement and apprehension with each other. They were off on another friendship mission to another, brand new world. To be continued > Part 2: Predation at it's Finest > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The journey through the portal was something the Main 6 and Spike had gotten used to by now. The almost free falling feeling was becoming quite the norm for them. Especially since it seemed the multi-versal friendship missions were becoming a bit more frequent. Regardless, Twilight and her friends were prepared for anything. The end of the portal came in sight. One by one, they popped out through the portal opening, landing right on a sidewalk. The portal closed as soon as they were all out. The Main 7 began taking in their surroundings. Large buildings and towering skyscrapers were all around them. It became evident that they were in some kind of giant city. "I know I've said this with the Big City. But, place also reminds me of Manehatten." Rarity stated. "Probably because Manehatten looks exactly like any other city." Rainbow said bluntly. "It does not." Rarity spoke defiantly. "Name one thing that makes it unique from any other city." The pegasus mare challenged. "Simple. Manehatten has the most famous boutiques. No city can top that." Rarity boasted. Rainbow rolled her eyes. "Still pretty boring and samey." She said. Rarity glared at the unamused pegasus. "Well, how about that for a change of pace?" Spike pointed to a grassy opening surrounded by larger buildings. In the middle of the open spot was a small, yellow and red house with a moving truck parked against the curb. The ponies and dragon noticed two humans carrying furniture into the truck. "Well, if the portal brought us here, then there's got to be something going on in the house." Twilight said. "Must be. That place sticks out like a sore hoof." Applejack said. "Well, let's head over there, then." Rainbow said. The Main 7 headed over to the house. Meanwhile, inside, a woman made her way downstairs with her purse. "Are you almost finished?" She asked to the moving guys. "Just about." One of them said. "Don't forget the love seat." She made her way out through the door. "We got it." The two guys heaved the seat up and hauled it away. "And please hurry. It's a long drive to our new house." The woman said. In the now, vacant living room, a light grey housecat was sound asleep against his pillow. A food bowl with the word "TOM" printed on it lay next to him. "Tom? Thomas!" The lady called. The cat, not wanting to wake up, mashed his pillow against his hear to drown out the calls. "Hurry up, Tom. We're leaving." The lady said. That woke the cat up. Tom realized it was moving day and, with a gleeful smile, grabbed his pillow and flipped the bowl onto his head. He hurried out of the house. As he rushed by the flight of stairs, a tiny door in the wall opened up and a little, brown mouse poked his head out. He, too, realized it was moving day. He took a handbag and a blanket and chased after Tom. Tom nearly leapt across the front porch, almost colliding with Rainbow in the process. The two stepped back in surprise. "Hey, watch where you're going." The pegasus snapped. Tom just looked at her with a quizzical, yet weirded-out look. He noticed the other ponies and purple dragon, too. "Oh, it's a cat." Fluttershy was pleasantly surprised. "That's...standing upright." Despite the oddity, she came up to him to say hello. "Hi, there. I'm Fluttershy." She presented her hoof out. Tom looked around in confusion, not entirely sure how to go about this. Hesitantly, he took out his paw and shook the pony's hoof. "And I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twilight greeted. "And for the sake of transparency, these are our friends Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Spike." Various greetings came around from the others. "And who may your name be?" Rarity asked. Tom didn't respond. He remained mute. "...Usually, anypony would introduce themselves when asked what there name is." Rarity pointed out. "Oh, oh. Maybe it's speaking telepathically." Pinkie said excitedly. "But, I don't sense any sort of magic from this guy." Twilight said. "Do you know what he's saying, Fluttershy." "Uhm...no, because he's not saying anything at all. I can't translate him if he doesn't say anything." Fluttershy responded. "I'm sorry." Tom gave an impatient eyeroll and ran off toward the family-owned station wagon. "Rude." Rarity huffed. Tom dropped his belongings into the back of the car. He fluffed up his pillow and laid down against it, prepared for the relaxing journey to his new home. The Main 7 came up to the back of the car. "It was awkward 'nough that Shaun couldn't directly speak to us." Applejack stated. "But, this fellow ain't even movin' his lips period." "Maybe he's just mute." Twilight said. "I didn't think of that." Spike said to himself. As Tom lounged in the back, he noticed a tiny handbag and blanket fly up to the edge of the trunk. Soon after, his bitter enemy, Jerry Mouse, climbed up into the trunk. The Main 7 noticed him, too. Fluttershy got closer to him, adoring the small rodent. "Hello, little guy." She said sweetly. Jerry stepped back a bit. He looked at Fluttershy then to Tom, who just shrugged his shoulders. "Waaahhh! A mouse!" Rarity shrieked. She jumped into the air from fright and landed on Spike, who instinctively held out his hands to catch her. She landed in his arms, which caused Spike to strain to keep from dropping her. "Oh, thank you, Spike." She thanked. "No problem." Spike strained, a blush forming on his face. "But, get that mouse away from me!" She helplessly demanded. Jerry just gave her a sideways glare, before redirecting his attention to his belongings. As he did so, Tom looked around the boxes of supplies in the car to get rid of Jerry. Not out of Rarity's request, but because he couldn't stand that mouse. For as long as they knew each other, Tom and Jerry were bitter enemies, constantly feuding with each other. Always trying to one-up each other in screwing over each other's lives. Tom spotted a cue stick and grabbed. This would do nicely. Taking the end of it, he slowly maneuvered it underneath Jerry. He lifted the stick, taking the mouse by surprise. "Um, Mr. Cat, what are you doing?" Spike asked as he watched the spectacle. Tom held the stick upright, forcing Jerry the hold onto it to keep from falling. He brought the mouse right up to his nose and glared at him. Jerry flashed an innocent smile, but Tom wasn't having any of it. The grey pussycat pulled the end of the cue stick back to send Jerry flying. At the last second, however, Jerry grabbed ahold of Tom's whisker just before launch. Before Tom realized, he had already let go of the stick. Jerry was catapulted away, but since he was still grasping the cat's whiskers, Tom was pulled along with him. The Main 6 and Spike watched as the cat and mouse and sailed across the sky. Jerry was the first to land on the sidewalk. He bounced along the concrete before coming to a stop. He held his head in discomfort and looked up, spotting Tom about to land right on top of him. He tried to get out of the way, but there wasn't enough time. Tom slammed to the ground on top of the mouse. He grinded to a halt against the sidewalk. The impact somehow landed Jerry on top of Tom. Taking the opportunity, he scurried back inside the house, trampling over Tom's head in the process. Jerry frantically clambered up the stairs to the front door and Tom was soon to chase after him with the same cartoonish vigor. All the while, the Main 6 and Spike watched. "Pff. Bah, ha, ha, ha, ha!" Rainbow laughed hysterically. "Those two are hilarious." "You know, I can understand the whole feuding thing, kind of. Cats are the natural predator to mice." Twilight said. "But, I was expecting him to either kill the mouse or eat it and not flick it away with a stick." "Well, as long as the mouse is away from us." Rarity sighed. "Rarity, that mouse was more civil than some ponies." Fluttershy defended. "It even had a handbag." "Sorry, Fluttershy, but I just don't like mice." Rarity said. "I ain't a fan of mice, either." Applejack added. "But, even ah know this is downright ridiculous." "Let's just follow to see if they're okay." Twilight sighed. "Do we have to? I'd rather not be near that mouse." Rarity whined. Just then, the car revved up and began pulling away along with the moving truck. "Hey, Mr. Cat. Mr. Mousie, you're owner's leaving." Pinkie called out, hopping to the front door. "Now we should really notify them" Twilight spoke with a more urgent tone. The Main 7 all galloped inside the house to find the cat and mouse. Inside, Jerry skittered inside his hole, closing and locking the door. Tom was soon to arrive there. While Jerry was now cooped up in his home, that wasn't enough for Tom. He needed to make sure that mouse never got out ever again. As Jerry finished putting up all the locks on his doors, he breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away the sweat off his forehead. Suddenly, his entire home began to shake. Tom began hammering wooden boards against Jerry's door to keep him permanently locked up. The Main 7 soon came up to the spectacle. "Mr. Cat, what in Equestria are you doing?!" Fluttershy asked in horror. Tom didn't reply as he finished nailing to remaining board to the wall. "You're pretty much deadlockin' to poor thing inside it's home!" Applejack scolded. "How could you do something so cruel?" Fluttershy got right up to Tom's face. Tom, however, wasn't really intimidated. He tossed the hammer away and nonchalantly left the house to get back to the car. "And you're just gonna brush off the fact that you left that mouse to starve?" Twilight asked in disgust. "That's inhumane!" "Come on, we have to get the little mouse out of there." Fluttershy began trying to pry the boards out of the wall. The rest of the Main 6 and Spike all began trying to remove the wood boards. Even Rarity despite the fact he didn't even like the mouse. "Hold on. Maybe I can try burning the wood away." Spike suggested. "And risk burning the entire house down, too?" Twilight questioned him. "Oh...yeah. Fair point." The baby dragon answered sheepishly. Meanwhile, Tom exited the house, feeling rather pleased with himself. That was, until he noticed that his owner's car was gone. "Oh, yeah. We were going to tell you that your owner was leaving you." Pinkie walked up alongside the cat. "Buuut, we kinda got distracted with the whole mousie situation." Tom ran into the road. He looked around the street before spotting the moving truck and his owner's car rounding a corner and disappearing behind the buildings. "Heh, that's your karma." Rainbow smirked. Tom glared at the mare. He shook away the impolite thoughts and frantically ran down the street to catch up to the car. "Hey, Mr. Cat! Wait up!" Pinkie hopped after him. "Pinkie, wait!" Rainbow called at to her. "Ugh, why am I always the one who as to fetch her." Tom raced around the corner as Pinkie chased after him. He didn't get very far as he found himself trying to stop and bumping into a large stray dog on the sidewalk. Pinkie wasn't watching where she was going and crashed into Tom and Rainbow was flying too fast to stop and crashed into them. The dog growled maliciously at the cat and two mares, baring it's razor sharp teeth. "Hi, there." Pinkie greeted cheerfully. "Agh, you got bad breath." Rainbow winced in disgust. Tom gulped. He knew he was in some serious trouble now. He grabbed the dog's floppy ears and tied them around it's eyes, giving him enough time to make a run for it. "Oo, oo! Can you do that with my ears?" Pinkie asked as Tom ran away. "Forget that. We need to get out of here before we get eaten!" Rainbow took the pink mare by the midsection and shot off down the street. The dog was quick to shake his ears away from his eyes. he growled and barked angrily and gave chase to the three. Tom, Pinkie, and Rainbow rocketed back to the house, only to discover the door was now shut. Tom pulled at the door handle, but the door didn't budge. "Did you girls close the door on us?" Rainbow yelled. "Sorry, Rainbow, we didn't want to be rude and leave the door open." Rarity said. "Nopony lives here anymore. There's no point to that." Rainbow argued. "Besides, we have a serious issue right now." "I know. The poor mouse is still stuck." Fluttershy said woefully. "No, not that!" Rainbow yelled. "We've got another situation now." "What? What's going on?" Spike asked. "Uh, Dashie." Pinkie pointed to the sidewalk. The dog was right there, racing toward them with a furious vengeance. "Uh, oh." The unease mare said. Tom let out a shriek and raced around the house. "Hey! Wait for us!" Rainbow and Pinkie galloped after him. Around the back was second door with a pet door installed, which led to the kitchen area. Tom and Pinkie tried crawling through, but ending up getting stuck. "Dashie, a little help!" Pinkie cried. "Pinkie, what'n tarnation is goin' on?" Applejack asked as she and the others. Rainbow soon burst through the pet door, pushing Tom and Cat through in the process. "There's a dog out there." Rainbow warned. "A dog? Ya seriously scared of lil ol' mutt, Dash?" The apple farmer asked jokingly. "Yeah, what's gotten into you two?" Twilight asked. "There's nothing little about that dog." Pinkie waved her hooves. "It was like this big and had these nasty teeth." Curious, Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Spike all tried looking out through the pet door. Using her magic, Twilight opened the flap to view outside. Soon as she did so, the massive hound dashed right up to the pet door and started barking furiously. The only thing keeping it from entering was it's size. "Eeep!" Fluttershy shrieked. The four mares and dragon all slid back and fear. "That's one big dog." Spike shook. "See." Rainbow glared at her friends. "Well, now what do we do?" Rarity asked helplessly. "Try the front door again." Twilight said. Tom, along with Rainbow and Applejack immediately raced up to the front door and tried exiting from there. Tom opened the door, but, somehow, the dog was right there, still barking wildly. Tom quickly slammed the door shut. "How did he get there so quickly?" Rainbow asked incredulously. Spike then tried peaking out through the pet door again. The dog was there again, still barking. He jumped back in fright. "It's like it knows where we're trying to escape, somehow." He hid behind Twilight's hindlegs. Tom then raced up to a window. He opened it, but, once again, the dog was there, jumping and barking. Tom let out a shrieking meow and slammed the window shut. "It's bad enough were stuck in a vacant home now. And now we're being stalked by dogzilla over here." Rainbow stomped her hoof in annoyance. Everypony, relax." Twilight said. "There's got to be a way around this." "Let's try being sneaky." Pinkie dipped down onto her belly. "See if he can try to track us down now." "How much good is that going to do?" Rainbow asked. "That thing practically knows where we are it all times." "It's worth a shot. At this point, anything is worth a shot." Rarity said. The Main 6, Spike, and Tom all laid low, out of sight from the windows. Tom then stopped as he noticed the dog's ears poking over the windowsill. "Is the coast clear?" Spike whispered. The grey cat slowly peaked his head to the a window to see. At the same time, the dog peaked it's head to the same window. For a split second, the two mammals locked eyes, then Tom swung away from the window, standing flat against the wall. He wore a lost looked on his face. "Can't you just magic it away, Twilight?" Rainbow pushed. "But, I don't know what kind of effect it will have on the dog." Twilight debated. "Plus, I don't want to hurt the thing." "That thing wants to hurt us!" Rarity argued desperately. "Fine. Fluttershy, try scaring it away with you Stare." Rainbow ordered. "W-Wh-What?" Fluttershy said feebly. "I-I don't know if I can do that." "Come on, Fluttershy. You're our only hope." Spike begged. The nervous mare debated whether she should do so or not. She gulped and peaked through the window. The dog was still there. It flashed it's sharp teeth at her. Fluttershy quivered, but closed her eyes and inhaled. She glared at the muscular mutt with her Stare. The dog moved back a bit, slightly taken aback. However, it started barking angrily again, even clawing at the window. This startled Fluttershy badly, letting out panicked cry. She jumped away from the window and landed on her rump. "I-I-I d-don't think it w-worked." She whimpered. "Oh, great. Now we're stuck here for who knows how long." Rainbow shouted in frustration. "Don't worry to much, Rainbow. I'm sure it will leave eventually." Twilight came up to the cyan pegasus. "Until then, we can just stay here until it loses interest." Rainbow gave a heavy sigh, then looked at Tom. "This is also you're karma." She said coldly. Tom glared back at her and walked away. "Let's not make the atmosphere any more tense, now, darling. I'm sure that slobbering scoundrel will leave soon." Rarity comforted. And so, the Main 6, Spike, and Tom all waited for the dog to leave. The dog showed no interest in leaving, constantly prowling around the house's parameters. As their patience began to where thin, the sun was slowly starting to disappear behind the towering, city buildings. Day turned to dusk and dusk turned to night. The tired group were still stuck in the vacant house, moping around the pitch black rooms. Twilight looked through one of the windows and noticed the dog had gone to sleep right at the front entrance. "Didn't know "eventually" meant taking this long." Rainbow hissed. The purple alicorn gave a tired sigh. "Let's just try and get some sleep. Maybe it will be gone by tomorrow." She said. "Yeah, and when it hasn't, we'll spend the entire next day stuck in here." Rainbow pouted. "I understand your frustrations, darling, but Twilight makes a good point. It's awfully dark outside. The least we can do is try and get some rest." Rarity said. Tom seemed to share the same idea. He walked up to a box of miscellaneous objects. A sofa cushion lay against it. He took it and fluffed it out before laying it on the floor. He laid on top of it, trying to get comfortable. "Hey, don't hog that all to yourself." Rainbow climb over the pussycat and laid on top of him. "Pardon me, but a lady, such as myself, should not designate herself to sleeping on a dusty, old floor. Move over, please." Rarity pushed Rainbow to make room for herself. "Hey." Rainbow pushed back. Soon, the rest of the Main 7 were fighting over the cushion in attempt to get comfortable. "Your hooves are cold." Spike muttered. "Stop shovin' so hard." Applejack complained. "Hey, my wings." Twilight protested. "Umm, excuse me, please." Fluttershy said softly. Eventually, the group were able to get as comfortable as they could get. "Goodnight, everypony." Pinkie said. "Goodnight." The other sighs. Before they could properly go to sleep, one of the cushion springs burst from the fabric. It wobbled about, making the cushion even my uncomfortable. "Oh, come on." rainbow griped. "Ugh, I hate this place." Rarity said bitterly. Tom internally grumbled to himself and laid his head on the spring. "Goodnight, everypony." Twilight muttered. The others, at this point, were too exhausted to respond. Despite the undesirable conditions, the Main 6, Spike, and Tom all managed to fall asleep. A cacophony of snores echoed throughout the empty household. Hopefully, tomorrow might be a better day. To be continued
