The centuries-long rule of Celestia and Luna has come to an end. Now, it is Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship, who watches over the ponies of Equestria. To stand as leader of a whole nation is a daunting thing, but the young alicorn is more than ready. With her closest friends by her side, she's ready to face this great challenge, one day at a time.

Twilight has a secret. Specifically, she's been studying something in secret for the past couple of months, and won't tell anypony what it is that she's doing.

Unfortunately for her, Starlight is curious.

Given how well her first sleepover had gone, Twilight decides to try it again, this time with all of her friends. Things go well and they're all having fun, but eventually the discussions turn to the subject of romance. Before long, each friend has a story to tell.

It's movie night at the Castle of Friendship, and James has brought along one of his favorite comedy movies along. Featuring copious amounts of wordplay, visual gags, suicidal passengers, and drinking problems, Airplane! is hailed as one of the greatest comedy films of all time on Earth, but will that standard of comedy carry over onto Equus? James certainly hopes so.

Unfortunately, while Spike is easily entertained, James discovers that Twilight is a bit of a comedy snob. What follows is overanalysis, overthinking, and the cardinal sin of talking during a movie. How will they all make it through the night? Will Twilight find legitimate entertainment at even one joke? Will Ted Stryker land the plane safely? Will Leslie Nielsen's career ever resurge? Surely Twilight will at least come to understand that Jive isn't an actual language, right?

Probably not.

This story is a submission to the writing group Movie Night which is a collaborative effort that looks to engage as many people, be they writers or not, to try their hand at writing about their favorite ponies and movies! Go give it a look and add your story to the club!

The gang takes some time to relax when Rarity starts a conversation about a seemingly inappropriate comic series.

Three ponies sit together in a room. Two are innocent. Each of the two innocents have two possible suspects, including one another. The third must pretend to be in the same predicament. How can the two innocents recognize each other as such and catch the true culprit? Conversely, how may the guilty pony redirect suspicion from herself?
