//------------------------------// // TwilightxPinkie, Late Night Snuggling // Story: Our Hearts Collided // by Shipper_Overlord //------------------------------// It was in the middle of the beautiful Luna made, starry night. The stars twinkled ever so brightly as the moon shone down on Equestria, bathing it in a moonlight glow. The wind was a gentle whisper; the world was still in sleep. In Ponyville, the doors and houses were locked, mare and mare, stallion and mare, stallion and stallion, all slept. Snores, mumbles, and drooling escaped their mouths as they slept on. However, in the castle of Friendship, Twilight tossed and turned in her sleep. The door kept thumping and thumping, the alicorn grabbed her pillow and blocked her ears from the sound. Couldn’t anypony get any sleep?! THUMP! “Argh!” The purple alicorn tossed her blanket sheet and pillow in frustration, her hair wild and spiked in the frustration of her sleep lost. Throwing herself off her bed, by laziness, the alicorn flew down her spiral staircase and flew through the corridor, grumbling, “Can’t a pony get ANY sleep without danger?” The alicorn landed and trotted to the door, frowning; Twilight fired up her magic and creaked the door open-Only to be smothered in a pelt of pink, mumbling a yelp of surprise, Twilight Sparkle, princess of Friendship, fell on her back, to see a large pair of blue eyes, sparkling in fear. “P-Pinkie pie?” Twilight groaned, rubbing her eyes with a hoof, “Wh-what are you doing here in the middle of the night?” The pink pony leapt off and glanced around the castle, it was dark with shadows crawling around like a prowling panther, the only light was emitting from Twilight’s horn, “Well! I kinda went to sleep and I thought you wouldn't like being in this LARGE and LONELY Castle!” The pink mare smiled, “so the light bulb went off with a-“The hoof shot up and wrapped around a now visible weird glass object that glowed in bright yellow light. Twilight blinked, as she watched Pinkie shake it around “Ding, ding! And I went to you!” The pink mare finished, the bulb disappearing in a pool of smoke. The alicorn was then heaved up onto her hooves and frowned at the Element of Laughter, “Pinkie, I didn't even schedule a sleepover with you yet” She sighed, rubbing her mane down, “but seeing that you're here already-“ “Ooo! Thanks Twilight!” The mare bounced on the spot, her smile growing wider and wider. Only for her to screech as the gust of wind let the door slam shut behind them, by surprise Twilight's magical aura fro her horn flashed and disappeared, leaving only the eyes as light, then, Twilight yelped again that night, as she felt weight on her neck. Fearing for Pinkie; Twilight used her horn, lighting up the doorway in light purple-pink aura. And next thing Twilight knew, she was on her back-legs and in her fore hooves, was Pinkie Pie, holding on the alicorn’s neck for dear life. “It’s just a door Pinkie” The princess sighed, lifting her off with magical aura and planting her on her hooves. “I know that! I was just ummmm testing you on your logic-thingy!” Pinkie hesitated, “Logic-thingy?” Twilight frowned, “Yup!” replied Pinkie. The alicorn shook her head, and trotted towards the large crystal staircase, followed by a surprisingly silent Pinkie Pie. Twilight frowned; her friend was acting differently, was she ill? Or was she a Changeling? Nah-Changelings couldn't use Pinkie's rumour 'Fourth Wall Breaking' powers, Pinkie and Pinkie alone could only use that 'power'. But the nagging thoughts made Twilight confirm some experiments, maybe temperature, so when the two came into Twilight’s room, Twilight focused her magical aura around her friend, who frowned as her mouth held a thermometer, the temperature was at the normal degree; Twilight perked an eyebrow at her pink friend. Pinkie cocked her head at her friend, “Something wrong Twi-Twi?” She giggled, “Heh, Twi-Twi...” “Nothing, just thought you were acting, err, well, normal” Twilight sighed and rubbed her face with a hoof, thank Celestia Pinkie is Pinkie, the alicorn thought, “I'll set you up a spare bed” Pinkie was released by the aura and started bouncing on her hooves, inspecting the room; Twilight rolled her eyes and smiled at her friend’s antics. She trotted towards a large cupboard and heaved it open with her aura, “Wow this Castle has everything doesn't it Twi-Twi?” Pinkie asked, Twilight sighed, “Yeah it does, shame the Golden Oaks Library had to go though, I miss it” Pinkie pouted Twilight's heart dropped in sadness of the memory of the library house, all those brilliant books, the key of her friendship and new Princess-hood was in that lone house, “Don't worry Twilight! Golden Oaks will be remembered as the bravest library in the history of libraries!” Twilight face-hooved, “Pinkie there is no record of brave li-“She was cut off by an excited giggle by Pinkie as she took the spare duvet covers and pillows from her magical hold. “Thanks Twi for letting me stay with you for the night!” Pinkie smiled, setting down the duvet and pillows and rolling in the warm coverings, making her look like a cocoon, Twilight held her hoof to her mouth as she giggled at her friend. Twilight sighed softly and smiled, “Sure thing Pinkie now-“She let out a yawn, “I'm going to bed, see you tomorrow” the alicorn finished, as she snuggled inside her own bed. “Goodnight Twi!” “Goodnight Pinkie” OOOO Now Twilight of course slept with many ponies in her bed-not by the disgust means mind you! Her brother slept with her if she had nightmares, she slept with her mother and father when a little filly, and Spike slept with her if he chose to. Twilight, however, wasn't prepared to wake up with a different yet surprisingly working situation that night. So when something warm snuggled and grabbed Twilight, the alicorn froze; when the eyes opened the princess glanced to her shoulder was faced to face with a peacefully sleeping Pinkie Pie. Her poofy mane near the alicorn’s nose, slightly tickling it, thankfully, and the princess held the sneeze. The pink pony’s head was rested on her shoulder, smiling and mumbling in her sleep. Twilight blinked a few times, trying to confirm this was a dream-no it wasn't. Ohmygosh! Pinkie on my shoulder-what do I do, what do I do? Twilight thought frantically, as she tried slipping from the earth pony’s grip, but no avail, the earth ponies, as Twilight read from her earlier years; were immensely strong when needed to. “Pinkie!” Twilight whispered, the pink mare let out a half-mumble and half-giggle as she took Twilight in a strong hug, the alicorn gave a wheeze as the air was sucked from her, “Pinkie!” The mare whispered higher, this time higher due to panic of suffacation, the pink mare groggily opened her eyes “Pinkie-off...now” Twilight wheezed, as black spots filled her vision, the hooves released her and Twilight gasped for breath. “Oh my gosh! I'm so, so, so, soooooo sorry Twilight” Pinkie gasped, sitting her friend up and dashing down the stairs, seconds later, she popped up with a glass of water. Twilight drank the entire cup and held her chest, savouring life, before turning to the wide-eyed pink earth pony, “You nearly suffocated me...by hugging” Twilight mumbled slowly, trying to make herself believe she nearly died due to a hug, oh the humiliation. Pinkie held in a giggle, “It’s not funny!” Twilight waved a hoof, “You nearly killed an alicorn by hugging!” Pinkie couldn't hold it longer after that sentence, she fell onto her back beside the bed’s edge, laughing, "And a friend no less!" She added with a frown, trying to get some sense into Pinkie. "Wow Twi-Twi! Y-you m-must b-be like a teddy b-bear if you can g-get you're li-life snuggled out of you!" Pinkie laughed, throwing her arms and legs frantically as she tried clutching for breath. Twilight blushed, before shuffling the bed sheets away and getting out of bed to stand beside the laughing mare, “Why were you in my bed anyway?” Pinkie stilled, her time to blush was on, the pink mare’s face was light scarlet, “I-...” Twilight smirked, she had her friend RIGHT where she wanted her. Then realisation hit her in the face, it could've been a prank-did Rainbow set it up? The alicorn softly glared-don't ask me, Twilight was surprised herself on how soft she can glare-at her friend on the floor. “Don’t tell me, you wanted to prank me” Twilight huffed, rubbing her eyes with a hoof, “No!” Pinkie shot back to her hooves. “Then what?” Twilight narrowed her eyes, “I kinda...um...had a nightmare...” Came the reply. Twilight blinked, Pinkie Pie ducked her head in shame, “I used to see my mother and father comfort each other in a nightmare by cuddling in bed, Inkie and Blinkie did the same with me, s-so I thought...” Her hoof brushed against the crystal floor. “What was it about?” Twilight asked, sitting down, followed by a sighing Pinkie, “I had a dream of you all leaving me behind! Fluttershy, Rainbow, Rarity, Applejack, you, everypony! You all said you didn't need me any more” Isn't Pinkie the one to be laughing at the nightmares to make them go away? Twilight thought with surprise, it must be a horrible nightmare to scare her, she decided, shivering slightly. The alicorn watched in surprise as her friend's mane started to deflate and dull, Twilight thought quickly, she didn't need a sad Pinkie; that was just going to lead to a snappy and sad friend who thinks no one needs her. “We wouldn't do that!” Twilight shot back, eyes wide at the possibility of leaving Pinkie of all ponies behind, saying they didn't need her! “You're our friend Pinkie! We’ll never leave you!” “You sure?” Pinkie faced the alicorn, “Pinkie Promise?” Twilight smiled and began her gestures “Cross my heart, hope to fly-“ Pinkie smiled and followed her friend; both poked themselves in their right eyes, “Stick a cupcake in my eye” The two mares burst into giggled, the moonlight shining through the window, bathing the room in a soft moonlight glow. Twilight sighed, her friend that was normally all optimistic and happy, nearly broke down, friendship was indeed important, but if Pinkie had it gone? Celestia forbid it,Twilight thought with a shiver on her spine of the unknown. Twilight glanced at her large bed, a warm fuzzy feeling wrapped around the alicorn’s heart as she remembered Pinkie’s warm breath and fur as she snuggled against her, her head resting on her chest; she felt protected. “Twilight?” Pinkie’s voice broke the princess from her thoughts; she shook her head and faced her friend. “Yeah?” The pink pony flicked her eyes down, “Are we still friends, even though I nearly killed you by hugging?” Twilight giggled, “Sure Pinkie, forever” The pink pony brightened and hugged her friend gently. “Um Twilight?” Pinkie mumbled, “Yeah?” “Does this mean I still get to sleep with you tonight?” Twilight rolled her eyes and shook her head, smiling, “Sure, but only one night okay?” Pinkie smiled, she shot up and bounced on her hooves, “Okay!” The two ponies got into the large bed, Twilight smiled thoughtfully to herself as Pinkie’s head nuzzled against her chest; the two ponies wrapped themselves in a warm hug. The covers covered them up, but the both of them heard the hearts of each other thundering. The two mares closed their eyes and slept. OOOO Spike sipped at his hot chocolate, musing on the long well-remembered shenanigans of the first night of many where Twilight Sparkle and Pinkamena Diane Pie would snuggle and sleep together, Spike welled in pride thoughtfully, and he was getting better at sneaking around, especially when in a large castle you've got loads of room to hide in. So after that night when he decided to go to bed Spike was surprised, Pinkie Pie and Twilight! What a weird yet fitting combination! Spike found them together that next morning, snuggling into each other in bed. To be honest, the small dragon was happy for his big-sister. The alicorn and earth pony both seemed to be happy as well. So when the next night came, Pinkie Pie came again, and the next night, and the next night. This continued and now Spike is sitting on the Friendship Castle porch with hot chocolate; Pinkie’s gift, and musing on the relationship between Twilight Sparkle and Pinkamena Diane Pie. Winter Wrap Up was near, and the couple were excited, heck even Spike was excited, but in another way, he was excited at the thought of a auntie-Or would it be another sister? “Heh, another Bachelor Party will be on the way” Spike chuckled, before frowning thoughtfully, “Or would it be Bachelorette Party?” He stared at the cloudy sky above, snowflakes falling down, the dragon smiled. And far, far away, Discord frowned and stared at Celestia, who was casually sipping her tea, “You sneaky pony” The Ex-God of Chaos smirked. Celestia perked an eyebrow, “By what means of sneaky?” She smirked slyly, Discord stuck his tongue out, sipping at his glass drink.
