The Princess Escapes

Chapter 7


The rest of the "slumber party" was okay. And I was glad that the others were having fun, because I wasn't. The night had been pretty much ruined for me because the only reason why they all gathered here originally was so I could tell then what actually happened, and I did even though I didn't want to.
So now I was sitting by myself, while no one here noticed how I was feeling.
----------------------
Right now, I was busy fluffing up the pillows. Rainbow Dash and Applejack had finally got off the bed so they could play video games.
And it's probably a good thing too. If they had stayed on that bed any longer, I would have had a caniption fit. And if I did, it would clearly be they're fault.
After I got done doing that, I sat down on my sleeping bag. I know that I'm not a big fan of sleeping, much less sitting, on the floor. But I will do it if absolutely necessary.
Then I went to grab my hairbrush from the nightstand so I could give my hair it's nightly brushing, as I always do. I figured now would be the best time to do it while Applejack and Rainbow Dash are distracted, because I knew that if I waited until they weren't doing anything, Rainbow would have probably tried to steal my brush so I couldn't.
Apart from the video games, Sunset and Fluttershy were watching a movie, and Pinkie Pie was laying on the floor and swinging her feet around in the air. I could tell she was bored.
And then there was Twilight. She was sitting in the corner, not saying or doing anything.
And then my curiosity was sparked.
"Twilight," I said, as I scooted closer to her. "Is something wrong?"
She shook her head. "Nothing's wrong." She said.
"Hmmm... Are you sure?" I asked.
"Yes, I'm positive." She said.
I sighed. "Alright."
From the another part of the room, I could hear Rainbow Dash and Applejack arguing over the video game they were playing.
"You better not cheat again!" Applejack warned.
"Who said I cheat?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Nobody. But everytime we play ANY video game, ya always cheat." Applejack said.
Rainbow gasped. "Such accusations! I can't believe that you would accuse me of cheating!"
"It ain't wrong if it's true." Applejack spat back.
"Hey!" She said. "You can't say that you haven't cheated!"
"You two calm down." I said. "Fighting isn't worth it."
"I'll stop tellin' her she's cheatin' when she really stops. For good." Applejack said.
"Oh Applejack. Whoever put those ideas in your head?" Rainbow asked.
"You did! When you cheated!" Applejack shouted.
All this fighting was really getting on my nerves, as one could probably imagine.
"I'm not going to say it again to either of you. Quit it with the fighting or else I'll unplug the game. And I am not bluffing." I said.
"Fine." Rainbow Dash said. "I never knew you could be so... What's the word?"
"Stern?" I asked.
She was silent. Probably because she said I was so straightforward.
"Uh..." She said. "Yeah. Stern."
And they didn't fight anymore after that.
---------------------
I need sleep. That's probably the only thing that'll get me to thinking straight again.
That was the only thing on my mind right now. I had no idea how I was going to get to sleep tonight. There was so many thoughts running through my mind that I was surprised I didn't have a headache.
But if I did get one, I no doubt deserved it. Considering the worry I put my friends through, and all the guilt on top of that, I had a feeling that I was going to get one any minute.
And I admit that I considered going back on the porch, but it would probably be too cold for someone to sit out there by now.
And that was when my body finally gave into sleep.
