Sun's Hearth's Warming Eve Journey

by Pinkie Pie Sweets


Chapter 1: Study Sleepover

On a cold wintery day, Canterlot City has snow on the ground and falling from the sky. However, there's been reports about a snow storm coming very soon during the holidays. At lunchtime, Sun and her friends are having hot lunches being served at the cafeteria. They are talking about the holidays, including the storm that will be arriving some time after they get out of school.

Sonata looks at the snow and says, "Wow, it sure is getting cold lately, and the snow keeps falling."

"Well, with that storm coming it wouldn't be much a surprise," Aria bluntly replies.

"She's right about that, and finals is around the corner," Rarity adds.

Rainbow groans with annoyance and says, "Don't remind me."

"Why?" Rarity asks looking confused.

"Because I'm still not doing too good with my classes," Rainbow answers and flopping her head on the table.

Sun turns to Rainbow and says, "It's okay, remember I've been tutoring you."

"Yeah," Rainbow replies.

The girls remember that finals is coming up, and because some of the finals are outside, there are going to be inside because of the snow and the upcoming storm.

Then Rainbow Dash says, "And let's not forget about the snowstorm that will be coming up for the holidays.

"Yeah. It's kind of nerve racking right girls," Applejack says.

The girls agree about the storm coming up very soon, but the only one that isn't answering, is Sun. Sun is feeling a bit uncomfortable about the storm coming up, and she doesn't fully know why.

Adagio notice this and asks, "Sun, are you feeling okay?"

"I'm fine, just the thought of the storm is making me very nervous," Sun answers feeling scared, and then yawn,

Then Rarity asks, "Did you get enough sleep last night?"

"No, I had a bad dream last night, and not fully remember what it is. Every time I tried to go back to sleep I end up getting the same dream," Sun explains.

The girls start to think about this and wonder about Sun's dream. Usually the dreams she gets are something from her past, but since she has her memories back, it shouldn't be a problem.

Applejack has a suspicion and suggests, "Maybe it's a memory that is deep inside your conscious."

"How's that?"Sonata asks.

Adagio turns to Sonata and explains, "What Applejack means is that Sun must have a memory that's been long forgotten, even though she got her memories back. The snowstorm must be something that is triggering it. The question is what that memory is."

"Maybe there is something that will help Sun relax, and we can study for our finals," Rarity replies.

The girls start to think of an idea on how they can solves these problem. Sun is having trouble sleeping, and they all have finals the next day.

Just then Adagio has an idea, and says, "I think I have an idea."

"What's what?" Rarity asks.

"Since finals starts tomorrow, maybe we can have a few days sleepover and do a study group at the same time, and maybe it can help get whatever it is on Sun's mind out of her head," Adagio suggests.

The group of friends on the table start to think about this, and believes that is a good idea.

"That sounds like a wonderful idea," Fluttershy replies with a smile.

"And it can help Sun relax," Aria says.

"But where should we do it at?" Sun asks.

"How about my house first?" Pinkie suggests.

"Good idea," Rainbow replies agreeing to the idea.

Then Pinkie says, "And I can order Pizza, and soda, and cinnamon buns for us too."

Pinkie then makes a hungry look on her face, drooling a bit as she sighs and says, "Cinnamon buns."

The girls start to laugh as she admires the taste of cinnamon buns. She really likes sweet things.

As they all laugh, Sun says, "Oh, Pinkie."

The girls continue to laugh about the Pinkie sweet loving habit. After the bell ring, the girls go off to class, and agree to go do their special study group/sleepover for finals week. First they need to go get their things they need for the finals, and the go to their homes to get things for their special study group which is counting as a sleep over.

Later that day, all of the nine girls girls are at Pinkie's bedroom wearing their pajamas. The girls are playing video games, braiding each others hair, and studying for their finals. They are having a great time.

"It sure is a good idea to do a study group for finals week," Sun replies fixing Adagio's hair.

"Thanks, I thought it might be a good idea. Plus, we get to have some time to be together while we add it," Adagio says, as she paints Rarity's nails.

Rarity giggles and says, "Good point."

"And it sure is nice to have some friendly spa treatment as well," Adagio says.

"I agree," Sonata says as she brushes Rarity's hair.

Applejack, Aria, and Rainbow Dash are playing a video game. The game maybe hard, but it's very exciting. Just then Aria wins the game and is boasting about it.

Rainbow shockley says, "Hey, I… I was about to beat you two."

"Not quite," Aria remarks.

"Well Rainbow, it looks like you got some competition in this video game," Applejack says with a smirk on her face.

The turn towards the door when they hear Pinkie's mother calls, "Pinkie, the pizza's here!"

"Coming mom!" Pinkie calls out.

With that, the girls leave the room to get some food to eat, and are having so much fun that they are hungry. After they finish eating they go back to the room to continue with their activities. Sun and most of the girls are studying for their finals, while Rarity and Adagio are giving Applejack a spa treatment, and it involves making her wear nail polish.

"So why are you making me wear these again?" Applejack asks looking unsure.

"Because a manicure and pedicure are good ways to relax you," Rarity answers with a smile on her face.

Applejack rolls her eyes as she says, "Yeah, I told you not to make me wear these."

"Sorry Applejack, you lost the coin toss to Rarity, so you're getting a makeover, whether you like it or not," Adagio says with a smirk on her face.

Just then, Applejack hear her phone ringing. She picks up her phone with her free hand, and answers the call.

"Hello," Applejack says.

She hears her little sister, Apple Bloom asking, "Hi Applejack, what you doing?"

"Nothing much, just having a study group and hanging out with friends,"Applejack replies.

Sun giggles a bit and says through the phone, "Yeah, Rarity actually go Applejack to wear nail polish after losing a coin toss."

"Hey!" Applejack exclaims with a shock.

Apple Bloom start giggling, as she says."That's kind of funny, either way I'm just the messenger. Granny Smith wanted me to call and see if you're alright."

"I'm fine, and you should be studying for your finals too, they start tomorrow," Applejack answers.

"Yeah, yeah, good night and see you at school tomorrow, piggy wiggy," Applejack answers, she then laughs after that.

Hearing that name, Applejack falls off the bed as she reacts, "Woah!"

Some of the girls start to laugh when Applejack falls from the bed, and falls off the bed.

Aria looks at Applejack with a questionably look and asks, "Piggy wiggy?"

"What's that?" Rainbow asks.

Applejack knows there is no way for her to get out of this.

Applejack sit on the bead as she explains, "Just a nickname my granny gave me. When I was a baby I used to play in the mud with the pigs while she's feeling them. Ever Since then she always called me piggy wiggy, but I made sure she doesn't go public with it."

Hearing the story, the girls start to giggle a bit. Applejack looks a bit confused to hear her friends laughing after hearing the name.

"What are y'all giggling about?" Applejack looking confused.

Sonata manages to stop laughing and says, "Sorry, that has to be the cutest name I ever heard."

"Try silly for my opinion," Aria says with a smirk on her face.

"I think the name sounds sweet," Fluttershy adds.

"Yeah, it reminds me of a nickname my mom called me, which is sunshine," Sun adds.

Applejack starts to blush and says, "It's embarrassing that what it is."

"Don't worry, your secret is safe with us," Sun says with reassurance.

"Promise?" Applejack asks.

"Promise," Sun and the girls answer with a smile.

Later that night, everyone in the room are fast asleep. As they sleep, the snow continues to fall, and harsh wind are blowing at the window. Sun however is not having a pleasant sleep, she keep turning back and forth. Whatever dream Sun is having it's scaring her very bad, and she wakes up in a shock, and practically sweating. Sun feels like this has happen before, but a very long time ago. This is one of the memories she has trouble remembering. With that, she grabs her journal about her nightmare, and then write to Twilight about her trouble and the sleepover with her friends. After writing, unable to sleep, she decided to just continue studying down stairs, and try her best to get back to sleep.
