After a short and pleasant flight (or a quick cloud-walking spell), you stand with Rainbow Dash on a large, pristine white cloud which is slowly floating over the lake on the outskirts of Ponyville.
Rainbow Dash leaps lazily backward, falling into the cloud and sending small wisps and tufts of white spiraling into the air around her. You follow her lead, albeit less aggressively, sitting down first before collapsing backward.
Glancing over, you notice that Rainbow Dash has relaxed into a practiced position, her front hooves tucked behind her head and one hind leg resting on the other. She looks over at you and cocks an eyebrow.
“What?”
“Nothing,” you say, sticking your tongue out slightly in concentration as you try to match her position. “Just following your lead.”
“Great, now be quiet,” she says, yawning. “I’m trying to sleep.”
You close your eyes. With one of your senses dulled, it’s easier now to feel the softness of the cloud under you, as well as the refreshing coolness of the air and the slight breeze.
Soon, you are asleep. In the throes of almost-unconsciousness, your body is relaxed into a blissful, warm state. It feels so much better than what sleep normally feels like- it’s like ecstasy coursing through your body.
You feel movement. It is gentle at first, and you are inclined to brush it off. But, soon it becomes stronger and is accompanied by strange sounds, almost like little sighs.
Moaning in annoyance, you open your eyes to find a blue hoof lying across your chest. Startled, you blink several times and slowly turn your head to the right, revealing Rainbow Dash’s form curled up against yours. You can even feel her other hoof resting against your cutie mark!
You gasp, which seems to stir Rainbow Dash from her slumber. After rubbing her eyes with a hoof, she opens them to stare directly into yours. She looks surprised as well.
“Ohmygosh!” she cries, darting away from you. “H-how did- I-I didn’t mean to- I mean, arghh!”
It seems that Rainbow Dash rolled over in her sleep and scooted several inches over to cuddle you, without knowing it! How are you going to deal with the situation?
