Applejack POV

" Hey, Twilight! It's your turn! Truth or Dare?" cried Sunset Shimmer.

Twilight Sparkle replied," Truth!"

" Ooh! Ooh! I've got a good one!" squealed Pinkie Pie, the forever energetic one," Are you in love with Timber Spruce?"

Twilight blushed a bright crimson. She looked away.

"Um...I...I do love him." she whispered softly, as if she was imitating Fluttershy.

Rarity gushed," Ah-dorable!"

" I didn't mean that...It's just that he's super smart, kind, and he has a sense of humor..." said Twilight dreamily, her mind wandering off elsewhere.

We were at Pinkie's house this particular Saturday evening, having a sleepover, and we were playing 'Truth or Dare'.

I clapped my hands loudly.

I cried," Twilight! Earth to Twilight!"

" Oh! Sorry, I said too much." said Twilight, returning to her senses.

Rainbow Dash called," Okay! Who's next?"

She spun the empty plastic soda bottle in the middle of the circle we formed.

The bottle spun for a moment, then came to a halt, the point pointing at Fluttershy.

" Oh, Fluttershy! Truth or Dare?" sang Twilight.

Fluttershy shrank back. She really hates games of this sort.

" Um...truth." said Fluttershy softly.

Rarity asked," Let me do it this time! What is your greatest fear?"

We all knew that Fluttershy was scared of practically everything, from her own shadow to the slamming of doors.

" Scared of someone suddenly barging in without warning and frightening me to death." she said with certain.

Sunset looked confused.

She started to say," But we always barge in on each other all the time. Why would you..."

She was interrupted by the doorbell ringing.

" Pizza! Woo-hoo!" exclaimed Pinkie, then she and the others charged out the room.

Only I stayed behind. The bottle from our game was still lying on the floor, neglected.

I kicked it and it went spinning, making discordant sounds.

Suddenly, a thought came into my head.

Rainbow Dash loves a dare, right?

Well, I'm going to give her one she'll never forget for the rest of my life.

I just need to find Rarity...
