In the sky, the Pegasus were filled the sky with gray clouds. On the ground, ponies picked up twigs from the ground, plucked branches from trees, and pulled pieces of trees that fell to the ground. Sugarcoat plucked a branch from the tree with its rope. Sunny Flare watched the branch she picked up with her magic before placing it back on the tree. Sunny Flare realized that the branch was very large, “I alrealdy know!” Sunny Flare sculpted the leaves from the branch. “Perfect”
The branch was pulled by a rope and fell to the ground, “just take off the broken branches, Sunny Flare,” Sugarcoat said. “Don’t you care about anything but cute things?”
“Somepony should call. Look, you’re making a huge mess in the square,” Sunny Flare said looking at the mess.
“Yeah. But the storm will make a bigger mess if we don’t remove the loose branches that can fall on a pony’s head,” said Sugarcoat.
“I just can’t understand why the Pegasus had scheduled a storm tonight, and thus ruin what would be a glorious night.” the pegasus have already covered the whole sky with clouds.
“Think in a more practical way, okay? They inadvertently forgot…” Sugarcoat kicked the tree and leaves fell. “… From a little boy last week. Now you only need one torus to compensate.”
It started to wind, “oh no! My new flat iron is ruining!” exclaimed Sunny Flare.
“We should worry about getting the job done,” said Sugarcoat.
The rain started to increase. “It’s increasing a lot,” Sunny Flare began to run. “Help!”
Sugarcoat looked around and saw a bench, “over there. Keep holding until I finish things.”
Sunny Flare ran to the seat, but saw that under the seat was muddy, “oh no. No. No. No,” Sunny Flare looked back and saw Sugarcoat looking where Sunny Flare was looking.
“Now what?” asked Sugarcoat.
“I’d rather not muddy my hooves,” Sunny Flare replied, now looking under the seat with a raised hoof.
“But nothing is ever good, right? What is this? It’s always like that,” said Sugarcoat, already grumpy.
“Well, and how could getting mud in my hooves be useful for anything?” asked Sunny Flare.
“It would be useless if she bit you.”
“That doesn’t even make sense, dear”
“Yes,” confirmed Sugarcoat.
“It doesn’t,” Sunny Flare denied.
“Yes.”
“It doesn’t,” Sunny Flare denied. Her and Sugarcoat’s mane were very close.
“Yes,” confirmed Sugarcoat.
“It doesn’t,” Sunny Flare denied.
“Yes, endlessly.”
“It’s not infinite time and time again.”
Sugarcoat and Sunny Flare stayed and looked at each other angrily, “How about each going the opposite way before saying something that hurts?” Sunny Flare chose.
“I bet that I know that you’re going to say something like that first,” Sugarcoat bet.
“Look, I think you are going to say something bad first,” Sunny Flare bet.
“I’m not saying anything!” denied Sugarcoat.
“Me neither!” denied Sunny Flare.
“Then go to your side,” said Sugarcoat.
“After you,” Sunny Flare said, before facing each other and starting backward.
But hearing the thunder, they hugged in fear. “Maybe we should stay together until we find a shelter.”
“Yeah. Maybe we should,” Sugarcoat agreed. “And fast”
Sugarcoat was under the seat. “It’s all right here,” her hooves were muddy. “Well, maybe a little.”
“Oh, what a situation,” said Sunny Flare.
“Sugarcoat! Sunny Flare!”
Sunny Flare looked where the voice came from, “Sugarcoat! Sunny Flare!” Sugarcoat got out from under the seat and stood next to Sunny Flare.
“Sunset?” Sunny Flare and Sugarcoat asked in unison, looking at the Golden Oka’s Tree Library from afar. The door was open and Sunset Shimmer was calling for them.
“Come on in, girls. Quick,” said Sunset Shimmer.
Sugarcoat and Sunny Flare ran to Sunset Shimmer’s house. Sunset Shimmer entered the house. Sugarcoat stopped, “wait a minute. Is staying inside a tree a good idea in a thunder storm?”
“Sure. If you have a lightning rod protecting my home like me. Come on in,” said Sunset Shimmer.
“We are so grateful for the invitation, Sunset,” said Sunny Flare.
“Thankful for the hospitality,” Sugarcoat intended to enter, but Sunny Flare stopped her. Sunny Flare pointed at Sugarcoat’s dirty hooves.
“Be a polite guest and get clean first, how about?” Sunny Flare asked with a mischievous smile before she started walking.
“If I spend one more minute with this fresh of the Sunny Flare, I won’t be responsible for my actions,” Sugarcoat said before going outside.
“A little rain, right?” asked Sunset Shimmer. “The Pegasus exaggerated this time. I hope you have no problems when you return home.”
Sunny Flare approached Sunset Shimmer. “Maybe have problems yes.”
“If you want you can stay here. Garble is in Canterlot taking care of real business. I’m alone tonight, ”Sunset Shimmer was excited. “But you and Sugarcoat could sleep here! Let’s have a sleepover! I had done it once and I would like to do it with you both!”
Sunny Flare blinked before smiling. “Ah. Great. I believe I have another appointment for tonight that I had completely forgotten so far.” Sunny Flare laughed. “My Luna. How I am forgotten. I can’t stay here all night here… with Sugarcoat.”
“Don’t worry, Sugarcoat. I’m sure everything will work out, ”said Sunset Shimmer.
“Yeah. It will.” Sunny Flare looked out the window and saw Sugarcoar trying to clean the hooves with a hose, but it was failing. Sunny Flare rolled her eyes nervously.
After a few minutes, Sugarcoat managed to clean the hooves. But Sugarcoat stopped when she saw Sunny Flare and Sunset Shimmer with mud masks. Sunny Flare spent a little more on Sunset Shimmer.
“Jeez! What the straw is that?!” Sugarcoat shouted, not contentedly. “Wait just a moment there. You made me wash the mud off my hooves, but is it okay for you to have mud on your face?”
“Silly. This is a mud mask. It serves to moisturize and rejuvenate our cuts,” said Sunny Flare with a smile.
“Let’s do each other’s makeup!” shouted Sunset Shimmer excitedly.
Sugarcoar was surprised before smiling. “Wow. Just look at the time. I have to run home fast. I am very late. Much. Good Morning.”
Suddenly thunder fell. Sugarcoat shouted before turning back inside. “Or maybe I’ll stay here a little bit.”
“Hey! Sleepover!” Sunset Shimmer clapped her hooves excitedly.
Sunny Flare put the mud mask on Sugarcoat’s face and then placed a piece of lemon in each eye of the land pony. “What is this thing in the eye?”
“It’s to diminish dark circles, darling. Wow,” answered Sunny Flare.
“Look, that’s bullshit,” Sugarcoat caught the two pieces of cucumber in her eyes with her tongue before taking it to her mouth and swallowing. “But to eat is good.”
“Isn’t that awesome? I’ll make this sleepover as fun as possible.” Sunset Shimmer clapped her hooves.
“Did you hear that, Sugarcoat? You don’t want to end up doing something that ruins the dear Sunset’s sleepover. Do you want?”
“Of course not. And neither do you. I bet.”
“Then we have a deal.”
“Count on me.” Sugarcoat spat on her hoove and offered it to Sunny Flare.
“Disgusting. You know, if you have a mess everything will be ruined.”
“You know, if you have freshness you will drive me crazy.”
“Fortunately, I can get along well with any pony no matter how hard he is!”
“Oh yes? Because I am the best understood you have ever known.”
Sunny Flare approached Sugarcoat. “That word doesn’t even exist.”
Sunset Shimmer hugged Sugarcoat and Sunny Flare. “This is going to be the best sleepover ever!”
“Are it going?” Sunny Flare and Sugarcoat asked in unison before looking at each other unhappy.
The rain was still very heavy and it was already daytime. In the Golden Oka’s Tree Library, the three mares stood, with manes attached.
“So, darling? Do you get along well here, Sugarcoat?” asked Sunny Flare.
“It’s okay, Sunny Flare…” Sugarcoat replied, not happy.
“That’s very cool!” shouted Sunset Shimmer excitedly before using her magic to let her mane loose. She did the same with Sugarcoat and Sunny Flare.
“Now, let’s tell horror stories. Who starts?” said Sunset Shimmer.
“Me! I wanted to tell the creepy story of the fru-fru ghost that drove all the ponies crazy with useless frills.” Sugarcoat made a scary move with her hooves. “I’m sure you know this story.”
“Never heard of it. But there’s a much better one. It’s the scary story of the insensitive white ghost that pissed off any pony within a hundred kilometers!” Sunny Flare motioned with hooves in a frightening way.
“This isn’t a real story. You made it up,” said Sugarcoat.
“It’s a horror story, Sugarcoat. They are all invented,” said Sunny Flare.
Suddenly there was thunder and the lights went out. Sugarcoat and Sunny Flare shouted in alarm.
“I have one,” Sunset Shimmer had a lamp next to her friends. “This story is known as the Headless Horse Legend.”
Thunder fell. “It was a dark and stormy day, just like this one. And three ponies were having a sleepover… just like this one.”
Lightning struck. Sunny Flare and Sugarcoat were afraid of the story. “And just when the last pony thought it was saved… there it was… right behind her… a few inches… was… the Headless Horseman.”
Thunder fell and Sunset Shimmer put a blanket over her. Sunny Flare and Sugarcoat hugged in fear. Sunset Shimmer took the blanket off her with her hooves. Sunny Flare and Sugarcoat realized they were holding each other, so they left the hug.
“So, let’s eat now?” asked Sunset Shimmer.
Sugarcoat stood by the fire roasting Marshmallows while Sunny Flare taught how to make a new type of cookie. “Then put the Marshmallow on top of the chocolate making sure it is well centered and that is very important. So be careful and put cookie on top and… ready!”
Sunset Shimmer watched with a smile while Sugarcoat didn’t look so happy.
“Yeah. And then you eat.” Sugarcoat took the cookie and began to eat. Sunny Flare wasn’t happy.
When Sugarcoat finished chewing, she swallowed. “You could at least apologize, Sugarcoat.”
“Hey! I would do it but you interrupted me,” Sunny Flare looked to the side. “Pardon.”
“The next thing we’ll do is truth or dare,” said Sunset Shimmer.
“I challenge Sugarcoat to do something carefully and manners for a change.” Sunny Flare looked at Sugarcoat.
“Oh yes? Because I challenge Sunny Flare to do the opposite. Stop obsessing over every little silly detail for a change.” Sugarcoat looked at Sunny Flare.
“I think the truth to be told is that some ponies should pay more attention to detail, darling.” Sunset Shimmer watched the fight scene.
“And I think the truth to be told is that some ponies should stop the freshness and things get done,” said Sugarcoat.
Sunset Shimmer stepped into the fray to separate them. “Look, girls. The game isn’t quite like that. You must answer by telling the truth to any question or accepting a challenge that the other person speaks.”
“I dare you to go outside,” said Sugarcoat, “and ruin your beautiful hairstyle again!”
Sunny Flare was surprised. “You have to do it, Sunny Flare. It’s the rules.”
“Okay!” Sunny Flare walked to the door before returning with her wet mane. Sugarcoat was holding back a laugh with a hoof in her mouth.
Sunny Flare approached Sugarcoat. “Very well. I challenge Sugarcoat to wear a glittery fru-fru dress with lots of bows!”
Sugarcoat blew out a breath before putting on a light pink dress with a princess hat and hoof-yellow bows. She wasn’t happy at all, unlike Sunny Flare. “Are you happy?”
“Quite, darling,” Sunny Flare replied.
Sunset Shimmer raised a hoof. “Can it be my turn now?”
“I challenge you to enter the next rodeo in the city!”
“And I dare you to not enter the next rodeo in town!”
“I dare you to not comb your hair a hundred times before bed!”
“And I dare you to comb at least once!”
“I think we better skip the challenge and go to the next. Let’s play pillow fight,” said Sunset Shimmer.
“Oh no, please. I don’t want to participate in something so rude. Not now, dear.” A pillow was thrown in Sunny Flare’s face. Sunny Flare wasn’t happy at all. “This ... already ... gave!”
Sunny Flare took the pillow in her mouth before tossing it in Sugarcoat’s face. Sugarcoat began to throw the pillows with the hooves. Sunny Flare returned the pillows with a hoof. Sugarcoat twirled a pillow with its rope before throwing it at Sunny Flare. Sunny Flare picked up both pillows with her magic before throwing them back.
“Girls, can I team up with one of you?” asked Sunset Shimmer. But Sunset Shimmer received a pillow in her face and one in the back of her neck. Sunset Shimmer fell to the floor. Sunset Shimmer rolled her eyes. “Girls, I think we’d better throw the pillows a little lighter.”
Sugarcoat dodged the pillows as he threw one more. “I do if she does!”
Sunny Flare dodged a pillow. “She started it!”
Sunset Shimmer was on a pile of pillows. When leaving, in the mouth of Sunset Shimmer had a pity. She spat from her mouth. “Maybe we better stop and go to sleep.”
While Sunset Shimmer slept in her bed, Sunny Flare and Sugarcoat slept in what appeared to be a double bed. Sunset Shimmer’s blanket was red with yellow suns and yellow with red suns. Sunny Flare and Sugarcoat’s bed covers were yellow.
“Leaves your dirty hooves off the bed,” whispered Sunny Flare.
“They’re not dirty,” Sugarcoat whispered.
Sunny Flare looked at Sugarcoat. “They are. I bet there’s still mud.”
Sugarcoat went to Sunny Flare. “There isn’t. Look,” Sugarcoat showed the hull.
Sunny Flare took the blanket for herself. “Who’s being insensitive now?” Sugarcoat took the blanket for her.
Sunny Flare got up. “Now I have to rebuild the bed so the sheet is tidy.” Sunny Flare took the blanket from her mouth. Sugarcoat fell to the floor.
Sunny Flare took the blanket and fixed it. Sugarcoat was about to remove the blanket to cover herself, but Sunny Flare stopped it. “Ah-ah. You will mess up. It should lie down like this.”
Sunny Flare sat on the bed, Before starting to dictate carefully so that the blanket wouldn’t move out of place. When she was done, she breathed a sigh of relief.
“OK. Go wait. Geronimo!” Sugarcoat jumped on the bed, resulting in the blanket going to her and Sunny Flare going away from the bed and falling to the floor.
Sunny Flare rose from the floor. “You did it on purpose.”
“Oh yeah?” asked Sugarcoat.
“Get up for me to clean up again,” said Sunny Flare.
“I’m not listening to you. I’m sleeping.” Sugarcoat pretended to snore.
Sunny Flare took the blanket from the bed. Sugarcoat opened her eyes. Sugarcoat wasn’t happy. “I wasn’t even moving.”
“You should if you wanted the sheet,” Sunny Flare said in a muffled voice because the blanket was in her mouth, but Sugarcoat took it off.
Sugarcoat and Sunny Flare began to pull the scarf aside as if it were tug of war.
“Give it back,” said Sugarcoat.
“I won’t return,” said Sunny Flare.
“Yes it will.”
“I will not go.”
“Yes.”
“I will not go.”
“No.”
“Yes.”
“I will not go.”
“Yes.”
Sunset Shimmer interrupted the fight. “Enough!”
Sunny Flare and Sugarcoat stopped what they were doing.
“Sleepover parties have to be all having fun. And how can you have fun if you two can’t stop fighting?” said Sunset Shimmer.
Sugarcoat dropped the blanket from his mouth. “Sorry, but I did everything to make it work.”
Sunny Flare dropped the blanket. “No. I did everything to make it work, Sugarcoat.”
“No. It was me!” shouted Sugarcoat
“No. It was me!” shouted Sunny Flare.
“Me!”
“Me!”
“But know that I’ll forgive you both,” Sunny Flare and Sugarcoat looked at Sunset Shimmer. “I know you two are two different types of ponies and that each of you has your own tastes and preferences. But can this get any worse at this sleepover besides this fight?”
Suddenly, lightning struck near a tree that was near Golden Oka’s Tree Library.
Sunset Shimmer put the blanket in her mouth. “Sorry for asking.”
Sunset Shimmer, Sunny Flare, and Sugarcoat went to the window and saw a piece of the tree branch slowly swaying.
“Did you see? That’s why we were pulling the loose branches, SunnyFlare,” said Sugarcoat.
Sunny Flare looked sadly and guiltily. “It’s not freshness.”
“But I ...” Sunny Flare tried to speak but was interrupted by Sugarcoat.
“I will in this. No time to waste.” Sugarcoat opened the window with a hoof, and began to swing her rope.
Sunny Flare went to Sugarcoat to stop her. “Wait. Don’t do it!”
“No waiting,” Sugarcoat tossed the rope to the loose branch. “Girl, this is what I call hoove dough.”
Sugarcoat pulled the rope forward. The branch fell right over the room. Sugarcoat was holding the rope in his mouth, it was on the second floor of the Golden Oka’s Tree Library.
Sunny Flare was holding a book on her head. “I was trying to say that it would go here.”
Sugarcoat climbed into the room with the tree. “Yeah. But you haven’t tried hard enough.”
Sunset Shimmer stepped off the leaves under it. She rolled her eyes.
“I’m sorry, Sunset,” said Sugarcoat.
“It’s alright Sugarcoat. But now we need to get this branch out of my room.” Sunset Shimmer stepped off the branch and she and Sugarcoat went to Sunny Flare, who was putting the books back on the shelf.
“But what are you doing there?” Sugarcoat asked, not at all pleased.
Sunny Flare looked at Sugarcoat and Sunset Shimmer. “I’m cleaning up the mess somepony made! And who was it? Oh yes. Was you!”
Sunset Shimmer got in the middle of the fight. “Girls, please stop fighting. We need to focus on getting that branch out.” the unicorn looked at Sugarcoat. “Sugarcoat, try to remove the branch by using the hooves.”
Sugarcoat nodded her head. First she tried on the ground and then on the branch. Sunset Shimmer saw that Sunny Flare was still putting the books back on the shelf. “Sunny, you go to the window to close it when Sugarcoat has removed the branch, and I will shrink the branch.”
“But I’ll get wet and dirty, darling,” said Sunny Flare.
Sugarcoat returned to where Sunny Flare and Sunset Shimmer were. “Grandma’s pants. Sunny Flare, no frills and help!”
“But…”
“Let it go and help me!” A silence occurred. “I’m sorry I didn’t hear you about when you were going to talk about the branch. Its crisp freshness would have saved us from this mess, but now you need to stop being so fresh and thorough and do what Sunset Shimmer is saying with this thing here that is what matters.” A silence occurred again. “Please.”
“But I don’t want to get dirty, darling,” said Sunny Flare.
“It will… but what… Sunny Flare, getting dirty is what happens after work. But we have to get over it because Sunset Shimmer and I can’t do it all on our own. We need your help.”
Sunny flare think before taking the book out of your head. “All right. Let’s go.” Sunny Flare, Sugarcoat, and Sunset Shimmer reached the branch.
Sunset Shimmer used her magic and made the size of the branch shrink. Sugarcoat saw a piece of wood and was about to kick it, but stopped when she saw Sunny Flare’s unhappy expression. Sugarcoat took the piece of wood with her mouth before throwing it outside. Sunny Flare, smiling, closed the window with her magic.
Sunny Flare looked at herself and saw that although she hadn’t touched the branch, she was dirty. “I’m horrible.”
Sugarcoat thought before he had an idea and put a lemon in both Sunny Flare’s eyes. “Better?”
“Thank you.” Sunny Flare tried to find Sugarcoat before they hugged.
Sunny Flare and Sunset Shimmer had their manes tied while Sugarcoat was with the normal mane. They were laughing.
“Is it ... bigger than a barn?” Sugarcoat asked.
Sunset Shimmer laughed. “No.”
“So it’s smaller than a cell?” Sunny Flare asked.
Sunset Shimmer laughed. “No. And you only have three more questions. ”
“We’ll never guess what you thought. It can be anything,” said Sugarcoat. Sunny Flare looked at Sugarcoat before looking back at Sunset Shimmer.
“And it’s not getting warm?” asked Sunny Flare.
“No. And that counted as a question. So, just two more,” said Sunset Shimmer.
“Is it a… six-legged pony with the mane of pellets that stars in the eyes?” asked Sugarcoat.
“Are it traveling around the world to store your shiny eggs?” Sugarcoat and Sunny Flare made a cute face.
“That’s it,” said Sunset Shimmer.
“Really?” Sugarcoat and Sunny Flare asked in unison.
“It’s not,” Sunset Shimmer pointed to a telescope. “Is that. But it’s so good to see you two getting along well again that I wanted to let you win together.”
Sunny Flare and Sugarcoat laughed. “Saw? We could have fun like that from the beginning.”
“If only one pony wasn’t so fresh,” Sugarcoat said, smiling.
“Maybe she wouldn’t be like that if the other wasn’t so sloppy,” said Sunny Flare.
“But…” Sunny Flare and Sugarcoat looked at each other unhappy before smiling.
“Sorry for being a rock in the horseshoe,” said Sugarcoat.
“No. I know it was a lot worse,” said Sunny Flare.
“I know you think that way. But it’s me who should apologize.”
“Ah. But I need more than you.”
“No, you need not.”
“Yes, I do.”
“You don’t need.”
“Yes, I do.”
“You don’t have to.” Sugarcoat smiled.
“Yes, i do.” Sunny Flare smiled before she and Sugarcoat laughed.
Sunset Shimmer came in, she was no longer in a hurry. “I declare this sleepover a success!”
“Now take two steps to the left, dear.” Sugarcoat had lemons in her eyes. In front of her, were several book and two pillows.
“And what’s yours ...?” Sugarcoat fell on the books. On leaving, there was a pillow in her head. “This mess is your fault, not mine.”
Sugarcoat and Sunny Flare started to laugh. Sunset Shimmer was writing a letter to Luna.
“Dear Princess Luna, it is hard to believe how two ponies so different with so little in common can understand each other. But finding that accepting the differences of the other can surprise or find a way to be friends after all.”
Sunset Shimmer looked at Sunny Flare and Sugarcoat. “So?”
Sugarcoat and Sunny Flare looked at Sunset Shimmer. “Who’s ready for another sleepover tomorrow?”
Sugarcoat and Sunny Flare looked at each other with smiles before throwing two pillows at Sunset Shimmer. “How about next Thursday? Oh. So the other Saturday? Or next month?”
The three mares began to laugh. The clouds came out, revealing the full moon.
