Truth or Dare: The Most Anxious Slumber Party Ever

by TheStallionofDarkCavalry


Chapter 5: The Party

As the three of you approach Pinkie's doorstep, you ring Pinkie's house doorbell, and then a literal millisecond comes the door swinging open with a hyperactive Pinkie Pie with frosted pink cupcakes in her hand and her mouth smothered with pink frosting.

"HI, ANON!!! HI, SUNSET!!! HI, TWILIGHT!!!" Pinkie exclaimed while having a serious sugar rush.

"Hi, Pinkie." Said the three of you nervously as you all are a little freaked out by Pinkie's hyperactivity.

"What took the three of you so long?!" Pinkie asked while still hyper but mellowing out a bit. "We couldn't start the party yet without you three, and I tried to wait patiently but there were so many cupcakes staring at me waiting for me to be eaten that I..."

"Pinkie, it's alright." Sunset says as she puts her hand over Pinkie's mouth, unintentionally getting pink frosting and saliva on her hand. She looks at her hand in disgust. "Ew. I think I better wash my hands before I touch any of the food."

You and Twilight chuckle as Sunset accidentally got her hand dirty from touching Pinkie. The three of you then look back at Pinkie.

"Come on in, guys!" Pinkie says excitedly as she steps aside to let you three enter her house. "Everyone else is in the living room! Go on and join them!"

As the three of you enter Pinkie's house with Pinkie in front of you, you hear a noise coming from the hallway on the right. You stepped closer to identify the noise, and it sounded like someone was throwing up.

"Wow. Rainbow Dash has been in the bathroom ever since she came in." Pinkie said while raising a suspicious eyebrow. She turns to you. "Is she alright, Anon? You're the last one who saw her besides me and Fluttershy."

You thought about keeping this in confidence since it's pretty embarrassing for Rainbow Dash. But then again, you did recall that Rainbow Dash put the others in situations that are just as embarrassing as hers, and since it's just gonna be your friends knowing this and nobody else then it's no big deal. So you decided to tell her.

"Rainbow Dash is throwing up because she was disgusted by Zephyr Breeze flirting with her when he saw her shaking her butt." You said with an amused smile.

Pinkie became wide-eyed when you said this, and so did Sunset and Twilight. And then the three of them started to snicker, and then a couple seconds later they all started laughing. The three of them were laughing pretty hard that you hoped that Rainbow Dash wouldn't hear you guys.

"I can't believe I wasn't there to see that!" Sunset laughs while pressing her arms against her belly in laughter.

"Yeah, that would have made this party so worth it even without the food and games!" Twilight replies while still laughing hard.

"And that's definitely saying a lot, Twilight! Because the food and games always makes my parties worth it!" Pinkie says as she unsurprisingly laughs the most between the three of them with tears rolling down her eyes.

Sunset and Twilight immediately stop laughing and then look at each other. Sunset then looks at the kitchen and then tilts her head to it while still looking at Twilight. Twilight then nods and the two of them both get up to head into the kitchen.

"Since Rainbow Dash is still in the bathroom, I'll go wash my hands in the kitchen." Sunset says to Pinkie.

"Me, too." Twilight says as she tags along with Sunset.

"Okay, but don't too long!" Pinkie giggles to the both of them. She then looks at you and then grabs you by your hand. "Come on, Anon! The others are waiting!"

Pinkie drags you into the living room where you see tons of tables everywhere around the couch that have tons of different foods on them. That scroll Pinkie gave you to read certainly wasn't lying. Everything on that list that you got a quick glance was all on those tables. As you got a quick look around at the food, you looked at the couch to notice that Fluttershy was sitting on one of them while Applejack and Rarity were sitting on the other one. As you noticed the three of them, they all looked at you with a friendly smile as you stepped into the living room to greet them.

"Hey, girls." You said while waving them.

"Howdy, Anon." Applejack says while tipping her hat.

"Hello, darling." Rarity says to you.

"Hi." Fluttershy says to you as you greet her twice.

After you greet them, Pinkie goes to sit down on the same couch Fluttershy is sitting on. Rarity and Applejack both scoot apart and then they both pat the middle spot next to them.

"Come on. Sit down next to us." Rarity says to you.

"Okay." You say as you sit down between them. "Sorry for keeping you all waiting. I got distracted by that wonderful sunset outside."

"Yeah, that sunset was absolutely gorgeous." Rarity agreed. "It actually gave some remarkable inspiration for the color scheme of my next line of dresses. They'll have a color pattern of both the sunset and the sky to recapture that stunning beautiful view."

"Ah always like it when those kinds of sunsets are shinin' down at me after ah do my afternoon chores." Applejack said while resting her arms behind her head. "They help wipe away that exhaustin' feelin' Ah get after Ah spend hours workin' my keyster off at home."

"Yeah, they are really amazing." You say as you briefly think back to that sunset. Since you were here at the party now, you decided that it was time you stopped stalling things to have some fun with your greatest friends in the whole world. "So, Pinkie? What kind of games did you have in mind for the party?"

"Lots of exciting fun games, Anon!" Pinkie says as she once again pulls her scroll out of nowhere to read off of the list. "Let's see... There will be a game of Pin the Tail on Mr. Cranky Doodle, a round of the multiplayer racing game The Applewood Derby for each guest including me, one game of Dragon Pit, a game of pillow fight, a game of..."

Before Pinkie could say the next game on her list, you all turned to see Rainbow Dash walking into the living room still feeling a bit nauseous as she has her hand on her belly to indicate she was seriously sick to her stomach for more than ten minutes. She then sits down on the couch that Fluttershy and Pinkie are sitting on right in the middle spot between them. You all look at her as she lays back against the couch while trying to keep her head from spinning.

"Are you alright, Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy asked.

"I'm feeling a little better, Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash replied as she looked at Fluttershy with a gloomy face. "Why did you have to let your brother give you a ride?"

"He was the only one home." Fluttershy said with a guilty expression. "I'm sorry about my brother. And I don't mean to start an argument or anything, but if you weren't shaking your..."

Rainbow Dash immediately cupped her hand over Fluttershy's mouth to stop her from finishing her sentence.

"Shh!" Rainbow Dash hushed Fluttershy as she blushed while having a panicking expression on her face. "Don't tell them what happened! It's so embarrassing I don't want anyone knowing!"

"Oh, you mean about how Zephyr Breeze saw you shaking your tushie?" Pinkie asked.

Rainbow Dash then looked at Pinkie with a wide-eyed face as her blush got even brighter. Rarity and Applejack both got wide-eyed, too. They then started snickering.

"Rainbow Dash did what?" Applejack asked while trying to contain her laughter.

"I DID NOTHING!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed in panic.

"I believe Pinkie said that Zephyr Breeze saw Rainbow Dash shaking her rear end." Rarity said while snickering.

"Oh. Ah see." Applejack replied.

They both glanced at each other few a couple of seconds, and then immediately burst out laughing.

Rainbow Dash watches as Rarity and Applejack laugh at her for doing something at the wrong place and time with quite an embarrassed look on her face. She then looks at Pinkie with a scowl.

"Pinkie! Why would you tell them that?!" Rainbow Dash asked as she shouted at Pinkie while grabbing her by the shoulders.

"Oh, you didn't want everyone else to know about that?" Pinkie asks while looking very puzzled.

"No!" Rainbow Dash replied while still shouting as Rarity and Applejack continue their laughter. "I didn't want everyone else... Wait. What do you mean by "everyone else?" And how did you know about that? You weren't even outside when that happened."

"Oh, Anon told me about that." She said with a huge toothy smile while she pointed at you. "Sunset and Twilight were with him, too."

You made a huge gulp as sweat started to form on your forehead and fell down your face Rainbow Dash looked at you with a pretty scary-looking scowl while the blush was still on her face.

"ANON!" She growled through her teeth as she was furious at you.

You just made a serious mistake. You both embarrassed and angered Rainbow Dash at the same time as you recklessly revealed something seriously embarrassing about her to her friends because you thought it would be no big deal, and you were seriously wrong about that as a result. What's even worse about this is that you all are going to be playing Truth or Dare, and Rainbow Dash was probably going to go even harder on you with even worse ideas for you in terms of the truths or dares. You had to fix this to save yourself from an already bad situation. So to do that, you had to come clean and tell everyone in the room what really happened, including what you were thinking while watching the sunset. That's right. You were going to tell them about your secret feelings for Sunset Shimmer. It might be incredibly embarrassing for yourself to announce your secret feelings for Sunset and make it difficult for you to interact with her in front of everyone, but nothing could be as embarrassing as what Rainbow Dash comes up with in that game.

"Uh, guys?" You nervously said from the awaiting embarrassment and from looking at Rainbow Dash's angry face. "I didn't finish explaining what happened with Rainbow Dash and Zephyr Breeze. The reason why Rainbow Dash was shaking her butt in the first place was because she was only making fun of me."

As you said this, Rainbow Dash stopped scowling at you and then looked at you with a perplexing look. Rarity and Applejack stopped laughing to hear what you had to say, and Fluttershy and Pinkie turned their attention towards you. You then looked at Rainbow Dash and gave her serious look while nodding your head to nonverbally tell her that you were going to confess your feelings for Sunset. She at first didn't understand you, but then thought about for a couple of seconds and then had a look of surprise on her face from realizing what you were trying to tell her.

"The reason was because I..." You stutter while trying to build up the courage to confess as Rainbow Dash continues to shake her head telling you not to announce your feelings for Sunset. "I... I..."

"Was it because you were staring at the sunset in the sky, which was such a beautiful view that it caused you to think back to Sunset Shimmer at her most cutest moment that it made you realize that you have a crush on Sunset, which Rainbow Dash noticed and decided to make fun of you by using her heiny to imitate the sundown and sunrise sun positions as a visual metaphor of you thinking about Sunset shaking her butt at you?" Pinkie asked very rapidly while making a very wide toothy grin as she finished her sentence while making a squee sound.

You stared at Pinkie completely dumbstruck at how specific and on-point she was with her assumption. Everyone else was staring at her too, but they weren't as shocked as you. You couldn't be able to form a sentence as Pinkie continues to smile until she spoke up about something.

"Speaking of Sunset, she and Twilight haven't entered the living room yet." Pinkie said while looking very curious about them.

"I think I'll go check on them." You said as you got up off the couch. This was definitely the right time you needed to exit the room since now everyone knows you have a crush on Sunset except for Twilight and Sunset herself. So this was the perfect time to save yourself from embarrassment. You exited the living room and headed into the kitchen. And sure enough, Sunset and Twilight were still there. They were sitting at the table with one of those arrow spinners that's common in most games such as board games.

"Hey." You say to them. "You two have been in here for while. What are you doing?"

They both look up to see you standing inside the kitchen.

"Perfect timing, Anon!" Twilight says with her happy "eureka" face that she usually makes when she succeeds with her ideas for her inventions. "Come over here and give this spinner a try."

"Okay." You say as you walker over to the spinner. You span the arrow with a quick flick of your finger. As you watch the arrow spins around at very intense speed, you suddenly notice something glowing near where Twilight was sitting. You looked up to see that it was Twilight making that glow. Her hand was covered in a magenta colored aura as she was moving her hand and fingers a bit. She has super powers, which are telekinetic abilities. You've seen her do this before, just like with the other girls because they have super powers too. You've seen Sunset demonstrate her powers the most. Her powers allow her to see a person's thoughts and memories, as well as understand their emotions by just physically touching them. During your first week at Canterlot High, you had some serious issues when it came to communicating with people that the only way for Sunset to figure out what's wrong with you was by using her powers to see into your mind. At first it felt like an invasion of privacy to you, but then after a while you viewed it as a symbol of Sunset's empathy which is one of the reasons why you like her so much. And once you started to communicate more with people, Sunset didn't really need to use her powers to understand you anymore since you've become so open with her that her powers were rendered unnecessary. And between the two, actually talking to Sunset was a lot better than just having her see into your mind.

"Now, watch this!" Sunset says to you.

Suddenly the spinner started to slow down as it was about to land on you, but then it slowly landed on Sunset instead.

"Yes, it worked!" Twilight excitedly said.

"What worked?" You asked.

"We'll explain later, Anon." Sunset replied while smiling like Twilight was. "But for now, I think it's about time the party started!"

"But shouldn't we..." You tried to object but Sunset put her index finger over your lip to silence you.

"We've got plenty of time to discuss about this." She said with a reassuring smile. "Let's spend the majority of the night making it special for you just like we all wanted it to be to help you improve your mental health even further."

"Okay." You said as Sunset lift her finger off your mouth. As much as you wanted to get the Truth or Dare problem taken care of, you thought that Sunset had a point and there will be plenty of time to sort that problem out.

The three of you exited the kitchen and headed into the living room where everyone else was.

"Sorry about the long wait, guys." Sunset said to everyone. "But now that's out of the way, let's all introduce Anon to a party that will be the best night of his life!"

Everyone in the room cheered as Sunset said this. Suddenly you heard some giggling from the other girls that were sitting on the couches. You then looked at the right side of your shoulder, and you noticed that Sunset's arm is wrapped around you. You started to blush again, but you were too embarrassed to speak up since they all know your little secret about Sunset. So you just pretended not to notice Sunset has her arm around you and let her get the message herself.

"What are you girls giggling about?" Twilight asked them.

"Nothin'." Applejack responded with a giggle.

Twilight knew they weren't giggling about nothing. She then made a questioning facial expression as it seemed like Applejack's response reminded her of something.

"Why do I feel like I'm getting déjà vu from this?" Twilight asked herself aloud. "This reminds me of when we went to Camp Everfree, and you girls were giggling when I first met..." She then looks to her right and sees Sunset with her arm around you. "...Timber Spruce." As she noticed Sunset's arm around you, she also started to giggle.

Sunset was then wondering why Twilight was giggling all of a sudden, particularly at her. She then looked at you and noticed she had her arm around you, and then she looked back at the giggling girls which caused her cheeks to turn red and her questioning face turned into a shocked face.

"Oh, uh..." Sunset stuttered embarrassingly. "I-I was just... going to give Anon a shoulder massage!"

Sunset then started giving you a shoulder massage while having a nervously toothy smile. She was certainly making this situation a lot more awkward.

"Okay. So thanks for the massage, Sunset." You awkwardly said while stepping away from Sunset and then looking at Pinkie. "So Pinkie, are you ready?"

"ABSOLUTELY!!!" Pinkie shouted at the top of her lungs while jumping on the couch cushion. "But before we start, I just realized that we all haven't changed into our pajamas yet. It wouldn't be a slumber party without pajamas, so go change everyone."

You all then went to separate parts of the house to change into your pajamas. Your pajamas were a purple flannel shirt and with flannel pants to match. You all then came back to the room in your pajamas. As you reenter the living room with everyone already there, you get a bit of attention from everyone, which is probably because of the pajamas.

"Oh my word!" Rarity said in amazement. "Anon, those pajamas look so dashing on you. They really bring out a handsome side to you. Uh... Not that you were never handsome, you just look even more handsome."

"Thanks, Rarity." You said as you were flattered by the compliment. "I appreciate that I'm considered attractive."

"Oh, you are most welcome, darling." She said to you as she started to giggle again. "Hey, Anon. I think there's someone else who thinks that you look more handsome than I do."

"Who? You asked.

Rarity then pointed to her right while giggling even more.

You looked to where she was pointing, and what she was pointing to was Sunset. It looks as if Sunset was gawking at you. Her face was blushing, her eyes were wide, and her mouth was agape. This made you feel even more flattered that the girl you have a crush on found you really attractive. You couldn't help but smile at Sunset. She then snaps out of her gawking state and then speaks up.

"Uh... Sorry for staring at you like that, Anon. "Sunset said as she apologizes while looking down at the ground. "I always thought you were attractive, I just never knew you were THAT attractive."

"It's alright, Sunset." You said while smiling at her. "I'm actually very flattered you find me all that attractive."

As Sunset smiles at you with her usual cute blushing face she makes when she's so bashful, you turn to Pinkie as she stands on the couch ready to begin the party.

"Alright, everyone! Let the party begin!" Pinkie said with excitement.

As you quickly head to the food tables to get some dinner before the first game starts, you couldn't help but once again worry about the upcoming Truth or Dare game as it was a bit difficult to get that off your mind while trying to enjoy yourself.

"Are you alright?" Sunset asked you as she was getting herself some sushi and pizza.

"I'm fine." You replied. "You sure you can't tell me now what you and Twilight have as a plan because I want to get this worry off my chest."

"It's best to talk about it later when nobody is looking and when nobody will get suspicious since a lot of these party activities require all of us to be around." She said to you as loads her plate with a lot of sushi. "Me and Twilight will tell you before the game starts. And don't worry. You'll be okay. You won't be chosen by Rainbow Dash to do anything embarrassing, and nothing that happens in the game will change anything between us."

"Okay, Sunset." You said while taking a deep breath. "I'll just try to enjoy myself for the time being."

She smiled as you said this, and the both of you head to the middle of the living room to get started with the first game.
