Sweetie said as she continued to hop around the living room in glee and excitement. She didn't even know what was gonna happen and she had nothing planned but that didn't matter to her. "So it may take Rarity a while to get to my house and back, so what should we do until then?" he asked. "Well maybe we could-" she was stopped mid sentence when she had a realization that caused her to stop bouncing and make her ears go down. "Wait, what if your mom and dad say no?" she asked in a sad voice. "Trust me, they will," Dim Shadow said, his parents always had little to no worry about Dim being a little unsocial with the other ponies. Whenever Dim would bring up that he made a new friend, which was a rare thing, they would be happy for him. One of their main worries was that Dim wouldn't make any friends or it would take a while. Dim never had a sleepover before, and his parents would be very excited that not only has Dim made a friend in the short few days that they've been here, but now he wants to spend the night there as well. "How do you know?" she asked. "Just trust me." he said before changing the subject. "So, what do you do at sleepovers?" he asked shrugging. "You've never had a sleepover before?!" she asked both confused and excited. Sweetie Belle loved to have sleepovers, not only because she was allowed to stay up extra late but also because she got to be with her friends for the whole night; and if it was with somepony as special as your colt-friend it could only be that much more fun. "Nope. Is it really that f-" Dim didn't get to finish, Sweetie Belle began to happily and quickly hop in one place by quickly switching her front right hoof and back left hoof really fast and let out a feminine squeak. "Sleep overs are super duper mega fun!" she said loudly. "Okay, you seem a little excited about all this. "Dim said taking a small step back. "S-sorry," she said finally stopped moving. "So what should we do until Rarity gets back?" "Ummm, I don't know. What do you want to do?" she asked unsure. "Well what do ponies normally do at sleepovers?" Dim asked. "Play games, watch movies, eat a lot of junk food, and a ton of other fun stuff," she said happily, ears perked up. "Well it's still pretty early and it's gonna be a while until Rarity gets back from my house, so what do you want to do?" He asked putting a hoof just under his chin. "Oh! I have an idea!" "And that is?" "We can make snacks and stuff." she pointed to the kitchen with a smile, a little too enthusiastic. "Okay, sure." Dim responded. Sweetie took the lead and walked towards the kitchen, quickly after that, Dim entered the kitchen with Sweetie Belle and noticed that it was extremely clean and it had clearly been washed recently. It was an average kitchen though, nothing special about it. "So what are we gonna eat?" Dim asked. Sweetie looked around at each cabinet and drawer, trying to remember the contents of each. Rarity didn't usually let her in the cabinets or let her cook anything for some reason that was unknown to her. "Um, lets look around." she suggested walking towards the closest cabinet and opening it to see what was inside. "Okay, anything in there?" Dim asked, moving his head to try and see the contents of the cabinet. "Just pots and pans and stuff like that, nothing that we can eat." Sweetie was about to close the cabinet when a bunch of pots and pans slid out with a thundering bang as they hit the floor, one by one. She backed away quickly, "Oops!" she said as her ears went down. "How did that happen? I saw those were stacked on top of each other, there's no way those could have just slide out." Dim let out confused. "I'm kind of a little bit of a klutz..." she slowly said with a little fake smile to hide her embarrassment. "B-but, that doesn't-" he let out a sigh. "whatever." "You start looking, I'll put these back." "Got it," he said walking over to the refrigerator. He opened the door and a small cold wave blew over him. Upon investigating the contents of the refrigerator he noticed something wrapped in plastic on a plate towards the back. After carefully moving other items aside he found a couple of sandwiches in plastic wrap. "Hey Sweetie Belle, I think I found something," he said turning his head to face Sweetie. "What?" she asked putting the last of the pans back into the cabinet. "Sandwiches." "That works I guess," she said walking towards the refrigerator. Dim pulled out the cold plate with his mouth and began to walk towards the table. He set the plate down. "So now what do we do?" "Well, usually at sleepovers-" Sweetie Belle stopped talking and turned her attention to the Rarity who just came back from Dim's house with a bag in her mouth. She set the bag on the ground and walked into the living room, not noticing Sweetie Belle and Dim in the kitchen "Where are they?" she said aloud. "We're in here Rarity!" Sweetie shouted from the kitchen. Rarity hearing that Sweetie Belle was in the kitchen trotted quickly to the kitchen to make sure everything was still intact and that there were no fires. "Ah, I see you two got something to eat. I have a surprise for the both of you." she said happily with a smile. Sweetie Belle and Dim Shadow already knew what Rarity was going to say but they chose to act surprised to make Rarity feel a little happy. "Dim, would you like to sleep over tonight dear?" Rarity asked. Sweetie Belle jumped up with a large smile and ran over to hug Rarity. Rarity smiled and looked down a Sweetie Belle then looked over to Dim who put on smile and nodded a couple times. "Well that's good because I've already taken the liberty to go to your house and ask your parents. They agreed and we had a talk with each other for little bit, they assured me you would be no trouble. They packed you a bag, I put it by the door." Rarity cleared her throat. "Sweetie I must have a small talk with you really quick however." she said sternly. Sweetie detached herself from Rarity's leg and followed her into another room, leaving Dim in the kitchen. "Okay Sweetie Belle, this is your first sleep over with a colt, so I must set a few rules." Rarity began to say in a commanding voice. "I know, I know." Sweetie Belle said, knowing what Rarity was probably going to say. "I'm not sure you do, so let me tell you. Unlike when you have a sleepover with your friends, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, Dim may not sleep in your bed. He has to use a sleeping bag, Understand?" "Yes, Rarity." Sweetie sighed and rolled her eyes. "Good, you may continue with what you were doing. I have some preparations to make," and with that Rarity walked off. Sweetie Belle didn't see where she was going but by the looks of it she was heading towards the basement. Sweetie Belle returned to the kitchen to find that Dim had taken the plastic off of the sammiches. "So what was that about?" he asked taking a bite from the sandwich. "She said that since you're a colt you have to sleep in a sleeping bag and you can't sleep in my bed." Sweetie boringly said. "Oh, I see," Dim quickly changed the subject. "So what do we do after we eat?" "Umm.. what time is it?" she asked. Dim took a look at his watch, "About 8:00." he answered. "Okay then how about we-" Sweetie Belle was interrupted when Rarity called them from the living room. "Sweetie Belle, Dim, come to the living room!" she called. Dim got up and the two trotted over to the living room. Upon entering, they saw a projector set up and Rarity holding a movie reel. "Who here wants to watch a movie?" Rarity said with a chime in her voice. "What kind of movie?" Sweetie Belle asked. "A classic movie, Landais and the Trakya." "What's it about?" Dim Shadow asked. "Watch it and you'll find out, darling. Are you interested?" Sweetie Belle and Dim exchanged looks then shrugged. "Okay," they both said simultaneously. They walked over and sat on the couch. "Marvelous," she said putting the reel in it's slot. She turned on the projector and after a few seconds the film flashed on. 3 2 1 beep
