“Cah-kah-doo-dull-doo!” The rooster of the Apple Family’s Farm calls out at the break of dawn with its own version of a farmer’s accent. It was the beginning of a beautiful perfect day. The Summer daylight heat pushes out the Winter nighttime chill. The morning birds chirp and sing because Spring time has now arrived. “Cah-kah-doo-dull-doo!” calls out the rooster once more and continues to do so out of anger. An empty brown paper bag was crunched into a ball and thrown at the defenseless bird.
“Ugh. Where am I?” Spike groaned realizing he was rolling on soft freshly cut grass hearing a few crinkling sounds that felt like empty soda pop bottles. The Spring breeze brushes against the tip of his nose which carried a strong apple scent answering his own question. He stands up to stretch and looked around to survey the scene. “What a party!”
The view from the back barn to the house itself was a sight. Trash was thrown all around. The lawn had confetti, people who never made it home stirring themselves to wake up, beer cans, and pie plates lying around sporadically. Different coloured streamers draped over some of the trees. Behind Spike, one of the barn doors creaked open and a bunch of girls were giggling waving a half filled bottle of rum and cups in their hands. He was easily startled from his peaceful meditation that he jumped knocking his stale cup of Jack and Coke over causing the girls to laugh louder.
Spike turns to face the girls. “Hey! Good Morning to you Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo!!! Are you three the only ones up in there? How did I end up out here?”
“You were all about being hot and juicy with Silver Spoon, like, as if no one was watching.” Sweetie Belle gossips to him “Then you told her that you needed to go to the bathroom and walked out here and never came back!”
“Ohhh, Nooo!” Spike said frowning. “Is she pissed off at me?”
“Ah don’t think so. Ah think she mightah passed out when ya left.” Apple Bloom tells him.
Scootaloo pipes in. “Diamond Tiara was being such a B-I-T-C-H all night to Sweetie Belle. Then, she left.”
“Isn’t she always?” Spike asked.
“Ah think it’s cause she like-likes Sweetie Belle!”
Sweetie Belle turns red. “NONSENSE, Apple Bloom! And, I am standing right here! We don’t like each other in that way! EVER! NEVER EVER…ever!”
“Don’t get your panties in a twist Sweets!” Scootaloo teases.
“AH never said YA liked her! Now we hafta wonder bout ya liking her too?”
Spike just rolled his eyes and picks up his now empty cup, shakes it a little bit to get the straggling drops out and held it up to the girls so that they can refill his drink.
“SPRING BREAK MORNING DRINKS!!!” they all cheered waking the rest of the back barn up.

“Cah-kah-doo-dull-doo!” The rooster boasted at its usual time alongside an apple shaped alarm clock. And as per usual, Apple Jack yawns and stretches her arm out to hit the snooze button. Unlike her older brother, Big Mac, she needed that extra 7 minutes of sleep before she started her long work day. It was ALL about that extra 7 minutes.
“Cah-kah-doo-dull-doo!” The rooster calls out again 7 minutes later, again with the apple shaped alarm clock. Again, did Apple Jack hit her snooze button? Yes. Today, Apple Jack was extra comfy. Today, Apple Jack woke up next to an also comfy Rarity who was cuddling up and digging into her muscular body. Apple Jack’s arm was the new pillow as pink is the new black. The rooster has not shut up yet though. It continued to Cah-kah-doo-dull-doo! like crazy mad style.
‘What in tarnation is wrong with that bird?’ Apple Jack thinks to herself. She tries to wiggle her way off the bed but gets clung on to.
“Five more minutes, Darling Love, please?” Rarity whispers in her girlfriend’s ear.
“Awe shucks, alrighty then.” Apple Jack says as she stretches the same free half of her body and yawns some more. “Five minutes more, Sugar Love.”
“Starting when I say, of course.”
“Not taday. Ah wish. But, Granny Smith is a comin back Ta-night.”
Rarity pouts. “You’re absolutely right, Darling Love.” she purrred like her cat Opal would. “Let’s roll out of bed already.”
“But, ya didn’t say when five minutes have a started!” exclaimed a very bewildered Apple Jack who wanted that five minute extra cuddle time, not wanting to see what outside her bedroom looked like.
“Mmmm… right now!” Rarity says and immediately started their quick make out session.

“Cah-kah-doo-dull-doo!” The rooster shouted for everyone to start their days but it was a faint shout to Rainbow Dash. The sound of the rooster just became part of her dream world out of nowhere which got disregarded as she zoomed really fast towards the finish line where her Fluttershy was waiting with open arms. She was almost there when “Cah-kah-doo-dull-doo!” repeated over and over again and Fluttershy vanished.
“FLUTTERSHY!!!” Rainbow Dash sat up screaming. She started to blush at herself for waking up like that, leaned up against the wall below the window and then proceeded to wonder where her future Mrs. Rainbow Dash was. Soon, she noticed pillows rising and falling in a continual pattern. Underneath the nest of pillows that formed around her making a bed, Fluttershy seemed to be hibernating with a smile on her face. “How adorable you are, Fluttershy.” Rainbow Dash said out loud to herself after flinging a few pillows off Fluttershy so she could see her. Dash leans forward and lightly kisses Fluttershy on the lips.
The tiniest of yawns comes out of Fluttershy’s mouth and she opens her eyes wide. Her already smiling face just grew bigger into a grin. She kisses her Rainbow back a good morning.
“Wake up, sleepy head! It’s Spring not Winter!” Dash teases as she looks into Fluttershy’s eyes in a loving way.
Fluttershy frantically starts to pat herself down and swims her arms to pat Rainbow Dash’s lower half down which was underneath all the pillows as well. ‘Whew, we still have our clothes on… our, uhhh, panties and bras, anyway!’ she thinks to herself hearing Dash laughing.
“Yeah, we have our clothes on still, Shy!” Dash beamed answering as though she heard what Fluttershy said silently to her own self. “I made sure of it before sleeping, myself.”
Fluttershy crawled upwards so she could sit up against the wall next to Rainbow. She rests her head on Dash’s shoulder and sighed intertwining their fingers.
Dash sighed too. “What a mess.” she says as she woke up with her eyes adjusting to more than just her pillow fluff that they slept on. Her tummy decided to speak too by grumbling really loud complaining about being hungry. So loud, that a pillow belonging to the couch flung at her.
Fluttershy got a partial giggle out before she said “Oh, my!”
The both of them turned their heads to the direction of where the couch pillow materialized. To the left of them they saw Spitfire stretching out her wings next to a snoring Soarin.
“Turn your tummy off, Dash!” Spitfire yawned rubbing her eyes. “It’s as loud as that damn rooster!”
Dash started to laugh so much she thought she would wake up Soarin.
Spitfire continued to talk over Dash laughing in the corner. “I should have been smart like him…” she points at Soarin “…and wore ear plugs. But, it’s just as well since he and I are starting at the Wonderbolt Academy soon to train.”
Rainbow Dash stopped laughing because she too wanted to be at that Wonderbolt Academy.
“Don’t worry, Freshie… you’ll join us eventually.”
“Shut up, Spitfire! Don’t call me Freshie!” Dash shot out. “And I’ll be attending that academy in less time that it took you guys to get in!”
“Sorry, but, you’ll always be my little Freshie!” Spitfire says to Dash as she recalls her senior year of flight school and little Dash with a glued on to her arm Fluttershy walked into their freshmen year. She looks around the place, also, nudging Soarin with her foot. “Yeah, what a mess this place is.”
Toilet Flush! Water Pipes of Faucet Run! Gargle Sound! Water Off! Door Creak!
The Pegasi chics face the bathroom.
“Good Morning, Ladies!” Twilight Sparkle smiles and waves at those in the living room.
“Morning, Twi.” Spitfire and Rainbow Dash say.
“Good M-morning, Twilight!” Fluttershy stammered hiding her face behind her long flowing baby pink hair and Rainbow’s arm. “We didn’t notice you entering the bathroom! We’re sorry… we would have said good morning sooner if we had known!”
“It’s quite alright. I would have been like a book with no words if I didn’t freshen up first!” Twilight said to make Fluttershy feel better.
“How long have you been awake, Eggy!” Dash asks her genius friend using her playful nickname.
“Just when the first Cah-Kah-Doo sounded in my ears, I got up.” Twilight answered. “I then started to evaluate the after party mess writing a check off list of what needs to be done about it, which I haven’t finished. Where is everybody? I saw Pinkie Pie sleeping in the dining room’s chandelier on my way to the bathroom!”
“Apple Jack and Rarity are still in Apple Jack’s room, Silly Willy Twi-lly!” spoke a bubbly dark pink curly haired girl behind Twilight.
“AURGHFFF!!!” Twilight jumped out of her skin a few feet above the ground.
“Wow, Eggy! It’s like you have wings just like us!” Dash snickered and Spitfire laughed causing Fluttershy to say her name in a scolding manner.
Twilight ignored Dash and asked Pinkie “What are they both doing in there!?”
Pinkie gasped. “Don’t you remember!? They came out of the closet about their relationship when Dashie and Flutters announced their engagement turning last night’s party into an engagement party and we all started drinking more shots and eating the vodka soaked apples like they had nothing in them and, and, and…”
“BREATHE PINKSTER!” Dash yelled at her like she always does.
Instead of continuing, Pinkie started to die of laughter. Sets of footsteps were heard coming down the stairs.
“What here is all so funny ya’ll?” Apple Jack came down originally smiling till she saw her house.
“Ask Pinkie, because I can’t tell you.” Twilight said flatly.
“Well, Pinkie?” Apple Jack waited for Pinkie to answer so she could start laughing herself.
“I just realized Twilight missed you and Rarity telling all of us about your relationship because she went upstairs with a guy who is the librarian in the town over!” Pinkie told her still confused friend of why there is all this laughter.
“No she didn’t! She went upstairs with her Great and Powerful!!!” Dash started laughing causing Fluttershy to say her name again in a scolding matter PLUS a nudge to the rib cage.
“Scan-de-lous!” Rarity sings even more interested than before behind Apple Jack. “Tell me more!”
Twilight turned more red than the apples outside on the trees.
“Who did ya score with last night, Twilight!?” Spitfire too, was interested in knowing. “Who won!?”
“As a matter of fact…” Twilight started to say but paused for dramatic effect “…neither of them.” She received a whole room of ‘awes’. “They both found out about each other last night because one of them said they couldn’t make it here so I invited the other. Trixie showed up after all. Her plan was to try surprising me by telling me she couldn’t make it and bringing me flowers.”
“Oh, how romantic that is!” Rarity clasped both her hands together to her chest. Fluttershy did the same thing in agreeing with her.
“I couldn’t take it anymore and told both of them to leave and go home.” Twilight finished her story short not wanting the attention on focused on her.
GRUMBLE
Everyone turned and faced the only guy in the room. Soarin woke himself up due to his tummy. He took out his ear plugs. “My, my… I died and gone to heaven. I wake up to a room full of beauties!” he says grinning. Before he even got to receive ‘awes’ by the girls, he adds “I’m hungry, where’s breakfast?”
