Chapter 13 - "Sleepover"

"What is Sugar Cube Corner?" Caboose asked, following suit with Pinkie.

"It's the gingerbread house, you silly goose!" Pinkie said.

"You live in a gingerbread house?" Caboose yelled. "That is the most amazing story I have ever heard. Can you tell it again?"

"Maybe later." Pinkie giggled happily.

They were a short walk away from getting to the Sugar Cube Corner, but Pinkie Pie decided to take the long route.

"Are we there yet?" Caboose asked, getting tired of walking.

"Nope!" Pinkie said happily.

Caboose kept quiet for half a minute.

"How about now?" Caboose asked.

Pinkie rolled her eyes playfully.

"We're here." Pinkie said.

"Yay!" Caboose said, starting to run to the closest house.

"I was kidding Caboose." Pinkie said, jumping on him, tackling him to the ground and started laughing. "I thought you knew what it looked like."

"Oh." Caboose laughed with a yawn. "Now I just feel silly."

"Maybe I shouldn't have taken the long way." Pinkie said with a smile. "You're really starting to look pooped."

"I don't mind." Caboose said. "I like walking with you!"

Pinkie blushed and got up off of Caboose and started to take the direct route to the Sugar Cube Corner. Caboose got up and quickly hopped next to her.

"You know, as much as I love Twilight and the others, I feel as if I can't really be myself around them. But with you I feel as if I can really let loose."

"Sometimes I like to pretend that I am really a superhero around others." Caboose said. "They usually tell me to stop after I keep asking where the phone booth is, but I still find it fun."

Pinkie and Caboose soon arrived at their set destination and Pinkie opened the door.

"You're really fun, you know that Caboose?" Pinkie asked.

"Thank you Pinkie." Caboose blushed, which made Pinkie giggle.

Pinkie then leaned in and kissed Caboose on the cheek, which made him fall to the ground again.

"I'm really glad you're here Caboose." Pinkie giggled, helping him up. "I don't think I've ever met anypony like you."

"I don't think I've ever met anypony like me either." Caboose said, letting out a large yawn. "I'm tired."

"I can see that." Pinkie giggled. "We don't have a guest bedroom so I guess you'll just have to sleep on my bed."

Caboose stared at her passively for a couple seconds, then his face broke out into a huge grin.

"Oh boy!" He yelled. "A sleep over!"

Pinkie giggled at Caboose, she then walked to and opened the door to her room, which had cupcakes plastered over everything. Caboose smiled and then started to jump on the bed. Pinkie giggled and started jumping on the bed with him. Caboose then fell backwards on the bed and yawned again. Pinkie stopped jumping and laid down on the bed next to Caboose.

"Good night Boosey."

"Good *yawn* night Pinkie." Caboose said, closing his eyes.

Pinkie looked at Caboose, who was already drifting off. She smiled and laid her head next to his and soon fell asleep, cuddled up to Caboose. Caboose woke up the next morning and looked around the room. He looked next to him and noticed that Pinkie wasn't there.

"Pinkie?" Caboose asked. "Where are you?"

"I'm baking right now, I'll be up there in a sec." Pinkie said from downstairs.

"Pinkie?" Caboose asked, looking down at the floor. "When did you become the ground?"

The door to the room then opened and mrs. Cake poked her head in.

"Oh, hello Caboose. How are you today?" Mrs. Cake asked.

"Oh hello mrs. Icing lady! I'm doing great." Caboose replied, then switched to a quiet whisper, "Did you know that Pinkie Pie is the ground?"

"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Cake asked, looking at him with a raised brow. "Pinkie is downstairs working."

"Oh. OH!" Caboose said. "She lives and works here?"

"Come on downstairs and we'll get you a bite to eat." Mrs. Cake nodded.

"I'm really hungry though." Caboose said, stomach rumbling. "Do you think I could have more than one bite?"

Mrs. Cake smiled and shook her head. "Sure Caboose, come on down."

Caboose jumped off the bed and sprinted out the door, making his way downstairs to see Pinkie. He then ran out the front door and looked around.

"This house is huge. Pinkie are you here?" Caboose yelled, not realizing he was outside.

"I'm over here silly." Pinkie said, taking some baked goods out of the oven. "Want a cupcake?"

"A cupcake... for breakfast?" Caboose said quietly. THIS IS THE GREATEST PLACE EVER!"

Caboose ran back in the house and grabbed a couple cupcakes and started munching on them.

"Boy, you're really hungry." Pinkie said, taking a cupcake for herself.

Caboose stuffed the rest of his cupcakes into his mouth, starting to choke.

"Ya ah eehly wah ‘ungy." Caboose then swallowed them and cleared his throat. "Sorry, my mouth was full, I do that sometimes. I said yeah I really was hungry."

Pinkie smirked and shook her head. "Well, I'm done for the day. What do you want to do?"

"I don't know. What can we do?"

"Well, Applejack stopped by and picked up a lot of treats because she challenged Sarge to a eating contest. We could go and watch them." Pinkie suggested.

"Hey yeah! That sounds fun!" Caboose said, grabbing Pinkies hoof.

Pinkie just smiled and walked out the door with him, making their way to Sweet Apple Acres. They soon got there and saw a small crowd standing in a circle, most of whom were part of the Apple family. Caboose and Pinkie managed to squeeze ahead of everybody to watch the contest.

"Twenty bits on the new guy." One stallion said.

"I'll take that bet." Another said, shaking his head.

Sarge cracked his neck, and was getting ready.

"Hey Sarge!" Caboose said, standing next to him.

"Oh, hey Caboose." Sarge said, not turning to greet him, focused on the upcoming battle of stomachs. "Come to watch me win?"

"Yeah, I guess so." Caboose replied with a smile.

"Y'all ready to shut up and eat Sarge?" Applejack asked with a grin.

"Depends." Sarge said, staring Applejack down. "You ready to lose?"

"In yer dreams, hot head." Applejack replied.
