  Try getting woken up by two royal arguing sisters of the land in the middle of the night.
Ant could tell you from experience that it was not fun.
He was willing to bet that no one had gotten any sleep that night.
It left you with a sleepy, muddled, feeling when you woke up the next day. You felt like you didn't get any rest, and Ant practically fell right over when he got up.
But somehow, he had managed to get himself out of bed and dragged himself over to Sky's room.
Sky was yawning. He would yawn for a few seconds, rub his eyes, and yawn again.
Ant flopped himself like a fish onto Sky's bed, knocking the bright yellow alicorn off of the bed. Sky crashed into the ground with a yelp.
So soft, thought Ant drowsily, burying his face into the bed sheets. This feels like the Aether......
The Aether was interrupted by a bucket of freezing water being dumped on it.
A soaking wet, cold, grumpy, but definitely fully awake Antvenom dragged himself over to Jason's room.
Jason was lying in his bed, fully asleep.
Ant felt a stab of jealousy. 
"WAKE UP, SLEEPYHEAD!!" Ant yelled in Jason's ear. 
Jason muttered something inaudible like, "Too sleepy, go away."
Ant scowled. He walked over to Sky's room and grabbed the bucket of water that Sky had dumped on him.Sky followed him, curious as to what Ant was doing.
Ant carefully positioned the bucket so that its contents almost sloshed over the edge, but they didn't, and they wouldn't.
Not unless someone happened to push them....
"WAKE UP, ELSA!!!" shouted Ant in Jason's ear. "DO YOU WANNA BUILD A SNOWMAN?! BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP, I'LL SEE IF THEY COLD NEVER BOTHERS YOU!!!"
Sky laughed. "Yes, with Anna and Elsa to Arendelle!" 
Hearing these words, Jason slowly got up. He huffed in exasperation, and jumped off his bed.
Sky and Ant cheered.
Their jubilation was cut short when Jason locked himself in the bathroom.
Well, bonus points for creativity, I guess.
"Um..."
Sky and Ant spun around to see Fluttershy, blushing pink and peering into the room.
"So, um, I heard some screaming, and, um,thought that, um, maybe I could,um help? That is, um, if you,um, want any..." her voice trailed off into the room.
"What the hay was all that ruckus 'bout in the firs' place?" Applejack inquired, stepping into the room with an expression one-fourth annoyed, one-fourth amused, and one-half confused.
Suddenly, a bright pink ball of sunshine cannoned into Applejack and Fluttershy, sweeping them clean off of their feet and throwing them down the hall with a yelp.
Pinkie was standing on her hind legs, her forelegs holding a fire extinguisher. Her hair seemed messy-messier than usual- and she was panting, a rabid look her eyes.
"WHERE'S THE SNOWMAN?!" she screamed, waving around the fire extinguisher. "I WARN YOU, THOSE THINGS CANT BE TRUSTED." She looked at Ant and Sky. "I'M WARNING YOU...."
She hissed a final warning before slinking away.
Oh Notch. I think I was scarred for life.... Ant shuddered, fanning out his wings and widening his eyes.
"I heard a scream and a crash somewhere over here. Is there anything wrong?" Jordan asked, eyes widening as he peered into the room as well. He had a book tucked under a leg, obviously one that he had been reading.
"Oh yeah, sure, we're fine," snapped an irate country pony as she got up and glared at Jordan. Applejack was very ticked off, and shoved Jordan aside as she stomped into the room.
AJ stopped in front of the restroom doors, glaring inside. "HEY, JASON!! I'M WARNIN' YA: GET OF THERE BEFORE I BUST YER FACE!!!"
The bathroom door immediately burst open, a very ticked off blue pegasus glaring at Applejack. 
Twilight walked into the room, a half exasperated, half amused look on her face. 
"What the hay was going on in here?" she questioned, looking at Applejack and Jason having a glare battle to the death, Ant standing there with a freaked out look on his face, and Fluttershy and Jordan just watching.
"If my speculations are correct, then acting like themselves and using their spectacular talent of chaos to cause...well, chaos," snorted Bodil, shoving Jordan and Fluttershy aside as he walked into the room. 
"BODIL!!!!" screamed a hyperactive pink ball of craziness as she shot into a room and slammed into Bodil, knocking them both clean off of their feet.
"Ow..." Bodil moaned, rubbing his head as Pinkie bounced around, a large grin on her face. "You really gotta stop doing that."
Pinkie gave no indication that she heard. "OH MY GOSH!! So, I found this really awesome candy shop just like the one we visited yesterday, only it wasfull of all different types of candy, and oh my gosh I also found out about this super awesome party we could go to, because well, parties are my cutie mark-" she showed her flank to him "-and I just think we could make it so much more fun, right?!" she added, stopping abruptly in front of Bodil and shoving her grinning face so close to him that her muzzle was mere inches away from him. 
Bodil blinked. "Um....yes?" he tried, relived when Pinkie got away from him.
Ant rolled his eyes. As much as Pinkie's annoying antics irritated him, this was one problem that she and Bodil had to fix for themselves.
"Guys, where's Ty?" Sky asked, looking around the room and not noticing the stark white unicorn right behind him. He must have sneaked in when Bodil and Pinkie were rolling around the floor, Ant thought, catching Ty's eye. Ty made a shushing motion with his hoof and drew in a deep breath.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!" Sky randomly started screaming, startling everypony in the room.
Jason and Applejack shot about five feet into the air. Jason spread out his wings, but was dragged back down by Applejack grabbing onto his tail. They hit the ground with a crash!
Pinkie jumped even higher than them, crashing into the roof and landing on top of Bodil, who let out a yell before he was crushed by her. 
Ty screamed right in Sky's ear, causing Sky to scream even louder and flap out his wings.
Jordan was nearly suffocated by Fluttershy as she hung onto him, eyes wide with terror.
Ant flared his wings in panic, running around in circles as Rarity fainted.
Everyone stopped when Princess Celestia busted down the door, a "what-the-heck-is-going-on-there-better-have-been-nothing-done-to-my-friends-or-die" look on her face.
Luna joined her, amusement glittering in her eyes.
If you want to calm down a room of chaotic monochromatic ponies, just throw in an enraged alicorn with the power to control the sun. It works.
"WHAT THE HAY IS GOING ON IN HERE?!" Celestia bellowed. 
Sky blinked. "Um..."
Ty jumped in. "We were playing," he replied.
Luna snorted. "Apparently our guests are enjoying themselves thoroughly if they a racket that loud and mark it as 'playing'." Luna eyed them all, one by one. "Although, it is highly entertaining to have thee all here," she noted. 
Celestia sighed. "Well, please try not to cause such a ruckus next time you wake up." Like her sister, she examined the ponies one by one and said, "How about this time we explore Canterlot we stick together and tour it together. The idea of splitting up didn't really work, did it?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Alright!" said Twilight cheerfully, magically conjuring up a list with her horn and marking things off on it. "So, we've woken up...and we've also gotten together...so next, we have to-"
That was about as far as she got. Bodil's horn sparked rainbow, a blanket flew up, and smothered whatever else Twilight had to say.
Magic.
Twilight counter-attacked by pulling the blanket with her own magic, eyes gleaming with excitement, the list lying forgotten next to her. "Oh, wow! I've never seen a unicorn with a magical aura that changes color! How did you do that? According to my research, a unicorn's magic aura color is usually some shade of the unicorn's eyes- for instance, my eyes are purple, and my magical aura color is magenta- but I've never heard of- or seen- a unicorn who could change their magic aura color! So tell me, how did you do that? Do your eyes change color or something? I mean, I guess it would make sense if you did, but your eye color would have to change color drastically every second in order for it to affect your magic aura color as well! So tell me, how?!" she inquired, eyes wide and face about two inches from Bodil's.
"Seventy-five," Bodil replied. As far as he was concerned, a magical color changing aura wasn't all that strange in a world full of dragons, magic, and exotic equines, and wasn't really worth getting worked up over.
Twilight frowned. "Seventy-five?" she repeated, confused as Bodil and the rest of her friends groaned. "That doesn't seem like a very logical answer to me. In fact, it doesn't even really make sense! How can you seventy-five? Seventy-five is either a noun or an adjective, depending on the context in which it's used. For example-" Twilight stopped when she realized that no one was listening and everpony was slowly backing out of the room, trying to escape her lecture.
"Hey! Wait for me!" she yelped, dashing to catch up with the thirteen ponies who had failed to escape her.
