"Hey guys, let's have a sleepover!" Pinkie Pie shouted at lunchtime.
Rainbow Dash started choking on her burger, due to the sudden outburst and the surprise of a lifetime. Applejack had to pat her back harder than anyone has ever done. Everyone was staring at their table until Rainbow Dash finally calmed down and took a sip of her orange juice.
The girls remembered the last time they had a sleepover. A lot of things had happened that night: Rainbow Dash almost falling to her death, a heart-breaking confession, two hook-ups, and a very weird Monday later. However, all of that was over now. Especially the relationships. Fluttershy and Twilight found it best if they just stayed friends, and Rainbow Dash and Applejack had a huge fight that the girls still don't know about. Well, they know something happened, but the broken-up couple continue to say it wasn't a big deal. However, they've kind of grown apart after.
And all of this was just 4 months ago.
"A sleepover? Again? I'm not sure this time, Pinkie..." Twilight said, sheepishly.
"Silly Twilight, last time was a slumber party, not a sleepover. Besides, what happened last time we went to Rainbow Dash's house to sleepover?"
"I don't want to talk about it, thanks." Rainbow said, shuddering at the memory of her falling from the heavens.
"Although, there were good moments, too." Fluttershy reminded them.
"Yeah, there were." Applejack said sadly and quietly. Rainbow Dash winced when she heard this, but tried to act nonchalant about everything.
"By the way, what ever did happen between you and Rainbow Dash, anyway?" Rarity asked, desperate for information. Clearly, Rainbow's wincing was a little too obvious.
"Like Ah said, there was nothin' that happened between me and Rainbow. We just grew apart, that's all."
"But you guys only went out for like, 4 months, and you broke up 2 weeks ago, whereas Twilight and Flutters didn't even last a full week!" Pinkie explained, "Talk about a lost cause. I turned into a TwiShy shipper for nothing..."
"What was the last part, Pinkie?" Fluttershy asked.
"Nothing!"
"You know, Pinkie, we could have went out even longer but we chose not to. It just didn't feel right." Twilight said, crossing her arms.
"Yeah, it didn't feel right." Fluttershy agreed, more quietly.
"Suit yourself. So are we going to have a sleepover or not?" Pinkie asked, eating some of Applejack's french fries.
"I'm not sure, Pinkie. I have to babysit the little brat known as Sweetie Belle all month long, and I don't have any other plans to back out of it." Rarity sighed.
"....Okay, everybody! Sleepover at Rarity's house!" Pinkie Pie shouted.
"Wait, what?! I never agreed to this!" Rarity exclaimed.
"But you said you didn't have any plans for the month to back out of babysitting. So, why babysit alone, when you can babysit with your best friends!" Pinkie grabbed Rarity into a tight hug, "Am I right?"
"I suppose so."
"Woohoo! Sleepover starts this winter break! It's gonna be awesome!"
Sweetie Belle was walking home from school, texting Apple Bloom, when she slipped on something and fell on her bottom.
"Oww...what the?"
Looking behind her, she noticed an object that was black and shiny. Looking even closer, the black and shiny object looked like...
A gun!
Quickly getting up, Sweetie Belle ran away from the gun as quickly as she could. Little did she know that the owner of the gun was looking for it. She came out of her backyard and sighed of relief when she saw it.
"Thank goodness, you're okay." Mayor Mare said, picking up her gun.
Pinkie Pie and Twilight were eating ice cream, when Pinkie's face lit up into a mischievous grin. Twilight looked at her funny and tapped Pinkie's forehead.
"You alright up there, Pinkie?" she asked.
"Oh Twilight, I'm never alright up here. But I have great ideas for Truth or Dare at the sleepover-"
"No way! There is no way I am doing Truth or Dare again! Remember everything that happened last time?"
"Oh, Twilight, those were practically harmless."
"Yeah, but emotionally, they were not. Look Pinkie, last time was fun and all, but if this time is any more than we can take, count me...ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?"
Pinkie Pie was picking up something green, and looked at Twilight. "What was that, Twi-Twi? I wasn't listening. But look, I found fifty dollars just lying around! You want it?"
"Ugh, nevermind." Twilight groaned, walking a bit faster.
"It smells like cinnamon!" Pinkie yelled as Twilight was walking away from her, "Wait up!"
Eventually, the two girls arrived at Pinkie's house. Walking up to Pinkie's room, Gummy was sound asleep as Twilight and Pinkie sat down on the bed. Grabbing her "Super-Duper Party Planner," Pinkie began jotting down ideas for Truth or Dare. Wondering what she was doing, Twilight looked over her shoulder to see what she was writing and almost barfed.
"WHAT?! THAT'S IF I CHOOSE DARE?! I HAVE TO E-"
"Shhhhh, Twilight! Gummy's sleeping and the audience doesn't need any spoilers from you."
"What audience?! There's no one here but us!"
"Are you sure? I could have sworn I heard someone yawing..."
"Let's just do our homework." Twilight groaned again.
"Okie-doki-loki!" Pinkie said, opening her backpack, "Just you wait, Twilight. We're going to have the best winter break of our lives!"
"Whoop-dee-doo!" Twilight said sarcastically, showing very little enthusiasm and twirling her finger in the air.

Rainbow Dash was sound asleep in her house, when all of a sudden, her eyes shot open.
Something tells me something really bad will happen during that sleepover...
