//------------------------------// // Chapter 10- Forts for all // Story: Find out your secrets or Dare // by Misty Moonshine //------------------------------// "You girls look absolutely stunning!" Spike commented as he walked into the room, "Especially you Rarity!" "Oh thank you so much Spikey Wikey!" Rarity had her hair all out with a diamond clip in her hair. She had bangs that covered her eye slightly and he usual thick makeup. Fluttershy had a straight fringe instead of her usual parting (as Rarity wanted to try something new) which looked quite cute on her and a butterfly clip in her hair. Her skin was shining after the facial mask and she had pale pink blush. Applejack had her hair in a fishtail braid with a apple clip as a hair tie. Her hat was still on her head and she tilted it up when Spike came in. Pinkie Pie had her goofy hair in two pigtails and she was playing with them entertained. She poofed them up and down up and down up and down. Rainbow Dash's hair looked extremely soft after the conditioner, Rarity decided to just leave it out so Soarin could admire it. She had a tiny braid with a lightning bolt hair tie under her think rainbow hair. Twilight just had a normal headband with a star on it and sparkles in her hair (that were removable) and her hair was in a low ponytail that hung over her shoulders. She smiled as Spike walked in and ruffled his fur a bit as he nuzzled her. No one knew but Twilight was still thinking about the scary story, why it seemed really and stuff. She wanted to ask her friends if they wanted to study with her or not but she was scared they would think studying on a night that was suppose to be a sleepover night very very boring. She really wanted to find out the answer though. "How about we turn this place into a fort?" Pinkie Pie suggested lifting up a pillow. "It'll be so fun and we can sleep there tonight instead of in out sleeping bags!" "That'll be...I guess...of course....fun!" Fluttershy commented receiving a huge hug from Pinkie. "YAY! EVEN FLUTTERS AGREES!" "Let's do it, right Twi?" Applejack asked. "Uh...yea...heh..." Twilight answered uncertain. "LETS DO THIS THING!" The girls and boy started gathering all the pillows and blankets in hands, magic and even sometimes wings. Imagine Twilight lifting up a pillow, holding a pillow ad carrying a pillow in her wings! Rainbow Dash was looking at Soarin for some reason and Applejack had to slap her to get out of it. Fluttershy was getting only one pillow at a time and putting it in the box. Rarity was in charge of the blankets and she was using her magic to lift them up. Twilight opened up a book to see how you build a fort; 1.Assemble four chairs, tall leg resting cushions or dressers of a medium size. This tutorial will assume you're using chairs. 2.Arrange the chairs into a square. 3.Place a lightweight blanket over the top of the square. You might need a helping hand. 4.Clip in place. Use paper clips, safety pins, rubber bands, etc. to hold the blanket in place. 5.Have helpers pull back each of the chairs. Pull until it no longer droops in the middle. 6.Use a stick or long pole for the middle piece. Insert this in the middle, to raise the blanket upward. 7.Keep the stick in place by pushing large cushions or pillows around it. 8.Lay comfortable items across the floor. Add quilts, cushions, and other comfy things inside. 9.Add your goodies. Add electronic devices, books, food, etc. Add a flashlight for light. 10.Crawl inside. Invite friends in. Have a cozy time! "Guys, check out this book!" Rarity peered over her shoulder and looked at the book, "I guess we will need four chairs..." Twilight used her magic and four chairs appeared in front of them. "There, all good." "Now the blanket and we need teamwork, yes thank you Applejack, Pinkie! Flutter shy please use those clips to clip everything onto the chairs...yes dear...well done! Okay now Pinkie AJ, please pull the blanket..yes..thank you. Rainbow? Rainbow? Uh..." Rainbow Dash was talking to Soarin who was staring at her, "Typical lovebirds....now Fluttershy can you place the pole in the middle? Thank you darling, Pinkie, put the pillows and bean bags around the pole so it doesn't fall over, Twilight? Do we have any quilts or stuff...oh yes..the bean bags...now lets go in to have a look." Rarity entered the fort smiling, it was warm and cozy and fit for around 10 people. They only had 7 so this was pretty good. She looked over at Soarin who was drooling and used her magic to without him noticing what happened but wiped it all off. This is what happened..... Soarin was staring at Dash once again, he loved how her hair swayed as she walked and not releasing that he was drooling. "Soar? You goofball..what are you doing??" "Huh?? Oh..um...yea..heh..heh..." Soarin felt his face turn tomato red as Rainbow peered into his eyes with her magenta ones, "I'm fine...yea..heh..heh.." "But you were drooling, over what? You can tell me anything!" "Um..." Soarin knew that the truth was that he was drooling over her beauty but instead he blurted out.. "PIE! Yes..uh..I was drooling over...pie!" "Right..." Soarin spotted Rarity using her magic, she winked at him. "Pie is really good you know and uh...very..um...healthy..and it...tasted like apples??" "Soar..I'm not an idiot. You're improvising, spill the beans. What are you doing?" Rarity looked at him and beckoned him over. "Uh...I'll be right back"
