Applejack stuffed her pillow and some apples into a larger saddlebag. She had taken one of Big Macimtosh's saddlebags so she could fit everything she needed for the sleepover. She was so excited, she couldn't believe her luck!
The timing of Twilight Sparkle's party couldn't have been better, she had been having some strange feelings lately. She had fallen for one of her best friends, and now she had the chance to talk to her about it at this sleepover. She hoped Twilight wouldn't mind that she was using her sleepover to confess her feelings for Fluttershy. If she were a good, true friend she would be happy for her, despite the fact that she would be coming out of the closet as a Filly Fooler.
With her mind made up, she bounded out of the door, hoping to get to Twilight Sparkle's treehouse early. Nothing could stop her now from telling Fluttershy that she loved her.

"Punch, check. Pillows, check. Sleeping bags, check." Twilight Sparkle had been mumbling to herself about what she needed for the sleepover for a while now. "I guess I'm finally ready." she announced.
Right on time, Applejack arrived. She set her saddlebags down in a corner and walked over to greet Twilight.
"Hey Twi! How's it goin?" She asked politley. It was hard for her to keep the excitement out of her voice.
"Um, great! Just great. I wanted to tell you something…" before she could finish, Rainbow Dash burst in the door, followed by Pinkie Pie.
"I found Dashie for you!" Squeaked Pinkie Pie. Her eyes were brighter and happier than normal and she seemed anxious to start the games and fun. Soon enough, Rarity and Fluttershy arrived and it was time to start the sleepover.
"Hey, I have an idea!" hollered Rainbow Dash. "Let's do a pillow fight!" Rarity gave her a look that let them know she would not participate.
"I refuse to be brutally beaten by five other ponies while I stand alone. I say we should divide into teams!" The other ponies agreed and they split into teams. "I would like to be on Rainbow Dash's team seeing as she is so eager to jump into the fight."
"Nah, Rarity just already knows that I'm the best at pillow fighting here. She's afraid to challenge me." The rainbow maned-pony boasted.
"Ah'm not afraid to challenge ya, RD. Ah want Twi on mah team with her fancy levitatin' spells and whatnot." Applejack said. She trotted over to stand next to the lavender unicorn. Twilight was glad that Applejack had picked her, but she had to try hard not to blush.
"That means you're with me, Fluttershy." Said an excited Pinkie Pie.
With all the teams settled, the pillowfight started. Twilight sparkle could hardly focus, she was lost in the clouds like a Pegasus, Applejack wanted Twilight on her side. In that moment, Twilight silently promised her that she would always be there, right by Applejack's side.
