(Third Person POV)

As Luxerk made his way into Pinkie Pie's room, the bathroom door closed shut, and Pinkie was in her pajamas. She wore a pink shirt with a small insignia in the top center. It was a blue balloon in between two yellow.

About five minutes have passed, and the other girls walked out of the bathroom, dressed in their PJs. Rarity was dressed in short white shorts, and a white shirt with the lower half cut off, showing her navel.

"You like it, darling?" She provocatively asked him. He just sat there in the beanbag chair, unfazed.

'He must be a colt cuddler if he didn't bat an eye, or he doesn't get out much,' she thought. 

'She doesn't know me; I don't know her. Wonder why she's flirting with me. Reminds me of Larxene,' he thought.

When Luxerk was in Organization XIII, there was The Savage Nymph, Number XII: Larxene. In between missions, she would read a book and occasionally glance over at him and giggle. While on missions if paired together, she would drop subtle hints on "dominating" him.

Just thinking about it made him uncomfortable since he didn't have emotions developed in love. He mostly didn't comprehend love; being a Nobody and technically not Human.

Applejack wore short blue jean shorts and a white tank top. He could obviously see through the top and her nipples. This also caught the attention of Rarity.

"Applejack!" She exclaimed, "There's a boy here; wear a bra!"

"Those things make me itch like crazy. Besides, I noticed the way you held your skirt down and the blush on your face when you came into the cafe; You went commando and waited for the opportunity to "flirt" with Lux."

"Ha! I'd never expose my goodies like that."

"You would if you knew him longer."

Pinkie pushed both of them away from each other.

"Girls, please!" She pleaded, "Think of Luxy!"

Both held their heads low in embarrassment, "Sorry," they both said. Luxerk held up his hands in front of him, slightly sweating.

"It's okay; I'm used to this kind of thing."

"I don't think I want to know," Sunset joked, walking out of the bathroom with Fluttershy. Sunset wore an orange long sleeved shirt with a yellow and red sun with sweatpants of the same color. Fluttershy dressed the same except her symbol was butterflies and green PJs.

"Now that everyone is set let's play Truth Or Dare!" Pinkie announced.

"Oh, so we're changing it up a bit!" Rainbow gleamed. She wore her soccer uniform with her name on the back along with the number 13.

"Yeah; don't we save this for last?" Rarity agrees. Pinkie leans into Rarity.

"Just follow along; need to see what's behind that coat," she whispered.

"Oh, Pinkie, you naughty girl."

The girls sat in a circle formation, leaving a spot open for the skeptical Nobody, who stood there confused.

"What's 'Truth or Dare?" He asks Pinkie.

"It's simple!" She giggled, "When it's your turn, you choose Truth or Dare. If you choose Truth, you have to answer a statement or question about you truthfully, if Applejack thinks you're lying, you lose."

"What if I pick Dare?"

"You have to do what someone says, or you lose."

He nodded and sat, legs crossed with the rest of the girls.

"Okay, let's start with Luxy!" Pinkie points to him, "Truth or Dare?"

"Truth."

"Is white your natural hair color?"

"Yes."

"AJ?"

She nodded in agreement, "He's tellin' the truth, sugar cube."

"Okay! Sunny"

"Yes?"

"Truth or Dare?"

"Truth." 

"Do you think Luxy's cute?"

Her face went flush red, "Y-yes; I'm surprised he doesn't have a girlfriend yet."

"Rarity. Truth or Dare?"

"Truth, darling."

"Did you go commando to flash Luxy purposefully?"

"I…I…I DID NOT!" She yelled, her face turning bright red.

"She lied," Applejack muttered.

"Sorry, Rar. Dashie, Truth or Dare?"

"Dare!"

"I dare you to recite Hamlet's To Be or Not to Be scene while hanging upside down!"

"You're on!" 

Rainbow was picked up by Applejack and held by her ankles.

"To be or not to be…that…is…the…ques…tion…," Dash slurred before briefly passing out and waking up.

"Wha, what happened?" She asked, confused.

"You got the most famous line down, and I'll pass you for that. Fluttershy?"

She immediately eeped and leaped out of the circle.

"AJ, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth."

"If you were into girls, who would you date?"

"Well, ahm athletic, so I'll date Dash if I were into girls."

Rainbow wiggled her eyebrows and winks at AJ.

"If you were, you would be walking funny for weeks."

"OKAY! Moving on. Next round, Luxy, Truth or Dare?"

He let out a devilish grin, "Dare," he whispered.

"I dare you to take off your coat!"

Everyone in the room blushed a dark shade of red. He stood up and looked around the room. He shrugged and threw off his jacket, exposing his bare, well-toned chest. His upper chest was wrapped in a bandage as well as his left bicep and right forearm. This left the girls in the room to stare at him, blushing intensely. He sat down on the chair and unwrapped his bandages, leaving behind black charred scabs.

Rainbow both blushed and nodded at his scarring flesh, "Nice scars, bro," she complimented, "After that heals, you'll look like a real badass."

"Thanks, at least the bleeding and pain stopped a while ago."

Rarity is mesmerized by his chest, "You should be shirtless more often," she cooed.

Rainbow wraps her arm around his shoulder, "You know, with a look like that, you will get a lot of chicks."

Over the next two hours, they played the game until Pinkie won, then they moved onto styling each other. Rarity was moving towards Luxerk while he's moving backward.

"Let me style your hair," she pleaded, "You have a white canvas on your head!"

"No no no!" He protested, "No one touches the do!"

"Just one style? Please?"

He frustratingly sighed, "Fine."

She pulls the Nobody into the bathroom to style his hair. About half an hour of different styles, they finally emerged from the bathroom. All of the girls’ eyes grew wide with his new style. The hair in the back of his head was collected and woven into a French braid and tied at the tip. The front of his face was left alone.

“Well, what do you girls think?” She asks the dumbfounded group.

“Hey!” Pinkie said, “He looks like an albino version of this one anime character I forget the name of.”

“It’s getting late, we all need to get to bed,” Sunset looked at the alarm clock: 23:55.

“Oh, yeah! We got practice tomorrow,” Rainbow remembered.

“Good night, everybody!” Pinkie exclaimed before dropping on her bed and instantly fell asleep. Everyone else said their goodnights as well before crashing all around Pinkie’s bed in their sleeping bags, leaving him awake in Pinkie’s gaming chair. Few thoughts flew through his head, many positive.

‘They've accepted me so quickly despite looking like past guests that ended up causing havoc. I trust them, that’s for sure. Sticking up for Rainbow and agreeing to go to Pinkie’s slumber party; that’s trust enough, but I don't think they will believe me if I tell them the whole truth and slightly lying about it. Only the Principals know of this, and I will have to inform these girls soon. Might as well wait for dawn by what humans call, “Sleeping."’

With that in mind, the weary Nobody decided to sleep off the rest of his injuries, unaware of the forthcoming dangerous events about to unfold. That is until that same voice calls out to him once again...
