Zzzzz
Comfy. Cozy. Quiet.
The world was a secure, cozy place when Rainbow Dash blearily opened an eye and glanced around. Only half-awake, the little pegasus caught sight of Twilight, who served as an excellent pillow, and smiled softly. Twilight was cuddled up with Fluttershy, who was lovingly holding Rarity in her hooves. Pinkie Pie shifted in her sleep, snuggling up to Rainbow and Applejack, who gave a grunt under Pinkie. Rainbow felt a smile twist across her muzzle. Her friends. The best friends any pony could ask for, really. They'd been through so much together, and together they'd learned and grown and triumphed over all odds.
And now? Well, now it was time for a little break. It was an odd sensation for Rainbow Dash— the idea of sleeping in such a big pile of warm, fuzzy bodies, but in only a few minutes, she'd never wanted it to end. It was very different, but very very comforting. They were the defenders of Equestria— the six of them, bound together, forever, through friendship. Rainbow Dash had never, ever, felt so secure closing her eyes as she did with her friends surrounding her to keep her safe and warm. It was like the ultimate fort— nothing could reach her, not villain, nor nightmare, nor enemy. Not even herself. Depression kept at bay, sadness driven to the edges of her mind, the only thing she could feel was a warm safety she'd never encountered before.
This must be what heaven is like...
Rainbow Dash shifted her position, adjusting her head against Twilight's hip, and Twilight opened a single eye to glance back at the pegasus. They grinned at each other, weakly. She could feel it, too. The penetrating sensation of safety and security. All fears vanished and banished by the shield of love they all held for one another. It was the most relaxing sleep Rainbow had ever had, and easily one she might never get again. The problem, of course, with sleeping, was not being awake to be able to enjoy it. She wondered, in her sleep addled-brain, if she could convince Princess Luna to let them play with each other one night in their dreams. They could explore the heavens and Rainbow could show them the world of the clouds. It wouldn't be hard to fly if they were all dreaming, right? It would be paradise, right underneath their eyelids.
It was weird, that was for certain. Knowing everything was going to be okay, no matter what. Oh, you tell yourself that, every day. You believe it because you have to— it's the only way to press on, but this? This was different. This wasn't her telling herself things would be okay. This was knowing, in her heart of hearts, deepest and sincerely that everything would be alright. The world was alright. They were alright, and nothing would change that. Nothing could change that. Not here. Not now. Not in this place or at this time.
With the gentle flicker of a lazy smile, Twilight twisted around, careful not to disturb Fluttershy in her transition. She moved slowly, inch by inch, until she was positioned right underneath Rainbow Dash, peering up at her and blushing faintly.
Rainbow glanced down, her own cheeks pinkening ever so slightly. They didn't need to speak. They could both feel it— a warmth and security and a level of trust that was nigh supernatural. Slowly, Rainbow settled back down, resting against Twilight's neck with a gentle nuzzle. Oh, she liked this mare. A lot.
Something made a sound. Something far off and into the distance, but it was enough to put Rainbow on high alert. Like a cat, both her ears perked, and she lifted her head. What was that?! Something threatening her friends?! Something daring to intrude on this perfect moment of heaven?! Below her, Twilight offered another lazy grin, and reached up to pull Rainbow back down into the pony pile.
Mmmmph. No. You stay.
Rainbow couldn't refuse. As if she were going anywhere in the first place, but this set it in stone. That safety and security flooding back all of a sudden. What was she worried about again? It didn't matter— no, it couldn't matter. Not here, with all her friends surrounding her, warm and safe. And if it WAS something threatening, they could defeat it— like they always did before. Like they always would. Like they always had.
Rainbow drifted back to where she was, gliding along the blurry lines of reality and dream craft. Just listening to Twilight breathing was soothing in its own right, gentle, relaxed, slow. In. Out. In. Out. But if Rainbow tried hard, really hard, she could make out the gentle thumps of Twilight's heart. Rhythmic and heavy, it really was the perfect thing to fall asleep to, and Rainbow found she couldn't resist. She was already only half awake, but this was sealing the deal entirely. Any hope of rousing herself now was gone, and now convinced the mare wasn't going anywhere anytime soon, Twilight let her body go limp, relaxation flooding through her form as she joined Rainbow Dash, drifting lazily between dreaming and consciousness.
It really was a little slice of heaven. Some celestial reward for all the tough times they'd been through. A simple fifteen minutes of sleep, cradled by safety and comfort.
Rainbow gave a lazy smile and yawned, stealing one more glance around the room. Just to make sure all of her friends were still there, and everyone was still happy and content. Pinkie shuffled faintly, nuzzling into Rainbow's hip like a pillow, and pulled Applejack up and into her forelegs, holding her like a stuffed animal. Applejack seemed to snuggle in turn into Pinkie— the stoic farm girl dropping all her normal defenses for this one soothing squeeze. On the other side, Fluttershy was the pillow, and Rarity was lovingly leaning against her, dozing in comfort, while Fluttershy found herself resting against Twilight's side. Twilight smiled quietly and closed her eyes, and Rainbow did the same, stretching out with a little squeak. Life was good. Life was very, very good.

Spike quietly tip toed into the wad of pony fuzzies balancing a tray of mugs of warm cocoa " Here's a little good stuff " He yawned and laid gently among the bunch the tray sitting untouched...

Light and fluffy, like whipped cream.
~Squee~
I see you published this.
Very adorable I highly enjoyed this.
Up-vote, Fav, added to my fav stories on my user page.
And just have to check but may I add this to my Must read blog list?
It's basicly a spotlight blog.
Dang it, Rarity! I'm supposed to be doing homework, instead I'm reading warm and fuzzies!
5949708 By all means! <3
What if Spike had a dangerous nightmare?

........................ WAT?
Darling what are you TALKING about?!
Thanks for yet another refresher of what it feels like to be disassociated from your friends and less important than the people around you.
...I'm...Sorry you felt this way from reading one of my stories, but you must understand I had no intention of triggering such reactions. Also, how could I have possibly known?
mimimi
5950256 Ignore him. He's a member of a small subset that think Spike is more important than he is.
5950256 pretty much what Jet said. That guy likes to ignore that Spike has been shown to have his own life in canon, favoring to complain every time he isn't involved in any and every event the M6 are in.
5950237
But you don't have any friends.
5950237 I give you credit. It must take a lot of work to be such an enormous asshole all the time.
So fucking cute i can't stand it.
RarityEQM, you are frigging CUTE! I know you get that a lot, but what else is there to say? Usually, I just read stories with dark twists and action; this is something a bit new, simply focusing on the group taking a snooze. And I love it! :D
It's pretty well-written, the way you have it, and it's pretty long for it being about the Mane Six napping. It's just a nice, relaxing story, which I found very enjoyable to read. :3
I hope to read more from you! :D
Swashbucklist
Uh...usually I don't respond to things like this at all. Usually, I'm willing to ignore stuff like this, whether it be my story or someone else's. I chose to respond this time, because...dude, what the heck are you even talking about? Why are you so mad? Your reason doesn't even make any sense, and it's just confusing, man. Is it because Spike wasn't sleeping with them, or something?
For heaven's sake, it's a fan fic, not an actual episode, man. There's no need to lash, unless you have a legitimately good reason, and I don't even know what that reason is!
5952998 Thank you ever so much, darling. <3
I feel like this is a bed time story I could read every night before bed and I could just fall asleep, <3 This was amazing. Definitely one of my favorite slice of life reads.
5950237 Apparently you have little if any concept of cute and cuddly. Why don't you go back to your ship fics and leave innocent little cute fics alone.
Absolutely adorable. It's nice to see some fluffy cuteness just for the sake of fluffy cuteness.
As someone who's edited for you before, I do have to point out that there were quite a few errors in there, but it didn't take away from the adorableness.
Want me to go through it? It wouldn't take too long. I'd just proofread, not fully edit— people obviously already love it.
5969262 By all means. <3
An epic picture of cuteness, made all the more epic by an accompanying story. What you two could do together simply MUST be seen!
And now I feel the strong need to reference this in my own story.
MY HEART EXPLODED SEVERAL TIMES AT THIS FIC !!!!
The cuteness its over...9000!!!
Sorry I couldn't resist this was beyond adorable I loved this story and that picture so much!
Cuuute!
Da kawaii factor ish over 999999999! Game Break! *giggles*
P.S: We seriously need a laughing AJ ponimote.
Gee, thanks... I have to go to work in ten minutes and now I want nothing so much as a cup of hot chocolate followed by a nap. On the less sarcastic side (challenging for me, but...) this was adorable and heartwarming, thank you.
5950708 Yes. Thank you, yes. Somebody finally said it. Spike has his own life. Think about it. When you were a kid did you hang out with your ma and her friends all the time? No, of course not. Spike has even been implied to have a career of some sort involving "royal business." (Scribe? Diplomat? Espionage? Will someone please write a fanfic about this?)
Totally adorable!!
Applejack looks like she's so comfy that she's dead to the world lol 
Great job!
One of the most adorable stories ever.
Thanks to the lack of a romance tag, I can interpret that, and the other TwiDash hints in the story, as simply friendshipping.
And I'm all the more happy for it.
8073074
This story is intended to be nothing more than fluffy cuddly, adorable ponies. No romance at all. =3
8473847
While that might be the case, I think other author's end up sneaking in romance into fics that don't need it or have the romance tag.
(Sees this story was made awhile ago)... what is wrong with me that I did not develop telepathy and find this glorious and mercilessly fluffy story sooner?!!
Thanks for giving me diabetes...lol It was very adorable and thank you for writing it, it made my day.
And thank you for giving me aborabetes
lol but on a serious note this story is absolutely cute well done and does anyone know any more story's like this one?
This story was amazing!
There's shipping in it but it's so settle It doesn't show romance
Just a cute story of little puppys all snuggled up together and takeing a nap
