Ponies in the Storm

Enchilada

It was Ben.
(OK, side note, as soon as I wrote that down my brother Ben walked into the room, just thought I would share that.)

Me and the 6 ponies let out a breath when we saw who it was. They had been holding there breath for a while
now that I think about it. Hope that didn't lead to brain damage or anything. Anyway
Ben walked in and closed the door behind him.

"What's up Ben?"
"Nothing, bored."

I just kinda sat there and stared at him for a few seconds.

"What?"
"Really? You know what, I don't know why I'm at all surprised by this."

There were a few seconds of silence before Twilight spoke up.

"Soo, Ryan, Ben, why don't you tell us about yourselves?"
"Um, OK. What did you want to know?"

Twilight pondered for a moment before responding.
"Been on any adventures lately?"

I just kind of looked at her with a look of disbelief.
"You mean, besides all this or, what?"

"Yes, besides us." Twilight replied, seeming a little peeved for some reason.

"Hmm, besides this, nope. My life is generally pretty calm. What about you Ben."

Ben stopped and thought for a few minutes before dawning the most exaggerated
face of enlightenment I had ever seen.

"Oh ya! So, I went to this Mexican restaurant called Qdoba a week or so ago. It's
a little bit like a Mexican Subway, but I digress. So anyway, I got this burrito
with about 4 helpings of beans, and it gave me excruciating gas for the next 36
hours!"

The ponies all kind of looked at Ben with a stare that seemed to be a mixture of
an "are you series" look and a "what did I just witness" look.

I kinda just closed my eyes and sighed.

"I think that's enough for question time, Twilight." I replied trying not to sound
sick as I though back, up until this point, honestly believing a herd of
skunks died in the walls.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dinner went by without a hitch. We had enchiladas. Ben told his story of the uber burrito once more,
quickly and efficiently ending dinner for the rest of us. I said goodnight to my parents, though early as it was,
and acceded the stairs to my room. The ponies were talking in hushed tones and immediately dove in the closet as they heard the door open.

"It's okay, it's just me." I said, staring at the closet doorway, waiting for the ponies to emerge.
After a few moments, they came out and sat in the middle of the floor looking at me.

"Er, is something up?" I was straight up confuzled.
"What do we do now?" Twilight asked.
"Um, I don't know. I'm going to bed, so you should probably do the same."

As if on cue, the other ponies left for their pre-arranged sleeping quarters as I crawled into bed. It was a little cold, but Pinkie kept my feet warm, so there
was that I guess.

We all drifted into sleepy land. For all of about 30 minutes, when Fluttershy rolled off the bureau and hit the floor with a light thud.
I immediately sat upright in my bed and turned on my lamp. Everyone seemed to still be asleep besides me and Fluttershy. Oh, Pinkie woke up to, but she was to busy
using my leg as a snuggle buddy to notice what happened. I didn't complain, not in the slightest.

"Fluttershy, are you OK?" I asked from my bed, staring at her lifting herself off of the floor.
"Yes, I'm fine, but I don't think that I can really sleep up there safely anymore. Is there anywhere else I can sleep?"

Before I could answer, Pinkie replied in the sweetest, most innocent voice I have ever heard.

"It's comfy over here Fluttershy."

I looked at the hardly moving Pink body on my leg, then to the yellow one that just managed to get up on hers.

"My, that does look comfy, actually." Fluttershy responded, walking towards the bed.

Pinkie patted a place next to her and Fluttershy climbed up as I laid my head back on my pillow. Thinking one thing and one thing only as I slip into an unconscious bliss of dreams and rest.

They are really god damn soft.
