Part 2

“Seriously?” Applejack frowned staring at the other two.
“What?” Rarity questioned tapping her hoof lightly to Twilight's face applying more of the greenish mixture.
“Yah fussed at me fer trying tah come inside with muddy hooves and tha first thing yah do is mix up some mud in a bowl and slap it on Twi's face?” Applejack snorted.
“This isn't some filthy dirty mud, this is called a mud mask. It's to refresh and rejuvenate ones complexion.” Rarity chided.
“We're giving each other makeovers.” Twilight squeed. “See it's one of the first things shown in the book!”
Applejack looked at the book as it was floated over to her by Twilight, frowning a little as she read what Twilight was talking about. Her friend was a little too earnest about this sort of thing and it worried her. She knew Twilight had some issues thanks to what she had picked up from Spike and her own observations, but she wasn't sure what they steamed from nor how many problems she might have. It was hinted to her that Twilight didn't exactly have a normal foal hood, course neither had Applejack really, for entirely different reasons. Then there was Rarity, Applejack didn't want to deal with her at all. The white mare was getting into this a little too much of course, all this frou frou stuff seemed right up her ally.
Applejack wanted to head home, but the storm was getting worse and she was worried about how Twilight might take her leaving, so she opted to stay for now. Honestly she just hoped she could keep from throttling Rarity the whole night.
~splat~
Applejack winced as something splattered to her face. She frowned as some pony started rubbing the herbal smelling stuff in. She opened her eyes to glare at the mud covered white hoof patting her face a moment before a pair of cucumber slices were slapped over her eyes.
“What!?”
“It's to reduce puffiness around the eyes.” Rarity commented.
“Sleep does that too, an better than produce!” Applejack protested. The mare paused taking the cucumbers off her eyes and eating them. “ Good chow though....”
“This is exciting,we're doing everything by the book..” Twilight smiled looking over the book in question.” And that will make sure our slumber party is perfect.”
Applejack glanced to Rarity a bit nervously.
“Did you hear that Applejack?” Rarity deadpanned. “ You certainly would not want to do anything to ruin Twilight's first slumber party would you?”
Applejack rolled her eyes returning the look Rarity was giving her.” Funny, was gonna say tha same tah you....”
“So we have an agreement?” Rarity questioned.
“I reckon we do. “ Applejack nodded spitting on her hoof and holding it out to seal the deal only for Rarity to recoil.
“Ugh , there's messy then there's just plain rude.” The white Unicorn scoffed looking at the spit covered hoof as Applejack frowned.
“Well there's fussy and just plain gitting on mai nerves.” Applejack muttered back as the two started to devolve into a insult laiden whisper fest again as Twilight read on oblivious to the pairs animosity.
[Canterlot]
“Seriously Fuzzy? That song again?” Trixie scoffed, nursing her drink as she cooled down from her time on stage. “ I'm pretty sure you sang that last time we came here four years ago too.”
“He always sings that.” Spike rolled his eyes.
“Woof!” Rahs growled.
“I don't care if you like it, you always sing it!” Spike protested.
“He is right. How can you call yourself a proper thespian if you typecast yourself into a role like this hmm?” Trixie smirked as Rahs frowned. “ Seriously stop being a hack and sing something else. Let's hear something different out of you for a change.”
Rahs snorted and rose from his seat with a flip of his tattered long coat as he strode towards the stage.
“Might have gone too far there Trixie.” Spike added. “ He hates the idea he's typecast as a monster all the time like that.”
“He'll be better for the change. Not like he can do much aside from sing something badly.” Trixie shrugged as she watched Rahs pointing out the song he wanted to the pony in charge of the music.
“You'd be surprised.” Spike answered. “ So are you actually gonna make a move on him, or just flirt all night, cause he's really blind about that sort of thing?”
Trixie blinked looking at the little Dragon who was calmly sipping on his drink.”Trixie has no idea what you are talking about.”
“And the third pony speech gave it away.”
“What?”
“I've got a neurotic older sister, an easily excitable older brother and another older brother who doesn't have it together as much as he thinks he does. I'm used to catching onto stuff quick to stop it from getting worse. I'm the sane one of the family.” Spike explained. ”Given how you are around Rahs and from what I've been told about you having been in Celestia's school I've picked up on a few of your little quirks in the last few weeks.”
Trixie frowned as the little Dragon spoke. Rahs had mentioned his brother was sharp, but this was more than she expected. “ So is this the part where you tell Trixie to step off as he doesn't need another broken mare in his life?”
Trixie expected a number of responses, the little Dragon laughing was not one of them.
“Pfft of course not. Every mare I've ever met since I could remember is nuts. The trick I think is to find a mare who's crazy you can work with.“ Spike laughed.” Besides I'm just pointing out that Rahs is too dense to notice subtle. If you're gonna get his attention it probably needs to be a big showy deal. Seriously dude needs a girlfriend.”
Trixie blinked and smiled a little. “Well that's good to know.”
“That said, if this is some sort of power grab or bragging thing and you break his heart.... well, I might be a Dragon, but I'm just gonna let Twilight deal with you.” Spike said as if it was a polite conversation not a threat. “She's got journals full of revenge plots she wrote as a foal that she keeps adding to and refining. She needs a stallion something fierce too. Or a clean white coat that allows her to hug herself.”
Spike blinked as Trixie seemed unphased by this. A small smile crossing his lips. Either she underestimated Twilight, or wasn't planning on hurting Rahs. Granted she was staring at the stage with a goofy smile on her face so he expected it was the latter.
“Hmmm?” Spike questioned.
“He dedicated the song to me.” Trixie practically gushed.
Spike blinked, maybe this would be easier than he thought. He looked on stage wondering if Rahs had any feelings for Trixie and if his stupid excuse about a pony's scent really meant anything. He only thought this until the first few notes of the song came on, at which point he fell off his chair laughing.
The rest of the audience hearing the start of the song joined in the singing as well almost instantly.
'Princess' was a very famous band after all.
[Golden Oaks]
Twilight tilted her head a little as she looked up from her book listening to her friends go into some rather specific ghost stories. If she didn't know better , she would think they were talking about one another. But that was silly they were friends right? The Element's wouldn't have worked if they were not.
Maybe something had happened between the pair of them to make them cross with each other? Or maybe these were very specific location ghost stories and she was reading too much into it. Well time to take matters into her own hooves and get a proper ghost story off. Or at least something scary.
Twilight's horn glowed cutting out all the lights in the library. Applejack and Rarity both cried out as Twilight popped up between them shining a flashlight at her chin.
“I've got one. The story is called , the legend of the headless horse!” Twilight began with a grin.
[Canterlot]
Trixie was bright red in the face as Rahs plopped down into this chair across the table from her. The applause he had gotten for his song was much larger than hers, and the dedication still stung too.
“For your information Fuzzy, Trixie's bottom is not fat!” the blue Unicorn snorted as Rahs simply grinned.
Spike had yet to get back up off the floor from where he had fallen over laughing and was trying to contain his flaming hiccups with his claws.
[Golden Oaks]
“…. and then , just when the last one thought she was safe, there standing behind her , inches away.. was... THE HEADLESS HORSE!” Twilight screamed out flinging a blanket over her head and waving her forelegs in the air making both of the others scream out flailing clutching each other in terror.
Twilight smirked cutting the lights back on, making both of the mares leap away from each other once they figured out who they were hugging.
Twilight grinned wide darting over to the book and a checklist she made. “ Ghost story, check.”
She turned back to Rarity and Applejack glaring at each other with mild annoyance.
“Now who wants smores?” Twilight asked with a giggle.
[Canterlot]
Trixie was still glaring at Rahs when Spike went up to perform his song. The navy furred Moon Dog didn't seem bothered by the glare in the slightest. So after a few moments Trixie simply gave up on it and sat back thinking about what Spike had said.
For her plan to work she needed to out power his sister and show blatantly that she was infatuated with him.
A small part of her mind told her to simply say it, to simply tell him how she felt and be done with it, for good or ill and she could progress from there.
The larger part of her mind told her that doing so that was was far too dull and not dramatic enough to catch his attention, let alone convey her actual feelings in the matter. Talk was cheap and often meaningless. She needed more than that. She needed big and showy, she needed to make a production out of the whole thing.
The opening strains of Spike's song caught her attention and she looked to the stage as Spike started to sing. She didn't recognize the song right off but it sounded like that Griffon band, Air-o- smith or something.
“Backstroke lovah always hidin' neath th cover
'Til I talked to my daddy, he say....
He said you ain't seen noting
'Til you're down on a muffin
then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways!” Spike belted out.
Rahs and Trixie both stared at the small Dragon on stage before hoof and paw impacted their respective faces.
“HE'S TWELVE!” was soon bellowed at the stage hoof.
[Golden Oaks Library]
Twilight was not a hundred percent sure she liked where this was going. S'mores had been tasty if a messy check off her list.
Though currently Twilight thought that Rarity and Applejack didn't seem to have a grasp on how truth or dare was supposed to work. They had started by insulting each other.... again then moved on to rather mean dares.
Rarity was soaked and shivering and clearly pissed off. Applejack was dressed up like a storybook princess, Twilight wasn't even sure where the dress had come from, was that thing in the hall closet? She needed to have a word with her brothers when they got back.
As dares started getting more and more vicious Twilight decided that perhaps the game should end before some pony was dared to jump off a bridge or something.
“Umm I think perhaps we should check off truth or dare and move on.” Twilight offered looking in the book.” Pillow fight? What's that?”
[ In another story altogether]
The tall red Earth pony stallion's ears suddenly stuck straight up as he surged to his hooves. His blue eyes scanned the woods where he and the others were camped out at, eyes narrowed as his tail lashed.
A gray Unicorn with an amber mane looked up from where he was keeping watch over the camp. He moved carefully to stand to not to disturb the small blue Dragonling on his back. He looked around the camp curiously as his friend lept to his hooves trying to find the problem.
“What is it Rhede? Is something wrong?” Jer'rahd asked, his horn glowing unfastening the catch of his double sided blade that hung from his side.
“I'll say somethings wrong Jer. Somewhere out there a group of hot mares are having a sexy pillow fight. And I'm not around to watch!” Rhede stated flatly.
Another of the figures in the small campsite rose to her hooves and belted the tall red stallion in the back of the head with a hoof.
The Zebra mare snorted in annoyance glaring at the red stallion as a gray Pegasus half hidden in her sleeping bag spoke up.
“Thanks for that Velkorn, the idiot was out of my reach.”Starfall growled.
“What the buck does a 'sexy pillow fight' even entail” the small blue Dragon on the back of the unicorn asked.
[ Golden Oaks Library]
“Pillow fight?” Rarity scoffed.” I shall not engage in something so barbaric.......”
Her voice trailed off as a pillow belted her across the the face.
“Oooohohoh, It. Is. ON!” The white mare growled.
Rarity belted the pillow back across the room smashing it into Applejack's face. The orange mare in turn bucked a few more Pillows into Rarity knocking her backwards. Several more pillows were magically flung from Rarity's side of the room impacting Applejack.
Twilight popped up in the middle understanding it finally as she looked at the book.” Oh Pillow. Fight. Okay I get it now. Well I get it, but I don't get it. Why is this a thing? OOF!”
The purple mare was soon buried under a number of pillows that had been been flung wild.
“Maybe we should take it down a notch?” Twilight called out from where she was buried.
“Ah will if she will.” Applejack stated ducking behind a wall of pillows.
“You first .” Rarity counted dodging some kicked projectiles.
“Right plan B it is then.” Twilight muttered, her magic grabbing the collected pillows that had buried her and flung them all wild. The enchanted feather filled bundles soared away from her until the spell took hold and they turned midair, homing in on Applejack and Rarity, pelting them and burying both under a mound of pillow impacts.
“Ow....” Applejack muttered under the pile of purple pony pushed plush projectiles.
“Where did that come from?” Rarity twitched under another pile.
“Keep in mind I do have two brothers who I fight with every so often.” Twilight smiled. “No offense to the skills you two display, but Spike and Rahs are much more devious and over the top in our fights.”
The purple mare might have gone on if she wasn't suddenly belted from both sides by another pair of pillows launched by her friends.
[ Canterlot]
“I can't believe they let you sing that.” Trixie snorted.
“What!?” Spike protested.”There's nothing even too that song really. It's just about a guy being told how to walk. It's an awesome song.”
Rahs chuckled as Trixie rolled her eyes.
“Ahh the innocence of youth.” Trixie muttered.
“What?” Spike demanded.
“Nothing.” Trixie stated looking up at the back entrance of the Royal Canterlot Theater. “ Are you sure you two will be alright? It's gotten late.”
“We'll be fine. We want to see Princess Luna any way. Sooner or later she's going to tell us what's going on with Rahs here.” Spike offered. “She'll let us crash in a guest room if we ask I bet.”
“Bark.” Rahs offered.
“Yeah good point. Worst case we take the red eye back to Ponyville.” Spike shrugged.
Trixie blinked.” Don't your parents live here?”
Both Spike and Rahs frowned and Rahs growled a little. “Yeah you could say that, though we don't really deal with them if we can help it. I don't have any problem with them, but Rahs and Twilight prefer not to have anything to do with either of them. A lot of Twilight's issues stem from things they did. They're not bad ponies mind you, they just … didn't know how to deal with the three of us I think.”
Rahs shrugged at that, offering Trixie a bow before turning to head off towards the palace.
“See yah Trixie. Don't forget what I said.” Spike winked at her before trundling off after his brother.
Trixie watched them go as she opened the door behind her listing to the pair bicker as they walked off.
“So what's so bad about going down on a muffin? Derpy does that all the time!” Spike questioned.
[Golden Oaks.]
Twilight pulled her pillow over her head trying to drown out the hushed angry whispers that were steadily getting louder as the night went on. Perhaps she shouldn't have had them share a bed, though she doubted Rahs and Spike would be too thrilled if their beds were used.
She had gotten a spare bed out of the down stairs storage, it paid to have a back up when you have a fire breather and a chronic chewer in your family. She thought this while completely ignoring the fact she had vaporized her last bed.
Still that was neither here nor there as her friends were fighting.... again, and Twilight had had it.
“EEENOUGH!” Twilight shouted sitting up and cutting the lights on in her room with a spell. Grabbing the book with a hoof she held it open to the first page shoving it in Rarity's and Applejack's faces. The pair were fighting over a blanket of all things, ignoring the fact that there were three more of them folded up on the end table next to the bed.
“The number one rule in a Slumber Party is to have fun!” Twilight fussed.” And thanks to you two I can't check that off! I've got an incomplete checklist, do you have any idea how bothered I am by that? Check lists are made for checking things off and I can't check that off, because clearly you're not having any fun!”
Applejack and Rarity both winced as Twilight dropped back down onto her bed with an annoyed growl.
“ Ah been trying to get along.” Applejack protested.
“No it was I who have been trying to get along....” Rarity countered before the two started to go at it again.
Twilight growled sitting up again in anger. “Okay I seriously hope you two are happy, because there is no way I'm going to be doing something like this again. I've been trying to open up to be more relaxed and more open to trying new things. I actually was looking forward to this opportunity for a slumber party when it presented itself , despite having to hide my terror at just saying the word 'PARTY'.”
Twilight stood up on her bed, looking down at the pair of them.
“I could have tried this in Canterlot with my school friends, but I chose to stay the safe route because I was afraid if something went wrong that I wouldn't want to ever do anything new ever again.” Twilight ranted. “ And thanks to you two I was proven right, this is a mistake and I should just give up and lock myself in a tower somewhere and avoid all contact with anything! This was my first slumber party, my first attempt to do something with friends that wasn't the result of a manic god attacking, a supreme bout of stubbornness, a Ursa attack, or a lazy Dragon. Congratulations, I now have yet another 'party' I want nothing to do with.”
Twilight tossed the book over her shoulder hopping off the bed and storming out of the room with a growl, making sure to slam the door behind her as she left. That lasted about three seconds before the door was flung back open, Twilight stormed back in, grabbed Applejack and Rarity in her magic along with the extra bed and flung all of them out of her room before slamming the door shut again with her on the inside.
“Perhaps we went a bit too far.” Rarity conceded from her new position half under the bed.
“Yah think?” Applejack muttered from where she was plastered to the wall of the hallway.

With the way Twilight is, the sleep over is turning out quite well
"Fat bottomed girls, you make the rockin' world go round!"
My favorite song. Very nice.
I see someone changed the title of the last two chapters when they sneaked in a bit of french.
Twilight Velvet: That's why I trust Spike to watch over his older siblings.
Cadance: Don't worry Spike, I have Shining within my leash.
I would say Spikie has good taste in music.
Yeah, I bet Derpy loves a good muffin munching
Yeah, those two really need to get sane. And recognize their friend has a issue checklist long enough to give herself orgasms.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... Im reading that in my other tab o3o
8642559
Hahaha just got that. One of my favorites toop
And that's how Magic Duel happened.
8642559
Funny, this is the second time I’ve read where “Princess” was a stand-in for “Queen”... and I think they used “Fat Bottomed Mares” too!
8642699
Well Queen was the highest royalty at the time and Princess is the highest in Equestria so it fits.
8642690
Pretty much
8642653
I've made a few references to my previous works in this one.
8642614
I was very upset with myself when Loup was suggested and i missed out on a double pun so i fixed it.
8642557
Having rewatched the episode i noticed that Canon Twi was very excitable and very clueless and that didn't work too well for TGaP Twi.
8642653
What's the name of the story?
Great chapter. The constant switching between scenes messed with me a little though.
haven't read this yet but I must ask why is this not 1 chapter??
you know because the puppy kills them all with its cuteness.
I just noticed the chapter title on this and that you changed the last one. Nice.
I think pinkie
will have to have a chat with those two girls they turned her off another type of party
part of me hope twilight fall inlove with either big mac, or sunset shimmer, or crush on one of them hard,
other part of me hope twilight does nto fall in love and stay a crazy pony forever, that or she has mental break down and end up going to therapy that she need major
Well, you are right with that!
I certainly am glad that this Episode was fully written out too. Especially love how you are using Trixie and am thrilled to see how this continues! 
So it seems like this version of Twi is a bizzare mix of being naive and such at a much more Twilight way than canon Twilight was in this episode. Odd in way.
love the stories in stone s insert
You know what you need to do? You need to sic the CMC on this version of Twilight. Somepony is bound to learn something.
8642823
My Stories in Stone series
8642831
That was actually done because of the canon episode. It kept switching scenes all the time and i needed more of a divider in writing the chapter out. Hence the Karaoke.
8642860
Because as usual with me, a idea worms it's way into my brain and it won't let go.
8643031 There are reasons
8643098 Yeah she needs help, but the last therapist she went to she psychoanalyzed 'him' into an early retirement.
8643134
I have no idea why it works like this.
8643182 social things she's clueless , much like canon Twilight, she's smarter and angrier than canon Twilight though due to dealing with her brothers and the readjusted School system.
8643417
Oooooooooh, those three are coming. I'm just sticking close to canon progression for now.
8643711
Then perhaps what Twilight needs is a therapist who can not be psychoanalyzed into retirement, because said therapist has already lost Celestia's marbles, and has used them for the past 1,000 years to play the longest game of jacks Equestria has never seen.
Come to think of it, it might be hilarious if after Discord escapes the first time, he decides to do nothing Chaotic all day just to see how far Twilight can go before she snaps.
8644882
Celestia doesn't need a therapist. The press tells her what's wrong with herself every day.
There's plans for Discord.
wall this has been one heack of a read I am not kidding about how much this made me laugh hope you keep writing.
I don’t get it
8643031
And the. Party of one happens haha.
Also wonder what happens if you have rath face off against Tirek.
Also imagine rath comping down ans eating parsprites like they are popcorn chicken.
8645132
it's gonna go on for a while
8651312
' PRINCESS'
8651421
We'll have to see. Well i mean i know, but you all will have to wait and see.
You can't go wrong with Queen and fat bottom girls.
If only there was a Chrysalis emoji.
Your Twilight has more character depth than the canon. All her friends do.
9405922
Queen, fat bottom girls
9406006
*dies after remembering the song*
FAT BOTTOM GIRLS, YOU MAKE THE ROCKIN' WORLD GO 'ROUND!!
Pffffffffttttttt... Hehehe... HAHAHAHAHA<Snort> hahahahehahaha<cough cough> heeeheeee hahahahaha <deep breath> ... HA
I misread this as "The Great and Powerful Twilight"
Yep another great chapter.
Two years late to the party, but yeah, this was way over the top. The rewrites from Twilight's over the top neurosis are dumping a big wet bucket over the entire premise.
10053736
That’s kinda the point
"Gunpowder gelatin. Dynamite with a laser beam. Incredibly nice!"
What other story are those charecters from
10761499
Stories in stone. My other big story
Now I have a certain Queen song stuck in my head.
OK that advice is it literally some of the best I’ve ever heard when it comes to dating/love
https://youtu.be/PGgQ6QxPeZM
https://youtu.be/ahrBOvz1jzA
Damn! What a chapter. Im hyped for
Trixie x Rhas ♡
Cadance will be all over em
Poor Twilight
Archivment Desaster obtained
Your right, i do love it
robot voice go
30 seconds later
Not as funny as the later seasons with the robot voice but funny enough
Only the Bed was probably ruined. That very civil considering the future Seasons
Guess the two never considered Twilight phobia, than again, mentioning it might have make them behave earlier.
