Twilight looks at the broken bed, then at the three still standing beds. She looks at the rest of us and says, "I don't think anyone wants to sleep on a broken bed, so we'll all have to share." She looks at me and asks, "Pinkie, do you want to share the left bed with me?"
Oh my gosh. She asked me to sleep in the same bed as her.
"Pinkie?"
Sharing a bed with my crush, what more could I want.
"Pinkie?"
I bet she is really cute when she's sleeping.
"PINKIE!"
I shake my head to clear my mind and reply, "Yes, Twilight?"
"Do you want to share a bed or not?" Twilight asks, a little annoyed.
I sheepishly reply, "Yes."
Twilight trots to the left side of our bed and I go to the right, leaving our friends to decide their own sleeping arrangements.
Oh, there are so many things I want to do with you. This is gonna be so much fun!
When I get to the bed, it hits me, I'm gonna be sharing a bed with my crush.
Oh fiddlesticks, I can't do anything with Twilight, she obviously didn't mean it like that. What am I going to do?
I notice Twilight is already on the bed and staring at me. She asks, "Are you sure you're fine with sharing a bed with me? You seem a bit distracted, more than usual."
I look at her and smile. "Yes Twilight."
You got this Pinkie Pie. All you have to do is lie down next to your crush and not think about her.
I get in the bed and we both get comfortable, facing away from each other. Oh, who am I kidding, of course I'm gonna think about her.
I turn over and watch as the blanket above Twilight slowly moves up and down. She does look really cute laying there.
About ten minutes later, I decide I can't take it anymore.
What should I do? Is this a good time to ask her? How do I ask? What if she says no and doesn't want to be my friend anymore?
I start tearing up at this thought but stop myself. That's silly, Twilight wouldn't do that, right?
Come on Pinkie, get yourself together, you can do this. Just think.
I could try cuddling up next to her. No, that might startle her and make her uncomfortable.
I could just ask her out. But what if she says no, then this whole night would be really awkward, and I'd probably need to sleep on the floor.
Maybe I can ask her about it indirectly and get her opinion on it. She does give good advice. Yea.
I poke Twilight's back and softly whisper, "Twilight, can I ask you something?"
She looks over at me before slowly turning over to face me. She whispers, "Sure, does it have to do with how you've been acting?"
I answer, "Yes, I'm sorry about how I've been acting, I need some advice. Think you could help me?" I give her a small smile.
Twilight smiles at me and says, "Sure, what's troubling you?"
I reply in a hushed, rapid voice, "Well you see I have a really big crush on one of my friends and I don't know how she would react to me asking her out. I don't want her to freak out and not want to be my friend anymore, but it's hard to hide my feelings for such a great pony much longer."
Twilight takes a moment to process my words and replies, "Well, I think if this pony really is your friend, then she wouldn't abandon your friendship because you have a crush on them. Besides, you never know, she might even like you back. And if you're scared of asking her out, you could make a small move of showing affection and see how she reacts. Do something small that sends the message I really like you."
"Thanks, Twilight, you're the best," I say as I go in to give her a super-duper hug.
As we hug, she responds, "You're welcome, Pinkie."
That's a great idea, ill give her a small peck on the cheek after this hug and hope it goes well.
I hold the hug for a bit before I slowly pull away. You got this. I turn my head to the right and plant a small, tender kiss on her cheek before leaning back down on the bed.
I give her my best smile as I watch the red form in her cheeks. She looks at me and says, "I had a feeling you were talking about me."
I ask, a little nervous, "What do you think? Do you want to go out with me?"
She replies, "Yes," as she leans down and kisses my cheek.
I start blushing hard. I was about to start singing when Twilight silenced me with a hoof, "Shh, you don't want to wake our friends, right?"
I reply, "No, thank you."
Twilight hugs me. This is so great!
I return the hug and say, "Thank you, Twilight, you're the best."
We both enjoy the hug and Twilight says, "No problem, Pinkie."
We end the hug and both lie down facing each other. We lie in silence for a few minutes before I start having a mini party. I move my legs in slow dance-like motions to be quiet and still have fun. A few seconds later, Twilight giggles and joins in on my little rave.
Twilight smiles at me and I smile back.
I quietly sing to her.
"Twilight is my bestest friend
"Whoopie, whoopie!
"She's the cutest, smartest, all-around best pony, pony!
"I bet if I throw a super-duper fun party, party!
"She'll give her love to me!"
Twilight says blushing, "Pinkie, that was really sweet."
I look at her and blush, we lock eyes. I stare into her beautiful purple eyes. She slowly moves closer to me, and I do the same.
We kiss. Her lips feel amazing against mine. So soft and welcoming. This is so great, I don't think this night could have gone better. I might be about to cry.
And that's just what I do when the kiss is over.
Twilight notices and asks in a worried tone, "Why are you crying? What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?"
"No, these are tears of joy," I say.
She hugs me. I hug back, letting my tears flow. Once my tears are done, I leave the hug and look at Twilight.
She looks at me and says, "I don't know about you, but that party tuckered me out, let's get some sleep for the festival tomorrow."
"Same, let's go to bed," I reply.
She turns over and lays her head on the pillow. A few minutes later, I slowly lay next to her and put my leg over her, holding her.
She lifts her head and looks at me. I start moving away, apologizing, "I'm sorry I didn't m–"
Twilight interrupts me, "It's okay, Pinkie, I liked it."
I let out a sigh of relief and snuggle up to her, laying my head on her mane.
She takes my hoof in hers and holds it.
I kiss the back of her neck and whisper, "Goodnight, Twilight."
I watch as Twilight and Pinkie go to their bed. I look at Fluttershy and notice she's looking at me. It looks like she has the same idea as me.
"Fluttershy, wanna bunk with me?" I ask her.
She replies, "Sure, Rainbow Dash."
I trot to the left side of the middle bed, it looks to be the smallest bed of the three. I'll let Rarity and Applejack have the big bed, me and Fluttershy can handle being a bit cramped.
I watch Fluttershy get in the bed from the right side, then get in myself. We face away from each other, our backs are pressed together from how small the bed is. The warmth of her back feels nice against mine.
"Night Fluttershy," I whisper.
"Goodnight Dashie," She whispers back.
I lay there, not able to clear my mind, distracted by the events of the day. What is up with this town? It doesn't even look like there is a festival, shouldn't stuff already be setup? I hope this isn't a trick to get us out here. I'm sure we could handle it, I mean I am here.
I was so lost in thought I barely notice Fluttershy turn over in the bed.
I definitely do notice her scoot really close to me, laying her head on the back of my neck. It's fine, she probably just wasn't comfortable in the other position.
I continue my train of thought. We need to talk to the mayor tomorrow. He should be able to tell us what's going on. I'm sure it's all just a misunderstanding and the festival will be awesome, like me.
I stop my train of thought when I realize, I feel calmer. Like everything was going to be alright, somehow. I look down and see Fluttershy had put her hoof over me and was holding me. When did she do that?
I listen to her breathing for a few seconds and determine she is probably asleep. I'll leave it, she probably did it in her sleep, and I don't want to disturb her. Besides it kinda feels nice.
I yawn. Time to try to get some sleep.
I lay there and eventually fall asleep.
I wake up feeling safe and secure. This blanket sure is cozy and warm.
Wait a second, this blanket wasn't this nice when I fell asleep. I look down and notice it's not the blanket keeping me warm, it's Fluttershy wing outstretched over me. I blush.
How long ago did she do that? Was it an accident? Was she asleep? What do I do? I can't just ignore it, can I?
I can feel her heartbeat against my back. I lay there for a minute just listening to the rhythmic sound. This is rather soothing.
Fluttershy catches me off guard, asking, "Dashie, are you awake?"
I reply after a few seconds of haze, "Yes."
I can feel her heartbeat rise. She sighs and says, "I'm sorry."
I turn my head to get a look at her. She retreats her wing and hoof, so I can turn over and look at her face to face.
I ask, "For what?"
She replies a few seconds later, "For cuddling you and making you uncomfortable."
I take a few seconds to respond, thinking about what to say for a change. This means she likes me, right? I did like cuddling. I should be honest about it.
I respond in a slow whisper, "I never said I was uncomfortable, I actually liked it."
She looks at me surprised, "You did?"
I look away and say, "I have a hard time with all this mushy stuff."
She puts her hoof on mine and I look at her again.
She says, "Take your time."
I take a moment to gather my thoughts.
I did enjoy her cuddling me.
Fluttershy is really pretty.
If it was going to be anyone, I am glad it's Fluttershy.
I think I'm more than fine with trying this out.
Yea, I'll do it.
I say, "I really liked it. It made me feel safe and protected." I start to blush. She starts to blush as well.
I ask, "So's this mean you want to go out with me?"
She responds, "Yes."
I say, "Then yes, I want to go out with you too."
She hugs me and I hug back, holding her tight. This feels right.
Once the hug is over, we lay facing each other for a few minutes until I yawn.
I say, "I'm getting tired, we should sleep."
She replies, "Okay, Dashie."
I fidget a bit and look at my hooves. "Do you think you could hold me again like earlier while we sleep?"
She smiles. "Absolutely."
I hug her. "You're the best Fluttershy."
When the hug is over, I turn over to face away from Fluttershy. She snuggles up behind me and puts her hoof over top of me, then slowly outstretches her wing to cover me.
"Thank you," I whisper.
"Your welcome," She whispers back.
I stroke her hoof with mine and whisper, "Goodnight."
Fluttershy replies, "Goodnight."
As I lay there in Fluttershy's embrace, I think, I could get used to this.
I watch Rainbow and Fluttershy go to their bed, then turn to Applejack. "Shall we?"
She looks at me and says, "Sure."
I trot to the left side of the right bed and use my magic to fix the sheets and blanket that Applejack messed up earlier from jumping on the bed. Once done, I slowly get in and notice Applejack does the same. How considerate.
We get comfortable and end up facing each other.
Applejack whispers, "Goodnight, Rarity."
I reply, "Goodnight, Applejack."
Just before Applejack closes her eyes, I think, Applejack sure does have beautiful eyes.
I close my own eyes and try to sleep.
I wake up sometime later to Applejack sleeping with her head on my chest, holding me tight. Somepony has been busy in her sleep.
I try to wiggle free, but Applejack has a strong hold on me. I eventually give up and decide to try to go back to sleep. I'll leave it.
As I'm trying to sleep, I hear Applejack mumble in her sleep, "Rarity stay."
I blush. Maybe we should have a little talk tomorrow.
I whisper to Applejack as she slumbers on me, "Sweet dreams."
I woke up in the middle of the night. I couldn't quite remember the dream I was having, but I vaguely recall Rarity being in it. I notice my pillow is slowly rising and falling, and open my eyes to see I had replaced my pillow with Rarity in my sleep. I blush, then let go of her and move back to my side of the bed. Maybe that's why I was dreaming of Rarity, I was sleepin' on her.
I decide to forget the whole incident and go back to bed. As I'm laying there, I can't help but feel distant, like something is missing that was there just moments ago.
I woke up again sometime later. This time not to me laying on Rarity, but Rarity cuddlin' me something fierce. She had herself pressed against my back, her hoof holding my chest, an' her tail tucked between my legs. How'd she done all this without waking me?
My heartbeat rises and I blush. She sure is close.
I can tell she is still asleep by her slowed breathing. Was she asleep while she did this?
What should I do? I could try to get free, but that'd probably wake her up. I could just go back to sleep and let her freak out when she wakes up. Yea, I think I'll do that. Besides, it does kinda feel nice being held.
I close my eyes and try to sleep, as I'm laying there I hear Rarity mumble something, "Applejack, I lo…"
What kind of dream is she having? It almost sounded like she was going to say I love you.
I blush. That can't be, right? It is just a dream, I'm sure we'll laugh about this whole thing tomorrow.
My sleep was rather nice after that. Unbeknownst to me at the time, I had found the distant thing I gave up when I was trying to go back to sleep earlier, or more precisely, it found me.
I wake up sometime later in a blur. I immediately notice I'm very close to something, opening my eyes, I realize it's Applejack. I'm cuddling her and have my tail wrapped between her legs. Oh my, how did I do this?
I try to retreat my hoof from holding Applejack, but I can't. She is holding onto it. What do I do? I'll just have to pull my leg out and hope it doesn't wake her.
I go for it and fail.
"Huh, what's going on," I hear Applejack say.
"I would be glad to talk about it, but first could you let go of my hoof," I say.
"Oh, uh sure, sorry about that," she replies as she lets go of my hoof. I let go of her, and she turns to face me.
"No, I'm the one who should be sorry I accidentally was cuddling you in my sleep," I say as Applejack turns over to face me.
"Don't fret it none Rarity, I did the same earlier in my sleep too, sorry," Applejack says.
"I may have noticed, and didn't do anything about it," I say as a blush forms on my cheeks.
Applejack blushes and says, "I noticed you all over me and did nothing as well. Tell you the truth, I kinda liked it."
My blush deepens. "You did?"
Applejack says sheepishly, "Yes, you wouldn't happen to have liked it too?"
I smile slyly. "I might have."
She gives me a serious look and says, "Did ya or didn't ya?"
I answer, "Yes, I did like it."
She asks, "Well, what now?"
I ask, "Applejack, how would you like to go out with me?"
She replies with a smile, "I think I'd like that."
I hug her and say, "Oh Applejack, this is wonderful."
She hugs back, saying, "Sure is."
Once the hug is over, Applejack says, "I'm a might bit tired, we should try to get some sleep."
I blush, asking, "I concur, although do you think we might be able to cuddle while we fall asleep?"
Applejack smiles and says, "sure thing, sugarcube."
Applejack opens her hooves and I scoot close to her, I lay my head on her and she holds me. I very much like this.
"Goodnight, Applejack," I say.
Applejack kisses my head and says, "Goodnight, Rarity."
