It was a cold rainy winter's night. Twilight had decided to have her second slumber party and invite all of her friends. She decided she would dress appropriately for the cold weather. After dressing into her night gown and long socks, she decided to go down stairs to wait for her friends.

"Hey Spike." Twilight said as she hopped on to the couch. Spike looked up and saw her beautiful attire.

"Wow Twilight, you're taking this cold weather easily." He said with a grin. Twilight smiled at his statement.

"I know, it's just so cold out. I want to be snug and warm tonight."

The doorbell rang and twilight heard voices outside, they must have all come at the same time. She opened the door to see her friends wet and cold, yet smiling with excitement of the upcoming night. Pinkie Pie was the first to rush in to the warm lobby. She was shivering.

"Oh my girls, I'm sorry." apologized Twilight. "Spike, can you go get some towels?"

"Sure thing Twilight!" Spike put his jewel dinner on the table and dashed up the stairs. Rarity was the second to enter the library

"Ugh, I'm so icky" she said with a disgusted look on her face. She looked up at Spikes dinner "such a waste of beautiful jewels." She continued. Fluttershy entered the room and shook herself dry.

"Hello twilight, oh don't you look pretty." She smiled and squeed. Twilight blushed and gave a shy smile. She then looked at the door and realized Applejack and Rainbow Dash Had yet to enter.

"Hold on, where's AJ and Dash?" she asked confusingly.

"They said they were going to go get something for the party!" hopped pinkie.

Twilight shook her head "It's a sleep over." Pinkie hopped in a circle around her.

"There the same thing silly!"

There was another knock at the door. Twilight knew it was Applejack and Rainbow Dash. She rushed to the door and opened it quickly. Indeed it was the two mares but something seemed different. Applejack had a pack hoisted over her loin and Rainbow Dash was acting more silly than usual.

"Hey there sugar cube!" Applejack said followed by a wink. Rainbow Dash stumbled in without a hello or any acknowledgement of Twilight's presence.

"What's wrong with Dash?" Twilight whispered to Applejack. The orange pony Giggled and pulled out a bottle half filled with urine colored liquid.

"She just had some of this" replied Applejack. Twilight cheeks expanded in disgust.

"Eww eww eww why would she drink that?" Twilight screamed. Applejack shook her head.

"You ain't ever have this kind of party huh?" she said in a comforting voice. Twilight looked confused. She thought she had been to all kinds of parties.

"You mean like a Pinkie Pie party?" she stated. Applejack smiled sweetly.

"Good girl" AJ replied.

Spike tumbled down the stairs followed by a heap of towels.

"Oww" he said holding his forehead. Fluttershy was the first to attend to Spike.

"Aww you poor baby, are you okay?" she asked sweetly.

"Yeah I'm okay, thank you." He replied as Fluttershy helped him up.

"Thank you for the towels Spike." Twilight couldn't help but feel guilty. "Tell you what." She continued "You can have the rest of the night to yourself; I won't ask you for any more tonight". Spike was confused.

"Are you sure Twilight?" asked Spike.

"Of course Spike, you have done enough for me tonight." She replied with a smile. Spike felt as if Twilight was trying to get rid of him, but he didn't want to drag the situation on anymore. He just wanted to finish his dinner. After a few more bites of his ruby dish he ran up the stairs for his night alone.

"Alrighty y'all, you ready for my special apple juice?" whispered Applejack as she pulled out several bottles of the strange liquid.

"I'm always ready for more" flared Dash whilst taking a bottle from AJ.

"Hold it partner." Applejack snatched the bottle from Dash. "I think you have had enough for now." Rainbow dash had an upset look on her face. Twilight couldn't understand what was so good about a bottle of apple juice. Applejack looked at Twilight and handed her the bottle she took from Rainbow Dash.

"Pace yourself slowly Twilight, y'all will thank me later." As of now Twilight was filled with both curiosity and confusion. So despite all of her doubts she took a sip.

"Bleh!" Twilight didn't expect that the apple juice would burn. "What exactly is this stuff Applejack?"

"Oh it's just a little concoction I made in my barn. It's safe, I promise." Knowing that Applejack was loyal and honest, she decided to take her word for it. Twilight prepared for her next sip. As she stared at her drink, she saw Pinky Pie chug her whole bottle out of the corner of her eye. So Twilight licked her lips

"Here goes nothing." She said. She closed her eyes and took a bigger sip this time. To her surprise it didn't taste as bad as the first sip. It was actually pretty tasty once she got past the burn. Applejack was slowly but steadily drinking her strange juice. Twilight's focus changed as soon as Rainbow Dash spoke to her for the first time that night.

"So Twilight, do you have a special Colt?" She leaned forward, seeming very interested in what Twilight's response would be.

"You mean like a colt-friend?" Twilight asked.

"Well duh!" she giggled. "So do ya?"

Twilight sat and thought. "Well no, but I do like a certain colt." She smiled hoping that's what Dash wanted to hear.

"Well who is it?" Dash asked.

Twilight sat there and looked at her friends. She had no idea if she should tell them who her mysterious crush was. "Do you girls really want to know?" she asked nervously.

"You can tell us anything dear" smiled Rarity. Twilight took a deep breath.

"Okay. I have the biggest crush on Big Macintosh." She looked to the floor feeling ashamed. Rainbow Dash fell over laughing. Twilight was too scared to look over at Applejack.

"Honey, that's no big deal." Applejack said softly as she put her hoof on her shoulder. "Lots of gals like my brother, I'm not mad." Twilight looked up at AJ and smiled.

"I can't believe you like Big Mac!" Rainbow Dash was laughing so hard she began to cry.

"It's okay Twilight" quietly spoke Fluttershy. "I understand, he's a cute colt." She gave a comforting look to Twilight.

"Thanks girls, I'm glad I got that off my chest." Twilight had finished half of her bottle and began to feel a little funny. She didn't question it however; she just decided to enjoy herself. After several hours of mindless talk they began to fall asleep one by one.
