Hey, everypony! :D If you read my message at the end of my latest fanfic, you'll know that I've been planning a RainbowDashxPinkiePie fanfic (which, if you're wondering, is completely unrelated to my last fanfic in plot lines). Well, here it is! :D It's based on Rihanna's song 'California King Bed', thus the title, with maybe some other songs stuck in there. :3 Anyway, I hope you enjoy it! :D (P.S. Pinkie Pie will break the fourth wall with her song choice. Don't blame me, Pinkie Pie will do what Pinkie Pie does. XD)
Prologue
The two ponies had been best friends for so long. It seemed that everyday they seemed to like each other more, though everyday beforehand, such large amounts of affection seemed impossible. But their friendship had also seemed impossible. One was a headstrong, athletic and proud pegasus, and the other was a party-loving, cupcake-making hyperactive earth pony. They had very little in common. It had seemed that way to Rainbow Dash when they first met, as well. However, after she discovered Pinkie Pie's love for pranks, they had more to talk about, and their bond grew tighter, and before anypony knew it, they were inseparable. However, it took them both a while to realise their true feelings for each other. It was on the last Nightmare Night. Rainbow Dash had been persuaded into trick-or-treating by Pinkie Pie, and had therefore picked a Shadowbolt costume made by Rarity for the occasion, while Pinkie Pie to go as a giant cupcake, though her excitement and jumping caused her to fall over repeatedly, much to the amusement of Rainbow Dash. They both had a good time, however, as Pinkie Pie was a fan of the treat element, while Rainbow Dash covered the trick element for the few ponies that refused them candy, much to the giggles and applauds of Pinkie Pie as every Nightmare Night neighsayer's house was covered with toilet paper drenched in glue, or frightened by crowds of lightning striking their home. They laughed the whole night through, enjoying each other's company. However, when the night was done, they were both sad at the thought of leaving each other after such a great night. It was then that Pinkie Pie came up with the good idea of a sleepover at her room on the top floor of Sugarcube Corner. However, Rainbow Dash rejected that, thinking about the fact that they would be loud and excitable, and Mr and Mrs Cake were probably asleep, along with their little fillies, and they didn't want to wake them up. Rainbow Dash instead brought up the idea of sleeping in her house in Cloudsdale. But then she remembered that Pinkie Pie was an earth pony, and couldn't stand on clouds. They then saw Twilight Sparkle walking around with Spike, carrying a bag full of books and writing a report to Princess Celestia, as per usual. The two ponies rushed towards her, the same thing in their minds.
"Hey, you two! Are you enjoying Nightmare Night? The historical background I've been finding out about it is really inte-"
She was interrupted by the two excited ponies.
"Twilight!"
Twilight was shocked by the outburst, and jumped up in the air. She soon settled down, however.
"What is it?"
Rainbow Dash spoke first.
"Can you fix up one of your spell things so Pinkie Pie can go to Cloudsdale with me for a sleepover?"
Pinkie Pie beamed at her gratefully, hoping for a positive answer, which she received.
"Sure, I think I can. How long do you need it to last for?"
They glanced at each other, then Rainbow Dash turned to Twilight Sparkle.
"Urr...the whole night."
Twilight Sparkle looked shocked.
"The whole night? I don't know if I can do that..."
"Come on, Twilight!"
"Pretty please with sprinkles and cake and Cherry Changa's on top?"
Twilight sighed.
"Fine, I'll try it."
With that, she took a large spell book from her bag and began to use her magic to flick through the pages without touching it, until she came to the right page.
"Ah, yes. Here it is."
She turned to Pinkie Pie, and then pointed her horn at the carefree earth pony, and started to repeat incantations as her horn glowed brightly. After a few minutes of concentration, Twilight Sparkle stopped, panting.
"I...think...that's done it."
"Yay! Thank you, Twilight!"
She hugged Twilight tightly, but was soon dragged off by Rainbow Dash, who took her by the tail with her mouth as Rainbow Dash soared upwards, and Pinkie Pie was forced to follow, though she wasn't complaining. They soon arrived at Cloudsdale. The whole town was covered with Nightmare Night decorations, from black and blue pictures of Nightmare Moon, to baskets of free candy hanging outside homes. Pinkie Pie spent another hour or so revelling in the beauty of it all, until, eventually, after a slow walk there, the pair arrived at Rainbow Dash's house, large and white, in all it's beauty. Pinkie Pie ooh-ed as Rainbow Dash flew her over to the house, and then opened the door. They didn't leave the house for the rest of the night since that moment. They told scary stories, shared secrets and talked about their favourite things. They danced, and sang, and laughed the night away. But they also shared serious conversations, such as 'Why are we here?' and 'What's our purpose?'. Though most of Pinkie Pie's responses involved some mention of cake and joy, so Rainbow Dash decided that wasn't the best topic to talk to her about. Still, they must have found many things to talk about, as neither pony slept a wink throughout that entire night. However, neither felt tired, both caught up in the excitement of the feeling that all of Equestria was laid out in front of them, and they could do anything they wanted to, if only for one night. They had sleepovers often after that, always at Rainbow Dash's house, much to the exhaustion and annoyance of Twilight Sparkle, who was left to figure out a more permanent spell. However, because of this, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash seemed to grow closer, and so Twilight didn't feel that her hard work was going to waste. Their sleepovers became so normal to them that it was routine to have a sleepover once a week, each with it's own themes. One night, a few months later from Nightmare Night, the pair decided to have a karaoke night. Rainbow Dash spent most of the night singing songs related to flying, such as Been Dreaming, an extended version of the small part she sung when thinking of the Grand Galloping Gala. Pinkie Pie, however, sung a variety of songs that she'd sung before, and a collection of songs that Rainbow Dash had never heard before. They all had fun and laughed a lot, not caring about how they sounded or looked, as they knew nopony could judge them from their sanctuary. The last song that they enjoyed that night was one chosen by Pinkie Pie. The karaoke machine didn't have it stored, so she decided to sing it acapella, while using her usual showmanship to dance around the laughing blue pegasus.

After that, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash decided to settle down for the night and try to actually sleep for once on one of their sleepovers. However, just as Pinkie Pie was making her way to the double bed, her hooves started to sink through the floor, followed by her legs. It was at that point that Pinkie Pie noticed it.
"Dashie!"
Rainbow Dash turned around, but by that point, Pinkie Pie had almost sunk down completely. Rainbow Dash rushed to her in the hopes of pulling her up, but it was too late. She was falling, her messy hair becoming even more messy with the gusts of wind that traveled in her direction. She was helpless to do anything, yet she struggled as the ground came closer...and closer...and closer. Rainbow Dash soared under Pinkie Pie, blocking her way to the ground, and grabbed her, having accelerated down from her house at top speed. She held Pinkie Pie in her arms as she started to slow down. At first, Rainbow Dash was worried, but then, as she cuddled onto her precious friend, she felt something more. She didn't really understand what it was, but Rainbow Dash wasn't the type to shy away. If this is what she wanted, then she'd get it, no matter what. With that thought, Rainbow Dash kissed Pinkie Pie as she spread her wings to slow their fall. Pinkie Pie was surprised at first, but then she smiled through the kiss, as if she had waited for this night, and began to kiss back. They glided in the air as they kissed, that moment seeming to last a lifetime, as if it was taking it's time on etching the poetic moment into their memories, making sure that it would last them the rest of their lives.
