Greetings, one and all and welcome to the next chapter of Quest For Equestria: Harmonic Heroes. Original I wanted to name this chapter 'I Know What You Did Last Slumber Party', but it was too long, oh well. I still hope you all enjoy this as much as I had writing it. Now on to the review.

kyrogue23: He kinda is, though at least he doesn't brag about it. As for the songs for the main five, Skywalker's would be His World (Zebrahead version)/Knight Of The Wind (by Crush 40), McGrath's would be Never Turn Back (by Crush 40), Griffifth's would be Monster Inside (by NateWantsToBattle), Phoenix's would be Let It Go (NateWantsToBattle version), Sutakira's would be I'm a believer (from Haikyuu! (sung by Amalee)), the Harmonic Heroes as a whole Heroes (by Aviators), and for Morgenstern With Me (Crush 40 version)/His World (Crush 40 version).

Anyways, on to the story.


"Come on, just answer the question!", Phoenix said to McGrath as the both of them walked through Ponyville. McGrath gave him an annoyed groan "For the last time, I do not like any of our friends like that!" he said without giving his friend a chance to respond, he continued, "It's weird enough that people with our vast different and diverse personality and interest are friends at all. It's down right crazy to want to mate with them.". Phoenix crossed his arms, gave him a questioning look and a tilted head, "Then why would I want to bone some of them? Besides I never see you give a girl the light of day!" he said back, thinking he made a valid argument. "Because your Kyle Yveltal Phoenix. And I don't have time for girls." McGrath responded annoyed.

Suddenly he felt something wet dripping on his nose. Looking up the duo noticed it had slowly started to rain, it started to pour down harder and harder by the second. They had wondered off too far form their own house for quick shelter. Thinking of another options the duo noticed the Golden Oak Library. Both made a mad dash for Twilight's house, Phoenix arriving first because of his longer legs and quickly knocking on the door. "Who is it?" Twilight's voice came from the other side of the door. "Moody and Kyle!" Phoenix said, gaining a angry glare from McGrath for calling him 'Moody', "Can we take shelter here until the storm calms down?". The door opens to reveal Twilight, dressed in her lavender pajama's, "Come inside, guys, quick." she took a step aside to let them in.

The guys quickly entered as Twilight quickly closes the door behind them. "Come to think of it, is it really the best place to be inside a tree during a lightning storm?", a drenched McGrath asked, taking his shoes off. Twilight chuckled and winked at him, "It is if you have a magical lightning rod protecting your home like I do." she said leading them into the living room, "Come on in, AJ and Rarity are here too!"

And as they enter the living room, they indeed saw Applejack and Rarity sitting on the couch. "Hallo there ladies! Aren't you two a sight for sore eyes." Phoenix said waving at them, gaining a smile from them and a friendly greeting as he quickly grabbed the back of McGrath's shirt, who had turned to leave at the sight of Rarity. "Anyways, thanks for letting us stay here, Archmage!", he said turning to Twilight, "No, problem Kyle." who gives him a nod, before asking why he called her Archmage.

"Oh, I have the habit of giving nicknames to people I like.", the red head explained, "For example, your Archmage, AJ is Pome, Rarity is Diva and McGrath is Moody.", giving those names as an example. "If I have to spend time with Rarity, I can't be held responsible for when people are going to die.", McGrath thought to himself as he stood in the door, shivering a little, because of his wet clothes. "McGrath are you okay?" Twilight asked, giving him a worried look, "You can take a shower if you need to warm up, if you want.". McGrath gave her suspicious before nodding, "I guess I'll do that.", he said as Twilight led him upstairs.

"Some storm, huh?" Twilight said after she returned, taking a seat next to Phoenix. "The Seraph sure have outdone themselves this time.". Phoenix gave her a nod, "Yeah, you can say that again!", stretches himself, placing both arms behind his neck. "Aren't ya cold, Kyle?" Applejack asked, the red haired boy smiled at her question. "Cold never bothered me anyway.", he said as he conjured a small fire ball around himself and started to dry is clothes.

"I hope you, McGrath, Rarity and AJ don't have any trouble getting home." Twilight said as she looked out the window. "It may indeed be a problem." Rarity responded. "Well, you're welcome to stay if need be." Twilight offered, Phoenix looked around and notice someone missing. "Hey by the by, were is Charmander?" he asked, looking for any sign of Spike.

"Spike is away in Canterlot on royal business. I'm home all alone tonight." Twilight answered, her eyes winded as she gained a idea "You, McGrath, Rarity and AJ should totally sleep over! We'll have a slumber party! I've always wanted one of those." she said excited, using her magic to look for a certain book. "Oh! Uh, goodness." Rarity said thinking up an excuse, "Uh, I do believe I have another engagement scheduled for this evening that completely slipped my mind until just now. I can't possibly stay here all night..." she said before Twilight held up a book.

"Slumber 101: All You've Ever Wanted to Know About Slumber Parties But Were Afraid to Ask." Phoenix reads out loud, "That's an actual book?"

Twilight beamed as she proudly continued, "My own personal copy. It's a fantastic reference guide. You should see the table of contents. I've been waiting for a chance to use it, and today is the day! This is gonna be so great!" she said smiling at them as she went to her room to get Rarity and Applejack sleep attire.

"I'm not staying if he's here. Honestly, Kyle I cannot understand why someone like you could be friends with him.", Rarity said, referring to McGrath, during the past few weeks, their relationship had been less than... okay. "Moody is not so bad once you get to know him." Phoenix said. "Well he is always in a bad mood and just plain rude to me.", the fashionista continued. "I guess your wondering why he is that dickish to you, am I right?", he asked, Rarity looked at him for a second before looking away again but she didn't say anything. "It's because what you did the second day after we arrived. You asked him to go shopping with you. You expected him to drop whatever he was doing and go with you. McGrath doesn't like taking order's like that."

"I was just trying to get a connection..." she mumbled.

"Tell you what, if you get his clothes, I'll dry them and you can tell him you did it as some sort of peace offering.", Phoenix suggested Rarity looked up, giving him a nod and headed upstairs.

Slowly walking upstairs on the tip of her toes, Rarity silently entered the bathroom. She spotted McGrath's clothes hanging from a rack. As she sneaked over to them, her mouth fell at what she saw. Under the shower was a completely naked McGrath, his normally stiff spiky brown hair was laying alluringly down on his shoulders. His decently muscular body with its pale skin shone from the hot water pouring down on him, there was not a single hair to be found on his body.

Rarity was helped out of her staring as McGrath opened his eyes, his emerald greens looking into her sapphire blue's. For a moment, both blushed at the situation, none knowing what to say before McGrath became angry, "Get out!" he shouted, Rarity quickly left the bath room and heading back downstairs.


Downstairs, Phoenix, Twilight and Applejack sat around a circle telling each other ghost stories. The blonde dressed in a simple lavender shirt and black shorts. Rarity took a seat between Applejack and Twilight, still blushing furiously. "What happened? You okay?" Phoenix asked, but Rarity didn't respond, she was stuck in her own little world, fantasizing about the hottie she had just seen as a strong blush creeped over her pale cheeks.

"So what are we doing?" McGrath asked, dressed back in his jeans and shirt as he came down from the stairs, snapping Rarity out of her thoughts, he took a seat next to Phoenix. "We're telling ghost story." Twilight said, looking at Rarity then back at him. "Okay. I've got one of those. This story is called 'The Licked Hand'." McGrath said as Rarity led out a annoyed moan. "Seriously? That one isn't even real, it's made up.", Rarity complained.

"It is a ghost story, they're all made up!", McGrath snapped at her before clearing his throat and turning his attention back to the group, "Anyways, a young girl is home alone for the first time with only her dog for company." McGrath said as the lights go out and suddenly he shines on his face with a flashlight. "Listening to the radio, she hears of a serial killer on the loose, so she locks all the doors and windows and goes to bed, taking her dog to her room with her and letting it sleep under her bed." he paused, taking in the face's of the group, "She wakes in the night and hears a dripping sound coming from the bathroom. The dripping sound annoys her, and she actually finds it unsettling, for some reason. The bedside lamp doesn't work, and she is too scared to get out of bed to turn on the main light, and walk over to the bathroom. So she hides under the covers, but to reassure herself that the dog is still under the bed she puts her hand down and feels licking on her hand. She lies awake for some time listening to the dripping sound and periodically puts her hand down to where she can hear heavy breathing and each time feels gentle licks on her fingers. Eventually she falls asleep." he paused again, Twilight, Rarity and Applejack listening to his tale.

"The next morning when she wakes, she goes to the bathroom for a drink of water. On the shower wall, written in blood are the words 'HUMANS CAN LICK TOO', and her slaughtered dog is hanging from the shower head, its blood, now thick and dark, still dripping into the bathtub!" McGrath concluded sending shivers down the girls spine. "G-Ghost story, check. Don't tell this one to Fluttershy." Twilight said, checking off her list, before giving everybody a smile, "Now, who wants s'mores?"

"The bloody hell is a s'mores.", McGrath asked.


The night continued, and McGrath and Rarity kept arguing with each other until the group decided to hit the hay. Rarity changed into a lavender night dress, borrowed from Twilight, who used her magic conjured up a second bed. Phoenix insisted that the girls would take it, he and McGrath would take a sleeping bag, though the brunette said he didn't care.

After while after the lights go out, Rarity rolled to her side to look over the sleeping form of McGrath. She thought that even when he was asleep, he was scowling. It was then that she noticed that he was looking back at her, clearly awake. "Yes?" he hissed, making her quickly look away, traveling down his body, "Hey! My eyes are up here!"

"Shut up!" Phoenix groaned, "Some people are trying to sleep!", rolling around to look at them. "I hope you're happy, both of you." Twilight said, angry for the first time, "Your hostility against each other is ruining my very first slumber party." McGrath gave a sigh, sitting straight up, "Okay, we're all adults here so we can find a simple solution to this problem." he got to his feet and walks over to his pile of clothes. "Do you mean..." Phoenix asked as McGrath took a small plastic bag out of his jeans. "Yes, my pretties are ready.", McGrath said with an evil smirk.


An hour later, the group is back in the living room, laying around in a circle giggling. Rarity gave out a giggle as McGrath stroked her hair, "This is what you were making in the basement? It feels good." Rarity purred, giggling all the while. "Yeah. I know." McGrath said, completely chill. "How does it feel?" he asked the others.

Applejack is trying to catch something out of the air, but there isn't anything but smoke "I.. don't... feel anything!", the blonde said, before breaking down in laughter. "I feel funny!", Twilight laughed as she rolled over the floor up to Phoenix who is devouring s'mores. "Kind of feels good doesn't it?" he said making Twilight giggle.

"Is.. is this real life?" Rarity asked McGrath, who gave her a mischievous grin. Without much of a warning, he planted a kiss on her mouth, Rarity was surprised at first, but quickly started to return the kiss. They held it on for a few minutes, before having to break apart for air but they kept cuddling. "Yeah. This is real life." Rarity said, laying her head on his chest. "So..." Twilight started, "Nightmare Night is going to be soon... What are you going to dress up as?" she said as she rolled on her stomach down on her back. "I'm not gonna dress up in a million years." McGrath said as she stroke Rarity's hair, gaining a few purrs from her.

"Why not?" Applejack questioned. "Well, I never really told anyone about this..." McGrath started, finding it difficult to put to words, "But uh... I have costuphobia.", he admitted as Rarity looked him in the eye. "You mean you're afraid of being charged money for things, darling?" she asked, blinking a few times.

"No, I just have an irrational fear of people dressing up as fictional characters." McGrath explained, continuing to stroke her hair, "You see, when I was young my parents dressed me up as Sailor Moon. As a joke no less! Let's just say it messed me up. Sometimes I wonder if that's why I'm so evil." finished as he looked away. "But cosplaying is so much fun!" Phoenix interjected but McGrath interrupted him, "Try telling that to all the Sailor Scouts I murdered."
