I'm back baby!

-Manic Mornings-

Pinkie Pie woke up early, way too early for vacation. She looked at what was snuggled up against her back, thinking that Maude might have climbed in to bed with her. When she saw Twilight Sparkle there, her face buried in Pinkie's hair, Pinkie remembered what was happening and why she had forced herself out of her dream. She could recall bits and pieces of it. Something about three teenagers from out of town…?

Whatever. That wasn't important. What was important was the reason she woke up so early. Her pills had to be stashed somewhere other than a pile of clothes. Pinkie slinked out from beneath the covers of the bed and tip toes to her bag on the floor. There she slipped out the orange pill bottle and shook out her daily prescription, popping them into her mouth and dry swallowing them. She knew she had to take them before she forgot, otherwise nobody would have fun this vacation.

Pinkie grabbed a change of clothes to explain her disappearance of Twilight were to ask, and made headway for the bathroom. Before she could even get to the knob, it was turned from the other side and out came Apple Jack, pulling her hat down on her hair. AJ's sudden exit surprised Pinkie and they bumped into each other, making everything in both girls' hands fly into the air and fall on the floor with a distinct…

Rattle? Why would a bunch of Pinkie's clothes and Apple Jack's pajamas rattle? "Sorry about that, Pinkie, didn't think you'd be up this early," Apple Jack said, scooping up everything she could reach, a bundle of pink clothes along with her own onesie.

"Uh, haha, that's ok AJ. Don't worry about it!" Pinkie said, reaching to grab the bundle of clothes out of Apple Jack's hands.

"Woah, hang on, lemme grab my pajamas," Apple Jack said, trying to hold on to the things in her arms so that she didn't drop it again and have to pick everything up. There was that rattling again, what could it be?

"Just… gimme…" Pinkie muttered, grabbing two fistfuls of cloth and pulling. The two girls' strong grips pulled back and forth on the objects as they moved between the two of them, quiet grunting and a soft rattling coming from the scuffle.

Suddenly, Apple Jack managed to get ahold of her pajamas and release te rest of Pinkie's attire. With a final tug, Pinkie Pie fell on to her rear, something dropping from the pile and landing on the floor, rolling to Apple Jack's feet, it appeared to be an orange plastic cylinder, filled with something… "That's what the rattling was!" Apple Jack said, stopping over to pick up the bottle of pills. She peered at the label just before Pinkie snatched them out of her hands. "Prozac? What's that?" Apple Jack asked curiously.

"Nothing important!" Pinkie insisted, smiling widely, even for her. She stepped into the bathroom and shut the door, the sound of a clicking lock could be heard and Apple Jack shrugged, leaving Pinkie to her own devices.

"If you insist…" Apple Jack offered as parting words.

"I do!" Pinkie cried out from inside the bathroom. She bit her lip and gazed around the room, trying to find a good place to stash her secret. Ooh, but what did it matter now? All Apple Jack had to do was bring it up to Twilight, she would Google it and then her secret was out! Twilight would be pissed if she had to find out like that… What should she do? Pinkie sat on the toilet seat and put her head into her hands, she felt like Flutter Shy.

Flutter Shy had managed to help keep Rainbow Dash asleep throughout the night. At least, she thought so. When she woke up, Rainbow Dash was still sleeping soundly, and neither had been woken up by kicking or crying through nightmares. So that was good. In fact, Rainbow looked so peaceful while she was asleep that Flutter Shy couldn't bear waking her up, so Flutter Shy tried to stay as still as she could while still moving to a comfortable position. Eventually, Rainbow Dash had moved her head on to Flutter Shy's lap and sighed softly in her deep slumber. It wasn't until there was a knock on their door that Rainbow Dash woke up.

"Whozit?" Dash asked, sitting up abruptly enough to scare Flutter Shy off the bed, making her bump her head on the floor.

"It's Twilight, you guys are the last to get up, we're having breakfast if you want any."

"Be out inna minute!" Rainbow Dash called out, blinking blearily and yawning, she was happy that she got more sleep, but she didn't have to deal with any nightmares last night.

Rainbow Dash got up with a grumble and pulled off her shirt, not minding Flutter Shy laying on the floor behind her. Dash turned when she heard a squeak and saw a blushing Flutter Shy, trying to cover her face with the blanket.

"What? All six of us have seen each other naked before, it's not very surprising…"

"It's um… different now…" Flutter Shy explained, her voice muffled by the thick blanket. Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes and changed quickly, heading for the door.

"I'll be in th dining room, nobody will bother you so change in here if you want," she offered, closing the door behind her and letting Flutter Shy do her thing. A small feeling was creeping up inside of Rainbow Dash but she shook it off, she wasn't forgetting anything. At least, she didn't think so...

Ok, so some of you might have noticed that this story doesn't have any cover art, so I figured, this fandom has some of the coolest and best artists out there, why not ask them for help? So, like the OCs, I was hoping that somebody out there would mind sharing some of their art with me, if they'd like, I'd happily honor you in the Author's Notes and I'd never take credit for your work, I just hope that something eye-catching would look more professional and get some more people to read my work.
