It was night time and the girls were having a sleepover at Pinkie Pie's house. Sunset, Rarity, and Fluttershy were doing their nails. Rainbow Dash and Applejack were playing video games. On the bed, Twilight was reading a book while Pinkie Pie was on her laptop.

Rainbow Dash: C'mon. C'mon.

Rainbow Dash gave a grin while Applejack widened her eyes.

Rainbow Dash: YES!

Applejack: Hey, no fair!

AJ angrily pointed her finger at Rainbow.

Applejack: You musta cheated!

Rainbow Dash spun her controller on her finger while chuckling.

Rainbow Dash: (Sarcasm) Yeah, right!

Rainbow hopped on the bed next to Pinkie Pie.

Rainbow Dash: What'cha doin', Pinkie Pie?

Pinkie Pie: I'm trying to get this blue hedgehog to jump this waterfall.

The two girls widened their eyes.

Pinkie Pie: Aaaand I just lost my rings... and my life.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, yeah, that's a tragedy. Now pull up the next episode of the abridged series, would ya?

Pinkie Pie quickly turned her frown upside-down.

Pinkie Pie: I'm on it.

Twilight gave a blank expression as she lowered her book.

Twilight: Wait a minute. You're watching the next episode now?

Rainbow Dash: Yep.

Pinkie Pie: Pretty much.

Twilight: Sunset Shimmer, what time is it?

Sunset checked her watch.

Sunset: It's, uh, ten to midnight.

Twilight: What? No! It's too late.

She placed her book on the side.

Twilight: Listen, I like the abridged show as much as the next smartest girl in school, but we can't show up at school tomorrow with a lack of sleep. We need our rest.

Rainbow Dash: Relax, Twilight. It's just one episode.

Pinkie Pie: Besides, the next episode's only four and a half minutes long. We've got time to spare.

After Rainbow and Pinkie gave Twilight begging expressions, Twilight let out a sigh.

Twilight: Alright, just "one" episode and then it's off to bed.

As most of the girls cheered, Fluttershy gulped before standing up.

Fluttershy: Um, I'm gonna go get some water.

Fluttershy tried hiding her worried face as she exited the room.

Sunset: I'm gonna get some water too.

After following Fluttershy into the kitchen, Sunset noticed Fluttershy whimpering behind the counter.

Sunset: Fluttershy?

She walked closer to Fluttershy.

Sunset: Is everything okay?

Fluttershy stood up to her feet and faced away from Sunset Shimmer.

Fluttershy: No. I just... I just don't think I like that show very much.

She clenched her eyes shut.

Fluttershy: I don't like how they make fun of the elderly. It's not right.

Sunset gave a bit of a sad look before walking behind Fluttershy and placing her hands on her shoulders.

Sunset: I understand how you feel, Fluttershy, but... the show's not meant to hurt anybody. And there's a couple of reasons why it shouldn't hurt you.

Sunset held up one finger. Her index finger, not the middle finger.

Sunset: One, it's a cartoon, and cartoons aren't real.

She then held up two fingers.

Sunset: Two, it brings more laughter than pain. And laughter's an important part of friendship.

She finally held up three fingers.

Sunset: And three...

She tried holding in her laughter, but failed.

Sunset: Oh, who am I kidding? It's just a freaking awesome show to watch. Hehehe.

Fluttershy looked away while Sunset cleared her throat.

Sunset: Anyway, listen. I'm not saying you "have" to watch the show. I just want you to at least give the show a chance, and try not to take the jokes too seriously. Okay?

Fluttershy took a deep breath.

Fluttershy: I'll try.

Sunset gave a warm smile before the two girls returned to the room. Soon enough, the girls gathered together on the bed. Pinkie Pie clicked on the next episode, and then she started quoting IAmZamber from Youtube.

Pinkie Pie: Now, without further... ado, let's get starteeeed!

Pinkie Pie clicked play and started the video.

Yami: I'm not actually in this episode. Has anyone seen my agent?

Rainbow Dash: Who do you take us for? The Agent Investigation Police?

The girls chuckled after that.

Yugi: Well, Grandpa's a drooling vegetable. And now, thanks to Pegasus, he's lost his soul too. I've just gotta save him.

Fluttershy placed a hand over her heart and then breathed lightly.

Yugi: But first, I should probably figure out how to get down from here. Hello? A little help here? Anybody!

Rainbow Dash: How'd you even get up there to begin with?

Joey: Hey, it's another video!

Joey puts the tape in the VCR.

Joey: I wonder if Pegasus wants my soul too.

Joey's sister appeared on Joey's TV.

Serenity: What's up, big brother?

Serenity's voice took the girls by surprise.

Rarity: Sweet goodness!

Sunset: Gah!

Pinkie Pie: I'm hungry!

Joey: It's my sister who sounds nothin' like me!

Applejack: Ain't that the truth!

Serenity: The doctors have been so busy trying to figure out why my voice is so high-pitched, they've neglected to treat my eyesight. So I'm going blind.

Sunset quickly placed a hand on Fluttershy's shoulder.

Serenity: Well, see ya later... or not.

Joey: I guess my soul ain't good enough for Pegasus.

Applejack: Really? You want your soul to be taken?

Yugi: I've decided to accept Pegasus's invitation and travel to his private island, where I'll be completely at his mercy. It's a shame rich megalomaniacs are immune from the law, otherwise we could just call the police.

Twilight: I don't think the police would believe them if they told them that Pegasus was using ancient magic to steal people's souls.

Sunset: I don't think the police of this world would believe us if we explained Equestrian Magic to them. It's probably for the best if less people know about it anyway.

Rarity: That's quite a fair point! Though, it would be nice to get noticed.

Rainbow gave it some thought.

Rainbow Dash: For our music maybe.

Joey: Cash sure does do terrible things to people. It's like the old saying goes: Money is the root of all-

Tristan: Hey, look! This tournament has a prize of three million dollars!

Joey: Cha-ching! Duelist Kingdom, here I come!

The girls had a laugh out of that. Sunset noticed Fluttershy and could tell that she's feeling a lot better now.

Sunset: (Thought) That's what I like to see.

Yugi: Hey, Joey, remember the time we became friends?

Joey: Yeah.

There was a freeze-frame of Yugi chasing Joey and Tristan.

Yugi: Give me back my Millennium Puzzle, you big dickweeds! Waaaah!

Joey and Tristan: "We're tormenting yooouu"

The girls had another laugh after that, even Fluttershy.

Yugi: Actually Joey, I was talking about the part after that.

Joey: Oh... Oh yeah, now I remember!

It showed the same freeze-frame again.

Yugi: I mean it guys, give it back!

The girls immediately laughed again.

Joey and Tristan: "We're still tormenting yooouu"

Joey: Man, good times!

Yugi: No Joey, I mean the time where I saved you from that bully.

Joey: Huh! No. No, I don't remember that.

Yugi: But I was all heroic and stuff!

Joey: Hey, remember the time me and Tristan took your Millennium Puzzle?

It showed the freeze-frame again and Yugi started whining like a baby, which was when the girls laughed again.

Joey and Tristan: "Tooormeeeent"

Yugi: Remind me why we're friends again?

They paused the video so they could breathe.

Rainbow Dash: Aheh. Okay... these episodes get funnier every time we watch them.

Pinkie Pie: And according to my playlist, we've got a loooong way to go.

Rarity: Then let's continue on with the show, shall we? I simply crave for more excitement.

They played the video.

Kemo: Attention, Duelists! My hair is telling me that it's time for you to board. Anyone caught without a crazy hairstyle will not be permitted to enter the Duelist Kingdom.

Twilight: So if we wanted to enter that tournament, all we need is hair that's...

The girls looked at their own hairstyles and each other's hairstyles before Twilight blushed with embarrassment.

Twilight: Never mind. Moving on.

Rarity held a hand out.

Rarity: Uh, wait just a moment. What is the name of this episode again?

Pinkie Pie: Um... it's called "My Cards Will Go On"! Oooohh! I'm starting to get it now.

Rarity: So am I.

She said with excitement.

Rarity: Please. Continue the video.

Pinkie Pie pressed play.

Joey: Hey, but my hair's all blonde and poofy!

Guard: Sorry sir, but it needs to be at least twice the size of your head for it to count.

Yugi: He's with me.

Guard: Wow! Your hair's crazy enough for two people! Okay, he can go.

The girls giggled.

Rarity: I know it's a cartoon, but I do wonder how Yugi gets his hair like that.

Joey: Thanks, Yug. Man, your hair really is crazy. What the heck's your secret?

Yugi: L'Oreal.

The word "L'Oreal" appeared on the top-left corner of the screen.

Yugi: Because I'm worth it.

Applejack: Does that answer your question, Rarity?

Rarity: Well...

She flipped her hair.

Rarity: I suppose so. But just remember "I" am worth it as well.

AJ rolled her eyes with a smile and shook her head before playing the video.

Tea: Come on, Tristan. Let's sneak on board like Solid Snake.

Tristan: Don't our parents even care that we're missing?

Mai: Is that a Lightforce Sword in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

Rarity: Ooh, she's definitely worth it too. I simply love her hair.

Joey: Check it out, Yug. It's a pair of giant breasts attached to a woman.

The girls widened their eyes and looked surprised.

Sunset: Uuuuhhh... did he just-

Mai: The name's Mai Valentine. It's not a very subtle pun, but then again, nothing about me is very subtle.

Joey: Boooobiiiiies.

The girls' faces turned red.

Sunset: This is getting uncomfortable.

Mai: I'll crush you when we get to the island.

Joey: With your boobies, right?

Rarity slowly held herself and covered her chest.

Applejack: Okay.

She covered her eyes with one hand.

Applejack: Okay.

Tristan: What's wrong, Tea?

Tea: I need to use the bathroom, but the lady who dubs me won't admit it.

Tristan: In another few hours, the sun will rise.

Tea: What the (Bleep) does that mean?

(seriously, he actually says that... wtf?)

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, I don't get that.

Pinkie Pie: Neither do I.

Tea: Hey, isn't that Bakura?

Tristan: Bakura? The limey kid from school?

Tea: What's he doing here?

Tristan: Who cares? He's not even a main character.

Pinkie crossed her arms.

Pinkie Pie: Well, no cupcakes for you, mister.

Rex: Woah! Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh! Come to Raptor.

Mai: Tell you what, Rex. If I win this duel, I get to use your room. But if you win, then I'll give you a kiss.

Rex: Cool. Then I, like, won't be a virgin anymore.

The girls had a little giggle.

Rainbow Dash: (Sarcasm) Good luck... buttmunch!

The girls had another laugh.

Weevil: Heh-heh! Hey, Yugi! Heh-heh! Like, give me your cards, or something. Heh-heh!

Yugi: Well, you're clearly evil, but I see no reason not to trust you.

Weevil: Say goodbye to Exodia!

The Rainbooms gasped when Weevil threw the Exodia cards overboard.

Weevil: Heh-heh-heh-heh! Yeah! Heh-heh! That was cool! Heh-heh-heh!

Rainbow Dash: No, that was "not" cool!

Yugi: Holy cow, I never even saw that coming.

Joey: I'll save 'em!

As soon as Joey dives into the ocean, Rarity gasped with excitement when "My Heart Will Go On" began playing in the background.

Rarity: I knew it.

Pinkie Pie: Saw that coming.

Joey: Must... risk... life... for cards!

While Yugi was trying to save Joey, Rarity daydreams about her and a boy cruising together on a boat. In her dream, the boy and Rarity were moving closer together to kiss. Unfortunately, the dream ended when the music stopped and Tristan talking.

Tristan: Hey, get a room you two.

The girls began laughing while Rarity looked a little disappointed.

Rarity: Well, no matter. I can still dream.

After the duel, Mai literally kicked Rex out.

Mai: Get out, loser!

Rex: Uh... did I just score?

Applejack: Uh, nope!

Tea: Sorry you almost drowned, guys.

Tristan: If it's any consolation, the sun will be up in a few hours.

Sunset: Okay, what's up with him bringing up the sun?

Joey: Man, I can't believe I didn't save your cards. Compared to this, my sister's imminent blindness seems like a minor inconvenience.

Twilight: Minor Inconvenience?

Yugi: Your sister? How come you never mentioned that sub-plot before?

Joey: My parents got divorced a long time ago, because I tried teaching her how to drive.

Fluttershy: Because he what?

Serenity: Joey! Stop this crazy thing!

Joey: Apply the handbrake, ya dumb broad!

The girls tried not to laugh at that.

Tristan: (Thought) If she's going blind, I might actually have a chance with her.

The girls just stared at the screen for a moment.

Rainbow Dash: What kind of creep gets that idea?

Yugi: We'll both do our best, Joey. You for your sister, and me for my Grandpa.

Tea: I'm not even sure why I bothered coming.

Tristan: Hey, look! I was right about the sun.

The screen fades to black.

Twilight: There. It's over. Now-

Pinkie Pie: Sh! Not yet! Not yet!

Admiral Ackbar appeared on screen with Trap Hole.

Ackbar: It's a trap!

The video ended.

Pinkie Pie: Yeah, a trap "card".

The girls had one last laugh.

Twilight: Okay, that's enough fun for today. Can we please go to sleep now?

Rainbow Dash: Yeah!

Rainbow Dash stretched her arms up and yawned.

Rainbow Dash: I'm so tired. Can't believe we've watched three episodes in one day. Night, girls.

The girls said goodnight to each other and got comfortable in their sleeping spots. After the lights were turned off, they closed their eyes and went to sleep. Not all of them went to sleep. Sunset Shimmer and Fluttershy were having a conversation.

Sunset: Well, Fluttershy? Feeling a lot better now?

Fluttershy gave it some thought and nodded.

Sunset: Good. I'm glad you gave the show a chance.

Fluttershy: I have you to thank, Sunset. And from now on, I won't take anything in the show seriously. Well... at least I'll try.

Sunset: Good enough for me.

The two girls gave each other a hug before going to bed.
