Chapter 3

- 3 Hours Into The Slumber Party -

- Starlight's Point Of View -

These ponies are just weird.. I've spent a mere day with them and they act as if I have known them for 5 months or something..

It's weird seeing ponies so open to others, especially them, but this is a new town, new faces.. It most likely could be much different here than anywhere else I have ever been to.. "Starlight.. Starrliiight, STARLIGHT!?" Shouted Twilight in my ear.

"Who, what, when, where, why, how?" I just randomly blurted as I snapped out of my thoughts to see six mares staring at me. "What do you think?" Twilight asked me.

"Think about what?" Was the only reply I could think of, I had no idea what these ponies wanted to know. But hopefully they didn't want to know anything bad..

"Are you going to come with the gala to us?" Rarity had asked. I just stood in still and thought about that question.. I personally hate the gala, but these ponies seem to enjoy it. So I didn't have much of choice.. "I suppose.. Under one condition." I responded and decided not to say anything else after.

"That condition?" Applejack tried to get me to speak, and it worked. "The condition is.. I STEAL YOUR SOUL!" I Shouted loudly before using my magic to cut the lights in the room. Instantly I heard the girly screams of the six. I decided not to torture them even longer than I already had, so I turned the lights back on and laughed in their faces.

The reactions they gave me were priceless.. Except for applejack who instead of laughing at my joke, slapped me in the face. She's lucky hitting mares is against the equestrian law. So instead of hitting her, I used my magic and tripped her, to which she didn't even care for some reason.

I am the greatest prankster ever, none that I have ever seen can prank better than me. "Ah hope yer' done with your annoying little pranks. This is the second time tonight you've scared us to death Starlight!". Applejack was fuming, I was laughing so hard on the inside.. But I decided to spare her feelings and not scare her again.. Mare's are so easy to freak out.

"Fine, I'm done. And yeah as I said, I suppose I'll go to the gala. But I'm doing any of that girly frou, frou stuff, that girly mares do." I replied in answer to the question. They all became excited and then Rarity began. "Are you sure you don't want to wear anything to the gala deary? I do in fact have a lot of-" "No thank you Rarity.. I am stubborn, and do not wear stuff." I interrupted Rarity.

- 2 Hours Later -

Now it was 3:00 AM in the morning, We stayed up to late, so I decided to go take a nap.. "I'm going to bed.. *Yawn*, By the way.. You ponies are the best thing that has ever happen to me.. Thanks for making things fun." I complimented them.

Every mare does love a compliment, right? "I suppose we should be going to bed as well." Applejack added. But before I could say goodnight.. I fell asleep right then and there. I Guess I stayed up way later than I usually do.

- Rainbow Dash's Point Of View -

"Did he just pass out?" I questioned to every pony in the room. It's not every day you see a pony pass out right in front of you. I walked over to him and sure enough, his eyes were closed and he was out cold. So I thought it was payback time. I looked around for a little bit and eventually found a black marker, just what I needed.

I approached the sleeping stallion and drew a moustache on his face. "What do you guys think?" I asked every pony. And sure enough they all burst into laughter. "Wipe that off, he'll get really mad if he sees that.. Or worse, he'll prank you." Pinkie Pie warned while laughing a bit. Knowing his pranks so far, he most likely would be able to inflict much worse revenge than I have.. So be it, I wiped it off.

All of us said our good nights as we got nice and comfy in our sleeping bags. It sure was a pretty fun night, and maybe we will do it again sometime?

I was almost asleep, but then I looked around to see that Starlight had vanished, I gasped knowing that something really bad was about to happen.. "GIRLS! STARLIGHT IS GONE! GET UP! I shouted loudly to alert the others.

They all rocketed up and prepared for the worst, as I did the same. "Be ready for anything..." Twilight added as we all got together and formed a circle. We kept watch on all areas that anything could enter and freak us out. "Okay from what I know there is no way he can get past us without us seeing it." I confirmed. But after saying those words, I remembered something.. Something very terrifying... He can teleport.

"I just remembered he can teleport.. EVERY PONY FOR THEMSELVES!" I Shouted as I launched off to one of the higher floors to avoid getting caught by him. At this point it was like a very scary game of hide and seek.. And hopefully he wouldn't find me and terrorize me.

I heard the others running around loudly and finding places to hide, eventually Twilight came up to where I was, I whispered to her and motioned for her to come over to where I was hiding, which was in fact, a bedroom corner with a dresser on floor 3.

"Hey, twilight! Get over here! We can hide here for the night." I told her. "Why would we be hiding here for the night? What exactly are we all so afraid of?" Twilight asked me. And I could see the logic behind that question.. Why were we so scared?

"I have no idea.. But all I know is that he could be anywhere.. He could be anything and he could scare us to death if he really wanted to. Plus I'm bored and a game of hide and seek sounds pretty fun right about now. "

Me and twilight just stayed silent and hid there for as long as we cared to, now it was a game of survival.

- Applejack's Point Of View -

Ah' have never been so scared in my life, and Ah' am scared for no good reason! Rainbow Dash got us all freaked out and now I don't know where the others are.. This mansion is massive, and I can't seem to find a place to hide or find any ponies to hide with. And I know that he is just waiting to scare me, so ah' have to be quick witted and I need to hurry it up.

"Hey, A.J whatcha doing?". Pinkie Pie!, Never have I been so happy to see Pinkie in my entire life. I went ahead and ran to where Pinkie was hiding, and she was hiding in the kitchen, in one of the pantries near the ceiling. "How in the hay did you get up there pink?" I questioned the incredible pony. "It's easy! Just climb up!". Not the best reply Ah' have received, but I wasn't about to deny it, after all.. It is a pretty nice hiding place.

Just as I was almost in the pantry, I heard a noise from behind me... I turned around to see the freakiest thing Ah' have ever seen, it was a monster with glowing green eyes, it looked like a Ursa Major, except it's skin was black and bubbly, and it had glowing green spots all over it.

I instantly sprinted up into the warm and small space of the pantry and closed the cabinet that shut us in complete darkness. "What in the hay was that thing?!" I anxiously asked the pink pony. "Green mutated gum!" Pinkie had shouted in my face full of pride. I rolled my eyes at the stupid guess of what a monster like that could have been.

Me and pinkie had waited there in complete silence for the past what seemed like hours.. I decided it was time to get out and find something to eat cause I sure was hungry. The second I opened the cabinet door I saw the monster right up in my face. Me and pinkie screamed like little filly's and ran backwards.

- The Dream Ended -

I jumped right up out of my sleeping bag.. It was just a dream. Never was I so scared in my entire life. "AH!"! I turned to my right to see a cyan Pegasus with a rainbow mane jump right out of her sleeping bag just as I did. "What's wrong rainbow?" I asked the seemingly scared Pegasus. "Nothing.. bad dream.." Was her response. I think me and her had the same dream.. But where is starlight?

I looked to my left to see starlight still passed out on the ground, and I could never be happier to see that. I don't think I would have been able to handle that again. "So R.D, you know what time it is?" I asked the Pegasus. "Not really, do you?" Came her response. I Shook my head, given that she decided me and her should go look for anything that could tell us the time.

After a few minutes of exploring the large mansion, we found one of the bedrooms on the second floor. It had a dresser, and two closets. On the dresser laid a clock which showed the time: 6:37 AM.

Me and rainbow decided to stay up for now, given the dream we both just had.. I don't think either of us wants to go back to that nightmare. "So applejack.. Whatcha want to talk about?" She asked me. I stared at her in confusion for a few seconds, then realizing that she must've wanted to talk about something to either burn time or forget the nightmare. "Well.. How about this mansion? Some mansion am I right?"

- 2 Hours Later |8:34 AM| -
-Rainbow Dash's Point Of View -

Every pony has woken up, and is getting breakfast. Starlight has a massive selection of foods to eat, hopefully he is okay with us having some. But why is everyone except Starlight awake at this hour.. I wonder why he would be sleeping in so late, unless of course he always sleeps in this late.

I go to where I believe the unicorn had fallen asleep, but to no avail. He was not where he was left..

"Hey, where is Starlight?" I questioned my friends who were in the kitchen getting breakfast. "Oh, I put him in one of the bedrooms on the second floor, I didn't want to leave him there on the ground, go up the left stairway, take a right through the hall and take a left through one of the brown wooden doors. But why do you need this information?" Twilight informed me. "I'm going to go wake him up, he shouldn't be sleeping in this late." I replied to her annoying question.

I went to the right stairway, took a right through the hall, and took another left through one of the brown wooden doors, he wasn't there when I entered.. Did twilight lie to me?

I left the area and tried the right stairway and did what she said again, and finally I saw him sleeping in one of the beds.

When I had entered the room I saw around 10 other beds, And 4 of those beds were bunk beds. I approached the one he lied in and hesitantly shook him slowly, I didn't feel any need to cause him harm, or scare him, or freak him out, or-. Wait I'm not a dictionary? "Hey, wake up! It's 8:30... Or somewhere around that, you are sleeping in!". The only reply I received was mumbling and him rolling over to face me.

"It's 8:30? I sleep in till 11:30.. This isn't acceptable." He said. His mane looked pretty messed up, he looked pretty tired.. I guess I should have made him go to sleep earlier.. Well, anyway, "Well if you're going to be in ponyville, you have to be up by 8:00 at the least." I told him.

His only reaction to it was a groan and face-diving into his pillow. I grabbed his hoof and started dragging him while he started screaming stuff like "NOOOOOO!" , "I DON'T WANT TO DIE!", and "I'M TO YOUNG!". It was rather cute, but still ridiculous.

- 30 Minutes Of Dragging Later -

I finally had gotten him down to the bottom of the stairs, and into the kitchen where all my friends just stared at the scene before them, and I couldn't really blame them.

"What is going on here?!" Twilight raged. "She loved me so much she wasted a whole 30 minutes on dragging me all the way down here just to eat, and now she's making me breakfast!" Starlight said proudly. "When did I say I was going to make you breakfast?!" I replied quickly and loudly. "Well, you dragged me down here against my will, woke me up 3 hours before the time I usually wake up at, and if that wasn't enough, you love me so that's the law of love."

Every pony including me went speechless over everything starlight just said.. Why is it so often he makes us go silent? This guy is even more random than pinkie pie! And that's saying something!

"I Don't love you, and fine I will make you breakfast.. Ugh.". That was the only option I had. And then I saw starlight's eyes starting to tear up.. What could he be doing now.. "S-She doesn't love me?..." Is what he had said before bursting into tears.

I simply facehoofed at the situation until I saw every pony staring at me. "What.. He's probably faking again." I said in my defense. "Those are real tears R.D, but why is he crying over this?" Applejack had replied awkwardly. I ignored his crying knowing it was fake.. Or I think it was fake, so ignoring the crying I went ahead and made him a bowl of cereal.

Eventually, he stopped crying.. I think it took him about five minutes to actually shut up, but he did. He just kept staring at me for the next 10 minutes.. So I had to find out why.. "Why are you staring at me?" I asked him. But all his response was, was a "HMPH" and a look in the other direction. I sighed at the shenanigans, hoping that I didn't have to say anything.. But every single time I tried to talk to him he kept going "HMPH.". "Okay, fine.." I hesitated before saying. "I love you.." under my breath really quietly almost like a whisper. And I hope he saw how irritated I was. Immediately he yelled "YIPPEE" and began prancing around joyfully. Sometimes I just don't understand how ponies can be this stupid.

- Five Hours Later, Ponyville Center -

- Twilight's Point Of View -

After having that sleep-over last night, I am pretty tired.. I usually don't stay up till 3:00, I crash at around 12:30, but enough about that.. That whole thing with Rainbow Dash and Starlight wanting Rainbow to love him was absolutely undeniably amazing. I couldn't stop laughing on the inside. And this brings me to question if Rainbow is serious, or just wanted him to shut it, though judging by how she was reacting.. I'd say she hates him a lot now.

"So, what do you girls do in your spare time?" Starlight questioned us. "Well Rainbow usually practices with Scootaloo, Fluttershy just talks with her animals n' such, I go and read books, Pinkie Pie goes around making sure every pony is happy, Rarity spends most of her time at the Boutique making new dresses for every pony, applejack works at the barn, sometimes hanging out with Rainbow from time to time when she has the chance. That's pretty much what we all do in our spare time, what do you do in your spare time Star?" I responded at a quick pace. I don't think I talk to fast.. I think. Or talk too much? Yeah that's not likely.

"I have a lot of spare time.. I just do whatever whenever. No particular schedule for me." Came his response, and at that moment I realized I could make him his own schedule! It would be so fun! "I can help you make a schedule! I'm very well organized and I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to help you make one!" I responded at an even faster pace than last time. "O..Kay?" Is the only thing he managed to get out before I gleefully interrupted him with ideas.

As I was telling him everything he could possibly do in ponyville and what exact times he could do it in, me and him both heard a loud explosion from one of the nearby buildings. Shortly after the explosion, we saw tons of ponies running and screaming, I didn't know what to think of it, and neither did he. But for some reason he wanted to find out, so he ran right into the area that exploded for no apparent reason except for getting himself killed. I had no choice but to follow him and when we got there, we were shocked to see what lay there.

- Hey guys this is the end of this chapter! I hope you enjoyed, sorry it took me so long to get it out. Hoping to get some more positive reviews for this one! Remember, anything you think I should fix/do/add/remove. Just tell me. And I will take it into consideration. Thanks again. -
