Chapter 3

"Whoa whoa whoa! No... No." Twilight only ended the matter of this statement.

"After what I've seen tonight... AND it's just the beginning of this sleepover!... Things could get nasty with truth or dare" Twilight explained.

RainbowDash only objected as usual. "How so miss know-it-all?"

"Cause she's the planner of this here Sleepover and we should do what she says is why!" AppleJack then answered her angrily.

"Who asked you?" Rainbow only shot back.

"I think Twilight was asking EVERYPONY! Now You need to just-!" AppleJack began but was cut off by Rarity.

"Let's not lose it again girls!" Rarity suggested, frantically wanting to not start another fight again.

Rainbow nor AJ spoke after this but Fluttershy sure did. The yellow Pegasus uncovered most of her face for once from her long pink mane. "I-I know... how about we take this time and h-have a snack?" Fluttershy asked calmly and quietly.

"Good thinking darling!" Rarity agreed.

"Hmmm... yeah that's a great idea Fluttershy!" Twilight nodded, making Fluttershy suddenly go slightly red. "Oh um... I-it was nothing" Fluttershy blushed.

"Oh it was something alright! lameness! Who wants to eat at 9:00 PM at NIGHT?" RainbowDash huffed.

"WE DO!" AppleJack snorted back, along with a few more quiet agreements from the rest of the ponies.

Rainbow felt a little taken aback by this sudden answer and calmly just shrugged. "O-On second thought... maybe having a small snack wouldn't be such a bad idea" She corrected herself.

"Yahuh that's what I thought" AppleJack finished before turning to Twilight. "So, what snacks do we have?"

"Well just follow me!" Twilight simply answered, heading downstairs.

EveryPony followed Twilight downstairs. Spike had already gone to bed of course, on the couch, seeming he wasn't aloud upstairs so every pony tried being as quiet as possible. PinkiePie literally held her breath the whole way to the kitchen.

Everything was dark. There was only a small oven light on that glimmered from In the eerie kitchen. Rarity instantly reacted and flew herself against RainbowDash. "Oh my gosh! I need to see where I'm going! If I can't see... I might step in something!" Rarity whispered loudly.

RainbowDash only narrowed her eyes and shoved her away. "And just what do you take me as? your body guard?... or should I say your darkness guard?" Rainbow joked yet with serious annoyance waking in her voice.

"Well you know the old saying... what goes around comes around" Rarity retorted jokingly with a small smile. This made Rainbow burn with fury causing her to suddenly trip Rarity.

"OWWWW! What the heck was that for!? I told you to guard me not torture me!" Rarity whined from on the kitchen floor now. "Oh sorry... I thought I SAW SOMETHING" Rainbow replied very sarcastically with a grin.

"Ok girls. we have popcorn, candy bars, nachos, and pizza" Twilight began listing the food now once the ponies had finally arrived at the center of the kitchen.

"Whoa whoa... wait... PIZZA!?" RainbowDash suddenly gasped with joy.

"yeah.. pizza... what, you graduating from college or somethin'?" AppleJack simply teased Rainbow with a smirk.

Rainbowdash only ignored her though. "I need that pizza!" she hungrily went on.

Twilight though, seeing that this was an opportunity to get back at Rainbow, only teased her too. "Huh? I thought you didn't like eating at 9:00 at night?" Twilight muttered sarcastically.

"Yeah but that was a few minutes ago!" Rainbowdash retorted.

"I definitely want popcorn!" PinkiePie suddenly hurried to where Spike's freshly made popcorn was. "O-Oh um me too" Fluttershy shyly added as she slowly flew over to where Pinkie's dark outlined figure stood.

All anything really saw was small outlined ponies through the intense darkness. They mainly just listened for the voices. And it was quite humorous all at the same time.

Rarity suddenly made a small squeak though from the back of the bunch of ponies.

"Oh what now?" Applejack asked.

"I think I stepped in something RAINBOWDASH!" Rarity raised her whispering voice highly more on 'RainbowDash's' name.

"Yeah so what?" Rainbow whispered back through the darkness.

"Your supposed to be protecting me from icky sticky substances!" Rarity huffed.

AppleJack rolled her eyes. "I'll protect you Rarity... if no other pony will" Applejack's country voice split the air.

"Thanks darling" Rarity flashed back.

On the other end of the Kitchen, PinkiePie was now scooping clumps of popcorn into a bowl with a large cooking spoon. "It needs to have plenty of butter!" Pinkie's high pitched voice remarked to Fluttershy. "Oh yes, and a hint of salt if you will" Fluttershy suggested slowly.

"Aye Aye Fluttershy!" Pinkie whispered back.

"Ok so I think the pizza should be in the fridge" Twilight suddenly then whispered over her shoulder to the awaiting RainbowDash.

"Good enough for me!" Rainbowdash yipped before flying over to the fridge and pulling the big doors open. A cold blast exploded from the refrigerator and onto Rainbow, but she didn't care. Her eyes were too busy scanning the small fridge-shelves for the pizza... and yet once she had looked more than three times she began to notice that there was no pizza.

She grunted. "H-Hey... is this some kind of joke, Twilight?" RainbowDash growled.

Twilight was shocked at her friend's sudden anger. "No? Why? Did you find the pizza?" Twilight asked more innocently than ever as she came to stand beside Rainbowdash.

"No! that's the problem! There is no pizza!" Rainbow yelled in grief.

"Oh Boo hoo! that's what you get for not protecting me from this murderous dark floor!" Rarity's voice snapped towards Rainbow.

At this point, RainbowDash had had enough. She slammed the refrigerator door shut and turned around through the darkness, eyeing Rarity's outlined figure from the small oven light.

"Hey hush up miss drama queen! You were the one who-" Rainbow began but Applejack suddenly elbowed Rainbow in the chest from out of nowhere in the darkness, causing rainbow to lose her breath.

"AOUUUUGH! What was... t-that for?" Rainbowdash scowled now at Applejack's figure.

"Look I think we should all just count to ten and hush up... Twilight must have a sensible reason as to why the pizza is gone" Applejack explained, and yet Rainbow detected no regret whatsoever within the cowgirl's voice at her actions.

"In fact I do" Twilight's voice sounded from in the living room.

Rainbowdash, Rarity, and Applejack all felt their way to the living room throughout the darkness to see what Twilight's explanation was.

While the rest of those three ponies were fighting, Twilight had snuck off to check on Spike, and sure enough an empty pizza box was lying on the ground next to the sofa on which Spike slept on.

"Spike is the suspect" Twilight reported, seeming no one could see the evidence due to the voiding darkness in the house.

"What!? Really!?" Rainbow's voice flipped on as soon as Twilight directed that Spike was guilty.

Rarity only gave a small chuckle though while Applejack hang a loose grin on her face, due to watching Rainbowdash's reactions.

"B-B-But Twilight, How am I supposed to eat now?" Rainbow asked back into a whispery tone.

"Hey! there's plenty of snacks in the kitchen ain't there?" Applejack retorted and yet Twilight only objected. "No, no... if RainbowDash wants pizza, I'll order her some" Twilight whispered back.

"What!? But dearie, I don't think pizzaponies run this hour?" Rarity sounded shocked from where she stood in the bewildering darkness.

"Yes they do. Spike's ordered pizza much later than what it is now" Twilight confirmed, making Rainbowdash give an excited squeal. "Aww yeah! Thanks Twi!" Rainbow couldn't help but yell loud enough to accidently wake up the sleeping Spike on the sofa, just five hoofsteps away.

"H-Huh? W-What's going on?" Sounded Spike's sleepy voice...
