Chapter 4

The sound of shuffling came from the sofa's direction.

"oops!" Rainbow clamped her hooves over her mouth as she realized what she had done.

"Great going loud mouth!" Applejack sneered, getting a 'HEY!' back from Rainbow.

Twilight only sighed with having to deal with Spike now. "U-Um Spike? Are you ok?" Twilight asked, through the darkness. She then sighed. "Here... Now that Spike is awake..." A sudden light then flickered on as Twilight switched a lamp on from in the living room, brightening everything at once.

"Oh finally dear, some light" Rarity huffed at the lamp's glare.

"T-Twilight? W-What are you all doing downstairs? I-Is the sleepover... well... over? is it morning?" Spike began pouring out questions. His eyes were still droopy though and his voice sounded groggy from just waking up.

"No... the sleepover is still going... We just accidently woke you up I guess by coming down here for a small midnight snack" Twilight explained.

"Yeah, thanks to Rainbow over here, we probably woke the entire town up!" Applejack snorted while straightening her hat.

Rainbowdash quickly reacted and gave Applejack a hard nudge. "Shut up! You came down here to eat too you know!" Rainbow flashed back, making Rarity roll her eyes on the side.

"Girls please!" Twilight then huffed, turning her attention quickly back to Spike. "H-How about you go back to sleep. We're just gonna order pizza... want some?" Twilight then asked.

"Want SOME!? Really? Twilight, Spike just ATE pizza! My pizza!" RainbowDash objected to this offer.

"Uh... Your pizza?" AppleJack scoffed, getting a glare from Rainbowdash.

"Well Rainbowdash I was just trying to be nice! seems like you have no experience of being nice anyways!" Twilight then calmly remarked harshly, making Rainbow's ears flatten.

"No, No Twilight! RainbowDash is right!... I guess I kinda did over stuff myself..." Spike then defended the poor innocent cyan Pegasus.

"Well that still gives her no reason for her to snap at me like that" Twilight narrowed her eyes slightly at Rainbow.

"hehe...sorry" Rainbow's face fell to the floor, when suddenly PinkiePie and Fluttershy came trampling out of the kitchen.

"Hiya! ready to get back upstairs?" Pinkie asked as she bounded into the room with Fluttershy at her side.

"No Pinkie not yet" Twilight sighed, she then turned to Rarity. "Hmmm Rarity can you call and ask for Rainbow's pizza? Just make it a small one" Twilight asked, making Rarity nod firmly at this. "Of course darling... we wouldn't want-..." Rarity then cut herself off as Rainbow sent her a vicious glare though.

"I mean... I-I'll get right to it" Rarity corrected herself and headed for the phone in the kitchen.

Just then though Fluttershy recognized Spike, and how he was awake for some reason. "O-Oh my... Spike... your awake?" Fluttershy suddenly asked from in the doorway of the kitchen to the living room.

"Y-yeah" Spike's dreary voice told Fluttershy that he wasn't going to get back to sleep easily.

"H-here let me help you get back to sleep... W-Well if it's alright with y-you Twilight" Fluttershy then turned to ask for Twilight's confirmation.

"Of course Fluttershy! I'm glad you wanna help Spike!" Twilight's face lit up happily.

"O-Ok" Fluttershy nodded and trotted rather slowly to where Spike no sat on the sofa. She then began to sing softly to the baby dragon.

Twilight and the others just watched on, and waited for Rarity's return.

"He'll be here at about 9:45 Twilight, and it's what... 9:20 now?" Rarity explained as they all trotted back upstairs. "WHAT!? I can't possibly wait that long!" Rainbowdash moaned from hunger as they all entered Twilight's room now.

Fluttershy on the other hand was feeling quite pleased with herself. She had successfully put Spike to sleep and was now coming out of her shell a little more.

As soon as everypony got upstairs though, and turned off the lamp from downstairs, they noticed how dark once again it felt.

"Um... can we please turn on a light up here this time Twilight?... I-I mean we're not going to sleep JUST yet now are we?" Rarity suddenly then asked, without wanting to take another step into darkness without seeing where she was going.

"Sure!" Twilight's voice called out and instantly a light flicked on.

"Better?"

"Better" Rarity confirmed with a small nod.

After a few seconds of everypony walking back to their sleepingbags, PinkiePie suddenly decided to speak up. "Sooooo... Wanna play truth or dare now?" PinkiePie suddenly asked after a few awkward seconds of complete silence.

"Yeah! Like I said earlier! it would be totally awesome!" Rainbowdash sprung to her feet, her wings flapping with glee, though she wasn't lifting herself off the ground into a hovering flight just yet like she normally did.

"What! B-But that's such a juvenile game! I mean... come on..." Rarity objected dramatically as usual.

"It's not juvenile! I know Juvenile when I see it and this is awesomeness!" Rainbowdash tried to explain to Rarity as best as she could that this game was one of her favorites but Rarity just wouldn't budge.

"No." Rarity answered, her head held high.

"Fine! You don't have to play!" Rainbow suggested happily making Rarity give a gasp. "HOW DARE YOU EXCLUDE ME!" Rarity roared with such suddenly offended force.

"U-Um can I not play too?" Fluttershy's soft squeak was hardly even heard throughout the fuss.

"HEY, HEY, QUIET GIRLS!" Twilight then suddenly yelled. "You do know that Fluttershy has just put Spike back to sleep..." Twilight remarked and then set her attention on Rainbow. "Let's not wake him up again, shall we?" Twilight narrowed her eyes at the cyan pony.

Rainbow only sulked.

"Now... I what I think we should do is vote on playing truth or dare or not" Twilight then suggested, getting a small grin to creep upon Dash's face. Rarity only held her snout even higher, not letting her dignity get destroyed by some repulsive Pegasus.

"All in favor of playing truth or dare say I" Twilight then announced.

"I!" Rainbow quickly snapped.

" I!" Pinkie bounced up and down from her position on her sleeping bag.

"Oh heck, I" Applejack sounded like she didn't even care.

And after a few silent moments had passed Rarity cleared her throat. "Not I" Rarity held her head high, fluffing her curls out with a sheek glimmer.

Rainbow only rolled her eyes while Applejack let out a sigh.

"This'll be a while..." AJ muttered.

"I-I really don't mind" came the small voice from Fluttershy from under her warm sleeping bag.

RainbowDash then turned to the last pony who didn't say anything. "Twilight?" Rainbow urged.

Twilight thought a moment. To her it seemed like there were more ponies wanting to play truth or dare then to not. "Well... I guess we COULD play truth or dare... only seeing that their are more votes on it" Twilight expertly explained with a small hopeful smile towards Rarity.

"AWWW YEAH!" Rainbow exploded from her side of the room, followed by PinkiePie's hyper squealing.

Rarity though on the other hand was aghast. "What!? B-But..." Rarity couldn't for once find the words to counter this situation therefore making the Truth or dare game begin...
