Chapter 1: Giggling Gaggling Mares

"This is going to be so great!" Twilight squealed as she used her magical horn to sort books that had been incorrectly shelved in the library. Spike was perched on a ladder, dusting one of the higher shelves.

"I still think it's a little rude for you to kick me out…" Spike mumbled.

"Oh, Spike, you know how it is. It's just going to be a bunch of giggling gaggling mares talking about makeup and boys and other foalish things. You'd be totally bored."

"Not necessarily…" Spike said, imagining things about Rarity he'd rather not divulge to Twilight. "But I suppose I can hang out with Daisy for one night."

"Thanks Spike. You're the best."

"Don't mention it," Spike said. "Hey, any chance you wanted that Slumber 101 book? I have it right here." He waved the book out to Twilight.

"No thank you, Spike. For this slumber party, I'm going to be off-book." Twilight giggled at her pun. Spike rolled his eyes but smiled just the same. He climbed down the ladder and approached Twilight with his chest puffed out.

"I'm all done!" he proclaimed. Twilight beamed at him and gave him a quick hug.

"Thank you for helping me tidy up! I guess I'll see you in the morning."

"Sure thing, Twilight. Good night!" Spike went to open the door, but it swung open and knocked him asunder as a cyan-colored pony zoomed into the library, leaving behind a rainbow trail in her wake.

"Hey, Twilight! Hope I'm not too early for the big party! The weather's supposed to be calm tonight, so they didn't need me too much at work today."

"Oh, Rainbow Dash, you're never too early. I'm so glad to see you." It was then that Twilight saw Spike on the floor, rubbing his head in a daze.

"Are you okay, Spike?" she asked, trotting over to him and helping him off of the floor.

"I'm okay, I think…why are there three of you?"

"Maybe you should get going now before you really hurt yourself…" Twilight said with a sheepish grin.

"My bad, Spike!" Rainbow Dash called out.

"Don't worry about it, Dash." Spike turned to leave again but stopped short when he saw Rarity trot inside, wearing a knapsack on her back and pawing through her mane with her left hoof.

"Oh, I do hope the humidity hasn't done a complete number on my mane. A mare must always look her best, no matter the situation… Goodness, Spike, I didn't even see you there! How are you?"

"Hi Rarity…" said Spike, his eyes glazing over as if in a trance. Rarity chuckled and gently pushed Spike out of her path. Spike held his arm where her hoof had made contact as if in disbelief.

"Rarity, so glad you could make it!" Twilight said with a smile.

"Hey, Rare, what's shaking?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Rainbow Dash, are you the pony responsible for all this muggy weather? It's not even June yet and my mane feels like it just stepped out of a sauna."

"Hey, I don't make the forecasts, I just carry them out."

"Don't worry, Rarity," Twilight said, "you look stunning."

"You certainly do…" Spike said with a dumb look on his face.

"Um…Spike?" Twilight asked tentatively. "Shouldn't you be getting going now?"

"What's the rush?" Spike asked.

"Oh, you poor thing, you," Rarity said, trotting over to Spike and giving his forehead a quick kiss. "I hope you have a good night."

"I will…" Spike said as he walked out of the library, feeling his forehead and blushing furiously as he left. Rarity shut the door and trotted back over to her friends.

"Man," Rainbow Dash said, "has he got the hots for you!"

"Oh, it's quite all right. Stronger colts than him have fallen whim to my charms." Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes. Twilight giggled.

"So, Rarity," Rainbow Dash asked, "did you bring the…?"

"Of course, my dear, what kind of party would it be without something to aid it along?"

"Great!" Twilight said. "While we're waiting for the others to get here, why don't we set up your sleeping bags upstairs?" Twilight asked.

"All right," Rainbow Dash said before zooming up the stairs to Twilight's room. Rarity shook her head and followed at a much slower pace. As they set up the sleeping bags they got to talking about various affairs of Ponyville, including the news that Princess Celestia herself would be giving the small town a visit during her tour of Equestria.

"Oh, I simply can't wait for Princess Celestia to come to Ponyville!" Rarity said. "I will finally have a chance to show a member of royalty how fabulous I am. Oh, I hope I make a good impression."

"You've already made a good impression!" Rainbow Dash said. "You helped us all save Equestria twice! Besides, you've got connections. Twilight, you're the princess's top student, right?"

"Well, I don't like to brag, but…" Twilight started.

"Oh, I'm so envious, dear. What I wouldn't give to study under such royalty for all my youth. What's she like? I mean, really like, behind the royal façade?"

"Oh, um…" Twilight said, unsure of where to begin. "She's really kind and generous. She's a great teacher, firm but somehow gentle at the same time. She knows when to hold your hoof through difficult challenges and when to let you figure things out on your own. You know, I mention you a lot when I write to her."

"Really?" Rarity asked, suddenly flustered. "Oh my, what do you tell her about me? I hope you've given her a great deal of detail about my boutique. I've always dreamed about designing clothes for the royal family ever since I was a little filly. How marvelous it would be to attend a ceremony and see such beauties wearing fabrics of my design!"

"Man, Rarity, cool it with the mare-crush, will you?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Next you'll be asking her to marry you."

"Come now, Rainbow Dash, don't be absurd," Rarity said, blushing a little more than she would have liked. Just then a doorbell chimed from downstairs.

"I'll get it," Twilight said with a laugh. "Try to behave till I get back, okay?" Twilight went downstairs and opened the door to let in Fluttershy, who was grateful to come in.

"Oh, it's so nice to see you, Twilight. I wanted to get here before dark because you know how scared I get at night, and I almost thought I wouldn't make it because the sun started setting before I had entered the town proper, but I'm glad I'm here now and oh dear I'm rambling. I'm really sorry, it's just that I get nervous really easily and I―"

"Relax, Fluttershy. I'm glad you're here." Twilight gave her a big smile, which Fluttershy returned meekly. Suddenly, the door opened again and Applejack, looking a bit disgruntled, trotted in along with the always-bouncy Pinkie Pie.

"Twilight, I'm super-duper excited about our Awesome Mare's Night Slumber Party! Is everypony else here yet? I hope we're not too late and we missed anything! I was in a big hurry when I left the bakery because I thought I was going to be late, so I started galloping through the town until I galloped straight into Applejack here!"

"She's been apologizin' here the whole way since," Applejack said with a sigh. "Ah told her to knock it off, and then she started apologizin' about apologizin' too much."

"Well, at least you made it in one piece," Twilight said. "Everypony else is upstairs, so once you girls set down your bags we can get started."

"Oh, goody! I call the spot under the window!" Pinkie Pie whinnied before galloping towards the stairs. Fluttershy cast her head down.

"I wanted the spot under the window…" she mumbled, but nopony heard her. Twilight led Fluttershy and Applejack up the stairs and into the bedroom, where Pinkie Pie was already laying on her sleeping bag, Rainbow Dash was flying around the room, and Rarity was combing her hair.

"Well, we're all here now!" Twilight announced. "Let the slumber party begin!"

Twilight admitted to herself that she had been nervous about going off-book for the slumber party, but as she ducked and weaved her way past flying pillows, her worries easily melted away. Perhaps it had been the alcohol Rarity had provided for the friends, but everyone was loose and having fun. Twilight laughed as she launched a pillow at Rainbow Dash so hard that he fell out of the air in shock. Rainbow Dash tried to return a pillow at Twilight's face, but she ducked and the pillow hit Rarity instead. Rarity glared at Rainbow Dash and used her magic to bombard her with five pillows. Pinkie Pie giggled mirthlessly when she saw Rainbow Dash buried under the fluffy pillows, but then Rainbow Dash hit her in the face with one of them. Applejack bucked a pillow at Rainbow Dash's rump, and Rainbow Dash turned in surprise before launching a pillow at Applejack. Upon Twilight's bed, away from all the chaos, Fluttershy was watching her friends' frantic fight. Unfortunately, Rainbow Dash launched a pillow at Rarity but missed and knocked Fluttershy off of the bed.

The fighting momentarily ceased as the five mares wondered if Fluttershy was all right. When she rose back onto the bed with the pillow in her mouth, everypony else breathed a sigh of relief…until Fluttershy whacked Rainbow Dash in the face with it. Suddenly, the normally reserved pony became a brash force to be reckoned with as she dove into the fray of the fight, laughing and blushing uncontrollably.

Eventually, though, the six mares tuckered themselves out, lying on the floor in a heap of pillows and feathers, laughing and attempting to catch their breath.

"That was the bestest, most awesomest pillow fight ever!" Pinkie declared.

"It sure was," Applejack concurred, glaring at Rainbow Dash playfully, as the cyan-colored mare had frequently targeted her.

"So what's next?" Rainbow Dash asked, leaping to her hooves as if she was ready for another round of pillow fighting.

"Do ya even have an off-switch?" Applejack asked.

"Nope, the Dash is always turned on!" Rainbow Dash declared. Applejack looked at her querulously until Rainbow Dash realized the double entendre. "Not like that, pervert!"

"Hey, I'm not the one making innuendos over here!"

"Easy girls," Twilight said, taking control over the situation. "I'm sure Rainbow Dash didn't mean it."

"I know what we can do!" Pinkie Pie suddenly interjected. "Let's play Truth or Dare! I'll go first!"

"Are…you sure, Pinkie Pie?" Twilight asked. Fluttershy and Rarity also seemed skeptical.

"Of course! What's a slumber party without a little fun and embarrassing Truth or Dare?"

"Oh, please," Rarity said, turning her snout to the air. "That is a little filly's game. How silly it is to think that we would partake in something so…immature."

"It sounds to me like Rarity has something to hide…" Twilight said with an uncharacteristically saucy grin. Rarity shot a nervous look at Twilight. Rainbow Dash perked up with excitement.

"Ooh…Twilight just burned you good! You should see your face!"

"Whatever do you mean, Rainbow Dash?"

"You're totally blushing!" Rainbow Dash said.

"I am not!" Rarity cried, though she could feel heat rising in her cheeks. Rainbow Dash and Applejack started laughing.

"You silly fillies," Rarity said, regaining her composure. "I am a pony of prestigious status, and I can assure you that I have no skeletons in my closet, so to speak."

"Well then, prove it!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "Truth or Dare?"

"Well," Rarity said, "I suppose I'll play along, and since I am in no mood to perform whatever absurd task Pinkie Pie is capable of imagining, I shall pick Truth."

"Okay!" Pinkie said, snickering. For a moment she had such a hard time containing her laughter that Rainbow Dash looked at her with a mischievous grin.

"What have you got in mind, Pinkie Pie?" she asked. "Is it something really embarrassing?"

Pinkie Pie nodded with outrageous mirth before finally blurting out "Have you ever thought about mating with a mare?"

The other ponies oohed at the question and gazed eagerly at a flustered Rarity, all except Fluttershy, who simply withdrew her hooves and turned her head away. Rarity smiled nervously and started pawing the ground awkwardly, refusing to meet the gaze of her expectant friends.

"Well…I can assure you I'm no filly-fooler; however…I have always held some curiosity about the potential power of a mare's touch." Rainbow Dash's jaw dropped, Applejack tried to suppress a giggle, Twilight simply stared at Rarity as if realizing she had never really known her before. Pinkie Pie, however, grinned lasciviously.

"Care to find out?" she asked, slowly approaching Rarity.

"Excuse me!" Rarity said. "If I had wanted a dare I would have asked for one."

"Just kidding!" Pinkie Pie chirped. "Okay, it's your turn now Rarity."

"Well, all right, if you insist. Pinkie Pie, Truth or Dare?"

"You can't do me! You have to pick somepony else!"

"Since when did that become a rule?" Rarity asked.

"Actually, Pinkie's right," Twilight said. "I remember reading about that in Slumber 101."

"Fine, if that's the way you want it. Twilight, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth, obviously," Twilight said quickly, but then wondered if she would regret it. Rarity took her time calculating what question would spark the most scandal. Rainbow Dash looked at Rarity with anticipation building in her whole body, almost the way it did right before taking off into flight.

"Have you ever kissed a stallion?" Rarity asked. Rainbow Dash seemed to deflate on the spot.

"That's the best you could come up with?" Rainbow Dash asked, crossing her forelegs in disappointment.

"Well…" Twilight said, thinking. "No, I haven't." She turned her head down in dismay, almost mimicking the way Fluttershy was sitting.

"Oh dear, don't feel bad," Rarity said. "I never have either."

"What?" Twilight asked, her head shooting up.

"It was not for want of opportunity, I assure you," Rarity said. "I've just never met a gentlecolt dashing enough for me to consider kissing."

"Oh, okay…" Twilight said with a puzzled look on her face.

"You seem surprised," Rarity said with concern etched on her face.

"Oh! It's just…you're really pretty Rarity and I guess I just kind of assumed…"

"Assumed what, dear?" Rarity asked, beginning to look offended.

"Nothing," Twilight said before realizing what she was implying. "Oh, certainly not that! I just thought you'd have a little more experience."

"It's quite all right, dear, you're not the first pony to make that assumption. You should hear some of the gossip that buzzes around Ponyville about me."

"Doesn't that make you feel…uncomfortable?" Twilight asked.

"Of course not." Rarity said, quivering slightly but holding her resolve. "Any publicity is good publicity, and if some ponies want to spread uncouth rumors about me, well then I say let them."

"Bored!" Pinkie Pie shouted. "Twilight, you have to pick somepony next!"

"Okay, let me think…" Twilight said. "Hmm…Rainbow Dash, Truth or Dare?"

"Dare. Obviously, what did you think I was gonna say?"

"Okay, hmm…" Twilight considered something crazy for Rainbow Dash to do, but she knew that Rainbow Dash had almost no inhibitions. Then she figured something out that would make Rainbow Dash crestfallen.

"Okay, for the rest of the night, you aren't allowed to use your wings to fly," Twilight said.

"What? Are you kidding me?" Rainbow Dash asked. "What happens if I do?"

"Hmm…I guess we'll have to…shave off your mane!" Twilight cried.

"Good one, Twilight," Applejack said, while Rainbow Dash scrunched up her face as if considering the option of losing her mane. Miffed at Applejack's remark, she turned to her.

"Okay, Applejack, Truth or Dare?"

"Well…" Applejack started. "Ah know ah'm the Element of Honesty and all, but that pillow fight got me feeling all riled up…ah think ah'll go with a dare."

"Excellent…" Rainbow Dash said, rubbing her fore hooves together. Pinkie Pie gasped.

"You're accepting a dare from Rainbow Dash?" she squealed.

"Oh…reckon ah shoulda thought that one through…" Applejack said.

"Too late!" Rainbow Dash said with glee. "I dare you to…kiss Rarity, full on the mouth, for a solid ten seconds!" The other ponies gasped. Fluttershy looked almost offended. Pinkie Pie's eyes bugged out. Rarity looked at Rainbow Dash as if she had just sputtered a filthy swear.

"What in heaven's name are ya thinking, Rainbow Dash?" she asked.

"Well, you said you always wondered what it'd be like to be touched by a mare…here's your chance to find out!" Rainbow Dash explained. Applejack scratched the back of her neck and swallowed nervously.

"Well...ah ain't one to back down from a challenge, so ah guess ah'll just have to do it."

"Really, Applejack, are you sure?" Rarity asked.

"Ah am, though ah don't reckon ah can say the same fer you, Rarity." Rarity looked around the room at the other mares, but then steeled herself.

"No. I will not be deemed a coward by my friends. Let's do it."

"Ooh, this is gonna be good…" Rainbow Dash said. Fluttershy even peeked over, curious at what was about to happen. Applejack trotted over to Rarity with a smile and a blush. Rarity fluttered her eyelashes at her, inviting her in.

"Hold on a second…won't this be yer first kiss?" Applejack asked.

"I suppose it would be," Rarity said, "and what better way to start than with a good friend?"

"Whoa, Rarity, I thought you weren't into this at all," Rainbow Dash said.

"Well, I've had a moment to grow accustomed to the idea, and really, it does seem rather appealing. You are quite cute, you know, Applejack, and a far cry more dependable than most of the stallions who have courted me…I daresay I should consider myself lucky."

Against Rarity's intent, this only served to make Applejack even more uncomfortable, but she swallowed her pride and placed a hoof on Rarity's neck, stroking her mane.

"Nice move," Rainbow Dash said.

"Will ya be quiet?" Applejack asked. "Twilight, can ya shut 'er up?"

"Sure, Applejack. Rainbow Dash…"

"I know, I know," Rainbow Dash said, pretending to zip her lip shut.

"Thank ya," Applejack said, returning her gaze to Rarity. The two of them leaned closer. They could feel each other's warm breath enter their nostrils, and the smell was not unpleasant. Finally, Applejack committed and closed the gap, opening her mouth and placing it against Rarity's own. Rarity gave a shudder of surprise, but relaxed into the kiss, closing her eyes and feeling Applejack's lips rub against her own. Twilight was keeping one eye on the clock, but Rainbow Dash noticed and quickly paced over to her.

"Wait," she whispered into Twilight's ear. "Let's see how long they hold it." Twilight gave Rainbow Dash a revolted look for a moment, but then smiled and nodded. Pinkie Pie's mouth was open in surprise, and Fluttershy was glancing over quickly, but then burying her head in her hooves, feeling ashamed of herself. After a full thirty seconds had passed, Applejack and Rarity finally broke off the kiss and looked away, both of them blushing.

"Whoa! You guys took three times the amount of time I asked!" Rainbow Dash cried.

"Did we really?" Rarity asked. "I must have lost track of the time."

"Yeah, right!" Rainbow Dash sneered. "You were enjoying it, weren't you?"

"Well, it was a new experience for me," Rarity said. "But, come to think of it…it wasn't as unpleasant as I would have thought at first."

"Really?" Pinkie Pie asked, in shock.

"Well," Rarity said coyly, "at first there wasn't much to it, but things got decidedly more interesting when Applejack decided to slip her tongue into my mouth…"

"Excuse me! Ah did no such thing!" Applejack cried, but her red cheeks gave her away.

"Whoa…" the other ponies said. Even Fluttershy glanced up out of curiosity, forgetting her shame.

"Applejack…?" Twilight asked, barely attempting to contain a deeply satisfying grin.

"Well, ah have kissed stallions before, and ah remember doin' that with them and…ah guess ah just did it out of instinct."

"Applejack, you dog!" Rainbow Dash cried, slapping her friend on the back. "Who knew you were such a player?" Applejack's cheeks were as bright red as the red delicious apples she had been harvesting that day.

"Well, I think Applejack has definitely earned herself a turn! Who's it gonna be, Applejack?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Ah reckon it should be you, Pinkie Pie. You started this whole thing, after all. Truth or Dare?"

"Dare!" Pinkie Pie said even more quickly than Rainbow Dash had.

"Great…" Applejack said, a wicked grin creeping up her face as she looked at Rainbow Dash. Usually fearless, Rainbow Dash quaked a little when she saw the look Applejack was giving her, as if anticipating the sweet revenge that was coming to her.

"Ah dare ya to kiss Rainbow Dash on the lips," Applejack said.

"Wow, Applejack, that's unoriginal. How lame can you get?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Oh, Sugarcube, ah meant the other pair of lips…" Applejack said. The entire room seemed to gasp, and Rarity let out an undignified squeal. Fluttershy was trying desperately to hide her face behind her hooves. Twilight felt her cheeks heat up furiously. Even Pinkie Pie seemed taken aback, but not nearly as much as Rainbow Dash.

"You want her to do what?" Rainbow Dash asked, her voice cracking on the word "what."

"You heard me, Rainbow Dash. Ah asked Pinkie Pie to―"

"I know, I know, I heard you!" Rainbow Dash said, shaking her hooves. Pinkie Pie, however, had recovered from her initial shock and returned to her normal exuberance.

"Okay. Get ready, Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed as she bounded towards her.

"Hey, hold on, Pinkie Pie!" Rainbow Dash said.

"What is it, Rainbow Dash?" Applejack said. "Scared?"

"I'm not scared!" Rainbow Dash cried too quickly. "I just need to…get into position." Rainbow Dash took a deep breath and splayed herself out on her back, spreading her hind legs wide.

"Oh, this is so undignified," Rarity said. "I can't bear to watch…" She covered her eyes with her foreleg, but peeked one of them out regardless.

"Okay, Rainbow Dash, you ready?" Pinkie Pie asked. Rainbow Dash swallowed a particularly large gulp.

"I'm ready," she said hesitantly.

"Okay, then, here I come!" Pinkie Pie said and gave Rainbow Dash's lips a moist smooch. Applejack fell over herself laughing hysterically. Twilight and Rarity looked at each other at a loss for words. Fluttershy lost all sense of self-consciousness and was staring at Rainbow Dash's loins with curiosity.

"Wow, Rainbow Dash," Pinkie Pie declared, "you taste spicy, just like a rainbow!" Applejack let out a whoop of laughter as she pounded her hooves into the ground. Rainbow Dash felt her cheeks flush hotly, groaning with embarrassment.

"Wow, Pinkie," Twilight said, "you really have quite the…indiscretion."

"Okay, Twilight! Truth or Dare?" Pinkie Pie asked. Applejack picked herself off of the floor.

"Ah can't…ah can't breathe…" she muttered to no response.

"Well," Twilight said, "seeing how the Dares are going tonight, I'm going to pick a truth."

"Smart girl," Rarity said.

"Great!" Pinkie Pie said. "Okay, so…have you ever clopped before?"

"What?" Rainbow Dash sputtered. Applejack finally stopped laughing and looked at Twilight, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, um…" Twilight said, feeling sweat start to trickle down her neck. Every second she hesitated seemed to amplify the excitement of the room, up until the point where Rainbow Dash had to say something.

"You're taking so long to answer, it's obvious what you're going to say," she said.

"Okay, fine! I've done that. Contrary to what you may think, I knew quite a few stallions in Canterlot and I'd find myself thinking about them at night in the summer when it's hard to sleep and…it just comes natural to everypony, so why not?"

"Did you…did you ever use books to help you?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Rainbow Dash, please, it's not your turn," Rarity scolded.

"No, it's okay, Rarity," Twilight said, feeling surprisingly comfortable all of a sudden. "To answer your question, Rainbow Dash, what kind of mare do you take me for? Of course as soon as I started feeling this way I did extensive research in my spare time and I learned a lot about…you know…positions"―Rainbow Dash scoffed―"and erogenous zones, and there were even a few books with pictures to help…get you in the mood."

"Did you ever use Playmare?" came a whisper. Everypony turned in disbelief to Fluttershy, whom they had nearly forgotten. Rainbow Dash stared at Fluttershy in disbelief.

"Well…honestly, Fluttershy, no, I didn't, but I can see where it would be useful in theory."

"Yeah, me too…in theory…" Fluttershy said, burying her head back behind her hooves.

"Well," Twilight said, trying to diffuse the awkward silence that had settled, "I think that's enough Truth or Dare for one night."

"Oh, but Fluttershy didn't get a turn!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Pinkie Pie," Twilight said, "I'm sure she doesn't want to play, so let's just―"

"No," Fluttershy muttered, "she's right. I think I should get a turn." Twilight looked at Fluttershy in disbelief.

"Really?" Fluttershy nodded.

"Okay then…Truth or Dare?"

"I think I'll go with a dare, if that's okay with everypony…"

"Sure."

"That's fine."

"No problem."

"All right," Twilight said. At first she considered going easy on Fluttershy, but then she decided that enough barriers had been crossed tonight that stepping over one more wouldn't do any damage. She decided on a compromise.

"Fluttershy, I dare you to make a sex noise," Twilight said.

"A what?" Fluttershy asked.

"You know," Twilight said, "like you're…coming."

"Coming where?" Fluttershy asked. Twilight tried to phrase her answer delicately.

"Like you're having an orgasm," Rainbow Dash blurted out, causing Twilight's stomach to zing.

"Oh, um…okay. I guess I'll try." The other ponies leaned in towards Fluttershy, expecting something feeble. They reared back in surprise when Fluttershy let out a decidedly passionate cry of ecstasy. Rarity put her hooves over her mouth.

"Whoa, Fluttershy," Rainbow Dash said. "Is that what you actually sound like?"

"Not exactly," Fluttershy said. "I toned it down for you ponies. It's a lot higher-pitched when I'm actually clopping."

"Okay…" Twilight said quickly, before everypony else had finished processing what Fluttershy had just said. "I'm feeling tuckered out so I think we should call it a night. Does that sound good?"

"Yes, indeed," Rarity said. "I do need my beauty sleep, after all."

"Same here," Applejack said. "Ah never stay up this late, on account of waking up at the crack of dawn back on the farm."

"Okay, everypony. Sleepy time!" Pinkie Pie declared, rushing to her sleeping bag.

"Good night, everypony," Twilight said once everypony had settled in. They all said good night in turn.

"And seriously, nopony better clop in here. If you're feeling that hot under the bridle, take it to the bathroom," Rainbow Dash said. Everypony else chose not to respond as they settled in for bed.
