>The pounding of the rain and the rumble of thunder outside is loud.
>So loud, in fact, that you almost don't hear the soft knocking at your bedroom door.
>You lie in bed, wondering if you imagined the sound.
>*knock knock*
>You definitely heard it this time.
>And you think you can guess who it is.
>The door opens slowly, with not even a creak.
>A small face slowly peeks around it.
>"D-daddy? Are you awake?"
>It's little Fluttershy.
>She was always a bit more timid than the others.
>You turn towards her before responding.
"Yes Fluttershy, I'm awake. Having trouble sleeping?"
>She nods.
>You know what she wants, this is far from the first time.
>You sigh.
"You want to sleep with me tonight?"
>She nods again, this time a bit more vigorously.
"Alright, come on."
>She enters the room and closes the door before approaching shyly and climbing onto the bed with you.
>Looks like she has her stuffed bunny with her.
>She loves that thing, takes it with her everywhere.
>Fluttershy settles into the bed beside you before giving you a hug.
>"Good night Daddy. I love you."
"I love you too, sweetheart."
>You lie there for a while, just listening.
>The pitter patter of the rain on your house.
>The deep, rolling rumble of the thunder that had scared your Shy into your room.
>It was calming.
>Maybe someday she'll learn to enjoy it too.
>...
>*knock knock*
>"Dad?"
>That isn't Fluttershy.
>You turn your head to look at the newest bedroom intruder.
>It's Twilight.
>As much as she likes to act mature, even Twilight gets scared sometimes.
>"Is it okay if I, um, stay with you tonight?"
>You scooch over a little and pat the empty space next to you.
>Without a word, she clambers over the covers and settles in next to you.
>When she finally gets comfortable, she smiles back up at you.
>"Thanks Dad. Goodnight."
>You lean over kiss her on her forehead.
"Goodnight, my little bookworm.
>She closes her eyes, a small smile on her face.
>...
>You barely have time to settle down yourself before you hear it.
>*knock knock*
>You look at the door once more.
>This time it's Applejack, with Rarity in tow.
>As much as your roughest girl and your little princess bicker with each other, they were still sisters.
>"Hey Pa? Me and Rarity-"
>Rarity nudges the blonde girl and scowls.
>"Ahem, Rarity and I~"
>Rarity nods her approval.
>"We was wondering if we could stay in your bed. You know, just for tonight."
>Rarity steps forward, nodding.
>"This thunder is awful loud, and I need my beauty sleep!"
>She bats her eyelids at you.
>"Yeah, and I didn't want to leave Rarity alone or anything. You know how she is!"
>You chuckle.
>You know the truth behind their excuses.
"Okay girls, hop on."
>They do so gladly, positioning themselves as close to you as possible without crowding the other two already present.
>The girls say goodnight before nodding off.
>Your precious girls...
>...
>The rain pounds away at the windows.
>The thunder comes in louder and more frequently.
>Despite this, your little girls continue to sleep.
>Lightning flashes.
>"Poppa!"
>Or maybe not.
>You hear a startled yip, just barely managing to be heard over the crashing thunder.
>Before you can react, you feel a tiny body slam on top of yours, knocking the wind out of you.
"Oof! Dash, what's the matter?"
>"I-I, um, w-wasn't scared or anything! I was just checking to make sure that you weren't scared!
>You roll you eyes.
>Of course you were, Dash.
>"D-don't worry, Poppa! I'm here to keep you safe!"
>The rainbow-haired girl pats you on the chest, while trying to put on a brave face.
>Trying, and failing.
>Another rolling boom of the thunder sends Dash scurrying under the covers, clinging to you like a barnacle.
>She peeks back out at you before smiling sheepishly.
>You just smile back, patting her on her multicolored scalp.
>As you do so, you here a shuffling and a yawn at the door.
>It's Pinkie.
>She wipes her eyes before yawning once more.
>"Dad, why is everyone on your bed?"
>She looks at you with confusion before her eyes bulge in realization.
>"ARE WE HAVING A SLEEPOVER?!"
>You wince.
"Pinkie, keep it down! Your sisters are trying to sleep!"
>Correction, they WERE trying to sleep.
>Pinkies outburst caused all of them to jump.
>"Oh, s-sorry..."
>As they all get their bearings, you try to calm Pinkie down.
"Hey it's alright Pink. You want to join our sleepover?"
>Her face lights up with a huge grin as she nod so hard your afraid her head might fly off.
"Hop up then. Try not to trample your sisters while your at it.
>She quickly does so, somehow crawling over her siblings without touching any of them.
>She drapes herself over you, Dash having (begrudgingly, and with a lot of grumbling) moved to share her space on top of you.
>Pinkie pecks you on the cheek and says goodnight, before yawning one more time.
>...
>It's a wonderful day for a walk in the woods.
>The sun's rays peek down through the canopy, lending their light to the mottled hues of greens and browns surrounding the trail.
>You've always enjoyed coming out here with her.
>"An early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day" is what she told you one time.
>You've found that there was truth in that.
>There she walks, next to you, rambling on about the forest and animals, as she always does.
>You briefly wonder if little one will inherit any of that from her.
>Your thought is interrupted when a car beeps angrily at you as it zooms past.
>The traffic is becoming a real problem in this part of the city.
>You really need to get to library, quick.
>She's there waiting for you.
>You know how she hates tardiness.
>You quickly cross the street, this taking care in regards to the vehicles.
>You are about to step into the library when a hand on your shoulder stops you.
>"You're not gonna leave me hanging, are you?"
>She stands behind you with a smirk on her face.
>"You remember what I told you, last time I saw you? What would happen?"
>Her smirks widens into a manic grin.
>"I never forget."
>You open your eyes.
>The rain is gone, though you can still hear far off thunder.
>Your girls are sprawled out on the bed, none the wiser to your sudden awakening.
>It was one of those dreams again.
>You've been wondering when they would show up again, but it's not like you missed them.
>You might need to talk with Luna again soon.
>For now, though, you're content to lie here with your girls.
>Your precious girls.
