>Pinkie Pie asks all kinds of questions as you help her bake her goods >Where you’re from, what you are, how you got here >Not unlike Fluttershy >Except, Pinkie steered clear from the personal questions >She probably knows better than to ask about your private business >Or just didn’t want to >…then why did Fluttershy? >…well, not really important >You put the thought out of your head >It’s gotten late into the afternoon as you mix batter, planning your party with the pink p0ny >”And we should have music! And games! And STREAMERS! What party is complete without streamers!?” >You giggle to yourself Yeah, we’ll definitely need all of those! >You continue mixing your batter What about sweets? We have to have sweets at a party! >”OF COURSE!!” >You smile widely >No one has ever made you feel more at home than Pinkie >She’s a lot like you, actually >A little more eccentric and hyper >But definitely a lot like you >Smiley, optimistic, spreading cheer >She’ll definitely be your go-to p0ny >You and Pinkie pour the cake batter into a pan and throw it in the oven >You’ve already made dozens of cupcakes and cookies, so there’s not much else to do while you wait >Pinkie takes off her apron and hops up on the island table, making herself comfortable >You lean against it and cross your arms >”So you stayed over at Fluttershy’s last night, huh?” she asks >You glance over to her Yup. Letting me crash there was real kind of her. >She giggles >”Of course! Fluttershy is the kindest!” Yeah, >You agree with a smile And a little… >You stop yourself >…that may be a little rude of you… >Pinkie throws on a puzzled expression and tilts her head >”A little what, Emmy?” >…Gosh, you don’t want to offend her or anyone… >…but you’ve felt a sort of bond with Pinkie >You should be able to tell her your feelings I dunno, Pinkie Pie. Just a little… awkward. >She tilts her head the other way She seems all tense around me. And it kind of rubs off. I don’t know, maybe she’s just nervous around me? >Pinkie giggles >”Oh Emmy, Fluttershy’s… well, shy! She’s nervous around a lot of p0nies!” >You figured as much… >…honestly, Femanon, you’re overthinking things Yeah, you’re right, Pinkie. >You say smiling >You glance out the window >The sun sure is setting fast… …maybe I ought to go find her. It’s getting late. >Pinkie gasps >”Oh, but we still have so much to plan for tomorrow!” >She gasps again >”OH I KNOW!” she cheers, “How about we have a sleepover!?” A sleepover? >”Yeah!” >She dashes over to the cupboard with lightning speed >”I’ve got—“ >She whips out a tray of— >”Cookies!” >She drops them to the table and speeds off somewhere else >”And chocolate milk!” >She throws it back into the fridge >”And we can talk and snack and plan more and just hang out!” >You’re speechless >How did she move so… >You shake your head >Actually, a sleepover sounds… pretty appealing >You can’t remember the last time any of your girlfriends had one >It should be… fun I’d love to, Pinkie. >You say with a smile >She beams >”GREAT!” But… >You  lower your head and think for a bit Maybe I should… I don’t know, tell Fluttershy? >Pinkie hops over >”Sure! She should know, right?” >Yeah… >Wait, should she? >She’s not your caretaker or anything… >Still… >She found you, and she housed you for the night >…and you don’t want her to feel left out… >…yeah, just go tell her, Femanon >Maybe you and Fluttershy can go do something tomorrow …yeah. I’ll head over to tell her, and be right back, okay? >Pinkie’s smile is all the answer you need   >The sun has completely set now, and you’re winding the path to Fluttershy’s cottage >The lights are all on, and the babbling brook sends wonderful watery tunes into the air >Living here must be a dream… >You knock on the door a few times >You can hear some rustling behind it >Then, it opens up >The little yellow winged mare gazes up to you >”Oh THERE you are, Femanon! I was wondering when you’d come back…” >You smile at her, a little awkwardly You know, just thought I’d come by and… let you know about my day. >”Oh, of course, I’d love to hear about it! I’ll get some tea started!” That sounds lovely. >You and Fluttershy get settled in on her couch >She makes a kettle of tea for the two of you, and you sip and converse about the day --And we’re aiming for tomorrow night. It should be a fun time. You’re coming, right? >She nods happily >”Oh, I wouldn’t miss it for the world!” >You sip your tea That’s great. >You place it down on the coffee table Actually, Fluttershy… about the planning… >Here we go… >…why is this such a big deal? >She isn’t your mom! >She’s not going to take it hard… right…? We’re not actually done yet… Pinkie asked me to spend the night at her place, so we can finish up. Is that… >You glance down to your feet …you know, okay…? >You twiddle your thumbs >It’s silent… >…what’s she thinking? >You glance up to her, getting a look on her face >Is that… shock? >She locks eyes with you >And her entire expression changes >”Why sure, Femanon! I don’t think you really need my ‘permission’ for something like that!” >A weight is lifted from your chest >Wow, did she really say that? >Maybe your perception of Fluttershy was way off >You smile Thanks, Flutters. >She’s smiling too Hey, I don’t want you to feel left out or anything, though. You’re my friend too. Why don’t we do something tomorrow before the party? Hang out? >She absolutely beams >”Oh I’d love to!” >You sigh a sigh of relief >There we go… >No one’s feeling left out or offended >”Just…” >Hmm? >You take another look over to her face >She looks like what you probably did when you thought she’d take your news poorly >Nervous, anticipating a response… hmm… >”Well… you don’t have to… *mumble *” >She mumbles and glances away …what was that, Fluttershy? >She looks back to you >”Well… you don’t need to… share a bed in a sleepover… right…?” >You look to her with a puzzled look >…where did that come from? No…? >…wait, do you? I don’t think so… I mean, I don’t plan to share a bed with her… >A look of relief washes over her face Wait… why? >Aaaand it’s gone again >”Oh! Um—“ >She laughs nervously >”I’m just… curious…?” >She smiles a nervous, teeth-showing smile >You think you hear some kind of squeaking noise as she does it >…it’s better not to question this, you suppose Alright… >She exhales Anyway, Pinkie Pie’s probably waiting. I’ll stop by tomorrow so we can hang out, okay? >She smiles >”Okay, Femanon, have fun!”   >You and Pinkie Pie have a great time >You talk more about the party, about guests, food, etc, all over a plate of the best cookies you’ve ever eaten >She talks about her other best friends that you HAVE to meet >They all sound like great p0nies to know >Maybe even more friends to have here >You exchange a few jokes and share a few laughs >Pinkie Pie, in her onesie pajamas, rolls onto her back and laughs, kicking her feet into the air >”Emmy, you’re so silly!” she cries as she giggles >You’re in a giggling fit too >Gosh, you haven’t had this much fun in God knows how long >Wiping the tears from your eyes, you take a glance at Pinkie’s clock >Almost 12am >Pinkie notices your gaze >”Thinking about heading to bed, Emmy?” >You look to her Heh, yeah, maybe. >You yawn I have some things I want to do with Fluttershy before the party. Want to make sure I’m up in time for them. >”No prob! We can head to bed now!” >She hops up and trots past you >”We already planned the whole party, anyway!” >You smile Yeah! >She starts digging through a closet >”Hey, Emmy, you don’t mind sleeping on the ground or anything do you?” >She pulls out several sheets, a comforter, and a pillow >”It’s just that I don’t have a spare bed. It’ll be reeeeeally comfy!” >You smile That sounds great, Pinkie Pie. >And here you were a tad worried she’d ask you to bed with her >…huh, another thing she hasn’t done that Fluttershy has… >…maybe sharing a bed isn’t common here…? >Then why did Fluttershy want to? >…or maybe it is common, and Pinkie’s the odd one >Looking at Pinkie Pie, that may be the case >Why are you thinking about these things? >You shake them from your head >Pinkie Pie has already set up a beautiful looking sleeping area not too far from her own bed >”TA-DAAA!” she announces gleefully as she reveals it >You laugh and clap your hands softly It looks great! >She beams a hearty smile at you >”Okay then!” >She launches herself into her bed >”Night Emmy!” >She crashes down onto the bed, the covers bouncing up high and falling neatly down onto her >She’s already snoring >…wow, this mare >You laugh softly to yourself >You head over to your sleeping area and take off your pants >You place them to the side and get nice and settled in >…Hmm… >…well… you’re not sharing a bed with anyone… >…yeah, you probably should >You reach around your back and unhook your bra >You place it down next to your pants Ohhh… much better. >Finally… >You settle down into your area once more >And drift off…   [spoiler]>”… I just don’t know…”[/spoiler] [spoiler]>”I mean, I don’t THINK…”[/spoiler] [spoiler]>”She’s just so…”[/spoiler] >You’re having a dream about you and Pinkie Pie >You’re hanging out at the party together >It’s… fun [spoiler]>”Maybe just…”[/spoiler] >In your sleep, you feel a little tingly >The dream kind of stops itself  [spoiler]>”Oh… oh my…~”[/spoiler] >Very tingly… [spoiler]>”…rub… not a… oh, I can’t, I…”[/spoiler] [spoiler]>”But… was saying that…”[/spoiler] [spoiler]>”…just a peek…”[/spoiler] >…you’re not very comfortable… Ughh… [spoiler]>”…! Oh … shouldn’t have…”[/spoiler] [spoiler]>”…hope she… awake…”[/spoiler] >You move a little in your sleep [spoiler]>”Eep!”[/spoiler]   >Your eyes flutter open silently >You gaze up to the ceiling >Weird how your body works… >Having a simple dream, then awake just like that… >You turn your head >Huh… >A slight draft comes into the room >Was the window always open…? >You re-adjust yourself >Wait… >You glance down to your body >Your shirt has been pulled up to around your neck >Your breasts are completely exposed >You quickly pull it back down >You glance over to Pinkie >…still asleep >…okay, good >No one saw anything >You turn over and try to get back to sleep >…holy… wait… >You sit up >You dart your hand downward and start patting your crotch >You’re… >…you’re damp >…like, REALLY damp. Wet, even >You can feel your face blush >How did that…? >That’s not possible, it’s… >…unless… >…oh my… >…no way… could it…? >You glance over to the snoozing Pinkie Pie >Happily sawing logs >Your mouth gapes >…you mean, she’s a great friend… >And you don’t even… you mean, she’s a girl… and a p0ny… >But… >Could a simple dream…? >You pat yourself again >…could a dream really do that…?   End of Part 2
