MLP FIM Fan Edition 7

My Little Pony Friendship is Magic
Look Before You Sleep
Fan Edition

Max Narrates: "I've always seen Applejack and Rarity argue a lot due to the fact that they have different views on how to live.  How would they handle a dire situation though?  That's what we'll see soon."

Outside in Ponyville, it seems like a usual sunny day… until Sunny Delight places a grey cloud in the way of the sun.  Down on the ground, Ponies are hard at work taking down some loose branches and making sure that nothing goes wrong when the planned storm comes.

Rarity works placing a large branch back onto a tree: "Hmm…Hah!"  Rarity uses her magic to turn the leaves on the branches into special leaf statues: "Perfect."

However, a lasso comes in and grabs the branch, and yanks it out.  The hurler, Applejack spits the rope out of her mouth.

Applejack: "Just take the broken limbs down, Rarity. Don'tcha all care about nothing other than prettifyin'?"

Rarity: "Some pony has to. You were making an absolute mess of the town square, Applejack."

Rarity looks at the ground, which is littered with branches, leaves, and small pebbles.

Applejack: "Yeah, well, the storm's gonna make an even bigger mess if we don't prune all these loose branches so they don't tumble down on anypony."

Rarity: "I simply cannot imagine why the Pegasus ponies would schedule a dreadful downpour this evening and ruin what could have been a glorious sunny day."  *By this time, the Pegasus ponies have fully put up all the clouds covering up the sky.

Applejack: "*sigh* Think more practical-like, will ya? They accidentally skipped a scheduled sprinkle last week, so we need a doozy of a downpour to make up for it, is all."

When she finishes, the rain starts to fall down.

Rarity: "Oh no! My wonderfully styled mane shall be ruined!"

Applejack: "Ya shoulda hurried up and finished the job already."

Rarity starts running about: "Oh! Ah! Oh! It's coming down too fast! Ah! Oh! Ah! Help me!"

Applejack looks around and spots a wooden table: "Uh, there. Hunker down to yer heart's content whilst I finish this."

Rarity heads over, but as she gets to the table: "Oh, no, no, no!"

Applejack: "What now?"

Rarity: "I prefer not to get my hooves muddy."

Applejack: "Guh. There is just no pleasin' ya, is there? Everything's got to be just so."

Rarity: "Well, and how does muddying my hooves serve any useful purpose?"

Applejack: "Y'all wouldn't know useful if it came up and bit cha."

Rarity: "*laugh* That doesn't even make any sense."

Applejack: "Does so."

Rarity: "Does not."

Applejack: "Does so."

Rarity: "Does not."

Applejack: "Does so."

Rarity: "Does not."

Applejack: "Does so infinity.  Hah!"

Rarity: "Does not infinity plus one. Hah!"

The two just glare at each other.

Rarity: "What say we go our separate ways before one of us says something she will regret."

Applejack: "I reckon y'all're gonna say something you'll regret first."

Rarity: "On the contrary. I believe it shall most certainly be you who says something you will regret first."

Applejack: "I'm not sayin' anythin'."

Rarity: "Nor am I."

Applejack: "Y'all just be on yer way, then."

Rarity: "After you!"

The two soon start to back up from each other… until Lightning and Thunder booms out and sends the two cowering together.  The storm starts to pick up on them.

Rarity: "Perhaps we should stick together for now and find some shelter."

Applejack: "Uh-huh, perhaps we should. And fast."

*Opening*

As the storm picks up, Applejack is seen hiding under the muddy table.

Applejack: "Nice and dry under here, sort'a."

Rarity still won't go under the table: "Oh! Unacceptable."

Voices: "HEY!" "APPLEJACK!  RARITY!"

The two ponies try to find the source of the voices calling to them.

Voices: "APPLEJACK!  RARITY!" "OVER HERE!"

The ponies soon find the source of the voices being: "Twilight?  Max?"

Twilight: "Come inside, girls, quick."

The two rush their way over to the Library as fast as they can.  However, Applejack skids to a stop right outside: "Whoa, Nelly. Is inside a tree really the best place to be in a lightning storm?"

Twilight: "It is if you have a magical lightning rod protecting your home like I do. Come on in!"

Rarity: "Hah! We are most grateful for your invitation."

Applejack starts to come in: "Thank ya kindly for yer hospitality."

However, Rarity stops her from entering the house and points at her muddy hooves.

Rarity: "Uh, do be a polite houseguest and go wash up please, won't you?"

Applejack: "*grumble* If I gotta spend one more second with that fussbudget Rarity today, I can't be held responsible for what I'm gonna do."

Twilight: "Some storm, huh? The Pegasus ponies sure have outdone themselves this time. I hope you and Applejack don't have any trouble getting home."

Rarity: "It may indeed be a problem."

Twilight: "Well, you're welcome to stay if need be. Spike is away in Canterlot on royal business."

Max: "So Twilight and I are the only ones around."

Twilight gaps after getting an idea: "You and Applejack should totally sleep over! We'll have a slumber party! I've always wanted one of those."

Rarity: "…Oh! Uh, goodness. Uh, I do believe I have another engagement scheduled for this evening that completely slipped my mind until just now. *nervous laugh* Ah, silly me, I can't possibly stay here all night… with Applejack."

Twilight goes over to the book case and picks out a book with her magic to show to Rarity.

Rarity: "Slumber 101: All You've Ever Wanted to Know About Slumber Parties But Were Afraid to Ask."

Twilight: "My own personal copy. It's a fantastic reference guide. You should see the table of contents. I've been waiting for a chance to use it, and today is the day! This is gonna be so great!"

Rarity: "Yes, uh, great. *Laughs nervously*."

She looks outside to see Applejack struggling with the water hose, included being sprayed on by it and Rarity just looks away with worry.

Max: "Well you "Mares" enjoy your slumber party, I'll be sleeping in the basement then."  *Heads downstairs.

*Fast forward

Applejack finally comes inside with clean hooves, but as she gets inside…

Applejack: "*gasp* What in tarnation..."

She sees Rarity placing some mud like substance on Twilight's face with some on herself.

Applejack: "Now wait just a goll-darn minute. Ya make me wash the mud off my hooves, but it's okay for y'all ta have mud all over yer faces?"

Rarity: "Silly! This is called a mud mask. It's to refresh and rejuvenate your complexion."

Twilight: "We're giving each other makeovers! Tee-hee! We have to do it, it says so in the book."

Twilight brings the book over to Applejack.

Applejack: "Slumber 101: Everything You... *O_o* Oh hey, heh, would'ja look at the time. I gotta skidaddle on home quick. I'm powerful late for, uh, fer somethin'. Uh, g'night."

However, a quick clap of thunder and lightning brings her right back inside.

Applejack: "Or maybe I'll stay here for a spell."

Twilight: "Hurray slumber party!"

Max's voice from downstairs: "GAG!"

Applejack doesn't look too happy though, but soon she has some mud splattered all over her face and rubbed by Rarity: "Blahch. *Cucumbers on eyes* What in the world is this for?"

Rarity: "*sigh* To reduce the puffiness around one's eyes, of course."

Applejack: "Puffiness-schmuffiness! *Eats the Cucumbers* That's good eatin'! *Chews loudly*"

Twilight *back at the book*: "Tee-hee! Isn't this exciting? We'll do everything by the book, and that will make my slumber party officially fun."

Rarity: "Did you hear that, Applejack? You certainly would not want to do anything that would ruin Twilight's very first slumber party, would you?"

Applejack: "Of course not, 'n you wouldn't either, I reckon."

Rarity: "So do we have an agreement?"

Applejack: "You betcha. *spits on hoof and holds out for a hoof bump*"

Rarity: "Oh! Gross! You know, there's messy and there's just plain rude."

Applejack: "You know, there's fussy 'n there's just plain gettin' on my nerves."

Rarity: "Fortunately, I can get along with any pony, no matter how difficult she may be."

Applejack: "Oh yeah? Well, I'm the get-alongin'ist pony yer ever gonna meet."

Rarity: "That's not even a word."

Twilight appears right between her friends hand hugs them: "This is going to be the bestest slumber party ever! Yay!"

Applejack and Rarity *not so enthusiastic*: "Yay…"

They knew this was indeed going to be a long night.

*Fast forward

As the storm rages on through the night, the mares continue their slumber party.

Rarity: "So, how are you getting along over there, Applejack?"

*Zooms out to show all the mares are wearing tons of hair curlers for their manes and tails… even Applejack (who's not too happy with this).

Applejack: "Jes' fine, Rarity."

Twilight: "This is so awesome! *giggle* Makeovers, check. *Her magic checks her first part of the book and then turns everyone's mane and tail back to normal* Ooh, it says here we have to tell ghost stories. Who wants to go first?"

Applejack: "Me! I'd like to tell y'all the terrifying tale of the prissy ghost who drove everypony crazy with her unnecessary neatness. *Spooky voice* Oo-oo! *Normal voice* I'm sure y'all are familiar with that one."

Rarity: "Never heard of it. I have a much better one. It's the horrifying story of the messy, inconsiderate ghost who irritated every pony within a hundred miles! *Spooky voice* Ooo!"

Applejack: "That's not a real story. You made it up."

Rarity: "It is a ghost story, they're all made up."

The next thunder clap causes a black-out.   Twilight turns on a lap filled with fireflies.

Twilight: "I've got one! This story is called The Legend of the Headless Horse. It was a dark and stormy night, just like this one. And three ponies were having a slumber party, just like this one..."

The storm rages on as she continues on.

*Fast forward

Twilight: "and just when the last pony thought she was safe, there, standing right behind her, just inches away was… THE HEADLESS HORSE!"

After another thunder clap, a headless horse stands in place of Twilight and scares Applejack and Rarity.

Applejack and Rarity: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

They look again to see it was just Twilight with a bed sheet over her head.

Twilight: "It actually worked!  Thunder Star taught me that little trick."

Rarity and Applejack look at each other and push away from each other.

Applejack: "Well it's not like I was scared n' all."

Rarity: "Well of course, it was just a trick and all…"

*Just then, the lights black out again.

The girls scream quickly.

Rarity: "Is this another trick?"

Twilight: "I hope…."

Applejack: "Well where's the lights?"

Spooky voice: "Soooo, you enjoy ghost stories do you?  Well let's see how you like it when the stories are real!"

A small light comes on and shows a scary black knight with evil face paint.

Mares: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

They look to see the black armored knight is on his back laughing like crazy… in Max's voice.  The lights came on to reveal it was Max.

Max: "HAHAHAHAHAHA!  You should of seen your faces!"

The three mares look at each other and split up.

Twilight: "Ghost story, check."

Max: "I should head back downstairs now…"

Twilight: "Now, who wants s'mores?"

Max suddenly comes right back over: "Did someone say s'mores?  I could stay by for s'mores."

Twilight: "I thought slumber parties were just for mares?"

Max: "Hey, I'm living here too."

*Fast forward*

Applejack is roasting marshmallows and Max is busy eating one already made.  Rarity tells Twilight how to place s'mores together.

Rarity: "Then you place one marshmallow on the top of the chocolate and be sure it's centered… that's critical… and then carefully put another perfectly square graham cracker on the top. And done. Ta-da!"

Twilight: "Ooo!"

Applejack: "Nah, ya just eat 'em."  *Chomps down on the S'more… then belches.*

Rarity: "*sigh* You could at least say excuse me."

Applejack: "Aw, I was just about to, but you interrupted me. Pardon."

Twilight: "S'mores, check. Now the next item of fun we have to do is Truth or Dare."

Max: "And now I'm gone."

Rarity: "I dare Applejack to do something carefully and neatly for a change."

Applejack: "Oh yeah? Well I dare Rarity ta lighten up and stop obsessin' over every last little detail, for a change."

Max suddenly zips back: "And now I'm back."

Rarity: "I think the truth of the matter is that some pony could stand to pay a little more attention to details."

Applejack: "And I think the truth is some pony oughta quit with her fussin' so the rest of us can get things done."

Twilight looks back at the book: "Um, I don't think this is how the game's supposed to work. You have to give an honest answer to any question or do whatever any pony dares you to do."

Applejack: "I dares you to step outside and let your precious, tidy mane get ruined again."

Rarity gasps.

Max: "Oh boy…"

Twilight: "You have to. It's the rule."

Applejack: "Ha!"

Rarity: "Fine!"

Rarity steps outside and gets rained on.  A few seconds later, she comes back inside… soaking wet and her mane and tail all down.

Applejack: "*laughs*"

She stops laughing until Rarity *pissed off* walks over to Applejack: "Okay. I dare Applejack to play dress-up in a fru-fru, glittery, lacey outfit."

Applejack gasps, glares at Rarity angrily and turns around.  She comes back in with a princess like outfit… and not too pleased.

Max just bursts out laughing.

Applejack: "Happy?"

Rarity: "Very."

Twilight: "Um, do I ever get a turn?"

Applejack: "I dare ya to enter the next rodeo when it comes to town."

Rarity: "I dare you not to enter the next rodeo that comes to town."

Applejack: "I dare ya to not comb your mane a hundred times before bed."

Rarity: "And I dare you to comb yours just once."

Max: "This is the most interesting game of "Truth and Dare" that I have ever seen."

Twilight: "I, uh, I think we should check off Truth or Dare and move on. Let's see what our next fun-fun-fun thing is, shall we? Hm, what does this mean? Pillow fight?"

Rarity: "Oh, please. I am not at all interested in participating in something so crude."

*Pillow smacks Rarity right in the face.

Rarity: "Oh! It! Is! On!"

Rarity grabs the Pillow that hit her and tosses it right back at Applejack, who gets hit right in the face.  Applejack turns around and kicks multiple pillows with her back hooves.  All of them smack Rarity right in the face.

Max: "Maybe I should head downstairs again…"

Max tries to sneak down stairs, but one of Rarity's pillows she kicked right back at Applejack smacks him right in the back and sends him tumbling downstairs and lands at the bottom with a crash.

Max's voice: "Ow… maybe I'll stay down here for a while…"

Applejack uses her lasso to send a few over to Rarity.  Rarity however gets serious and uses her Magic to stop the Pillows and sends them right back at her.

In the middle of the fight, Twilight pops up and says: "Oh, I get it! Pillow, fight! Fun!" *Smack and Smack* *In dizzy tone: "Uh, girls, maybe we should take it down a notch?"

Applejack *dodges pillows*: "I will if she will."

Rarity *dodges pillows*: "She started it."

Some more pillows land on Twilight.  She gets up and spits out some feathers: "Maybe we should just call it a night and get some sleep?"

*Fast forward*

With the lights off, Twilight sleeps in her bed while Applejack and Rarity are forced to share Max's *which has been specially made for them*.

Rarity: "Keep your muddy hooves on your side of the bed."

Applejack: "My hooves ain't muddy."

Rarity: "They were. There might still be a little on them."

Applejack: "There ain't. See?" *Shows hoof*

Rarity: "Eww!"  *Pulls the bed sheet towards her and off Applejack.

Applejack: "Now who's bein' inconsiderate?"

Applejack grabs the sheet and pulls it over her and off Rarity.

Rarity gets off the bed: "I have to make the bed again so the blanket will be right. Get up." *Pushes Applejack off the bed.

Applejack: "Hey!"

Rarity uses her magic to reset the bed sheet.  Applejack tries to climb back in, but is stopped by Rarity.

Rarity: "Ah ah ah! You'll ruin it. You have to do it like this."  She slowly and carefully gets back under the bed sheets without ruining it.

Applejack: "Yeah, that's not gonna happen.  GERONIMO!"

Applejack lands right on the bed and sends Rarity flying off it.

Rarity: "HEY!"  *THUD*

Applejack: "Aaahhh…"

Rarity: "You did that on purpose."

Applejack: "Uh… yeah."

Rarity: "Get up so I can fix it again."

Applejack: "Can't hear ya, I'm asleep."  *fake snores*

Rarity grabs the sheets with her mouth and pulls them off the bed.

Applejack: "I ain't budgin'."

Rarity: "You will if you want any blanket."

Applejack grabs the sheet, but soon they enter a tug of war for the sheet.

Applejack: "Give it back!"

Rarity: "I will not!"

Applejack: "Yes, you will!"

Rarity: "Won't!"

Applejack: "Will!"

Rarity: "Won't!"

Applejack: "Will!"

Rarity: "Won't!"

Applejack: "Will!"

Twilight suddenly gets up and yells: "ENOUGH!"  The ponies stop the tug of war and look at Twilight, who brings the book in front of them: "It says right here that the number one thing you're supposed to do at a slumber party is have fun, and thanks to you two I can't check that off!"

Applejack: "I've been tryin' my darndest to get along."

Rarity: "No, it is I who've been trying my best."

Applejack: "No, it was me."

Rarity: "No, it was I."

Applejack: "Me!"

Rarity: "I!"

Twilight: "I hope you're happy, both of you. You've ruined my very first slumber party. The makeovers, the s'mores, Truth or Dare, the pillow fight... I mean, is there anything else that could possibly go wrong?"

Suddenly, a lightning strike strikes a nearby tree.

Twilight: "…sorry I asked…"

The mares turn on the lights and look outside and gasp to see that a tree is about to fall on the nearby house.

Applejack: "Ya see? That's why we needed to take down all those little branches in town, not spiffy 'em up."

Rarity *looking a bit guilty*: "But I…"

Applejack: "Outta my way, missy! Time's a-wastin'."

Applejack opens up the window and prepares to launch out a lasso.

Rarity: "Wait! Stop! Don't!"

Applejack: "No watin'! No stopin'! Doin'!"  She launches the lasso, which grabs the tree part and saves the house: "And that, my friend, is what we call gettin' 'er done."

However, the mistake she made was pulling the rope back in.  Twilight and Rarity cry out as the tree suddenly comes straight into the room and crowds the room.

Max comes upstairs *with tired bloodshot eyes*: "Girls, what is going on up here?!  I can hear it from…"  *looks up and notices the tree: "…Tree… there's a tree in the house.  *long pause* Yup… I'm going back to sleep."

Rarity cries out as she's trying to cover her head from the storm: "I tried to tell you it would come crashing down in here!"

Applejack gets back up: "Well, ya should'a tried harder!"

Rarity gets to work trying to clean up the mess while avoiding getting dirty.  Twilight pops up, dizzy from the initial crash.

Applejack: "I'm mighty sorry, Twilight."

Twilight: "It's... Well, it's not okay. There's a giant tree branch in the middle of my bedroom. And the book doesn't say anything about having a giant tree branch at your slumber party. Or at least I haven't found that entry yet. Ur... ah!"

Rarity tries her best to place back the books that were knocked off the book shelf.

Applejack: "What in tarnation are y'all doin' over there?"

Rarity: "Cleaning up this mess some pony made. Who was that again? Oh, right, that's you."

Applejack gets a little annoyed and moves back to Twilight, who's still reading through the book that she had.

Applejack: "We gotta do somethin'!"

Twilight: "Baking... BFFs... Brothers... There's nothing in here about branches."

Applejack tries her best to move the tree out of the room, but to no luck, it just wouldn't budge.

She pops out and tries to get Rarity to help (who's still trying to clean up the place): "Rarity, for pony's sake, stop sweatin' the small stuff and help me get rid of this thing!" *no response* "I said hussle over here and help me!"  *Rarity continues to ignore her until Applejack finally says: "Look, I'm sorry, all right?"

Rarity comes up: "What was that?"

Applejack: "I said I'm sorry! I shoulda listened to you when you noticed where this here branch would end up. Yer annoyin' attention to detail woulda saved us from this whole mess. But right now, ya need to stop bein' so dang fussy pickin' up all those little things and help me move the one big thing in here that actually matters! Please!"

The please helped seal the deal, but when Rarity looked at the rain coming in, she was having second thoughts.

Rarity: "Uh. Uh, but I'll get all icky."

Applejack: "Consarnit! What the... eh... you... I mean, yes, ickiness is often a side effect of hard work. But y'all need to get over it, on account I just can't fix this mess I made myself. I need your help."

Rarity pauses for a bit but then gets a determined look on her face and says: "Let's do this."

As the two form a plan in the background, Twilight shares something she found in the book: "Well, they do have a section about backyard slumber parties. Is that what we're doing right now? Does this count as camping?"

Rarity starts off using her magic to turn the giant tree into tons of small leaf statues.  Applejack prepares to kick out a big log that was still in the window, however, Rarity's glare made her set her hooves back down, face the log and pick it up with her mouth, dropping it safely off the window and back outside.  Rarity smiles seeing Applejack being not too hard headed.  With the tree gone, Applejack closes the window, and they were safe.

Rarity looks down to see herself all icky and messy: "U-ugh. Oh, I look awful."

Applejack thinks for a bit and then gets an idea.  She walks off screen and places something on Rarity then moves back: "Better?"

Applejack had put two cucumber slices on her eyes: "Hm, thanks."

Rarity reaches out for Applejack, and the two hug each other, really showing that they're friends again.

Twilight takes her eyes off the book she was reading and sees the leaf statues in front of her: "Oh, pretty! Where did these come from? They're not in the book either."

*Fast forward through the night.

The girls start enjoying themselves finally with hair curlers and games.

Applejack: "Is it bigger than a barn?"

Twilight: "*Laughs* No."

Rarity: "Is it smaller than a saddle?"

Twilight: "*Laughs* No!  Only three of your twenty questions left!"

Applejack: "We're never gonna guess what y'er thinkin' of, it could be anythin'."

Rarity: "Are we getting warmer?"

Twilight: "Why? Is it too cold in here for you? I can turn up the heat."

Applejack: "She means are we gettin' any closer with our guesses?"

Twilight: "Oh! No. And that technically counts in as a question, so only two more left!"

Applejack and Rarity pause for a few seconds before…

Applejack: "Is it... a six-legged pony with a purple polka-dotted mane and shootin' stars comin' out of his eyes?"

Rarity: "Who flies through the air all over the world to hide magic, sparkly eggs?"

Twilight: "…That's it!"

Applejack and Rarity: "It is?"

Twilight: "No. *chuckle* It's that. *Points to telescope right above and behind the guessers* But it was just so nice to see you two finally getting along, I wanted you to be able to win together."

Applejack and Rarity laugh.

Twilight: "See? We could have been having fun like this all along."

Applejack: "If only some pony hadn't been so persnickety."

Rarity: "Well, maybe she wouldn't have been if some pony else hadn't been so sloppy."

The ponies stare angrily at each other for a quick few seconds before returning to soft smiles.

Applejack: "Sorry for being such a pain in the patootie."

Rarity: "Oh, no, I'm sure I was much worse."

Applejack: "That's kind a ya ta say, but I'm the one who's sorry."

Rarity: "Oh, I'm much more sorry than you are."

Applejack: "Ugh. Are not."

Rarity: "Are too."

Applejack: "Are not."

Rarity: "Are too."

Applejack: "Are not."

Rarity: "Are too."

The two start laughing.

Twilight comes in front: "I declare my first slumber party a success!"

Rarity and Applejack clap hooves and cheer out.

Twilight: "Have fun, check."

The girls laugh as they continue to have fun for the night.

*Fast forward.

Rarity's voice: "Now take two steps to your left."  *Applejack walks in view with two cucumber slices on her eyes.  Rarity continues with: "No, my left."

Applejack: "Whu, which is it?"  *Crashes*  Applejack gets up from the pile of books: "Whoa! That mess is your fault, not mine."

Rarity: "*Laughs with Applejack* Sorry."

While they're laughing, Twilight writes a letter and narrates: "Dear Princess Celestia,

    It's hard to believe that two ponies who seem to have so little in common could ever get along. But I found out that if you embrace each other's differences, you might just be surprised to discover a way to be friends after all."

Twilight turns to her friends: "So, who's up for another slumber party tomorrow night?"

While Twilight had her eyes closed, she gets smacked with two pillows to the face.

Twilight: "How about a week from Thursday? Oh, how about two weeks from Saturday? A month from now?"

The girls laugh as the clouds part away and reveal the morning sun.

*end.
