The Story Of Us

4. miserable and magical

Today was luckily the weekend which meant no school! At first High School seemed easy but by the 2nd week our teachers begun to pile us with way too much homework. We have a life you know, and the weekend is pretty much the only time we get to live it. 

Not only did the weekend mean no school, This specific weekend was differentiated from the rest. Today was Saturday, the day Rarity scheduled the Slumber party to take place.

I truly am hyped up, the most energetic I've ever been! I've had several girl best friends in the past but never have I ever attended a Slumber Party before. What do I bring? What do I wear? Is there certain instructions manual to explain to me how a Slumber Party works?

Once I finished packing my backpack I waved goodbye to my mom and dad as I exited the house. I didn't bother asking my parents to drop me off at Rare's house since its not very faraway from here. Unlike most people I love to walk and run to one place from another. 

" YAY!! DASHIE IS HERE!!!" Pinkie applaused, taking Polaroid of my entrance. She's quite... interesting.

" It's about time you arrive 'darlin! " 

I took a glimpse at my watch " Aren't i on time?" I asked, quite puzzled about Raritys concern. 

" Technically yes, but in Rarity's mind 'yah aren't " AppleJack clarified. " Trust 'mah! 'Ah know from childhood experience " She crossed her arms in an annoyed manner. 

" I mean... you always were always late " Rarity glared back. For a while, a contest between the fashionista and the cowgirl took place. They stared deeply into each others eyes, with fingers crossed hoping the other blinks first. 

Meanwhile, Pinkie and I filled the trays with a loadful of candy. Twilight and Fluttershy got the popcorn ready. 

" HA! I WON!" AppleJack pridefully declared victory and begun to prance around which made an awful lot of noise due to the slight heel on her boots.

" AS IF!" Rarity scoffed.

" OOOH!!! DANCE PAR-TAY!!" Pinkie cheerfully yelled, beginning to shake it all off. 

Pinkie plugged in her phone to the speakers she brought along and played Ariana Grande's 'Sweetener' album on Spotify.

The opening track 'I forgot that you existed' reminded me an awful lot of my relations with Lightning Dust eventhough it's actually about this guy Scooter who had the nerve to claim Taylor's previous 6 albums his own. I guess Tay and I both have something in common... someone who wants to control our lives and make it a living hell. 

Several of the tracks such as 'breathin' and 'get well soon' gave me hope that soon my situation will someday improve. After all, Ariana the queen, survived from all the shit she's been through. I'm sure I can as well.

Pinkie's personal favorite was 'successful'. I like 'successful' too but the song that caught my attention the most was 'R.E.M' yet I have no clue why. 

When we were done bopping out to 'Sweetener' Pinkie chose another playlist which was full of mostly Taylor Swift songs along with some Selena Gomez, Camila Cabello and obviously Ariana Grande. The dancing was fun, the most exhilarating thing I've ever experienced. 

The dancing all came to an end when the most of us ran out of breath. By most I mean everyone but me. I'm used to hardcore cardio. 

" Since we're all covered in sweat I say it's time for... MAKEOVERS!! " Rarity squealed, piling up her makeup kits and designer clothing on her queen sized bed. Fluttershy's eyes widened at the sight of the bright, pastel skirts while AppleJack gagged at the green eyeshadow Rarity was applying on her. It wasn't long until the Southern girl rushed to the restroom and wiped it all off.
