Luck Before You Sleep
It was a late, lazy afternoon in the library of Ponyville. The peace and quiet was a fine reprieve from the usual chaos that surrounded Twilight and Spike’s lives. Twilight was stretched out, belly side up, with her hooves and muzzle buried into a book while Spike was sprawled out in a similar fashion at the foot of the bed. The sky was gently littered with puffs of popcorn clouds as the cute, baby dragon watched them drift across the sapphire blue.
“Ahhh…” Spike sighed, “Isn’t it great to finally have an afternoon to just lie around and do nothing, Twi?”
Naturally, Twilight was far too engrossed with what she was reading that she didn’t hear a peep Spike said.
“…Yeah…I thought so too.” Spike simply replied and continued to lounge against the footboard of Twilight’s bed. Reasonably enough, with the hypnotic trudging march that the clouds were doing across the sky and the endless shaping games he was playing with them in his head, Spike began to drift, drift, drift off to sleep, comfortable in the warm afternoon atmosphere…
“…hhHHHYUGHHHHH…OOP…PFLEAH!!!” Spike suddenly gagged and shot up a puff of magic smoke and produced a royal scroll. “…Aw man…Twilight!” he yelled to gather her attention, soon leaping to his feet.
“Huh?” Twilight jolted out of her trance and pulled her head forward to see that spike was holding a scroll from Princess Celestia. “What’s it say, Spike?”
Spike gave it a quick once over, just to prepare his mind and voice for the announcement. However, after reading the message, his straight face began to droop. “Aw, man.” he said, “I guess the really, really short vacation…is over.”
Spike slowly, regrettably, handed over the scroll to Twilight.
“Well…for me, anyway.” Spike recanted his previous statement.
As Twilight wandered over the scroll, letting each line of royal decree seep into her mind, her eyes widened to a fully excited degree.
“Sh…she wants you to…what?!?” Twilight frantically squealed as she finished the last bit of royal orders.
“…Yeah.” Spike said. “…Yeah,” he repeated, “weird, huh?”

…Equestria Girls universe…Rarity’s Stately hilltop mannor.

“Whooowee! Ah tell ya, y’all. After the kinda week I’ve been havin’, ah aym sooo ready for the weekend.” Applejack cheered as she burst through the tall double doors of the grand lounge and living area of Rarity’s…what the other’s referred to as, single’s tower. She hung up a soaking raincoat upon a tall coat rack with a palm tree motif, just as she entered the door, and headed straight towards the rooms fireplace.
Following close behind Applejack was Rainbow Dash, doing much the same as Applejack, only with a good deal more enthusiasm. She tossed her raincoat upon the rack and slid her book bag across the fine, wood paneled floor to thump up against a cushy, regal looking lounge sofa. With eyes wide open, she beheld the room before her. “This…is…awesome!!!” she spoke, punctuating her sentence with an exhilarating sigh. The room was dark, yet, it was warmed with gentle, fiery tones from a humungous, golden, crystal gilded chandelier, hovering some two stories above her head from the central point of a vaulted ceiling. The walls of this hall were half decorated with bookshelves and tapestries that hung across beautiful, deep golden woodwork, while the other walls were built much like a greenhouse, made of clear, framed glass that was occasionally graced by dazzling stained glass patterns and crystal artwork. All of this seemed to stretch a mile into the skies above…most of which was currently dark and gloomy, due to the misfortune of a passing storm. “Omigoshomighoshomigosh…!” Rainbow chanted as she ran to an ascending, tightly knit, spiral staircase that was made of fine wrought iron, reaching up to a faux second floor in the room that gave access to the higher rows and columns of bookshelves, tapestries, and paintings.
“Yes, darling, it is quite the presentation, but, do be careful, would you? Those rafters aaare sturdy, but…they must be a century old. There’s no telling just how sturdy they can be.” Rarity waltzed into the room, delicately hanging her…rain shawl, and her beautifully designed raincoat upon the rack. She settled her book bag into an old rifle rack that she used just for it, slid out of her designer boots, and set them aside the rack. “Ohh…I quite agree, Applejack. The week has been most dreadful. I am sooo glad that winter break is finally here.” Rarity grumbled and sighed as she went to lounge on a chair near the fire.
“Darn tootn’. Ah am just sick up to my eyeballs with tests and…more tests. I don’t wanna see another piece of paper with bubbles on it for as long as I live!” Applejack replied with several eyerolls that made her look like she was following an acrobat across the ceiling.
“AYEEKNOW! Tell me about it! I had so many mid-term-whatchamacallits today that I was too tired to even go to soccer practice!” Dash yelled down from the second floor balcony. “Augh! I thought my brain was gonna burn up from the inside!”
“Ohh, it certainly was dreadful…but…at last, we have the house all to ourselves…we have the weekend all to ourselves…and nothing…NOTHING is going to stop us from…how do you say it?...CUTTING LOOSE!” Rarity grumbled, nearly gritting her teeth in her animalistic expression, and the three little ladies began chuckling up like the schoolgirls they were.
“Of course, ya know, this would all be better if your parents didn’t go all Nazi on us and invite Miss Luna along to be our babysitter.” Rainbow said as she slid back down the banister to the ground floor.
“Yeah, as if we didn’t have enough ayaduhhlt soopervishjjun, over the week. Now we gotta have the vaahce principal of Canterlot High breathing down our necks during our little…swawrray?” Applejack groaned as she reclined across a white, bear skin rug.
“Now, girls, I’m certain my parents only had our best interests in mind…ehehehh…” Rarity pulled up a cheesy, embarrassed smile as she tried to pull the conversation in a lighter direction. Applejack and Rainbow Dash only smirked in reply. “Oughh…we’ll just have to make the best of it.” Rarity replied as she rose and stepped forward to a small refreshment table that was sitting in the corner. She picked up a tray of snacks. “S’more, ladies?” Rarity called forward gently, yet, she accented her look towards Applejack with a snide, little smile and a raised brow.
Applejack giggled silently, with a hand over her mouth, before both she and Rainbow scooted along towards the table.
“Hey, how does the VP know your parents anyway?” Dash queried as she gathered a small platter of meats, cheeses, and a s’more or two.
“Yeah. Ah mean, yer daddy’s got no business connection, schoolside or nuthin’…how do they know each other?”
“Ohh, it’s more a connection through the little parties my parents volunteer my domicile for here, with the parent student union and such.” Rarity said, laying the platter aside and gathering a s’more for herself. “My dear ma ma and her seem to be close enough to be…clubbing buddies.”
“Yeah?”
“Quite.”
“Hold the phone. I never pegged Vice Furor Luna to be up for any kinda fun, let alone clubbing.” Dash squealed, laughing, with a furrowed brow and a ‘yeah right’ look in her eye.
“Hehe, It’s quite true. You’d be surprised how…unladylike our mothers get…given the right kind of situation?” Rarity replied, causing the three of them to start giggling uncontrollably.
“Weh, what’ve y’all heard they do, when they get down with themselves, hahaha?” Applejack gurgled her sentence through a thick wall of laughter.
Rarity and Rainbow giggled like mad as well and Rarity was about to answer, when there was a ring on the house phone. “Ah, do hold that thought, girls.” Rarity giggled before stepping off to the side of the refreshment table to a little stand that presented a vintage ivory, brass, and crystal rotary phone.
As the two girls chattered away and giggled in the background, Rarity had a short yet fairly impactful conversation on the phone. By the time she hung up, she had a fairly puzzled look upon her face, halfway between fearful and curious.
“What’s up, Rarity?” Rainbow Dash asked, getting slightly put off by her expression.
“Yeah. Y’all look like a long tailed cat in a room full’a rockin’ chairs.” Applejack commented, soon sporting her own look of worry.
“…That was Miss Luna.” Rarity began, “It seems she’s here and she has brought an…um…extra special guest? At least that’s what she said. She seemed quite enamored at the thought, on the phone. I just hope that means the better for us…and not just her.”
Dash and AJ looked at each other, equally as worried and puzzled, as Rarity went off, down the hall to retrieve Vice Principal Luna and their supposed guest. Rainbow Dash settled next to Applejack next to the couch and the two girls took on the unfortunate look of being stuck in the waiting room of a principal’s office. The fact that they were being paid a visit by a vice principal didn’t much help either. But, soon enough, Vice Principal Luna, followed close behind by Rarity, slipped quietly through the double doors to the lounge. Miss Luna was bearing a nice, warm smile, not exactly something she was known for, and Rarity was barely containing her excitement, behind a bursting smile and blushing cheeks, with a pair of happy, sparkling eyes that simply shined in the somewhat gloomy room. Applejack and Rainbow Dash’s fears were squeezed out then by their sheer curiosity and anticipation.
“Hello, girls. I’ve got quite the surprise for you…” Miss Luna said as she gently swung forth a large backpack that looked quite familiar.
“Hey…isn’t that…Twilight Sparkle’s backpack?” Rainbow Dash questioned, having been away from anything of Twilight’s for quite some time.
“Quite right, Miss Dash.” Luna answered. Curiously, she made a little hand motion for all the girls to come closer.
As all the girls huddled around the large bag, Vice Principal Luna settled it upon the floor and slowly unzipped it. The gentle light of the chandelier began pouring in, revealing two large eyes, a cute, wet button nose, and a cute little muzzle with a pair of canines that peeked out of an adorable mouth.
He rustled around and found a good paw-hold, over the zipper and top of Twilight’s bag. “…Uh…ahhm I…are we…there…yet?” Spike said as his little, furry head poked up and out of the opening.
“Ohhhhhhhhh!” the girls said as they began gently pulling the large pup out of the bag.
“Ohh! Our little Spikey-wikey has returned!” Rarity swooned as she scooped him up for herself and began cradling him and giving him a gentle scratch behind his ears.
With a simple touch and generous tickle that Rarity was giving him, Spike began to twitch one of his hind legs. “Ohhhhohohhhhyeahhh…” he groaned, and soon the other two ladies crooned at his deliciously observed pleasure, joining in with various tickles and rubs upon his belly. “Ahhhahahaahhghhhahhhhhh…”
Luna only giggled and stepped away to take care of her rain drenched over clothes.
The group broke up softly, usually sticking to two groups that mostly consisted of Rainbow Dash and Applejack in one and Rarity and Luna in the other, but, they usually reconvened over spike or a general point of interest that was sweetly colored by bubbly, girlish laughter and reasonable curiosities.
“So, what brings you to Canterlot, Spiiike?” Rarity asked as she rubbed his furry little tummy.
“Hehehhh…well, Princess Celestia gave me the kinda weird task of…um…well, basically finding a little more about this place.”
Miss Luna chuckled, sipping from an ornate tea cup of blue floral designs against a baby blue background. “Sorry. It’s just so strange to hear my sister being referred to as a princess…not a principal.”
“I know, right?” Spike rolled over and pattered his paws gently towards Luna. “And not only her, but, you too, Princess…uhm…I mean…Vice Principal Luna…gosh that’s weird.” Spike scratched his head at the thought. The girls giggled alongside him.
“And what are we like, Spike? Am I just as awesome in…eh…what was your place called again?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“…Equestria. And, yeah, you’re just as awesome there Rainbow…maybe even more.”
Dash seemed to have a mixed reaction towards Spike’s comment, as she at first loved the confirmation, but then, her feeling turned slightly jealous. “…Even better, huh? We’ll, I’m gonna have to see about that.” she smiled smugly as she crossed her arms.
“I have to admit, that does sound like quite the adventure I’d like to partake of too.” Luna spoke with a generous smile and a slightly wistful amount of curiosity or amusement. “It’s just too bad that we can’t seem to go.” she spoke her regret, looking into her wide brimmed china.
The rest of the girls seemed to share her sentiment.
“Hmm…” Spike thought. “…Well…I guess, since we’re all kinda sworn to secrecy here...it couldn’t hurt to ask her.” Spike answered with a slight air of hope. “Who knows, she just might be understanding and say yes.”
Luna raised a brow. The girls seemed to explode with hopeful chatter, overstepping their bounds with assumption. As she saw that Spike was getting ignored, in his look of concern that they were immediately assuming a ‘yes’ from Princess Celestia, Miss Luna intervened. “Now, now, girls. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We put far too much on our little friend Spike here. It’s alright to hope, but, remember…it’s not quite even a maybe, not just yet. There’s no telling what trouble we might get up to, in a foreign land with little to no understanding of it…let alone a foreign world.”
At that, the girls disciplined themselves and contained their spirits…even saddened themselves a bit.
“…But there’s always hope that she may say yes.” Luna retorted to her own suggestion. “After all…if she’s anything like MY sister, we have a sporting chance.”
The girls then perked up their spirits again and began mumbling in a more subdued yet adventurous spirit. Spike looked to Miss Luna with a look of graceful thanks. Luna smiled and nodded in return.
“Eh, by the way, Miss Rarity. What is this intoxicating beverage?” Luna somewhat changed the subject.
“Oh, I’m so glad you like it! It’s a fine Swiss cocoa with a generous dose of peppermint flavoring to give it a fresh kick to break through the deep, dark flavor. Would you like me to freshen your cup?” Rarity generously pressed, beaming with delight of Luna’s enjoyment.
“Please! And I do encourage the rest of you to enjoy it. It is most divine.” Luna spoke and soon the rest of the girls again gathered around the refreshment table to press the powered thermos there for a few generous doses of the delicious elixir.
Spike playfully climbed into Luna’s lap while she waited for her share. “Thanks, Miss Luna.” he expressed quietly to her. “I really don’t like seeing my friends spirits…ya know…broken?”
“Not at all, Spike. But, is there a chance that we might visit your world?” Luna herself gave into her anxiety for a moment.
“Well,” Spike replied, considering, “like I said, it couldn’t hurt to ask, and, I’m sure that, since the princess told me to come over here and explore a bit…I don’t think she’d say ‘no’ to some discrete visits, if the group is nice and small?”
Luna smiled warmly and replied with a nice, slow tummy rub. “That’s good…real good to hear.” she replied, and giggled slightly as the cute, little mutt vibrated a hind leg in reply, as his grin grew wide across his face.
The evening went on happily as finger sandwiches, tea cakes, s’mores, and cups and cups of warming peppermint cocoa were giddily consumed. Spike was playing with the girls both as a dog and as a creature of similar intelligence. Rarity even had to retreat once or twice to the kitchen to fix up another batch of cocoa, as the thermos seemed to empty rather quickly. However, as the night grew longer and the giggles began getting louder with reasons becoming more and more obscure, it was becoming apparent that the ladies were getting a little fast and loose, even giggling happily for miniscule reasons, particularly the fact that Spike could talk. It made him feel downright curious, in a slightly fearful sort of way, on whether or not he should be sitting in anyone’s lap at this time. Currently, it was Miss Luna’s, and she seemed rather affectionate towards the soft, furry pup…caressing his ears and tummy with soft, nurturing touch, as she reclined upon one of the lounge’s easy chairs. As her dazzling gaze and warm smile overcame the little guy, he seemed to forget what he was thinking and simply melted in her lap.
Rarity and Applejack seemed to be playing with some odd food coloring paints and playing tag on each other’s faces while Rainbow Dash was constantly climbing and sliding down some of the support poles of the make-shift second floor.
In a brief moment of clarity, Miss Luna decided to question something that had been bothering her all night about the drink, despite the fact that it was so delicious. “Uhhb…*hic…Rarity, dear. The…um…*hic…flavoring…peppermint, was it? *hic…Ughhb…it wasn’t some sort of…*hic…alcoholic…extract…was i*hic…it?”
“Why, Miss Luna! Hehehhhhehehehhh…ahem…what ever could you mean?!” Rarity’s emotions seemed to shift almost uncontrollably from giddy to angry for no apparent reason but the warm, fuzzy feelings she was getting from the cocoa. “It most certainly was not! As a matter of fact, it was a very…um…reputable flavorant! It was proven for over one-hundred and twenty years…or so…as the bottle said!”
“Proven? One-hundred and twenty years?”
“Aaaabsolutely.”
“…As *hic in…proof…120?”
“Yeeeess…quite. Mehehehehh…see. I showed youuuu, didn’t aaaayeee.”
“Mmm*hic-hmmm…and the brand…what was it now?”
“Oughh…muuust you ask sooo many questions…It was…um…snaps…something.”
“…Schnapps?”
“Ahh, yess! You’ve heard of it! See?! How could it not be reputable if it wasn’t so well known???” Rarity glared somewhat mockingly towards the Vice Principal.
Luna rolled her eyes and refocused her attention towards Spike. “…Well…I suppose it’s *hic…a little late for…restraint…hehehe.” she whispered to herself.
“Why you gotta *hic, go an’ rain on our parade, teach?” Rainbow Dash suddenly perked up, sloshing a cup of spiked cocoa in Luna’s direction.
“Excuse me??” Luna replied with a defiantly raised brow.
“I swear,” Rainbow Dash continued, “we probably woulda been having all sorts of fun without *hic the educational Gestapo hanging around.”
Luna drew in a sharp breath in disbelief.
Applejack laughed hysterically upon the couch, falling back across it and flailing her legs in the air as if she was trying to fly with them.
Luna’s lips pouted angrily towards Rainbow Dash. “I’ll have you know that I can be the wildest, craziest, nastiest party animal you’d ever encounter in your entire life!” Luna replied with her eyes closed in prideful demonstration and a chin lifted away from Dash’s general direction. “As a matter of fact…*hic…it is YOU girls who are keeping me from cutting loose on MYYY weekend!”
Rarity and Applejack covered their mouths in disbelief, with Applejack’s laughter leaking in snorts from her nostrils. Rainbow Dash, on the other hand, was rebellious and unmoved by the vice principal’s words, feeling that she was far too proper to be or do anything so crazy or nasty. “Oh yeah?” Rainbow Dash’s face burned with defiance, “…Pr*hic-ooove it.”
Luna smirked with and equally burning expression in her eyes. “You…are…*hic-on.” she said, and both Rainbow and her seemed to engage in a sportsman’s spirit of combat. “Name your terms.”
Rainbow’s teeth showed like demonic fangs within her wide, smiling mouth. “…Truth…or…dare!”
