So, earlier in the week, when the Artifact-induced background music was getting really intense, Twilight had the bright idea of casting a sleep spell on herself until it was over. Sounds reasonable enough, right?

Only the music is long gone and she's still fast asleep on the couch.

You might think that's cute, but that's because you don't know that she snores.

Little help here?

Zoey was in a better mood what with the music thing gone. So she with drink in hand spied Twilight on the couch snoring. "Twilight? Are you okay?"

[no_vampires_plz]

Twilight doesn't respond.

That's one powerful sleep spell.

[snowpointvictor]

Of course, Zoey had no idea Twilight was under a spell. If Zoey was less tactful she might try a more... direct way of waking her.

"Twilight? Come on!" She was loud but wasn't totally yelling... yet.

[no_vampires_plz]

The notes and books spread out on the couch might provide a clue, if Zoey knew anything about unicorn magic and/or could decipher Twilight's horrible penmareship.

Regardless, the unicorn still doesn't respond.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

"Oh dear."

Looks like backing away nervously might not have been the best course of action after all.

"Twilight? Are you all right?"

[no_vampires_plz]

For definitions of "all right" that include being passed out on the couch surrounded by books and chicken-scratch notes, yes.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Oh dear indeed. Just what did she wind up writing on those notes, anyway?

[no_vampires_plz]

Lots of arcane magical jargon, written in really bad penmareship. Good luck trying to decipher it.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Yeeeeeah, no. That's... well out of Ellen's league.

Maybe if she reaches over and tries to shake the pony's shoulder somehow?

[no_vampires_plz]

No response. None whatsoever.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

... she is breathing, at least. You can't snore without breath. That does not make this any less disquieting.

Ellen only knows a handful of fairytales and most of the ones that have anybody magically asleep require the intervention of a prince. Which, no.

[no_vampires_plz]

You might be able to find a prince, if you ask around.

Maybe.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Possibly. Asking them to kiss a horse probably won't go over well, though, so Ellen's looking for the next best option.

"Bar? I don't suppose you have any ideas of how to wake Twilight Sparkle up?"

[no_vampires_plz]

Ask someone who uses magic, a napkin replies. I'm made of magic, I don't perform it myself.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Ellen sighs. "Worth a try," she says. "Thanks anyway."

Now the question is, who else does she know who's got any kind of magic on hand. It's been ages since she saw Kreyu last.

Pinkie's finally back in Bar, and she's solved the whole theme music thing the only way she could think of - by strapping a couple of thick pillows over her ears complete with pillow-shaped mufflers.

"Twilight?" she shakes Twilight's shoulder when she doesn't respond to Pinkie's piercing shriek. "TWILIGHT!!!"

[no_vampires_plz]

Still no response.

[havetubawilltravel]

You so asked for this, Twilight.

For Pinkie has somehow found an electric tuba AND a drum kit AND a set of cymbals, all of which she straps on and begins to play at top volume.

She parades back and forth beside Twilight's table, singing "Pony O' My Heart" at the top of her lungs.

[no_vampires_plz]

Please. She's slept through the entire G1 soundtrack, you think that's gonna wake her up?

[havetubawilltravel]

It's Pinkie! She's the mistress of REALLY LOUD FUN!

A little seltzer maybe? OOH! Or maybe funny wigs and lots an lots of cups of coffee, complete with smiley faces drawn in cream.

"This always wakes ME up!"

[no_vampires_plz]

All of which results in... a sleeping pony in a wig with seltzer water dripping off her face and whipped cream on her nose.

[ooc: Twilight has been awakened in another thread, just FYI.]

[havetubawilltravel]

That's it!

Pinkie's been left with one choice and one choice only:

Party. CANON!

[OOC: Oh, I know, but I couldn't resist having fun with this - couple more tags and then done!]

[no_vampires_plz]

Well, you've managed to alarm everyone in the immediate vicinity, buuuuut not wake up the unicorn.

[havetubawilltravel]

And that's enough to send Pinkie into a tailspin of panic.

"Oh no, something's wrong with Twilight!"

GASP!

"Oh no, when something's wrong I GO to Twilight and now I can't!!"

GASP!!

Abruptly, she gets a grip on herself. "Pinkamina," Pinkie scolds herself. "You're a grown-up Filly! You know how to handle a situation like this one like a grown-up!"

She takes a deep breath, lets out an ear-piercing shriek and stampedes toward the door.
