Rainbow had been invited to a sleepover at pinkie pies house with the rest of their friends, she was really excited but she still slept with a cuddly toy and was scared to do that in front of the girls. Windy was helping her to pack her bag, which had, pyjamas, tooth brush, hair brush and clothes for the next day. Windy saw that rainbow was holding her soft tortoise and looking at it with quite a puzzled expression.

Windy whistles: *walks over and kneels down in front of rainbow* what's the matter sweetie?

Rainbow: *mumbled* I-I can't sleep without tank.

Windy whistles: that's ok you can take him with you.

Rainbow: *panicking* NO! The girls will make fun of me!

Windy whistles: *rubs rainbows arm* hey they're your friends I'm sure they wouldn't do that. Tell you what, why don't you take it and keep it in your bag? If you get anxious you can always just have a cuddle with it if you need to.

Rainbow: *feeling better* y-yeah ok.

*at pinkies house*

Pinkie: *excitedly* this is going to be so much FUN!

Rarity: yes it should be loads of fun.

Sunset: what are we going to be doing pinkie?

Pinkie: will be playing games and watching movies, but mum and dad said make sure there age appropriate. Oh and mums going to order us a pizza later!

Aj: sounds awesome! What time do we have to go to bed?

Pinkie: my parents said we've got to be in bed by 10.

Twilight: that sounds good. Should we get started then?

All sans twilight: yeah!

The girls had played a few games, such as twister, they were now watching a movie which was toy story whilst they ate the pizza. Rainbow was starting to feel anxious and she could really use a cuddle from her soft tortoise, but she didn't want the girls too see that she still slept with the toy that she'd had since she was a baby.

*late in the night*

The girls were all asleep but rainbow couldn't, she laid there staring at her bag wanting to get tank. Finally she decided to get and sneak over and grab him, when got him she laid back down and finally was able to fall asleep.

*in the morning*

Rainbow was still asleep when all the other girls woke up, they went over to her sleeping bag to wake her saw that she was cuddling her soft tortoise in her arms. They thought this was absolutely adorable and wished they could just watch her sleeping softly forever, but they needed to wake her.

Fluttershy: *gently shakes rainbow and whispers* dashie wake up.

Rainbow: *tiredly* W-what?

Aj: wakey wakey rainbow, rise and shine.

When rainbow saw they were all staring at her she realised that she was still holding tank. She panicked and ran out of the room.

Pinkie: well that went well.

Sunset: we'd better make sure she's ok.

They went to the bathroom and found rainbow was crying into her arms.

Fluttershy: dashie?

Rainbow: *sniffling* y-yeah?

Fluttershy: can we come in?

Rainbow: o-ok.

They went in and fluttershy kneeled next to rainbow and held her hand.

Fluttershy: what's wrong rainbow?

Rainbow: *silence*

Twilight: is it because we saw your cuddly toy?

Rainbow: *nodded* I-I thought you would all laugh at me, i get anxious at night sometimes and cuddling tank helps.

Aj: we would never laugh at you for that dashie.

Rainbow: r-really?

Rarity: of course darling, we know you get anxious sometimes and you do what you need to do.

Rainbow: *looks at the others* you all think this?

All: *nods*

Rainbow: *sighs in relief* ok good.

Pinkie: come on let's go and get pancakes, mums making pancakes!

All sans pinkie: *excitedly* yeah!

They had there breakfast and then it was time for the girls to go home, rainbow felt much better about sleeping with tank, now that she knew her friends accepted her for who she was.
