Horoscope server down for maintenance...

Early Morning

I wake up to a warm sensation, feeling a light pressure against my side. I open my eyes...

Twilight is curled up against me, wearing flannel pajamas.

I poke her in the belly. "Twilight."

She stirs and smiles at me. "Hey."

"Forget what floor your room's on?" I ask.

She blushes. "I...couldn't sleep," she admits. "I kept worrying about...everything yesterday. I...I needed..."

I brush her hair out of her face and kiss her. "I understand," I say. "But we'd better get up and out of here before you get caught."

"Oh, Cadance knows I'm in here," Twilight says. "She...saw me come in." She blushes. "She's gonna tease the crap out of me about this." She sits up and swings her legs over the edge of the bed, stretching. "I think I'm gonna just stay in my PJs and read today," she says. "I don't really wanna do anything."

"Lazy Sunday?" I ask. "Sounds good to me."

I debate sharing my thoughts about Sunset Shimmer, and my suspicions about her connection to Zodiac, but I decide against it. I want Twilight to relax today.

Daytime

With the exception of Pinkie Pie, who left for work before most of us even got up, the entire dorm seems to be thinking along the same lines as Twilight. Nobody bothers to get dressed all day, and we all spend the day either reading or watching television. I don't even bother with guitar practice, and Rainbow spends almost all day napping.

A lazy, do-nothing day is good every now and then...

Evening

"Aww, I missed lazy pajama Sunday?" Pinkie complains at dinner. "Bummer!"

"So, how is Mrs. Cake holding up?" Rarity asks.

Pinkie smiles. "The twins are due any day now." She sighs. "I'm probably going to quit the tennis team this week. The Cakes need the extra help now more than ever, and I need the extra money."

"That sucks," Rainbow says. "You shouldn't have to quit the team..."

"It's...it's okay," Pinkie says. "Besides, from what I've been hearing, I'll be leaving an opening for somebody better to take my place!"

I spend the rest of the evening lounging around doing nothing, then go to bed early. I can't shake the feeling that something ugly is going to happen tomorrow...
