Nyx flopped down into her bed, groaning as she buried her face in the pillow. "Arrrrrgh, I hate the world..." she grumpily muttered. What made it worse was that when she tried to argue in favor of going to see the show, Scootaloo just smirkingly turned her own arguments against her. As a result, the two of them had found their way to the cheap hotel where they would be rooming together. She had barely noticed it, though, instead simply dropping her luggage as soon as they were in the door and throwing herself onto the bed.
"Well, speaking as a tax-paying citizen, I'm glad to know that our stalwart defender of law and order isn't gonna be sleeping through her training," Scootaloo teased. She then giggled as she ducked under the pillow Nyx threw at her. "Aw, come on, Nyx, don't be like that. You'll get plenty of chances to see shows in this town. Though considering how old he is, maybe you should move fast."
While Scootaloo snickered to herself, Nyx's horn glowed and reached out for the pillow she'd thrown, pulling it back to hit the pegasus in the back of the head. She looked over at the alicorn and narrowed her eyes into a challenging smirk. "Of course you realize, this means war," she said before picking up her own pillow in her mouth and launching herself at Nyx!
Cushions flew and bits of stuffing scattered around the room as the two young mares settled their differences in the traditional ways passed down through the generations. In the end, both of them had taken many a blow, and were panting heavily with exhaustion. "... Truce...?" Scootaloo asked with a tired grin.
Nyx nodded, falling back into her bed. "Yeah... truce... Ugh... I was so stupid... Your thing would've only taken a few minutes... so sorry, Scoot..."
Scootaloo picked up her pillow and put it back on her own bed, fluffing it up a bit before climbing onto the mattress. "Nah... don't be." She snickered to herself. "You were so busy trying to convince me to let you see that Crooner guy sing, Flip had time to do his trick and you didn't even notice, so I got what I wanted." When Nyx stared blankly at her, the pegasus gushed, "Quadruple-flip through two rings of fire! Can you believe it? Hoo boy, I'd have been kicking myself the whole way here if I hadn't seen that! Guess it would've been like how you felt, huh?"
Nyx's teeth started to grind together, her eyes shifting to a solid turquoise glow. "Vengeance... eternal vengeance...!" she growled, causing Scootaloo to yelp and quickly pull out two small slips of paper that she held out toward her friend.
"Th-that's why before I left, I told him about what a huge fanfilly you are, and he gave me a couple of tickets for later in the week!"
Nyx blinked, her eyes snapping back to normal with an almost audible *poof* as her usual slit-shaped pupils widened and glistened with unbridled joy. "T... tickets?"
Scootaloo chuckled and nodded. "I was gonna surprise you later on, but considering you looked like you were gonna turn me into a houseplant or something..."
Nyx practically pounced the pegasus, hugging her tightly! "Aw, Scoot, I'm sorry I was mad at you! We're totally even now! More than even! I owe you big for this!"
Scootaloo laughed, hugging back. "Well, keep in mind it's for the end of the week, so there's always a chance he could petrify by then... I'm kidding! I'm kidding! Hey, he looks good for someone who could be my grandpa."
Nyx pretend-glared at her friend as she replied, "I love you, Scootaloo, but I will unleash pillowy wrath again if you keep that up."
With that, the two ponies laughed and finished getting ready for the night before going to their beds and drifting off to sleep.
