During the middle of the night, Sunset receives a text from Twilight. At first, she didn’t think anything of it, until she realized that Twilight was hitting on her, and she was serious about it.

It only got worse better from there.

Prequel to A Friend in Need

It's been a few hours since the battle of Midnight Sparkle vs Daydream Shimmer during the final match of the Friendship Games. Twilight is now CHS's newest member and has gotten along quickly with her new friends. Sunset Shimmer has invited her to stay the night at her place following their long and exhausting day. But little does Sunset know, it’s gonna be a long night ahead of her, of what’s to come for her new friend.

This story is a sequel to Worries of Midnight

Takes place after the events of "Forgotten Friendship."

 It had been a week since the Memory Stone Incident, and everything is back to normal. Or so we thought. Sunset Shimmer has been acting very odd to her friends lately, which has been worrying them. Especially Twilight Sparkle. Sunset has been secretly having trouble sleeping, cutting her skin open with a razor blade, and wearing the old leather jacket she wore back in the days she was a bully. And boy does Rarity, of course, thinks it doesn't match her current style. Twilight decides to find out what her friend has been hiding from them, as she doesn’t like it seeing her best friend in a sorry state. But what is Sunset hiding? Is it good? Bad? Only 1 way to find out. And Twilight is gonna be in for a big one!

What happens when you kiss your best friend because of a silly mistletoe tradition? Something has sparked between Twilight and Sunset that neither of them realized they were ready to face. And all right before the Christmas Formal. This is a story about two friends. The struggle of hiding feelings and the discovery of them blossoming.

Rating is teen for use of alcohol and sexual advances.
Original artwork is to be uploaded (at some point?) for the cover.

I've also recently gone through and re-read the chapters and found quite a few grammar/spelling errors. I've fixed all I found but please tell me if I missed any!
This is probably the first multi chapter story I have ever finished. I’ve been working on this for nearly 2 years and I hope you all enjoy it!

When Twilight is having problems in her relationship with Timber Spruce regarding her sexuality Sunset helps set her mind straight and gives her a confidence boost. Maybe by the end of the night Twilight's mind will be the only thing that's still straight.

Sex tag for talk of sexual activities.

Twilight's run out of ideas for new inventions, so she invents something to fix that.

No one said the machine would produce good ideas.

It's been a few weeks since the Friendship Games. This world's Twilight Sparkle is struggling to adjust to her new school and her new friends. Sunset sees this, and resolves to help ease Twilight into their group in any way she can.

A late night encounter, a pep talk, and a little bit of whipped cream – all things that seem insignificant on their own – cause Sunset to reflect on how she feels about her new friend and herself. Is she really just trying to be a good friend to Twilight because it's the right thing to do, or do her motives run deeper than even she realizes?
