Sunset was just laying there, happy. She was happy. No worries, only comfort. Well comfort and Spike. However she was much more happy that Spike was beside her, even if he didn’t know. “Wow that sounded kinda creepy.” However her bliss was cut short when she heard the door open. She did not want to get up. She was comfortable and no pony was going to take that from her.
“Awwwwww.” Twilight exclaimed.
“Shut up.” Sunset murmured.
“Well somepony woke up on the wrong side of the bed.” Twilight said.
“No, you're just going to make me get up and I’m a happy lazy pony.” Sunset said with sleep in her voice.
“Well I hate to break it to you, but we have plans today so you gotta get up missy.” Twilight said in mock anger.
“No, five more minutes!” Sunset said moving a pillow over her head.
“Nope, you’re getting up now.” Twilight said.
Twilight then levitated Sunset out of the bed, out from under the covers. This effectively brought Spike with her as he still had his arms around the light yellow mare. Sunset just opened her eyes and groaned when she was set on the ground. Spike had been moved to laying on her back, still miraculously sleeping.
“Uh, fine I’m up. What was so important you had to wake me up?” Sunset exclaimed with a slight tone of anger.
“We have to go and get you a dress made for the party tonight since the princesses are coming.” Twilight answered.
“Fine, you’re buying us doughnuts for breakfast though.” Sunset responded.
“Why am I buying you doughnuts?” Twilight asked.
“Because I said so and I’m hungry.” Sunset responded.
“Fine, but I don’t want to hear another word of complaint for the rest of the day.” Twilight responded.
“Yes, mother.” Sunset said sarcastically.
Sunset and Twilight walked downstairs to begin their trek to the boutique. Sunset saw a clock she had not seen before, she decided to see what time it was. It was ten in the morning, a bit later than she was used to. Though she didn’t have to go to school while in Equestria. She thought about how much she knew about the human world. No pony here knew anything about it, she could write a book. Yeah that was a good idea, make some bits. Along the way to Rarity’s they stopped at Sugarcube Corner for sweet, delicious doughnuts. She looked at the options, so many sweet, heart stopping options. Pinkie Pie was at the counter. “Oh great, doughnuts and a headache, a perfect morning.”
“Hey you two! What are you two here for?” Pinkie asked with her usual enthusiasm.
“Oh and are you feeling better today Sunny? I’m really sorry for daring you to....you know.” Pinkie added in a sadder tone.
“It’s okay Pinkie, we’re just here for doughnuts, Twilight's treat.” Sunset said in an upbeat tone.
“Oooo I love doughnuts, well not as much as cupcakes but still. What kind of doughnuts do you want, oh and does Spike want a ruby doughnut?”
“Spike?” Sunset asked.
She looked at her back and noticed that he was still sleeping on her back. She let out a sigh of happiness.
“Yeah.” Sunset said.
“I would like a plain doughnut please.” Twilight asked.
“Okay, Sunny what do you want.” Pinkie asked.
“Hmmm, I would like a jelly filled doughnut with chocolate frosting and sprinkles.” Sunset replied.
Twilight gave her an odd look.
“What? I’m in the mood for a sugar coma.” Sunset said.
Twilight just shook her head and put the bits on the counter. Pinkie rushed into the kitchen and came back thirty minutes later with their order.
“Thanks Pinkie.” Twilight said taking her doughnut with her magic.
“Yeah thanks!” Sunset said biting into her coma inducing doughnut.
“Have a good day you two, and Spike when he wakes up!” Pinkie said.
“Bye Pinkie.” Twilight said as they walked out.
The two of them plus a still sleeping Spike. Sunset was enjoying her doughnut immensely. About five minutes later Spike decided to rejoin the world of the living.
“Uh, what time is it?” Spike asked opening his eyes.
“And why am I on Sunset’s back?” Spike added.
“Because I was so nice to carry you when we left, and I got you a ruby doughnut which I paid for.” Sunset replied.
“Wow really! Thanks Sunset!” Spike said taking a bite out of his doughnut like Scruff Mcgruff took a bite out of crime.
“Hey I payed for the doughnuts!” Twilight said with agitation.
“Yeah sure, Sunset already got me ice cream so I think it’s more likely she bought it.” Spike said still eating his gemmed treat.
Sunset gained a big grin on her face while Twilight, just sighed in agitation. Spike took no time finishing the doughnut.
“Thanks Sunset.” Spike said.
“You are very welcome.” Sunset replied.
Twilight just let out another sigh and began counting to ten.
“Hey, uh Sunset?” Spike said with trepidation in his voice.
“Yes, Spike?” Sunset asked.
“I just wanted to apologize for last night, I over reacted. I’m really sorry.” Spike apologized.
Sunset got a small blush at recalling the events of the night prior.
“It’s okay, it was more my fault anyway.” Sunset responded.
“Hey, why did you.. kiss .. me anyway?” Spike asked.
Sunset’s blush intensified as he said that. She looked to Twilight for some help on this as she was a bit nervous at answering the question.
“Yeah Sunset, why did you kiss Spike?” Twilight asked with a childish and sarcastic tone.
Sunset mouthed the words “I’m going to kill you” too Twilight.
“Well, I got dared to by Pinkie.” Sunset said with trepidation.
“Why would she dare you to do that?” Spike wondered aloud.
“Yeah Sunset, why would she do that?” Twilight said in the same childish and sarcastic tone.
“Death is too good for her, she will suffer first. Ten years in the room with the screaming robots. Yes that works.”
“Um..well….she was being Pinkie?” Sunset said, more a question than a statement.
“I guess that makes sense.” Spike said.
Sunset sighed in relief. Twilight however just started giggling. Sunset gave a glare at Twilight. The rest of the walk was in silence. It didn't take long for the trio to make it to Rarity’s. Spike immediately got a dreamy look in his eyes as they walked in the boutique.
“Hello darlings, Sunset I take it you're here to have your dress made?” Rarity asked.
“Yes, I was more forced to be here.” Sunset said under her breath.
“Shall we start?” Rarity asked.
“Sure, why not.” Sunset replied.
“Wonderful, Spikey would you be a darling and help me?” Rarity asked.
“Sure Rarity.” Spike said in a dream like tone.
As soon as this happened Sunset gained a scowl. They started soon after. “That-that HARLOT is just using him! He is too nice to even see this! I can’t believe her.” She was internally fuming but was doing fairly well at hiding it. The only one why noticed was Twilight. Twilight had no idea why she was angry but she decided to ask her later. The dressmaking took about three hours. Three long, boring hours. But they were done. The end product was a beautiful long orange and yellow dress.
“Aaaand done!” Rarity said adding the final touch.
“Wow Sunset it looks amazing.” Spike commented.
Rarity gave Sunset a sly smirk but in response Sunset stuck out her tongue.
“It does look wonderful Rarity, how much do I owe you?” Twilight asked.
“Nothing at all darling. It is a gift for a friend.” Rarity responded.
“Thanks Rarity.” Sunset said.
“Think nothing of it darling.” Rarity replied.
The trio gave their farewells and took their leave. The went back home. When they got back Sunset saw it was one thirty in the afternoon. Still three hours and a half until the party. She quickly went upstairs to put the dress away. While she was there she decided to take a nap. So she did.
Just as she got on the bed there was a knock at the door. So she got back up and opened it. She was greeted by the sight of a small purple dragon she knew as Spike.
“Oh, hey Spike. Did you need something?” Sunset asked.
“Well I-I wanted to talk to you about last night.” Spike said.
“Oh no, he knows I lied.”
“W-What about l-last night?” Sunset asked.
“Well when you…. kissed … me.” Spike said.
“Spike I am really really…” Sunset but was cut off by Spike.
“I wanted to say I feel the same way about you.” Spike said.
Sunset gained a huge blush. He jaw hung slack and her eyes were wide open. She couldn’t believe it, it was like her dream come true.
“But what about Rarity?” Sunset asked.
“You are a million times better than her.” Spike said
“And I wanted to ask if you would be my special somepony?” Spike added.
Sunset began bouncing around the room saying “YES YES YES YES” like Twilight had when she got her cutie mark. She soon regain her composure.
“Sorry, as I was saying, I would love nothing more than to be your special somepony.” Sunset said with joy in her voice.
“Well can I give my special somepony a kiss?” Spike asked.
Sunset didn’t bother answering with words. She just began to lean in toward the dragon of her affection. Just as their lips were about to meet, she heard a knock and she awoke. It had just been a dream.
