Sunset Shimmer opened her eyes. The lavender ceiling of her room was a familiar sight ever since she had come home. She replayed the scene in her mind; the burning hatred of Celestia's new student, Twilight Sparkle, followed by regret, followed by everyone in school shunning her, hating her. Some would even go out of their way to avoid her, as if she would suddenly become a demon again, like on that terrible night. Then she had come back through the portal. After a long, long discussion on whether or not she could continue her studies, they had decided she could; under one condition.

Twilight Sparkle was to be her teacher.

At first she hated the very idea that her worst enemy would be teaching her about the very thing she had promised herself to learn about on her own. But Twilight was a good teacher, and after a few weeks she had warmed up to her. Twilight had come up with the ritual of Sunday breakfasts together, where they would discuss what they were going to learn about that week with Sparkler and Dinky Doo, her two other top-ranking students.

But enough with all that. Today was in fact, a Sunday, and being late for Sunday breakfast was one of the worst crimes punishable at Twilight Sparkle's Friendship Academy. But she wasn't even concerned about that. Tonight was the Dusk Aurora, a beautiful sunset that seemed to collide with dusk, hence the name, and tonight she and Twilight were going to go see it together. Just the two of them. Their first date as marefriends. A warm blush lit up Sunset's face as she got her saddlebags and headed downstairs.

"Good morning, Sunny." Twilight smiled, her eyes twinkling with affection. "Morning, Miss Sparkle." Sunset purposefully added a bit of seriousness to her reply to remind her teacher that they were on business now; her name was Sunset. No pet names allowed during class.

That didn't stop them from sharing a nuzzle once breakfast was over.
