"Hey girls!" Sunset Shimmer smiled, waving a hand from where she sat in the cafeteria. "Come on down! I saved a seat for you!"
"Much appreciated, darling." Rarity and Fluttershy sat across the table from her. They placed their trays down, but suddenly blinked. "My my," Rarity stated. "I never knew you wore glasses."
"I know, right?" Sunset smirked as she adjusted the lenses over her turquoise eyes. "Truth be told, I can barely see a thing without 'em."
"Then how come you've never worn them before?"
"Because all this time I was trying to keep up a 'cool' and 'wicked' image. Y'know..." Sunset rolled her four-eyes while gesturing with a dainty hand. "Fall Formal Princess... Flash as my magazine cover beau... evil succubus extraordinaire... blah blah blah—" She suddenly gasped, yanking her forearms up with dangling wrists. "Oh. My. God. They're serving carrots today?!"
"Why... y-yes!" Rarity nodded with a smile. "They placed some out just as we arrived at the serving counter."
Fluttershy held up her tray. "Would you like some?"
"Squee!" Sunset lunged forward, headbutting the plate.
"Eeeep!" Fluttershy flinched. When she braved a glance, she saw Sunset leaning back with four orange "tusks" sticking out of her mouth.
"Mmmmmmmm!" Sunset munched and munched and munched. Slowly, the carrots receded into her mouth, spilling a few crumbs across the tabletop.
Other students across the cafeteria craned their necks, curious as to the source of the pleasant, hungry moaning.
Rarity winced, fanning herself as her shoulders hunched on either side.
At last, Sunset gobbled up the last of the stalks. Her ears twitched as she swallowed the morsels down. "Mmmmmm... blblblblbl." She blew out her lips and smiled. "Scrumptious." Her lens'd eyes blinked at the two girls' gawking expressions. "What?" She rubbed her cheek. "Is there something on my muzzle?"
"No, your..." Fluttershy bit her lip. "...muzzle is fine."
"Oh, that's good." Sunset tossed her hair back, nostrils flaring. "Because I haven't had a good brushing in months and I'd hate to not look my best."
"You... d-don't say!" Rarity chuckled nervously and smiled. "You know, darling, if you enjoy the carrots that much, there're plenty more over there at the food line."
"Oh, I couldn't. Three in the afternoon is enough for me." She stood up halfway and patted her skirt. "Don't wanna make the flanks any rounder, if you know what I mean."
"No." Fluttershy shuddered. "We d-don't."
"Well, you know how it is." Sunset chuckled delicately as she rolled her eyes. "You eat too much, you can't clear a fence, even with a running start. You eat too infrequently and you risk twisting your insides with colic. Not like I've got anything to worry about... heh... I haven't been sweating profusely each time I try going to the bathroom."
"Erm..."
"But enough about me! Tell me how your day's been going!" She leaned forward, planting her chin on her bent wrists. "Seen any handsome stallions lately?"
"N-no, Sunset. I... c-can't say that we have."
"Bummer. Well..." Sunset winked. "Remember to be polite! Keep your tails down at all times, except for when they pass by. Then give it a little flick just to get their attention." She leaned back with a smug smile. "Works every time."
"... ... ...uh huh."
Rainbow Dash and Applejack strolled up.
"Hey guys! Mind if we sit here—?"
"APPLES! Squee!" And Sunset headbutted Applejack's tray.
"Tarnation!"
Quite simply the best mental image of Sunset I've ever seen.
Oh, you tease!
What in the world
UM.
What in God's good name am I reading and why am I reading it? Brain cells are precious, you know.
*Clicks to the next chapter*
It sounds like Sunset is getting homesick.
"Sunset Shimmer! What are you doing! You can't eat all those fucking carrots!"
"FUCK YOU I can't eat all these carrots!"
ERROR: h0r53: Sunset_Shimmer.exe has sprung a brain leak.
I don't get it.
I love this idea that Sunset always acted even more pony-like than Twilight all the time, but no one noticed since her being a b*tch kept everyone from getting close enough to notice.
There's somethin' about the word "Shimmyin'" that just brings a smile to me mug
hah. this is awesome. I'm starting to like sunset
Dawwww. So kewt.

Waat!?
I sense trolling. All hail the trolling!

5242557 Sunset is on a drug called "Friendship." This is also the street name for "possibly reverting back to a pony-like state because MAGICKS!!
I think some one needs to reboot Sunset....like instantly
Well, this is officially the fourth strangest thing I've ever read, right between Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Scootaloo Dies a Bunch. And yet I gave it a thumbs up . . .
Er......
Idk what im resding now other than im on the weird side if fimfiction again.
well this is certainly not what I expected, to say the least.
You'd think the others would've noticed her weird behavior before.
I'm not sure if this feeling is fear or curiosity...
This mare has valium flowing through her veins or something. And it's highly amusing.

Whoa, Sunset! If you eat all those carrots you're gonna get a wicked bad tummyache!
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....
*face phone*
*clicks next button*
I struggle so hard to not use pony pronouns when referring to myself in comments threads...
This... this story is m-mocking me.
"APPLES! Squee!" Okay, I'll be honest here... it's been like a month since I first read this story... and I keep quoting this specific line and it just fills me with sheer joy. I don't even know how to explain to you how happy this always makes my day.
That transition from flanks to stallions is hilarious and Sunset's dating tips just... plus I think it's super cute she can twitch her ears
Apples Squeee headbutt. much laughter on my side I can just see it happening before my minds eye
