Why me? (A Christmas Story)

Sunset Shimmer and Fluttershy have long since buried the hatchet on the way Sunset Shimmer had treated her before Twilight showed her the way. Now friends, attending the same college, they are both snowed in over the holidays.

Though she holds no resentment any longer, Fluttershy does question Sunset Shimmer's motives for her high-school torture. How will Sunset Shimmer answer her questions, and how will their bond develop after Fluttershy learns of the true reasons for Sunset's resentment towards her in high-school?

A one-shot Christmas story.

I expected the reasoning but you went about it in a much better way than I expected. Good job.

Aww, that was really sweet

"I can't answer that question without my lawyer." Fluttershy sang as she put icing on the cupcakes.

Everything for love (and breakfast )

"After everything that happened last night, I thought a good breakfast was in order." Sunset said as she hummed around the kitchen, placing bowls and plates on their table. The bowls were full of oatmeal and smelled of cinnamon and apples, and the plates were stacked with freshly baked cupcakes. An Equestrian Hearthswarming breakfast sat upon the table.

Isn' Fluttershy the one cooking?

I really, really love your execution and setup with these two and this overall. IT'S THE MOST CUTEST AND PUREST THING AND I LOVE IT. MY heart. Honestly, their interaction in here and the fuzziness, it's so sweet and really does hit that holiday spirit really well

This was a very cute story. I especially loved the motivation you gave Sunset for bullying Fluttershy.

"Alright, will you please call and order it when we get back to the room? I can pay for it." Fluttershy mumbled. College had pulled her out of her shell a bit, however she was still terrified of talking on the phone or ordering food.

Glad to see that fluttershy has started to show a change, I mean people do often say you learn more about yourself in college.

"But that wouldn't have been our flight if it hadn't been for me." Fluttershy scrunched her face up and stomped her foot. To an outsider, this would have looked childish, but Sunset knew that this was the start of Fluttershy's constant self-loathing.

You have nothing to apologize for fluttershy, this happens to everyone each year. It's a common curtesy.

Fluttershy smiled and relaxed her grip on her friend's hand, however Sunset noticed they she did not let go until they arrived back to their dorm. Fluttershy released her grip on Sunset to fumble with her keys and open the door. "Home sweet home..." she hummed as she entered their living room.

That first they in the first sentence should be replaced with that since the sentence doesn't make sense.

'A couple glasses' soon found the pair on their third bottle. Sunset was merely tipsy, but she could feel the pleasant buzz in the back of her head as she listened to her friend tell stories from her childhood.

Dang.

"Well," Sunset sighed. It was about time the truth came out, "You're wrong." she said bluntly. "You were the biggest threat out of everybody. You're way stronger than you give yourself credit for and tougher too. You are so smart and funny and you may not have been popular, but no one person in the entire school had a negative thing to say about you. You were a threat, but you didn't realize it because you were shy... I tore you down all of the time so you never would realize just how amazing you are... I think that's what I regret most from that time of my life."

Oh my.

"Fluttershy..." Sunset mumbled, the burning in her face and eyes only growing at her friend's laughter. Logically, she knew that Fluttershy was drunk. She obviously wasn't trying to hurt Sunset, but it didn't stop the pain that grew within her at every laugh.

Yeah, it's definitely the wine causing her to act like this. 🙄

The bed was cold when Sunset awoke. Her head was fuzzy from the night previously. She did not remember much, but she remembered the key points. Lots of wine, laughter, and tears. She also recalled a particularly pleasant dream where she had fallen asleep in an angel's arms.

It wasn't a dream sunset, it was real.

Sunset entered the living room and was greeted by a rather odd sight. Christmas lights had been hanged around the apartment. A stocking with the letter S on it and another with F rested over the arms of their couch. Fluttershy hummed happily as she stirred a pot and checked the oven.

😦

"After everything that happened last night, I thought a good breakfast was in order." Sunset said as she hummed around the kitchen, placing bowls and plates on their table. The bowls were full of oatmeal and smelled of cinnamon and apples, and the plates were stacked with freshly baked cupcakes. An Equestrian Hearthswarming breakfast sat upon the table.

Shouldn't the sentence say fluttershy said not sunset said?

Fluttershy's lips met hers with a small chaste peck of a kiss, but it was more than enough for Sunset.

A happy ending for the two friends on one of the happiest days of the year.
