This story is a sequel to Sunset Shimmer in the Land of Enchantment
Confessing your crush to your best friend in a desperate alien hostage situation may be romantic, especially when the fact that they are very much not single just adds to the pathos of it all. But that won't save you when you all get out intact and they remember. And somehow the fact that both Sunset and Twilight seem enthusiastic about Rarity's feelings, and have actually asked her on a date with them, just makes it scarier.
A lady doesn't panic. If Rarity tells herself that often enough it may become true.

Not in the least. Technology aspected magic mixing with bugs can lead only to good things. Surely.
I've REALLY got to stop using it's as a possessive.

:)
Eh, sorry. :)
No, you stupid amulet! Don't create a giant insect monster!

Technology aspected?
9178712
Oh don’t worry, it won’t
9178713
Just the flavor. Like the standard magic the girls have is music horse and harmony aspected for example.

Then where's the tech-based magic coming from?
9178725
The dimension with the ray guns and spaceships from Land of Enchantment. That’s why the dimensional transmogrifier turned a gun into a death ray for example. If the thing had been tuned to Equestria instead it would have turned it into...hmm, not sure. Probably a nasty looking dark crystal wand.
Of course, an Equestrian tuned dimensional transmogrifier wouldn’t have looked like technology in the first place. Unless Twilight made it.

Ah
Cybermites... cant live whit out them, yet certanly not whit them.
This absolutely needs to be a thing.
And I'm somewhat concerned as to what Xiii-7 is going to do to help his mommy.

Thanks! Though actually the first was meant to be 'in thought'. Fixed now.

"Thanks!"
You're welcome!

See, this is how insidious typos are. I spot one, and miss the second one right next to it! :)

Everything he can of course!
A magical optimizing AI hell bent on getting Rarity laid. Oh, sorry, my bad, I mean a magical self-replicating optimizing AI hell bent on getting Rarity laid. I’m calling even odds on a hot threesome and grey goo.
9189159
Much worse than that. It’s hardly optimized at all...
9189159
I thought it's trying to get Twilight laid? Or all three of them, or something? Anyway, it "awoke" in Twilight's house, so she is the person it was trying to "help".

It actually was in Rarity's room. It started as a silverfish transformed by a spark of residual tech-magic and her amulet being too generous and helping out.
And they're all on a date, but it's trying to help make the date romantic. But it's probably not going to be very good at it. I don't blame it though, it's only a few hours old.
Please write more, I want to see where things go.
That cellphone is going to be wary anoying for a few chapters...
Aand then be made to a pet, I bet.
"And the it was familiar."
"And it was familiar."?
This is such an odd, but fun story so far! By odd I mean I'm not usually into sci-fi, but I like how you use it. :) Thanks for the nice new chapter!
I think I would have tactically nope'd out as soon as the phones started playing in sync. Unfamiliar location, unknown number of unknown persons surrounding you with lots of concealment, previously unknown levels of coordinated capabilities; risk level high, evade immediately and suppress suspected contacts en route to escape vehicle. To be fair, this is what they eventually did, but they sat in a compromised position way too long (which is actually in character for them being teenaged girls) while allowing an unknown actor to operate at its leisure and maintain its initiative.
Oof, this is very mysterious. Love the romance, like the suspense. Also, those phones? They're giving me Pretty Little Liars vibes.
You know, you never did say how they handled the seating arrangements...
Applejack is, of course, the muscle wizard of the group.
"AH CAST FIST!"
In any case, wonderful blend of heartfelt emotion and action-horror. Eagerly looking forward to more.

mm hmm. Balanced party but of course they're split. AJ is the Paladin, given she ponies up from honesty. What's more honest than kicking in the door and proclaiming you're there to smite some evil?
Yep, balancing between sappiness and creepy is quite a dance. We'll see how it goes.
Either way, Rarity's list of phobias regarding common household objects is just going to keep growing I'm sure.
I really hope that you write more of this. Sunny/Rarity, Sunlight/Twilight, and Rarity/Twilight are some extremely delightful ships. Putting the three of them together in a fun polyship only adds to my enjoyment.
