That was absolutely adorable. You did a fine job, I loved every second of it. Thank you so much! I'm sorry it took me so long to write a comment, my life got busy after the holidays, but I squeezed in time to read as often as I could.

Thank you so much!

Before she fell however, Twilight managed to twist around with a look of surprise, and catch Sunset by the hand to steady her.

Perfect save!

"I don't think my parents would let me stay at home alone for that long."

And this is her family we're talking about Sunset.

Sunset shook her head defiantly, trying to figure out an answer. "I'm sure we could figure something out between us and the others. You could stay at my place for as long as you wanted!"

They stood there a moment longer, Sunset silently brooding, before Twilight decided they were finished and stepped past her. "Have a happy Christmas Sunset," she said over her shoulder.

Now there's something I'd only hear from someone British when it comes to Christmas.

Nothing to worry about. One of the students made a mess of the Hearth's Warming tree and isn’t owning up. We’re fairly sure who it was, and I have an idea why, but I’m now looking to turn this into a friendship lesson about honesty. We’re interviewing the students one by one right now. I believe they simply think I’m taking notes.

Guess that means this take place around the same time as that season 8 episode that's name I forgot.

Sunset frowned at yet another reminder of the differences between the two worlds. Princess of Friendship, Element of Magic, Hero of Equestria, and now even principle of her own school! Somehow, all the similarities between the two worlds made the differences all the more glaring. She swallowed her frustration however, and continued to write.

"Is everything okay? You didn't respond after your first message, and I didn't know what was... going... on?" The worried look turned into confusion as she looked past Sunset into the main room of her house. The lights had been turned off, but there was still an intimate orange glow from a series of candles laid in a path to the sofa and placed elsewhere in the room. Tinsel and stockings had been hung over the shelf above the TV, as if it were a mantlepiece, and a thick heavy blanket sat upon the couch, open and waiting for it's occupant.

Twilight giggled, finally relaxing and giving in to the scenario before her. “You really thought this through, didn’t you?”

She sure did.

"Sunset, please stop talking before I lose my nerve," Twilight said, leaning in closer, closing the distance in a moment. Sunset felt Twilight against her lips, and her mind at once both shut down entirely, and exploded into activity. Her mind and senses were filled with Twilight, a presence that threatened to overwhelm her. The way she looked, the way she sounded, felt, and smelled. Memories danced in her mind of moments with them together, or even times that hadn't happened yet, that her brain conjured as desires and wishes that hadn't fully formed.

That's what I was waiting for all along!
