Sunset Shimmer is invited to a house party! Only there's a big problem: it's happening on the weekend – time she planned to spend with her best friend and totally not secret crush, Twilight Sparkle – and that simply won't do. So, why don't they go together? Well, there are a few good reasons, actually. But none are enough to convince Sunset Shimmer not to bring her along.

The night may be doomed from the start, but that doesn't mean Sunset can't salvage it. And maybe, just maybe, she can find an opportunity to finally tell Twilight how she really feels.

A quick little one-off I've had sitting in the archive for a while. This story takes place in between chapters two and three of my other story Can You See What I See?, but reading that is not required to understand this story. Rated T for profanity usage, nothing else.
