Previously on 'Don't Run Away'
"I know I have bad timing, but we really need to know if Sunset would sing with us?" Flash asks as we pull away from each other.
"After what you did for us, I'll sing two songs with you guys ." Sunset says as she holds Twilight close.
"Ha-ha nah, enjoy the party. We only need you for one. However; we can talk later about collaborating." Flash says and Sunset nods.
"Alrighty then let's get this show on the road!" Cheese yells as he ushers Sunset and Flash up to the stage.
*************
"Whoa, who says I don't know how to throw a party."
Awkward laughing.
"I know, don't worry we've gotten everything under control."
Applause and cheers.
"We have another special guest. These guys are one of the hottest bands at CHS."
Cheers.
"Give it up for the Flash Drives!"
Flash walks up to the mic stand and bows to the crowd.
"How we all doing tonight!"
"Yeah!"
"Well we have a great set list for you guys! But first, let's welcome our friend Sunset Shimmer back to the stage!"
"Sunset! Yeah!"
"Be mine Sunset!"
"Whoa! Go Twilight!"
"Sunset here is going to help us sing our newest song. Hopefully you guys like it."
Flash and Sunset turn towards the drummer.
Flash counts them in and yells "Ow!"
As the band starts strumming the chords, Sunset starts moving her hips to the beat. Then she turns around and starts to sing.
Side by side
Walking home, stumbling home, getting curious
What's on your mind?
'Cause what's on mine's a dirty mind
Why so serious?
Baby the stars above will light the way
Just take my hand and hear the words I say
Yeah, when the morning comes, I'll always stay
You gotta know, you gotta know that I'm feeling this
Ow!
Come and roll with me, we'll rock them body moves
Me and you (oh, just a little bit)
Body moves (yeah, just a little bit, ow!)
Coming home with me, oh baby, let it loose
Me and you (oh, just a little bit)
Body moves (yeah, just a little bit)
I don't need it, but you know how bad I want it
And your touch has got me haunted, but I like it
Come and roll with me, we'll rock them body moves
Me and you (oh, just a little bit)
Body moves (yeah, just a little bit)
We got all night
Show me more, a little more, it's getting scandalous
Yeah, all my life, yeah
Waiting for the girl next door to get real dangerous
Baby the stars above will light the way
Just take my hand and hear the words I say
Yeah, when the morning comes, I'll always stay
You gotta know, you gotta know that I'm feeling this
Ow!
Come and roll with me, we'll rock them body moves
Me and you (oh, just a little bit)
Body moves (yeah, just a little bit, ow!)
Coming home with me, oh baby, let it loose
Me and you (oh, just a little bit)
Body moves (yeah, just a little bit)
I don't need it, but you know how bad I want it
And your touch has got me haunted, but I like it
Come and roll with me, we'll rock them body moves
Me and you (yeah, just a little bit)
Body moves (huh, just a little bit)
Ow!
Ha, that's right
Haha (Sunset and Flash jump up and down to the beat. Sunset stops and kneels in front of Twilight)
Yeah, when the morning comes, I'll always stay (She grabs her hand and brings it up to her lips.)
You gotta know, you gotta know that I'm feeling this (She kisses her hand and jumps up,)
Ow!
Come and roll with me, we'll rock them body moves
Me and you (oh, just a little bit)
Body moves (yeah, just a little bit, ow!)
Coming home with me, oh baby, let it loose
Me and you (oh, just a little bit)
Body moves (yeah, just a little bit)
I don't need it, but you know how bad I want it
And your touch has got me haunted, but I like it
Come and roll with me, we'll rock them body moves
Me and you (yeah, just a little bit)
Body moves (huh, just a little bit)
Ow!
Since we were in the front row we saw every move Sunset did.
"I think we can all agree she was dancin' just for ya Twilight." I say and Twilight gets redder as Sunset approaches us.
"You have a very special instrument darling." Rarity says as she leans back into me. I wrap my arms around her waist and place my chin on her shoulders.
"Thank you, I wanted to make the song more... personal, so to speak." Sunset winks at Twilight and she looks away but shyly moves in front of Sunset.
"... I hope I get a copy of that recording."
"Was there any doubt?" Sunset asks and moves forward to softly kiss Twilight.
"Dude, we need to stop giving everyone a free show." Rainbow says and turns Fluttershy and herself towards the stage.
We do the same and dance the night away.
After the Party
We are all sitting down in the family room drinking water and going over the night's events.
"Seriously Rarity, you should've seen her trying so hard to learn the steps. So hilarious!" Rainbow Dash laughs as she retells the last two nights.
"Ta be fair, those moves are outside ma comfort zone." I duck my head to hide the redness of my face.
"Nevertheless, I loved the gesture of declaring your fondness of me darling." Rarity says as she grabs my hand and holds it in her lap.
"It was also very kind of you to help out like you did Dashie." Fluttershy leans her head against Rainbow Dash's chest.
"Of course. Truth be told, I was going to suggest singing a song or doing a play if things went to shi- bad for you AJ."
"Nice save." Sunset enters the room with Twilight right behind her.
"Well guys, we're going to get going. But we'll be back tomorrow for the clean up."
Cheese was about to say something when I interrupt him.
"It's non negotiable Cheese. We'll be here too."
"Oh darling, remember the game with my father." Rarity reminds me as we get up to say our goodbyes.
"...we'll bring lunch then, or dinner. And that is also non negotiable." I say and everyone nods.
"See ya'll tomorrow." We say our good nights and head for the door to Rarity's car.
Ride Home
"Rares, didn't ya bring Twilight and Sunset?"
"I did, but Sunset drove her motorcycle here as well. Just in case I believe." She says and laces our fingers together. We are silent for a few minutes until I remembered something.
"How ya feeling, Rares?"
Rarity raises her eyebrow and stops at the red light.
"Overjoyed, surprised, happy, tired, excited and scared."
"Why scared?"
"Because I know my father will give you the whole 'if you hurt her, I'll hunt you down' speech."
We both laugh at her impression of a deep-ish voice.
"I'm ready for that conversation sugarcube, so don't ya fret."
We sit in silence again until the light turns green.
"I am scared of what's in store for us Jacqueline. But I know we'll get through anything."
"Cause we've been dating for a while now. Just never wanted ta do anything bout it." I say and kiss her knuckles.
"My thoughts exactly."
