Forests, meadows, all of those had great importance for both Twilight and Sunset. The first time they went to a forest it was the time when they finally got to know each other. Their fears and dreams alongside plans for the future had been extensively discussed those nights, although at the time Twilight was battling self-doubt while juggling a romance. After the discovery of their magical geodes, things became peaceful enough for them to finally talk and enjoy what the camp offered them.
When Twilight wasn’t with Timber, she was with her friend and sometimes talking and experimenting with her new powers with Sunset. That was only what had happened the first time they went to camp Everfree. After that things settled down once more into routine of going to school and saving the world from magical accidents and exiled monster by Starswirl.
Twilight had been ecstatic about having some romance in her life after so much time alone, but little by little -so subtle that it didn’t register to the group of friends- things between Twilight and Timber fizzed out. Less calls, fewer messages and less pining for the other, all of that happening in a couple of months. Sometime around November, Twilight was one second laughing with Sunset at a café the two had found out, the next she got up as if suddenly remembering something. The something was the fact that she had completely forgotten Timber.
It was true that Twilight and the rest of the group went back to Camp Everfree the next summer, but things were different. Timber wasn’t there and Gloriosa had several camp supervisors, all of them happy to help the campers. After talking with the older girl they found out that her brother was spending several weeks on Europe alongside his new girlfriend.
Everyone was ready for total drama, but instead Twilight simply blinked and continued talking with Gloriosa as if nothing had happened. The other girls thought that Twilight was just keeping appearances and she would cry once she was on her tent. Sunset knew better and as soon as the two got into their tent -sapphire once again- she began to plan things with Twilight what activities they would be part of on the camp.
Sunset knew that after all that time, Twilight had simply moved on, the enchantment had been broken so to say and this time there were very few instances in which Twilight and Sunset were separated. That is until a very beautiful night of full moon in the docks forced Sunset to exchange tents with one of her friends. Rarity tried hard not to pry, but in the end they found out that Twilight had all but thrown Sunset out of the tent after a rather heavy make out session under the moonlight.
Rarity thought that sounded really romantic and in the end, thanks to her talking with Twilight and her fears of a not-so normal relationship, things had finally been patched by the two girls. After that and many talks between the two girls around the many spots on Camp Everfree, the teenagers had come back to school with a deeper bond that only grew in time.
Next year they were there once more and using the moonlight and the help of their friends -who seemed to meddle on their romance a little too much- Sunset finally asked the question, right there at the docks that started it all, or at least the one they had rebuild for the sixth time that summer.
And one more summer, just a few days after a very interesting wedding planned by two Cadence and two Pinkies, the two women were on the road, not on route to their favorite summer spot. This time they had decided on somewhere else to spend their honeymoon. A road trip around the country was the thing they decided before starting college and the next chapter on a very interesting life together.
The first step had been a spot not too far away from the Everfree forest and both girls used the stop to stretch their legs and rest for a bit. Both women weren’t exactly tired since they were used to spending time on top of a bike and the one that Sunset had gotten was perfect for long travels. Still, they wanted to check the camping gear and the place was known for being a nice camping zone.
Looking at the different RVs that were parked around the place Sunset sighed knowing that the place would have several families already camping. The redhead didn’t mind the other people, she even felt better knowing that there were others around, she just wasn’t that good with kids, or at least she thought she wasn’t that good.
It was at that precise moment that life decided to laugh at her -which is totally ridiculous since I am the one controlling fate and destiny and I’m not laughing at Sunset- making a couple of kids voices appear close to her.
“Wow, check that one! It looks way cooler than that dumb rust bucket,” a young boy said eyeing Sunset’s new bike with a redheaded girl that seemed to be around the age of the boy behind him.
“There’s a part in me that wants to disagree with you just because, but everything beats that old thing,” the girl said making Sunset think of Rainbow Dash with the attitude she had. She had to laugh a little bit due to the two kids that were either friends -she doubted it considering the sarcasm- or family members.
“Thanks, is not too bad right?” What came next was a series of questions about the bike and if the boy could ride it, which was simply impossible considering the bike was big enough to withstand open road travel and more than enough baggage space for two newlyweds. It was at this point that Twilight returned from her short walk that she found Sunset talking with both kids.
It was more than a little difficult and a little awkward when the boy asked why the two girls were travelling on a bike alone. How do you explain a couple of kids that you are a lesbian couple on their honeymoon? Thankfully they were saved by the appearance of their grandfather. Sadly, this was not a first meeting.
“Sunset?”
“Hello Max,” Oh, how Sunset hated Plumbers.
