Cafe Everfree
"I'm sooooo prepped for this game, I think I can hit any pass I get my hands on!" Rainbow Dash said excitedly. Rarity sat quietly as she let Dash unload her usual pre-game rants.
"Well I'm glad to hear it darlin', but your team hasn't lost a single game since you and Sunset Shimmer joined it." Rarity smiled. "And that's without using magic!"
"Well, we are that awesome we don't need magic to win." Smiled Rainbow Dash.
"Try not to get to banged up tonight, we have rehearsal tomorrow fer the summer festival." Applejack added as she rested her head on Flash's shoulder.
"Yeah that reminds me guys, I got you another festival slot if you're interested, I'll give you more details on it at rehearsal tomorrow." Flash brushed Applejack's hair of her cheek.
"Well all I can say is you're doing an amazing job as our manager Flash." Twilight Sparkle added as she gave Spike a dog biscuit.
"Can I get anyone anything else?" Asked Sonata Dusk as she stood up to go to the ordering booth.
"Yeah i'll take a mocha please buddy." Said Spike as he looked up from his chair to Sonata.
"Sure thing." Sonata made her way to the booth, then suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Hey you! I nearly...No! no coffee for you!" Sonata looked terrified at the thought of Spike on coffee again, Spike laughed cheekily as he looked at Timber Spruce.
"Seriously Spike, that was so close this time..." Smiled Timber Spruce as he fist bumped Spike's paw.
"Yeah...she isn't the sharpest of our girls...but you gotta love her for it." Spike smiled as he watched Sonata Dusk trip on a slightly raised tile.
"There she goes again..." Smiled Rarity as Sonata composed herself quickly and slightly turned her gaze to see if anyone had noticed her tumble. "The poor darling...its hard to believe she was ever with those awful Sirens." Recalled Rarity.
"So by the sounds coming from your table by Dash...I'd say you guys are confident for tonight...as always." Gloriosa appeared from the kitchen and leaned over Twilight Sparkle to take a bite out of her cookie. "Thanks sis." She winked.
"Hey...you can get these for free you know...." Smiled Twilight Sparkle as she took her cookie back.
"Erm...those were free Twilight." Said Sunset Shimmer as her and Pinkie Pie joined the group, both holding hands and their body language very much that of a new couple, with Pinkie leaning on Sunset a little.
"Oh hey guys....wait!" Said Rainbow Dash "You mean you guys finally...got together!" She said overjoyed.
"Erm yeah...wait what?...we were just about to tell you guys...." Started Sunset Shimmer as Pinkie Pie slightly hid behind her shoulder.
"Oh wonderful darlings! you two look adorable together!" Added Rarity as she gave both of them a hug.
"Pinkie Pie is it just me or does everyone know about us?" Sunset Shimmer turned to her girlfriend.
"Erm you don't have to be psychic to see you two have been doting after each other for the last few months." Twilight Sparkle smiled as she leaned her head on Timber. "It seemed one way from Pinkie Pie's side at first...but lately..." She smiled.
"You guys are perfect for each other..." Smiled Spike.
"Yeah...like...I mean Pinkie Pie is like totally crazy and Sunset Shimmer has the most patience and resilience in like...the whole world." Sonata sounded off hazily as always.
"Erm..." Sunset Shimmer looked up at her amused. "Thanks?...I think." She managed.
"YEAH THAT'S RIGHT!" Bounced Pinkie Pie as she turned to Sunset Shimmer "I'll get your drink...honey." She blushed but bounced off. Sunset Shimmer loved how Pinkie Pie would know exactly what to come back with, and she felt warm and fuzzy at been called honey by her. She followed Pinkie Pie with her gaze and couldn't believe how lucky she was her first girlfriend was so beautiful.
"Awww...that's so adorable!" Said Rarity as she watched their interactions. "You look so smitten with her when you are not hiding it."
"Oh c'mon Rarity!" Sunset Shimmer grabbed a couple of chairs. "But I guess you're right....this feels much...more natural than pretending to just be best friends." She sat down.
"Hehe...well you two have pretty much been a item for the last couple of months, ya know." Added Fluttershy quietly beaming at Sunset Shimmer who still seemed a little nervous.
"I'm so glad you guys are okay with us...I wont lie, I've been freaking out a little since I started been attracted to her." Sunset Shimmer relaxed back on her chair.
10 Minutes earlier
"Hey you..." Sunset Shimmer walked up the waiting Pinkie Pie who stood outside the Everfree Cafe.
"Hey...Sunset...so erm...." Pinkie Pie was knocked out of character again.
"Oh c'mon Pinkie Pie it's just me...you don't have to freak out when I talk to you, I made my feelings clear...you don't have to hide it anymore...and neither do I." Sunset Shimmer tried to get her usual Pinkie Pie back. "Will this help you relax a little?" She leaned forward and kissed her, Pinkie Pie kissed her back and a few seconds later they gently released their first kiss and Pinkie Pie was back to her normal self.
"Wow...that's...well wow." Said Sunset Shimmer who now tried to compose herself as she ponied up, her pony ears and tail glowing brightly.
"That's new." She felt her pony ears and looked at her ponytail.
"Wow yourself Miss Shimmer." Smiled a ponied up Pinkie Pie as she slightly bounced on the spot. "Shall we?" She asked as she opened the door for Sunset Shimmer.
"Yeah but together." Sunset Shimmer held out her hand and Pinkie Pie took it and wrapped herself around Sunset's arm.
"Too much?" She asked as Sunset Shimmer happily looked at her.
"Not at all....not at all." She smiled back at her partner.
