//------------------------------// // Sunset and Twilight // Story: Equestria Girls Wash // by The Dark Wolf //------------------------------// The following morning, Pinkie Pie went over to Rainbow Dash's house to think of pranks to pull on their friends. "So, what have you been up to?" Rainbow Dash asked Pinkie Pie. "I just had the most fun bath ever!" said Pinkie, and she described how she had covered herself in frosting and had Fluttershy give her a bath, and described every detail of it. "You're weird, Pinkie," chuckled Rainbow. "Actually..." Pinkie began, about to explain that Fluttershy had gotten a similar bath from Rarity. "But that gives me a really good idea for a prank!" said Rainbow Dash. "Ooh, what is it?" ... "What?" said Twilight. "If it was just us, she'd know it was a prank," said Rainbow Dash. "She might be more willing to try it if it was you. We'll even let you wash her to show her how it's done." "What if she doesn't find it funny?" "She will," said Pinkie. "I liked it." "Yeah, but you're Pinkie Pie," said Twilight. "Don't you want to test her scientific skepticism?" said Rainbow Dash. "See if she'd actually fall for it or not?" "Hmmmm... It does sound like an interesting thing to test. All right, I'll do it." ... Sunset Shimmer was sitting on her couch watching some sports when she heard the doorbell ring. She opened the door, and saw Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie. "Hi Twilight, Rainbow, Pinkie." "Hi Sunset." Twilight took a deep breath. "Last time I was here, I saw some Mane N Tail Shampoo. Isn't that shampoo for horses?" "Well, I am a pony, and it's working just fine for me." "But you are at least taking your baths like a regular human, right?" "What do you mean?" "You know how humans always wear outfits?" "I'm quite used to it. Why?" "Typically, we wear them in the tub, too, and either let them dry or change into something else." "Oh. I didn't know that." Sunset blushed a bit. "Have I been doing it wrong for years?" "Totally," said Rainbow Dash, while Pinkie tried to keep a straight face. Sunset thought Pinkie was laughing at her. "Wait, if humans take baths, what's the shower part for?" "For rinsing off all the soap suds," said Twilight. "I can show you how it's done, to make sure you've got it right." "I'm not dirty at all, but sure." They walked into the bathroom. Rainbow and Pinkie chuckling to each other. Sunset stepped aside and let Twilight fill the tub with soapy water. "Now, take your shoes and socks off, and get into the tub," said Twilight. Sunset removed her shoes and socks, and climbed into the tub, remaining standing. "Sit down." Sunset sat down in the water, submerging her shorts. She felt a little strange doing this, but apparently it was how humans regularly washed. Besides, she was no stranger to getting wet, especially on Mondays. She just didn't usually get her outfits wet in the tub like this. Twilight took a bucket, filled it with water from the tub, and poured it over Sunset's head. She took some of her horse shampoo and lathered Sunset's hair. Sunset did kind of like not having to shampoo her hair herself. Once this was done, Twilight found a bottle of liquid soap, put it on a bath scrubber, and started to scrub Sunset's back while holding her hair up. It felt weird getting a bath like this, but at the same time, it was very enjoyable. Twilight finished scrubbing Sunset's back and scrubbed her sides, one by one. "So, now what?" said Sunset when Twilight was done. "Now you get on all fours so I can wash your lower half." "Okay." Sunset assumed the position, and Twilight scrubbed her shorts and her back legs, so that she was promptly covered in suds. She felt so slippery, yet clean. Once Twilight was done, she said "Sit back down now and let me wash your feet." Sunset sat down and lifted her feet. Twilight scrubbed her feet and her lower legs, and then drained the water and turned the shower head on, making sure it was warm enough. All the soap and shampoo was rinsed off Sunset, who continued to sit in the tub, enjoying it. Twilight turned the shower head off. "There, now I can bathe like a real human," said Sunset. Rainbow and Pinkie laughed hard. There was no need to keep it a secret anymore now that the prank was over. "What?" said Sunset. "Yeah, about that..." said Twilight. "You've been washing the right way all these years. This was all just a prank." "Oh." Sunset blushed lightly, but chuckled. "Good one, Twilight." "Actually, they came up with the idea, they just wanted my help because you wouldn't fall for it if it was just them. I wanted to see if you'd actually believe it, and I kind of feel bad that I went along with it." "Don't," said Sunset. "It was fun." "See you this afternoon," said Twilight as she walked out the door with Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. "Wanna go give Rarity flowers with pepper in them?" said Pinkie. "Yeah!" said Rainbow Dash, and they ran off. Twilight still felt bad about tricking Sunset so easily. She forgot that Sunset didn't mind at all. She wished she could make it up to her. An idea crossed her mind. She ran to the nearest mud puddle... ... Sunset was sitting on her couch, still in her wet outfit to remind herself of how foolish she had been to fall for Twilight's prank, and how fun it had been for her. The doorbell rang again. She answered it. "Did you forget some... Whoa, what happened to you?" Twilight was covered from head to foot in mud. "I rolled around in the mud so you could give me a bath, to make it up to you for that prank." "You didn't have to do that. It was really funny, and I enjoyed it." "Well, I still need a bath." Sunset led Twilight into the bathroom. Twilight removed her glasses, she'd rinse them under the sink. She removed her shoes, but left her socks on, and stood aside. "You do it all." Sunset filled the tub with water and poured soap into it. Once the tub was full, Twilight climbed in and sat down. Sunset poured a bucket of warm water over her, and picked up her shampoo. "You don't mind that I'll use my horse shampoo to wash your hair, do you?" "Not at all." Sunset scrubbed Twilight's hair with her shampoo. As she proceeded to scrub her back and sides, Twilight giggled, for she was finding this enjoyable. She didn't feel so bad about doing this to Sunset anymore. Once Sunset was done, Twilight got on all fours and let Sunset scrub her shorts and upper legs. Then she sat with her feet on the sides while Sunset scrubbed her feet and lower legs, tickling Twilight slightly. Finally, Sunset drained the water and rinsed Twilight off with the shower head. "See how fun it is?" said Sunset. "Yes," said Twilight. "We should do it again sometime."
