//------------------------------// // Chapter 4. The Perfect Day. // Story: Scars // by Theponywriter22 //------------------------------// Life was going great for Sunset and Twilight they were moving forwards in their jobs. Twilight had gotten her doctorate and was working at one of the best science institutes in the country. Sunset followed her dream and became a Teacher at Canterlot High which was great at first, but she was having a few bad days, students misbehaving . It wasn't until Twilight sat down with Sunset and told her she was contributing to the world by teaching the future. The fact she made it her life's work to teaching kids wasn't short of Amazing. She inspired her students to work hard and helped them find their place in the world. This made Sunset feel a lot better about her work and it gave her the confidence she needed. They had brought a house that perfectly fitted the both of them, It was big enough to give them both an office each to work from and guest room if any of the girls wanted to stay over. Spike got his own room but preferred to sleep in the same room as Twilight and Sunset on most nights. They had the odd normal argument here and there but over all, they we're incredibly happy and very much in love. Life seem to be perfect. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Present day. Sunset had just finished marking papers for the day and was feeling pretty good as she let out a sigh of relief. She stretched out her arm as she decided to set up her lessons for next week later as she didn't really felt in the mood to do it now. Her belly rumbled agreement her letting her know it was lunch time. Sunset was just gonna go to the kitchen and make herself something to eat, But Twilight had spent a long time in her office it would be nice if they went out to eat for bit. She knocked on the door to her office before popping her head through. "Hey babe, I thought we could go get something to eat." Twilight was staring intensely at her chalk bored filled with all sorts of equations it was way above Sunset's level . She didn't really understand this world version of science, she missed Equestria and its way of knowledge. Magic seemed to be easier, humans had to make it difficult for them selves, she never understood why. "I would love to baby but im kinda busy. Why don't you ask Trixie, you haven't seen her in ages." This was true she had seen her best friend since she came back off her tour, it would be good to catch up but she was still a bit disappointed that Twilight wasn't. "Okay then but remember to take a brake at some point." Twilight turned around smiling at Sunset before walking over to give her a quick kiss on the lips. "I will, promise. Would you take Spike he need's to go out for walks." Sunset smiled. "Yeah I'll take him out." "Thanks Shimmy, have fun." Twilight walked back to her chalk bored. Sunset left Twilight to her work and gave Trixie a quick text asking to meet at the burger joint near by for a quick catch up, to which Trixie quickly replied agreeing to meet. Sunset immediately went looking for Spike, she soon found him snoozing on the front room sofa. he was murmuring something about catching squirrels She couldn't quite understand it, but it made her giggle. "Spike! Come on we're going for a walk!" Spike instantly woke up wagging his tail, panting happily. "Is Twilight coming too?" Spike barked happily as hopped around. "No just me." Sunset laughed she struggled to get the coiler Spike. "You know I'd like to spend time you." she added as finished putting the collier on and ruffled his head. Spike and Sunset made their way out the front door. "Where are we going?" Spike asked excited. "Firstly we're going to the burger joint where we will meet Trixie for lunch, ill get you a burger don't worry and afterwards we'll go to the park." "Let's go!" Spike cheered. They arrived at the burger joint and found Trixie already waiting outside. Sunset smiled as soon as they both saw each. "Trixie!" She ran over to her friend hugging her tightly. "Its so good see you Trix." "Trixie is happy to see you too and She has so much to tell you!" The magician said excitedly. They sat outside as they eat their lunch and talked about their lives. Trixie talked about all the shows she did and how well they went. "That's great Trix, im so happy for you." Sunset said before taking another bite out her burger. "Well that's not all, Trixie met someone." She beamed excitedly. "Wow, that's amazing, who is it?" Sunset asked stunned. "Her name is Starlight, she works apart of the crew that sets up the stage and she completely adores me." Sunset rolled her eyes before smiling. "But enough about me how are you doing how's Teaching going?" "Its rewarding work... but it has its off moments and its rough days. Im so glad I have Twilight to come home to." Sunset answered with a happy sigh. "How is Dr Sparkle?" Trixie asked. "She great, stomped on this science problem. She tried explaining it to me but it went right over my head." Sunset chuckled "And you two are good?" Trixie asked just to makes sure. "We're happy and still deeply in love. I couldn't live with out her, she everything to me." After lunch Sunset and Trixie took Spike to the park near by as they played fetch and let him terrorise the local squirrels. But time got on and Sunset still had work to do. She called Spike back and said bye to Trixie and made plans for a double date this weekend. It had been the perfect day and was excited to tell Twilight all about it. As soon as they step back home Sunset called out to Twilight but got no replied so she made her way up to her office. She opened her off door and was confused to find she wasn't there. "Maybe she stepped out for a bit." But there was pit in her stomach that telling her something was wrong, her gut told her to go further. So she entered further into her wife's office, her hands began to get sweaty. She looked behind the desk and much to Sunset horror she found Twilight laying face first on the floor. "TWILIGHT!" She rushed over and turned her over, she was pale and coughed up some blood. Sunsets eyes went wide in fear she quickly pulled out her phone and called for ambulance. "Its gonna be okay Twi. Baby its gonna be okay."
