Applejack has nothing to say at this moment. Here she is, watching Twilight glaring at Lapis, who was holding Sunset's hand and she was looking at Twilight in confusion with why she was so mad at her. The girls invited Sunset and Lapis for a hang out at Sugarcube Corner and people were looking at the gem in disgust and confusion to see why she looks like that. Sunset, of course, gave the strangers death glares and the people immediately regret being born. Sunset pulls Lapis close to her as she drinks her strawberry milkshake.
"I'm so glad you brought Lapis with you, Sunset. You two look absolutely divine," Rarity said and Sunset blushed a little.
"R-Really? I wanted to make Lapis feel comfortable with you guys so that she could see other humans than myself". Lapis shyly smiles and leans her head towards Sunset's shoulder which makes the girls, except Twilight and Rainbow Dash, fan girls in excitement.
"We should throw a slumber party tonight!" Pinkie shouted in happiness and everyone laughed because of how happy she was. Lapis smiled when Sunset was laughing with her friends.
"What do ya think, Lapis? Do ya wanna join us?" Applejack asked and everyone stared at her, this action made Lapis uncomfortable.
"Maybe some other time. I don't think Lapis is still comfortable with strangers other than myself, giving her time to adjust to this world will help me a lot". Sunset said while she rubs the gem's shoulder for comfort.
"We totally understand that". Fluttershy said while putting her hand on her lap.
"I'm going to order another milkshake. Do you want anything, Laz?" Lapis thought for a moment before shaking her head.
"I forgot that you don't eat or drink but I understand. I'll be right back". Sunset and Lapis pressed their foreheads together before the former unicorn left the table to order another drink.
Twilight took a seat next to Lapis and she was still glaring at the gem. The girls were nervous because of how Twilight was jealous because of Lapis being close to her crush. Lapis Lazuli sighed and crossed her arms to her chest because she was annoyed about Twilight.
"I'm busy now. Can I ignore you some other time?" Rainbow Dash laughed at how Lapis started getting savage and salty all of a sudden which made Applejack punch her side.
"What?! You're not even doing anything other than sitting your butt on the couch!" Twilight yelled and hope that Sunset didn't hear her.
"I was busy watching Sunset until you ruined it. I don't even know why are you being so mean and grumpy when I'm with Sunset". Dash didn't stop laughing at Lapis being salty, which made the people watch her dying from laughter.
"Are you insulting me?" Twilight angrily asked.
"No, I'm not insulting you, I'm describing you". Twilight and Lapis glared at each other angrily which adds a serious tension around the shop.
"Now girls, just calm down". Fluttershy nervously said that Pinkie wraps her arms around the shy girl because she was scared.
"I don't get what Sunset sees in you but I am not going to sit here and watch you being so fake around her". Twilight angrily said.
"I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce." Lapis smirked and sensed that Sunset was coming back. She quickly fixed her position and smiled when Sunset was getting close to their table. Twilight, on the other hand, went back to her seat and was nervous.
"Glad to see that you and Twilight are getting along pretty well". Sunset takes a seat next to Lapis and starts drinking her newly ordered milkshake.
"She seems interesting". Lapis looked at Twilight and gave her a smug smile that made the nerd angry.
"Well we better get going, we have school tomorrow". Pinkie said as everyone stood up from their seat and left the shop, except for Lapis and Sunset.
"They are really nice". Lapis said that made Sunset smile.
"I'm happy to know you're warming up to my best friends". Sunset throws her empty milkshake to the trash and looks at her Lazuli.
"Do you want to do something before going home?" Lapis thought for a moment and an imaginary light bulb appeared above her head.
"Well..."
Time flies by and it was four in the afternoon. Sunset Shimmer was smiling as she was holding Lapis Lazuli's hand while letting the gem lead her to wherever she wanted to go as long as if its safe. They were at the Canterlot forest outside of the city because Lapis wanted to see the outside world and Sunset is the perfect girl to show and teach the gem everything she knows about the world.
Thank Celestia, I told Lazuli that we can do whatever she wants. She had this face like when a kid was receiving a piece of candy for being good such a good child. I must protect her no matter. I am so glad I decided to wear my necklace.
Sunset Shimmer watch at Lapis was touching everything she sees interesting. It makes Sunset really happy to see that the gem was really curious about every surrounding that she stepped her feet into. Lapis would always turn to Sunset's direction and show all of the things that she wasn't familiar with with an innocent smile on her face. Lapis Lazuli always asked questions and Sunset was able to answer it with full honesty, even if the questions were stupid but to Sunset, it was just a question because the gem was curious.
"Sunset, look at what I found on a lily pad!" The former unicorn looks at the frog that Lapis was holding with a blank expression written all over the frog's face.
"It feels so... weird touching it but it's fascinating at the same time. No wonder why every human here likes living in this world, it's full of organic life!" Sunset smiles and watches as Lapis lets go of the frog.
"Organic life helps us to live properly. Without it, I don't think humans would even exist, nor is the other life forms that live here". Sunset said as she continues to follow her gem, who was skipping like a child.
"Well, I'm glad to know organic life can create a beautiful and amazing human such as yourself". The former student of Princess Celestia stopped on her tracks with a massive blush on her face when Lapis had said that. She looked at the gem to see she was gazing towards her direction with an innocent smile on her face.
Was that... a flirt or a compliment? I feel like I'm the luckiest unicorn in all over Equestria. Oh right, she still doesn't believe I'm not human.
Lapis Lazuli giggles cutely and hugs her savior before she could continue admiring the organic life that Earth had provided while the former unicorn was paralyzed, not in fear, but in shock. Lapis went back to her pony and carried her so that they could both enjoy their walk into the woods.
Time flies by and the sun was setting so that the moon could take over. Sunset and Lapis was still at the woods exploring. Sunset Shimmer thought it wouldn't hurt to explore more since she can tell that Lapis Lazuli seems to be enjoying and learning about the earth.
"Sunny?" Sunset stopped as Lapis pointed towards the direction of the waterfall.
They both looked around the surroundings and the moon was shining bright through the water. Fireflies were flying around them as well which made Lapis follow all of them. Sunset Shimmer sits down at the grass and continues to watch her Lazuli chasing the fireflies with a smile on her face.
"Be careful, Lapis!" Sunset shouted and Lapis gave her a thumbs up while chasing the fireflies around.
Sunset Shimmer stared at the water and debated herself whether she would take a quick swim or keep watching Lapis being her adorable self. She sighed and stood up so that she could take off her clothes, don't worry, she was wearing her swimsuit underneath her regular clothes.
"Oh my stars!"
Sunset gasped as she saw Lapis was about to fall on the water and the former unicorn stood up and quickly ran towards her gem so that she could catch her, but she tripped on a rock and accidentally pushed Lapis and the gem quickly grabbed hold of Sunset, sending both of them in the water.
Sunset and Lapis opened both of their eyes and realized that they were holding on to each other. Sunset's arms were around the gem's bare waist and Lapis's arms were around Sunset's neck. Their lips were three inches close and both of them took the time to admire each other, even if the water makes their vision blurry.
Unfortunately, Sunset started to drown due to her being a magical unicorn that has a body of a human teenager that needs to breathe in the air. She was struggling to go to the surface and Lapis immediately let's go of her savior and brings her to the surface. Lapis successfully got her savior to the surface and the former unicorn started to cough up water.
"A-Are you okay, Sunny?" Lapis asked and Sunset weakly nods her head while coughing up water. A few seconds later, Sunset cleared her throat which made Lapis sigh in relief because her savior was okay.
The former unicorn blushed to show her Lazuli looks attractive right now with wet hair. She was a sucker for that kind of girl in front of her.
"Oh my stars, you're turning red! Are you getting sick?" Lapis asked in a panic tone and Sunset clumsily waved her hand, indicating that there was nothing to worry about.
She's so pretty...
"Sunset you’re scaring me". Sunset snapped out of her thoughts to see a worried and scared gem and this almost made her feel bad for spacing out.
"I-I-I'm okay, Lapis. I was just... admiring you, that’s all". Sunset looks away with a blush on her face and Lapis looked at Sunset in confusion.
"Why would you waste your time admiring me? There's nothing about me that will be appealing to your human eyes". Lapis said with full honesty which made Sunset a bit upset because of what Lapis was saying to herself.
"Who wouldn't? You look really beautiful and the moonlight is reflecting towards you which adds up your sparkling beauty. I like that you are always positive to things you don't understand and I was happy that you are adjusting to earth. Oh Celestia, I'm rambling, aren't I? I annoyed you, huh." Sunset puts her hand to her forward, ashamed that she had blurted everything to the gem she slightly had feelings for. Lapis's mirror eyes winded and put both of her hands to Sunset's wet shoulder.
"Sunset, nothing in this organic planet will make you stop complimenting nice things about others. I feel really warm inside when you tell me that you see me as something that I didn't even see myself, that I'm beautiful. Please, don't stop being yourself".
The former unicorn gave Lapis Lazuli a sweet and happy smile before hugging her. The gem giggled and both of them started to float. Lapis watches in awe as Sunset's ears became pony ears and her hair started to grow longer til it reaches to her foot level, making it her tail. Their feet were touching the water like it was on the ground and their eyes were not leaving on each other's gaze. Both of them took a step back from each other and noticed that they were standing on the water.
"Whoa! I didn't know my magic can make me walk on water. This is so cool!" Sunset happily shouted while Lapis was confused to see why she could do this with her gem being cracked.
"I don't understand. My gem is cracked but I can still stand on water!" Lapis panicked and Sunset looks at her Lazuli.
"Calm down, Lapis. I think my magic bonded into your gem".
"Magic? But you're a human, you don't do magic... unless you’re a gem!" Lapis said that Sunset was being patient with the gem.
"I am not human, Lapis. I'm from another world. I know that you won't believe me at first but I am telling the truth. There's no need to rush for this new information." Lapis calms down and gives Sunset a small smile before she nods her head.
"Okay. I don't know that this will be possible". Sunset took a step forward and touched the gem's hands. The two of them began to gaze to each other's eyes and the moonlight shined above them.
"Neither did I. I still don't know how magic works in this world and I'm still learning. I know that we're both strangers to each other but let's face everything together". Sunset said with a soft tone in her voice that made Lapis have butterflies inside her stomach, even though she doesn't know what a butterfly is.
"Yeah, let's face everything". Both of their foreheads touched and fireflies surrounded them which added the romantic vibe in the forest. The forest animals were watching the whole time and they are enjoying the bond between the unicorn and the gem.
"Let's go home. It's getting late and I don't want my friends to worry since I left my phone". Sunset said that Lapis nods in approval.
"Okay".
Sunset and Lapis held hands as they got off the water so that they could go home. Sunset's pony ears and tail disappeared and she was back to what human form looks like. They started to walk back home and the former unicorn was trying her best not to get scared because their only light source was the woods.
