Principal Celestia couldn’t sleep. Her thoughts kept on going back to what Sunset told her when she asked that question and the responsed she got.
’Not now.’
Why doesn’t Sunset see the princess as a mother firgue now? What does she mean by that? Does she really hate the princess that much? She didn’t know what to think, she lay there awake in her bed, every passing hour. She could not sleep.
She finally got up from her bed looking at the clock and it read 3am. She had to get up in three hours for work. She sighed and made her way to the kitchen, maybe some tea will help.
She made her way to the living room and took a seat on the couch and she put on the tv. However she was still distracted and couldn’t focus on the screen. Why was this bugging her so much? She sipped on her tea, cradling the cup in her grip.
It was then something dawned on her, like a light bulb switch turning on. She thought back.
Who has been the most caring towards Sunset after the Formal? Who was the one that begged her not to expel Sunset? Who has been the one comforting during her nightmares? staying up with her during those late hours of the night and not getting any sleep herself and finally who has been the one being constantly worried about the young girl’s well-being.
Luna. it was Luna.
Could it be? Could Sunset think... no Celestia, you’re overthinking things! It’s only been a month. There’s no way Sunset would feel that close to Luna just yet. But...
It could be possible. The way Sunset needs Luna’s comfort, the way she looks to her for reassurance, whenever Sunset is upset she always went to Luna, even before the Formal. She wanted her, even demanded a few times just to speak to her and yet whatever Sunset felt angry about Luna always had a way of calming Sunset down.
It was a wondered to her, could Luna and Sunset be that close to each other? It was so easy for them to bond. Even the first day that Sunset moved into the apartment Luna had the girl playing video games. Even comforted her that same night during her first nightmare. What did Luna really think of Sunset? Celestia asked herself.
Celestia felt a bunch of emotions, it was no lie she did feel a little jealous that one of her students would prefer going to her sister first than her but then she also knew her sister needed this and this was changing her but not in a bad way but in a good way.
Under all the worry and tiredness Luna was going through Celestia could tell that Luna cared more for Sunset than just your average student.
A small smile crept on Celestia when she thought about her sister, she is handling everything so well. Even though the two were going through the hardest time right now, Luna handled everything naturally. It was good for her.
A month can change people and for Luna, Sunset has been a positive change for her.
Celestia could remember a few months back when Luna had a breakdown and went into depression as Luna remembered her anniversary with Chrysalis and it got her really down. Celestia was worried for her sister that she stayed over at the apartment for a few days just to make sure that she was okay. Luna had cried herself to sleep and Celestia held her for long hours of the night. Luna felt like she had nothing to live for after her break up with Chrysalis and every little thing reminded her of Chrys which would set Luna of in tears. Celestia was always there to comfort her.
But now, Chrysalis is back in Luna’s life and that was something Celestia was glad for. She knew her little sister was happy now than a few months ago and that’s all she needed as a big sister to know.
If she could talk to Luna, maybe just maybe she could get her to adopt Sunset or would it be too soon? But then again, life can be too short and if Luna truly cared for Sunset the way she did, which Celestia knew was true, Luna would be on board with the idea. Or should she talk to Chrysalis first and see what she thought of it?
Sunset went to bed after Celestia left around ten. She was tired from the hospital after spending the night before there and she was scared because she was away from Luna’s comfort. Sunset could sleep if she knew Luna was there to protect her, but that night she stayed awake incase another nightmare would occur and Luna wasn’t even there to comfort her.
She didn’t realise until now how much she relied on Luna being there. She didn’t realise how attached she has gotten to her over this past month. It was something about Luna’s presence made her feel warm and safe. She felt okay around her like Luna was her shield to protect her.
Even though Luna spent many nights holding Sunset and calming her down Sunset still felt bad. She knew the older woman must of been exhausted and just wanted to sleep in her own bed at night after a long day at work but Luna didn’t seem to mind. She didn’t mind hugging Sunset close to her when she sobbed into her chest. She didn’t mind when Sunset screamed out for her during the nights when she was sleeping in her own bedroom. She was just happy to comfort Sunset when she needed it and for that Sunset was grateful for.
She couldn’t remember the last time the Princess stayed up with her, maybe when she was a filly but that was so long ago and she only stayed up with her to make sure she was settled. Sunset was trying to remember when Princess Celestia actually comforted her when she was older.
It was very rarely Celestia went to check on Sunset in her chambers at night time, Celestia was always to tired after a full day of work and she would always go to bed before Sunset did anyway. She could remember the times when she tried to reach out to her for comfort but the Princess always had other stuff on her mind.
Sunset very rarely went home for the holidays after she got older she refused to go. She didn’t want to spend time with her father, he would end up getting aggressive towards her and start hitting her. So she would make up lies to Celestia to tell her why she couldn’t spend the holidays at home. Celestia believed her everytime and not once did she question her about it or why Sunset would be too upset to leave the castle.
Thinking back she started to wonder if the princess ever did care about her or was she just some tool she could play about with.
Luna opened the door to check on Sunset and she noticed that she was crying and curled up into a ball. Luna rushed over.
“Sunset?” She asked worriedly. “What’s wrong?”
Sunset turned around and sniffed. “Just thinking.”
“What are you thinking about that’s getting you so upset?” She asked again in a soft tone.
Sunset paused for a moment. Should she tell Luna?
Sunset sat up and wiped her eyes. “It’s just... I don’t know.”
“Come on, move over and let me in.” Luna said getting into the bed and wrapping an arm around the upset teen.
“You wanna talk about it?” She asked softly. Not putting pressure on the teen to speak about something she didn’t want too.
Sunset sighed sadly. “I guess I just realised things when me and Celestia spoke tonight. She asked me a question that I thought I would never be able to admit.”
“What did she ask you if you don’t mind me asking?” Luna asked curiously.
“She asked if I ever saw the Princess as a mother firgue.” Sunset told her. Looking away from Luna not wanting to see her reaction.
Luna’s face fell. She did have an idea that Sunset would think that of the Princess from the way she described her relationship with her when she younger. It was no lie for Luna on what she was feeling in that moment. She felt a little jealous. Even though she’s only looked after Sunset for a short period of time she could only hope that Sunset would look to her that same way. Pushing her feelings to the side, she finally spoke up again.
“Oh.” Luna said quietly. “Did you?” Luna asked, unsure of what to say, dreading the next answer even though she knew what Sunset was going to say.
Luna couldn’t bare the thought to think that Sunset might of felt closer to someone more than she did with her.
“When I was younger, yes. I thought we were close. She was so caring, kind, loving. Everything you would expect a mother to be.” Sunset said with sadness.
“But then, after she kicked me out. I lost all hope, maybe I didn’t deserves a mother love afterall. It just felt exactly the same as when my mother left me with my father. How could someone act like they cared for someone but then just chuck them to the side when they mess up? That’s when I realised I didn’t want a mother like the Princess. She made me feel so loved, so special and important to her and that’s why I did everything for her and worked twice as hard just so I could feel worthy of her love and then suddenly I went days without seeing her, she had to cancel my lessons sometimes because of her busy schedule.” Sunset said, letting a few tears slide.
Luna tightened her grip around her. She understood where Sunset was coming from, she did the same to earn her parents love and it was sad in all honestly to have to do something like that just to feel loved. She wanted to scream from the top of her lungs for the poor girl and tell her that she was loved, unconditionally.
“Oh, Sunset.” Luna spoke, “Love shouldn’t be earned. That’s not how it works. That’s toxic to do that to yourself. She should of loved you for simply being who you are, nothing should of be put on top of that to truly make you feel loved.”
That then got Sunset and she started to cry into Luna’s shoulder, Luna placed her hand on Sunset’s head and started to stroke her hair.
Luna decided, she couldn’t take anymore of Sunset’s heart breaking it was causing hers to break too. She wanted Sunset to know that she was loved, by her.
“Sunset.” Luna swallowed nervously, trying to get herself ready for the next part of what she was going to say.
“I want you know you are loved here. I love you, unconditionally and not just as someone who’s a student, but someone close to my heart.” Luna said emotionally.
Making Sunset look up to her with big eyes confused at what she was saying.
“W-What do you mean?” Sunset asked, eyebrow raised a little.
Luna chuckled. “Well isn’t it a little obvious? I mean, you do notice how different I treat you from other students right?”
Sunset stared at Luna. “Kinda I guess, it was mostly the girls that pointed it out to me, I never really thought anything of it.”
“Sunset, I’m not just saying this but even before I took you in, I did care about you; sometimes I lied awake at night wondering what I could possibly to do to reach out to you. I should of noticed how much you needed someone there for you and after your fall, I feel like I failed you in some way because you couldn’t talk to me.”
Sunset sat up and crossed her legs in a basket and shook her head. “No Luna. You didn’t fail me. That was on me. If only I reached out to you before then instead of pushing you away, maybe things would of been different. But I had a goal in mind and I was too determined to even let anyone get close to me.”
Luna looked at Sunset with nothing but sadness in her eyes. “The one thing regret is that I wished I stepped in more. I remember in my first year when I started working at the school, you were the only student that gave me the time of day and never feared me when they saw me. That’s something I actually liked about you. I just wished I saw the pain you were feeling and then I could of done something.” She said with guilt.
“Yeah, but I was good at hiding it, so you wouldn’t of known.” Sunset admitted. “Plus, you’re doing a lot for me now which you don’t even need to do.”
Luna smiled. “Yeah but I want too. That’s how love works. You do everything you can to show the person you care about that they are loved and I’ll make sure you will know that, I’ll tell you everyday. It just makes me glad that I am able to help you now and see you grow up to become an incredible young woman who I am proud to say that; I love you as if you were my own daughter.”
Sunset’s heart raced, she couldn’t believe that Luna would ever think of her that way. After all she done aswell but yet Luna never held that against her, she just wanted her to feel loved and for that she loved Luna.
“I love you, too.” Sunset whispered quickly. Hugging Luna desperately while the pair cried happy tears. A new bond was growing.
It was the next day after Luna and Sunset’s little talk, Sunset had never felt happier that she finally felt loved by someone and Sunset loved Luna like the mother she’d always wanted, even though she was terrified to admit that to her.
Luna went to work that day to organised meetings with Glida and Trixie’s parents, she wanted them to come in on Monday morning to discuss what happened and maybe bring Sunset in if she isn’t in too much pain.
Luna got Chrysalis to come over to the apartment to keep an eye on Sunset, after all Chrysalis was working from home anyway and didn’t mind to spend a little time with Sunset. She was happy to be in the young girl’s company.
After Luna got home from work the three of them had dinner, once they ate, it was just Chrysalis and Luna left in the kitchen after Sunset went to her room to give the two some time to themselves. Sunset was working up a plan to get them back together again.
Luna was doing the dishes after Sunset left and went for a shower, the two older women were having a carry on in the kitchen, Chrysalis smacking Luna on the bum with a tea towel making the younger of the pair give out a yelp as she stood scrubbing a few plates earning a chuckled from Chrysalis who continued to dry the dishes off.
Luna smirked at her as she finished up the last plate and eyed Chrysalis up who looked at her nervously, then all of a sudden Luna chucked some of the water onto Chrysalis and soaked her face, making Luna laugh as Chrysalis gave her an evil stare she went over behind Luna and picked her up, making Luna wrestle against her.
“Put me down Chrys!” She said playfully while laughing. Swinging her limps about in the air like a child.
“You’re going to pay for that!” Chrysalis said sitting Luna up on the counter, tickling her gently.
“Oh yeah? What you gonna do?” She asked cheekily.
“This.” Chrysalis said pulling Luna in for a kiss.
Luna pulled back and smiled. “Shame, I actually liked that I thought you were going to do way worse.” She rolled her eyes playfully.
“You’ll know when I’ll do my worst. I’ll destroy you.” Said Chrysalis while she was stood in front of Luna.
“Yeah yeah, in your dreams Chrysi.” Luna waved off, still laughing at her.
Luna then looked at Chrysalis after the two stopped their carry on, she spoke in a more serious tone.
“Chrys? Can I ask you for a favour?” Luna asked, still sitting on the counter.
“Anything for you LuLu.” Chrysalis said, wrapping her arms around her, grinning at her.
“Chrysalis! I’m being serious!”
“Right right. Go ahead.” Said chrysalis who smirked at her.
“H-How long would it take for you to write up adoption papers?” She spoke quietly in a whisper voice for only her and Chrysalis to hear.
Chrysalis put her hand on her chin. “If you want it done right; a few weeks? Maybe more? Why? Waaaait, holy shit! you’re thinking of adopting Sunset aren’t you?” Chrysalis squealed.
“Shh, not so loud.” Placing a finger over Chrysalis mouth.
Luna spoke up again nervously. “So you’re saying a few weeks right? That would be around christmas time? You think she would be happy with, you know.”
“Being adopted?” Chrysalis questioned.
“Me becoming her mother.” Luna whispered again this time a bit more shyly.
“Luna, you’re already that girl’s mother in so many ways where it counts. Of course she will be more than happy that someone would go this length to become her mother. You’ll make an amazing mom Lu. You already are.” Chrysalis said grabbing Luna’s hands.
Luna smiled and played with Chrysalis hands in her grip. “It’s funny, I never had once thought about becoming a mother or even wanting any children. I never thought I would of been a good enough role model for a child or that I was cut out to look after a kid. But after taking in Sunset and seeing all what she’s going through I can’t help it, she’s so much like me in all honestly which I don’t know is a good thing or a bad thing. I just want to give her a better life that’s all. She deserves to be loved.”
“You are Luna. That girl is so much more happier than when she first came to stay here. You have been a perfect fit towards Sunset and she has grown so much because of you. You’re doing a great job already and I’m proud of you. I will be more than happy to write these papers up.”
“Thank you Chrys. Can I just ask one more thing please?” She looked up to Chrysalis with pleading eyes.
Chrysalis nodded. Letting Luna continue.
“Say; if anything happens to me, if I get into a bad accident or something. Can you be the one that looks after her if I’m gone? Could you promise me that you would take care for her but still remind her that I love her even though I might not be around?”
“Luna you don’t even need to ask me that. Of course I would do that for you. That goes without saying. I care about Sunset Just as much as you do; so yes I promise you I will look after her.”
Luna smiled and then pulled Chrysalis in for another kiss.
After Sunset had a shower and got dressed for bed she was sitting in her room, the group chat was in motion all the girls were checking up on Sunset to see if she was okay as she wasn’t at school.
They were all on FaceTime to each other. The girls were filling Sunset in on what happened in Sugarcube Corner the day before as she heard that Luna caused quite the scene. Pinkie was filling Sunset in.
“Sooooo, Vice Principal Luna stormed up and oh lemme tell you, she was angry like reallllly angry. She looked like so was about to exploded. I mean, I even tried to talk to her but she was not having any of it. She looked like she wanted to punch both Gilda and Trixie in the throat there and then.” Pinkie Pie said. Earning a sigh from Sunset.
“She really went ham on them. She was brutal.” Rainbow put in.
“Kinda wished I was there.” Sunset laughed.
“Dude! You wouldn’t even of liked to of seen that side of her. I’ve never seen her more pissed!” Said Rainbow.
“W-What did she say?” Sunset asked nervously.
“Oh! She was all like you could of killed her and they were like were so sorry VP Luna we didn’t mean it and she was like you’re sorry?!?! and they kept begging her but she wasn’t putting up with any of it. Then she was like I’m bringing your parents and we’re going to discuss pressing charges and we all gasp we couldn’t believe it and oh boy lemme tell you she was serious!” Pinkie Pie said a she trailed off, trying her best to act out the scene.
Sunset was finding it hard to follow her. “Pinkie! Wait! Go back, Luna wants to do what now?” She asked.
“Press charges, she wants to press charges for what Gilda and Trixie did to you.” Pinkie told her but the look on Sunset’s told Pinkie that she had no idea about this plan.
“She’s doing WHAT?!?” Sunset roared at the top of her lungs. She got from her bed and opened her door.
”LUNA!!!!!!!!!”
All the girls covered their ears as they could hear Sunset practically scream through the phone.
“Geez, Seriously Sunset do ya need to be that loud.” Applejack winced through the phone as Luna walked through the door.
Luna stood at the door and Sunset looked at her giving her a look that she knew too well that Sunset was mad. She came to know that look when Sunset was still the school bully and stormed to her office demanding to speak to her. Luna looked at her curiously.
“Is it true?” Sunset asked, breathily heavily.
“What’s true?” Luna question, folding her arms.
“You pressing charges against Gilda and Trixie. The girls just told me.” Sunset said while holding up her phone showing them on the screen.
Luna looked at them nervously and turned back to Sunset. She sighed.
“Yes, it’s true.” She nodded slowly.
“Girls I gotta go.” Sunset said under her breath hanging up the FaceTime.
“Can I ask why?” She asked while sitting up on the bed, Luna walked closer and sat down.
“You’re seriously questioning why I’m pressing charges against them?” Luna asked completely baffled.
“Why are you doing this and why didn’t you think to tell me?!?” She asked again.
“I was going too. Sunset you need to understand I could of lost you...” Luna whispered looking sadly at the floor. “I don’t want that to happen again.” She shook her head sadly.
Sunset sighed. “Yeah, but I don’t want you to press charges against them. You do realise that they can hold things against me too?”
“Like what Sunset? The fact you were the school bully a few months ago. You might of done stuff just as bad as them, but what they did to you was way worse. What they did to you was assault and they should be punished for their crimes.”
It was then another voice spoke. “Luna is right, you know.” Chrysalis said as she stood at the door.
“You know about pressing charges too?” Sunset asked looking over to Chrysalis.
Chrysalis nodded. “Yes and before you go and say; ‘If their getting punished i deserve to be punished for my crimes too.’ You have been punished, Luna gave you detention for the rest of the semester and makes you work on the front of the school when you can, but your other punishment was being blasted by the elements and for that, you’re punishment was way harsher than what we’re wanting Glida and Trixie punished for.”
Sunset just looked at her questionly while Chrysalis continued to speak.
“Sunset, I think you need to understand that being assaulted should be taking seriously and not only you were assaulted by one person you were assaulted by five. So don’t go saying me and Luna are overreacting to this situation. We don’t want to see you get hurt again, we’re putting a stop to it.”
“B-But, can’t you do something instead of pressing charges against them? Can’t we all just discuss what’s best for me and for Gilda and Trixie? Who’s to say that this is going to be put to a stop anyway?” Sunset begged as walked over to Chrysalis.
It was then Luna spoke up again, she wanted the argument to end. “Look Sunset. My decision on this is final. I am not just going to stand by and let someone that I care about get hurt. I want you to go to school get an education and do well. I don’t want to be sitting in my office all day worrying if you’re going to be lying out the front out cold again!” She said with a little crack in her voice.
“Luna! this isn’t what I wanted! I didn’t ask for this! And I want nothing to do with it or the both of you right now!” Sunset yelled as she made her way to her bed and sat herself back down again.
Luna gulped hard. The fact that Sunset wanted nothing to do with her did hurt and she knew that she didn’t mean it because she was angry but she couldn’t help but feel a little upset that Sunset wouldn’t listen to her. Even Chrysalis looked a little hurt by it.
Luna spoke up. “Fine, be like that then but Sunset, you’ll soon realise why i have decided to do this and you’ll know I’m right. Once you’ve had your little tantrum then maybe we can talk about it.” Luna said as she left the room, still feeling a little sad. She didn’t want to leave Sunset on a bad note but the girl had to learn she couldn’t just go of on one when things didn’t go her way.
Chrysalis was left in the room with Sunset and she could tell Sunset looked upset by their argument. Chrysalis walked over to her and placed herself down on the bed. Sunset looked away from her out of stubbornness.
“Sunset, look at me.” Chrysalis said. Sunset turned her head towards her and her eyes were filled up with tears. Chrysalis spoke. “We aren’t doing this for badness you know. Do you remember when you told me that you were scared of losing Luna?”
Sunset nodded.
“She feels the same way about you. So please, don’t be mad at her. She’s trying to do everything she can to protect you so she won’t lose you. Just think about it okay? Then we can talk.”
Sunset let a few tears slide. “I just need some time alone.”
Chrysalis looked at her concern but didn’t press on her. “Remember I’m here. Text me whenever.”
Sunset nodded and Chrysalis pulled her in for a soft hug and said a quick goodnight to her, she didn’t want to leave the young girl upset but she knew that Sunset just wanted to think. After Sunset layed down Chrysalis left the room and went to the living room to spend some time with Luna and make sure she was okay before she went home for the night.
It was the next day after Sunset found out that Luna was pressing charges against Gilda and Trixie, Sunset didn’t know how to feel. She felt pissed about it but on the other hand she knew should understand where Luna was coming from too, but being the stubborn and petty teenager that she was she wasn’t happy with Luna’s decision and the way Luna didn’t even think to talk to her about it first.
It was about 11am on a Saturday morning and Sunset just woken up. She got out of bed groggily and made her way to the kitchen to find that Luna was already up and that she had company with her. She recognised it as Principal Celestia voice. Luna was filling her sister in about the adoption plans but keeping it on the down low until Chrysalis wrote up the papers, she wanted to surprise Sunset with them. Celestia was thrilled for her sister that she was making this change even though Sunset still had a lot of issues with Celestia she was still happy for two of them.
Once Sunset got into the kitchen the conversation stop and she shuffled her way around awkwardly, letting out a tired yawn. She made her way over to the cupboard to grab some cereal. Not talking to Luna it seems, giving her the silent treatment.
Luna and Celestia were sat at the table watching Sunset move around the kitchen she poured herself some cereal and grabbed some orange juice from the fridge. Celestia noticed the awkward slience in the room as she glanced over to Luna who was sipping on her coffee keeping her focus on the table as Sunset moved around.
Celestia decided to speak up, this was the very first time that she felt an unease atmosphere in the presence of Luna and Sunset. The two were always in conversation discussing some tv show they were currently watching, or a new video game that’s been released but this morning no conversations were being held other than Sunset shoting dagers at Luna while she ate her cereal at the table.
“How are you today Sunset? Did you sleep well?” Celestia asked pleasantly.
“Just fine.” She grumbled while taking a sip of her juice, she finished it and went to get more from the fridge. There was only a little spot left.
“Shot. None left.” Sunset mumbled.
Sunset turned to Luna and held the bottle of orange juice up, grabbing Luna’s attention.
“Orange juice is out. You might want to start pressing charges against that too.” She said with coldness in her voice.
Luna tightened her grip around her coffee mug and sighed, while Celestia’s eyes widened.
“You told her?” Celestia asked.
Before Luna could speak, Sunset butted in. “Actually she didn’t even bother to tell me; I found out from the girls. I was the last one it seems.” Said Sunset who glanced over to Luna. Scoffing at her.
“I told you last night I was going to tell you.” Luna said pinching the bridge of her nose as she felt a headache coming on.
Sunset just glared at her. “When? When we had a court date?” She said bluntly.
Luna stood up from her seat at the table and looked at her sternly. “Do you know what? I’m not putting up with this attitude. I didn’t put up with it as your Vice Principal and now as your guardian I’m sure as hell not putting up with it. Go to your room and I’ll deal with you later when your attitude is better.” Said Luna demandly, pointing her finger to the door.
Sunset chose to ignore her and stared her down. “Wanna put a charge on that too?” She said with a hint of sass.
“Room. NOW.” Luna said as she raised her voice in her authority tone.
Sunset grunted, mumbling stuff to herself on the way out. Making her way to her room she slammed the door shut making sure Luna could hear it.
Luna groaned and walked over to the coffee machine to make herself another cup. “Want another?” Luna asked in a calm tone like nothing has just happened.
Celestia looked at her sister and spoke. “Y-yes please.” She nodded. She couldn’t quite believe what just happened. Although she did know her sister could be demanding when she wanted an ordered in place but she never seen her that strict before and it was the fact that Sunset even had the gut to stand up to her sister like that in the first place.
Luna passed Celestia a coffee, Celestia wasn’t as big as a coffee drinker than Luna was but she did enjoy the occasion cup and she liked the way Luna made them. As Luna took her seat again, she sighed and sipped on her coffee, breathing the hot drink in gave her a calming effect. Celestia watched her sister, confused at how calm Luna seemed to be right now but inside she probably felt a bundle of rage. Celestia looked at her sister and laughed.
“She’s got Chrysalis’s bluntness and a bit of your stubbornness.” Celestia chuckled.
Luna smirked over her cup of coffee. “Too much, it seems. That’s the most she’s spoke to me since last night.”
“She’s that mad at you?” Celestia asked. She seemed surprised at that.
Luna shrugged. “Let her be. She’ll come to her senses soon enough.”
Celestia rolled her eyes. and here comes the stubborness. Celestia thought to herself.
It was just going on till about dinner time and Sunset spend all day in her room playing video games it was something to take her anger out on.
Celestia had gone ages ago, she came into the room to say a quick bye to her as she left. Luna hadn’t even bothered with her for hours, didn’t even check up on her. She couldn’t blame Luna for that though, her attitude towards her was horrible. She tried her best to focus on the game but she kept losing as her mind drifted off.
She couldn’t help but feel bad for losing her cool with Luna and even though what Luna admitted to Sunset the other night Sunset still found it hard to believe someone did care for her as much as Luna cared for her.
She kept glancing at her door then back to the game. She done that a few times before sighing, she knew she had to say sorry to Luna. She saved the game and opened her door. Taking her time walking to the living room to build up the courage to apologise.
She noticed that Luna was on her phone lying back on the sofa, tv on the background. Must be texting Chrysalis. as she noticed that Luna had a big smile on her face and laughing at her phone.
Sunset went over to the sofa and stood at the end, grinning at Luna. “How’s flirting with Chrysalis going?” She asked.
Luna jumped at the sudden voice, losing her grip on her phone. She sat up. “Hey. She sent me a funny video, watch this.”
Luna showed Sunset the video as Sunset took a seat. It was some gamer video that the three of them would only find funny. The two of them shared a laugh together but as the video finished the two of them looked at each other sadly.
“I’m sorry.” Sunset said quietly. “My attitude was out of order.”
“I’m sorry too. I should of been the one to tell you about pressing charges, you shouldn’t of found out from your friends like that.”
“I shouldn’t of reacted the way that I did. I know you are only trying to protect me.” Sunset spoke up while looking at Luna.
“You have to understand Sunset. It’s part of my role as your guardian to protect you. I just don’t want to lose you.”
Sunset nodded. “I know and I’m sorry.”
“Friends?” Luna asked.
“Friends.” Sunset said while bumping her shoulder. Making Luna do the same back, she pulled the girl in for a hug and the two of them layed back watched a movie and ordered pizza. The pair spent the rest of the night like that. Luna realised that going without that length of time not talking to Sunset, she missed her and she was glad that she was going to adopt Sunset as her daughter she just hoped that Sunset could only want the same.
