Sunset had a Break

Chapter Four: Oh How the Controller Crumbles

After some mental preparation, and some meditation; Sunset Shimmer is ready to beat the game in its entirety.

“S-sunset?” Fluttershy asked in slight nervousness.

Sunset looked towards her friend and asked, “what’s up?”

Fluttershy shuffles in her seat on the couch for a bit while sitting next to Sunset, and asks; “ar-are you sure that you can handle this? Y-you have been known to get quite r-ragey.. at best… .”

Sunset just looked at her with a blank expression, pets Fluttershy’s head, and then replies; “oh don’t worry… . It’ll be fine; I promise. And if not, then I’ll probably give ya a warning before then, okay?”

Fluttershy then nodded, and replied back; “like what?” before sinking down into her seat so that way she can expect Sunset to rage anytime soon.

Sunset blushes; already knowing the answer to that question, and says; “you’ll see…” before grabbing the controller, and pressing the resume button. “Alright,” Sunset says before looking determined. “Here we go… .”


After so many losses and trials later… .

“What the hell?!” Sunset said in a fit of rage. “How in the actual f did I just lose to a stinking game?!”

Rainbow Dash got up from the couch, and said; “I would make a snarky remark towards you… . But I’m sensing that you’ll beat the stuffing out of me if I did… huh… ?” Sunset Shimmer replied with a nod, and then just full on jumped and threw the controller on the ground; shattering it to pieces. It wasn’t directed at anyone, so that’s good. However, what isn’t good is that Fluttershy is seeing her worst fear… ; Sunset Shimmer in her rage state over losing to a video game. And with that, she began to whimper, and starts crying. Hearing this, Sunset Shimmer turned to look at the crying shy girl, and then began to tense less and less… .

Eventually, Sunset sighed, and then asks; “you okay Fluttershy? I’m not angry anymore… . And… you can have some more cookies from the tray if you want. We’ve saved a few for you. Is that okay?”

Fluttershy nodded, but then shook her head no and replied; “b-but… that was my controller that you smashed… not yours… .” She then began to cry some more. Sunset, realizing what she just did, looked at the shattered pieces in the floor, and realized that Flutters was right. It was her controller; as there are some pieces of joystick that had Fluttershy’s butterflies on there.

Realizing her mistake, Sunset felt bad, knelt to the ground, and then gave out a pleading gesture before saying; “I’m so sorry Fluttershy. I didn’t know… . I-I think I must’ve grabbed the wrong controller by mistake… a-and… .”

But before she could finish her sentence and or apology, Fluttershy hugged Sunset in record time, and then says with tears in her eyes; “I just need some comfort right now… . I don’t care about the controller anymore! I’m just as mad as you are too because of that game!”

This caused Sunset to look at her with wide eyes, and asked; “wait… . You hated that game too?! Well then why didn’t you tell me?!”

Fluttershy then replied; “because I wanted to see you happy! You’re my friend, and I always wanted to see others happy too! Even Pinkie Pie!” Pinkie Pie made a daww gesture, and then smiled at Fluttershy’s comment to her.

Sunset Shimmer sighed again; trying to keep her cool, and then says; “well that’s good… . But hey; if you don’t like the game, then that’s okay… . We could’ve played another game if you didn’t like the one that I was playing, you know?”

Fluttershy shook her head no again, and then says; “I wanted to play this one too… . But since I personally played the game before as well… then I don’t know if I wanna play the new one with you… .”

Sunset sighs once more, puts a hand to Fluttershy’s shoulder, and then says; “look; how about we go back upstairs, make some more cookies, and then watch a movie. The game console can do that, and we still have an extra controller… . What do you say?”

Fluttershy ponders this for a bit, before looking to Sunset, and replying back; “okay…” before raising her arms, and asking; “but… can you carry me? Please… ? I’m still not feeling well from crying… you know?”

Sunset sighs; since she doesn’t wanna have to carry someone that’s a little older than her… but eventually gave in, and said; “okay… just this once, alright?” Fluttershy nodded and hugged her. “Great…” Sunset trailed off. “Just great… .”

With that, Sunset picked up, and started to carry Fluttershy. But not before Pinkie Pie hugged, and climbed onto Sunset’s back before saying; “me too! Me too!”

Sunset, already feeling like that she carrying enough weight, struggles to get up the stairs, and then collapses. With that in mind, Pinkie and Flutters laughed, both began to take one of Sunset’s arms, and then they both got up to carry Sunset up the stairs with them. Cuz hey; it’s the least they can do for having Sunset attempting to carry both of them… .

And so; with the girls upstairs, they all decided to make some more cookies.

The end… for now.
