Luna and Sunset left as soon as Luna filed the last of her paperwork and shut down her computer. Sunset grabbed her bag and Luna grabbed her purse and took the keys out tossing them to Sunset.
Sunset took the keys with a big smile. Then she had to ask Luna the big question.
“Luna, do you think I’m ready to take the driving test yet? I want to be like Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy and be able to drive as well. It will help out on dates.” Sunset asked and stated at the same time.
“Well, who are you taking on a date, young lady? Which T is it, Trixie or Twilight?’ Luna asked back.
“I don’t know but we can discuss it over Ice Cream.” Sunset replied.
“Ice Cream?” Asked Luna.
“I always had a fantasy of me and my mom sharing a bowl of Ice Cream. I would like to do that and discuss this a little further. Maybe even more in depth at dinner tonight with you and Aunt Celestia.” Sunset replied.
“Well Ice cream will spoil your dinner, and this is a discussion best not held in public. This Saturday you and I will go out and while we are out, we will have your ice cream dish. Deal?” Asked Luna.
“Yes mom.” Sunset replied.
“You know Sunset, sometimes when you say that I still cannot believe it’s real and not a dream.” Luna replied beaming.
Sunset couldn’t help but go over and hug Luna. Sometimes it seemed like a dream to Sunset too. Most teens didn’t want to spend time with or have anyone to meet their parents. Sunset loved spending time with Luna and had no problem showing her affection.
After a long hug, Sunset and Luna finally broke apart. Heading out of the school, Luna stopped at the detention room and went in to talk to Ms. Cheerilee for a minute.
The Crusaders who were serving their six-month long detention just looked up. Sunset stood in the doorway and looked over at them. Apple Bloom gave her a small smile, Sunset returned the smile with a nod as her way of saying hi.
After leaving the detention room. Luna told Sunset why not set it up with Crankee Doodle to do the drivers course as he was also an official tester. She knew Sunset would most likely fail the first time. About 95% of the kids failed their first time.
As they left the school, Sunset spoke up. “You know mom to me it seems like a dream sometimes too. There were many nights in the homeless shelter, or in the treehouse that I would fantasize and/or dream I had a family. So, I know how you feel.”
“Honey I never thought I would have a family other than Celestia and now I have you. Also, thanks to you Chrysalis and I are as close as sisters now I have you to thank for it all.” Luna replied.
“Let’s not forget Apple Cinnamon.” Sunset said with disdain.
“Spend time with him, he might change your mind.” Luna said following Sunset out of the school. After all, Sunset was going to drive home.
“Fine, I'll spend time with him. I’m not going to enjoy myself, but I will spend time with him.” Sunset said getting in the car.
“Hahaha that's a defeatist attitude. You said the same thing about your Aunt Celestia and look at what a great time that you guys had. You better after I smeared her silver sports car with mud.” Luna said absentmindedly.
“You did that to Aunt Celestia’s car?” Sunset asked incredulously.
“I thought you two would wash it together. Get you guys' bonding.” Luna said.
“No, we went through a car wash. It scared the crap outta me.” Sunset said starting the car up.
“Sorry I forgot that car washes are not a thing in horse land or what do you call it again? I can never remember it.” Luna stated
“Equestria mom, and no cars are not a thing there. Therefore, we don’t need car washes.” Sunset replied.
“Don’t get smart young lady.” Luna warned. Shortly after that they pulled into the semi-circle driveway and got out. Luna could definitely see Sunset’s driving had improved. When Sunset first started driving Luna wanted to have last rights before getting in the car with the girl. Sunset however did agreed to spend time with her boyfriend. It was a good day.

Trixie was on cloud nine walking home. Sunset wouldn’t have kissed her if she was interested. She wanted to shout it to the world. However, she didn’t know how to tell her mom.
Her mom wasn’t supportive of her wanting to be a magician. Trixie agreed she wasn’t David Copperfield or Penn & Teller, but she had learned quite a few tricks. She knew many coin, and card tricks and a few other tricks. But her mom always cut that dream down.
Her mom kept saying she needed to find a boyfriend. She never said girlfriend. Trixie was going to need to tell her mom somehow that she was a lesbian just not sure how to do it.
Walking into the house Trixie was smiling thinking about her and Sunset locked in each other's embrace, their lips pressed against each other. Maybe they would have time together at Camp Everfree or best-case scenario share a tent or cabin or whatever they used at the camp. Trixie had never been there, so she didn’t know.
“Trixie is that you?” Her mom called as Trixie entered the house.
“Yes, mom it is I, Trixie.” She replied.
“Yes or no will do, you don’t need to do the theatrics with me. How was school sweetie?” Her mom replied, smiling.
Trixie walked into the kitchen and sat down on the other stool next to her mom.
“It was ok. Mom, I need to talk to you about something. I don't know exactly how to tell you. This and I don’t know how you will react to it,” Trixie began.
“Trixie what is it? Are you in some kind of trouble? You’re not pregnant, are you?” Her mom asked.
“No, I’m not pregnant, but in a way, it has to deal with sex.” Trixie replied.
“Ok I’m not following unless you contracted an STD or something.” Her mom stated.
“No mom it’s nothing like that. I am gay, you know a lesbian.” Trixie decided to just blurt it out.
Her mom’s eyes got really wide and then…

Twilight was walking home as she needed to sort stuff out in her head. She thought maybe Sunset overreacted but she wasn’t there for Anon-a-miss So she had no idea what Sunset went through. She knew her brother could tell her some of the stuff that went down but she had to talk to Sunset’s friends.
Still, she didn’t want to jeopardize her friendship with Sunset after all, that's all it was ever going to be. The fact also depressed Twilight immensely. Well hopefully she could meet someone, if Sunset wasn’t into her.
Twilight felt how warm it was, the mornings were cold, but the afternoons were getting hotter. Spring was definitely in full bloom, and she looked forward to the summer that was quickly approaching. After Camp Everfree the mall was having a job fair, she hoped to get a part-time job at the mall.
It was nice of the Canterlot Mall to wait until the juniors returned from Camp Everfree. Most shop owners knew about the tradition. Some had gone to CHS themselves, so after Everfree the job fair was on she was going to go with her friends and see what happened.
While Twilight’s mind was wandering, she didn’t realize what was about to happen.
The Dazzlings spotted her in their van and there was no one else in sight. Twilight was suddenly grabbed and had her mouth covered and was drug in the van and they took off.
In the van Twilight was shoved hard on the ground and looked up at Adagio and Sonata. Aria was driving the van and hit the gas as soon as they had her.
“Look if you guys got problems with Sunset, it’s not my doing.” Twilight pleaded.
“It is you that has problems, with our employer.” Adagio said.
“You know she could mark the way to our hideout.” Aria said.
Twilight was wrestled to the ground and had her hands tied and had a bandana tied around her eyes. After a few kicks to make her shut up they arrived at the house. It was a desolate community with a few houses out there.
Dragging her out of the van she was taken into a kitchen room and shoved into a chair.
Removing the bandana, Adagio and Aria stood in front of Twilight.
“Our Boss wants a word with you.” She spoke.
Both of them stepped aside and into the room walked Abacus Cinch. Twilight’s eyes got really wide, and she left out a startled scream. But no one heard her with the windows shut and being in a back room.
Cinch looked down at her and said, “Calm down Twilight, now is not the time for fear that comes later.”
