Sunset Shimmer groaned, a hand going to her lower back in an effort to ease the pain she felt there. The effort was largely wasted, but it at least made her feel as though she was accomplishing something of note. Shuffling into the kitchen, and past her similarly winded companions, Sunset dug around for the aspirin.
“Here,” Twilight whispered, extending a hand.
Sunset Shimmer narrowed her gaze in order to see the tiny white tablets offered to her by her closest friend. Swallowing them without the need for water, Sunset Shimmer grabbed the leftover pizza box from the fridge and then a plate. Piling high the day-old slices, she was about to put the remainder back when Twilight intercepted her and took the rest for herself.
Together they sat straight down on the cold floor of the kitchen, chewing silently on their much-needed meal. The rest of their friends came and went, either grabbing their own food, pain relief, or hot water bottle. Some were clutching small wounds, others holding the remnants of their clothes together. Only Fluttershy didn't have any obvious sign of damage, but the girl did have her eyes shut tightly and was being guided around by Rarity. The pair retrieved a jug of water, and a bottle of wine, and made their way back to their room while ordering sushi.
Sunset barely acknowledged them, just sitting there quietly, waiting for the meds to do something about her migraine. A sentiment Twilight shared with the girl who sat next to her, shoveling pepperoni pizza into her face. When their food was gone, they retrieved their soda of choice from the fridge and plunked right back down where they started.
They clinked their bottles together and took a sip, relishing the cool sensation traveling down their throats. It was only when they had savored the last refreshing drop did some relief from their troubles begin to manifest itself. It wasn't much at first, just a slow alleviation of the tension that had gathered in their bodies but it was something.
“I think… I think I can feel my fingers again,” Sunset Shimmer remarked.
“And hearing your voice doesn't make me want to staple your mouth shut,” Twilight added.
Sunset Shimmer chuckled dryly, only to stop abruptly and clutch her chest. “Oh, laughing hurts.”
“Pinkie Pie is gonna be real disappointed,” Twilight pointed out.
“I don't think she’ll mind. Last I checked she couldn't lift her arms,” Sunset replied.
“True,” Twilight murmured.
The pair were quiet for several long seconds before at long last Twilight broke the silence.
“Are we really going through with this?” Twilight asked while staring up at the ceiling. “Are we really going to go out there and start killing people?”
“Only when absolutely necessary,” Sunset answered. “Which I don't think will have to happen very often. Pinkie Pie’s gas bombs are pretty good, and we’ve gotten a lot of practice restraining folk.”
“I know, but like. Foxtrot isn't going to stop. Even if we took him in he would just keep trying,” Twilight exclaimed. “It wouldn't even be safe to not kill him.”
Sunset Shimmer hummed softly. “I suppose there is a chance that he can't be redeemed, and that he won't see the error of his ways but do you really think Perfect would give him that chance?”
“Pffft, no,” Twilight remarked aloud. “He wouldn't hesitate to kill Foxtrot. Provided he doesn't torture him for info or fun.”
“I don't think he would do so for some kind of sick amusement, though I can't say the same about everyone else under his employ,” Sunset Shimmer corrected.
“True,” Twilight agreed. “But we really are doing this though, right?”
Sunset Shimmer glanced at her friend and raised an eyebrow. “Are you having second thoughts?”
“No, absolutely not,” Twilight quickly replied. “I’m just… This feels like we’re crossing the Rubicon you know. After this, our lives will be different and there will be no going back.”
“Hey don't say that. Sure things will change but I don't think it will be that drastic. We’ll still be us. We’ll still have each other,” Sunset Shimmer urged, gripping Twilight's shoulder.
“If we survive,” Twilight corrected.
“We will survive,” Sunset Shimmer stated firmly.
Twilight sighed and glanced down at the floor. “I’m sorry Sunset. I guess this is just my anxiety talking. I don't think that any of us will die in that pit but it's hard not to imagine it happening.”
“We’re all thinking about it, Twi,” Sunset Shimmer exclaimed. “We just can't let those thoughts be anything more than that ya know? We’re all worried.”
“Yeah,” Twilight sighed. “I suppose we should shower and change. I’m sure Pinkie Pie will want to throw some kind of party and I don't want to be around the others while I still reek of sulfur.”
“That's what that is? I thought it was me,” Sunset Shimmer muttered, tugging at her slightly charred shirt and sniffing the tattered fabric.
“Nah, you just smell like burnt hair and,” Twilight paused and sniffed the air. “Is that, mint?”
“Yeah, perfect gave me some gum,” Sunset replied.
Twilight shrugged and walked off towards the hallway. “Either way I’m going to hit the shower.”
“Mind if I join?” Sunset asked.
“I uh…” Twilight stopped and stood there blinking.
Sunset snapped her fingers in front of the other girl’s face. “Hey, it was just a joke, relax,” Sunset exclaimed.
“Err right,” Twilight muttered, blushing profusely.
“Oh you were thinking about it, weren't you?” Sunset Shimmer teased, bumping her hip against Twilight's side.
Twilight scratched her cheek and looked away. “I plead the fifth.”
Sunset Shimmer angrily brushed her hair, glaring at the purple patch of adhesive something that stuck to it. She wasn't sure where it had come from, or why it was there, but she was determined to remove it. So determined in fact, that she nearly walked into a wall, and only caught herself at the last minute.
“Aha, finally,” she muttered to herself.
“Oh hey, there she is. It's about time you showed up,” remarked Pinkie Pie.
“Yeah, we were about to send Twilight in after ya to make sure you didn't slip down the drain or something,” Applejack added.
The farm girl shared a chuckle and a high-five with Rainbow Dash who sat next to her. The others were a little more polite in their laughter. They were also arranged around the U-shaped trio of couches in small groups. The couples stayed together while Pinkie Pie was pacing in front of the enormous TV, her phone in her hand.
“Ha, I’m not that thin,” Sunset Shimmer retorted, falling in next to Twilight with a soft thump.
“So what's the plan anyway?” Rainbow Dash asked. “Cus despite being exhausted I’m weirdly not tired.”
“Me neither,” Rarity added, the girl not looking up from Fluttershy’s nails, a brush held aloft. “I’m utterly spent but very ready for an evening together with you all.”
“It's probably going to be the last one we get for a while,” Fluttershy murmured. “Oh, that tickles.”
“Sorry darling,” Rarity hastily apologized, wiping away the tiny mistake she had made.
“Maybe pizza, or games. Honestly, I just wanna spend with you all,” Sunset Shimmer offered.
Rainbow Dash hopped from the couch and pumped a fist in the air. “Alright, here's to a night of too many snacks, movies, and-”
“Great!” Pinkie Pie suddenly exclaimed. “She’s going to do it!”
“Do uh what, sugar cube?” Applejack muttered.
“Buy us beer, duh,” Pinkie Pie replied.
“Who?” asked Rarity.
“I don't think I like beer,” Fluttershy added.
“Well, not just beer. Cider, some wine. I even talked her into going to the liquor store down the street to grab us something a bit stronger,” Pinkie Pie declared.
“Wait a second. Who are you talking about?” Sunset Shimmer demanded.
“Sonata, duh,” Pinkie Pie answered. “I’ve been chatting her up all week.”
“Wait, aren't we all still underage?” Twilight asked.
“Not me, but I don't have an I.D,” Sunset Shimmer replied.
“Oh pisha. We’re about to fight on a real honest-to-goodness battlefield. I think we deserve a drinky poo or two,” Pinkie Pie proclaimed.
“I mean. I’m not opposed per se,” Fluttershy whispered.
“I have become quite a fan of the champagne my father sneaks me every Christmas,” Rarity added.
“Exactly! And Applejack is a cider head, as is Rainbow Dash,” Pinkie Pie declared.
“Guilty as charged,” Applejack remarked with a nod.
“It's good, and doesn't taste like it was brewed in a sock,” Rainbow Dash added.
The pair shared another high-five.
“So, we doin this or what? Cus I just got my first paycheque from Perfect and it is burning a hole in my pocket!” Pinkie Pie asked, glancing expectantly around the room.
“Sure. But let's order some food as well. I know I already ate but I swear that pizza is already gone,” Sunset Shimmer offered.
“Already on it Sunny Buns. In fact, it should be here right about…” Pinkie Pie glanced over to the door and held up a hand.
“What are we-” Rainbow Dash tried to ask.
“Hush,” Pinkie Pie interrupted, raising a finger.
Rainbow Dash frowned and crossed her arms over her chest. Together the group waited patiently for nearly a minute before they heard the familiar chime of the doorbell.
“...Here!” Pinkie Pie shouted.
In a flash, the pink girl was gone, repairing near the entrance and throwing it open. The others peered over the side of the couch and in the direction of the kitchen slash entryway curiously.
“Come in come in. Your payment should already be in your account, with a tip for being so perfectly on time,” Pinkie Pie exclaimed.
Sonata entered and deposited a stack of brightly colored cardboard boxes with a clatter. She then paused, held up a hand, and pushed out her back. The girl’s spine cracked, and she released a sigh of relief.
“Eh, its no problem Pinks. We ain't got anything else going on and making a bit extra beer money is always good,” Sonata remarked, turning back to the hall. “Come on in, set it all on the table!”
The small army of delivery drivers hastily scampered into the room and deposited their precious cargo. Each one wore a different uniform, but they all received the same fifty-dollar tip from Pinkie Pie on the way out.
“And one for you, and one for you. Oh, don't worry about it. You earned it,” Pinkie Pie exclaimed.
In only a few moments the enormous table was nearly covered with take out of a truly enormous variety. Snacks delivered from a convenience store, deserts from a local bakery, fast food, pizza, Chinese, Pinkie Pie had it all. She had also purchased several hundred dollars worth of booze, Sunset Shimmer guessed.
“Thanks again Sonata! You’re a real lifesaver,” Pinkie Pie offered.
“Hey don't worry about it. Besides, you were a big help getting something for Adagio’s birthday the other week. I never know what to get that old nag,” Sonata remarked, sticking out her tongue.
With that, the well-dressed driver gave Pinkie Pie a nod, and departed, closing the door behind her.
“Holy shit Pinkie,” Rainbow Dash muttered.
“You did all this while we were arguing about power rangers?” Applejack added.
“Yuppers and let me tell you it took all my Pinkie strength not to butt in when you started bashing my boy red ranger,” Pinkie Pie replied.
“That's quite the smorgasbord,” Twilight murmured.
“How much did this all cost? You simply must let us pitch in darling,” Rarity complained, pausing to blow gently on Fluttershy’s now bright pink nails.
“Oh pisha. Perfect Tempo gave me ten thousand dollars as a bonus for throwing him a staff party the other week so don't worry about it,” Pinkie Pie dismissed.
“What, ten thousand dollars?” Rainbow Dash blurted.
“Oh yeah, it was this huge thing for everyone who defended the manor that one time. Platinum wasn't into it until after she saw my plans for a giant swan ice sculpture, and the wine list,” Pinkie Pie answered.
“No wonder you did so much reading about champagne,” Applejack muttered.
“I’m sorry we didn't help,” Fluttershy exclaimed.
“Don't worry about it. If you had then you woulda ruined the surprise now come on. Let's eat!” Pinkie Pie shouted before tearing open a bag of burgers and stuffing one of them into her mouth.
Rainbow Dash was the next to join in, followed closely by Applejack. Rarity and Fluttershy remained behind until Rarity was certain Fluttershy’s nails wouldn't be ruined. Twilight and Sunset sat just outside the blast radius of food, watching the others eagerly dig in.
Sunset elbowed Twilight and leaned in. “I hope you aren't thinking about calling the cops on us.”
“Actually I’m suffering from a bit of choice paralysis. I really want a burger, but ever since I was a kid I’ve wanted to eat an entire bag of gummy worms in a single sitting,” Twilight replied.
Sunset raised an eyebrow. “You’ve never done that before?”
“Never let myself,” Twilight answered.
“Well today’s the day babe,” Sunset Shimmer exclaimed, grasping Twilight around the shoulder. “Let's go make some poor decisions.”
“I never ever would have thought that I would love beer this much,” Sunset Shimmer muttered, swirling around the dark brown liquid sitting at the bottom of her bottle.
“I never would have thought you’d like the taste of an IPA. It's like liquid pine needles,” Twilight exclaimed in disgust.
“Delicious, delicious pine needles,” Sunset Shimmer retorted.
“Is that like a pony thing?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“What, eating pine needles? I mean. Sorta? Some people do but it's kind of seen as something you’d only do if your desperate, like eat grass,” Sunset Shimmer explained.
“You were right Rarity. This stuff is reaaaally good,” Fluttershy murmured, the girl tipping back her wine glass.
“Maybe we should slow down a bit on the wine,” Rarity offered, wincing slightly when she saw the rest of the liquid vanish into the animal lover’s mouth.
“Nuh-” Fluttershy paused to belch. “-Uh.”
“Yeah Rarity, don't be a buzz kill!” Rainbow Dash accused.
“I doubt even Rarity could kill this buzz, heyo!” Applejack exclaimed.
The farm girl then clinked her can against Rainbow Dash’s and downed the rest of her drink alongside the other female.
“How uncouth,” Rarity remarked, turning her nose up and sipping her wine.
“Hey uh, this is great and all but I was hoping I could talk to you guys about something before we get a bit too drunk,” Twilight inquired.
“Waaait!” Pinkie Pie called
Pinkie Pie skidded to a stop in front of the coffee table, arms loaded down with fresh booze. After distributing it amongst her friends, the party girl poured herself a rather tall, fizzy beverage which she topped with a lit sparkler.
“Alright. Now I’m ready,” Pinkie Pie declared.
“Well, I was hoping we could chat about how Perfect Tempo is grooming us to fight Celestia,” Twilight offered.
“Please use a different word than grooming,” Sunset urged.
“Err sorry. You know what I mean,” Twilight glared down at the fruity drink clasped tight in her hands.
“Well I don't see what the problem is,” Rainbow Dash offered, popping a drink and tossing it over to Applejack.
Who caught the beverage took a swig and leaned back. “I agree with Sugar Lips over here,” Applejack exclaimed. “She sounds like a right tyrant, and doesn't seem to care one iota about human lives.”
“I for one am not enthused about taking the fight to them as it were,” Rarity declared. “Going to a whole nother world and leaving behind my family is not something I’d consider.”
“I’d have to leave behind my animals,” Fluttershy whispered, the girl’s eyes suddenly going wide. “But then I’d be able to meet all those magic ones! Rarity lets go do a regime change!”
“We are not doing a regime change!” Rarity hissed.
“Daww,” muttered Fluttershy.
“I mean I ain't exactly thrilled about the prospect either,” Sunset Shimmer offered. “Celestia certainly deserves a good flank kicking, but earth is my home now.”
“All the more reason to go kick her butt so we can stop her from using earth like her interdimensional dumpster!” Rainbow Dash shouted.
“Yeah!” Applejack proclaimed.
“I wouldn't want to fight her either,” Twilight interjected. “I was just thinking that we should be unified on this you know. Like, I don't want to be separated from you guys.”
Rainbow Dash fell back down to the couch, a frown crossing her face.
“I think it's safe to say that as it stands right now that we aren't exactly on board with the whole, potential interdimensional invasion Perfect may or may not be planning,” Sunset Shimmer remarked.
“Yeah I ‘spose yer right,” Applejack murmured. “I couldn't go leavin my family without a darn good reason anyhow.”
“But, but magic animals,” Fluttershy proclaimed.
Rarity gently patted the other girl’s thigh. “I’m sure we’ll see plenty more magic animals real soon.”
“I think you’re right Sunny,” Pinkie Pie added. “What Celestia is doing is bad, but not bad enough to make me want to go all the way to ponyland just to give her keester a firm kick.”
“Wait,” Twilight snapped her fingers. “The journal! Has other me said anything recently? Maybe Evil Celestia has turned over a new leaf and is more like our Celestia.”
Sunset shook her head grimly. “Nothing. There was just a grim warning that something bad was going to happen and that was it. It's not like her to not reply for so long.”
“You don't think that bad thing happened to her, do you?” Rarity asked.
“I sure hope not,” Sunset Shimmer muttered.
“That's enough moping,” Pinkie Pie interjected. “It's time for a fun game called… truth or dare!”
“Heck yeah. I dare Applejack to streak to the front desk and back!” Rainbow Dash shouted.
“What's with you and trying to see me naked? Every time truth or dare it's always streaking,” Applejack demanded, jabbing a finger into the speedster’s side. “I’m startin to think you might be a bit of a horn dog.”
“Your only figuring that out now? Your parents really must be related,” Rainbow Dash retorted.
“Well at least I can listen to ‘Hurt’ without crying like a little girl,” Applejack shot back.
“Alright cut it out before you two start making out. We got a game to play and besides, its my turn first,” Pinkie Pie proclaimed, pointing a finger at Fluttershy. “Dare!”
Fluttershy blinked. “Uh… finish your drink.”
“Okay dokay lokay!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed, hefting the mug of bright pink liquid to her lips.
“Chug, chug, chug,” Applejack and Rainbow Dash chanted.
The party girl downed the entire thing in seconds and sighed contentedly, wiping the suds stuck to her upper lip. “That's a good pink squirrel.”
“You ate a squirrel?” Fluttershy exclaimed, tears already budding at the corners of her eyes.
“It's just a drink dar-hic!-ling,” Rarity interjected, pausing to cover her mouth in surprise.
“She drank a squirrel?” Fluttershy muttered.
“It's just what it's called. No ground-up squirrel required,” Pinkie Pie explained.
“Oh thank goodness,” Fluttershy whispered.
“So… I think it's your turn Fluttershy,” Twilight pointed out, the girl pausing to take a sip of her drink.
“Um, okay. Rarity… truth?” Fluttershy mumbled nervously, hiding behind her glass of sparkling white wine.
“I…” Rarity paused and bit her lip.
Gazing down at the other girl, Rarity suddenly seemed quite focused, her slow wobbling back and forth halted at least for a moment. She was quiet for several seconds, long enough to make Rainbow Dash start to grow antsy though not so much that she interrupted.
“Do you… love me?” Rarity whispered.
Fluttershy's eyes went wide. “More than giraffes, horsies, and even cute little bunny rabbits!”
Rarity gasped. “I love you too darling!”
“Can we make out now please?” Fluttershy asked, twirling a section of hair around her finger. “I know you said not to around the others but-”
Rarity suddenly grabbed the other girl by the face and pulls her forward, meeting the flustered female halfway.
“Wow, they are really going at it,” Applejack muttered.
Rainbow Dash elbowed Applejack. “Why don't you use that much tongue?”
“I didn't know you were sposed to,” Applejack murmured.
“Alright, Rainbow Dash’s turn!” Pinkie Pie proclaimed.
Rarity and Fluttershy parted just long enough for the pair to down their entire wine glasses. They then began to kiss once more, only this time Rarity pushed her partner down against the couch. She then crawled atop the shy girl and began to furiously make out with Fluttershy.
“Damn. Dinner and a show. You are good Pinkie,” Rainbow Dash remarked.
“Damn straight. Errr gay,” Pinkie Pie replied, giggling at her own joke.
“Anywho. Uh, dare,” Rainbow Dash declared.
“I dare you to flash me,” Applejack paused. “I err. If that's alright with y'all.”
“Alright, everyone else look away. Except for Pinkie Pie,” Rainbow Dash demanded.
“Yippe,” proclaimed Pinkie.
Sunset and Twilight shared a collective eye roll and turned away.
“Woah. They’re like a pair of itty bitty mosquito bites,” Applejack remarked.
“Dawww I like 'em!” Pinkie Pie added.
“Fricking rude!” Rainbow Dash shouted, lowering her shirt. “We can't all have Fluttershy’s sweater puppies.”
“Which we might see in a few minutes if this goes where I think it's going,” Twilight murmured.
“Don't be like that. I like ‘em,” Applejack replied, pausing to bite her lip. “Kinda makes me want to suck ‘em.”
“Alright Applejack, your turn!” Pinkie Pie interrupted.
“Wait, can we look now?” Twilight asked.
“Oh yeah you can look,” Rainbow Dash answered.
“Hmmm. Truth,” Applejack replied.
Rainbow Dash’s eyes lit up and she surged forward, grabbing Applejack by the shoulders. “Do you want to have sex tonight?”
“Girls, really?” Sunset Shimmer exclaimed.
“C'mere,” Applejack offered, gesturing for Rainbow Dash to lean forward.
When she did, Applejack began to furiously whisper in the other girl’s ear. By the time the second word was uttered Rainbow Dash’s face was turning red. By the time Applejack leaned back, the speedster was doing her best tomato impression.
“Oh… my gosh,” Rainbow Dash muttered.
“I think we know what she said,” Sunset Shimmer remarked.
“Alright Twilight, your turn,” Pinkie Pie declared.
Twilight winced. “Does it have to be Sunset? No offense Sunset.”
“None taken,” Sunset lied.
“Nah I can ask the question or whatever if you want,” Pinkie Pie offered.
“Alright then… truth,” Twilight proclaimed.
“Why aren't you and Sunny Buns a thing yet?” Pinkie Pie asked.
Rarity gasped and pulled back from Fluttershy. “No kidding. Why aren't you two like…”
“The rest of us?” Rainbow Dash finished.
Twilight sighed. “Well, we kind of are. It's just… weird.”
“And now my feelings are hurt,” Sunset Shimmer muttered, the girl taking refuge in her liquid pine needle beverage.
“No, not like that!” Twilight hastily exclaimed. “Things between us have always felt natural its just… after the magic was purged from us I felt my desire to date Timber just kind of… evaporate.”
“You don't think that it was making you straight do you?” Sunset asked.
Twilight shook her head. “No. I’ve always been bi but it felt as though it was pushing me toward that. Trying to make me ignore, or forget the other half of my attraction.”
“So now your kind of caught wondering if this is forced as well,” Applejack interjected.
Twilight sighed and nodded.
“Wait, um didn't you scan everyone and say that no magic was used on us?” Fluttershy offered, peeking out from around Rarity who was still covering her.
“Yes, but I can't stop thinking about it,” Twilight admitted.
“That's stupid. You’re good now. You’re free to enjoy yourself. So do it,” Rainbow Dash encouraged.
“Yeah live life to its fullest! That's my motto!” Pinkie Pie proclaimed.
“I suppose it is kind of silly,” Twilight whispered.
“Sunset, your turn!” Pinkie Pie announced.
“Dare,” Sunset exclaimed.
“I dare you… to make out with Twilight!” Pinkie Pie declared.
A hush fell over the room, and all eyes turned to a blushing Twilight who avoided their gaze.
“We don't have to,” Sunset Shimmer offered.
“It was a dare…” Twilight muttered.
“So you're saying you wouldn't mind?” Sunset pressed.
Twilight paused, threw back the rest of her drink, and nodded. “Let's do it.”
“Are you sure, your really intense for just a kiss,” Sunset Shimmer interjected.
“Kiss me before I chicken out already!” Twilight demanded.
Sunset Shimmer required no additional prompting and leaned forward, embracing the other girl. The moment their lips touched, the rest of the room fell away and the only thing left was each other. The kiss deepened after only a moment’s hesitation and continued until they had both run out of breath. Pulling back, their hands found one another, and their fingers intertwined.
“Woah that was intense,” Rainbow Dash murmured.
“No kidding. Kinda makes me want to uh… retire early,” Applejack offered, elbowing Rainbow Dash in the side.
“Oh uh yeah totally. I think we're just gonna go… do stuff in our room now,” Rainbow Dash exclaimed.
“Which one of you is Stuff?” Pinkie Pie asked, already giggling.
The room shared a giggle while Rainbow Dash and Applejack hurried out of the room.
“Maybe we should go as well. All this booze is making me really hot,” Fluttershy whispered.
“Oh darling,” Rarity began, running a finger down the other girl’s chest. “You’ve always been hot.”
“Woohoo let's go sexy times!” Pinkie Pie hollered, pumping a fist in the air.
“Yes well,” Rarity paused to help Fluttershy to her feet. “If you find yourself out our way do come in and bring the bottle with you darling.”
“Can do!” Pinkie Pie replied.
The party girl hopped up and gathered a few cups, as well as the bottle before following after the other two. Only to stop at the door and backpedal rapidly until she was leaning backward over one of the couches.
“Hey, are you two gonna be okay by yourselves over here? I don't want to be a bad party planner buuut…” Pinkie Pie inquired.
“Go on. I think… I think we’re just fine here,” Sunset replied, her gaze fixed on Twilight.
Who nodded. “Thanks for the amazing party Pinkie Pie.”
“It was my pleasure. And so will this, yippee!” Pinkie Pie proclaimed before vanishing in a flash.
Twilight smiled faintly. “This was nice.”
“Uh huh,” Sunset agreed.
“But I am getting a bit tired,” Twilight offered.
Sunset’s eyes went wide. “You don't mean.”
“N-no. Not yet,” Twilight corrected. “But maybe we could just cuddle, and sleep together but like just sleep together as in literally.”
Sunset Shimmer smiled. “I’d like that.”
