I stretched out on the couch as I tossed some popcorn into my mouth, idly watching tv.
The door swung open as Lyra dragged a black bag in.
“Uh what’s in the bag?” I asked cautiously as Lyra shrugged.
“Can I use your room for a bit?” Lyra asked as she continued dragging the bag into the living.
“Uh sure? What’s in the bag?” I asked again as Lyra muttered something. “I didn’t hear you, speak up.”
“Sunset.”
“What?” I shouted as she winced. “Why?”
“She can answer even more questions about Equestria now! I plan on taking samples, hair, finger nails the like. Maybe cum as well.”
“Lyra! What the fuck? You kidnapped Sunset!” I snapped as she shrugged. “Oh my God Lyra. Now you’ve gotten me involved in false imprisonment. That can be a misdemeanor or a felony!”
“Yeah?”
“And you don’t see a problem with this?”
“Not really. I can finally prove unicorns and pegasus are real!” Lyra exclaimed and giggled as I facepalmed.
“So you kidnapped her?! How did you even overpower her?”
“I hit her. She accidentally fell and hit her head on the wall. She passed out pretty quick, think she might have a concussion.”
I shot up off the couch and ripped the bag open. Sunset was snoring with her hands tied as I glared at Lyra.
“You know how homophobic my parents are! If they see us with a tied up girl, they will think we are about to do some kinky sex shit and kick me out!” I fumed as I cut Sunset’s zip ties holding her hands. “Oh my God Lyra. Do you just carry zip ties around?”
“Mhm!” Lyra said as we carried Sunset to my room and I gently laid her on my bed. “Well uh on the upside, you finally got Sunset in your bed at least?”
I increased my glare as Lyra gulped nervously.
“I’ll uh go get Sunset some water and pain meds,” Lyra jerked a thumb back and took off into the bathroom.
“I’m so sorry about this,” I said to the unconsciously Sunset. “She’s not normally like that.”
I inhaled and kissed her forehead as I blushed slightly. I was so going to kill Lyra after this.
I sat on my bed as Sunset groaned, sitting up.
“Oh my God,” I muttered as she blinked. “I thought you were dead. Just like how Lyra will be.”
“Bon Bon? You kidnapped me?” Sunset asked as she started to edge away from me.
“No! That was Lyra. She wanted to ask more about Equestria and take samples of you to compare to her own. Don’t worry, she went home though. You’re at my house for the time being.”
“So she kidnapped me?” Sunset asked as I shrugged.
“Trust me, I don’t understand her logic either. She’s a nutcase for sure but I love her like a sister. She will apologize later don’t worry.”
“She can really hit. Girl is stronger than I gave her credit,” Sunset mused as she stood up. “I’m going home if you don’t mind. Where’s my moped?”
“In Lyra’s car. We forgot to get it out before she left.”
“I’ll walk home. Thanks for uh taking care of me I guess?” Sunset said as I watched her leave my room and walk down the stairs.
I stood up and sighed, searching for my keys. This could be a decent opportunity to spend more time with Sunset.
“Finally! There you are!” I grumbled as I grabbed my keys from the dresser and ran down the stairs. “Sunset!”
“Yeah?”
“So, listen, I was wondering if I could ride you home. I mean uhm give you a ride home in my car, to your house,” I said and turned faintly red.
“Sure I guess.”
“Right this way,” I said and opened the front door. I stepped outside with Sunset behind me as she shut the door and she followed down the front steps to a rusty yellow Camaro.
“A nineteen seventy Chevy Camaro,” Sunset let out a whistle as she looked at it. “Nice racing stripes. The rust kinda ruins the look but the Z28 is a bad ass car. Didn’t take you for a muscle car type of person.”
“I have my secrets too,” I chuckled as we both opened our respective doors and sat inside.
“Uh huh,” Sunset muttered as she looked around. “How much did you pay for this?”
“Four thousand.”
Sunset gave me an incredulous look as she set her phone down in the cup holder with directions to her apartment.
“Seriously? Only four? The average cost for one of these is thirty three thousand depending on condition. Even a rusty one like this would still be expensive.”
“Damn,” I mused as we left my street.
“Must be nice to live near the beach,” Sunset sighed as she stared out the window. “All I see is gang members, drunk or high people passed out and construction.”
“That uh sucks,” I offered weakly as the engine made a sound I’ve never heard before and pulled onto a dirt road overlooking the water. “Uh what? It’s never done this before.”
”When I get that feeling, I want sexual healing-”
I slammed my hand down on the radio and it shut off as I gave Sunset a sheepish look.
“Oh. This radio is, like, you know- It’s an old radio, too, so,” I said hastily as Sunset nodded.
”Sexual healing. Sex-u-al.”
“Look, this isn’t something that I, you know- I can’t get this radio to stop. Look, I wouldn’t try this on you. You know. ‘Cause this is like a romantic, romantic thing that I’m not trying to do,” I said quickly as Sunset raised an eyebrow.
“Uh okay?”
“Not that you’re not worthy of trying something like this on,” I corrected myself as I blushed.
“Of course not,” Sunset agreed as she pulled a hair tie from her backpack and put her hair up in a pony tail.
“I’m a friend of yours. I’m not a romantic friend. Romantic friends do this. I mean, I’m not that- that friend. I mean, we- I could be. If-”
“Just pop the hood,” Sunset said as she got up. I nodded as I tried to quit blushing a pushed down on the hood latch before glaring at the radio.
“I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with but shut the fuck up please!” I hissed at the car. I stepped out of the car as Sunset opened the hood and she let out a long whistle.
I raised an eyebrow slightly as the two of us stared at a chrome and orange engine as Sunset gave an approving sound.
“Whoa, nice headers. You’ve got a high-rise double-pump carburetor. That’s pretty impressive, Bon Bon,” Sunset said as she looked closer into the engine bay.
I didn’t really know much about cars to be honest but the fact that Sunset did was a bit of a turn on not gonna lie.
“Double-pump?”
“It squirts the fuel in so you can go faster,” Sunset explained.
“Oh,” I said as my eyes drifted to her waist. “I like to go fast.” I quickly shook my head and looked away.
“And it looks like your distributor cap’s a little lose,” Sunset answered as she leaned back. Thank the lord she didn’t see me looking. “Just take it to a mechanic shop whenever you get the chance.”
“How exactly do you know all this?” I asked curiously as she shrugged.
“I work at a mechanic shop. Nothing too serious, but it pays well.” And now she is even hotter in my opinion.
“That’s cool,” I said casually as I rested my head on the hood. “Oh my god.”
“Do you want to start up the engine for me?” Sunset asked as I nodded. I sat inside the car and turned the key.
“So uh what exactly happened between you and your mentor that made you run over to this world?” I asked as I kept turning the key. Sunset exhaled and I internally hoped I didn’t hit a touchy subject.
“You know, I think I’m gonna walk home after all. I can call you a tow truck if you want.”
“I’ll be fine. Walkings healthy, right?” I said as Sunset nodded and walked away down the road. “Please work. Don’t let her leave.” I turned the key once again and the engine started. “Thank the gods. Hey wait!”
Sunset turned around as I forced the hood down before getting back in the car as she gave me a faint smile.
“Still wanna walk?” I asked with a small smile as she walked back over.
“Nah.”
“So uh there’s your apartment building,” I said as we both looked out the window. I offered to take her to the hospital but she refused. Something about hospitals being expensive which she wasn't wrong.
“Thanks for the ride. It was uh enlightening. So why exactly are you called SD but your name is Bon Bon?”
“Oh that,” I said and shrugged. She was smarter than I gave her credit. “It was a nickname Lyra gave me in middle school. Something about me being sweet and shit. I don’t know, we both were cringy in middle school.”
“Ah,” Sunset nodded. “I’m not entirely looking for a relationship right now but that can always change in the future maybe.”
“Okay.”
“So you don’t think I’m an evil bitch then?” Sunset asked as I shook my head rapidly.
“I think there’s more a lot more than meets the eye with you is all. I don’t think you’re evil so yeah.”
Sunset gave me a weak smile as I forced one back.
“So uh see you Monday. It was fun,” Sunset said as she got out of the car.
“Yeah see ya Monday,” I sighed as the door shut and I watched her walk inside. “That was such a stupid fucking line. God help me.”
I sighed once more before heading home. No real reason to stay here and have Sunset think I’m a stalker.
