	It was a cool autumn evening near the outskirts of Ponyville. It was just the right temperature to be outside without worrying about feeling cold. The sun radiated a pleasant warmth to those under it, while a gentle breeze always made sure no pony would feel too hot regardless of the level of physical activity. 
On a hill two ponies sat overlooking Ponyville. One was bright pink with a pink mane as wild as a ball of cotton candy. The other was cerulean blue with the only rainbow mane in all of Equestrian. Against the lush green grass, these two ponies were visible from miles away. For them, it’s been a long day spent running around the town, and now it was their moment of peace. A silence settled around them as they rested next to each other. The silence was only momentarily broken by echoes of the remaining parents calling their foals in for supper. 
The sun slowly sank as Celestia brought the sun down to make way for the moon. The orange and crimson hues in the sky gave way to the indigoes and purples as the sun fell closer to the horizon. The warmth also slowly left with the setting sun. Pinkie shuffled closer to Rainbow because of the cooling temperatures, and Rainbow responded by draping a wing over her company.
“I always liked sunsets more than sunrises,” said Pinkie Pie.
“Same,” replied Rainbow Dash.
“It’s almost like Celestia’s own party lights in the sky,” sighed Pinkie Pie.
“Yeah, but most importantly, there is no getting out of bed at sunset,” chuckled Rainbow Dash.
With that, Pinkie rested her head on Dash’s shoulder. Once again, Rainbow reciprocated Pinkie’s action by placing her muzzle on top of Pinkie’s pillow like mane. The smell of sweets filled her nostril, and every muscle in her body relaxed as Rainbow Dash let the scent wash over her. The two ponies rested against each other as the moon casted a pale white glow over the empty town and surrounding area. A pink and blue body glowed under the moon on the quiet hill. Nothing moved and nothing made a sound as to not disturb the two peaceful ponies on the hill.
“Who are we pranking tomorrow?” whispered Rainbow Dash.
“Let’s worry about that tomorrow,” mumbled Pinkie. “For now, let’s stay like this for a while. We can go back to Sugarcube Corner later. I have a gift for you before you head back home.”
Rainbow Dash pulled her wing in a little and hugged her body tightly against Pinkie’s. “Okay, in a few more minutes.”
