The Fault In Our Harmony

by Miralusa


Not According To Plan

Sunset walked out of the school with Rarity and Fluttershy on either side of her.
“So what’s the plan for the week with Twilight?” Rarity asked curiously.
“Well if you must know, I rented out a cabin in the country, a little get away where it’s just the two of us, no books, no sports, just us and fishing and hiking and lot’s of other fun outdoor activities,” Sunset said with a smile on her face thinking about it.
“Your one year anniversary and you're going for a week in the country… It’s official you're a sappy romantic, darling,” Rarity replied giggling a little bit.
“Maybe, but I think that’s what Twilight likes the most about me,” Sunset stated with a wide smile.
“What not your cute ass?” Fluttershy asked with a grin.
“Well there’s that too,” Sunset replied with a laugh as she twisted her neck to look at her ass.
The girls all shared a laugh as their smiles grew wider.
“So how about you girls, what are your plans?” Sunset asked looking at her friends.
“Me and Applejack are going for a quiet night in to watch some movies,” Rarity stated gleefully.
“And me and Pinkie are going to be visiting some Nature reserves out in the country, it’s going to be a fun week,” Fluttershy said barely able to contain her excitement.
“I’m sure that that wasn’t Pinkies idea,” Rarity said with a knowing smile.
“Actually it was her idea,” Fluttershy replied.
“Really?” Rarity asked confused.
“Yep,” Fluttershy said with a smile.
“That’s great, you guys. You know, this has been an amazing year,” Sunset said pulling her friends closer.
“For more reasons than one,” Rarity said with a knowing smile.
“Well the sex is amazing… And then there’s you guys,” Sunset joked with a coy smile.
“Can’t argue with that,” Fluttershy replied.
“You just had to ruin the moment with your vulgar comments didn’t you?” Rarity asked half-lying.
“Oh come on, we know that you are ‘extremely’ unladylike with Applejack,” Sunset replied with a knowing smile.
“That’s not it at all,” Rarity defended herself with a look of fake disdain on her face.
“Sure it isn’t,” Sunset replied with a cocked eyebrow.
Rarity looked over the street to see Applejack leaning against her new pickup-truck. “Well I’m off, I will see you two later,” Rarity said and ran over to embrace Applejack.
“Aw, that’s beautiful,” Pinkie said suddenly popping up next to Fluttershy.
Sunset jumped when Pinkie showed up. “You have to tell me how you do that,” Sunset said trying to get her breathing under control.
“Do what?” Pinkie asked confused.
“Nevermind,” Sunset replied giving up immediately.
“You ready, Flutters?” Pinkie said as she grabbed Fluttershy’s hand.
“You bet, I’ll see you later Sunset,” Fluttershy said and gave Sunset a hug.
“See you guys later,” Sunset replied as she returned the hug. “Now no funny business you two, I don’t want to have to explain to Maud why Pinkie has hickies on her neck again,” she added when her and Fluttershy separated.
“Yes Ma’am,” Fluttershy and Pinkie said at the same time as they saluted her.
“At ease,” Sunset replied with a laugh. After that Fluttershy and Pinkie left their hands intertwined as they waved goodbye to Sunset.
“You know they won’t listen,” Rainbow Dash said from the nearby bench that sat to the side of the statue portal
“I know, but it’s everyponies right to dream isn’t it?” Sunset asked with a laugh.
“Right,” Rainbow said returning the laugh as she spun a soccer ball on the tip of her fingers.
“So where’s Gwen?” Sunset asked Rainbow as she sat beside Rainbow.
“Just finishing up her last class for the day, I’m going to try to convince her to join the soccer team,” Rainbow replied as she flipped the soccer ball onto her head and balanced it there.
“Again?” Sunset asked trying not to laugh.
“Hey the girl is a beast on the field, she’s even close to my level. She’d have to be twenty percent cooler to be on my level,” Rainbow said bouncing the ball off her head and kicking it towards the portal.
“Sure, that’s exactly why she beat you three times in a row,” Sunset said as she rolled her eyes.
“I was going easy on her,” Rainbow lied.
“Sure you were,” Sunset stated giggling now.
Gwen walked out of the school and looked around.
“Gotta go, I’ll see you later, Sunset,” Rainbow said quickly and grabbed her soccer ball and ran towards Gwen. Rainbow embraced her girlfriend as Sunset watched with a wide smile.
Sunset could tell when Gwen rolled her eyes and laughed that Rainbow was putting her plan into effect. She’s hopeless, but they are a cute couple, Sunset thought as she grabbed out a book from her backpack as she waited for her girlfriend to show up...

Rain had started to fall over Canterlot High as Sunset waited still for her girlfriend, she had been sat at the bench now for four hours checking her watch constantly and looking around nervously. It’s not like her to be this late, two or three minutes yes, but not three hours late… I wonder if she’s even going to show up. Sunset thought to herself starting to twiddle her thumbs nervously. Where are you, Twilight? Sunset’s phone then buzzed. She retrieved it from her pocket and noticed it was Fluttershy.
Hey Sunny, how are things going with Twilight? Fluttershy wrote.
She’s not even here. Sunset replied.
Maybe something came up? Fluttershy wrote back.
She told me that she had the week off… She would have told me if something happened. Sunset wrote.
I’m sure she has her reasons.
As Sunset read the last text and found she couldn’t help but agree with Fluttershy. I should probably get out of this rain, if Twilight wants to show up, she knows where I live. Sunset thought to herself angry at Twilight and grabbed her bag and made to leave. Suddenly a figure stepped through the portal and Sunset whirled around expecting it to be Twilight. It was Pinkie Pie except her hair wasn’t all puffed up.
“Pinkie?” Sunset asked.
“You must be Sunset Shimmer, I’m Pinkie Pie,” Pinkie replied flatly.
This isn’t at all like the Pinkie I know? “Where’s Twilight?” Sunset asked slightly concerned and angry.
“It’s better if I showed you, I was sent here to get you… Twilight needs you,” Pinkie said trying not to cry.
“What happened?” Sunset asked now looking nervously at the portal.
“Please just come with me,” Pinkie said as tears began rolling down her cheeks.
Suddenly the anger washed away and was replaced with sadness, concern, and worry. Sunset approached the portal slowly, she thought of all the fears of going back and her steps faltered as she approached the portal… She closed her eyes tight and then her thoughts were brought to the one thing that meant more to her than anything… Twilight, whatever happens I’ll always be here for you. As those thoughts thundered through her head her eyes opened in defiance and she stepped through the portal with Pinkie. I’m coming Twilight, I’ll always be there for you...
