"I-YOU-BU-WHA--WHO THE HAY ARE YOU?!?!"
"Name's Shimmer. Sunset Shimmer. But on to more important questions--"
"What gives you any right to ask about my romantic life?!" Starlight Glimmer sputtered. "Or about Sunburst?! AND HOW DID YOU EVEN GET IN TWILIGHT'S PALACE ANYWAY?!"
Sunset tapped her chin. "You know, technically I could answer all those questions with 'Magic' and be a hundred percent accurate. But I'll be fair: You're a highly-powerful unicorn, which means everybody's going to be watching you for powerful foals; I have close ties to Sunburst, which means I have a very good reason to look out for his future; and a mirror."
"I---you--mirror?!"
"Granted, it's a magic mirror. So, again, why aren't you tongue tangoing the tasty treat that is your childhood friend?"
Starlight Glimmer opened her mouth, incomprehensible syllables pouring out as her face went from merely arguably pink to definitely pink. Sunset stood with a patient smile, waiting for a coherent response.
"I-I just--you just--this is--what?! WHAT?! You don't just open with--with, and you, and me, and Sunburst, and what?! WHAT?! WHAT?!"
"None of this is answering my question."
"I'm not going to answer your question!" Starlight shouted. "It's a ridiculous question that I shouldn't have to--!"
"Hold on, are you gay or asexual or something?" Sunset asked. "I mean, it's totally cool if you are."
"...what."
"Look, if you're not going to answer, I'm just going to guess." The yellow mare leaned against a wall. "I mean, you could be saving yourself for marriage, I guess--which kinda seems weird, since kissing isn't actual sex, but if that's how you roll--"
"I have too much going on in my life to worry about something like love!"
Sunset grinned. "There, you see? Was that so hard?"
Starlight opened her mouth, paused, and narrowed her eyes. "You are a manipulative, conniving little pony."
"Mmmm. Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty much me in a nutshell." The yellow mare pushed herself off the wall, holding out her hoof to Starlight. "Still, that doesn't mean we can't be friends."
"I... guess not?" Starlight cautiously shook her hoof, keeping her eye on the pony. "I mean, I've done a lot worse."
The other unicorn nodded. "Yeah, heard about your equality cult."
"Y-You did?!" Starlight flinched, pulling her hoof back. "I mean, I don't do that anymore, and--how do you know about that anyway?!"
"Me and Twilight chat every now and again. You know, talk about our lives and stuff. You came up a while ago." Sunset shrugged. "It's no big deal to me, I did something similar a while ago."
"...What?"
"Hypnotized a bunch of teenage apes, planned to use them to conquer Equestria. Twilight slapped some sense into me. Hey, maybe we could start a club or something." Sunset wrapped a leg around Starlight's shoulders, pointing at nothing. "Reformed Unicorns' Group! Actually, no, I don't know that many reformed unicorns. I mean I know this one girl who isn't a unicorn."
"There's this pony called Trixie who--wait, no, hold on!" Starlight moved out from under Sunset's foreleg. "I don't even know anything about you and you just come out of nowhere to ask me about--about my romantic life!"
"Why are you still focused on that?" Sunset asked, tilting her head. "I mean we got that straightened out like forty five seconds ago."
"Who even are you?! And I don't mean your name and stuff, it's... you're walking up like you know me already and... and casually asking me about my personal life, but I don't know anything about you!"
Sunset blinked, processing the words. "...Huh. You know what? You have a point... Wow. I went about this the entirely wrong way. Let's start over." She held out her hoof. "Hi. I'm Sunset Shimmer. I dated Sunburst once."
Starlight stared at her in disbelief. "Really, you just think... okay. Fine." With a melodramatic toss of her mane, Starlight lifted her own hoof and bumped Sunset's. "Hi, I'm Starlight Glimmer. I was friends with Sunburst when we were kids."
"Good to know. So, you want to..." Sunset paused, looking around. "Actually, it's been a while since I've been in Equestria. What is it that ponies do for casual get togethers again?"
"Uh.... hum." Starlight rubbed her chin. "You know, I... never really was good at the casual get together thing. Almost all my interactions with other ponies were either to convince them to join my equality cult or, after that, to redeem myself for forming an equality cult. So... What do you want to do?"
"Good question... I don't know, maybe some kind of board game or something?"
Starlight shrugged. "Yeah, sure, that... that seems like a good idea." She paused. "Are you... going to keep pestering me about Sunburst?"
"Weeeeeeeeeeell," Sunset hedged, "I do want what's best for him, and you do seem like you'd at the very least protect him from the hordes of mares interested in his beard, sooooooo..."
"Why would hordes of mares be interested in his beard?"
"Um. Have you seen that beard?"
"Yeah. It's just a beard."
Sunset stared at Starlight, completely shocked.
"...What?" Starlight shrugged. "It's true! I mean... why are you looking at me like that?!"
"So you're saying... mares don't like beards."
"It's a non-issue--I mean, if you like beards that's fine, but it's not universal. How did you not know this?"
Sunset turned away, mumbling to herself. Starlight swore she heard something about spices. Finally, the yellowish unicorn turned back. "Let's... let's just find some game to play."

Hooooray for this sequel!
Well this is off to an insane start...
Sunset is monumentally disappointed she was wrong about Spicy her entire life, including the fake beard she keeps in a closet.
Noooooo! Not ol' Spicy! Starlight, how could you?!
O-kay! Just going to hit that like button... and then just sit in the corner of my room with a derp face until the next chapter comes in.
Oh boy, more Sunburst style awkwardness ahead...
This made me laugh. Nothing more to say than that.
Well, besides the fact that this seems like the start to something truly hilarious, and I love how casual Sunset is about manipulating Starlight and generally being weird enough to throw her off.
7471491 I'm still trying to find a OTP for Sunset. Help?
7471908 If its this sunset I could see Moondancer... Academically gifted just in case the secret slips out and the relationship would be based on the simple equation. Twilight+ Male= Sunburst Sunburst- Male= Sunset
7471532 You expect anything less?
7471933
That equation is both false and overly simplified. Moondancer has standards.
And now we can see that Twilight and Sunset share a similar taste for stallions. I bet Twi has a Starswirl the Bearded dakimakura hidden somewhere.
Great. Another part of the Suncloned series. Good. Good. Very good.
YES YES YES YES YES.
Bahahahahaha
Good question, how did you not learn this Sunset?
Not only is this a sequel to another hilarious story, but it also follows the same formula of the chapter title being the starting dialogue
This is genius.
7472136 Remember, she's an advanced rule 63 clone of Sunburst, as explained in the last story
7472182 So? She had a few year since then to live as a mare and latter as a girl.
7472190 Fair point. Although, considering her question, I figured a part of Sunburst was still lingering inside of her.
We have a bearded lady.
Yes! The saga continues! And I CARE NOT THAT I READ THESE STORIES OUT OF ORDER! POWER TO THE AUTHOR!!!
... I think I just died.
7472018 Stander's? Oh you mean that trashy homoerotic story about male fighter's with warrior apparitions. Yeah I bet she has a copy. As well as Rarity, Trixie, and all the other mares AND stallions out of practice in the "Bedroom Waltz"
HAHAHAHAHAHA can't wait to see Sunburst walk into this conversation.
As if having your opposite-gender clone nag you long-distance to hook up with your childhood friend was bad enough, now she's back to do it personally. Though whenever Starlight finds just who Sunset actually is, that's going to be awkward. Just as long as Sunset sticks with trying to set up Starlight with Sunburst, or else things are just going to get weirder.
Congratulations, you have more approval from strangers on the internet. Go you!
7472894
Nah, Starlight just starts dating Sunset.
I find this to be hilarious.
I wanna know what she was mumbling about 'spices'. That seems...intriguing.
This..this is going to be a very fun ride.

I cannot str e ss h o w much that ma d e me laug h
7471908 Most just go ahead and ship her with Princess Twilight, followed in popularity by Science Twilight, then with basically any other of the Canterlot High five. Then Adagio Dazzle. I think I like that last one, personally, though Science Twilight comes in a close second for me. I haven't seen a whole lot of hetero-ships for Sunset, honestly, but that's probably because the only male characters (who aren't dogs) with any character in the human world (and I use the word "character" quite loosely) are Flash Sentry, Snips, and Snails.
Though now that I think about it, that hippie guy with the dreads looks like a nice guy...I think his name is Sandalwood or something.
Oh, if you think this is bad, just wait until you find out how Sunset is related to Sunburst, Starlight. It gets...complicated.
You know, since Sunset has Sunburst's memories, from her point of view it feels like Starlight is her childhood friend as well.
>Glimglim
Glimglam*
Well Susnet did say there were alot of sexy girls back inthe human world. So that must mean the Main Five, and the Dazzlings and nwo her own Droky shy Twilight.
Sure she spends nights trying to decide, or maybe she should pony nap Starlight and seduce her?
7473433 ... Yup. Mind as well just go with the whole Friends With Benefits thing but across dimensions.
7471933 Friends with benefits then. For everyone.
Ok i'm confused did she date him or is she his sister? Cause the header says brother and the story says dated and if it's both.... thats just wrong
I just stumbled across this series. I want more.....
Ready for a ride? Totally.
I know it's going to be great when I'm laughing already only a few words in
7473850 Somebody clearly didn't read the two prequel stories. I highly suggest you do so.
Ya know, these should really be part of the same story instead of being broken up separately.
lol Hilarious.^^
And so Sunset has to go rethink her life. I can only handle how Sunburst will react to this news.
Definitely looking forward to seeing where you go with this.
This is gonna be fun.
7473850 Sunburst made a magical construct that would serve as his date to the Grand Galloping Gala, but accidentally gave her his memories and free will (Celestia's hair was involved). So... a bit of both?
That's barely even the start of the hilarity that is this series :P
7471908
If you're asking, I assume you aren't into the popular ones, i.e. Twilight, Humane 5, or Adagio (not that I blame you, as I dislike all of those). Still, beyond the ones already noted, the only ones that seem to have at least some mild popularity, i.e. I can find multiple fics with them, are Big Mac (he seems to get shipped with everyone), Spike (same as Big Mac, though this for obvious reasons generally involves either a humanized Spike or pony Sunset with dragon Spike), Flash Sentry (the two were in a relationship previously, though the fan stigma against him seems to have kept this one's popularity down), and, weirdly, Shining Armor (mostly in alternate universe/timeline stories to avoid the obvious Cadance issue, but technically we don't know if Shining Armor and Cadance are in any kind of relationship in the Equestria Girls universe).
