15. Kaleid Liner Prisma Sunny
"Thanks for the help, Shimmy!"
"No problem, Diane," Sunny nodded, levitating a huge chocolate cake like it was nothing. "But seriously, four cans of whipped cream for one cake?"
"It's okay, I have plenty more in case we run out!"
"That's... good. Good to know." She stood in place in silence while Pinkie grabbed the plates. "It's really happening, isn't it?"
"Yep! All this cake for the nine of us. Spike is a dog and it's poisonous to him, so he gets his own treats. Oh, and I owe Limestone three slices for being an awesome older sister. And one for Maud because she is also an awesome older sister. And I should keep one for Marble when she comes back because she's an awesome little sister, and one for mom and dad.”
“Lemme guess, they’re awesome too?”
“They have their moments!"
"I'm not sure there's enough cake for everyone. Whipped cream, however..."
Pinkie beamed proudly. "Which is why I made a second one, just for my family!"
"Ah, clever girl!"
After a bit more silence, Sunny continued. "Back in the day, I wasn't even dreaming about cakes. I was content with just the two of us, together... although having a good team is good too, I guess."
"Yup, a party of two is okay, but very unbalanced, so you both have to take multiclassing and end up unoptimized for later challenges, not to mention all the loot you have to ignore because you only have a single slot for each piece and your inventory space is limited and you need to carry consumables, and don't even get me started on what happens when one falls down and the minions don't give you five seconds to rez your partner so you have to complete the instance solo and it takes FOREVER while the fallen friend has to wait and hope we don't have to repeat the whole thing again! Ugh, that is THE worst!"
Sunny blinked and nodded, smiling sheepishly. I'm starting to see where the "don't think about it, it's just Pinkie Pie" saying came from. Confusion aside, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh Diane, if only I knew you existed, I would have transferred to CHS without a second thought!"
Unbeknownst to Sunny and Pinkie Pie, the two weren't alone. The eavesdropping Coco kept her distance behind the corner, and left without making herself known after she thought she heard enough.
"You can still transfer, just like Sci-Twily did!"
"Tempting... but I don't think CHS can survive two Shimmers," she chuckled "besides, I can't leave Coco behind, not after all we've been through. She would be kinda lost without me." She paused, then smiled sheepishly as she added. "Though not as lost as I would've been without her." Few seconds later she coughed and regained her usual attitude. "But if you're ever having another party..."
"You're already invited!" Pinkie happily announced, shoving a few envelopes into Sunny's hand.
Sunny raised an eyebrow at at least half a dozen invitations that had both her and Coco's names on it. She opened a few of them. "Diane, those are blank cards."
Pinkie shrugged. "That's because I don't know what the party will be for until I make it!" She announced with a bright smile.
Sunny snorted. Just Diane being Pinkie Pie... heh, I'm already getting used to it.

After several more rounds of dancing and one giant chocolate cake, everyone was much too tired to do anything stamina consuming, but too buzzed on the sugar to call it a day just yet, which is why they reverted to the final entertainment piece for teenagers: video games! They sat on the floor, taking turns in playing a four player fighting game about mascots from different games beating each other up with cartoony weapons. Coco politely stepped away and observed the rest from the safe distance of the couch, petting Spike as he really grew fond of her lap over the course of this evening while she was enjoying having a dog for a while as well. It was a lot less stressful than playing a game she claimed to have never played nor having any interest in playing. In truth, back home she still had three gaming consoles and all four installments, the one currently being played included, and has beaten all of them multiple times, including finishing all the Nightmare difficulty challenges, except the third one which still has 99,9% completion rate because getting Platinum trophy on a Rainbow Bridge without losing less than half life and not using super moves was completely impossible, bugged or otherwise put into the game by a frustrated programmer who wanted to spite the players for not getting lai-
Coco shook her head. No, bad Coco! Happy thoughts! Concentrate on the cute doggie! Head stroking intensified, which lead to one of the cutest possible dog sounds she never found on any cute animal compilations. Her smile grew as the stress slowly evaporated from her body and mind. The Puppy Therapy actually works! Who knew?
With her spirit slightly raised, she looked at her criminally unskilled friends who wouldn't survive five seconds with he-I SAID HAPPY THOUGHTS, DAMNIT! playing the game together. Of special note was Sunny and Pinkie Pie, last two survivors, running around the stage frantically searching for a weapon, slowly getting closer to the time limit, crying and screaming over any small move, while the rest of the crowd cheered them on.
Just because they get along doesn't mean they, well... It's not like a childhood friend from before amnesia always wins in the end, right? As the petting intensified even more, Spike didn't realize there was a way to be more relaxed. O-of course they get along. Pinkie Pie gets along with everyone, if her MyStable profile is to be believed. Her fingers started getting sore from scratching the purple fur. She sighed heavily, slumping on her back, trying to think of dresses, her usual happy place whenever she felt awful in pre-Sunny era. Except all the designs had different shades of pink, some of them even had parts made out of whipped cream!
Not too far away from her, Rarity looked at her and didn't need to read her mind to guess what was going inside of her. I wish I could do something to help. Her mind blanked for a second, before a sly grin appeared on her face. Ideaaa~! She leaned over Applejack and whispered something, getting a confused stare at first, until it turned into a grin. The two split up and relayed the plan to Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, both of whom had similar reactions. Once the battle was over and Sunny went into gloating mode, they approached Pinkie Pie as well. All five of them together looked at Coco, then Sunny, Sunset and Twilight, dastardly plan growing inside their collective mind.
A few moments later...
Pinkie Pie gasped loudly. "Ohmygosh, I totally forgot the thing-a-ma-jig!"
Sunny raised an eyebrow. "A what now?"
She felt Applejack's hand on her shoulder. "It’s Pinkie Pie, don't ask." She said, shaking her head.
"It's in my room! I need some help!" Pinkie said then grabbed Sci-Twi's and Coco’s hands, waking up the latter from her trance.
"Wha-what?" Coco only yelped as she was forcefully removed from the couch, while Rarity caught Spike.
"No time to explain!" Pinkie easily pulled the two with her, no matter how much they resisted.
Sunny stood up and walked to them. "I'll come with you-"
"NO!" Fluttershy yelled quietly but assertively. "I-I mean, I w-wanted t-to, uhm, uh, braids! I wanted to have my hair b-braided, b-but..." She looked at her other friends, who instantly caught up and joined in.
Rainbow Dash cracked her knuckles. "I'm all sore from the gaming. Plus, I'm bad at hair styling."
"I would love to, but as you can see," she raised a grumpy, recently woken up Spike up "my hands are occupied."
Applejack looked around in panic, before noticing some leftover cake with cream still on it and slammed a hand right into the slimy mess. "Mah hand’s all messy!"
Sunny blinked, looking at the big, pleading stare of Fluttershy, which somehow prevented her from turning her gaze away. She swallowed and nodded. "Sure. Braiding sounds fun. And not even remotely suspicious." She noticed almost everyone in the room glaring at her with a vicious smile. Except Spike, who was mostly annoyed but not opposed to being held by Rarity, and Sunset, who was just as confused as her. Nothing suspicious. At. All.
---
"What exactly are we looking for?"
"I'll know when I see it!"
"And how are we supposed to know if we find it?"
"W-well, uhm... keep looking!"
Coco and Twilight stood at the entrance to Pinkie's room for a while longer as the party girl kept slowly looking through her shelves, boxes under her bed and other places, emphasis on slowly. They looked at each other and shrugged, before joining in the search for... something.
"Any idea what this is about?" Coco asked.
"No clue. Last time she acted so suspicious was when they threw me a surprise birthday party and had to carry the giant cake to the living room without me knowing. But I can safely say they're not going to steal your books and hide them in the men's bathroom. If only because you didn't bring any books, and both bathrooms are unisex..." she shook her head. "F-forget I said anything! I-I was j-just-"
Coco smiled and put a hand on her shoulder. "Upper Crust got to you too?"
Twilight stared with her mouth agape. "H-how did you... oh, right, you're from Crystal Prep. I keep forgetting that."
"It's okay. She was just toying with me, I mean, us, because she's a rich kid from high society and she thought she had to dominate over someone. But recently, she just... stopped. I thought she got bored with me, or she felt threatened when I stood up to Suri, but now that I think about everything, it all stopped around the time of Friendship Games. I guess the whole Midnight Sparkle versus Daydream Shimmer shook her into a better person... thanks for that, by the way."
Twilight went silent for a while. "You're welcome... I guess." She said as her hands grabbed the handles of the middle drawer of a shelf, when suddenly Pinkie Pie slammed her hand on it, spooking Twilight away from it.
"Not this one!" Pinkie said quickly, smiling brightly, even as her face got a few shades more red and a few beads of sweat formed on her forehead.
Twilight blinked, before tilting her head and asking. "Why not?"
Pinkie's mouth scrunched, as the redness and sweat intensified. "B-be-because, th-that's where I... I... hold... my... my..."
"Your what? I can't hear you."
"My... my... underwear... and stuff"
Pause.
Coco and Twilight blinked once, before squealing and jumping away from the drawers that Pinkie was so uncharacteristically desperate to protect. They turned away, whistling while examining a part of the room far, far away.
Pinkie sighed with relief, then noticed someone walk by her opened door. The usual cheer returned to her as she shouted. "Maud, hey Maud!"
When called, Pinkie's older sister entered the room, wearing a long, grey night gown, along with a face that gave Sugarcoat a run for its money in emotion hiding category. "What is it, Pinkie Pie?"
Pinkie beamed brightly, as she pulled Coco and Twilight before her. "Girls, did you know that Maud writes her own poetry?"
"N-no, I wasn't awa-"
"And I bet they would love to hear it! Right girls?"
"A-actually, weren't we looking for-"
"See how excited they are? So excited they can barely talk!"
Maud looked at the two confused girls for a while, her stare sapping any ability to refuse. She nodded and turned away. "Wait a moment." Then she left the room.
Pinkie wasted no time and pushed the two onto her bed. "You two are so lucky, this is gonna be awesome!"
Coco blinked and looked at Twilight, who could only offer a confused shrug. They didn't wait long before Maud came back, holding several printed pages in her hands. Pinkie Pie joined them on the bed, while Maud started reciting.
"Rock. You are a rock..."
---
Ten minutes later...
"...and that is why. A rock you will be. Always." Maud lowered the pages. "This is the end."
"WOOOHOOO!" Pinkie Pie cheered loudly and clapped her hands, one of which was already covered by a giant, grey foam finger that said 'Maud Pie #1'. "That's my sister over there!"
Right next to the relentlessly cheering pink girl were two other whose expressions were limited to mouths slightly opened and eyes wide awake, unblinking. It took them a few seconds to say anything.
"That was... something else." Coco said slowly.
Twilight nodded slightly. "I will never look at rocks the same way again."
"Woohoo! One more!"
"NO!"
"I-I think we should be going back," Twilight said, smiling sheepishly at Maud's stone cold (lack of) expression "w-we still haven't found the... thing..."
Pinkie Pie discreetly checked her watch, then nodded. "Yeah, we can go back now."
Maud stood where she was for a while. She blinked. "Don't stay up too late."
As her sister left, Pinkie turned to the other two. "Okie dokie, that should be enough. Let's go back!"
The two looked at each other then back at Pinkie. "What about the 'thing'?"
Pinkie shrugged, bouncing away from the room. "I forgot what it was!"
As the pink bouncing one left the room, the two girls gulped loudly.
---
Once downstairs, they encountered an unusually giddy Rarity standing in the doorway to the living room, clearly blocking their path.
Coco swallowed and smiled nervously as she asked ."So, is this the time you announce that you're all actually evil and wanted to distract me while you defeat Magical Girl Sunny?" Please don't be true, it’s just a joke!
Rarity giggled and waved her hand. "Oh, now don't be silly darling. If we had the intentions or means to defeat Sunny, we would’ve done so long ago!"
Coco rolled her eyes. "Sure."
"We would've just drugged your food and drinks and waited until Sunny's guard was lowered (which was all the time, mind you) and struck her with our anti-magic gauntlet," she tapped her chin to think "that's actually not a bad plan. Oh well, you should be glad we are the heroes here." She smiled brightly, clearly enjoying Coco's eye twitch. She coughed and stepped aside. "We prepared a 'friendly' surprise. I think you'll find it... quite enjoyable."
Few unsure, nervous steps later, Coco and Twilight found themselves back in the living room and stopped almost as soon as they found what they were hiding. Inside, were two Sunset Shimmers, dressed in the same exact, beautifully crafted long, shining purple dress, with long skirt with various flower patterns, long, wide sleeves and an opening just above the chest, which was just wide enough to give a sneak peak at the cleavage, but not enough to be slutty. Their hair was also styled similarly into twin drills, adorned with matching purple ribbons.
However others reacted, Coco needed a minute to regain control over her jaw and wipe some saliva from her mouth (and thank heavens nobody noticed... except maybe Rarity, but she was in on this anyway). Once she recovered her senses, she couldn't help but admire more than just the girl she had a crush on. And the one who looked exactly like her, but somehow didn't trigger the same reaction. The dress was very reminiscent of some of the designs she made for Magical Girl Sunny, except they were way too long, while her own used mostly mini skirts to accommodate for the much needed mobility. A final form, perhaps? She shook the stray thought away, breathing heavily to keep her heart from pumping too much blood into her head and causing a severe nosebleed (it has happened before!).
Rainbow Dash jumped in between the two Sunsets with a remote raised at her mouth level. "Welcome to the second ever 'Which is which' contest! The rules are simple," she pointed her hand at the two highly dressed girls "all you need to do is guess which Sunset Shimmer is your Sunset Shimmer! You have only one try though, so make it count!"
Seeing Coco's confused (and no doubt twice as charmed) face, Rarity rushed with an explanation. "I figured we could have some fun, seeing as we have a rare opportunity of having two copies of the same person in one place! And to be able to do it again, such luck!"
Coco blinked again, as a thought crossed her mind. She turned to Twilight, who smiled sheepishly.
"They did the same thing to me back when Princess Twilight came to visit," she crossed her arms "I should've known."
"And since both of you have known your respective Sunsets for roughly the same time (Twilight has a few weeks head start, but Coco lives under the same roof, it should balance it out), you were chosen to participate!"
Pinkie jumped in before them. "And the winning pair gets 'super special winning cupcakes only ever made for weird one-off competitions like this'!" Pause. "It's a working name."
"But, to make it more challenging," Rainbow interjected "both Sunsets are forbidden to talk. That would make it waaaay too easy!" She shrugged, earning a similar 'What is that supposed to mean' look from both Shimmers.
Twilight sighed deeply as she moved towards the Sunsets. "So this is how it feels from the other side... let's get this over with." She said nonchalantly as she began examining the models. She tried to make it look like she wasn't all that interested, but having lost the previous edition (or rather, Rainbow Dash lost for both of them) she was way too curious to try the 'longest name ever for a pastry' cupcake that Pinkie kept away from even her closest friends and family. That said, even having spent the entire evening with both of them and getting a good grasp at the differences in their personalities, from the outside the two Sunsets looked like photocopies of each other.
Then the devil is in the details! Fixing her glasses and activating her "Twi-Sense" Great, now Pinkie's naming convention is rubbing off of me too!. She tapped her chin as she walked in circles around the models, who tried to keep their composure despite being ogled from (almost) every possible angle. The audience, made out of Applejack and Fluttershy (now with braided hair!) with Spike sitting on her lap, held their breaths.
The obvious difference would be in their muscle structure, seeing as Sunny works out a lot more than Sunset, but they're all covered head to toes, so I can't see. However, her eyes flashed as a brilliant plan manifested. I distinctly remember that Sunny has been through a fire rescue today, during which she was scratched by a cat, which means... her eyes narrowed as she closed her face to one of them, making the other blush slightly, trying to avoid eye contact. Then she did the same to the other, who had a very similar expression. She went back to the previous one, then back to the second. And once again, going back and forth between them, until she realized the truth.
That's a really unnecessarily thick make-up!
"This one!" Coco calmly announced, pointing finger at the rightmost Sunset Shimmer.
The audience of three gasped. Rarity hummed, while Rainbow smiled slyly. "You sure? You have only one chance."
"I'm sure. This is my Sunset," she announced, almost instantly exploding with a blush as she corrected herself "I mean, the Sunset that I live with, uhm, Sunny! Shimmy!"
"Not gonna change your mind?"
"I'm certain."
"Hundred percent?"
"Yes."
"Hundred twenty percent sure?"
"Yes!"
Rainbow nodded, her smile growing and getting more smug. "Hehe... WRONG!" The audience gasped, but Coco didn't budge. "Your Sunset is over there. Welp, sorry to say that, but you lost, so the winning cupcakes goes to-"
"No, I'm not wrong."
"Huh?" Rainbow raised an eyebrow. "Y-yes you are."
"No I'm not."
"You are!"
"Am not."
Rainbow groaned and walked to Coco to look down on her in the eyes. "Yes you are wrong! This isn't your Sunset Shimmer and that's that!"
Coco's eyes narrowed, as she looked back and didn't relent. "No. I'm. Not!" She stomped for emphasis.
"Oh give it up, Rainbow!" The 'rightmost' Sunset Shimmer said, using the typical, Sunny tone they got used to. "I told you she can't be fooled."
Rainbow growled for a while before she turned away and slowly walked to join the audience on the couch, muttering something to herself on the way.
Sunny laughed. "Easiest five bucks ever!"
With Rainbow Dash out, Pinkie Pie quickly assumed the role of a referee and raised both Sunny's and Coco's hands up. "And the winners are (drumroll please) Shimmy and Pommy!"
"Pommy?"
"It suits you."
They got their well deserved standing ovations from the crowd, including some from a slightly bitter Rainbow Dash, keeping her sportsmanship up, and even from Twilight, losing the opportunity to taste victory for the second time in her life (shoulder patting from Sunset helped only a bit).
Rarity smiled as she observed the two winners sharing the enjoyment of tasting the 'winner cupcakes'.
I did my part. The rest is up to you, miss Pommel.
---
It wasn't until a few hours after the 'contest' that the mass epidemic of yawning overcame the group to the point that they had to call it a day and roll out the sleeping bags. The room fell completely silent, save for an occasional snoring. Several hours in, Coco's eyes shot open, then she sat up.
Toilet.
One unspoken action later, she left the bathroom and yawned, the allure of a surprisingly comfortable floor pulling her back into the room, until she stumbled on some small, metallic object that rolled away as she accidentally kicked it. She went to pick up what was an empty can of some sorts. Whipped cream? How did this get here? She was about to shrug it off and put it somewhere so she could dispose of it in the morning, when another can rolled over in her direction, some cream still pouring out of it. She looked at the path leading to the kitchen and noticed a few more inside as well. After she made a few steps, she started hearing some noises coming from inside, though she couldn't quite place them. It sounded like... slurping?
Is someone having a midnight snack?
She went inside to investigate, the sounds getting louder and started resembling some high pitched, familiar voices. Before she truly went inside, she stopped as she stepped on something soft. She picked up what turned out to be a shirt, though she couldn't tell any details in the dim lighting. It seems awfully familiar. She looked down and found matching pants just nearby. She swallowed. What the hell...?!
The voices got louder and clearer to the point of becoming coherent.
"Mmmmm, that's so good!" Said a voice that she was all too familiar with.
Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. S-sunny?
"How do you like my pie, Shimmy? I have plenty more, juuust for you~"
As a byproduct of her Imagination running its course, Coco's head reached boiling temperature. They're just eating a pie, they're just eating a pie, they're just eating a pie...
She wanted to run away, but instead walked inside and turned just around the entrance. First, she saw a pair of panties and a bra lying nearby. She paid them no attention, instead locking her eyes at the pair of girls. Pinkie Pie sat on her knees, her hands and back leaning on the wall, dressed in what could be best described as an improvised edible bikini made out of whipped cream. Sunny sat on her fours just next to her, nibbling on the parts of the improvised edible bikini made out of whipped cream!
A faint, white noise came out of Coco's mouth, grabbing the attention of the two girls.
"Hi Pommy!" Pinkie beamed happily, absolutely unashamed of losing a part of her cream bra. "Do you want some Pie? I have plenty for everyone!"
White noise intensified.
Sunny pulled away, licking some cream of her lips. "Come on Coc's, you have to try this!"
"You came in just in time," Pinkie said, slowly spreading her legs apart "for the cherry topping!"
Coco had a heart attack and died.
"HAAAHHH!"
Coco shot up from her sleeping bag with a loud gasp, sweat pouring all over her body. She breathed heavily until her heartbeats normalized and the danger of cardiac arrest was over. She looked over the rest of the girls in the room, all sleeping soundly, none of them waking up due to her sudden panic attack. She glanced over to her left, where she sighed with relief to see Sunny sleeping happily, no Pinkie Pie or whipped cream in sight.
Just a dream... After giving herself a few more moments to calm down, she plopped on her back once more. Few minutes of staring at the ceiling later, she sat down again. There's no way I can fall asleep now!
She went to the kitchen, wary of the wild clothing and stray cans of cream lurking nearby. Once safe inside, she grabbed an empty glass and filled it with tap water. She took a single, refreshing sip, then another, before splashing some of the cold water on her face.
"Towel, where's the towel..." She said, half blindly inspecting the nearby area with her hand.
"Here you go, Pommy!"
"Thanks, Pinkie!" She started wiping her face with the towel. "PINKIE PIE!" She suddenly jumped away from the pink girl, who smiled at her, used to people reacting weirdly around her. Her heart was about to stop endangering her life, but not before she noticed her holding something in her hand.
"Want some pie?" Pinkie asked, raising the can of whipped cream up.
"NO! I, I mean, n-no thank you, I'm good..."
Pinkie shrugged and went to the fridge. "More for me!" She pulled out a tray of a half eaten pie, sat down at the table and started eating it straight out of the tray with a fork, applying an unhealthy amount of cream on every bite.
A few seconds later, after she was sure it was reality this time, she sighed and took another sip from her glass. This party needs to stop, like, yesterday! My poor heart can't take it anymore.
How about growing some spine, for once?
Shut up, Heart! That's not the point! She leaned over the counter and looked into her half empty glass of tap water, once in a while stealing a look at Pinkie Pie slowly chewing on each bite.
This is the first time you two are alone. You should talk to her!
Coco shrugged. About what? If she and Sunny are into each other, it's none of my business. She took another, long sip from her glass. Sure, I don't even know if there's anything happening, but what am I supposed to do? I can't just walk to her and casually ask-
"Hey Pommy, are you and Shimmy dating?"
Coco spat out her water onto the floor and cocoughed a few times, trying to regain composure. "Wh-what?"
"Are you and Shimmy dating?" Pinkie calmly repeated. "I wasn't sure, but you definitely look like a couple that's over the whole 'holding hands and announcing it to the entire world' phase and moved into the steady 'yes we date and kiss, but we'll spare you the details', but still understand each other without words and act slightly jealous over anyone who gets close, like how Sunny kept getting annoyed at Rainbow Dash when she kept insinuating that you're seducing Fluttershy and Rarity, but she kept quiet about it to save face, but I didn't want to assume anything, because I know how it feels when people treat you like a lesbian just because you cling to your best friends, who just happens to be female."
Coco blinked. "And you're not?"
"Nope."
"Oh." She wiped the sweat from her forehead and took another sip of her water. I was worried over nothing.
"I'm bisexual, I go any way I want."
Coco spat her water again, coughing even harder than before.
You brought this on yourself.
SHUT UP, BRAIN!
"You okay there, Pommy?"
"Y-yeah, just fine..." She said in between smaller coughs, putting the glass back on the counter and walking far away from it.
Pinkie nodded and took another bite of the pie. After slowly chewing and swallowing it, she asked again. "So, are you two dating or not?"
Swallowing, Coco looked around for an escape route. It was over there, nothing blocked the path, she was free to run away. As if. "N-no... we're not dating... or anything like that..." She ended the sentence with a huge sigh.
There was a moment of silence between the two, interrupted only by slow chewing. After swallowing, Pinkie said. "Sorry."
Coco leaned over the counter and after a while asked. "W-what about you?" Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. "I-I mean, you've been reunited with you long lost friend after almost a decade, and she's a superhero. That's kinda like a fairy tale." Stop, shut up! "It's only natural that you'd f-fall..." Don't say anything! Stop right now! "...f-for her..."
Pinkie tapped her chin and hummed loudly, slowly thinking.
"Nah!" She answered suddenly, shrugging.
Coco blinked. "W-what do you mean 'nah'?"
"I'm not into her all that much. I mean, sure, she's been a big part of my childhood and I missed her all this time and I'll be lying if I didn't have some fantasies with her back in the day, or even just recently, but I get wet dreams about my friends from time to time, so it's not a big deal."
Coco's eye twitched. Brain, do me a favor and erase the last thirty seconds.
No promises.
"I like her alot, but not enough for hand holding walks on the beach, kissing under the moonlight or kinky whipped cream roleplay," she said, missing a quiet 'meep', "so go ahead, don't worry about me."
The meeping grew louder, as Coco instinctively flushed her hands before her while waving her face (or something like that). "Th-that's n-not, I'm not, I do-don't... ugh..." her hands and face fell down "why do I even bother hiding it..."
"Hiding what?"
"Nothing," she snorted "nothing at all." She hit herself on the forehead, smiling weakly. I'm starting to think Sunny might be the last person unaware. Then again, if she realizes it and didn't do anything until now, that could possibly mean that she-
"Aaaaand sent!" Pinkie happily announced, holding her phone in her hands.
"S-sent what?"
"So, remember when you were changing into pajamas with Fluttershy back in the bathroom and the rest of us didn't mind having all the girls naked around each other, even if most of them were in some sort of underwear 99% of the time? So, I may or may not have snapped a few completely safe for work but saucy underwear pictures as a joke and then Pinkie Promised to never publish them online or give to anyone that wasn't at this party, soooooo..." she paused, looked around with a goofy smile, then added in a hushed tone "check your email!"
For a moment, nothing happened. A few seconds later, it didn't seem like anything in the universe went at a different pace than usually, but inside parts of Coco Pommel's body begged to differ, as plenty of bodily functions went haywire at the same time. All the sweat pores opened up, blood cells turned the nitro on and went over the body in record speed and imagination suddenly got inspired to draw around a hundred pictures and fifty medium sized novellas, all starring our favorite sun themed Magical Girl. And all of it was smut.
"You're welcome, Pommy." Pinkie Pie beamed and went back to the pie once again.
"N-NO, I'M NOT!" Coco screamed, pointing a finger at Pinkie. "THIS IS A CRIME! VOYEURISM! BREACHING OF PRIVACY!"
Pinkie Pie shrugged. "They said it was okay if we had them. In fact, Shimmy posed for a few of them, and she's very photoge-"
"NOT HELPING!"
"I especially like the one where she leaned in just low enough that you could see her clea-"
"PINKIE PIE!"
Pinkie rolled her eyes and snorted. "If you don't want them, just delete the email."
"I will! First thing I do when I come back home!"
Sure you will.
SHUT UP, BRAIN!
"Sure you will."
"Shut up, Brain! I mean, Pinkie!"
After a moment passed, Pinkie Pie snorted and started laughing. Coco rolled her eyes and couldn't help but join her as well, the feeling of uneasiness nowhere to be seen, heard or felt.
"Actually, I'd like some of that pie, if you don't mind."
Pinkie nodded, reached out to her hair and pulled out some long object and tossed it to Coco. She caught the item and looked at it confused. Upon further inspection, she recognized it as a metal fork, tightly wrapped in see through foil and bubble wrap. She gave Pinkie a confused, one eyebrow raised glare, which she answered with a shrug.
"Rarity demanded it. Apparently it's not sanitary to keep kitchen utensils in your hair, even though I wash it every day. She can be such a weirdo sometimes!"
Coco tried to create a suitable response, but decided to let it slide, unwrapped the fork and joined the feast. And after an evening full of snacks and cakes, this was undoubtedly the best.
---
After a good night sleep (for a change), breakfast and a long, complicated but surprisingly compelling game of domination in space, the party had to come to a stop. After a few heartfelt goodbyes, Sunny and Coco went towards the bus stop. While Sunny could've easily teleported them back home in no time, the two agreed they needed some fresh air and a moment of quiet. Though not a complete silence.
"This was nice," Sunny said, stretching her arms up into air "we really needed that!"
Coco nodded. "Yeah."
"We should totally do it again someday. I have so many rematches waiting for me, it's not even funny!"
"Mhm. Just not too soon."
"Oh, two weeks at least! I'm all partied out!"
Coco giggled at Sunny's 'drama queening' her so called tiredness. "Me too."
Sunny turned around and looked at Coco's face for a moment, smirking at her. Coco's face turned red, her head turning slightly away. "Wh-what?"
The glaring and smug smile intensified as the distance between the two decreased. "You know, you were surprisingly social for such a shy little girl."
Coco looked everywhere, except Sunny's eyes. "I-I don't know what..."
"Fluttershy, Rarity, Diane, Twilight, Spike... who else did you form a strong social bond with while I wasn't looking?"
"I-I, it's not like that!"
"Here I was, absorbed in the games and upstaging my doppelganger, and you were out there making contacts! And here I was afraid you'd be feeling lonely and out of place on a party. You're full of surprises... Pommy."
'Pommy' scrunched her mouth and crossed her arms. "Do I hear jealousy, Shimmy?"
Sunny's eye twitched a bit, her smile turning into a hostile frown. "How dare they take away my private possession! I didn't save you from Sally so you could befriend OTHER people!"
Coco 'humphed' as she turned her face away. "Well, I'm a free girl now, I'm allowed to have as many girlfriends as I want to, thank you very much!"
"Not as long as you live in my room! You're grounded until your Stockholm Syndrome kicks in and you become my obedient slave!"
"You can't order me around! You're not my real motPPFFTTBWAHAHA-" She stopped mid sentence as she burst into laughter. "I can't say it with a straight face!"
Sunny's expression didn't change. "Who said I was joking?"
Their eyes met for a moment, Coco wasn't sure what she was supposed to think at the moment... but then Sunny's face began breaking the facade and both exploded in shared, loud laughter. Once they stopped, they took a while to breathe and look at each other with nothing but earnesty.
"Parties are great, but," Sunny said, scratching the back of her head, blushing a little for a change "I still prefer when it's just the two of us."
Smiling brightly, Coco nodded. "Same here."
They smiled at each other, then resumed their walk for a few more minutes. Once they reached their empty bus stop, Sunny approached Coco, wearing an uneasy smile, as well as a light blush, while her eyes darted towards and away her. Coco swallowed deeply, suddenly having a very odd feeling.
"Coco, can I ask you something?"
Ohmygod!
"It might... no, it will sound out of left field, but there's no other way to say it, other than straight up."
OHMYGOD!
"You see, during the party, someone said something, and I've been connecting some dots and... and I've been thinking a lot about you... about us, living together, and... I must ask you, and don't take it the wrong way, but..."
OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!
"Are you... are you a boy, or a girl?"
...
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...what-"
"I-I mean, AJ, or was it Rainbow, made a joke about you being a boy in a drag, that's why you're so ashamed of female bodies and never let me see you naked, not that I have a problem with that or anything, and a lot of things started making sense, a-and I've been trying to find some counterarguments, b-but I've never seen you on a pool, or in any tight p-pants, and... and..." her forehead started sweating.
Coco didn't laugh. She didn't frown, or cry or looked any bit annoyed, instead showing no sign of any emotion of any kind. "What."
"I-I just didn't want there to be any secrets between us, so if, by any cha-chance you were, umm, I dunno, pretending to be a boy, trans or something else I can't come up from the top of my head, I just wanted to let you know I will a-accept you as you are, c-cause after all we've been through our bond c-can't be broken that easily..." she swallowed, noticing the subtle eye-twitching on her friend's face, which slowly turned more and more annoyed "n-not that it is true, which is okay with me, since I like the you I've known more than the you I was afraid you were, except I would've been okay with you no matter what because you're you, and... and... I'm not sure where I'm going with this..."
Coco's eye twitch continued. "Sunset Shimmer!" She growled at her, taking a few steps forward, forcing her roommate to raise her hands in defense as she backed off, until she almost fell over the bench at the bus stop.
"So it's a good thing we can just forget this conversation happened, right? Haha..." she smiled sheepishly, trying to avoid Coco's glare drilling a hole in her eye sockets. She swallowed, then raised her hand to her face "Oh, would you look at the time!" She said, checking the watch she didn't have. "I have to, uhm, save the... orphanage f-from, uhm, being taken o-over by, uh, aliens! Sun'ya!" Then she disappeared.
"HEY!" Coco yelled at nobody in particular. "I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU!"
Sunny appeared on a roof of an apartment complex a few blocks away and almost immediately found the nearest wall and started banging her head on it.
"STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! Me and my stupid imagination and my stupid mouth!"
She didn't have time to think of her new bumps, when she received a text message.
You can't hide forever!
She sighed heavily. "Ugh, Sunbeam!"
Except she didn't say Sunbeam.
Deleted scene: <after Pinkie talk>
Rainbow Dash leans on the wall and speaks to Coco right after she leaves Pinkie Pie.
"There's no stopping you, isn't there?"
"Wh-what do you mean?"
"Fluttershy, Rarity, now even Pinkie Pie! In one night! That's like, the academy record!"
"N-no, it's not like tha-" No, calm down. Breathe. Counter! "What, you're jealous I didn't pick you?"
"Buh-what? Pfft, as if!"
"You're cute and all, but you're not my type. We should stay friends."
"I-I'm not like that! I-it's not like I wanted to be hit on in the first place! Shut up! Your face is stupid!" She leaves, fuming.
Coco giggled. "Sure, sure."
---
Once again, apologies for sauciness to anyone who thought this story will be safe for work. To everyone else- you're welcome.
"Shut up, Brain! I mean, Pinkie!"
Come on. Do it. Post the video. You know you want to... (by the way, that was completely accidental and I realized it long after writing this sentence).
Let's talk about Fate Stay Night... actually, let's not. I love this franchise, but even skimming over the premise would take too long. Sufficed to say, it has magic and it has girls, but it is not a magical girls show by any means.
And then they made a magical girls spin-off.
At first, I thought it was a joke added as a bonus feature. Nope, it's an ongoing manga series, later adapted into FOUR seasons, fifth one probably coming as well (at least I hope).
Let's talk about Ilya, our protagonist. In Fate proper, she was a very complex, creepy yet likeable character that was mysterious, dangerous, yet almost impossible to hate due to the emotional baggage we learn about in the story as well as in the prequel.
This is NOT that Ilya. This one is (supposedly) a normal girl with normal life and normal friends, who gets roped into a world of magical adventures, which consists of hunting for magical cards that manifest as fierce warrior monsters (and before you compare it to Card Captor Sakura, that's where similarities end). Along the way she befriends Miyu, another magical girl, who unlike everyone else in the show is a completely original character made for this story (instead of being AU version of someone from Fate) and the two are adorable. Then she gets a quasi-clone of herself (don't ask) and she's adorable too (wait a second, did I base Sunny on Kuro?... no, can't be!). And then, the story gets weird. Like, really weird, but I'm totally into it!
Like I said, this show (and manga) has elements of Fate and some of its spirit, but is much lighter in tone. Also, and this will trigger A LOT OF PEOPLE, this show has a ton of fanservice. Let me put it this way- Fate had mature themes as plot points and integrated them fairly tastefully. This show has two little girls kissing each other from time to time, explained as "recharging mana". And no, it's not an innocent little peck on the cheeks. Yikes. Basically, ever wondered how it would look if the "just kiss already!" comments were made true? That's how. Don't watch it with your parents/kids/strangers in your room. I personally found them quite enjoyable and funny to watch, but I seem to be in the minority... is what I would say, but anime series don't get FOUR seasons for being obscure.
Other than that, the show is actually really good, the action is really decent especially in later seasons, story develops quite naturally and the characters are likeable. Although, if you're not a Fate fan like myself, you'll get lost very early on and won't get that giddy feeling of "I know that guy!" or "Holy crap, it's the spell I know!" or "Oh my god, it's Unlimited Blade Works theme!?".
In other words- watch Fate Stay Night (whichever, they're all awesome, even the first one which everyone seem to hate for no reason, I loved it, just don't watch the movies, they don't explain ANYTHING), and if you're in need of more Ilya (I don't blame you), then give it a shot.
Next time, if you thought magical girl version of Fate Stay Night was weird, boy, do I have a treat for you...

I've never imploded from laughter before buuuut.
Gamer Coco fits surprisingly well, and even serves as a secret source of malicious thoughts. It sort of fits someone so Fluttershy-ish when they don't have cuddly animals to comfort them after a long day.
Little glimpses into Sci-Twi's pre-Friendship Games life give an idea of how she could be so apathetic to the damage she was doing when she saw what her spectrometer did to people, I think. Being picked on doesn't exactly do one's empathy a lot of favors, and Sci-Twi was pretty callous in her own way.
One incident, no matter how clear in the moral, may not have been quite enough for everyone to learn their lesson...
Yes, that's the reason, and definitely not because of what the 'y' abbreviation for her first name sounds like...
As much as i liked fate/stay night, the game more then the anime, i absolutely hated illya. I have never seen a character so unlikeable to me ever. So much so i cant even stand the idea AU version of her. Normally ill give anything a chance but i cant even look at stills of her without my vision going red.
I... I don't know what to say about this chapter. I didn't hated it since I laughed really hard in some parts, but at the same time I really wanted to punch something since there are scenes in this chapter that are not my cup of tea when it comes to comedy.
So... Let's just leave it like that.
Excellent!
Ohhhh. Fate/Kaleid. How I love thee(Except the fanservicy bits(Except the ones with Irsiviel)). Fun fight scenes, enjoyably uses of the Kaleidoscope Magic (Multiple Excaliburs yes please), lovely character growth.
And Bazett. Animated Bazett. All of my yes.
As for season 5....sadly no. But we are getting a movie to wrap things up. Or at least that's my understanding.
One is a genius, the other's insane...
That dream sequence toes the line of staying T-rated, methinks.
Good one Sunny. Just as Coco was starting to feel that there may be hope for a relationship, you do that. That's really going to help her self esteem isn't it? "If she thinks I might be a boy she can't think I'm very pretty," and similar such thoughts are going to run through her head now. One step forward, two steps back. Are these two ever going to hook up!?
Head stroking intensified, which lead to one
and smiled nervously as she asked .
Great, now Pinkie's naming convention is rubbing off of me too!.
1. Led.
2. Extra spacing at the end.
3. Extra fullstop.
Speaking of Kaleid, yeah I also happened to think at first it was a joke by a year or so later I decide to watch. Whoo boy, those action scenes were intense. And of course there's the fan service but that's a whole nother thing entirely.
Think you based Sunny off of Kuro? Hmm... I think you based them off a fusion of Shirou and Kuro. For those that know who Kuro is, yes that was intentional.
Edit: I forgot about this section:
Most relateable sentence ever. Or at least, more recent in my recent plays on BnS.
going from your oversaturated work to this really caused me some mental whiplash
I have a question... Could you think of "Code: Lyoko" as a magical girl anime? Even if there are only two girls, they 'transform' a little. Not sure.
Also, not sure but... Do you know the anime "Ojamajo Doremi"?
I liked the story, waiting for the next chapter.
8177534 I like to stretch the definition a lot, but Code Lyoko really doesn't fit it, genders aside. I like the show and Code Sunny sounds like a great title for a chapter, though.
Yes, I watched Ojamajo Doremi on german TV (along with a few others), but I don't know how I could make a pun out of it. I'll see what I can do.
Stupid Coco, Sunny just admitted that she likes you.
Oh dear, both sides did a stupid.
Please work it out, Sunny and Coco! You're adorable together!
8193625
Or YuruYuri. Or maybe Lucky Star, though they weren't actually in a club.
Loving the story so far. You kept us guessing with who Sunny was, and even with everything revealed, there’s still an ongoing plot. Camp Everfree is going to be interesting. They’re already on their way to being a Magical Girl Squad. One of them has super powers already, the rest are friends that fill the various archtypes, whereas Coco is essentially the Naru or Tomoyo of the group.
If you’re looking for more Magical Girl material, there are two, possibly 3, series.
First is Flip Flappers. You ever see the movie Yellow Submarine. Now imagine that as an anime with two magical girls instead of four Brits. The premise is that Cocona is an average schoolgirl who doesn’t know what to do with her life. This changes when a red haired girl appears above her... literally. On a flying surfboard. She’s literally dragged into the world of Pure Illusion, where anything is possible, and you’ll swear someone spiked your drink with LSD. Here’s the opening.
Next is Magical Girl Raising Project. As the titular mobile game takes Japan by storm, Koyuki Himekawa is chosen by the game’s mascot to become a real Magical Girl. After meeting the other Girls within her town, they are told that, due to necessary cuts, only half of the 16 Girls will be allowed to keep their Magical Girl status. Things escalate from there. It’s like Madoka meets Battle Royale. Do yourself a favor and don’t do any research. Yes, people die. Even a casual search will spoil scenes for you. Here’s the catchy, but misleading as heck theme.
Lastly, Selector Infected Wixoss is a sort of a Magical Girl show. Yes, there’s Magic, and yes, the focus is entirely on female characters, some of which wear ridiculous outfits. The difference is that the focus is around a card game. Randomly, girls who open a WIXOSS deck are picked as Selectors who can battle to get a wish of theirs granted. The main character, Ruko, is one of these girls. The problem is, she doesn’t have a wish. She just enjoys battling others, which is heresy, considering if you lose 3 times, you lose your chance at getting your wish granted.
Again, this has some Psycological Madoka vibes. While Ruko and her friends are normal, their LRIGs (character cards) could fall into the Magical Girl genre. While it does revolve around a real trading card game, no knowledge of said game is necessary. The focus is completely on the characters. Battles (when they actually happen) usually take less then 10 minutes of an episode, as opposed to Yu-Gi-Oh, which details every single move between monologue. Here’s the first season’s theme.
I can see them doing that.
