Muffins 3

Sunset woke up to a text from Rarity.

I can't wait to talk to you at school Monday.

Sunset sat up in bed and stretched. As she was yawning, her phone chimed again.

Of course, I wouldn't mind if you wanted to talk now. ;)

Sunset rolled her eyes and chuckled. She began typing.

I'm heading over to her place this afternoon. I left my jacket there last night and I figured we'd grab lunch.

oooh. Three dates in two weekends. Sounds like its going good!

I'd say so. We ended our night...nicely last night. :)

A lady doesn't kiss and tell, darling.

;)

EEEEEE

______________________________
Sunset started toward the girl’s house around noon. She decided to take her bike; she figured it would be fun to go riding together.

The girl stepped out of her house as Sunset pulled up. She was gripping Sunset’s jacket, wringing it as if it were a wet towel. Sunset pulled off her helmet and flashed the girl a smile.

“Hey, you. I figured we could go for a ride.”

“Hey,” The girl apprehensively approached Sunset. “So, I was thinking last night,” She was talking a bit slower than usual, as well. “And I was thinking...I’m not ready for this. You’re amazing, Sunset, and I want you to be happy, but...it can’t be with me.”

The girl held a stiff arm out to Sunset, handing her the jacket. She took it out of reflex. The girl stood there, shifting slightly from side to side, waiting for Sunset to say something.

Sunset stared at the girl. Her brain was frozen. Her fingers started tingling. She felt as if the ground was starting to rock back and forth. The girl looked away for a moment and Sunset was acutely aware that she was making her feel awkward. Sunset brought her hands up, half to test them and half to show her confusion. Finally, Sunset said the first coherent word that popped into her head, “Why?”

“It was just….too fast for me,” the girl shrugged her shoulders and looked off again. “I’m not ready to go where you are.”

“Okay,” Sunset turned her hands toward herself. “I can slow things down. It’s not like that would be hard to do.”

The girl focused both her eyes on Sunset’s eyes, “No, Sunset. That won’t work. Let’s just be happy with what we had and move on.”

“But…” Sunset dropped her hands back to her sides. Sunset could see it in the girl’s eyes. There wasn’t anything that would change her mind.

“Okay. I’ll go.”

Sunset put on her jacket and got on her bike. As she drove off, she realized her whole body was completely numb.

Author's Note:

;-;

This hurt me a bit to write.
I hope I did it justice though.

If you have any suggestions for people to go on dates with Sunset, let me know.
Our heroine isn't done with love yet

and thank you to EquestrianGuard for helping to make this chapter good.
Seriously, it was awful before I got the help.

Ouch! What the HELL! That, actually hurt! Good job though. But Damn, are we going to find why Muffins broke it off? I really don't think sunset was given the full story. Still, life works that way sometimes, all we're left to do is move on down the road to our next destination. But good job!
