Friendsgiving

When you're an alien immigrant, you don't really have the luxury of a family to celebrate the holiday's with. So, Sunset has gone years without a proper Hearth's Warming.

Usually she just eats Fruit Loops, Egg Nog, and Bourbon for her holiday meal and watches TV Specials in her sweatpants. Honestly, it's been pretty great.

Though this year, Rarity wants to mess with the status quo.

“That sounds…” Rarity bit her lip. “Well, no offense, but that kind of sounds like something that a divorced dad would do.”

You just can't write a story without a murder in it, can you, Gara?

Twilight nodded and finished opening the first one. It was a history book of some sort which talked about some medieval society that Sunset had never heard of. Some group called the Daevites. Clearly their history was brutal as there was plenty of weapons and blood on the cover.

Oh, boy. Better call the Foundation...

I like how you took a Y7 show and tossed it into realville, and made it believable. Well done.

(From an SCP internal memo)

"...finding and containing the new book remains a top priority. Oversight doesn't care how much nicer the Daevas have become since they discovered the Magic of Friendship: we're still going to suffer a reality-restructuring event if they survive past the early middle ages."

"“Name literally any other person who has a family who’s a dimension away,” Rarity chided, squeezing Sunset a bit tighter."

Half a dozen more supernatural entities banished to this dimension from Equestria, [1] five by Starswirl and one by Discord, which you haven't run into because Equestrian magic hasn't spread far enough from Canterlot High yet.

[1] Of course, that's only counting entities with still living relatives back home.

“Not even the slimiest chance,” Rarity teased.

Ok, after doing a double take, I am guessing you meant 'slimmest chance' right? I just imagined Sunset pelting Rarity with slime until she confessed to her idea lol

Might want to add the profanity tag since it blew through PG-13.

This was adorable! It's always nice seeing you write the girls just having fun together.

She took a sip of beer, sighing in relief. “That's really good piss water.”

I'm not even gonna wonder or question why sunset called the beer/alcohol piss water. 🙄

Rarity snorted. “Well yes, but not all of us were drinking by ourselves at sixteen, darling.”

Not to mention your really not supposed to drink til your 21. 😒

Rarity shook her head. “She’s as straight as an arrow. I don’t think she even had her first drink until graduation.”

That's what happened to me after I graduated high school, my parents thought it be great to celebrate with having a glass of champagne, and after 1 sip I regretted it, and tbh I'm not even sure I want to drink once I'm 21. I might change my mind maybe but I'll see what happens.

Sunset may have been prideful but she also knew when to admit that she was wrong. Having all her friends together, eating really unhealthy snacks, sipping hot booze, and listening to stupid Hearth’s Warming songs. It filled a very special place in Sunset’s heart that had been sorely missing this kind of thing.

Glad to see that sunset is enjoying it. 😊

“Girls,” she called as she stepped out of the kitchen nook with her reinforced beverage. “It’s fine. I didn’t really expect any of you to have me over for the holidays. It’s something meant to be had with your family and well…” She shrugged. “I’m not any of your family. I’m, perfectly fine with how things turned out” She forced her smile. “See? No hurt feelings!”

Sunset still sounds a bit sad in the way she put it.

Twilight leaned towards her and furrowed her brow. “I told you that I’d help tutor you, babe.”

Wait, are those two dating? The babe part was a bit of a guess if you ask me. 🙄

“Same old, same old,” Applejack explained.

That's rainbow dash for ya.

“Vegan leather?” Applejack asked. “Didn’t even know that kind of material even existed.”

Same here.

Before Sunset could react, she found herself surrounded by the other girls. They hugged her tight, holding her close to them. It was enough to etch out a little note of surprise from her.

Happy hearths warming sunset.
