Twilight and Sunset have been dating for months and practically live together already. Which makes it increasingly awkward that Twilight's family doesn't even know she is in a relationship yet.
Something that is quickly and easily resolved and clearly no grounds for panic.

Great chapter! I love the concept. Is Sunset also going to college/university or is it jus Twilight?

Thank you!
Sunset is just working right now, no courses for her, but it's a transitional period in her life.

"Oh. Oh!" There was a longer pause in which both of them were silent before she continued. "That's wonderful! When do I get to meet her?"

Velvet was little slow on the draw there. :rainbowlaugh:

I'm guessing it's just Twilight by the sounds of things.

Well, she is a Writer not a Drawer.

Oh gosh, you can see the awkward moments from a mile away...

In retrospect, high school was a cinch. Spend a few hours in class, a few working part time, and count the days until the weekend, or better yet the next holiday. Leaving countless days and hours to spend with friends, get sucked into hobbies, or fight rogue magic from a parallel universe.

Granted, the latter point was probably less common for most people. But it had been as much a part of Sunset's daily life as being a student. Until it also started to fade away with the rest of her school days.

Adult life didn't work like high school. Sure, she could count the days until her next free days, but working shifts was less consistent than the same weekly lesson plan, and responsibilities didn't stop when she made it home. And some weeks, she had to drag herself to work on Sunday, which felt like a particular act of cruelty.

I think these are great opening paragraphs. Their reflection on the passage of time and the transition to adulthood is very accurate.

Can't wait to see how this goes.

Here's hoping that this doesn't turn into a disaster when Sunset gets there.

Also, awww.

"I don't know? Sunset is almost perfect, but I'm heavily biased!"
" Almost perfect?" Rainbow Dash chimed in, lounging behind Fluttershy, barely in the shot.
"She leaves her clothes everywhere, she sweats easily, and she has this habit of cracking her knuckles that drives me crazy," Twilight explained flatly.

I'm not sure if a more Twilight statement could be written.

Awww, poor Sunny. Thankfully Rares is there to help.

The flow of this felt organic, natural. I have many questions, but for now I'll just catch up and see.

"Do I have--" Rarity stopped and turned back to her friend with a smug smile. "That's cute, darling. Who do you think you're talking to?"

Really Sunny? Really?

I think I know what happened here though. The words exited Sunset's mouth before should could stop them.

Glad things went well with the meeting.

Also, fun little shout out to all of the fan nicknames for Twilight.

"Why, should I be worried?" He crossed his legs and took a sip. "Twily is an adult, I don't need to approve of her choices. And I don't think you're bad for her."

If anything, these two brainiacs might be too good for each other.

Sunset snapped her fingers with confident inspiration. "Twiggles."

Hey! That's our word!

Ah, Zombiecide ... I've spent a number of evenings on that game ....

Don't you love a happy ending?

I know it wasn't a main part of the story but I really loved Spike in this!

Honestly, I never had any problems meeting the parents I'm a little disappointed in this in reality so many opportunities. We never got into using pet names but I still find them cute.

Maybe at some point in the near future I'll write a story on what it's like when you move in with somebody and have to deal with the give and take of spatial issues. Of course sometimes it can be fun even the arguments.

Lovely stuff throughout. And yes, of course these two would overthink this kind of event. :twilightsheepish: Thank you for a delightful read.

Not to mention, with everyone having different schedules and career plans, meeting with all of her friends was now exceedingly rare. Even getting more than three of them together for more than a quick chat over lunch seemed downright hopeless. They still shared in each other's lives constantly with video calls and text messages, but the distance between them was felt a lot more these days.

I felt the same when it came to my friends once we parted away after high school. :fluttershysad:

The call ended abruptly and Twilight stared down at her phone for a moment before ending it on her end as well.

Well, seems like plans have changed course. :unsuresweetie:

Morning shifts were slow, so Sunset checked her phone whenever she had a moment to herself. Twilight had messaged her twice already, first with suggestions about how to dress for dinner, then later with an apology for "telling her what to do", instead with a list of interests for each of her family members, sorted by priority.

She's sure taking this more serious than I thought. :unsuresweetie:

Sunset smiled and opened her arms for Pinkie to skip into. After a short hug, Sunset started changing out of her uniform while Pinkie changed into hers, as eager to get to work as Sunset was to get home. As she adjusted her top, she glanced down at her phone again, before putting it away in her pocket.

That's interesting. Sunsets working at the same place as pinkie. :twilightsmile:

"Do I have--" Rarity stopped and turned back to her friend with a smug smile. "That's cute, darling. Who do you think you're talking to?"

Never change Rarity. :ajsmug:

"She leaves her clothes everywhere, she sweats easily, and she has this habit of cracking her knuckles that drives me crazy," Twilight explained flatly.

All but that last one seems bad imo. :applejackunsure:

"I went to Crystal Prep with a Sunny. I'd rather not conflate you with her," Twilight stated flatly, before furrowing her brow. "And... could you not mention princesses and ponies while we're there?"

You never know. You might do it someday Sci Twi. :ajsmug:

"It's fine, he's cool," Spike said casually, waving it off with a paw. Shining chuckled and handed Sunset a can of beer before opening his own, sitting down on the other end of the bench.

Wait, he knows Spike can talk!?!? :pinkiegasp:

"Why, should I be worried?" He crossed his legs and took a sip. "Twily is an adult, I don't need to approve of her choices. And I don't think you're bad for her."

Great to hear Shinning. :twilightsmile:

Velvet chuckled softly and closed the distance between them, putting one hand on Sunset's shoulder and one on Twilight's. "That's sweet of you. But I really was just curious. I had no idea I was giving you a hard time until Twilight pointed it out to me. Besides, you're both adults. I don't get a say in this at all. I just want the best for my daughter."

Thx Velvet. :yay:

Velvet moved a bit closer and her arm came to rest around her, her other hand gently rubbing her arm. "You're part of this family now," she said, quiet but firm.

That was too close. :ajsleepy:
Still, st least Velvet made things better. :scootangel:

The bedroom was slightly smaller than the platform that had served as such in her old apartment, just enough for the bed, a dresser, and some shelves. But the numerous decorations made it feel cozy more than narrow. The fairy lights Sunset had put up ran along the headboard and between some of the photos pinned to the wall above it. Faintly glowing star stickers were dotted around the ceiling. Sunset's guitar stood in the corner, directly underneath two of Twilight's posters.

Glad to see they're living together now. :twilightsmile:

I must say, this was a nice little story on how Sunset meets Sci Twi's parents. I've seen similar stories like this and they're just as good as this was. :scootangel:
