People have had a lot of crazy ideas about unicorns over the years. Given the sheer quantity, it shouldn't be surprising when some of them turn out to be true.
It still is, but it shouldn't be.
An entry in Thousand Words Contest III, in the Slice of Life and Comedy categories, earning Bronze in the former. Rated Teen for teenage discussions of M-rated topics. All characters are 18, just to be safe.
Sunset: You're welcome
oi vey ^^
It IS pleasant to see you so closely match this story idea's size to your desired story length.
And the next sound out of her mouth was a bizarre string of phonemes like a horse trying to sneeze through a mouthful of peanut butter.
I like pony-reminders like this.
Well, that was delightfully silly.
Delightfully daft! I especially appreciate the magic sensation description. n_n
Low-key roasting Wallflower, eh?
Dash, Rarity, and Wallflower (who was never noticed)?
Huh. That explains the tags, etc. Good comedy!
That there's also strengths in the sensation... I wonder what that's about.
Lol the "no comment"-s!
What other things are undiscovered that are just waiting to pop up?

"Dash, Rarity, and Wallflower (who was never noticed)?"
Heh. Interesting. I would've bet Dash. Rarity, Twilight.

Nah, FoME is a hardcore SunLight Shipper.
Now Sunset probably does just innocently lay her head on her girlfriend's lap from time to time. But I doubt that would spark a coughing fit.
11944836
Ah, yes. I missed that clue! Well, if RariJack is a not-yet-thing, then I'd say Rainbow, Rarity, Applejack.
Usually if anyone's not a virgin, Pinkie Pie's the one, and Fluttershy subverting the expectations of the shy is somewhat common too.
LMAOOOOOOO
Yea Rainbow got played here. A good fun story.

fantastic cute little fic about Sunset having a virgin sense. I appreciate that she can smell Zephyr's incelness from across town thats specially hilarious
Let's all be glad that specific Equestrian magic never leaked through the portal.
As if Rainbow Dash wouldn't properly warm up and stretch before engaging in strenuous physical activity.
Regarding the comment section's speculation of the three: I don't remember whether FOME is a Rarijack adherent, but if he's taking cues from "Rollercoaster of Friendship" and one or two of the shorts, then by process of elimination, the three would be Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie.
Wait, which ones?
That was awesome.

Not going to make guesses or assertions about this whole debate, as it's none of our business - even Sunset realized that once she figured out what the others couldn't do - but I will say that Pinkie as Ace and/or Aro is an interpretation I have seen before. And, to be honest, I can very much see it.
I love this kind of EG Slice of Life/Comedy

Can attest to the 'unicorn phase' and I've never truly gotten over it either "glances at several unicorn plushies on desk and bureau"

Especially given my usual habit of novel-length ideas coming in under five thousand words.

Ponish is such an elegant language.

It's always fun to speculate on what magic feels like from the mage's perspective, especially when they're trying to explain it to people who've never had anything resembling the same experience.

When I first published the story, I was worried the "three virgins" line had created a bit of a Cow Tools situation in terms of giving just enough detail to spark far more speculation than I intended. I didn't really have specific girls in mind for who's what, but Undefined probably has the right of it.

ability.
Like the Astronomicon shining in the Warp, Sunset can always navigate by the light of Zephyr's sheer unf
While she can often back up what she says, there are times when Dash is all talk*; this situation seems to be just as good as any other choice in terms of an instance of that situation. (In other words: no, I don't think you were too hard on her. Now if she had claimed that her boyfriend lived in Caneighda, though...)
*Or as Applejack might put it, "all hat and no cattle".
You just have no. Idea. How much trouble that would've landed you in, if you developed a reputation for it.
Geez, save it for the bedroom, Twi.
That cover art is just
She's a slag, and she's a slag, and she's a slag, and she's definitely a slag.
"And when I turn the lights back on, I want to see all three of them right here on this table. If I do, no further questions will be asked."

The Astronomicon bit killed me. My sides are in orbit, thank you
This was a good read.
One thing... the Beard of a Goat thing. It is true in at least Sunbrust's case.
11945229
Vanhoover is canon IIRC?
11946106
I think so, but "I have a boyfriend/girlfriend in Canada" is a very old joke, and is essentially a way of saying that the love interest in question doesn't exist.
11945217
Its totally Dash, Rarity, Applejack, because AJ and Rarity are both old fashioned enough in their own ways to find 'saving it for marriage' romantic :D
But yea either set of 3 works imo
Cue Dash trying to get a threesome going with the other two...
Someday Rainbow. Someday. But Rarity going through a unicorn phase sure checks out.
Why do I get the feeling that Sunset was dying to get to be on the giving end of that phrase for once?
11945217
Tbh I actually think it's funnier that way.
Didn’t know what to truly expect going into this story but was pleasantly surprised. Rainbow being a virgin just adds a fun dynamic to the group with her being the butt of the jokes for once. Well done!
11946286
Except the whole "purity - no comment" line of dialogue hints to Rarity not being a virgin.
Reminds me a little of Terms of Forgiveness and Sci-Twi's misconceptions about unicorns in that story.
Another good one here.
11948148
Or hints at Rarity having totally gone unpure, could go either way since SunsetSense works in both directions
I love the idea that Zephyr Breeze is so tragically bad at “game” that she can use him as the equivalent of magnetic north.
honestly even a literal skeleton wouldn’t surprise me
lol that is our good ol’ Rainbow Crass
gottem
ahaha love how bad Rainbow is at lying
aww so true love politeness
ehehe classic beat
do love the irony of her being the Element of Empathy here, many such cases!
hoowee
ehehe and yes very fitting for EqG Rarity
auaugh love it
so true
gottem
indeed, the length of this idea fits the contest well! and yeah there is a bit of commonality between Rainbow Dash and Zephyr here in terms of why it is funny that they are “virgins”, as loathe as i or Rainbow would be to admit it. very fun stuff, thank you for writing!

I'm trying to picture the phonetic transcription for this pony word, and I can only assume there's a lot of velar or glottal consonants.
Hello! I reviewed this after the contest, so here's your overdue courtesy note. And this was fun. Teen sex comedies can have hard work winning me over, but this fic managed it. (Actually, like a few others I was surprised to see this placed for SoL and not Comedy.) And... oh, Twilight. I enjoyed this one.
