> Sunlight Solace > by Silver Inkwell > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prologue Nova Star stared out at the sky just waiting for a chance and opportunity to redeem herself, she was just waiting for a chance to show she could be in charge and change and be in power and control. But it wasn’t about her attitude or how she handled and dealt with other people, it was more about her thoughts and ideas and opinions. She was very good with power and control. It was just that she had all these crazy ideas and theories about stuff and things that she just couldn’t prove were true, and she had tried to run off of them in her latest quest and mission when she thought that she detected magic as she and others called it now. And that was why she stared up at the sky, because she failed, she couldn’t prove she was right, and now everyone thought she was wrong, and she had failed too. And now she just wished for that chance and opportunity would come. But very soon enough it did now. Suddenly the sky lit up with a bright rainbow even though it was night, and then she smiled as she slowly pulled out her cell phone to call her boss now. “You should look out your window right now,” she said, “And please don’t argue, just do it, trust me, I think that you’ll like what you see there.” And with that said her boss did so. “I see the rainbow, yes, but it could just be special effects instead, or a really crazy light show, and why did you call me at this time of night for exactly? And why ask me to look out a window?” “I thought that you would believe it more if you saw it with your own eyes.” “Well you were right, but trust me, we’ll investigate this, but if it turns out to be a dead end then I am going to have some very serious words with me.” “Trust me sir, it won’t be,” she said smiling as she shut her cell phone off now. And with that said she smiled as she continued to stare out at the sky now. Very soon after the rainbow sky event they found out that it really was magic, and when they did they only decided to naturally promote her to the division to studying and containing magic and making sure that it didn’t hurt people either. And she started to assemble her team from the best people in the army, military, Navy Seals, Seal Teams, CSI, FBI, NSA, whatever. It didn’t matter what agency you were in, she could get to it if she wanted someone to come and join, but her only requirements were that they had to be ready and willing, after all, she wouldn’t force anyone to join against their own free will no matter what. And they did very well in studying and investigating magic having some of the best ‘experts’ on the subject material. But she always did want the people responsible for it, but she could never get to them. But luckily enough she finally figured out how she could after many years of failure now. Because she failed to prevent three events of magic ever since the rainbow sky night, but now hopefully she could finally infiltrate the group now instead. And that was because she had someone that was just perfect for the job. Because her new project was to find out who they were, why they did what they do, and also how, and finally to decide if they posed and threat to them. And she decided to call the whole entire thing Project Sunlight. She didn’t know why, she just felt that it was the right name to call it. And as for her very best agent, well she was taking this mission luckily enough, and she believed in magic, power, and control, and more importantly was always focused on the mission no matter what happened to anyone on the team, including herself. Her only flaw was that she could be cold, cruel and brutally honest at times, but Nova didn’t mind that too much if she could keep it in check. But she wouldn’t be alone even though she could do it herself. She would be followed by another agent just to make sure, but she would be working alone for the most part instead, and that’s just the way she liked it. And so that was why she called in her best agent for Mission Solace as she decided to call it for some reason. “Enter,” she said as she heard the knock. The girl entered the very dark dim room that obscured her face now. “What’s the target?” she said not even bothering to sit down now. “Them,” she said handing her a very thin file folder, “We just know their names, where they live, where they eat and shop and go and also who they will help and associate with, but not why or how they can do and use their magic.” “What do you want me to do? Study them? Kill them?” she said. “No, this isn’t a kill mission, this isn’t the military you know.” “I know, I was just curious if they were currently a threat now.” “Well they aren’t, you’re going to study and observe them from the inside, because you would fit in perfectly, I mean see this girl here?” she said pointing out to a particular girl. “Yes, I do, but why does she matter at all now?” “She’s the group leader, she’s the one you’re going to replace, but this one,” she said pointing to Twilight, “We want you to get very close to this one now.” “Why?” she said, “Is she like the secondary leader or something like that?” “Yeah, something like that, but we think that she can explain magic, she is, or rather was a scientist until she decided to join their group instead.” “Well then, I’m not opposed to getting close to a girl,” she said smiling now. “The mission is called Solace, and please don’t ask me why.” “You know that I never do,” she said smiling right now then. “Yeah right, anyhow you start next Monday, okay?” “Alright, fine, I was just about to ask that, but how do I get in exactly?” “Well there’s a dance this Saturday, and we think that we can cause enough chaos and confusion where you can take her place very easily enough.” “Alright fine, I can work with that, but where’s the dance exactly?” “Their High School very surprisingly enough,” Nova said very calmly now then. “Really? They’re still in high school? How young are they exactly?” “Very young, which could make them very potentially dangerous enemies or very powerful allies depending upon how we play our cards, so please don’t screw this up, you have to succeed, you have to do it for the agency.” “You know that I always do, but thank you for this mission, Nova.” And with that said she started to leave before Nova stopped her very suddenly now. “Really?” she said very surprised now, “No questions about the girls?” “Trust me, I would rather not know anything that’s not included in this file,” she said, “Besides, I’m sure any logic or reason can be replaced with magic instead, but I think the less that I know the less that I’ll be confused, and the less that I’m confused the more I can focus and not waste time asking silly stupid questions, but then again, this is a question mission so just maybe I should know the reason why, but then again, maybe not too much either.” “Good girl, now then you are dismissed to your regular normal duties and studying that file folder until you have memorized it until further notice.” “Yes, I will,” she said as she left not even bother to call her captain or leader or commander instead, but then again, she could be very rude at certain times. And with that Nova went back to work doing her ‘normal’ and ‘ordinary’ job. But as for the strange mysterious girl, she walked down the hallway as she stared at a picture of herself in a crowd of six other strange mysterious and very powerful humans. And from their positions and posture she could guess that these were very close friends, and that would work out very well for her. “Well then, Sunset Shimmer, I guess that you’re my mark,” she said as she stared at the picture of a human who looked exactly like her. > The Dance > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter One: The Dance I took a very deep breath in to calm myself down. Okay Twilight, I thought to myself now, you’ve got this. I can totally do this, I mean it’s not like you haven’t been to a dance before. Oh wait, I really haven’t that much at all, ever. But at least it can’t be as bad as I think it is, right? I mean a cute boy asks me to a dance in the High School, it can’t be that serious, can it, right? Sure thing, I mean it could be a lot worse I guess. And that was when it got worse, or better, I don’t really know for sure. “Hey there Twilight,” Sunset Shimmer said walking up to me now, “What’s up?” “Oh, nothing too much,” I replied back very casually trying to stay calm now. “Right,” Sunset said, “You’re lying, you’re obviously nervous about something.” “Well of course I am! This is the first time that a boy has ever asked me to a dance before! Even if it is just a high school one!” I shouted out very loudly now. “Calm down Twilight, and doesn’t Everfree count as an invitation?” “Well no, it wasn’t planned months in advance, and Timber actually didn’t ask me to it before, he just came up to me during the dance, very big difference.” “Sure thing, if you say so, but hey, it doesn’t always have to be a boy that asks you out,” Sunset said looking at me straight in my eyes. “Uh what do you mean?” I said starting to get the feeling of a hidden deeper message and theme and idea that I couldn’t spot yet within her words now. “Oh, nothing too much, I’m just saying that you should be open to the idea that girls can like you too,” Sunset said trying to be casual now. “Well I guess so, I mean we are friends, right?” I said very nervously now. “Sure, best friends, right,” she said smiling as she emphasized two words. “Wait, are you saying what I think you’re saying?” I said. “Well it depends what you’re thinking about,” Sunset said smiling. “Oh, Sunset, I didn’t know that you thought like that.” “Hey, you don’t know what I am thinking about,” she said now. “Well I don’t think that it’s anything good,” I said trying to hide my obvious disgust now, but it was no use as my face clearly expressed it right now. “Oh come on, it’s not as bad as you might think,” Sunset said smiling. “How long?” I said, “How long have you had these feelings for me?” “Ever since I met the pony Twilight again, but honestly I think the feelings that I have for her conflicted and mixed with you, so yeah, it’s really complicated.” “Oh,” I said very shocked and surprised now, “So now what exactly?” “Well, I was wondering maybe if we could dance after you dance with him?” “Uh, sure thing, I see nothing wrong with dancing, but I’m honestly sure if I am completely comfortable with your feelings not that I don’t like lesbians.” Sunset blinked in surprise, “I’m honestly shocked that you know that term.” “Oh please, just because I was a nerd and geek didn’t mean I didn’t know what problems the world faced and had, in fact I might have even known more about them and how to actually fix them, but of course your opinion doesn’t matter when you’re just a high school student, but then again, you’re really never noticed either, but I guess that I can at least accept your feelings and still respect you as a person even if I may not support or agree with it yet.” “Maybe some time with me will change your mind,” she said smiling now. “Maybe, but let’s just take this slowly, okay?” I said now. “Okay, fine, alright, you win, but don’t blame me if you fall in love.” “Trust me, I won’t,” I said as I stepped onto the dance floor now. I danced with Timber Spruce who had invited me to dance with him, but as I danced my mind couldn’t get off to what I just heard. Sunset Shimmer, my best friend, was, well she was in love with me, or had feelings at the very least. And I just couldn’t get off that fact no matter what I tried to do about it. “Hey there Twilight, are you okay?” Timber said to me while we danced. “Well no, not exactly,” I said looking back at Sunset very differently now. “Well what happened exactly? You can tell me,” he said smiling now. “Thanks, but I don’t think I should, it’s boring girl stuff,” I said lying now. “Right, you’re a really horrible liar Twilight,” he said as he spun me around. “Yeah, I know, people keep telling me that,” I said now. “Well guess what, you can trust me to keep any secret, I mean I have seen magic take over the mind of my sister and some pretty amazing awesome stuff too, but if you don’t want to talk about that then that’s fine I guess, really.” “Well it’s about Sunset Shimmer, she just told me that she has feelings for me.” “Oh,” he said very surprised and shocked, “Okay, but did she say it directly?” “She didn’t have to, she implied it, and she didn’t try to deny it either.” “Oh, well okay then, now you know that, but how do you feel about it now?” “Honestly, I don’t know, I’ve never had a girl like me before much less a guy.” “Well it’s not so bad, trust me, just follow your heart and you can never be wrong, after all, this is your happiness that we’re talking about here, and I can understand why you wouldn’t want to hurt her feelings if she is your best friend, but if you don’t want to start the relationship because you don’t support or even agree with it then you should probably tell her that right now instead.” “Well okay then, thanks a lot, I really needed to hear that,” I said. “You’re welcome, but if you ever need me remember that I’m just a tree hop and phone call away,” he said smiling as the song suddenly ended now. Once the song ended I decided to go over to Sunset now. “Finally, that took forever, I was starting to get bored waiting for that to end.” “Yeah, and I was waiting to talk to you,” I said pulling my arms close in now. “Hey, you can relax around me, I won’t bite, I promise you.” “I know that,” I said as she positioned my arms correctly for the dance now. “Yeah, well you don’t act that way certainly enough,” she said. “Well I guess that I’m just nervous and conflicted about this whole entire thing now, I mean I just can’t get over the fact that you actually like girls.” “Well can you tell me what’s wrong with that exactly?” she said now. “Nothing, so long as you follow your heart you’re never wrong.” “Exactly, and my heart tells me that I really like you a lot, Twilight.” “And mine doesn’t know how to react or where to go, I mean I don’t want to hurt your feelings, but I also don’t know how I feel about you either.” “Well then, maybe there’s something I can do to clear that up for you.” “And what would that be exactly?” I said noticing that she was much closer to me and that the song was almost at an end as she stared into my eyes now. “This,” she said leaning in and wrapping her arms around my body and then kissing me, and for a moment the whole entire world seemed to stop now. Nothing moved, except for my heart of course, which moved very rapidly. I couldn’t think, I couldn’t move, I didn’t even have time to react properly. I was completely shocked and surprised needless to say of course. But what I also felt was that way too, because I actually liked it. It was plain, simple, small, and short, nothing too big, nothing wrong. My skin felt like it was on fire now, wherever she touched me it burned like the sun shining down on your skin, but it didn’t hurt with the pain that you might or would expect if you were burned, because it was the good kind of pain. And I just wanted this feeling to go on forever, oh yes, let the burning continue. I actually felt like I was on fire for a moment, and the room felt cold next to the warmth and fire I felt as Sunset Shimmer kissed me in comparison now then. My lips tingled as we kissed, and I wanted to breathe, but I just couldn’t for some reason, and not because we were kissing, I had a nose to breathe through you know, but the real true reason I couldn’t breathe was because my breath was taken away, literally. It was like my lungs forgot how to operate for a moment, but of course if that were true then I really would need medical care and attention, but luckily enough I didn’t need that, I just needed her now instead, and so long as I always had her with me nothing else mattered anymore. But of course I knew that I couldn’t, but I still wished and hoped for that still instead, and nothing would ever destroy those hopes and dreams now. Sunset didn’t hold the kiss for very long, probably because she feared how I would react, I mean would I reject her and hurt her feelings or would I just be shocked and surprised instead? Or would I do something completely different and new instead. “I hope that you didn’t mind,” she said, “I just thought that I should probably try that out so you could know how you felt about me.” “Well that was a very good idea,” I said trying to recover from the event now. “Well, how did you feel? Shocked? Surprised? Do you like it? Hate it instead?” “No, I don’t hate it, or like it,” I said leaning closer to her now, “I LOVE IT!!!” And then it was my turn to surprise and shock her as I then kissed her. She blinked her reaction as I kissed her and wrapped my arms around her neck, but then she must have smiled and then accepted my reaction. After quite some time we finally ended the kiss then. “Well then, I guess we know exactly how this will work out,” she said smiling now, “So then, when do you want to have our next date and move in with me?” “Oh, I don’t think we’re quite there yet, but maybe someday,” I said smiling. “I hope so, I wouldn’t want our relationship to stand still forever.” “Trust me, it won’t, but should we tell our friends about this?” “I think that we should, but maybe not right now, we have to know that it’s going to work out for sure first before we actually tell them, okay?” “Alright, fine then, but do you think that they’ll accept us?” “If they’re our real true best friends then I think that they will,” she said. “Oh good, I was worried, but then again, with you here, why should I?” “Exactly, keep thinking like that and we’ll be in the bed together in no time at all,” Sunset said as they walked back over to the snack counter once the song had finally ended. “Hey, don’t you dare think about that right now,” I said. “Trust me, I’m not, but if I were then I would also have dreams about it too.” “You’re so naughty, but also funny, I like that, but I think I have to know you first if we’re going to continue our relationship,” I said getting some punch now. “Well how about we start very simple, my favorite color is orange, what about you?” Sunset said as she took a few cookies and started to eat them. “Uh mine is either violet or blue, I can’t really decide yet,” I said. “Well okay then, fine, alright, my favorite ice cream flavor is chocolate.” “Me too,” I said, “Well my favorite class is science, but you probably already knew that,” I said now trying to contain my very slight laugh. “Yeah, I did, I guess my favorite class has to be art though I guess,” she said as her smile grew bigger just like mine, “How about embarrassing moments now?” “Oh no,” I said thinking about a few particular events, “Skip this shit please.” “Okay, alright, fine then, as you wish,” she said bowing very dramatically. “Did you decide to watch the copy of The Princess Bride that I gave you?” “Yes, I did, and I must say, it is rather an excellent amazing movie.” “Well that’s what most say about it, and that’s exactly why I chose it for you to watch, but what do you want to talk about now then exactly?” I said now. “Well how about we talk about the future now?” she said very hopefully now. “Not to let your hopes down, but no, I would rather just take it one step at a time for now, let’s not worry about where the future will take us just yet. Okay?” I said trying to plead desperately with Sunset now. “Alright, fine then, you win today,” Sunset said trying not to laugh. “Okay, good then,” I said smiling, “Uh, but what do we do now then?” “A very good question after a kiss,” Sunset said now. “Hey look, this is my first time kissing somebody, okay?” “Yeah, me too, but I guess that it must be worse for you.” “And why would that be exactly?” I said now. “Well this is your first time kissing a girl just like me too,” she said now. “Oh, well I guess that makes sense, but I’m not sure if it’s any worse for me than you since we seem to be both on the same page here now relatively.” “Well we might be on the same page and story, but we read at our own pace and realize things sooner or later depending upon how we think.” “You’re so right, and also wise, where did you learn that from exactly?” “Not what, who, I learned it by myself of course,” she said now then. “Oh,” I said, “Okay, that’s interesting, I didn’t know you thought that way.” “I think many things, but most are about you now, Twilight,” she said now. “Okay, I think that we should take down the heat in this room by twenty degrees or so, or maybe twenty percent instead,” I said now. “Don’t be silly and ridiculous, the room is just fine, although it would be a lot warmer with you around my arms and by my side to support me now.” “You’re not getting another hug or kiss, so just give up, okay?” “Alright, fine then, you want to take things slowly, I can work out with that.” And then with that said she smiled and finished eating now. “Alright! Who’s ready to party?” Pinkie Pie suddenly said now. And with that said Pinkie Pie went into one of her full rant crazy modes now. I didn’t even bother to try to fight or question it, and so I just went along with it instead, but as I did I couldn’t help to ever take my eyes off of Sunset now. There she was dancing on the floor as Pinkie Pie was being herself, and she looked very lovely in her gown, almost like she was a real true princess now, but I knew in my heart and mind that she wasn’t, and she might never be one either, but maybe she could be something else special instead one day soon. But that was when chaos suddenly started to come into the room. Smoke suddenly filled the air and made it very hard for me to see anyone, especially Sunset, but then eventually it was cleared out with fans. “Wow, that smoke sure was weird,” Sunset said coming over to me. “Yeah, and I didn’t even plan it, so who did?” Pinkie Pie said bouncing over to us now. “Yeah, it does seem a bit strange,” I said to myself and her now. “Well at least it’s over now and we’ll always have each other.” “Yeah, I guess so, but I think the dance is ending, want one more last kiss?” “No, I think that I’ll be fine without one, but thanks for the offer anyways.” “Oh, okay then, fine, alright, I should probably get going anyhow.” “Alright fine, see you later Twily,” she said waving goodbye to me now. But as I left I couldn’t help feel like she wasn’t herself, almost like she was a completely different person, but it couldn’t be, right? She would always be the same person no matter what happened between them or to her, right? Of course, it just had to be, Sunset Shimmer loved her and I loved her too. And nothing would change that no matter what happened to us now. But she was also probably trying to figure this out too, I reasoned to myself. She was just probably trying to figure out where to go next and at what speed too, I mean what else could it be other than that, right? Yes, it just had to be that, there were other reasons too, but many less logical and reasonable too. I was finally satisfied with the answer that I gave myself and so I went out back home where my most faithful loyal dog Spike was. “Hey there Twilight,” he said, “How was the dance? Did you kiss anybody or get anything for me?” “Sorry Spike, but I don’t have any treats for you, although I did kiss someone.” “Oh really?” he said darting around the room very quickly and nervously too, “Who was it exactly? I’ll forget about the treats if you tell me.” “You wouldn’t believe me even if I did tell you who it was,” I said trying to avoid the question now. “Ah come on, you can tell me, I can keep a secret, I’m your dog and I bury stuff all the time, a secret shouldn’t be any harder,” he said. “Alright, fine then, you win, it was Sunset Shimmer,” I said. “Wow, cool,” he said, “I’ve been waiting for her to tell you her real true feeling about this whole entire thing, and now I’m just glad that it’s finally over.” “Wait, you knew about this?” I said now. “Well yeah, of course, it was pretty obvious to me even if she didn’t tell me you know, I mean you humans just smell the weirdest at some certain times.” “Alright fine then, but you’re not upset that she’s a girl at all?” “Nah, I’m cool with it so long as you like her and follow your heart, or your nose and instincts if you want to go chase something around instead.” “Wow, I did not know that you felt that way,” I said now. “Yeah, well I don’t really mind, I mean why would I after all?” “I don’t really know, I just thought that you might,” I said now then. “Well I think that it’s time to go to bed,” he said yawning very loudly now. “Yeah, you’re right, it is a bit late, and I probably need to think about this whole entire thing,” I said taking off my clothes and getting into bed now. “Well good night Twilight, see you in the morning,” he said now. “Goodnight Spike, I’ll also see you in the morning too,” I said as I slowly closed my eyes and finally let the darkness and dreams take over me now then. > The Next Day > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter Two: The Next Day The next day came eventually and I got up to do my regular normal morning routine even though I did know something that could have caused it to change. As I showered I heard a very loud knock on the door and then I also heard the voice of Sunset Shimmer as she called out to me now then. “Hey there,” she said, “I have something very special for you now.” “Coming!” I shouted as I turned off the water and grabbed a towel to wipe myself dry, “Just give me a moment, I was in the shower and need to dry off.” “Okay, fine then, I can wait here alright,” she said. I eventually dried off and arranged the towels so that nothing private was exposed. “I’m here,” I said opening the door to let her in now then. “Wow,” she said looking at me, “You’re even hotter than I imagined in those towels, maybe you should consider dropping one of them very soon if you know what I mean,” she said smiling as she took a step much closer to me now. “Uh yeah,” I said clutching the upper towel and breasts even tighter now trying not to expose anything private now then , “That’s not happening anytime soon, not that I think or even want at least now, not yet anyhow, just give me time.” “Alright, that’s fine, but there’s no need to be defensive about your breasts, we’re both girls here,” she said smiling as she took a seat now then. “Uh yeah, I know that,” I said, “But could you give me a moment please? I want to change into something a little less exposing and uncomfortable.” “Sure thing girl,” she said as I left to go into my room, “Anything for you.” I looked at my clothes and started to worry about what to wear now. Oh my gosh, do I wear something casual, serious, sexy? No, wait, cross off that last one, I don’t want to give her any ideas just yet, but then again, maybe anything that I wore could be considered sexy by Sunset Shimmer, oh dear. Uh yeah, probably it would be, even if it was just my regular normal school attire. Then trying to remain and act calm and casual I left my room. “Okay, you’re still hot,” Sunset said smiling as she saw me now. Yep, I couldn’t change her mind about that I guess now. “Well I’m not as hot as your name,” I said now then. “No one is, but then again, you don’t have to be for me to like you either.” “Well I guess that’s true, but you said you had something very special for me, what was that exactly?” I said going over to the cupboard to get some food now. “These,” Sunset said handing me some flowers now, “I didn’t know what you liked so I decided to get a whole bunch of them, I just hope that you’re not allergic to anything because that would be super stupid and embarrassing too.” “These are just wonderful,” I said taking them to sniff in very deeply now. “Yeah, well I’m ready to take it at your pace now I guess.” “Well I don’t know,” I said, “You seemed hesitant last night at the end of the dance when you said that you didn’t want to kiss me, and I was confused.” “Were you? Well then, let’s see if I can make it up to you now,” she said leaning in very close to me and then giving me a perfect kiss that sent fire up my spine. “Is that better?” she said smiling after the kiss was finally done now. “Much,” I said unable to contain my joy and delight with a smile now. “Well just let me know if you want more… or even something else,” she said. “Oh, trust me, I will,” I said as I sat down and started to eat breakfast now then. “Good then, because I was worried that you might be holding back on me now,” she said gently brushing her in a very sweet and seductive manner now then. “You know it’s a very nice day out… maybe we can go to the park and talk?” she said brushing a strand of hair that was over her eyes now, and no matter what she did, even this plain small tiny little simple movement seemed so cute, just too much so as I found my hand reach over and grab hers now and then I also found myself staring into her eyes very deeply right now. “I would just simply love that,” I said still unable to contain my smile. “Good then, I’ll bring the snacks and drinks, you bring the blanket and food.” “Alright, fine then, but what park should we meet at and when?” I said. “Why the public Canterlot Park of course, where else would we go?” “I don’t know honestly,” I said trying to figure out what food I should bring now, “But what food should I bring, any suggestions for me at all?” “just bring whatever you like or normally eat, I’m sure that it’ll be just fine.” And then with that said Sunset smiled and then left leaving me all alone now. > The Park > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter Three: The Park It was a very lovely and bright day to visit the park, at least as far as weather patterns go and all. When I finally got there I found Sunset standing at a very tall prominent tree with the snacks and drinks as she was smiling now then. “Hey there Twilight, nice to see you here now,” she said smiling as I put the blanket down on the ground. “I didn’t know what you liked so I decided to go with a classic,” I said pulling out the food now, “Grilled cheese sandwiches.” “Oh, very good fine choice indeed,” Sunset said sitting down on the blanket and pulling out the snacks and drinks, “I just have some chips and grape juice and apple juice and also some very cold water, I thought I would mix it up a bit now.” “That’s okay,” I said organizing all the food now then. “So then, what do you want to talk about exactly?” Sunset said now then. “Well I just want to say that there’s no pressure on you from me to speed this up, we can take it at your own pace, I’m really fine with that,” she said now then. “Oh, good, I was very worried, “Twilight said, “But why meet here just to talk about our relationship? I think that there’s something more here now then.” “Yes, there is, honestly I feel like I’m missing something important, like I have been here, but not really, almost like some of my memories are gone now.” “And this bother you I guess, not feeling like you’re complete?” she said now then. “Yes, and I don’t know why, but I feel like we’re being watched right now.” “Don’t be ridiculous, who would possibly want to watch us?” she said now then. “Yeah, I guess that you’re right,” she said smiling now as she idly twirled her hair around now then, “But I still can’t shake this feeling off anymore and I wanted to ask you about your thoughts and opinions on this whole entire thing.” “Look, it doesn’t matter what you think or feel about others, just me.” And with that said I slowly leaned over and kissed her right on the lips. And this time I wasn’t going to hold myself back anymore. “See?” I said quickly retracting right now then, “What you feel right now, it’s real, and what I feel is also real too, but if you want more just say the word.” “I want more,” Sunset said smiling and then with that said I went on. I felt like I was on fire, and I couldn’t care if someone was watching us or if the world even went up in the flames of chaos, war, and anarchy mixed in with strife, despair, sorrow, and pain, because so long as I had Sunset with me then everything would be just fine. I wrapped my arms around her very tightly now as our embrace only grew tighter and the space between us grew less now then. Our embrace only grew tighter as the fire and flames on my skin got hotter and as our love grew too now then. And this time I didn’t hold myself back anymore as I opened my mouth and let our tongues slide over each other now then. And as I did I couldn’t help think of what else I wanted to do with her now then… I just wanted to open her shirt and see what was under there now, but as I stared down at her chest with a great passion and desire just wanting to tear it open my mind tried to use logic and reason by saying that we were in a very public wide open space right now. “Maybe we should finish this at home,” I said now. “Hmmm…” Sunset said now,” Why would that be exactly now then?” “Because we’re in a public wide open space right now, and what I have in mind is a bit more personal and not appropriate for the general audiences now.” “Well, look who’s naughty now,” Sunset said smiling very seductively now then. “Yeah, well let’s just pack this stuff up and go home, alright?” she said now then. “Alright, fine then,” she said picking up the stuff now, “Back to our place.” And with that said we went over to our place since we had been living together for practical cost reasons ever since we got out of high school now then. And now I seemed that it would be practical for more than just one reason now. We both put our stuff down when we got in and stared at each other now. “Well now what exactly?” Sunset said gazing into my eyes very deeply now. “Well I was thinking that we could shower after that, I mean it was kind of a hot day at the park,” I said wiping my forehead to emphasize this point now then. “Yeah, I guess that it was, “Sunset said catching unto my subtle hints and clues now then. “And you know it would be a great practical thing if we could share it together you know, because I was wondering if you would like to share it now then, I mean we are getting rather close now and I feel like it may be time now.” “Oh, you really are naughty, but yes, I would just love to do that and join you in your shower, but my only concern is if it will be big enough for us both.” “Oh, I think that it can fit us both, and if not then I can make something work out for us,” I said smiling as I went to go turn the water on now then. “My only question is this now; do you want it hot or cold?” I said. “Whatever you want or like, I don’t really care, but I would prefer the warm hot one,” Sunset said. “Me too,” I said turning on the water to heat it up now then. I slowly started to take off my clothes and then eventually I stood naked in front of my mirror as I stared at myself. Damn, I thought to myself as I looked at myself and started to turn around, I really am hot, Sunset was right all along. Once the water was hot enough now I poked my head out being very careful not to expose any of my naked body, “Are you coming or not?” I shouted out now. “Oh, I’m coming alright,” she said in response to my very loud shout now. She came into the bathroom which was very large and decent for both of us to fit in, even the shower too, but I wasn’t too concerned about size now. “So I see that you decided not to go in without me, that’s very good,” she said as she started to take off her clothes as I stared with lust at her body now. “Well I wouldn’t want to get in without my best friend, now would I?” “I guess not,” she said finishing taking off her clothes and now she stood completely naked in front of me as she did a slight spin around now. “How do I look? Hot enough? Sexy enough?” she said smiling now. “You look just perfect,” I said stepping into the shower now, “So come on in, don’t be shy, I won’t bite, although I might do something much worse instead now.” “Oh, I love how your naughty mind thinks,” Sunset said stepping into the shower now. As she did I stared at her some more and watched as the water slowly dropped unto her skin and slid smoothly from her neck down to her breasts and then on down to her legs and an even more tantalizing place and prize now too. “Oh my,” I said, “You look even hotter when you’re in the shower.” “So do you,” Sunset said smiling as she leaned forward and kissed me wrapping her arms around me very tightly and pressing her chest against mine now. I went along with the kiss but then eventually went away from it to do something else that would have an even greater prize and reward as I slowly worked my hands up to her breasts now. Sunset let out a soft moan of joy and delight in her ecstasy now and then she too started to work her hand up to my breasts and I also had to let out a very soft moan of joy and delight in my ecstasy now then. We both moved our hands around our body parts letting them flow however and whenever we wanted, and as for me, I slowly rubbed her breasts in round circular motions first and then I did it with her nipples and then pinched them and then I grabbed and squeezed them, first softly and then gradually more firmly, but not ever so much so that it would hurt her. And then I slowly worked my hands down past her breasts and down past her stomach to her legs, and then I slowly went in for the most private part of all now. Sunset let out an even louder moan of pleasure, joy and delight as I rubbed my hands along very gently now. “Do you want more now?” I said smiling as the water still poured down on us now. “Oh yes, please, give me more, and please don’t ever stop,” she said now. I smiled at that and decided to continue as I very gently and softly leaned my face in to her breasts and put my mouth around her nipples and then very gently and softly I started to roll my tongue along her skin and lick them now. Her moan of joy, delight, and pleasure grew louder as I continued the process for her other breast and then I finally managed to squeeze her butt very tightly now. “Oh, you’re such a naughty little girl,” she said smiling as she then started to do the same things on me that I did to her and I had to let out a very similar moan of joy, delight and pleasure that she did, but slightly different of course. “More please,” I said very softly unable to contain my smile now. “As you wish,” Sunset said smiling as she made love to me right there and then under the hot water of the shower as it very slowly poured down on us now. The experience that I had then was just too much to tell and I probably couldn’t describe it with words even if I tried or wanted to, but to say that it was the most brilliant amazing and epic awesome cool thing to ever happen to me in my life would also be the biggest understatement in my life too as well. But let’s just say that unless you have had this experience then there’s nothing I can ever say to perfectly describe it, but nonetheless I still will try to. As we made love and kissed my skin felt like it was on fire and my whole entire body felt like it could just burst into flames at any moment and then consume us with the fire of passion. But my words fall far too short of what a most wonderful joyous occasion of delight that I felt, and I know that nothing I can ever say will come close, but for now I will just have to hold these feelings and this experience and all the unspoken words that I will never say or ever really fully truly express within my heart, I just wish for the day to come where I can really fully truly express my words, thoughts, and feelings, and I will pray for that day to come and wait with hope and faith looking for it, but also having doubt in my heart that it will come to me, but for now I will just have to go through life day by day now. After our experience we finally shut the water off and dried off, but yes, we still did kiss and do many other random various acts of sex while we did that. And then smiling we decided that it was too early to go to bed but that if we also put on our clothes now we would probably only have to take them off later again in our bed, and so we decided to do the rest of the day in our room just wandering around doing random various stuff without any clothes on at all whatsoever. And let me tell you, it really was great, and a very interesting changing experience especially since you don’t ever see regular normal people do anything, even house chores without any clothes on, which made the whole entire thing a bit weird, awkward, and highly unusual and strange, but we managed to deal with it. And when nighttime finally did come we made love again, and it really was great, granted maybe not so much as the first time since we had the water to make our skin smoother and slicker, but it still was a very good experience nonetheless. And eventually we finally managed to fall asleep in each other’s arms as we finally gave in to the power of the night and let our dreams and the darkness come now. > The Costume Party > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter Four: The Costume Party When the next morning finally came we both seemed to wake up at the same time. “Morning sleepyhead,” Sunset smiling. “The same goes for you too,” I said. “Yeah, I guess that you’re right, but did you have a good night’s sleep?” “After what happened yesterday I think that I had the best night’s sleep,” I said. “Oh, well okay then, fine, because I also had the best night’s sleep too,” she said. “But aren’t you the person that enjoys the daylight hours instead?” I said. “It always only depends upon the time and day for that Twilight,” she said. “Well I guess that’s true, but I’m hungry now and breakfast won’t cook itself,” I said slowly getting up from the bed and started to get my clothes on now. “Ah, the saddest part of anything that must end, always putting the clothes back on, but I don’t even see why we should bother anymore,” Sunset said now. “Well I don’t know about you, but I actually plan on going somewhere today, and besides, yesterday was kind of an unplanned and unexpected thing of chance and luck even if I don’t really believe in either of those things,” I said. “Well, where were you planning to go exactly?” Sunset said smiling as got up from the bed and now stood fully naked in front of me now then. “Well there was this costume party thing later on this week and I was thinking that we could go to it, and I also wanted to go tell our friends about us now.” “Ah, okay then, fine,” Sunset said starting to put on her own clothes now then, “But why can’t we just call our friends and tell them about us?” “I would rather do it in person, besides, I have a very fun day planned out for us,” I said smiling as I finished putting all of my clothes on now then. “Well if it was anything like yesterday I’m really looking forward to it.” “Of course you would be, but I don’t know or think that it’ll end quite the same.” “Well I don’t mind that so long as we’re both together now,” she said smiling now. “The plan for today is art stuff and things with a few museums,” I said. “Oh, well that’s okay and fine I guess,” Sunset said now then. “Time to go now if you’re ready I guess,” I said now then. “Well I guess that I am ready then, the sooner that we can do stuff together.” And with that said we went around the city to the museums first doing what I wanted and then what she wanted next, and it was quite a lovely day indeed. After that I couldn’t wait until Saturday to come again for the costume party. I already knew what I was going to be, but Sunset didn’t and we had to try many various random things on her at Rarity’s house and we eventually found one that was just perfect for her, but we didn’t get the chance to tell any of our friends about our relationship now, but we decided to tell all of them at the party on Saturday since they all had agreed to be there previously beforehand now then. When Saturday finally came I slowly got into my costume and waited for Sunset to change into hers, “Hey are you ready yet? It’s going to start very soon now.” “I’m ready now,” she said stepping out with her costume and then spinning around to show it off, “So what do you think about this? Is it perfect?” “Wow, you do look just perfect and amazing and awesome and cool,” I said staring at the red, yellow, and orange wings that were attached to her shoulders that made her look like she was a bird on fire now, or a phoenix basically. “So do you too,” she said looking at me, “Okay then, let’s go now.” And with that said we smiled and left for the costume party now then. When we finally got there we saw all of our friends waiting at the doors for us. “Well hello there, darlings,” Rarity said, “You both look so lovely right now.” “Thanks a lot, but you look very lovely too,” we both said now then. “Thanks a lot, but anyone who’s in my costume designs is bound to look very lovely, but when you came to my shop you said you wanted to talk with us now?” “Yes, we have something very important to tell all of you right now,” I said. “Oh! Exciting what is it exactly?” Pinkie Pie said jumping up and down now then. “Well me and Sunset, we’re in love, and we’re also dating,” I said smiling now then. “Oh,” Fluttershy said, “That’s great, I’m so happy for you both.” “Wow, that’s surprising, but I’m also very happy for you too,” Applejack said now then. “Oh, that’s so exciting!” Pinkie Pie said continuing to bounce up and down now then. “Well, I’m shocked, but if you two are happy then so am I,” Rarity said now then. “Thanks a lot for the support, it means a lot to us both now. “Yeah, well I think that the party’s starting right now!’ Pinkie Pie shouted very loudly now then. And with that said they all went in and mingled and danced around then now. But as we did I noticed a girl with a futuristic and modern looking suit that obscured her face, and it was colored blue, purple, orange and also red too. And she stood apart from the crowd for some reason, but then I finally started to notice why, it was because they had a device around their neck that looked very similar to one that I had designed to collect magic now then. I decided to start heading towards her, but as I did she tried to avoid me, and I both felt and sensed that something was not right about them, it was very wrong now instead then, and I wanted to try to see who she was now then by getting closer and perhaps maybe even cornering her. But she managed to avoid me very carefully, but I still also managed to stay very close behind her as I chased her now then. “Stop!” I shouted as she ran outside up to the roof of the building now then. But she didn’t, but as I ran I heard Sunset come from behind me now then. “Twilight?” she said coming after me now then, “Where are you going exactly?” “After someone!” I shouted back as I climbed the stairs after them and then finally I managed to see that she was cornered in top of the roof now then. “It’s over,” I said, “You have nowhere else to run, so show yourself right now please, now then take off your helmet very slowly and don’t make any sudden moves because I know things that you can’t ever dream or think about.” “So do I,” the girl said taking off her helmet very slowly, and then I was very shocked and surprised to see the face of Sunset Shimmer staring back at me now then. “Sunset? Is that really you? But how?” I said now then. “I’m not your Sunset Shimmer, and the name’s Summer Mirage, your Sunset is still back at the dance, and she doesn’t know anything about us just like you.” “Actually I’m right here,” Sunset said from right behind me now then. “Who are you and what do you want from us exactly?” I said now then. “I’m no one really important, but what I want is knowledge, to determine if you were safe or dangerous, and now I know that you’re safe, for now that is.” “Wait, why did you want to know if we were safe or dangerous?” “For my agency of course, Team Harmony or Project Sunlight on Mission Solace, but who we are and what we want, well you don’t need to know that right now.” “Okay then, fine, alright, keep your secrets, but tell me this, why now?” “After the last few events with magic we decided it would be better if we acted sooner now rather than later, now then if you’ll excuse me I have a ride to catch,” she said as a helicopter suddenly came up and then she jumped inside of it now then. “What the hell?” I said as it took off into the air right now then. “Sorry girls, maybe I’ll send you a letter explaining all of this, but for now I’m just going to have to leave you in the dark, but I think that we might see each other very soon again, so you better keep an eye out, catch you later I guess.” And with that said she went away leaving us in mystery now then. “What the fuck was that?” Sunset said watching the sky now. “I don’t know, but I have a feeling that this might not be over just yet.” “Yeah, but let’s not worry about her just now yet, let’s just go back to the party now, okay?” Sunset said coming over to me and taking my hands now then. And with that said I smiled and let her lead me back to the party and we enjoyed ourselves, but the subject matter of the human Sunset Shimmer who was named Summer Mirage still bothered me and lingered in my mind no matter what I tried to do or what else happened now then. Why had she decided to show and reveal herself now? Was that part of her orders? What was Team Harmony and Project Sunlight? Was there more to her mission that we didn’t know about? What more was there that we didn’t know about? These and many more questions filled my mind, but I pushed them aside as I slowly danced with Sunset and let the music and party distract my mind. > Epilogue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Epilogue Nova Star gazed out at the sky waiting for Mirage to come back, and eventually she finally did. “I got what you wanted,” she said tossing the device on the table as she came in, “They never even knew I was there, so mission success.” “Excellent, now that I finally have this I can study it and hopefully eventually I’ll be able to weaponize it,” she said picking up the device then right now. “Isn’t that a kind of stupid crazy idea?” Mirage said to her now then. “To some yes, but every day the world is filling up with more people who are criminals or who have the chance and potential opportunity to become one, and I cannot allow that to happen if it is within my power to stop it,” she said now then. “Alright, fine then, but what just is exactly the next step and part of the plan now?” Mirage said waiting to hear her next details now then. “The mission is over but Project Sunlight is still active, we have to study and observe them, but now at least we’ll have something to fight them with against now, and Mirage, you’re dismissed back to your regular normal duties now.” “Alright, fine then, just let me know if you need me again.” And with that said she left and Nova played around with the device. So much power, so much potential, so much danger and peril too. She knew that she shouldn’t ever have this kind of power just as any human, but the seven she watched could become a very dangerous potential threat and enemy if left unchecked, but if talked to they might become great potential allies and friends too, she just had to make sure that it was the best option for all of them for the safety and protection of the whole entire world, and now that this new power had been found she had to tell the big boss, the one on top of her. Very slowly and nervously she went to his office and knocked with fear. “Enter,” a very loud voice said and she did so. “What is it this time exactly, Nova?” he said. “Sir, the device, we have the magic, we have what you want now.” From within the shadows and darkness he smiled very deviously. “Excellent, bring it here to me,” he said, and she did so. “Very good job Nova, I’ll see that you get a bonus from me and the praise that you deserve but nothing more, you may go now, that is all,” he said now then. “But Mr. Star-,” Nova tried to say before being cut off very abruptly now then. “I told you to never use my real name, Nova,” he said very angrily now. “Yes sir, sorry, Mr. Comet, are you sure that’s all you need right now?” “Yes, you can go now and please don’t come back, I wish to think.” “Of course, sir,” Nova said closing the door very softly behind her now. And with that the man held up the device and smiled and then he thought to himself this single thing. After so many years, I finally have it, I have power now. And with that he started to work on understanding it and get back to his job now then, and so he smiled very deviously as his plan started to come together now.
