That Explains So Much

Be careful what you wish for. That was a saying that Sunset Shimmer was probably going to remember for the rest of her life now.

She just had to wish she had gotten powers too. She just had to be jealous of Twilight, and her ability to levitate things with her magic.

They had all gotten powers though, thanks to those magical geo crystals that somehow made their way through the crack in the portal. Some powers were obvious. Applejack got super strength, Rainbow Dash got super speed, and Fluttershy’s understanding of animals was amplified to the point where she could communicate with them.

Some, not so much. Like Pinkie's weird ability to make sprinkles explode, and Sunset’s mind reading power.

Though surprising, it did help them find out who Gaia Everfree was, and helped them stop Gloriosa Daisy’s misguided plans.

But there was a downside that she could have never thought would ever come with such a power.

Hearing and seeing things that she really didn't want to.

At first it wasn't much of a problem, especially since she didn't give it much attention. That is, until she was over at Twilight’s studying with her.

To be honest they really didn't need to, since they were two of the smartest kids in school, but just to be sure they still decided to study.

Mrs. Sparkle had made them snacks and most of the evening was spent talking about the happenings at school more so than the actual studying.

Twilight had a nervous habit of twirling her pencil, and a particular story about how Pinkie had accidently placed cake batter in her party cannon instead of confetti for the spring fling last year caused her to drop it when she doubled over in a fit of laughter.

They reached down for the writing instrument at the same time and Sunset accidently grabbed Twilight’s hand. Her eyes glowed white, and before she knew it she was witnessing one of Twilight's thoughts.

They were a tangled mess of bodies and sweat, the air thick with lust. Twilight’s heavy breathing was matched with the soft kisses Sunset was leaving on her neck.

Twilight's uniform was half off, her hair mussed and her glasses askew. If anyone walked in on them right now, they'd definitely know something was going on.

Sunset smirked, licking her lips. The nerd in front of her looked simply ravenous. She couldn't wait to make her scream her name.

Their lips met again, more feverishly this time.

Sunset blinked, unaware that a deep blush had overtaken her features. “Uh....” she sputtered. “Was that..?”

Twilight looked down at a watch that she wasn't even wearing. “Ah! Look at the time! I'm sorry Sunset, but I've got to feed the bed and go to Spike!”

“Don't you mean-”

“I know what I mean, please leave!”

Sunset didn't have to be told twice. Before she even knew what happened she was out on Twilight's doorstep, her backpack in hand.

Little did she know, that was the first of many instances to come.


Lunch the next day was awkward to say the least. Sunset couldn't bear to look Twilight in the eye and the feeling was mutual.

The ensuing weird aura at the table was felt by everyone, even someone who was as situationally oblivious as Pinkie Pie.

Rarity was the one to speak the question on everyone's mind. “Did something happen between you two last night?”

“N-No, not really,” Twilight answered, poking the seventh hole Sunset had counted in the poor defenseless slice of cucumber in her salad.

“Seems like it,” Applejack said, eyeing both of them.

“Yeah, it's like you guys had a one night stand and then regretted it immediately after or something!” Rainbow Dash said, waving her hands.

Pinkie giggled. “Oh Dashie, that's silly! Why would they do that! They were studying math, not biology!”

Juice got caught in Sunset’s throat at that, and Fluttershy had to rub her back to ease her out of her coughing fit.

“Did you?” Rarity asked with an eyebrow raised. The fashionista was always one for gossip and this was no different.

“It wasn't anything like that,” Sunset assured them. “It's...complicated.”

“Right,” Twilight agreed. “Complicated.”

“How so?” Rarity responded, folding her arms, a slight frown showing that she was disappointed in the fact that she wasn't going to get anything juicy out of them.

“Like I said,” Sunset replied, “It's complicated. And it wouldn't do us any good explaining it here.” She thought for a moment and then announced, “Emergency friendship meeting after school at Sugarcube Corner.”


“What's the emergency? I had soccer practice you know,” Dash whined, but still happily ordered her large milkshake when Mrs. Cake walked passed.

“And I had to help out at the shelter today,” Fluttershy replied, swirling her half melted root beer float. “But an emergency friendship meeting is an emergency friendship meeting.”

“Besides, it obviously sounds like whatever you and Twilight have to tell us sounds simply disastrous darling,” Rarity added, posting the picture of her plate of multi colored macarons to MyStable she just took.

“Well...” Twilight said, her voice pitching at the end. “It depends on your definition of ‘disastrous’.” Her bowl of ice cream looked very interesting to her in that moment.

“Pardon?” Rarity questioned, looking confused.

“That's what we wanted to talk to you guys about.” Sunset confessed. “See...remember those geo crystals that we found at Camp Everfree?”

“The ones that turned Gloriosa Daisy into a tree woman and us into really cool superhumans with really cool powers?!” Pinkie asked, her mouth full of various sweets.

Sunset rolled her eyes. “Yeah, those. You guys know how I can see memories and thoughts? Well, I accidently touched Twilight's hand and I saw....something.”

“Something?” Dash asked. “You called us all here to tell us that you just saw something? Can't you see into everyone's minds?”

“It's not the fact that I saw something Rainbow Dash, it's....it's what I saw.” Sunset’s face turned a reddish hue.

“Well what exactly did you see, darling?” Rarity pushed. “We simply must know! You can't hold out on us any longer!”

“I can see fantasies. I can see thoughts that anyone's having about another person. And Twilight....Twilight was having...erm...sexual thoughts. About me.” Sunset pursed her lips after that.

There was a moment of silence before all the girls at the table burst into laughter to the confusion of Twilight and Sunset.

“Well of course she does darling! We all do!” Rarity said as the laughter died down.

“Yeah! You're like, smoking hot!” Rainbow Dash agreed. “Here, check me and I'll prove it!” she added, offering her arm to the older girl.

Sunset took it, her eyes glowing white.

Sunset lay on a bed in a referee uniform, one that left little to the imagination. a silver whistle rested around her neck and a cocky smirk was plastered on her face.

Before her stood Rainbow Dash in her soccer uniform, completely and utterly speechless.

“What's the matter?” She asked, in a sultry voice. “What happened to that take charge attitude you had on the field? You've been naughty Dashie, and this ref is giving you a time out.”

“Cheesy. So cheesy. Anymore cheese and it'd be an extra super duper cheesy special from Joe’s!” Pinkie said, rolling her eyes.

“Well I'm sorry if my sports based fantasies don't cut it for you, Pinkie Pie!” Dash barked, folding her arms.

“Me next!” Pinkie shouted, completely ignoring Dash and putting Sunset’s hand to her forehead.

Sunset’s eyes glowed white once again.

“Wow Sunny, you're a good kisser!” Pinkie bubbled, sounding out of breath. “I can barely keep up with you, and that's saying something!”

“What can I say Pinkie?” Sunset said, smirking. “You're such a sweet treat!”

“Oh sure, my fantasy is cheesy for being sports related, but you can have puns!” Dash protested. “How is that fair?!”

“Darling, are you sure you want to go around the table like this? It might make you uncomfortable.” Rarity advised, her eyes darting from one side to the next.

Sunset hadn't said anything since this weird ritual started, but shook her head at Rarity's question. “Nah. I've seen worse porn.”

“You don't have to use your powers on me,” Applejack interjected as Sunset was about to grab her hand. “My fantasies about you aren't that much different from the others.” She scratched her cheek, embarrassed. “Has a mighty bit of bondage though...”

“Oh, kinky!” Pinkie yelled a bit too loudly, causing some patrons in their area of the cafe to give them odd looks.

Twilight lay a hand over her mouth, smiling wryly. “You might want to be a little bit more inconspicuous about these kinds of things,Pinkie,” She warned, wiping her hand on a napkin.

“Oops, sorry!” Pinkie apologized, giving a sympathetic look to Applejack, who was putting her hat over her reddened face.

“Hey! What about Rarity?! She hasn't offered up any information!” Rainbow Dash said, pointing to the fashionista.

“What, why me?” Rarity demanded.

“Because I wanna see just how perverted you are! You're all prim and prissy and you never let anyone know what you're thinking! I bet you've got something really good in there!” Dash responded, rubbing her hands.

“Dashie’s right! Who knows what Rare-Bear is thinking!” Pinkie agreed.

Rarity sputtered for about a minute, before quietly sighing and giving in. “Oh fine! Just, just get it over with!” Her squeezed her eyes shut as she felt Sunset take her hand.

They were in the boutique, the blinds drawn and the lights dimmed. The blindfold on Sunset’s face looked marvelous, making her look vulnerable and enticing.

Her wrists were tied to the mannequin with the softest black silk ribbon Rarity could find. Sunset was stripped down to her black lace underwear and breathing hard.

Very hard.

“Please, Mistress Rarity, please let me cum,” Sunset said in between breaths, sweating and panting.

“You'll come when I tell you to, slave,” Rarity responded, pulling on her into a long hungry kiss.

“Whoa nelly!” Applejack commented, fanning herself.

“So. Freaking. Hot!” Dash squealed with delight.

“Double kinky!” Pinkie said, giggling.

“Yes, yes! Kinky!” Rarity repeated. “Please do turn the attention to someone else!” her alabaster face was tomato red.

“What about Fluttershy?” Dash asked.

“What about Fluttershy?” Twilight said, eyebrows furrowing.

“If Rarity’s was that hot, imagine how hot Fluttershy's is!” Dash said, pointing at the animal caretaker.

“M-Me?!” Fluttershy asked. “I-I don't even have any, I mean I do, but-”

Sunset put her hand to Fluttershy’s rapidly heating forehead and steeled herself for the final fantasy.

But before she could, Fluttershy just blurted out what she had been thinking.

“Sometimes I fantasize about us all being in a giant orgy with each other at a sleepover!” She exclaimed, her eyes widening at just how loud she had been.

You could hear the smallest of pins drop in Sugarcube Corner at that moment, every eye was on them and almost every girl at that table had wished they had died in that very moment.

“And we'll never be allowed in here again...” Sunset said, sliding down in her seat and sipping her milkshake.
