True Loves Light

1 year Later

Friday August 2nd; 10 am. Sunset Shimmer/Sci-Twi's apartment.

The morning had at last begun, the sun had risen well and high into the sky and the birds had begun singing their normal morning tune. All was cheery and bright as the new day started and as the sunlight began to bleed into the room of the one bedroom apartment in the two girls occupying the bed called home the light would not have a chance to reach their faces and awake them. No that was the job of the two puppies that also occupied the house.

"So you wanna wake 'em or should I do it?" Smolder said with a cheeky smile as she readied herself to pounce on the bed. This was business as usual however that didn't make it any less fun to get a rise out of her owner and her mate early in the morning.

"Waking Twilight is MY job and MY job alone" Spike said trying his best to sound tough since he was the elder between the two of them even if it was only by two years.

Smolder rolled her eyes but giggled all the same. "Whatever you say Spike; anyway time to play alarm clock. Ahem" Smolder cleared her throat and gave a loud few barks and that instantly startled Sunset out of her sleep causing her to fumble about in the sheets and she then looked up, her hair a mess and she pouted looking at Smolder.

"Seriously Smolder?" Sunset pouted and raised an eyebrow at the cheeky little pup.

Smolder would giggle at that. "I'm hungry and there's no food in my bowl. Chop, chop Sun-Butt" Smolder said patting her orange paw on the ground coaxing Sunset to get out of bed and feed her.

Sunset sighed and rolled her eyes as she rubbed the grogginess out of her eyes knowing Smolder wouldn't relent until she got what she wanted. "Alright, alright. I take it you wanna go for a walk too?"

Smolder smirked and pranced her way out of the room but not before grabbing her collar/leash from a little bed in the corner of the room. "I'll be waiting near my bowl"

Spike chuckled "And I thought I was a brat as a puppy"

Sunset scoffed "You still ARE. You're only older than her by two years."

"Which is 14 years in dog years!" Spike protested proudly.

"Mmmugh not so loud!" Twilight grumbled underneath her pillow as she tried to block out all the noise. "And turn off the sun! I like the moon better!"

Sunset giggled and scoffed at that thinking 'Good thing Princess Celestia can't hear you' "Hehehe c'mon Twi up and at 'em." Sunset said shaking Twilight a little on the shoulder trying to coax the nerdy girl to wake up so they could start their day.

"Uh-uh." Twilight said shrugging Sunset off and retreated under the covers curling up in defiance. She was far too comfy to leave the comfort of their bed.

"Oh so that's how its gonna be eh?"

Sunset gave a devious and cheeky grin as she raised her hand up and brought it clapping down hard on Twilight's bubbly purple rear with a thunderous SMACK echoing throughout the room as well as Twilight's squeal of surprise. Twilight would rise up from under the covers, her hair a total mess and her eyes squinting at Sunset.

"EEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYAH! Sunset Shim-mmmmph?!?" Her protests and whining were cut short by a set of lips locking onto her own. Her eyes fluttered closed and she laid back on the bed, her head hitting the pillow as Sunset rested her down on her back and kissed her deep on the lips.

After a good minute of smooching her now awakened girlfriend Sunset released her lips and was now sitting in Twilight's lap with a cheeky smile tugged at her lips. "Mornin' Twi."

Twilight reached over to the dresser using her magic to grab her glasses and put them on allowing her vision to come into full focus. Then she brought her hands around and spanked Sunset Shimmer in return but smiled all the same. "Good morning to you too Sunny Butt"

Sunset yelped, smirked and wiggled her ass in Twilight's grip. "Oh so NOW you like the sun?"

Twilight blushed and stuck her tongue out at Sunset. "Nyeh! Theres a reason why my butt is referred to as the full moon"

Sunset scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Pft it is not, that's what we called VP Luna's butt."

Twilight pouted and scoffed. "Fuck you for ruining my joke"

Sunset smirked and retorted. "Fuck you for making that joke."

"Fuck you" Twilight scoffed and rolled her eyes.

"Fuck you!" Sunset playfully humped Twilight.

"Fuck you!!" Twilight spanked Sunset harder than before and on her cutie mark which she knew turned the pony girl on.

"FUCK. YOU!!!" Sunset shouted and pinched Twilight's left nipple causing her to moan slightly.

"Oh will you two just shut up and fuck already!" Spike groaned from the corner.

"Shut up Spike!" Twilight and Sunset said in unison and laughed.

"They can fuck as much as they want after I go for my walk and get some food!" Smolder barked from downstairs in a clearly impatient manner.

Twilight would use her magic abilities to toss a pillow at Spike in retaliation but the swift puppy would dodge it and make his way downstairs. Giggling as she had Sunset on top of her, she snuggled and nuzzled her for a few brief moments before releasing her and allowing her to get up so they could both begin their day.

"Alright time to get to it"

Sunset would slip off the bed and stretch out allowing her muscles to relax and her joints and bones to crack back into place as she fully woke herself up. The sunlight of the summer sun seeped into the room warming it up to help contrast to the cool air the blew in from the A/C unit which Twilight had helped her improve after she moved in with her.

'It's really still amazing that she decided to come and live with me instead of going to stay on campus with Rainbow and Fluttershy. It's really nice having someone to wake up with every morning...and smolder.' She thought with a giggle as she heard the bratty little puppy barking from downstairs again which was her cue to get dressed and handle her needs.

Getting up and walking over to her dresser she yelped when she felt a palm smack her right on the cutie mark and she blushed seeing Twilight had decided to give her a little wake up morning aftershock. Twilight in the time that they had been dating had become much more bold, expressive and yet still kept that adorkable and cute nature about her that just seemed so natural in everything she did.

Reaching into her dresser she pulled out a pair of her yoga pants that were colored purple with a red streak and slipped them on. Then she put on a t-shirt that had her cutie mark on the chest but it also had phoenix wings on the side. It was a gift from Twilight after they started dating and she wore it often.

"I'm gonna go take care of Smolder and then I'll come back and make some breakfast. Pancakes and eggs sound good Sparky?" Sunset asked as she slipped on her sneakers.

"You read my mind Sunny. I'll take care of Spike and then we can eat. I'm so happy to have the day off from tutoring today. Not that I don't love tutoring and substituting at CHS and CPA because I do LOVE IT but some days I just wanna put down the books and just-"

Sunset playfully gasped and stumbled into her loft's railing as she heard such words from Twilight. " 'Put down the books'? WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY SPARKY FOUL VILLAIN!?"

Twilight giggled and played along with Sunset's dramatic acting and invoked a little spell she had been practicing with her new levels of magic. Ever since that magical first night they spent together and made love? Twilight had been diving deep into her magical limits albeit with guidance from Sunset Shimmer however even with that she had gotten pretty good at spell-casting.

With that said she changed her skin tone to a darker shade of purple, her eyes took on a icy blue hue and she sprouted the raven like wings normally associated with Midnight Sparkle. With a devious chuckle she fluttered into the air and smiled at Sunset playfully.

"Oh woe is me! I've been discovered! Such a keen eye you have Sunset Shimmer! Yes it is I! The Great and Powerful Midnight Sparkle!" She proclaimed in boastful and bombastic fashion with lights sparkling behind and around her as she spread her wings and struck a pose.

"You've been partying with Trixie again haven't you?" Sunset smirked as she leaned back nonchalantly giggling at Twilight's dorky antics which she adored.

Her normal demeanor returning as well as her form as the lights shifted around her, engulfed her and morphed her back to her normal state of being seamlessly Twilight giggled and hugged and smooched Sunset on the cheek.

"Well it was your idea I hang out with her more to help her in her studies to find out what makes her tick. Turns out she just really wants people to think she's a good magician and wants to wow and impress and entertain people. She's really not so bad." Twilight said as she updated Sunset on her relationship with Trixie which had always been a rocky one as the magician girl and herself didn't always get along the best.

"Trixie just takes some getting use to and honestly I think she really just needs a girlfriend." Sunset said as she began to head downstairs to go feed Smolder.

Twilight's eyes went wide. "Trixie is gay?!"

Sunset laughed from downstairs. "Still the oblivious dork you've always been. Never change Sparky."

Having finished pouring her kibble into a bowl and filled up her water dish Sunset pet Smolder a little and scooted her towards her food. "Go on and eat up a little and then we can go for a walk alright?"

"Thanks Sun-Butt" Smolder replied kindly with a smile as she began to dig into the kibble Sunset placed in her bowl.

Sunset giggled and rolled her eyes at the little pup. Given she had access to Fluttershy's ability to speak with animals she'd trained herself to do this ability on command similar to Fluttershy however she had much less of a degree of control over animals since they were just more naturally drawn to the element of kindness but it was still nice to be able to speak to her dog.

She had adopted Smolder from the animal shelter about two weeks after Twilight decided to move in with her as she and Spike had formed a special bond and were quite close and she in fact found Smolder very cute and adorable in a tsundre kind of way. She was a bratty little puppy but she was still sweet as could be and playful as all Hell which always put a smile on Sunset's face.

Letting the pup get to her food and water Sunset would go over into her kitchen and would grab a cup and pour herself some apple juice and also grab herself a fresh red apple from a bowl she had sitting on top of her fridge. In the past year she had updated and upgraded her apartment a little since she had Twilight living with her. So now she had a larger fridge and the A/C system had been improved with a dehumidifier to aid with Twilight's allergies to certain pollen.

It was simple with the two of them being so technically and mechanically inclined however Sunset did hope to soon be able to upgrade them to a bigger apartment all together once she saved up enough money. Sure she could easily go to Equestria and get a couple bits and exchange them for big cash but she wanted to feel like she EARNED it and not cheated her way around it...if she could help it that is.

'Then again I can't really complain. I mean Viewtube, drawing, gigs with the rainbooms and helping Twilight with her grant experiments is how we can afford what we do anyway so I'm fine with this and we just need a little bit more to move into the place I found!'

Sunset was so excited to have found a nice place for them to upgrade to once she finally put down the last of the payments and gathered up the first months deposit. It was a little pricey and she would have to use a couple emergency bits she had stashed away in order to keep them aloft for a bit but she didn't mind that. She'd do ANYTHING to make sure she and Twilight could live happily, safely and comfortably because she wanted only the best for them both.

'She deserves the best. I can't wait for her to see it and the special surprise I have set up' Sunset thought with a giddy smile awaiting the time when she would get to see Twilight's reaction to the new place she would soon acquire for them.

Feeling a tug on her yoga pants she could see Smolder with her leash in her mouth and tail wagging excitedly. Smiling she took the leash and fastened it around the dogs neck securely but in a way that was comfortable for her and she would begin to walk to the front door only to be called out to by Twilight.

"Wait for me; I'll come with yoooowaaaaah!!" Twilight said as she came hopping down the stairs trying to get her sneaker on but she stumbled and nearly fell face first but was caught by Sunset before she could hit the ground. Once she was stood back up and her glasses were readjusted she smiled sheepishly. "Eheh. Whoops."

Sunset smiled and booped Twilight on the nose. "Nice moves Klutzy Sparkle. C'mon" She said as she took Twilight by the hand.

"Spiiiike. Come on. Walkies!" Twilight called out with a smile and Spike came running downstairs only to trip over his own paws and tumble onto his butt which made Twilight, Smolder and Sunset laugh.

"I meant to do that!" Spike said as she got up and walked on all fours over to Twilight. He didn't need a leash after all this time so he was ready to go.

"Hmph no fair he gets no leash" Smolder pouted with a bratty huff.

"Hehehhe unlike you he doesn't try and chase down every single cat, squirrel and mail person he sees." Sunset teased.

"Anymore" Twilight teased looking at Spike.

"I was a baby!!" Spike whined.

"Awww you'll always be my baby though!" Twilight said with a smile to Spike.

Playfully pouting Sunset opened the front door so they could go out. "Heeeeey; I thought I was your baby?"

Twilight walked passed her and kissed her on the cheek and smiled. "You're my little pony and my princess. Don't be so greedy"

Blushing Sunset could feel her heat rising a little and then she heard smolder giggle. "Heehehe ooooh someone wants to-"

"You shut your mouth right now or no treats after walkies" Sunset said looking Smolder with a teasing yet serious look.

"Okay, okay I was just kidding. Sheesh" Smolder relented knowing that threat wasn't entirely empty.

"Good girl" Sunset grinned and tugged at the leash gently and began to walk Smolder down the sidewalk with Twilight's hand in hers as they greeted the people who normally walked the streets and their dogs this time of day.

After having taken the dogs for a walk they brought them back into the house and the two pups were now playing with a ball together in the living room area of the apartment while Sunset was in the kitchen making breakfast and Twilight was taking a shower. The smell of fresh pancakes scrambled eggs and toast filled the apartment as Sunset made both their plates giving Twilight a generous stack of flapjacks since she LOVED them for breakfast.

With her phone attached to the speakers some music would fill the air of the house as well giving a relaxed vibe that Sunset always loved to have in the mornings. Unlike Rainbow Dash and Applejack she took her mornings slow, she did things at her own pace and made sure everything was how she wanted it. Twilight was much the same bless her O.C.D afflicted mind but Sunset didn't mind as she was the same way in that regard at times.

The music playing was an instrumental version of one of their songs Dance magic that she had remixed by Vinyl Scratch and it was a song she could listen to over and over as it reminded her of how much fun she had making that video. The dubstep princess had made quite the name for herself after High School and often created original tracks or did remixes for a price as well as DJ'ing which the Rainbooms co-oped often for their band events whenever they needed an extra boost of techno.

'We've got a show coming up later this month for the summer sun celebration. Hehe guess some things just never change' Sunset thought as she swayed and bobbed her head to the music playing around her as she cooked the eggs and scrambled them with cheese like Twilight liked them.

In this world the summer sun celebration was more of a city tradition rather than a global national one like it was in Equestria. There was to be a big festival with games, rides, food and this year the Rainbooms had been hired to provide the entertainment as this years theme was that of harmony and friendship. The Rainbooms and their various acts of charity and heroism had not gone unnoticed and the city wanted to honor and thank the girls for their service over the years and so this years Summer Sun celebration would be headlined by them.

Pinkie Pie was of course in charge of the party and celebration as a whole which of course brought a lot of business to the party planners already successful party planning and catering business that she started shortly after high school. With the Cake's help as well she was going to be in charge of providing all the sugary snacks and confections that would be served at the celebration on top of making sure it was as fun as possible.

Rarity was in charge of designing the various booths and making costumes for the girls stage performance as they would have a special guest joining them who just so happened to be not only Rarity's newest top fashion client but also Applejack's childhood best friend whom she'd known even longer than she knew Rarity. The princess of pop herself; Countess Coloratura! The fainting spell Rarity had from knowing that she would be designing for her as well as preforming with her was a sight to behold.

Then there was Applejack whom along with the rest of the Apple family had been placed in charge of providing animals for the petting zoo as well as fresh cooked meals for everyone of every kind of culture. Applejack; believe it or not was the best chef among their group of friends with Sunset coming in at a close second followed by Rarity and Fluttershy. She had a lot of family coming out to also help with preparations since it was going to be an event that spanned all across Canterlot City.

Fluttershy would also aid in organizing the animals and would also be in charge of first aide as she was not only training to be a vet but also a nurse as her magical abilities also gave her a degree of healing power. Each of the rainbooms in the past year had been expanding their magical power set and so now Fluttershy not only had the ability to talk to animals but she also had the ability to heal minor wounds, something that would come in great handy when applying first aid to any boo-boos a child might get while having fun.

Rainbow Dash would help with advertising the event and spreading the word using her bombastic personality to attract people to the event and doing video after video on her ViewTube channel in order to garner support for it all. She even managed to pull a couple strings and got the Crystal Prep students to help her spread the word to the more 'high class' folks who may have otherwise not gone to the event.

Finally there was Twilight and Sunset. They would be providing a couple of things. One of those things being a special magic show that would be preformed by Sunset, Twilight and Trixie with Trixie being the star of the show and Sunset and Twilight being her lovely assistants. Having formed a better friendship with the boastful magician girl since High School the three girls often found ways to hang out and bond and the most common method was through magic.

Trixie was a natural magician and loved everything about magic, Twilight was a naturally curious mind and was fascinated by magic in every aspect and Sunset was born a unicorn and magic was her special talent.They each loved magic in their own way and could each relate to one another through it. Smiling she giggled to herself thinking back to how foolish and snide she used to be about the very concept of friendship being magic.

'I was such a fool back then. Ah well. Her loss is my gain.' Sunset said as she finished making the eggs and put them on plate for herself and Twilight to dig into once Twilight got out of the shower. With breakfast fully made she would wait for Twilight to come get her food which wasn't very long as she came out moments after she finished setting their trays up.

"Mmmm breakfast smells wonderful Sunny! Is that cinnamon I smell?" Twilight asked as she came out of the bathroom now fully dressed except for some socks and her shoes. She had decided to go with her stripped blue and purple shirt and her purple skirt which was dotted with her cutie mark like stars. As she walked over to Sunset she was putting her hair up into it's ponytail as she walked over and kissed Sunset on the cheek as she set their food on the tray tables for them to eat.

"Mmmhm. Cinnamon sugar pancakes. Pinkie taught me to make them not long ago and I've been dying to try out the recipe. AJ also gave me some fresh made apple cinnamon syrup too. I would have sauteed and caramelized some apples to put on top of them but I gotta go pick up some more apples from AJ" Sunset said with a smile as she sat down and got ready to eat her food along with Twilight.

Twilight would join Sunset on the couch, her mouth watering at the sight of the delicious breakfast her girlfriend cooked them. She counted 6 pancakes stacked evenly and each had a decent amount of butter and the right ratio of syrup as to not make them super soggy. She did wish they had some more fruit to enjoy but she figured they would pick that all up later on.

"No problem we have to go grocery shopping anyway. Did you have a lot planned today?" Twilight asked as she began to cut into her pancakes.

"Not a whole lot. I was mostly just gonna hang out today. Maybe watch a few new anime and do a little planning ahead for the summer sun celebration in a few weeks." Sunset said as she munched on a couple eggs and sipped some apple juice.

"Everyone is so excited for it. I remember going when I was a little girl. I haven't really been since then." Twilight said with a blush on her cheeks.

Sunset smiled. "Then all the more reason for me to make it the most fun and memorable for you and everyone else. Mostly you though." Sunset teased with a wink.

Twilight giggled and blushed trying to hide how flustered that made her. "Dork"

"Oh hi pot. I'm kettle. Gee you're really black today." Sunset retorted. "Anyway what about you? You said you have the day off today so what would my little Sparky like to do hm?"

Twilight pondered that for a moment and simply answered. "Does spending the day making you smile count as something?"

Sunset giggled and half choked nearly swallowing her food wrong. "Ack ahh hahahahah y-you dork. You do that all day everyday without trying."

Twilight kept smiling and said. "Well it's because I am so good at it! All I want to do today is just make you happy and spend time with you. So whatever will make you happy? I'll do." Twilight affirmed with a nod and a cheeky smile and wink at Sunset. "You ARE my princess after all and this IS our castle."

'What did I ever do to deserve her?' Sunset thought and smiled still as she continued to eat her food alongside Twilight.

Swallowing more pancakes and egg she would reply again. "Alright then as your princess I decree that we laze around for the day watching anime and hentai, playing video games and fuck like horny college sorority girls. That would make me VERY happy"

Twilight giggled snorted and replied. "Hehhehe w-well I think we both have enough anime and hentai between our shared files to last us more than just a day, video games are a given and as for that last thing well..." Twilight smiled and moved her legs a little opening up the front of her skirt and revealing she had no panties on. "I wouldn't mind 'going Equestrian' for the day if that makes you happy."

Sunset blushed and licked her lips and said. "Mmmm careful Sparky, I haven't finished breakfast yet but I will surely have a little early morning pie if you tempt me like that"

"Maybe I want you too. Ever think of that?" Twilight responded with an Adagio level smirk on her lips.

Sunset smiled and lifting her finger to channel what access she had to Twilight's magic she captured the girls clit in her magical grip and swirled it in a circle which made the purple geek shudder as she sat there eating. Having magic really did spice up their relationship in ways Sunset never thought to fathom when she was with Flash. With all the abilities granted to her she could do practically anything with Twilight that her imagination allowed and that was such a liberating feeling.

"That a challenge Twi?" Sunset asked with a devious smirk.

With a shuddering moan as her thighs quivered in pleasure as she felt Sunset capture her clit with her version of her telekinetic grip she retaliated by using her own magic grip to tug at Sunset's nipples through the shirt she was wearing and she'd smile smugly.

"Are you accepting?" Twilight responded with a smirk of her own

'Oh she is totally asking for it. But we haven't even showered yet and if we start messing around now nothing will get done.'

Releasing her magical grip on Twilight's perky love button she reveled in the look of adorable confusion on Twilight's face. Wagging a finger at her she giggled and said. "Ah, ah, ah. I'm not falling for your lewdorable antics just yet. I still have to take a shower and we need to handle our errands. Once we finish that? Then you can have some of this" Sunset said with a playfully seductive smile as she wiggled her chest in front of Twilight still feeling her magical grip on her nipple but she wasn't complaining.

'She has a point. We DID have a schedule planned today. Curse you OCD!' Twilight thought with a small pout as she released Sunset's nipple.

"Oh fine. You're lucky my OCD won't let me let go of the fact we agreed to do those things first thus making it a scheduled set of events." Twilight said pouting adorably still as her magic ceased it's hold.

"Heheh well think of it this way, if we get all the important stuff out of the way? Then we have nothing but play time when we come home." Sunset said with a cheeky smile as she began to count off on her fingers the list of things they had to do. "First we gotta drop Smolder and Spike off to Fluttershy for their grooming and flea check. Then we need to get Flurry something for her birthday next week at the toy store and then we need to get stuff from the grocery store."

Twilight nodded as she kept it in mind that Flurry Heart's birthday was next Saturday. "Cadence said that Flurry wants a new stuffed animal or two so that should be easy to find. That and we do need some more fruit and cereal because SOMEONE likes to mix her cereals every morning!"

Sunset rolled her eyes and giggled. "Then after that we can come home and have as much fun sexy time as you want. Pinkie Promise" Sunset said as she made the motions of the promise and then kissed Twilight on the lips briefly and winked.

Kissing Sunset back she smiled and sighed in content. "Okay. Deal. You go on shower and get dressed. I'll do the dishes and get Spike and Smolder ready."

Smiling Sunset got up and stretched a bit turning to go and get in the shower. "Thanks Twi. Back in a bit." She yelped and giggled and she felt Twilight spank her butt and she shot her a playful look. "Flanks of steel."

Twilight giggled at her girlfriend's silliness and shooed her off to the shower with a hand. "Go on and get cleaned up before we get off schedule."

Sunset laughed and rolled her eyes. "Yes 'mom' "

They both shared a laugh as Twilight took their dishes into the kitchen to be washed and Sunset went to the bathroom to wash herself. Twilight would use her magic to multitask and wash and dry the dishes in record time meanwhile Sunset would go through her normal motions of taking a shower as she applied soap, shampoo/conditioner and finished out with a rinse.

When she was finished she got out the shower and channeling her magic and accessing Rainbow's super speed she spun around in a red and yellow vortex to dry herself off and then using Rarity's magic she manifested her clothing onto her body...She still had no idea how that worked but she didn't care! Instant clothes for the win!

Once she stopped spinning she fluffed out her hair and smiled as she looked in the mirror doing a couple poses.

"Lookin' good there Sunny." Sunset said with a chuckle. She was wearing her orange low cut shirt that pushed up her breasts a bit along with her black vest with the spiked collar. She also had on her magenta skirt and black short heeled boots as well as her red geode of empathy around her neck.

Now fully dressed Sunset took time to apply lotion, brush her teeth and brush her hair a little before going back out to see Twilight who had just finished a phone call of sorts and it seems she was quite happy.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" Twilight said as she hopped about happily with the most giddy smile on her face.

"Ohhh six consectuive joyful yes'? What's the good news?" Sunset said with a chuckle as she came towards Twilight.

"I just got a call from the Manehatten Institute of Technology and Advancement! They accepted my plans for magic based technology beginning with the sustainable harmony core we've been developing! They said I should receive a grant in the mail for my search by the end of the day!"

Sunset smiled happily as she was pretty excited about this upcoming project they would be working on. With a fist pump she would say. "Booyah! Yes! That's amazing Sparky!"

Twilight happily clapped and smiled "Oh just think of all the experiments! Eeeeeee!"

She loved it when Twilight geeked out like this; coming up to her she would hug her close and smooch her on the lips as she went to go and grab her keys, wallet and backpack from their usual spots. Once she had what she needed she gave a whistle to Smolder and Spike simply followed Twilight out of habit.

As they left the apartment Sunset would use her key to lock it and Twilight would double check it was locked after Sunset did so with some of her big brother's security nut nature having rubbed off on her. She would then follow Sunset to her car and they would all get in with Spike and Smolder getting in the bad and cuddling in the back seat. Once everyone was secure she would pull out of the parking space she held and head on off to Fluttershy's.

As she began to drive Twilight gently placed her hand on Sunset's as she kept it on the gearshift and by instinct Sunset linked their hands and smiled the whole while driving. Twilight would also then turn on the bluetooth in the car and play some nice travel music for the both and the selection was a favorite of theirs which made Sunset smile.

'She really is just the best thing ever.'

Fluttershy's House

As they road through the streets of Canterlot City headed towards their animal loving friend's home to drop off their puppies for their normal grooming, flea check and some play time; Twilight and Sunset enjoyed one another's company as the music played through the bluetooth of the car. The summers in Canterlot had been rather peaceful lately with no real magic crisis popping up, in fact it had been about a year and some change since they'd graduated and none of them had really encountered any magic problems.

The thought of this was brought about when driving by and she passed by the local park and saw the new botanical gardens being tended to by it's head gardener Wallflower Blush whom she had heard had come out of her shell enough to start dating herself! She stayed in close contact with many of her friends from high school like Wallflower and was up to date on things they each did in life currently.

There were some like Rainbow, Fluttershy & Twilight who'd decided to go to college during the Fall and Spring opting to take off in the summer with the slight exception on Rainbow since she played a lot of sports but currently she was on her off time which was good for the speedy athlete. She was playing two sports in college Soccer and Track/Field.

With her amazing skill and strength Rainbow Dash had made quite the name for herself on the campus of Canterlot University with her moniker on the field being Sonic Rainboom Dash given that during her debut game for the school? She kicked a ball so hard it appeared to have broken the sound barrier and tore through the soccer net and let a sizable dent in the iron bleacher.

'Craziest part about that is Rainbow didn't use any of her magic. She's just gotten that much stronger since wearing it and because of all the insane training she does.'

Fluttershy was doing really well in her pursuit of a veterinarian degree so she could begin the next phase of a life long dream of her's to provide an oasis for animals of all walks of life to come and heal, rest, relax and even breed if they were a dwindling species. Fluttershy knew it would be difficult trying to get the design approved and more so get it built however she knew with help from her friends, the community and of course Rainbow Dash to help keep her wits strong? She knew she would get it done. Sunset would see to it her dream came true.

'I remember how I used to viciously mock her idea for that oasis. If nothing else it'll also be a way to flip off past me for being such a cunt' Sunset thought as she came to a stop light still thinking of her other friends as Twilight sat next to her bobbing her head back and forth to the song being played. She smiled at how adorable she looked just being in good mood, her smile just made everything brighter for her and she could never get enough of that. Listening to the music her thoughts were brought to the Dazzlings. Adagio Dazzle in particular.

'I wonder how Adagio's been. She said she was going away to Manhatten for a little while get away and experience a city she hadn't been too much during her long time on Earth.'

'Aria and Sonata have grown up so much and are moving past me. They no longer need anyone to lead them. And thus I have no to lead. Time I went out into the world and found new purpose.'

Sunset couldn't blame her, she never much went outside of Canterlot City unless she went to the beach with the girls or went camping which wasn't very often anymore. She mostly stayed in the city because it met most if not all of her needs however she still did wish to travel and Manehatten was certainly one of those places on her list. Of the three siren's Adagio was the one who was the one with the most direction but had trouble finding what she wanted which was someone who could match her intensity. Someone who would adore and cherish her like how she cherished Twilight.

'I really do feel bad for her and the others. They just wanted to be loved and shown attention. To feel special. Like they mattered. That their existence was something worth while.'

Adagio had told her much about herself and her past with the other two sirens. How in the beginning they never thrived or lusted after power or more magic. At first all they wanted was to sing and be heard, to be told they were beautiful and worth while, to have friends and maybe even fall in love and start a family of their own. They came from a pretty broken home with them having come from the same mother but different fathers.

'I never knew my mother. Celestia was the only parental figure I ever had. But the Dazzlings mother? I should have felt bad when Adagio told me that Celestia banished her to eternal imprisonment in a undersea trench...I didn't.'

Sunset didn't like that she couldn't feel empathy or sympathy for some people or things, it made her feel so...dirty. She wanted to try and see the best in people and other living beings magical or not however based on what Adagio had told her about her mother? The woman known as Harmonic Melody was cold, cruel, manipulative, crass and believed herself the most talented, beautiful and powerful creature in Equestria and even made a point to express this to her many...many off-spring.

'Mother got around quite a bit. At first it was preservation. Then it was subjugation. But of course it was always about one thing with mommy dearest. Domination.' She could remember the pure vile dripping from Adagio's voice as she could tell speaking of her past and how unkind her mother was to her effected who she ended up becoming.

Of all her siblings Adagio was only ever close with Aria and Sonata. The only two who ever accepted her for who she was. Sunset had tried many times to press Adagio about her other family but she was insistent she didn't wish to speak about them as she considered them all dead to her both figuratively and literally. However she did let it slip that she did at one point have two other siblings and in a rare case THEY were all birthed from the same father but Adagio would say nothing more.

'I hope one day we can patch up her family somehow. Maybe we can visit Equestria and she can talk to Celestia?' Sunset thought and then she felt something prod her and she came to find it was a purple finger poking her in the cheek.

"Penny for your thoughts Sunny? You've been pretty quiet." Twilight asked in her curious tone when she wanted to know something and Sunset knew she had to answer.

With a small sigh and exhale of breath Sunset put on a smile. "Just thinking about life, how friends are doing and such. It's been a few months since we've seen Adagio so I hope to see her soon for the Summer Sun Celebration. Aria and Sonata have been doing well though so it's good to always see and hear from them at least."

Twilight nodded and could always tell when Sunset had a lot on her mind. The twitches and contortions of her face and how talkative she was often indicated something about Sunset to Twilight. She too had been wondering how all their friends had been doing as they continued to drive getting closer to Fluttershy's house.

"Yeah I'm happy the two of them have finally started to be more independent. They'd let Adagio tell them what to do for so long it almost seemed like they wouldn't be able to survive without her but that couldn't be further from the truth. Aria is really smart and of course strong so she can keep them both safe and Sonata always manages to keep the mood cheery between the two of them." Twilight stated as she thought about the other two sirens of the trio. She smiled at the thought of how well she'd heard they were both doing last she'd communicated with them about a month ago.

"Heh yeah Aria's been putting her musical skills to use combined with those guitar lessons I gave her. That girl can SHRED and it shows what with all the rock shows she's been putting on lately." Sunset said with a chuckle as she even had some of Aria's tracks on her phone. She was a natural punk rock type and her band called The Blazers was rapidly gaining in popularity among the edgier types in Canterlot and even Manehatten since they played a few shows there last year.

"She is really good at rocking out I have to say. And Sonata is really happy working with Trixie as her assistant. I can't wait to see them both at the Summer Sun Celebration this year! Trixie has a gotten so good with her illusions! I hear that Microchips is also working with them as their tech specialist" Twilight said trying not to sound jealous or offended by the fact that they picked Micro over her.

Sunset was no fool however and could tell Twilight was totally jelly. Giggling a little she gave a snide side smile. "Hey Sparky what does your brother like to put on his toast?"

Twilight raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Jelly. What's that got to do with anyth-oohoohohoho You think you're cute don't you!?!" Twilight realized that Sunset just made a fool out of her and was fuming with the most adorable pout ever as she tried to look mad at Sunset.

As she continued driving and saw their destination in sight she kicked on the gas and gunned it to the side walk and skid into her usual parking spot and stopped the car on a dime making Twilight rattle around in her seat and when the car stopped her hair was frazzled out of its bun and her glasses were askew. Grinning Sunset then said.

"Meinu Watashi Kawairashī" Sunset smirked saying 'Bitch I'm adorable' in Japanese and sticking her tongue out at Twilight in classic anime girl fashion.

In the back of the car the two puppies growled and looked ready to dog pile on Sunset along with Twilight. Twilight herself sat up in her seat after fumbling about to get her seat belt off, used her magic to fix her glasses and also remove her hair clip because she knew she would be chasing Sunset around Fluttershy's yard in the next couple of seconds.

"You have about 10 seconds to run while I take off my shoes and let the puppies out of this car Sunset Shimmer." Twilight said as her eyes began glowing and her shoes began to come undone.

Sunset blushed and felt a bead of sweat run down her neck. She used her full name. She was in trouble but in the fun 'I'm so gonna get ya' kind of way. Looking out the window of the car she saw Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy on Fluttershy's front lawn, Shy was doing yoga with her animals and Rainbow seemed to be doing something sports related with Scootaloo and a few other animals.

"Oh would you look at that, Rainbow and Scoots are here. Gonna go say hi. BYE!" Sunset said as she opened the car as fast as she could and zipped out across the street ready for Twilight to begin chasing her. She enjoyed it though, their little games of tag, it was like cat and mouse and she loved every minute of it.

Twilight took a deep breath and used her magic to open the back seat of the car to let the dogs out and smiled at them. "You two go and join Fluttershy Okay? Mama Sparkle needs to teach SOMEPONY some manners." She laced her voice with a thin layer of seriousness but she was also still being playful as she got ready to dart off after Sunset.

"Pounce her a few times for us?" Smolder asked with the most adorable puppy dog pout.

"Count on it." Twilight replied with smile and shooed them away. "Run along. Shy is doing Yoga time."

The two puppies nodded and jumped out of the car and ran over to Fluttershy's yard making room for Twilight.

Craning her neck and cracking it a bit in spots she would remove her glasses and place them in the glove compartment of the car and with a focusing of her magic she enhanced her vision to 20/20. She could do this more often or just get contacts but Sunset always said she looked cuter with her glasses on so she kept them. But right now they would just get in the way.

"Ready or not here we come Sunny-Butt!" Twilight said as she smirked a viciously playful grin as she got out of the car and darted off after Sunset Shimmer like a bat out of Hell.

Fluttershy's House

Moments Earlier.

It was such a nice day. The sun was out, the clouds were generous enough to make shade for them but still give enough light to warm the body and the spirit. The wind was in a calming relaxed breezy state and all her animal friends were in zen along with her. This was Fluttershy's summer furry yoga time that she held for all the animal friends left in her care during the summer time when friends were away or if someone needed her to pet sit for them in the summer seasons when she was home visiting.

"And stretch, extend paws and tail, breath in, breath out." Fluttershy said in a calm zen like voice taught to her by her college roommate Treehugger. The two of them did yoga and meditation every morning before class with Rainbow Dash even joining from time to time before going on her morning jogs.

The year and some months away from home had done Fluttershy's body wonders and puberty hit the meek girl harder than the rainbooms hit the dazzlings with a rainbow. With help from Rainbow Dash in terms of working out and a consistently healthy diet; Fluttershy had evolved from a shy little caterpillar that she'd been in High School and blossomed into a full blown(albeit still adorably shy) butterfly with a body that would make some models jealous.

As she stretched out her arms and legs while on all fours to mimic the motions of the animals as the animals followed her; her now very oppai breasts as Rainbow Dash called them swayed back and forth in the pink and yellow sports top she was wearing. Her curvy legs and thighs straining in the pink yoga pants she was wear, her toes flexing without her socks present showing off the cute little pink butterflies painted on her toenails. Her long pink hair tied into a ponytail and a sweatband around her forehead.

"Good job every critter. Now go into a relaxation state and we can begin the quiet meditation-"

SKKKKKKKKKKKKKIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRT!!

"Eeeep!" Fluttershy yelped nearly jumping out of her skin at the loud skidding of tires on the road. Tumbling onto her rear she looked over to see it was Sunset's car. This brought a smile to her face however also brought a look of confusion as to why Sunset pulled in so fast that like that however she soon got her answer when she saw Sunset bolting out of the car like she was being chased by some monster and sped by her saying.

"HI SHY, BYE SHY!" Sunset said rapidly as she ran off towards Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo.

It was then Smolder and Spike came over and stopped in front of her with cheeky smiles on their faces as Fluttershy looked at them for answers as to whats going on.

"Sunny pranked Twi by skidding the car and stopping hard and frazzling her" Smolder giggled with a smirk.

"Twi is gonna get her." Spike chuckled as she watched Twilight burst forward from the car and begin chasing Sunset Shimmer like a mad woman.

"SUNSET SHIMMER YOU GET BACK HERE AND FACE ME!!!!" Twilight shouted in a magically amplified voice making it thunder and echo as she gave chase.

Fluttershy sighed and stood up and dusted the grass off herself and went to walk towards her house and ushered all the animals to follow her inside so they could continue the yoga inside. She heard a collection of whines and barks and yowls of protest however they were instantly squashed when she used 'the stare' and uttered one word. "In." She pointed a dominant finger inside the house and every single critter obeyed Fluttershy.

With a proud smile she skipped her way back inside and closed the door knowing that things were likely to get crazy outside given Rainbow was likely to get involved. She knew not even her stare would get them to stop and truthfully? She didn't want to stop them because she had a feeling the end result of this was going to be a fun one.

"One more! I've almost narrowed it down!" Scootaloo said with excited vigor as she hopped back and forth on her feet ready for one more game.

Today was finally going to be the day that Scootaloo got her own pet. Her auntie's Lofty & Holiday said she was finally old enough and shown responsible enough to own a pet. So of course she would come to Fluttershy to pick out her first pet. Rainbow Dash of course wanted to help and was here as coach for the animals to get them pumped for the different challenges Scootaloo had in mind to see which of them was fit to be her pet since she was a young daredevil.

Rainbow was dressed in her typical gym wear which consisted of a blue and white t-shirt, skin tight sweat pants with a rainbow stripe down the thighs and her track shoes with her hair tied into a long ponytail with a red sweatband around her forehead.

The animals of choice were a raccoon. A blue Jay. A dog. A cat. A rabbit & a mouse. Scootaloo had asked if Fluttershy if she had any more 'awesome' animals however she wasn't allowed to have a bear for a pet. Each of the critters were panting and seemed exhausted except for the blue jay who fluttered in the air looking spry and ready to go again just like Scootaloo.

"C'mon guys! You wanna impress Scoots don't cha? Up and at em! She needs an awesome pet and you all need to get it in gear! So this next challenge is simple! A good ole fashion raaaaaaaaaaah!" Rainbow was giving a rousing speech to the animals in line to be the pet for her honorary sister Scootaloo when she suddenly felt a palm swiftly slap her as on the ass.

"HI DASHIE BYE DASHIE!" Sunset shouted as she slapped Rainbow ass soaked up some of her magic and zipped off at super speed with a red and yellow coattail behind her. 'Pay back for all those slaps to the ass in High School!'

Rainbow gaped and wondered what the Hell just happened but then she realized everything when she saw a flustered and madly giggling Twilight rocketing her way chasing Sunset. Putting up a hand to stop Twilight she looked at her with a smirk as she put a hand on her hip.

"She skid stopped and fumbled you. Didn't she?" Rainbow smirked as she recalled hearing the car skid to a halt but didn't pay it much mind after that.

With a venomously sweet smile Twilight said. "I'll buy you a 6 pack of hard zap apple cider and do your first big research paper if you catch and bring her back to me." Twilight said plainly knowing Rainbow was going to want to make a deal.

Rainbow chuckled and stretched a bit and tapped her right foot to the ground as she cracked her neck a bit. "You had me at six pack of zap apple cider. Deals a deal Egghead. I'll do my own work but thanks for the offer. Gotta Dash." Rainbow said as she zoomed off with a small sonic boom knocking Twilight on her butt in the grass next to Scootaloo.

"Hehe I love it when she says that." Scootaloo remarked as she saw her mentor speed off to play tag with Sunset Shimmer.

Scootaloo had grown quite a bit since she had last seen the young daredevil. She was currently a sophomore in High School and had grown a couple inches taller however compared to Rainbow she was still pretty short however she did grow out her purple hair a little. She was dressed in typical shorts and a t-shirt with sneakers meant for exercising and had her trademark scooter next to her as it looked like she was gearing up for a race with the animals for some reason.

"Hi Scoots." Twilight said with a small sigh and chuckle.

"Heya Twi. Sunset got you good with that prank. Heh you really don't think she will be able to outrun Rainbow though do you?" Scootaloo looked at Twilight incredulously. She had full faith in Rainbow Dash's ability to catch Sunset Shimmer in no time at all.

"Heh oh I KNOW she will catch her. But Rainbow is a show off so she's gonna milk it and let Sunny run. Which is exactly what I want." Twilight gave a devious little giggle as she stood back up and dusted off her skirt.

"Were you always this scary?" Scootaloo said feeling a cold shiver run up her spine.

Twilight smirked and stuck her tongue out at the young daredevil and said "Only when I wanna be. I estimate that Rainbow will bring Sunset back here in the next hm...30.5 seconds. She'll take 10 or 20; give or take a few nano-sec just to mess with her." Twilight rolled her eyes and giggled.

Scootaloo cocked an eyebrow. "How do you know that?"

Twilight smiled and looked at her watch. "Because Rainbow, much like Sunset LOVES to 'play' with her prey first and is a show off."

Scootaloo blushed and rolled her eyes as she went back to playing with the animals with a huff. "Tch gross. You sound like Sweetie Belle."

Twilight raised an eyebrow at that and looked at Scootaloo noticing her change in demeanor. "Oh? And what's wrong with that? Rarity tells me Sweetie has been doing quite well and she's even dating I hear" Twilight replied with a smile having heard tell from Rarity that her little sister had grown up quite a bit and moved past many of her juvenile phases and that included her rivalry/hatred for a certain spoiled bully.

Scootaloo's face morphed into a pained scowl. "Yeah shes dating that...that...no good spoiled cunt Diamond Tiara!" Pure venom dripped from her voice when she uttered Diamonds name. She hated that spoiled little snot with all her heart and she was awaiting the day she would break Sweetie's heart just so she could kick the shit out of her smug little rich face.

Twilight gasped and stomped her foot and glared at Scootaloo. "Scootaloo! You watch you mouth! Diamond Tiara is not that kind of girl anymore I am sure! That's no way to talk about-"

Scootaloo whirled around and turned to Twilight with her face formed into a scowl so hard it made Twilight cringe but it silenced her right away. "Oh yeah?! Why the FUCK not huh!? She made it a point to torment and bully us EVERY SINGLE DAY since 3rd grade! She's made Sweetie and Bloom cry so many FUCKING TIMES! I CAN'T COUNT HOW MANY! But I could never do anything about it because they made me promise not to hurt her!!" Scootaloo screamed at Twilight letting everything on her chest out.

With a bitter chuckle her voice hitched as she tried not to cry. "But ohhhh because she came out and was like 'I'm sorry my mommy wasn't nice to me and that's why I'm such a selfish and spoiled cunt stain; lets be friends now!' I'm just supposed to let it all go?! Fuck that! FUCK HER! I HATE HER!" Scootaloo seethed, huffed and then before Twilight could say anything she stormed off to Fluttershy's backyard with the animals following close behind her with the gates of the backyard slamming as she left Twilight alone.

Twilight was going to follow her but she figured she would wait for Sunset and Rainbow to come back first. This was a friendship problem that demanded their attention and it demanded it quickly. She may have been stronger than she was many years ago however Twilight was still among the more sensitive of the Rainbooms and hearing Scootaloo scream and curse at her like that? It still hurt her feelings.

Tears fresh in her eyes Twilight stood her ground and waited. "Sunny...Dashie. Please hurry back." Twilight asked as she continued to look at her watch and await their return.

Canterlot City

One great thing about living in such a big city was the fact that it was so big. Skyscrapers, towers, big buildings, small buildings. You name it, the city had it, the streets always freshly paved and easy to drive on. Or in this case? Run on. Two blurs of different color light zipped through out the city crossing paths and trying to tag on another or so it seemed. The red and yellow blur seemed to be avoiding the rainbow color one and upon closer inspection one would see it was Rainbow Dash hot on the hooves of Sunset Shimmer.

"You can't run forever and you know it Sun-Butt!" Rainbow said as she raced through the streets trying to tag Sunset Shimmer and grab her so she could bring her back to Fluttershy's.

"We'll see about that Skittle-Tits!" Sunset shouted behind her as she accelerated forward using her magic to increase her speed however Rainbow was right. She would not be able to keep this up unless she kept making contact with Rainbow to absorb more magic and while everything was in fact happening at super speed? She and Twilight had other errands to run.

'Heh. run. Errands. Nice one Sunset'

"Surprise!" Rainbow shouted as she came out from around a corner hot on Sunset's heels as they raced through a few alley ways.

"Oh crap!" Sunset made a U-Turn and then zipped left and began running up a nearby wall to avoid Rainbow Dash.

"Oh no you don't!" Rainbow smirked as she zipped after Sunset moving with speedy limber grace. All that yoga and those new stretches Fluttershy taught her really paid off!

Sunset and Rainbow would jump, run and parkour up and over the sides of buildings using their great speed to make sure no one normal could see them as anything more than a couple of motion blurs. Each of them trying to tag the other so the game could end, Sunset had tagged Rainbow first when she ass slapped her. So now Rainbow was trying to tag Sunset back so she could bring her back to the house to face her punishment at Twilight's hand which would be much better than any revenge Rainbow herself could inflict and that said a lot for how creatively devious the little geek could be.

'Alright enough toying with her.'

Rainbow thought with a grin as lightning began to crackle around her body and surge within her eyes and across her chromatic hair. Accessing more of her powers rainbow began gaining on Sunset Shimmer effortlessly which made Sunset try and work harder to avoid her but Rainbow was barely having to really push at all. Try as she might Sunset knew the outcome of this and was just seeing how long it would take Rainbow to get bored of chasing her.

Leading the two of them to the edge of the city near Applejack's farm Sunset skidded to a stop and smile as Rainbow stopped as well and saw where they ended up. Grinning she walked over and punched her friend playfully in the arm and chuckled as she playfully slapped her back on the ass.

"Tag. You're it." Rainbow said with a cheeky smile that widened as she said. "Someone's flanks have gotten tighter. Niiiice"

Sunset chortled and then broke into a full blown laugh as she yelped when Rainbow slapped her butt. "Nice to see you too Dashie. C'mon lets grab a couple ciders and head back to Shy's." Sunset put her fingers to her lips and gave a whistle that Applejack would find familiar as she could see the Apple farm working the fields with her younger sister picking trees a couple yards away.

"Sounds good ta me. Yoooo! AJ!" Rainbow called over with a wave and smile to her cowgirl best friend.

Applejack seemingly would tell Apple Bloom to take a break as she slugged a towel around her neck after wiping some sweat off her brow. Walking over with all her southern swag in her step Applejack sported an outfit that was very clearly made by Rarity, a red top that held up the farmers supple breasts and show off her freckled orange skin at the shoulders as well as show off her midriff. A checkered red cloth wrapped into her golden blonde hair that was in a braided ponytail as she bore her brown stetson on her head.

Of all her features though Applejack's most defined trait was most certainly a her legs and her thighs which were wearing a pair of very breathable denim shorts that showed off a decent amount of thigh on the farmer. As her brown cowgirl boots marched over Applejack waved happily at her two friends and ushered them over to a nearby crate of Cinder she'd had out for herself and Apple Bloom to sip on while they worked.

"Howdy y'all; two hard ones?" Applejack said with a tip of her hat.

Sunset gasped playfully. "Why Applejack I have a girlfriend! And so do you! And Dashie too! I know we are all best friends but goodness!"

Deciding to play along Rainbow smirked. "Yeah AJ I mean I know there was that one time we kissed on a dare by in High School but I didn't think you'd brave enough to just ask up front like that. I might be able to convince Shy into a threesome."

Applejack snorted and rolled her eyes as she passed her two friends a cider each. "Fuck ya'll."

"Do we have Rarity's blessing? Cause I was not entirely joking about that threesome idea." Rainbow smirked

"I'd say suck my dick but I know you'd just make a joke out of that too." Applejack chuckled and took a swig of her own cider.

Rainbow laughed and cracked her Cider open and took a sip and exhaled a refreshed. "Ahh. Heheh hey you know I'm Bi and I like 'em BIG. Having a best friend who is more hung than most guys is VERY convenient and NONE of us get to have any fun with it except for the primadonna!" Rainbow said which got a laugh out of Sunset and Applejack.

"Pffffthahahahahahahah o-ohhohoho c-celestia m-my ribs. D-Dash you are such a freak! But in like the best way!" Sunset laughed spitting out some of her cider when Rainbow made that joke. She would be lying if she tried to say the thought of getting fucked by Applejack didn't cross her mind cause it totally had.

"Hehehe w-well too bad. This here-" Applejack proudly grabbed at her crotch and was not ashamed at all to show she had a bulge growing just to make her point. "-proudly belongs to 'the primadonna' as ya so love to call 'er Dashie."

Rainbow smirked and clicked her tongue. "Watch. Mark my words one day I will get Rarity to let me ride that thing."

Applejack rolled her eyes and took another sip of Cider. "What? Shy ain't doin' it for you or something?"

Rainbow scoffed. "Don't be stupid. Shy is and always will be the best sex I had or ever will have. I just wanna see if I can outlast Rarity on something that big that's all." Rainbow said in a tsundre-like manner.

Sunset sipped more of her cider finally having calmed her giggle fit from earlier. "Hehe well if you want my 2 cents? For as generous as Rarity is? I don't think she'd be willing to share that."

Applejack smirked. "Smartest thing said all day sugarcube." Applejack said as she finished downing her cider tossing the bottle in a nearby trashcan.

Sunset and Rainbow did the same and each gave a handshake or high five to the farmer. They each had to get back to their daily doings and for Applejack that meant finishing up the chores and then after that she had a spa date with Rarity in the afternoon to help her unwind and relax.

"See ya AJ" Rainbow said with a two finger salute.

"Happy trails AJ" Sunset said in a teasing southern accent with snide teasing grin.

Applejack kissed her two middle fingers and pointed them up at her two friends in a playful manner as they made to leave and she turned and went back over to the apple fields to continue her apple picking. The two speedsters would begin walking down the trail away from the farm and then suddenly Sunset felt something tug at her heart...no...something deeper than that.

Clutching her hand to her chest she stumbled a bit and Rainbow instantly was at her side to see what was wrong. Sunset felt tears running down her face and put a hand to her cheek to confirm that her eyes were in fact crying. But why? She was perfectly mine a moment ago.

"Hey, hey you alright? Cider wasn't too hard was it?" Rainbow asked with concern as she saw the tears on her friends cheek fall to the ground.

Sunset felt her soul burning, pulling her towards something, someone. She felt a pain in her heart but it wasn't from anything she directly felt. That's when the realization came. "We need to get back to Fluttershy's. RIGHT NOW" Sunset's voice was devoid of any cheer and full of urgency.

Rainbow knew when Sunset cut the bullshit and the teasing that things were serious and she needed to take them serious. "Let's go."

Sunset steadied herself and Rainbow held out her hand. Sunset took her hand and a surge of energy rushed through Sunset as she siphoned off more of Rainbow's magic and once she had what she needed the two of them blasted off leaving a cloud of dust kicked up in their wake. Pushing themselves as fast as they could possibly go they busted through the sound barrier shattering a couple windows of cars and shops that that sped by. It took them all of about 10 seconds to arrive back at Fluttershy's and Rainbow immediately went to check on Fluttershy while Twilight went to see Twilight.

"Sparky!" Sunset came to a skidding halt as she ran up to Twilight who was still standing where she had been after she and Rainbow ran off, crying silently. When she saw Sunset arrive she embraced her and cried into the fiery haired girls chest, her shoulders jumping as she cried softly into her lovers embrace. Sunset held her close and ran a calming hand through the girls hair and rocked her back and forth.

"Shhhh, hey, hey now whats all this about? You were all smiles and nerdy rage when I dashed off. What happened? Did one of the animals hurt you?" Sunset asked curiously and in a gentle tone to get Twilight to tell her what happened.

Twilight had her face buried in Sunset's chest and gave a muffled reply "-aloo"

Sunset raised an eyebrow and pulled back a little and looked at Twilight, seeing her crying face made her heart sink. Wiping her face with her hand and fixing her glasses and held her close enough to where she could speak openly. "Let's try that one more time. What happened Twi?"

Twilight sniffled and was about to give a reply until Rainbow Dash came out along with Fluttershy and the meek girl instantly ran over to Twilight with a concerned expression.

"Oh my goodness Twilight are you alright?! What happened? Are you hurt?" Fluttershy asked with great concern.

Twilight nodded, her more introverted nature coming back. Whenever she was super upset or crying like this she found it hard to give direct coherent answers to things so she would mostly just nod or shake her head yes or no.

Fluttershy knew this about Twilight and she herself had much the same problem. With a calming smile she stepped forward and Sunset allowed her into their space, placing a hand on Twilight's she asked. "Physical or emotional?"

Twilight sniffled, her voice hitched and she choked out. "E-Emotional."

Fluttershy gave a calm and understanding nod. "So that yelling I heard a little while ago was from out here then?"

Sunset's gaze hardened a bit. "Who yelled at you? I'll tear them a new asshole right now." Someone made her Twily cry and she didn't care WHO it was they were either gonna apologize or they'd face her wrath!

Twilight opened her mouth to give an answer but was unsure if she should say. She knew how Sunset could get when she was trying to protect her friends and she imagined it was going to be worse because Twilight was now her girlfriend and that meant she'd be especially touchy about people hurting Twilight's feelings and making her cry. However Twilight also knew if she said nothing that Sunset would just get more upset about Twilight not wanting her to get involved and she knew that something had to be done. Mustering her courage she said. "S-Scootaloo."

Rainbow reeled in shock. "Scoots? What did she say?"

Twilight sniffled and prepared to recount the story. "I-I was talking to her about how things have been lately. I brought up how I heard from Rarity that Diamond Tiara and Sweetie Belle are dating and-"

"Diamond and Sweetie are dating?" Sunset asked reeling from the shock of that news. 'Huh. Guess my hunch was right...wait now isn't the time for that!'

Twilight sighed and nodded. "Yes. They are. And Scootaloo isn't happy about it at all. She called Diamond Tiara a lot of mean and slanderous things and stormed off into the backyard and hasn't come back since. S-She didn't say anything mean or hurtful about me at all so don't yell at her for that but it's just...I was just trying to be nice and supportive." A few tears came again and Sunset hugged her close and patted her back.

"Shhh, it's alright Twi. You were a BIG help because now we know what we have to do. Don't we girls?" Sunset looked at Rainbow and at Fluttershy with a serious look but they both got the message loud and clear.

Rainbow nodded and turned to go to the backyard. "I'll go talk with Scoots. She knows better than to bad mouth people like that when they are trying to change and I've had it up to hear with her unhealthy hate for that girl. Yeah she used to be horrible but she isn't like that anymore and really her mother is a big part of all that. So this all ends TODAY" Rainbow sighed and shook her head as she went to the backyard to find Scootaloo.

"I'll call Rarity. Hopefully she isn't busy and can bring Sweetie." Fluttershy went inside and ushered Twilight and Sunset to follow her. As they did follow Spike came running out of the house sensing that his owner was in distress.

Twilight would pick Spike up and cuddle her oldest friend close, finding much comfort in his soft fur as well as Sunset's touch. "Thank you. All of you" Twilight said with a sniffle as she walked in the house.

"It's what friends are for Twilight. Make yourself at home. I'll put on some tea and call Rarity." Fluttershy said as she let them sit on the couch as she went into the kitchen to prepare tea and make a phone call.

"It'll be alright Twi. We'll get through this little bump and you'll be all smiles when its over. I pinkie promise." Sunset said making the promise to Twilight and sealing it with a kiss on the lips as she cuddled her girlfriend in a loving embrace and let her cry.

Twilight said nothing as Sunset kissed her. She simply let it happen, collapsed into Sunset and cried not just because she was still reeling from the verbal lashing Scootaloo gave but also because Sunset was just so loving and nurturing that she couldn't help but cry because she knew she could bare on her emotions on Sunset and that Sunset would accept and empathize with them. It was why she loved her so.

'She completes me.'

Fluttershy's Backyard

Rainbow Dash was among the oldest of their group of friends even though she was considered to be one of the more immature of the group. However she was a lot more responsible than many gave her credit for, case in point how she planned to scold Scootaloo for blowing up at her friend like that when she was just trying to help. Rainbow knew full well Scootaloo's deep seething hatred for Diamond Tiara and she in no way thought her hate of the girl was unfounded; however what she did find unacceptable was Scootaloo's insistence of holding onto that hate and letting it damage her friendship with Sweetie Belle. As her loyal big pseudo sister she couldn't let that slide and so she had to strap up her big sister boots and go deal with the little squirt.

"Alright; enough is enough. Time to nip this in the ass once and for all. Dammit Scoots; why can't you just be honest with yourself?" Rainbow spoke to no one in particular as she went into her girlfriends backyard to reprimand and retrieve her pseudo little sister. She didn't like having to get all serious and be an 'adult' with Scootaloo but she knew full well there was a time for fun and games and there was a time for serious action. Now was a time for serious action.

'Time for a little tough love.' Rainbow thought as she came closer to the backyard.

As she marched into the backyard, swinging open the fence doors she scanned the area for Scootaloo and found her nowhere. Fluttershy had a pretty big backyard for the animals however it was small enough to where someone or something couldn't hide very well for fear of potential predators added with Fluttershy's paranoid nature but Rainbow loved her for it. With a sigh she concluded that the little runt could only be in one other location, the one spot she always went to when she was upset or angry and wanted to be alone.

"You really are just like me when I was your age. What a drag." With a sigh she walked into the backyard and towards a large oak tree that supported a treehouse. It had at one point belonged to Fluttershy and it was here that in the past days she, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie & Applejack would come together and play as friends. It was their secret but not so secret place to hang out and just be themselves. She remembered all the fun times they had in there and remembered how good it felt to bequeath the treehouse to the CMC when they were younger.

She remembered how she, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie, and Fluttershy helped repaint and fix up the battered up old structure a few years back, making it a bit bigger for them so that they didn't outgrow it as quickly as the five friends once did and so that whenever they came to visit them they didn't hit themselves on the head. Something that happened to Rainbow a lot when they started getting taller.

Marching over to the tree she looked up at the big wooden and metal reinforced treehouse she and her friends helped build for the three friends to strengthen their bonds of friendship. She knew she would have to stop taking a trip down memory lane and get tough for a little bit because she knew Scootaloo was going to be hard to reason with on this matter. With a sigh of resolve she wanted to see if she could solve this with words first.

"Scoots! I know you're up there! We need to talk; NOW!"

There was silence at first but after perking up her ears she could hear the faint sound of crying and cursing. Rainbow cursed under her breath but she knew she couldn't back down. Scootaloo needed to confront this and Rainbow was going to help her do it whether she wanted her to or not! Steeling her resolve she marched up the ladder and got ready to go into the clubhouse but was stopped by a few of the animals whom Scootaloo had taken to try and train to be her pets. They looked at her almost pleadingly not to go in. She didn't have the same ability to communicate with them as Fluttershy or Sunset did and so she pushed past them and said.

"You all go back to Shy; I need to handle this."

The animals did nothing to stop her knowing they couldn't. Rainbow had as much authority around here as Fluttershy did and it was a known fact that when Rainbow or Fluttershy gave an order? It was to be followed. They moved out of her way and she pushed forward into the treehouse. The walls were covered in Daring Do, Wonderbolt & Countess Coloratura posters showing the varying interests of the different members of the CMC; there were tons of lists, drawings, games and the like scattered about the room.

In the far corner of this room lay Scootaloo, curled up and crying in a beanbag chair seemingly holding something and her headphones upon her head, the ones that looked that pony ears that Sweetie Belle got her for her 16th birthday if she recalled. Rainbow felt her heart sink as she walked up behind Scootaloo and heard her crying and cursing.

"I-It's not fucking fair! That no fucking good, spoiled, pampered fucking little-!" Scootaloo ranted and raved, holding close to her chest a picture of herself and Sweetie Belle. It was only of her and Sweetie; it was taken a year before they had met Apple Bloom. Sweetie Belle was her first real friend and Diamond Tiara her first true enemy. So why then? Why would Sweetie just up and throw all that away to smack lips with some spoiled tramp?!

"Scoots..." Rainbow said trying to inch her hand closer to put on Scootaloo's shoulder but her hand was slapped away.

"GO THE FUCK AWAY! LEAVE ME ALONE RAINBOW!" Scootaloo screamed and buried her face in the beanbag chair to hide her shameful crying face from her big sister and idol. She wouldn't bare to be seen so lame and shameful by the one person she respected the most in the world.

Rainbow kept her voice even and her face straight. "No can do kiddo. We need to talk and I'm not leaving till we do."

Scootaloo growled curled herself up harder if it was possible. "FUCK YOU! I DON'T HAVE TO TALK TO YOU! I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT! JUST GO AWAY!"

She and Scootaloo regularly cursed at each other. She didn't really care all that much because words were just words and she was taking into account that Scootaloo was in emotional distress at the moment as well. With a sigh she sat down with her legs crossed next to the crying teenager. "Not giving you a choice here squirt. You made Twi cry and I can't have that and neither can Sunset. I get you're pissed off and trust me; you have every reason to be angry. But this shit has to stop; this grudge of yours against Diamond isn't healthy"

Clutching her chest and heaving in anguish she kept turned away from Rainbow. "OH JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT! YOU OR TWILIGHT OR SUNSET OR FLUTTERSHY OR ANY OF YOUR FUCKING PERFECT FRIENDS GET IT! I WAS SWEETIE'S BEST FRIEND! I WAS HER # 1! I WAS THE ONE WHO PROTECTED HER FROM DIAMOND AND SILVER WITH THEIR CONSTANT BULLYING AND CULTURE SHAMING! I'M THE ONE WHO TOOK THE BRUNT FOR THAT STUPID VIEWTUBE MUSIC VIDEO WE DID SO KIDS WOULDN'T SHAME HER OUT OF SPITE! ME! I'VE DONE SO MUCH FOR HER AND WHAT DOES SHE DO TO THANK ME HUH?!"

Scootaloo slammed her fists down and sat up whirling around to look at Rainbow Dash, her face covered in tears, her eyes bloodshot, her entire appearance was just miserable. Rainbow winced and cringed at the sight, she could never recall seeing Scootaloo this upset reaffirming to Rainbow that this issue needed to be solved right here and right now.

"SHE THROWS IT ALL AWAY! SHE JUST...JUST...FORGETS IT ALL! FORGETS ALL THE PAIN AND TORMENT THAT LITTLE BITCH PUT US ALL THROUGH! ALL THE RACIST SLURS! CALLING US WORTHLESS AND TALENTLESS AND A TRIO OF USELESS LESBIANS! BUT WHAT THE FUCK WOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT IT HUH?! YOU GOT THE GIRL YOU WANTED AND THE BEST FRIENDS THE UNIVERSE COULD GIVE ANYONE! SAME WITH TWILIGHT! SO WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I LISTEN TO YO-"

*SLAP*

It wouldn't be the first time Rainbow would have had to hit Scootaloo. She's had to strike some sense into the kid before but it was usually just a smack upside the head or denying her the approval of her idol that she adored so very much. This time she cut all the formalities and straight up cocked her hand back and open palm slapped Scootaloo in the face and the entire treehouse went silent. Before Scootaloo could utter a single word though? A cyan finger was raised in the air and Rainbow demeanor was entirely serious.

"First? Don't you EVER claim that I of all people don't know what it's like to have bullies make your life a living Hell. Need I remind you all throughout High School everyone ragged on me for being a walking gay stereotype? And guess the fuck what kiddo? It was WAY worse for me in Middle School than you will ever have it in your lifetime. Trust that."

Rainbow kept her voice even only raising her voice to emphasis a point to Scootaloo. Raising another finger she kept a dead serious look on her face to ensure Scootaloo knew she wasn't playing around.

"Second? I know full well all the shit she put you through. You came running and crying to me about it all the time after you met me during my sophomore year. You should also remember at the time? Both Fluttershy and I were dealing with the reign of Sunset Shimmer in her queen bitch days and you should remember quite vividly how much of a nightmare that was for Shy. RIGHT!?"

Rainbow took that point in time very seriously. She had long since forgiven Sunset but she would never forget how far she pushed Fluttershy. How badly she almost broke her friend. She commended Fluttershy greatly on her inner strength for not breaking because if she had? Rainbow would currently be in jail for the murder of Sunset Shimmer. Raising a third finger she continued to speak.

"Third? If you weren't such a fucking chicken you'd already have Sweetie wrapped around your finger. But because you're too stuck hating Diamond and chasing my coattails you missed your chance to get what you wanted and now look at where you are. Lost in the closet crying all alone wishing you could have something you had every chance to take."

Hearing Rainbow call her that word. She hated being called that word. Rainbow KNEW she hated being called that word. Calling a daredevil a chicken was an incredibly offensive thing and Scootaloo responded the only way she could fathom how to at this point. Lunging at Rainbow Dash she threw her smaller body at her and swung her fist but Rainbow was of course faster, grabbed her arm, twisted it behind her back picked her up and then pinned her to the beanbag chair and sat on the small of her back in one swift motion.

"Too slow kid" Rainbow said calmly keeping her weight on Scootaloo enough to where she couldn't break free.

"Aaaargh! Fuck you Rainbow! Let me go!" Scootaloo trashed and struggled trying to get free but Rainbow was bigger and stronger than her. Her tears sprung anew as she screamed and lashed and thrashed to try and get free but to no avail.

"Not until you calm the Hell down. Cause like it or not? You're gonna apologize to Twilight. She didn't do anything wrong and you just up and made her cry because you wanted to be a bitch and let your emotions step out of line. I won't have anyone upset my friends; not even you"

"Spirit of loyalty my ass!" Scootaloo retorted.

"This is a great display of loyalty. If I didn't care I would have just said fuck it and let your friendship with Bloom and Sweetie go to shit and let sleeping dogs lie. But I wouldn't be a very loyal friend if I did that now would I?" Rainbow said keeping her pinned. She had done close to nothing when Sunset was bullying her other friends back in those days and she wouldn't let history repeat itself; for the longest she held a grudge against Sunset for what she did and almost made some of them do. Namely Fluttershy. She didn't want that kind of darkness to befall the CMC if she could help it.

'I hope Sunset and Twilight are alright. This may take awhile. Also hope Shy managed to reach Rarity. Something tells me an intervention is in order.' Rainbow thought as her pseudo sister thrashed about trying to get out from under her.

Fluttershy's Living Room

'I really hope Twilight and Scootaloo will be okay. I can tell they are both hurting pretty bad.' Fluttershy thought as she walked through her home into the kitchen after having settled Twilight and Sunset down in the living room so the two could relax and Sunset could comfort Twilight in her time of need.

Fluttershy as the element of kindness knew the in's and out's of her friends most sensitive and softest feelings that people would often keep hidden. Whenever one of them was upset and needed a kind shoulder to cry on, a kind ear to listen, a kind heart to confined in; Fluttershy was always there. When Rainbow Dash got made fun of for her appearance by bullies in High School calling her things like 'Pride Parade' and Rainblow Trash after some mean girls spread nasty rumors about Rainbow giving blowjobs to boys around school to prove she wasn't gay; Fluttershy was there for her.

When Applejack would get down about people making fun of her for her Southern roots and country way of life? Fluttershy was there to bright up her spirits and remind her that farm work wasn't a waste of time. That she was doing good helping provide the town with a lot of its fruits and vegetables and even taking in stray animals the shelter could no longer house.

Back when Sunset was still going through her redemption phase back during the early days of their friendship when Sunset was still very distant and rather cold? Fluttershy was the first one to really give her a chance, the first one to truly extend her hand to the one who had tormented her so. Sunset was by far the worst bully Fluttershy had ever had to deal with in her life and Sunset knew that. Sunset made it a point to prod and push Fluttershy every single day. From taking her lunch money to public humiliation with no way to tie Sunset to the crime; Fluttershy endured it all up until the time Sunset had gotten her comeuppance.

Thinking back to those days she remembered how Sunset's entire demeanor changed after that night. She had become more reserved, quiet,no where near as snarky and of course she had stopped bullying Fluttershy. In fact there was a time when Sunset had stopped coming to school all together which had caused her and the other girls to worry about her but at the time they were all still a bit wary on how to handle the situation with Sunset as a whole however Fluttershy knew or at least had an idea on what needed to be done and the first step to that true redemption that Sunset had sought? Was forgiveness.

Not only did Sunset need to find it in her to forgive herself but the girls whom she had wronged the most needed to find it in their hearts to forgive Sunset for the Hell she put them all through and while it didn't happen right away? In time slowly but surely Sunset Shimmer found the forgiveness she'd sought and the first step to that was hearing a few simple words and Fluttershy was the first one to speak them to her to which she can remember he reaction to quite vividly.

Having entered the kitchen and gathered the right ingredients to make the kind of tea she knew would calm Twilight down she began to think about her friendship with the nerdy girl. Among the girls in the group she and Twilight and Rarity were of course the most sensitive and feminine which each of them knew and were not ashamed of. Fluttershy knew she could be meek, a wallflower and a bit of a crybaby but her friends didn't think less of her for these things; in fact they loved her just for who she was and never tried to force her to change.

Rarity was a drama and gossip queen on top of being very posh to the point of being ridiculous. She held herself in very high regard and to high standards to the point where she could and often did get easily triggered at little things however this had begun to become less of the case since she started dating Applejack just as Fluttershy had started to become a little less shy since dating Rainbow Dash. Rarity would always be a posh drama queen and they never hoped for that to change but she did learn to not spread gossip as much or make assumptions about people which was good growth for the fashionista.

Twilight was a very special case however. Much like Fluttershy she was an introvert and a wallflower however it was a little worse for her because she was also a genius the likes of which made it hard for her to easily relate to those her own age. She had always had trouble making friend and the one she did make back when she was very young? Ended up moving away when she was little but thankfully moved back to attend CPA during her senior year of High School.

'I wonder how Flash and Moon Dancer are doing?' Fluttershy thought as she began preparing the tea in the kettle on the stove. She had varying types of tea in her home as whenever she had company she would offer them tea first instead of soda or juice. Twilight's favorite was jasmine mint with two sugars and a single lemon, a savory and soothing tea that often helped her think and relax. Sunset also like this kind of tea for much the same reason though it wasn't her favorite as Sunset had stated her favorite tea could only be found in Equestria.

'I hope Rarity isn't too busy. Last I heard she really had her hands full with her sister now living with her.' Fluttershy thought to herself as she turned on the stove allowing the water in the kettle to heat up. A lot had changed for the seven of them over the past year and for Rarity one of those things was that her little sister Sweetie Belle had moved in with her at the request of her parents whom had decided to retire and travel after their father hit the lottery. With money from both her Equerstrian self and her parents she was quite set to take care of herself, her growing business and her little sister but that didn't mean it was any less stressful for her.

'Dealing with a younger sibling is a challenge in of itself though Sweetie Belle is a lot easier to deal with than Zephyr Breeze' Fluttershy thought as she rolled her eyes with a small sigh thinking of her little brother. She didn't like think of her only brother as a pain in her butt but he was such a tool! He was a lazy hipster who constantly tried to hit on Rainbow even after they had come out as a couple he had tried to flirt with her that is until Fluttershy set him straight like a big sister should.

With another sigh she shook her head and freed her mind from distractions as she pulled out her cell phone and scrolled through to find Rarity's name. Pressing the call button she held the phone up to her ear and hoped Rarity would answer with the quickness she often did whenever Fluttershy would call her. Luckily she was correct and after the 2nd ring Rarity picked up.

"Hello Fluttershy darling; to what do I owe the pleasure of the call?" Rarity replied in a cheery manner.

"Hi Rarity; I hope I'm not bothering you" Fluttershy replied in a happy manner of her own

"Oh pish posh darling never! I always have time to talk with my bestie. Whatever is the matter darling? You sound rather dejected...is everything alright?" Rarity could always tell by the way Fluttershy talked if something was amiss and her instincts were telling her something was in fact wrong.

"Oh well um yes but not with me exactly. It's Twilight and Scootaloo." Fluttershy said as she began to get ready to explain things to Rarity.

"Twilight and Scootaloo? Why whatever happened? Did one of her experiments go awry again?" Rarity asked curiously with a touch of concern.

"Oh no nothing like that but um it is still quite important. You see Twilight was coming to visit with Sunset to drop off Spike and Smolder for their check-up's and some playtime and well heh you know how Twilight, Sunset and Rainbow can be..." Fluttershy said with a slight giggle as she remembered how much fun they were all having before things turned sour.

Rarity giggled in return as she knew full well what Fluttershy meant. They of course were the MOST feminine among the rest of the more tomboyish girls in their group of friends and so Rarity was well aware of the girls tendency to roughhouse and prank one another. "Indeed."

"Right so Twilight had stayed on the front lawn while Sunset and Rainbow magic chased each other around town and Scootaloo is here too. She was picking out a pet to take home since her aunts finally said she could have one and also said it may help with her recent um 'behavior problems' " Fluttershy said cautiously.

"Oh dear I know! Why things between her and Sweetie Belle have been simply dreadful! I've tried to get Sweetie to open up about it but the poor dear gets into a huff whenever I so much as bring it up." Rarity said in a huffy tone herself seemingly pouting.

"I remember we talked about it a little the last time we went to the spa. I thought they would be able to work things out but it doesn't seem like they've really talked about it much. When Twilight made mention of her and Diamond dating Scootaloo blew up at Twilight and stormed off...Twilight well...didn't take it very well." Fluttershy said trying not to give away to much in case she felt Twilight didn't want her to tell.

"Oh my is she alright?" Rarity asked now absolutely concerned, she too knew of how emotionally fragile Twilight could be at times and would personally have words with Scootaloo herself if that's what it took!

"Sunset is in the living room comforting her now. I was just about to put on some tea and Rainbow is out back dealing with Scootaloo and from the sounds of it and the rattling of the treehouse? Rainbow is having to get a little rough with her." Fluttershy said wincing as she looked out the kitchen window to see the treehouse in the backyard shaking and thrashing.

With a tired sigh Rarity replied. "What are we going to do with these girls?"

"Is Sweetie home right now?" Fluttershy asked

"Actually yes. Last I checked she was in her bedroom practicing her singing; she's truly been coming into her own with her voice you know. Those lessons from Adagio and I really took to heart. Hehehe I even think I caught glimpse of her writing a song for Diamond." Rarity said with giddiness in her tone but then it shifted back to a more serious one as she knew this was no time for romanticizing.

"Regardless I do believe I know what must be done. Will Diamond be required to be present?" Rarity asked.

"Is she available?" Fluttershy replied.

"Hm well I will have to see. The poor dear has been going through quite the trying time as of late what with the divorce of her parents over the revelation that our families are distantly related but too far branched from one another to matter if my sister and Sweetie Belle date." Rarity scoffed and continued. "That and her family is rather stuck in a time where they think being homosexual is social blemish! Why I never!"

Rarity fumed as she recalled Diamond detailing the circumstances of her life at home which had become a lot harder since she'd decided to stop following her mother and father's way of thinking and acting after being humiliated and socially wrecked by a new mean girl to come to CHS after the Rainbooms had graduated named Cozy Glow. A seemingly nice and sweet as sugar little girl on the surface but in reality? She like if Diamond Tiara and Evil Sunset Shimmer did fusion and were raised by Lord Tierk.

After this event Diamond found herself with no friends. Not even Silver Spoon. Cozy had effectively knocked Diamond off her high horse and the only person who was willing to extend out her hand in generous kindness? Was Sweetie Belle. It was at this time that Diamond and Sweetie began to get closer and closer, eventually they had worked together to expose Cozy for the fraud and cruel child she was getting her expelled. It was after that time that Sweetie and Diamond started dating and Rarity could not have been prouder of her little sister.

Ever since then she had personally been helping young Diamond Tiara become a new young lady in her own right that would not fall to the same sins as her parents and those who came before her and the road to redemption was not an easy one as Diamond in her spoiled youth had done quite a bit of damage that would take time to heal but it was doable just as it was for Sunset. This made Sunset incredibly proud of Diamond as well which only added fuel to the fires of anger she felt at Scootaloo for bad mouthing her the way she had heard she did.

"Well hopefully you can find and bring her here. Please let me know as soon as you do" Fluttershy pleaded as she wanted this to all be resolved quickly.

"But of course darling. I shall go fetch Sweetie and we will go and see if we can locate Diamond Tiara post haste. Do go tend to Twilight dear. I'll call you back in a little while."

"Okay; thank you Rarity."

"Not a problem darling. Ta-ta." Rarity would hang up.

As she would hang up in return she hear the tea kettle boiling and shouting. Going over to the stove she turned it off and took the kettle off the stove with a pair of mittens shaped like kitten paws. Pouring a few mugs that held a few teabags each she filled them enough to make sure they didn't overflow adding in sugar and lemon briefly afterwards. Then a small thought came to mind and she smiled as she thought of a way she could cheer Twilight up.

"Angel. Could you be a dear and go grab me a couple of fresh red and green apples please? Two of each." Fluttershy said calling to her #1 assistant and pet Angel Bunny. The fluffy little white bunny would hop over and salute as he would bounce over to the fridge opening it skillfully and grabbing the apples she asked for and closing the fridge. With a kind smile she then said. "Feel free to grab a bag of mini carrots for yourself too"

Angel visibly smiled at his own hopping over to give her the apples and a small hug to her ankle which made her smile. He would then hop back over to the fridge and grab the treat she said he could have which was of course his favorite next to the yummy carrot cake she would make him on special occasions.

"Thank you Angel." Fluttershy said as she placed the apples on the counter after petting the little bunny. Once they were set on the counter next to a couple other ingredients she would place the mugs of tea on a tray and would walk into the living room to present them to Twilight and Sunset. Upon walking into the living room she smiled sweetly at what she saw and she let out a heart melting.

"Awwwww" Fluttershy said as she looked upon her two best friends in each others embrace with Twilight having calmed down considerably but not entirely. Though she looked very content cuddled up next to Sunset, her face buried in Sunset's bosom and arms wrapped around her midsection.

'They're so cute together.' Fluttershy thought as she felt the butterflies rumble in her stomach as she adored seeing a sight as cute as this especially when things seemed so bleak moments ago when Twilight came inside crying in Sunset's arms about what Scootaloo had said and it was her dearest hope that once Rarity arrived with Sweetie and hopefully Diamond? That Scootaloo would be willing to do the one thing it took to move forward.

Canterlot Carousel/Rarity's Apartment

Moments after hanging up the phone with Fluttershy and hearing of the dire situation they found themselves in Rarity knew it was time to truly act. She could no longer stand idle by and allow this tragedy to befall her sisters precious friendship. Oh sure Sweetie Belle tried to hide how much she was hurting behind that infectiously sweet smile that everyone loved as much as Pinkie Pie's however? Rarity was no fool. She could tell this type of drama was certainly of the unfavorable type for her little sister and she was trying hard to put on a brave face like always.

'She's grown up so fast. It's almost like it was yesterday when she was a short little cutie with a squeaky little voice but now? She's looking more and more like her every time she has a growth spurt now.' A slight blush came to her pure white cheeks as she thought about how much her sister had grown both in maturity and in her body gaining more resemblance to their great, great, great, grandmother Diamond Dazzle whom for her day was viewed to be a very voluptuous and well stacked young woman which aided her greatly in becoming a singer when she was very young.

Sweetie Belle of course as anyone who knew her would know? LOVED to sing. She was a natural and ever since she had discovered that she was related to Adagio whom to her was like a musical popstar and idol on the levels of how Scootaloo viewed Rainbow Dash? She had begun singing more and more, writing her own songs, delving into new realms of music range from R&B to country since she was friends with Apple Bloom and she quite liked country ballads.

As she got up from her work chair she removed her red glasses that she had framed on her face whenever she was working on a design. When Fluttershy had called her she was drawing up designs for the outfits they would wear during the summer sun celebration in a couple of weeks and was just finishing up the touches on the pattern for Rainbow's outfit. Her hyperactive friend had detailed that she wanted her outfit to 'look awesome but not so awesome that there's too much going on' Rarity found this to be a challenge and was doing her best to find the perfect balance that Rainbow requested.

With a small sigh she then took a sip of some tea she had prepared herself. White jasmine tea always helped her relax and never failed to sooth her nerves and spark her fires of inspiration. After taking a nice sip of her drink she stood up and straightened out her skirt and took a calming breath as she prepared herself to have to coax her sister into going with her to go see Scootaloo though she knew in this situation if she had to assert her sisterly and somewhat motherly authority over her sister? She would without hesitation. She was responsible for Sweetie while her parents were gone on their retirement and she would not let them down.

Exiting her bedroom she walked down the hall until she reached her little sisters door which had a plaque on its face that Apple Bloom and Scootaloo worked on together to give Sweetie Belle in their shop class at school. It was a wooden plaque that was painted Sweetie's hair colors and had a little shield emblem with a musical note inside a star. Seeing this always brought a smile to her face and in this instance it lit a fire in her generous heart to want to help her sister. Raising her hand she knocked on the door firmly but gently as to not startle her sister if she was in the middle of practice still.

"Sweetie Belle, darling we need to talk." Rarity used her more seriously sister tone that Sweetie Belle knew quite well but she used it in the sense that she was concerned and worried not that Sweetie was in trouble. She would wait a few moments and heard nothing and knocked again knowing her sister was still there in the room.

"Sweetie? Are you o-" Rarity pressed closer to the door but before she could continue Sweetie replied.

"Leave me alone Rarity." Sweetie's voice was devoid of happiness or really any feeling at all. She didn't want to see her sister or anyone else. She just lay on her bed staring at her phone which was on the floor and the message she'd gotten which broke her heart the more she looked at words sent by her now ex-girlfriend.

'It's over. I'm sorry. Thank you for everything but I have to go away. I'll always be your friend.'

Rarity knew that tone. It was the tone of an aching heart, the tone of someone whom while they insisted on being alone? Likely desperately did not want to be. Rarity felt this same kind of turmoil and depression during those dark days when Sunset Shimmer had been the school's Queen B and she knew that Sweetie Belle needed her right now and if she was like this? It likely means she wasn't able to get a hold of Adagio or Apple Bloom.

With a weary sigh Rarity attempted to open the door but it was locked. She hadn't had the same rule her parents had about locking the doors, a lady had a right to her privacy dad! Either way it was still frustrating but luckily for Rarity? She had a sort of skeleton key or in this case? Diamond key. Using her magic geode she formed a key out of her crystal magic and opened the lock and opened the door and what she saw when she walked in made her heart sink.

"Oh Sweetie" Rarity said with a frown as she saw the state of distress her sister was in and all she wanted to do was give the girl a hug and tell her it would all be alright.

"G-Go away. Leave me alone" Sweetie said as she cried and wept on her bed to hide her mascara streaked face and crying eyes from her big sister. A lady should never show her shame right?

"And leave you here like this? I think not. What kind of sister would I be if I did that? Sweetie what's the mat-" Looking to see the girls cell phone on the floor her eyes went wide when she saw the message Diamond Tiara had sent. Part of her wanted to be infuriated but the other part of her wanted to see if there was something else afoot here and so she kept her rage at bay as best she could for the time being and hoped what she assumed was not the case.

"P-Please just go...I-I don't wa-nna t-alk a-a-bou-" She stuttered and sniffled and gasped for breath as she cried and tried to speak at the same time. She knew her sister wasn't going to leave. Why would she? She was too kind and generous to let her sister suffer alone so of course she'd stay and comfort her; not like she has anyone else to do it anymore right?

Rarity would sit down on the side of the bed and would hug her little sister close to her and run a white hand through her now longer purple and pink hair. Sweetie would stop resisting and would freely cry into Rarity's chest, her shoulders jumping, voice hitching, eyes producing so many tears Rarity was going to need to change her shirt but she didn't mind.

"Shhhhh hush now, quiet now; calm thy little heart. When you hear my singing voice in your ear is when the better times will start. Have no fear, do not fret, put your heart at ease. Wipe away your tears and smile bright, pretty, pretty please." Rarity would sing this little song for Sweetie whenever she was upset, sad, depressed or just having a bad day. She had done this for her since she was a baby had professed she would do so for as long as she drew breath. It usually always managed to get Sweetie to calm down, a good song always did that for her even when she was a baby all that was needed to put her to sleep were a few good notes from her mother or Rarity.

Sniffling and taking a few calming breaths she still didn't feel the best but she did feel a little better now. "T-Thank you Rarity."

"Not a problem at all darling. It's what sisters are for. Now; care to tell me what's troubling you? I can tell it's that rather heartbreaking message but I feel there is something I am missing." Rarity asked her sister hoping to get the details on what was going on from her.

Sighing Sweetie Belle put a little distance between her and Rarity and began to speak. "Just to let you know s-she didn't break up with me because she doesn't like me anymore or was playing with my feelings its...it's her dad and...and..." Sweetie bit her lip trying to keep down the more vulgar side of her very, VERY colorful vocabulary. She didn't want to upset her sister but she had so many choice words for the people who did this just to spite her and Diamond!

Rarity examined her sister's face and could tell besides these tears and her expression signaled that something was at play that she wished not to speak vulgarly about and normally while Rarity would commend her for this? Now wasn't the time for being polite for the sake of upholding a social norm.

"Speak your mind darling we can worry about your choice of words another time." Rarity reassured her. She had gotten used to her friends and their use of vulgar language and while she didn't always like it? She knew at times it was needed to help vent one's frustrations.

Hearing she had confirmation from Rarity she let it all out. " IT WAS THAT NO GOOD SLIMEY BACKSTABBING SLEAZY APATHIC SOCIOPATHIC PHSYCO CUNT COZY GLOW AND HER POMPOUS LOUSY LOW DOWN CORRUPT OUT THE ASS FATHER! HE BOUGHT OUT DIAMOND'S DAD'S COMPANY LIKE THE FUCKING CONGOLMRATE BUSINESS SNAKE HE IS AND IS NOW FORCING DIAMOND AND HER DAD TO MOVE AWAY TO MANEHATTEN! ALL BECAUSE SHE'S FUCKING JEALOUS AND ANGRY AND HATES FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE AND HAPPINESS AND-!"

Rarity put a single white finger to her sisters lips to silent her little tirade and took a deep calming breath and exhaled. This made this more complicated indeed. "Alright I think I get the idea. To say that is underhanded and unacceptable is a great understatement and I am sorry to hear this has transpired Sweetie but know that I will do everything in my power to make this right if I can. No one messes with my sister's heart and get's away with it" Rarity said with absolute seriousness in her tone as she thought out ways to aid her sister in her mind and when it came to matters of love she knew exactly who to turn to but that would come later once she'd helped her sister repair the damage to her friendship. Speaking of which?

"On that note however if I am to aid you with this I need you to promise me ONE thing ok?" Rarity asked as she removed her finger.

"Anything; name it" Sweetie nodded in agreement.

"You have to patch things up with Scootaloo." Rarity said plainly.

"Okay" Sweetie said rather nonchalantly

"And don't you give me any lip about- Wait I'm sorry did you just say okay?" Rarity was able to turn on her big sister mode more but then she heard Sweetie simply relent.

Sweetie rolled her eyes and scoffed a little poking out her lip in a semi-pouty manner "Well duh; I don't want to keep fighting with Scoots every time we see each other. I want us to be best friends again like it used to be but she just won't accept the fact that Diamond has changed and she won't admit that she didn't deserve all the things Cozy put her through...some of it yeah...but not all the horrible things she did that almost made Diamond want to-" Sweetie was about to continue but Rarity stopped her again with a finger to the lips.

"I know Sweetie and I am glad you were there to be here light in the darkness when she needed a friend willing to forgive even though you had no obligation to. I am so proud of you for maturing in to such a fine young lady. Diamond, Apple Bloom and especially Scootaloo are very lucky." Rarity said smiling and hugging her sister again.

Sweetie returned the hug. "I had a shining example of what to be. seven to be exact. So I should be thanking you."

Rarity smiled and kissed Sweetie on the forehead. "You can thank me by making up with your friend and fighting tooth and nail for your girlfriend!" Rarity said in a posh teasing tone of voice still giddy that Diamond Tiara; her former bully was her girlfriend. It was just too cute NOT to poke fun of.

"Filthy Rich won't so I will whether he likes it or not; he's just mad I turned his daughter gay. I mean can you blame her?" Sweetie said doing a cute little pose on her bed which earned her a playful shove from her big sister. Her normal sweet demeanor finally returning as her smile came back.

"Hehehe oh goodness what am I going to do with you?" Rarity laughed as she got up off her sisters bed and headed towards the door. "Anyway grab your shoes and wash your face while I go change my shirt; we need to go over to Fluttershy's. Scootaloo is there and something has come up involving her, Twilight and Sunset. We best make haste if we wish to resolve this conflict." Rarity said as she left the room to go and grab her car keys.

"Well if anyone can talk some sense into Scoots thick head its me. I'll be ready in a bit" Sweetie said as she got off her bed and searched around for her shoes and her hairband that held her hair up. Finding it she smiled at it as it had her name on it in barely readable text. It was a gift from Scootaloo when they were little and Scoots was still in special education classes with the other 'special' kids like Dinky Doo, Button Mash & Twist.

All students whom which Diamond Tiara had cruelly and viciously mocked and humiliated. Sure Sunset Shimmer was a living Hell for the High School students but for the most part she left the middle schoolers alone however even though Snip's and Snails were her main henchmen? Diamond was like a pseudo henchmen in that she was basically Sunset's will put into a child and Diamond enforced that will with great pleasure.

Even after Sunset redeemed herself and Principal's Celestia and Luna became more vigilant she continued her reign because her father funded many of the schools extra programs and trips and she could have the plugs pulled on any of them any time. She was riding high and loving it until tail end of that year when Cozy Glow transferred in and Diamond experienced a fall from grace far worse than Sunset Shimmer did.

Cozy Glow in just three months managed to systematically bring down everything Diamond Tiara had built off the heels of the fall of Sunset Shimmer as Queen B. She ruined her reputation. Got her kicked off the school paper, got her IP banned on social media, her grades began to take a dive after 'evidence' was found she had been running an illegal homework ring with the smartest students who attended still doing all her work for her and giving her test answers.

Cozy single handedly managed to ruin Diamond Tiara in such a way that even Silver Spoon; Diamond's closest and thought to be most loyal friend turned her back on her after Cozy revealed to her that Diamond purposely slut shamed a girl that Silver Spoon had a crush on just so the girl wouldn't take Silver's attention away from her. Diamond Dazzle Tiara had no one. Nothing. In their more private moments Diamond had confined in her that she considered killing herself because she felt back then no one would miss her or cry if she died an untimely death.

Sweetie remembered looking her dead in the eyes and saying 'I would cry every single day you were gone if you did that.'

She smiled as she remembered the blush on Diamond's face when she said that. She hadn't noticed before then but she was really cute when she blushed and it was at that moment the deeper feelings began forming and replacing years of built up hatred and bile the two had accumulated for one another. She didn't want to keep hating her and she could tell Diamond was done trying to hate Sweetie Belle for simply being different and never bending the knee to her even when she treated her like trash.

As she got on her shoes and put on her hairband she left her room after turning out the lights and also grabbing her phone off the floor. After that she took a quick trip to the bathroom to wash up her face and but made sure to not apply any make-up as she had a feeling the waterworks may stay up again when she saw Scoots or worse case scenario she got into a fight with her.

'Scoots always did have a temper but she really does mean well' Sweetie thought as she dried off her wet face with a towel that she prompt tossed in the hamper next to the shower.

She had a feeling seeing Scootaloo was going to be a little rough but that was nothing new she had gotten into plenty of tussles and fights with both her and Apple Bloom before. While she may have been the most girly of the three of them? She was nothing like her sister in the sense that she was fully willing to dirty herself and fight if pushed far enough whereas Rarity tried to avoid violence at all costs.

With a small sigh she looked at her phone and the background image it held on her lock screen. It was the picture of herself, Scootaloo and Apple Bloom huddled together in their treehouse smiling and throwing up peace signs and such for the camera. It was taken the night they formed the CMC and Sweetie kept this picture as her lock screen to always remind her of those good times and where it all started. Lately Scootaloo had been so wrapped up in her own hatred that she'd forgotten that and it was up to her to remind her whether she wanted to hear it or not.

"Hang tight you big featherbrain." Sweetie said as she went to go join her sister downstairs. Once they were both downstairs they left the house and went to Rarity's car. Getting inside together they wasted no time as Rarity started up the car and began driving. Rarity then looked to Sweetie and asked.

"Do you currently know where Diamond is darling?"

"It's Friday so she's probably at the mall working at her dad's store. She was probably on her break when she sent that text but that was a little while ago and she doesn't get off for another couple of hours at least." Sweetie said trying not to think too much about it and get her emotions raised again.

"Hm I see; then it would appear you will need to face Scootaloo alone then darling. But if you need me to be there for support I will gladly-"

"No; It's fine. This is MY friendship. I have to deal with Scoots because I'm the only the one she will really open up to even if I have to break her open first. She's really stubborn just like Rainbow." Sweetie giggled a bit and shook her head at how tomboyish and hard headed Scootaloo was.

"True but it is that stubbornness that makes their loyalty so worth while." Rarity said with an endearing smile. "Be a dear and text Fluttershy that we are en route and shall arrival shortly."

"Alright" Sweetie said as she pulled up Fluttershy's name in her phone and sent her a text message. She knew Scootaloo well enough and if her hunch was correct? She was probably hiding out in the treehouse or the backyard. That's where they always went whenever things got tough.

Fluttershy's Living Room: 20 Minutes Later

Twilight's Inner World

Twilight didn't like that she could be such a crybaby sometimes. Even after she started making friends, being less of an introvert, being more outgoing, dating Sunset, having sex regularly, graduating at the top of her class, experiencing actual magic! You'd think after all that Twilight would have developed thicker skin right? Well everyone was different and developed differently; Twilight was much the same way.

But none of her friends would ever judge her for this. They all had their insecurities about them even the great and proud Rainbow Dash and the super upbeat Pinkie Pie had things that made them fell small and insecure about themselves or hurt their feelings. Rainbow HATED when people would call her any kind of name or slur that made fun of her choice to be bisexual or anyone's sexual orientation in a malicious way and she could understand why after hearing all the horrible rumors that spread about her back in High School when she transferred.

For Pinkie Pie it was that she didn't like it when she couldn't get someone to smile or have a good day. She would take it personally if she went out of her way to make someone happy or smile or laugh and she'd fail. She would think she wasn't good at making that person happy or that person was just so deep in sadness that not even all her super hyperactive 4th wall breaking antics and energy could help them and that put the kind of frown on her face that NO ONE liked to see. Pinkie's smile was one of the many joys and treasures the group held dear and would protect it at all costs.

However when it came to the most sensitive girls in the group of friends she was apart of the chart was easy to figure out when it came to who was the most sensitive: Fluttershy, Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Sunset Shimmer. Sunset of course being the most strong willed out of any of them not because she was their leader or because she was older than any of them. No. It was because Sunset knew true suffering and pain, she knew heartbreak and loneliness, despair, a lack of worth and purpose. She had faced all these things and come out stronger and stronger each and every time and so naturally she had the thickest skin out of any of the Rainbooms.

'I'd be nothing without her. Hell this WORLD would be nothing without her because of me' Twilight thought within the confines of her inner mind space that she often treated into whenever she was in a state of emotional distress.

'Aww don't do that Twily you're being to hard on yourself! That little brat had no idea to yell at us like that!' Midnight huffed as she sat with Twilight in their ethereal mind space on a purple couch.

'But...'

'No but's! She had no right! I get it that she's going through whatever it is with Diamond Tiara and Sweetie but that has nothing to do with us! We were just trying to help! But little miss daredevil just had to get her first period at the worst possible time!'

This was a normal thing for her to do now. Well as 'normal' as arguing like a crazy person in your head with a magical ethereal being that looks exactly like you but sexier could be anyway. She and Midnight had built up quite the repour as it were with Twilight being the more straight woman and Midnight being the more bombastic one who was prone to outbursts but it was comical and even relaxing to a degree.

'I'm pretty sure that isn't completely the reason she snapped. I mean she's only 16 emotional outbursts like that are fairly common and she has been going through a lot and-'

'See? there you go making excuses for people treating you unkindly again! You can't keep doing that Twi; it'll cause people to step all over you or worse.' Midnight frowned as she was clearly referring to herself and the incident that brought her to life in the first place. Not that she didn't like existing however that didn't mean her existence as a part of Twilight was easy at all.

She had long since moved past the point of viewing Midnight Sparkle as something to be rid of or controlled. While she was apart of her she had her own essence and personality in a way even though it was near identical to that of Twilight herself it's just that Midnight was far less reserved than Twilight was. Ever since she and Sunset had gotten together she'd been in much deeper synchronization with the spirit inside her and they'd formed what one would certainly call a friendship of sorts. Twilight never fancied herself having an imaginary friend since she was a little girl but she of course didn't mind having one now.

Plus it was very difficult to argue Midnight's line of logic. Scootaloo had stepped out of line and hurt her feelings simply because she was hurting herself. Twilight could understand if she'd said something truly offensive or mean to Scootaloo but she hadn't and what did she get in return? Obscenities' shouted at her by a emotionally ravaged teenage daredevil.

She wasn't and couldn't stay mad at Scootaloo however for the time being? She wished not to see her. She was perfectly content with Sunset cuddling her and whispering sweet nothings in her ear while stroking her hand through her hair as they sat and sipped tea together in silence on the couch in the real world while inside her mind she sat comfortably with her inner self reflecting on events passed.

'Scootaloo is lucky Sunset didn't march back there and give her a piece of her mind cause girl she looked PISSED' Midnight giggled as she nudged Twilight playfully making the more nerdy Sparkle blush.

'Hehe yeah well what do you expect? Someone made her girlfriend cry. Remember how she snapped on me when I almost got the other girls killed at the friendship games? I can only imagine.' Twilight never liked seeing Sunset angry or upset because that side of her was truly something scary when it was in full blooming effect. She'd only experienced it once and that was at the friendship games which all things considered was rather tame.

'Heh vaguely. I didn't come into existence till AFTER that remember? Up until that point I was nothing more than just your ambition, drive and lust for knowledge.' Midnight said with a smirk as she sat there nonchalantly as time passed in the purple and pink ethereal world which had the look of preputial twilight and sunset depending on her mood and state of mind.

'Heh right, I tend to forget your kind of like an imaginary friend that I can basically just summon at will...well kinda anyway' Twilight said with a brief chuckle as she recounter their attempt to split once before which didn't give the best results. As it turned out she and midnight were like a sort of symbiotic relationship where Midnight couldn't exist without Twilight and vise versa. They completed each other in that Midnight was all of Twilight's deepest and strongest emotions given form and thought while Twilight herself was the mind body and soul that held it all together.

'Heh you still mad you can't just summon me up and haul me off to some foster home or something?' Midnight gave a snarky and snide smirk at Twilight who of course pouted at this line.

'Oh ha, ha very funny. I was a decent thought!' Twilight protested as she did in fact have the idea to try and split Midnight from herself at one point and have her just live a life elsewhere and pursue her own interests but she learned the hard way that wasn't going to work out.

Midnight giggled at this and hugged Twilight into her much large bosom and grinned. 'D'awwww I wuv you too Twily'

Twilight flailed in the imaginary mental grip of the more busty version of herself which in the real world translated out to her wiggled in Sunset grip and giggling a little which obviously was making Sunset Shimmer happy as Fluttershy brought them both fresh hot mugs of her favorite tea. Smiling at this as she opened her eyes in the material world she looked up at Sunset happily if not a little tiredly seemingly having cried herself to sleep a little as Sunset comforted her.

'She really is the best thing ever.' Midnight and Twilight thought in unison as their inner world lit up entirely with the colors of the sunset and twilight blended perfectly together to create an aurora of colors that put Twilight's mind at ease.

Fluttershy's Living Room

'Hehe there's that sweet little smile I was looking for. And here comes to tea. Right on cue.' Sunset thought as she smiled down at Twilight from her current position. She was happy to see the girl had calmed herself down after having just previously cried herself to sleep over what just happened with Scootaloo.

"Here you go girls; hot fresh Jasmine Mint tea. I'm going to go back into the kitchen and make some caramelized sautéed cinnamon apples; would you like some?" Fluttershy asked kindly smiling at her two friends as she gave them each their mug of tea. Fluttershy always liked to provide her guests with something that helped them feel comfortable and a nice sweet treat always helped lift her spirits whenever she would have a crying fit like that.

Twilight, now finally awake; looked up at Fluttershy and nodded as she took the cup from her and taking a small sip so she could clear up her scratchy throat. "Yes please."

"Totally; I love it when you make those. Thanks Shy." Sunset smiled happily at her meek friend. She loved it whenever Fluttershy or the other girls would put their skills to the test in the kitchen as each of them had something they were particularly good at making.

For Fluttershy it was tea and anything involving veggies, Applejack was just the best cook out of all of them period but her specialty of course was Southern style homecooked meals, Pinkie Pie was the master of sweets, Rarity made a killer lasagna, Rainbow Dash made some of the best chicken wings anyone had ever eaten, Sunset was amazing at making seafood and Twilight was trying her best to be a better chef in the kitchen. Though notably she could make really good pancakes now which Sunset was proud of.

"No problem girls; Sweetie Belle texted me for Rarity and said they should be here soon. I asked if they could maybe bring Diamond but well it seems things are a bit more complicated than we thought." Fluttershy stated with a weary sigh as she read over the text sent to her by Sweetie Belle giving her the details of what was going on and that they were on their way to her house now.

"Complicated how?" Sunset asked as she sipped her tea and looked at Fluttershy.

"She didn't say too much but apparently Diamond broke up with her."

"SHE DID FUCKING WHAT?!" Scootaloo screamed from the doorway having come in at the tail end of the sentence.

"oh dear..." Flutter-sigh.

It had taken some doing but Rainbow finally managed to get the rambunctious and furious daredevil to calm down enough to want to come inside and apologize to Twilight for hurting her feelings so badly before or at the very least try until something else could be worked out. However Scootaloo was too quick to enter the house and 'rip the bandage off and see how much it bleeds' that she went in right as the worst possible words she could hear at this point in time were spoken out loud. Sweetie Belle and Diamond Tiara broke up and Diamond was the one who broke it off. Not good.

"Dammit Scoots I said to wait for me to go in first! Argh" Rainbow groaned as she followed Scootaloo inside having finally gotten her to chill out and come inside so they could all talk for a minute but now things just got even more complicated.

"THAT'S IT! NO TALKING! NO WORDS! I AM GONNA GO FIND THAT SPOILED NO GOOD FUCKING CUNT STAIN AND IM GONNA WRING HER LITTLE WHITE-"

"Scootaloo?" Fluttershy spoke up loud enough for the emotionally raging teenager to hear her and when the girl turned to look at Fluttershy? The meek girls entire demeanor had an air of menace to it. Fluttershy bore her eyes into Scootaloo's and stared at her and simply said. "Time out. Now" Fluttershy pointed to the corner where a small chair sat that had a sign on it said 'Naughty Corner'

Scootaloo felt her mouth run dry and her anger subside at the sight of Fluttershy staring at her with that dead serious expression and looking around the room she could see she was getting a similar look from Rainbow and Sunset Shimmer. Especially Sunset Shimmer who looked like she was using all her will power to not curse Scootaloo out. Gulping she huffed and stomped over to the time out chair but not before being stopped by Rainbow Dash grabbing the back of her shirt.

"Oh no; first? You owe someone an apology." Rainbow said guiding her towards Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer and then outright pushing her in their direction to make her go apologize.

Scootaloo reluctantly advanced forward, a shameful scowl on her face as she looked down, stomping like an indigent and petulant teenager would whenever they were forced to apologize for something they did wrong. Stomping a few inches from Twilight and Sunset she spared a glance at Twilight and quickly said. "I'm sorry"

"It's o..."

"Like Hell it is" Sunset cut Twilight off glaring at Scootaloo. "You didn't even mean it. So either say it like you mean it or get the Hell out of my girlfriends face if you can't respect her enough to acknowledge when you fucked up and hurt her feelings." Sunset wasn't going to sugarcoat it or act like it wasn't that big of a deal.

She was able to feel how hurt Twilight was all throughout the time she held her crying form and even felt it before that when she was with Rainbow at Applejack's farm previously. Twilight was very hurt and offended by the things that Scootaloo said and Sunset would not have anyone disrespect her girlfriend or the foundation on which her friendship was built. Sunset was the Rainboom leader, their rock, the one who would always have the answers or a way to figure things out; she was Twilight's princess and as such? She would protect her right down to the smallest feeling.

Scootaloo scoffed and like any teenager who thought they were tough she rolled her eyes at Sunset. "What? You want me to get on my hands and knees and beg for forgiveness? Sorry but I'm not yo-"

SLAP

Sunset slapped Scootaloo right upside the head and made her stumble. Fluttershy and Rainbow said nothing and Twilight didn't either. They knew full well Scootaloo had crossed a line and Sunset didn't take anyone bad mouthing her about what she had to do in the past to gain the forgiveness of others which even included dropping to her hands and knees and begging to be forgiven. The first time had been by force after she'd been rainbow blasted into a crater and the second was during the whole situation involving Wallflower Blush and the memory stone.

"You'd better count how lucky you are to be Rainbow's pseudo sister and that I'm not the queen high bitch I used to be because otherwise? I would have slapped the ability to taste out of your damn mouth and if you EVER emotionally hurt Twilight again or shit talk my past? I don't give a fuck if I have to fight Rainbow to get to you; I will make you sorry. And you KNOW I will" Sunset kept her voice as even as she possibly could only raising it to emphasis a point to Scootaloo that she would not tolerate ANY disrespect from her.

Scootaloo looked at Sunset completely shocked that she would slap her like that and more shocked that Rainbow just let her do it. Had it been anyone else Rainbow would have stopped their hand before it had made it anywhere near her face but Rainbow Dash simply stood there making sure she didn't try and run off and Fluttershy did the same. She was at a loss for words, her attitude had seeped into her mind to be buried away for later and she simply turned away from Sunset and Twilight and dragged herself over to the timeout corner and sat herself down facing away from everyone completely humiliated and defeated.

Sunset sighed and looked apologetically at Rainbow and Fluttershy but before she could say anything Rainbow put up a hand and shook her head in understanding. She didn't hold it against her friend for what she had just done, Scootaloo deserved it and in a way? Needed it. Fluttershy of course didn't like the escalation to violence however even she knew there were certain lines you just don't cross and Scootaloo crossed that line just enough to make Sunset retaliate in such a manner and it took quite a lot to do that.

*Ding Dong*

The doorbell would sound and Fluttershy looked out the window to see that Rarity's car had just pulled up and that Rarity and Sweetie Belle were standing outside. Walking over to the door Fluttershy would open it and was greeted by a hug from both Rarity and Sweetie.

"Hi girls; I'm glad you could make it. You're just in time we uh kinda had to um..."

"I know darling, we showed up and saw what happened through the window. We figured it would be better to wait until tensions subsided a little bit though I suppose now is good a time as any." Rarity said as she released Fluttershy and came into the house and greeted Rainbow Dash with a hug as well and then smiled even more when Spike and Smolder came nipping ay her ankles happily.

"Hey Rare; just in time. Hi Sweetie." Sunset said as she sat up on the couch, still unwilling to let Twilight go intent on cuddling her the entire time if she could help it. Sweetie Belle and Rarity would both come over and give Twilight and Sunset a proper hug hello.

"Hi Twi. Hey I'm sorry about Scoots. Don't worry I'll set her straight." Sweetie Belle said with her normally sweet smile.

"Please do because if you don't? I sure as Hell will." Sunset said seriously as she was trying to calm her already still frazzled nerves.

"What did she say?" Sweetie asked calmly

"Well for starters she called your um..."

"For now ex-girlfriend. It's okay. Things are as I said through the text, more complicated than Diamond just breaking up with me..." Sweetie said evenly as she was trying to get all the information she needed to deal with Scootaloo.

"AND I'LL BREAK HER FUCKING FACE! OW! THE FUCK DASH!?" Scootaloo shouted from the corner only to have a rubber band shot in the back of her head by Rainbow Dash from across the room.

"Shut up and sit there till its your turn." Rainbow replied sternly.

"Well for starters she called Diamond Tiara a spoiled no good pampered cunt stain." Sunset said rattling off some of the choice words Scootaloo had to call Diamond Tiara.

Sweetie Belle felt a swell of anger at that but swallowed it down. She hated the 'C' word so much and only ever used it to describe really unsavory, unrepentant, irredeemable sacks of garbage like Cozy Glow. Diamond was NOTHING like that horrid piece of human filth and Sweetie would have to make it very clear to her friend this was the case. Taking a calming breath similar to how Twilight would whenever she needed to gather her thoughts Sweetie kept a straight face and a smile.

"Anything else?" Sweetie asked almost too sweetly.

"That's about it. Seems to me she's pretty pissed about you two dating and you deciding to give her another chance. I'm proud of you by the way. You did a good thing and don't let ANYONE tell you different or make you feel bad for doing the right thing and showing kindness and mercy to someone who needed it." Sunset wanted to make sure Sweetie knew she was on her side and was supportive of her choice to help Diamond Tiara be a better girl than who she used to be a year ago.

Sweetie smiled and hugged Sunset and Twilight. "Thanks. You keep being a good girlfriend to Twilight; I couldn't pick anyone better. Now if you'll excuse me" Sweetie Belle said still smiling as she turned her attention to her timeout locked down friend and huffed, puffing out her cheeks in a way Scootaloo knew well. Rarity giggled at this sight as she could tell her little sister was about to as Rainbow Dash put it? 'Get in that ass'

"SCOOTS YOU PETULANT FEATHERBRAINED CHICKEN YOU COME HERE RIGHT NOW!" Sweetie Belle demanded of her friend using her voice of authority that Adagio had taught her before she went away to Manehatten for vacation.

Sweetie Belle was one of the few people who could and would call Scootaloo a chicken without fear of her jumping up and attacking her outright because often times whenever it came to them as friends? That term was used as a term of endearment like how Applejack and Rainbow joke about calling each other otherwise offensive nicknames that they would beat the shit out of anyone else if they'd said them.

With that in mind however it didn't seem like Scootaloo was taking the bait and so Sweetie Belle went for the next best thing. She stomped over to Scootaloo and grabbed her by her ear and pulled her up from her seat; her ears were sensitive as she was diagnosed with sensory sensitivity as a young age which lead to this form of punishment being used against Scootaloo quite often. Dragging her across the room she ignored the daredevil's yelps and screams of protest.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow! Sweets lemme g-" Scootaloo whined.

"Don't you sweets me! How could you?" Sweetie said as she released Scootaloo's ear and crossed her arms over her petite chest and pouted. With her big sister and her friends watching she chastised her friend and didn't care how embarrassing it was for either of them to have to air their dirty laundry like this.

Scootaloo scoffed and glared at Sweetie. "Oh that's fucking rich! How could I?! How could you!?"

Sweetie kept an even expression and wouldn't let Scootaloo's snide comments get to her. "How could I what? Follow the example my sister and your idol set for us before they left High School? Be a generous and good person despite what Diamond has put me through? Hm. How could I indeed. Oh wait; I know! Because it was the right thing to do! Just because you don't agree doesn't mean it wasn't right!" Sweetie said finally raising her voice.

Scootaloo grit her teeth and grinded them together. "So just fuck me then huh? Fuck all the times I let you cry on my shoulder, fuck all the times I took the hard brunt of their bullying just to keep you safe, fuck all those times when Diamond and silver claimed you had no friends and no one would like you other than to just get close to your sister! FUCK EVERYTHING I'VE EVER DONE FOR YOU SINCE 3RD GRADE AM I RIGHT?!" Scootaloo shouted, tears welling up in her eyes as her cheeks burned red.

"Holding a grudge doesn't do anyone any good. Case in point? Look at you! You're an emotional and psychological wreck!" Sweetie stated plain as day.

"STOP USING FUCKING WORDS I DON'T KNOW YOU STUPID DICTONARY!" Scootaloo yelled using her oldest and most common 'insult' against Sweetie Belle. Of the trio of friends she was no doubt the smartest, Apple Bloom being the most optimistic and good with her hands and Scootaloo was the toughest. She was their enforcer. Their protector and yet despite that Sweetie threw herself to a wolf in sheep's clothing like Diamond Tiara and she couldn't fathom why!

Sweetie Belle sighed and shook her head. "Scootaloo what do you want me to do? Just tell me and I'll make it happen if it means we can be friends again. I hate it when we fight. I hate it when we don't get along and we're screaming at each other like this is some reality drama about who is dating who. I made my choice with Diamond and I have no regrets; please don't make yourself that one regret."

Those words stopped Scootaloo dead in her tracks. She would look directly at Sweetie Belle and said. "Y-You would pick HER over ME? You wouldn't dare."

Sweetie Belle kept her tone even and calm and said. "Would you choose hating her over trying to stay my friend?"

Scootaloo had no retort to that but the lack of answer was all the answer that Sweetie Belle needed to know she'd won for the most part. Now it was a simple matter of getting Scootaloo to try and at least think about changing her perspective on Diamond Tiara.

"So; where do we go from here? Diamond and I are well...on a break lets say for the time being. But she didn't break my heart because she wanted to. I'm pretty sure her Cozy has something to do with this and let me ask you something honestly; who do you hate more? Diamond Tiara, the girl who over the past year has been trying her very best to change everything about herself and not be the same bully she used to be? Or Cozy Glow, the single most evil Freshman to ever come into the halls of our school who not only proved she's worse than Diamond but worse than Sunset was back in her Queen B days? No offense Sunset."

"None taken. I was a Queen Bitch and that's why the B was capital. Cozy though? She's something else entirely. Even on the other side of the mirror Twilight had to well you know." Sunset slashed a finger across her throat to emphasize her point that Cozy Glow was such a complete irredeemable piece of shit that she made Twilight break her one rule about not killing her enemies but the filly turned nightmare alicorn left her no choice.

"Yikes." Rainbow winced. "Ain't think Princess Twi had it in her."

"You'd be surprised what can happen over in Equestria after you have to deal with invasion after invasion of enemy forces both foreign and domestic. Twilight even has her own royal guard now with the head of that guard having once been the solider who lead an attack on Equestria during the friendship festival she planned." Sunset explained the events of what Twilight called 'the invasion of the storm king' where a psychotic Yeti lead an attack on Canterlot in an attempt to usurp the throne and the power of the 4 princess' with an emotionally and physically scarred unicorn named Tempest Shadow as his second in command.

"Well good on her for handling her business." Rainbow said impressed at how far Princess Twilight had come since she'd first met her.

"Indeed; Princess Twilight has quite come into her own since her time coming here to see us that fateful Fall week. Truly that will be a moment none of us shall forget. It was thanks to her our school knew true friendship again" Rarity said fondly remembering when Twilight came back and it was through her efforts that her friendship was rekindled and she still had nothing but eternal thanks to the princess for all she'd done.

"And I want to keep that example up as best I can. So c'mon Scoots what do you say; friends?" Sweetie said putting out her hand to shake with Scootaloo since she knew the girl didn't exactly like hugs all that much since it was quote 'Super sappy'

Scootaloo stood there, flabbergasted and not sure what to say or do. She had been disrespectful, unkind and genuinely just fucked up over the past hour and a half and yet even through all that? Sweetie wanted to still be her friend? She couldn't begin to wrap her head around it but perhaps that was her lingering grudge against Diamond trying to hold onto some semblance of her hate but the more she thought about Sweetie's words? The more she realized she was right.

Diamond Tiara was indeed a horrible person a year and some change ago. She was cruel, vicious, spoiled, selfish, manipulative, a liar, a cheat and just the kind of bitch that Scootaloo wanted to punch so hard in the face but she'd sworn to Sweetie Belle that she wouldn't harm Diamond because Diamond's dad had a lot of influence and money. Not to mention both aunts worked for stores that her father owned and so all it would take was a single word from daddy's little princess and her aunts would be fired and blacklisted.

However compared to Cozy Glow that was all tame and child's play. Cozy didn't seek to just ruin Diamond at school, she sought to ruin her in general. She even managed to turn Silver Spoon; Diamond's most loyal and trusted friend against her to the point where now Diamond and Silver are no longer on speaking terms even though Silver Spoon is kind of friends with Apple Bloom since they had cooking classes together. Scootaloo hated Diamond and so back then she figured anything bad that happened to her was deserved; but over time and even now as she thought back to everything? She realized her enemy was not Diamond Tiara exactly but the ones who forged her into the horrible girl she'd been.

With a weary sigh Scootaloo dropped her shoulders and walked up to Sweetie Belle and hugged her tight and close. This caught Sweetie and everyone else in the room off guard as Scootaloo said.

"CMC's till the end...right?" Scootaloo said with a slight hitch in her voice as if she was about to cry.

Sweetie Belle smiled softly and hugged her friend back and ran a hand through her purple hair. "Always. Now; you go and apologize to Twilight right now!" Sweetie Belle released Scootaloo and flicked her on the forehead making the daredevil wince and pout.

"Ow! Okay, okay! Twi? I'm sorry. Like...really...REALLY sorry..."

"It's oka-" Twilight began to say but was cut off.

"No! No it's not. I blew up at you, cursed at you and made you feel small and unimportant like your words didn't matter when all you were trying to do was help even if you didn't know the full context. So I really am sorry for being so mean. And Sunset? I'm sorry for disrespecting your girl. It won't happen again." Scootaloo said with complete conviction and meaning behind her words.

"Good. I expect nothing less from you. You're a good girl Scoots. With a great group of friends who would go to the ends of the Earth to see you happy. Never forget that."

"I won't. I promise." Scootaloo stated.

"Pinkie Promise?" Sweetie asked with a slight pout still on her face.

"Awww c'mon do I have to-"

"Hmmmmmmmmm" Sweetie, Fluttershy and Rainbow all gave her the stare.

"Ok, ok, ok! I pinkie promise! Cross my heart and hope to fly stick a cupcake in my ey-ow! Ugh I hate doing that!" Scootaloo whined as she did the motion of the promise but accidentally smacked herself in the eye cause she was doing it to fast which prompted a laugh out of everyone in the room.

"Heheh ok, ok I think that's enough of all that for now. Who wants sautéed cinnamon apple slices with ice cream?" Fluttershy said smiling as she turned to head back into the kitchen to make everyone a snack to celebrate the two friends making up.

"We do!" Everyone in the room shouted gleefully which made Fluttershy blush and smile knowing they all enjoyed her snacks so much. With a nod she went to the kitchen and Rarity followed close behind.

"Well then sit tight darlings; Fluttershy and I shall tend to the kitchen and have a yummy set of snacks prepped right away!" Rarity said as she went into the kitchen to aid Fluttershy in making the group of friends a special treat.

"In the mean time you girls wanna play some video games? I've got Mario Kart!" Rainbow said with a smile as she pointed over to the 4K TV that had her game system(s) hooked up to it.

"You're on!" Sweetie & Scootaloo proclaimed as Mario Kart was their favorite game to play together. Smiling they rushed over to the controllers and immediately started arguing over who got to be player one.

"Dibs on the custom controller!" Scootaloo said.

"Hey no fair! You got to use it last time!" Sweetie Belle whined.

"I won last time and those are the rules!" Scootaloo proclaimed.

"Is not!" Sweetie protested.

"Is too!" Scootaloo retorted.

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

"Is not!!!"

"Is too you mini marshmallow!" Scootaloo said using an nickname often used for Rarity against her friend.

"Oooooh why you-!" Sweetie puffed out her cheeks and was fuming but nevertheless was happy to see Scootaloo happy and laughing again for once.

"Heheheh just messin' with ya Sweets. Here ya go." Scootaloo said chuckling and giving her the first controller and taking a seat in front of the TV and patting a seat next to her.

Sweetie stopped puffing her cheeks and sat down and took the controller as the game started up. "Don't think because we made up that I'm gonna go easy on you."

Scootaloo grinned much like Rainbow and said. "I wouldn't want you to too...and thanks for forgiving me Sweets. I'm sorry for being such a featherbrain."

Sweetie smiled and leaned over and kissed her friend on the cheek. "Apology accepted and forgiveness given. Let's play!"

Sunset, Twilight and Rainbow would say nothing and simply watch them play together. Rainbow smiled the entire time and could tell her pseudo sister was finally starting to open up about her feelings a bit. Twilight was happy to see the two friends back together and Sunset was proud all around and happy to see that in the end? Friendship and forgiveness still won the day.

'The past is not today. It wasn't for me and it isn't for them.' Sunset thought as she cuddled Twilight closer to her as she watched the two friends go head to head in a Mario Kart grudge match. Then she saw Scootaloo pick Rainbow Road and she smirked.

'Oh Scootaloo. Ever the daredevil.' This would at least be a good test of just how strong their friendship as and she had to give Scootaloo credit; people called her a chicken but she was NO coward.

Fluttershy's House

Having just finished up some delicious sautéed cinnamon apples with a side of ice-cream and cool whip Sunset and Twilight helped Fluttershy clean up. Meanwhile Rarity and Rainbow Dash were playing Mario Kart with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo having some much needed sisterly bonding time. They figured they could also leave Spike and Smolder here for the rest of the day until tomorrow so they could get their full check up and get a little relaxation time with Fluttershy and Rarity since Spike was especially sweet on her much to the dismay of Smolder even if she wouldn't admit it.

As they finished cleaning up the dishes the three girls would enter back into the living room so Twilight and Sunset could leave to go out to Sunset's car that was parked across the street. Each girl would give the other a hug goodbye and a smile.

"Thank you so much for coming girls and sorry for any trouble Scootaloo caused you." Fluttershy said giving a small apology on behalf of Scootaloo.

Sunset smiled and patted her friend on the back. "No worries Shy; just make sure you keep an eye on her and Sweetie. I really do worry about the CMC sometimes; Hell all of CHS really. Without us there to spread friendship and protect it? I kinda dread what might happen if someone else like Cozy shows up but has a thing for magic."

"Well I am sure we will be the first ones they call if a situation like that does arise. But of course I'll keep my eye on them. Where are you both headed?" Fluttershy asked curiously.

"Well we gotta run a couple more errands before heading home. Flurry Heart's birthday is soon so we need to stop by the mall and the toy store. Then we just need to hit the grocery store and maybe AJ's farm to get some fresh fruit. Now that you went and made those fried cinnamon apples I've got a craving" Sunset said licking her lips a bit as she really did want more. She blamed her new found sweet tooth on Pinkie Pie and that time she dared to get into a sugar snack eating contest with the pink ball of fun. Worst. Sugar Crash. Ever!

"Hehehe I'm glad you liked them; oh I think zap apples may still be in season at the farm. If you hurry you may be able to get a couple from Applejack before they get processed into jam." Fluttershy replied remembering that it was a special time of year for the apple family harvest.

"Oh nice! I've been wanting to get a fresh batch of those for months! Thanks Shy; see ya later!" Sunset said as she began to walk off with Twilight following.

"Sunset wait!" Sweetie said running outside really quick before Sunset could leave.

"What's up sweets?" Sunset asked.

"If you see Diamond at the mall; could you tell her I'm okay and not worry and that we are still friends? She hasn't answered my text yet" Sweetie pleaded. She may have had her best friend back but that didn't mean she wanted to give up on Diamond Tiara, girlfriend or not.

"You bet you sweet little cheeks I will" Sunset said with a cheeky smile and pinched Sweetie's aforementioned sweet cheek on the left side.

"Heeeey only Diamond gets to call me sweet cheeks!" Sweetie Belle huffed and pouted at the round of teasing she got from all sides. She would also puff out her cheeks to make Sunset let go.

"Hehehe D'awww isn't that cute Twi? They've already got cute pet names for each other!" Sunset teased and was happy to see Twilight was playing along.

"Hehe I concur, I wonder if you treat her like a princess the same way I treat Sunset. Hehe I bet you two are just precious together." Twilight said with a slick grin as Sunset blushed and more so when Fluttershy gasped and said.

"My goodness I sure hope not to the extent that you 'treat' Sunset. Naughty girls, they're only sixteen!" Fluttershy teased and she heard a roar of laughter from Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo from inside the house as they held their sides laughing at the fact that Fluttershy made sex joke! The universe was FULL of surprises today.

"BAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA" Rainbow laughed and rolled on the floor like she'd just heard a gut busting joke from Pinkie Pie.

"Pftttthahahahahahahahaha o-oh my gahahahahahahah" Scootaloo laughed about as hard as her big sister did having paused their game as to not fly off the track.

"S-Shy?!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed as her face lit up blushing pink even more now.

"Heheh my goodness h-how uncouth of you Fluttershy. I will have you know my little sister has treated Diamond Tiara with nothing but the utmost tact and decorum!" Rarity proclaimed dramatically in her sisters defense of how she would treat Diamond Tiara whenever they were together. While she did know the two had kissed and made out? She was positive(mostly) she had not popped her cherry yet.

"Thank you! Sheesh!" Sweetie Belle said feeling thankful her sister was in her corner but then? Betrayal struck!

"Though I will say Sweetie you should perhaps bite your pillow a bit more on the nights when you miss your...oh what was it you called her in-between moans again? Ah yes; Princess" Rarity teased giving a moaning and taunting impression of what her sister sounded like two fingers deep. Now sporting a smile all too similar to Adagio making the family resemblance quite clear if wasn't already.

The laughter in the room got even louder and Sweetie's face was pinker than Pinkie's skin was and she was fuming so hard steam bellowed out of her ears and her well done hair billowed up as her eyes comically went full red like she was some kind of kill bot.

"You...Have 10 seconds to start running....10...9....8...7654!...3....2....1!" Sweetie sounded virtually robotic now as she stalked close to a laughing Rarity who knew full well what was about to happen. It was at the moment she reached one that she pounced at Rarity only to be blocked by her diamond shield.

"Oh goodn-ahhhhh!" Rarity acted fast and put up a shield and then darted off out of the house from the backdoor into the backyard giggling like a madwoman while her little sister chased her down with vicious sisterly pranking intent.

"YOU GET YOUR HIGH FROU, FROU SPA LOVING TEA DRINKING CLOTHING SOWING WHITE SKINNED BUTT BACK HERE AND FACE ME LIKE A WOMAN RARITY!!!" Sweetie shouted giving chase to her big sister into the backyard. Sweetie Belle was now in playful seek and destroy mode and had her sights set on Rarity.

As the two sisters ran off to begin their battle Scootaloo and Rainbow finally calmed down off their laughing fit and having experienced that and seeing it was still pretty nice outside they didn't want to be left out of the fun. So giving each other a mischievous look they got up from their game and smiled at each other.

"I'll get the slingshots." Scootaloo said putting up her hand.

"And I'll fill the balloons and set up the Pegasus nest!" Rainbow said with a equally mischievous smirk as she had another excuse to snipe from the makeshift 'nest' she built in the attic of Fluttershy's house when they were younger and had since modified it over the years.

"Awww yeah!" They high-fived grasped hands and then went off to go get what they needed.

"Oh that sounds like fun." Sunset chuckled looking over into the house.

Fluttershy shook her head and giggled. "It's going to be a mess I'm sure. I'll see you girls later; I need to go get towels ready. Dashie! Don't make them so big!" Fluttershy said as she turned to see Rainbow filling up a massive water balloon in the kitchen that would not have made it up stairs without bursting. Closing the door she'd rush to make sure things didn't get too out of hand.

"Should we be worried about that?" Twilight asked with a smile as she and Sunset walked off to the car.

"Nah Rarity has her diamond shields and Sweetie Belle has water balloon fights with Scoots, Dash, me and AJ all the time so it's alright. She's a lot tougher than others give her credit. Yeah she may be quick to cry sometimes but she's such a strong girl. And if I find her ex-girlfriends douche of a dad? I'm gonna have a few choice words for him." Sunset said knowing that the removal of Diamond Tiara in such a manner was going to be tough to deal with but she had a few tricks up her sleeve to handle the situation.

Twilight would nod as they got to the car and she got on the passengers side and waited for Sunset to open the door. She had almost forgotten she'd slipped her shoes off earlier to chase Sunset so her feet her a little sore but that would go away in time she was sure. In the reflection of the car mirror she saw something headed towards the back of Sunset's head and acting fast she stopped a pair of water balloons from striking her in the back with her magic.

Sunset would turn around and see they were dangerously close and she smiled looking over at her shoulder at Twilight.

"Nice save Sparky." Sunset said with a chuckle.

Smiling Twilight winked at her. " You've had my back all day; figured I'd return the favor. Speaking of returning? YOU CAN HAVE THESE BACK!" Twilight shouted and used her magic to toss the balloons back at the ones who fired them from the Pegasus nest of Fluttershy's house and it struck them both in the head.

"Gyah my eye!" Rainbow shouted.

"Ack it got it my mouth!" Scootaloo gagged and spat.

"BOOM! HEADSHOT!" Twilight said giving a finger pistol with both hands.

"Heheheh nice one Twi! C'mon let's go to the mall before it gets too crowded." Sunset said with a laugh as they loaded into the car and drove off to the mall so they could pick up a present for Flurry. Her little heartthrob was turning 3 this year! She wanted to get her three special toys, one being from her, one from Sunset and the last being from them both.

She would do anything to see that precious little smile on Flurry Heart's face and to hear that adorable little laugh she had. Smiling still she learned over and planted a nice big smooch on Sunset's cheek as she began to drive.

"Mmmmmmahw!" Twilight giggled at the reaction Sunset gave. She would always tease her about how adorkable hers were but Sunset's were just as cute.

Sunset's lips turned into a goofy lopsided ditzy smile as she felt the heat of Twilight's lips burn into her flesh. "W-What was that for?"

"For doing everything in your power to make me smile and feel happy again." Twilight said cheerfully and kissed her on that spot again just to push her point forward.

Sunset blushed and continued smiling. "I would do it again a million times and more. I'll always do anything to see you smile and hear you laugh. Anyone who threatens that? Will have to answer to me. No matter who they are."

Twilight felt her heart beat more and more hearing such sweet things from Sunset. "Then I guess it's up to me to make you as happy as you made me today then. Challenge accepted."

Sunset grinned. "Oh now I'm intrigued. And what are you gonna do to make me as happy as you are hm?"

Twilight winked and leaned back in the car seat. "As Pinkie likes to say; the best part of a surprise is revealing it at the right time"

Sunset laughed. "Oh so taking note from Pinkie instead of on Pinkie now eh? Finally learned your lesson have you?"

Twilight groaned and covered her blushing face with her hands. "Yeeeees. Yes! I won't try and experiment on Pinkie and her Pinkie sense anymore I already double pinkie promised and sealed it with a kiss remember?" Twilight reminded Sunset with a playful pout as she continued to drive.

"Hehe long as you remember we are good to go." Sunset teased.

Twilight smiled and took out her phone to scroll through it and found she had a message from Fluttershy. Opening it up she smiled brighter to see a picture attached and in the picture were Rarity, Sweetie, Rainbow & Scootaloo all playing and having fun in the backyard with water balloons and even some of the animals were joining in. She'd decide to share the photo on her snap-gab giving it the caption:

"Smiles all around today! Friendship will always win the day"

Canterlot City Mall

Like any other city in the world Canterlot had a mall and it was a big one. Plenty of stores, a vast and varied food court, places for kids to play while their parents shopped and so much more. It was places like this that really did make her fancy the human world over the pony world; not that she didn't miss or love her home but Equestria as far as she knew didn't have any really big industrial malls like the human world did. Shops and big company stores but no real mall meshing them all together.

'I wonder if I could convince Twilight to bring malls to Equestria? Maybe I could talk to pony Rarity about it? Bet she'd love that' Sunset giggled and wondered what pony Rarity would do if she was left to her own devices in a mall in the human world. She shuddered and immediately stopped thinking about it because that would be pure absolute madness only possibly matched by having pony pinkie and human pinkie in the same place.

As Sunset continued to drive the car towards the mall and pulled into the large parking lot so began the usual game of: Find a parking spot! It was Friday so it was sure to be a lightning round today and Sunset knew her driving may need to get a little aggressive since getting a parking space at the mall during the rush hour on a Friday was always an event of some sort. Meanwhile in the passenger seat Twilight was still simply goofing around on her cellphone when suddenly she got a face-time call request from Cadence.

"Oh! Cady is calling!" Twilight smiled happily and removed her headphones that were attached to her phone and put it on speaker and a special cradle in the car so she and Sunset could speak to Cadence while Sunset drove. Once it was set and Twilight hit answer Cadence came on screen and with her was her daughter Flurry Heart.

"Hiiii Twily, Sunny! Lookie who I have with me!" Cadence said with a happy smile as she held Flurry in her arms and the little toddler grabbed for the phone as if trying to reach for Twilight.

"Awww theres my wittle heartthrob! Hiii Flurry, kiss, kiss?" Twilight asked Flurry through the phone and was delighted to see Flurry purse her little lips and kiss at the screen twice. Giggling happily she clapped for her, she adored her so much and seeing her always brought out a special kind of love out of her.

"Hehe hey can auntie Sunny get a little love too Flurry?" Sunset said in a playfully hurt tone of voice but quickly turned it to a smile when she saw the toddler reach in her direction and blurt out the words.

"Pony" Flurry didn't know many words but she did know that one and it was always how she referred to Sunset Shimmer. She hadn't even ever seen her as a pony before but somehow just through sheer instinct she somehow knew and just off the cuff called her that.

"Hehe love you too rugrat" Sunset teased and blew the a tiny raspberry at the toddler who responded in kind with one of her own. This of course got a giggle and a laugh out of both Twilight and Cadence which in turn made the baby laugh.

"And she is the most adorable wittle rugrat in this world or any other one! Isn't that right my little princess?" Cadence said tickling her little pink tummy making the baby giggle even more as she was held by her mother.

"Heh hey she's even more of a princess on the other side of the mirror. I think she's about to hit 6 years old pretty soon too. Hey you know what? since I'm sure having them in the same place won't collapse the multiverse-"

"Probably" Twilight interjected smugly.

"Ok probably sure it won't collapse the multiverse; but still I think if we plan it right we might be able to invite Princess Flurry over for a dual party if you want. You already planned it out I assume right?" Sunset asked Cadence as she still searched the parking lot for an open spot that was close enough to the building but not in any handicap spots.

Cadence nodded and bounced Flurry in her arms a little. "Yep. I have her party all plotted and scheduled at Cheeses Fun Place for next Saturday. Oh and thank you so, so much for helping me plan it all Twily and please give Pinkie a thank you me if I cannot do it myself. Work has been so incredibly busy lately." Cadence said with a small huff. Such was the life of a principal who needed to clean up the mess of her predecessors.

"Yeah being principal can be a real tough job especially dealing with some of those rich snob kids that CPA tends to get. No offense but some of those kids are just-" Twilight was about to say something really nasty but was trying to find different words as Flurry was present.

"Lets just call them unsavory for the sake of Flurry's sweet little ears." Cadence stated with a roll of her eyes. She knew Twilight wasn't wrong because out of all the students they had only a entire handful or two were any actual good on top of being prodigy's in their field of study.

The Crystal 6 as they called themselves in their senior year: Indigo Zap, Sunny Flare, Lemon Zest, Sugarcoat, Sour Sweet & their newest member at the time Moon Dancer; were all highly intelligent and gifted girls whom each had learned the real value of friendship and even love by the end of their High School career. However others were still the same pompous, greedy, selfish, entitled, holier than thou and intellectually/culture superiority brats that had began flooding into Crystal Prep the moment the likes of Sombra, Neighsay & Cinch were appointed as Principals before her.

Cadence as principal wanted nothing more than for any and all students who walked those crystalline halls to be molded into a fine and shining diamond that would go out into the world and shine brightly to share their knowledge and experience with the world knowing they were armed with the right morals and code to see things through. But when she had students the likes of Blueblood, Lightning Dust & Tempest Shadow? It made her wonder if she was truly right for this position.

With a sigh Cadence dispelled all those negative nasty thoughts and refocused on the positive with a smile. "Anyway enough about work. It's still the summer time so you girls are of course still invited to Flurry's party and if you could get Princess Flurry and maybe even a couple of her friends to come? I would appreciate it. Being a mother without many motherly friends with kids Flurry's age can be so hard." Cadence pouted with a huff.

"Heh is that your way of trying to convince us to give Mrs. Velvet more grandkids?" Sunset smirked and saw the flustered expression on Twilight.

"Sunny?!" Twilight gaped at her girlfriend who simply laughed in her seat.

"Ahahahaha o-oh goodness Sunset you're awful!" Cadence burst out laughing and Flurry did too.

"Isn't she?" Twilight smirked and playfully flicked Sunset.

"And you both love me for it" Sunset retorted.

"Yeah but I love you more!" Twilight retorted in kind.

"Can't argue with her there." Cadence said with a giggle. "Anyway what are you girls up too?"

"Oh just a couple errands, we actually just got to the mall so we could pick up a couple presents for Flurry Heart's birthday and then we were gonna go food shopping before going home." Twilight replied as Sunset kept driving.

"Oh it's rush hour time at the mall I'm sure. That can't be fun finding a parking spot" Cadence chuckled.

"Oh you have no BUCKING idea." Sunset said using an Equestrian curse word.

"Sunset! Language!" Twilight chastised Sunset.

"Oh c'mon she doesn't even understand Equestrian." Sunset rolled her eyes and then saw a parking space. "Oh buck yes! Mine!"

"Sunset watch gyaaaah!" Twilight yelped as the car whipped into the spot Sunset found jerking her around in the car in the process which got a giggle out of Flurry through the phone.

"Ehehe sorry Twi." Sunset said sheepishly. "But hey look ! We got a good spot!" Sunset smiled as pointed out how close they were to the mall entrance.

"I am SO gonna get you later you cheeky little pony you." Twilight said with underlying venom in her voice.

"Oooooooh scandalous." Cadence teased.

"Goodbye Cady. Love you." Twilight rolled her eyes and laughed.

"Love you too. See you later ladybug; say bye,bye Flurry"

"baaabaa" Flurry blurted out part of the word kind of but Twilight understood just fine.

"Heheh bye, bye Flurry. Twily wuvs you. mmmahw" She blew her niece a kiss and smiled as she hung up the phone and sighed happily and looked over at Sunset. "She's so precious. I can't wait to see her on her birthday. You really think Princess Flurry will be able to come?"

Sunset smiled and nodded. "Sure I don't see why not; I'll write Princess Twilight when we get home and see what she says. With any luck she will write back tonight or tomorrow." Sunset said as she turned off the car and got out and Twilight did the same. Once both out of the car they headed for the entrance to the mall. People were coming and going as usual and it didn't look too crowded but it was still pretty busy here at the mall; not that big of a surprise since the summer sun celebration was soon and people were getting ready.

"This celebration is gonna be huge. We've got a lot of work ahead of us in the new few weeks but I think we've got it handled. C'mon Twi lets get to the toy store, with any luck all the good plush toys aren't gone." Sunset said as she took Twilight by the hand and guided her through the mall.

Every so often they would see another couple or a friend from High School like Vinyl Scratch & Octavia, Derpy who was working at a muffin stand she started up with her boyfriend only known as 'Doc' and it was a cute little station that looked like a sci-fi lab/kitchen that made muffins and they called it "Derp's & Doc's Muffins".

Twilight knew Doc pretty well. They took astrophysics and advance scientific mechanic classes together at CPA and she was the one who introduced him to Derpy. She was so happy the two managed to hit it off so well and that Derpy was so happy with him after so many girls at school said she'd never get a date because of her slightly low intelligence, clumsy nature and wall-eye. It wasn't even so much that Derpy was dumb, just slower than others but Doc loved that about her and accepted her for it.

Twilight smiled and waved at them as they pass by and Derpy waved back in return only to knock over a large plate of muffins but Twilight used her magic to catch it and float it back onto the counter for Derpy and smiled as they kept walking. As they continued walking through the mall and listening to the music that played through the tv's and speakers of the place they at last arrived to their location. The sounds of laughing, screaming and some even crying children could be heard from inside and the place was awash in the colors of the rainbow with varying types of toys of all types for all types of kids scattered about on shelves tall as could be. This was Kidds Toy Palace.

"Heeeeey girls! Fancy pantsy meeting you here!" said a cheery voice from inside the store.

"Well coat me in honey and roll me in ponyfeathers; hey Pinkie! Awww and look who you have with you; hiiii twins!" Sunset said giving Pinkie a hug and then smiling down at the cake Twin's Pinkie Pie had with her. Even after graduating High School Pinkie was still their go to babysitter and was like a big sister to the two twins to an extent since she'd known them since birth.

Pumpkin and Pound were both older than Flurry Heart by two years making them each five years old. Pumpkin stood on the left of Pinkie wearing blue overhauls and a pink power pony shirt with Filly Second on it, pink socks and light blue shoes. On the right was her twin brother wearing a blue dragon knight's shirt with a character that looked strikingly similar to spike in color scheme with tan shorts and black sneakers. Pumpkin of course being the most excitable reached up to Sunset greeting her with an infectious smile.

"Hi Sunny!" Pumpkin said with a smile as she reached up for Sunset. To which Sunset responded by pick up her and hoisting her into the air. "Weeeheheheheh!!" Pumpkin giggle happily as she was greeted by her second favorite babysitter since she was 3. Though even at five she still wore the cute little blue bow she had gotten not long after her birth.

"Hehehe hiiii Pum-Pum! Didja miss me? Huh my wittle baby-cake?" Sunset said lifting her up and down and then giving her a hug before putting her back down on her feet. She'd given her to nickname pum-pum when she was 3 and she had just started babysitting her because when she was teaching her to say her name? At first all she could say was 'Pum-Pum' and it was the cutest thing Sunset ever did see!

"Uh huh! I gots new teeth! See?" Pumpkin opened up her mouth and showed off all her teeth that had fully grown in for the most part. A couple were still missing but still she had a nice cute pair of pearly whites to smile with and that made Sunset smile.

"Well, well look at that winning smile! You've been a good girl for Pinkie right?" She asked with a sly smile at the five year old girl. Pumpkin could be a little troublemaker much like her brother when she wanted to be but Sunset liked that about her.

Blushing sheepishly Pumpkin nodded at Sunset. "Yep. me and pound have been good for her! Auntie Pinkie brought us here so we could get new toys!" Pumpkin said cheerfully.

"Aw is that right Pound? Was someone a good little boy?" Twilight said kneeling down and smiling at the little boy who stood next to Pinkie Pie a small dragon knight action figure in his little hands. Dragon Knight's was a popular kids show for young boys but surprisingly had a pretty big female fanbase too, even adult women like Vice Principal Luna and grown men like her brother Shining armor.

Pound nodded excitedly smiling. "Yeah! Pinkie said she would get me a new robot toy if I was good in school and I was!"

"That's wonderful!" Twilight booped him on the nose and smiled herself. "If you're a really good boy I might even make it a super special robot toy for you; would you like that?"

His face lit up as he was somewhat aware of the fact that Twilight was super smart and could make advanced robots. "Can she Pinkie? Please, please, please?!" Pound asked excitedly jumping up and down and tugging at Pinkie's pant leg.

Pinkie Pie smiled as per usual picking Pound up much to his glee and replied. "Well of course Poundy! Anything for my little fella! Soooo what are you girls doing here today?" Pinkie asked as they went into the store with the kids.

"Picking up gifts for Flurry's birthday next weekend. Just got off the phone with Cadence not long ago; Flurry has gotten so big. I think I even saw a couple teeth coming in!" Twilight sighed happily and couldn't get over just how much she loved her little heartthrob.

"Aww that's super duper Twilight! I got her gifts a few months ago and stashed away in the party cave so no worries there!" Pinkie Pie said smiling and was so happy to soon celebrate Flurry's 3rd birthday.

"Oh speaking of which Cadence says thanks for the help with organizing Flurry's party and getting her a discount with Cheese Sandwich. Can't lie and say the guy can throw one helluva kid's party but BUCK are his prices hiyaaaaaaah!" Sunset finished her sentence with a yelp as she felt her ass smacked by Twilight and she pouted as Twilight smirked smugly after adjusting her glasses.

"Watch your mouth! There are children present Sunset" Twilight said wagging her finger at her girlfriend.

"oooooooh" Pinkie teased childishly as did Pound in her arms as they watched Sunset get scolded by Twilight.

"Hehehhe Auntie Sunny got a spanking!" Pumpkin teased Sunset in a sing-songy tone and it was just too adorable for Sunset to resist. Pumpkin was without a doubt the sassiest and funniest little girl she'd ever met and was so happy she was being brought up by the likes of Pinkie and the cakes.

"Oh you think its funny do ya Pum-Pum? You know what else is funny? THIS!"

Smirking deviously at the giggling five year old she picked her up again and began tickling her in return and reveled in her yelps and shouts as she tickled her in the middle of the toy store without a care in the world making the little orange haired girl wiggle in her grip laughing like crazy.

"HEHEHEHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH A-AUNTIEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH H-HEEHEHEHELEEEEEEELP!!" Pumpkin screamed and laughed for mercy and for her auntie Pinkie to save her from the savage tickling menace that was Sunset Shimmer.

"OH NO LOOK POUND! YOUR LITTLE SISTER IS BEING ATTACKED BY A TICKLE DEMON!" Pinkie proclaimed to the young pound who watched on as his sister was tickled and made to laugh uncontrollably by Sunset Shimmer. Pinkie knew where this was going and her smile showed she was very excited for what was to come.

"Let my sister go!" Pound said hopping down from Pinkie's grip and looked ready to 'fight' Sunset.

"Unhand that adorable little cutie you tickling fiend!" Pinkie demanded.

Sunset merely smirked and looked over to Twilight. They had done this shtick before with Pinkie and Pound and would gladly do it here. Twilight used her magic and morphed herself halfway into Midnight Sparkle and she got a crazy look on her face as she whipped her magic hand forward and stole Pounds precious dragon knight toy.

"H-Hey! Gimme that back!" Pound shouted. That was Sir Fire Stone the great! His favorite toy! No one messed with his favorite toy!

"Hmmm perhaps I will after my 'experiments'! Muawhahahahahahaha! Come my loyal demon princess! They can't catch us both!" Twilight said running off into the store headed towards the girls section knowing that Pound didn't like going in the girls section for fear of cooties.

"Catch us if you can kiddies! Hehehehehahahahahhahaha!" Sunset darted off after Twilight still tickling and holding Pumpkin.

"Kyaaaaaaahahahahahahahaha! Pound! Pinkie!! Heeeeeelp!" Pumpkin called out as she vanished into the store with her captors.

"After 'em! Raaah!" Pound shouted and began to run forward but was stopped by Pinkie who smiled deviously.

"Ah, ah. Not yet! We have to morph too! Girl's section is full of cootie's that are dangerous for little boys!" Pinkie said knowing that pound knew what that meant even at his age.

His face lit up with excitement and he smiled wide. "Oh right! I'm ready!" He announced knowing what was coming next, he loved having Pinkie as a babysitter cause she could do super cool stuff like this!

"Let's do it! Pony Up!" Pinkie Pie used her magic geode to transform into her heroic magical pony girl outfit and then from her hair she pulled out what looked like a little smoke bomb and tossed it at Pounds feet and when the smoke cleared he was instantly changed into a cute little replica of one of the dragon knights from his favorite cartoon. It was a suit of green and purple armor and he was armed with a toy knight sword.

Pinkie would then get on all fours and allow Pound to hop on her back and she whinnied like a horse and sprinted forward.

"Onward! To save the princess! Chaaaaaaaarge!" Royal Dragon Knight Poundious shouted in glorious vigor as he rode his trusty and hyperactive steed Pinkie The Sugary! He would save his precious twin princess sister from the vile and horrid red demon princess and her mad scientist! He would not allow them to torture his poor sister or his precious dragon knight figure any longer!

"Ready or not here we come! I mean neigh!!!!" Pinkie said but then remembered horses don't talk. That would be silly. Sunset was a unicorn, totally different. Pinkie smiled and pranced along towards the girls section of the store ready for the fun that awaited within.

Smile!

Canterlot City Mall: Kidds Toy Palace- Girls Section

Canterlot City mall was very multi-tiered with each level of the mall really having a different theme to what stores and shops were offered on each and many of the stores were very big and either reached high to the ceiling going from one floor of the mall to the next or they were far reaching to the back and had a lot of space in other ways. Either way all this space meant businesses boomed in Canterlot if you could afford the space in the mall and the owner of this toy store had plenty of stock to fill the shelves and it would leave the shelves just as quickly as it got there sometimes.

Kids in Canterlot loved their toys and with how much more advanced they'd been getting these day? It was no wonder toys were still competing with video games. Though then again this toy store sold video games too. As with other shops in the mall this store had multiple tiers though this was one of the only 2 shops that had a section of store on all three floors of the mall. The others included a popular clothing store Rarity frequented and the movie theater which were the most visited locations in the mall besides the food court of course.

With the toy store being so big and divided into sections, the entrance on the first floor was the section mainly for toddlers and little kids ages 1-10. There was a section for boys and a section for girls separated by the colors often used to tell the two genders apart like red, blue, black and green for the boys and pink, yellow, light blue, and white for the girls. The boys section was filled with action figures, dart guns, dodgeballs & Dragon Knights was the main attraction. However that is not where Sir Poundious the Mighty and his steed Pinkie the Sugary were charging head first into.

No they were going head first into the all girls section. The section awash in dolls, tea sets, jump rope, plushies & the main attraction here was the rival show to Dragon Knights and funny enough the two shows had a crossover coming up. The show was about a group of 4 magic using warrior girls based on different magical creatures and the show was called: P.O.N.Y.; with the letters standing for the names and colors of the four main characters.

It was a show that Sunset and Twilight watched with Pumpkin and Pound often even though it took them a bit of convincing to get Pound into the show. But after seeing how good the action was and coming to like the main characters he liked it as much as his sister did. All of this to say that this show had a big fanbase and it just so happened that today there was a new shipment of plushies in and Twilight and Sunset planned to take full advantage of that fact.

They'd come to this store many a time and preformed this act, all the little girls liked it when they did it because it brought something fun and new and unexpected to their visit. They even remembered a couple times when the owner of the store asked if they could come in and do the performance for charity events and of course they agreed. Whether playing the hero or the villain both Sunset and Twilight knew how to draw a crowd and that helped greatly here.

"Hello girls! Miss us? Lookie who I've got here!" Sunset with said with devious smile as she held Pumpkin captive and snuggled and tickled her still not allowing her to escape her grasp.

"Yahahahahahaha h-hehehehee-help!!!" Pumpkin laughed and flailed about in Sunset's grip as she got her little tummy tickled.

one little girl with yellow hair and pigtails would gasp. "Oh no! She's got pumpkin! Let her go!"

Several little girls gathered round her and shouted. "Yeah!"

Sunset smirked and stuck out her tongue at them. "Nyeh. I don't wanna, she's too cute to stop tickling. Buuuuut maybe I will if you all stop the big mean boy that's chasing us!" Sunset proclaimed dramatically.

"Boy?" The girls gasped as they felt it blasphemy for a boy to enter this part of the store.

"Mmmhm. Isn't that right Sparky?" She turned to ask her half morphed girlfriend with a cheeky smile.

Twilight nodded and turned her eyes to the girls putting on a pleading look. "Yeah, he was so mean and said that P.O.N.Y. is stupid and not fun!"

"What?!" They all gasped and screamed out now completely on Twilight and Sunset's side. No one called P.O.N.Y stupid and not fun! Those were fighting words! The little blonde girl with pigtail's eyes even changed red and her hair seemingly caught on fire.

"Yeah and the worst part is-?" Sunset cooked up some fake crocodile tears, hitched her voice and frowned. "H-He...He's taken Pinkie Pie hostage!!"

"Noooooooo!" They all shouted and cried. Pinkie Pie was a babysitter for many if not all these girls and so to hear that she'd been taken hostage by some icky yucky boy? They would not stand for this!

Pumpkin tried to speak up to defend her brother but her mouth was covered by Sunset and then Sunset whispered in her ear. "Play along and auntie will buy you an extra new toy" Sunset grinned as she saw Pumpkin's face light up at the prospect of being able to get another toy.

"Okay" Pumpkin said quietly with a giggle as she stayed in Sunset's grasp.

"So what do you say girls? Will you help us defeat the evil mean dragon knight boy!?" Sunset asked the girls in a rallying tone.

"Yeah!" The girls put their fists up cheering in unison.

"Good girls! You all keep him distracted. He's coming to get this!" Twilight said as she held up his precious action figure and smirked wondering what to do with it, in her half midnight state she had a tendency to be pretty devious but never really in a mean spirited way.

"To arms my little P.O.N.Y friends! Protect your princesses at all costs!" Warrior Princess Sunset declared to her legion of cute soldiers. Pumpkin smiled along with her and had finally stopped resisting as she stopped tickling her and the two were now in cahoots to thwart the efforts of Pound and Pinkie.

"Yes ma'am!" The girls all chanted as they went to arm themselves. While this was the girls section they did in fact have girl versions of boys toys like dart guns and toy weapons but it was mostly magic wands or plastic swords. Given that he had Pinkie Pie on his side he had a pretty big advantage.

"Justice shall be swift! Justice shall be beautiful! It shall be MAGICAL!!!" Shouted one little ten year old girl in a pink hooded cloak and an outfit that made her look like a cute little magical girl and she was armed with a replica of the characters weapon which was a big high tech looking hammer.

"Heheh I'd like to see Pinkie get past all this." Sunset said with a cheeky smirk knowing Pinkie would find a way somehow but that didn't make it any less fun to see how she would do it!

"This is gonna be fun!" Pumpkin said with a smile and hugged Sunset. "Thanks Auntie Sunny"

Sunset giggled and hugged Pumpkin back, she loved making the girl smile and showing her a fun time. She was apart of how she started her redemption after all. She had started babysitting her when she was 3 years old one time when Pound was away with her father on a trip and Mrs. Cake had a conference to go to. Pinkie Pie was also tied up visiting her family and so Sunset offered to babysit Pumpkin to show she really was changing; it started off pretty crazy since Pumpkin was hard to handle at first as a baby but over time she got used to it and now? She and Pumpkin were inseparable.

"No problem Pum-Pum. Now let's get the princess on her throne shall we?" Sunset said with a smile and walked over to a special toy throne that was apart of a playset for the P.O.N.Y show as it was a replica of the throne the main character's mentor sat in within their throne room. Sitting Pumpkin down in it she looked around and found free to play with replica's of the princess' crown and mighty magic scepter and gave it to Pumpkin since the princess was her favorite character.

She would then knee down and 'bow' to the princess and play along with the roles they had set up. "Praise be to the great and adorable High Princess Pumpkin Cake. What do you wish of me your high royal cuteness?" Sunset said with as much of a straight face as she possibly could muster.

Princess Pumpkin smiled and tapped the scepter on each side of Sunset shoulders. "Protect the princess from the dragon meanie!" Her orders were simply and too the point which Sunset liked. So she wished it? So it shall be!

"As you wish. Thy will be done; to me my mad Twientist!" She always said it this way in front of Pumpkin because she couldn't pronounce scientist and because it was a play on Twilight's name and the fact that she was indeed a mad scientist.

Twilight would get deep into her persona and crept up to Sunset with a devious almost insane smile. "Yessss Princess?"

Sunset grinned her old evil grin. "We have a couple of meanies to stop. They plan to ruin our sweet little princess' fun! We can't have that now can we?"

Twilight gasped dramatically and then smiled again. "Oh no, no, no, no we can't have that at all! No one spoils a princess' fun! We shall defeat them and they will be forced to watch the princess have her fun while they have none!" Twilight proclaimed trying to be as dramatic as possible.

Sunset smiled at Twilight deviously and just to tease and mess with Pumpkin she went up to Twilight and kissed her on the lips. "They don't stand a chance against us."

Pumpkin giggled and dramatically gagged at the sight of them kissing. "Ewwww gross"

Twilight smiled and kissed Sunset back. "Is not; her kisses are sweet and make me strong!"

"Pppppbbbbt" Pumpkin blew a raspberry at them as typical of a child.

Sunset and Twilight giggled together like mad women as they turned to see and hear Pinkie and Pound charging forward. Seeing Pinkie had Pony'ed up and even put Pound in his favorite Dragon Knight costume only made them smile wider as they couldn't ever get enough of seeing little Pound Cake act all tough and strong especially since for such a little boy he was surprisingly but not overtly strong.

"Here they come! Don't let them get to the High Princess my little P.O.N.Y's!" Sunset proclaimed as she stood next to Twilight.

"Protect the Princess!" Twilight shouted to help rouse up the army of little girls.

"P.O.N.Y. POWER!!" The girls shouted with glee as they saw Pinkie approaching with Pound on her back. The one little girl dressed in what looked like a Japanese style kung-fu fighting kimono/gi with yellow hair in pigtails, orange skin and purple eyes stepped up and punched a fist into her palm.

"Let get 'em girls!"

"Right behind ya sis!" The same pink hooded 10 year old from before said.

"You don't think he'll pull my hair do you?" One little girl with blue skin snow white hair and crystal blue eyes said timidly.

"I'd like to see him try! He won't get away with taking Auntie Pinkie!" Said another girl with black and purple hair, purple skin and yellow eyes.

As Pound and Pinkie came closer, Pinkie came to a stop and Pound hopped up on her back and stood up and drew his sword. Raising it to the sky he announced his arrival with a big smile.

"Haha! Have no fear Princess Pumpkin! Because I am here!" He announced proudly like Pinkie always taught him too, a hero always showed up smiling to let people know everything would be okay.

"There he is girls! Don't let him get to the throne!" Twilight said as she kept his precious action figure close.

"Attack my little P.O.N.Y's!" Sunset said waving a hand forward for her little ones to go and 'attack' Pound and Pinkie.

"Let's do it!" Pound said raising his sword to the sky and shouting. "I am the Great and Mighty Knight Poundious! Hear me Roar!" The young boy gave a 'mighty' roar as he stood atop Pinkie's back.

"Oooh this calls for a song!" Pinkie said as she reached into her hair and pushed a button on a speaker she had in there and the entire area was filled with a musical tune and it was one Twilight, Sunset, Pumpkin, Pound and anyone who knew Pinkie Pie knew well. She figured it would be a good distraction for the girls since they all loved to dance and sing along to this song.

🎵 C'mon Everybody smile, smile, smile; fill my heart up with sunshine, sunshine!🎵

It was then the bass dropped and the song went from its 'normal' tempo to a remix with dubstep inserted. Pound gave a determined look as did the girls on the other side as the battle for princess Pumpkin was about to begin!

🎵C'mon and smile(x3) C'mon and smile(x3) C'MON and Smile(x3) C'MON & SMILE!!!!🎵

🎵My name is Pinkie Pie(Hello!) And I am here to say!(How ya doin'?)
I'm gonna make you SMILE and brighten up you daaay!
It doesn't matter now(What's up?); if you are sad or blue!(Howdy!)
Cause cheerin' up my friends is just what Pinkie is here to doooooooo!🎵

"CHAAAAAAARGE!" Pound shouted and jumped off Pinkie's back and ran towards the girls with toy sword in hand, music playing behind him and a big playful smile on his face. This wouldn't be the first time he'd taken on the girls like this in the store but usually he had his own friends with him.

🎵Cause I love to make you smile, smile, smile yes I do!🎵

🎵It fills my heart with sunshine all the while! Yes it does!🎵

🎵Cause all I really need is a smile, smile, smile; from these happy friends of mine!🎵

"Not so fast dragon! You'll have to get by the mighty Yoshi first!" Said the girl with the yellow hair in pigtails from earlier. Yoshi was the name of the character she was dressed up ass or resembled rather, the actual character was much older with bigger boobs and longer hair. Yoshi Kirin was the characters full name and she was the brawler of the four main characters and the oldest.

"Yeah and if you mess with Yoshi? You mess with her sister Penny!" Said the girl with the pink hair and big hammer. It was funny since she was the older of the two real sisters here but in the show Penny Pony is the name of the main character which made it funny because the name of the show and their fighting team was called P.O.N.Y.

"Can't we just be friends?" The girl with white hair and blue skin spoke up.

"Not until you gimme back my dragon knight toy and the princess!" Dragon Knight Poundious would not be deterred.

"Don't worry Opphi; Ninja Kat Nix will protect you!" said the one girl with purple and black hair as she stood in front of the more timid white eyed girl to protect her. Nix shade was the more edgy member of the team who usually dressed in all black and purple and has a ninja cat like theme to her.

"T-Thanks Nixxy; he sounds scary but if you are here I can protect the princess too! You won't get past Ophelia Winters!" She said hiding no long as she stood shoulder to shoulder with her friend and held her hand which made the dark skinned girl blush a light pink on her dark cheeks. Ophelia Winters was the more elegant member of the team that bore a lot of similarities to Rarity which instantly made her Rarity's favorite character.

Pound saw himself surrounded. Girls at every angle, all armed and most of them were bigger than he was. He was able to count to at least 10 now and there was more than that here. However that would not stop him! Running forward he gave a mighty roar and attacked but he was tripped up by a jump rope lassoed around his little leg and he yelped and whipped his head around to see who it was and it shouldn't have come as a surprise to see a glowing red aura around the rope.

"Ah no fair using magic!!" Poundious shouted as he struggled against the rope that was slowly beginning to tie him up.

"Heheh who ever said I was gonna play fair? But since you want fairness? I think someone needs a tickling just like I did the princess!" Sunset said as she smirked deviously using her magic to slowly drag him over as the other girls cheered for him to get tickled. The only way this would be worse is if Pinkie was the one doing the tickling because lord help the poor soul who got tickled by Pinkie and lived to tell about it.

"Gyah! P-Pinkie!? Help!!!" Pound called out.

"Tickle time, Tickle time, Tickle time, Tickle time!" The girls all chanted in unison as he was dragged over no matter how hard he tried to resist. Ironically Pinkie's song was still playing while Pinkie chanted in the background. He'd been double crossed! He should have known to never trust a pony!

🎵It's true some days are dark and lonely🎵

🎵And maybe you feel sad but Pinkie will be there to show you that it isn't that bad🎵

🎵There's one thing that makes me happy and makes my whole life worth while!🎵

🎵And that's when I get with my friends and begin to smile! SMILE!!!!🎵

"Unhand him fiend!" A valiant voice called from beyond. The song had cut short.

"Who goes there?!" Sunset called looking around.

"Look over there! In that conveniently darkened out part of the store!" Pinkie pointed out with a gasp.

Everyone would look to see three shadowy figures beginning to come forward. One tall, one slightly shorter, one as the shortest.

"We are justice!" Another voice called as a blur sped through and picked up pound and untied him.

"We are the knights!" Another voice, deeper and more serious booming like thunder!

"WE ARE THE-"

"Hi Shiny." Twilight smirked as she saw her brother and a few friends showed up to help Pound out.

"Twily c'mon did ya have to ruin our entrance?!" Shining Armor groaned as he came more into view from the back of the store. Those friends being Thunderlane and his little brother Rumble.

"Guys! What are you doing here?" Pound asked happily as he was lifted up onto Shining Armors shoulders.

"Was in the store picking up a couple things for Flurry's birthday last minute...oh don't gimme that look Twily you know I've been on deployment the last two months." Shining instantly retorted when he saw the glare his little sister was shooting him. He nearly missed Flurry's second birthday because he was deployed and got back almost too late to get her a good present and Twilight had not forgotten or entirely let it go yet.

"Yeah we got back a little earlier than expected this time though so it's all good! Sup Sunset" Thunderlane said to Sunset Shimmer with a smile.

"Hey Thunder. Heya Rumble." Sunset said to the younger of the two, he looked to be about 15 now.

"Sup" Rumble said with smirk as he stood next to his brother. "So you girls think you're cute pickin' on our little homie huh?"

"Cute?" Sunset, Twilight and all the girls looked at each other and then back to the boys and said. "Boys? we're ADORABLE!" They all said in the sassiest but cutest manner possible.

"Oh and by the way?" Twilight said with a devious smirk as she'd been working her magic grip this entire time, gathering up various toy armaments and positioning them around the boys in such a manner that they couldn't escape. Adjusting her glasses in anime fashion a glint would shine off them as she said. "Omaiwa mo Shinderu"

"Nani?!" Thunderlane exclaimed in surprise and then looked around and his eyes shrunk to the size of pinpricks. "Ah crap."

Around the boys they were surrounded by pink and purple dart guns and rubber balls. Twilight grinning like a mad woman as the girls all stuck out their tongues at them and blew a unified raspberry and said.

"P.O.N.Y.'s RULE!" Twilight fired and a hail of pink heart shaped bullets would rain down upon the boys.

"Shield's up!" Thunderlane said with a booming voice and grabbed two large shields off his back that were replicas of the ones that a character had on the show. He was here with his brother today to get props for a cosplay they were doing and the bigger boys section had just what he needed!

The darts hit the shield sticking to it since they were suction darts and then he heard a gang a little girls running towards him at full speed. He chuckled and braced himself as he knew they were certainly about to dogpile him as little kids tended to do to him. Thunderlane was a lovable big lug of a guy and was like a big brother to some kids like Rainbow was a big sister.

"You're up little bro! Go, go, go!" Thunderlane said with a big grin as he blocked the first wave. He was strong but these girls had numbers on their side.

"You got it bro! Heeeey girls! Over here!" Rumble waved to get their attention.

The girls would look in rumbles direction and he grinned at them and pointed a comically large bazooka like toy that had the barrel shaped like a dragon head. Sunset and Twilight gaped at this, Pound's face lit up with glee, the girls all looked somewhat terrified and all Rumble could respond with was a big hearty.

"BOOYAH!" He shouted as he pulled the trigger and the mouth of the cannon would open and it would let out a big rumbling dragon roar. This was a weapon used in the cartoon and in the show when this happened a large energy blast came out. As the lights and sounds went off the more immature girls who didn't know what the toy did cowered in fear but the ones that were at least 10 knew better...well except for Ophelia, she got pretty scared.

"Eeeeeeeek! Dragon!" She tried to run but was stopped by Nix and given a hug. She might not have been able to see it but she could hear it and it sounded really scary and mad! She wasn't as brave as the actual character from the show, after all the character on the show wasn't blind.

"It's okay it's not real. It's just a mean ole boy using a big scary sounding toy." Nix said with a pouty huff and pointed at Rumble. "I'll get you for that!"

He did it again and it scared the little blind girl and Nix growled and ran after him and so did a bunch of the other girls as Rumble laughed and ran about distracting them all and Pinkie Pie joined them. That gave way for Shining to get Pound to Pumpkin and Sunset. Smiling Shining looked at his little sister.

"I do believe that toy you got there belongs to my little buddy here Twily" Shining stated matter a fact like.

"Ooooh you mean this little guy? Come get it!" Twilight dangled the toy in her magical grip smiling deviously.

"Yeah! And my sister too!" Pound exclaimed trying to sound as big and tough as he could.

"Heh oh you mean this little sweetie slice of pumpkin cake here? You want her? You'll have to take her!" Sunset said standing next to Pumpkin who was currently enjoying a lollipop Sunset went off and bought her during all the chaos and commotion for being such a good girl.

"Hiiii Mr.Shiny! Mr. Lane! Hi Rumble!!!" She said to each of the men plus teenager who had come along with a sweet smile as she popped the lollipop from her mouth. She giggled as the other girls chased Rumble about as he laughed and kept having the toy he had make noise.

"Hey there Pumpkin; been a good girl I hope?" Shining smiled coyly at the little girl. He too knew how much of a little sassy troublemaker the 5 year old could be but she was too adorable to stay mad at.

Pumpkin smiled and nodded. "Mmhm!"

"Hm that right? Then why would you sell out your twin brother like that huh?" Shining smirked as he looked at her expression shift.

"But auntie sunny said I could get a new toy if I-"

"Aw what? No fair!" Pound pouted.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk shame on you Sunset. Bribing a child? And here I thought you'd changed" Shining Armor taunted.

Sunset smiled all the while and gave a flip of her hair. "All's fair in love and war. I was gonna buy Pound something too. I'm not mean." Sunset chuckled and saw Pound's face light up with excitement hearing he too would be allowed an extra toy today.

"Heheh alright, alright. I think that's enough fun and games. We still have errands of our own to actually run here Twi." Sunset said finally relenting as she did have a point. They were initially here to pick up toys for Flurry but Sunset didn't mind spending the extra money on Pound and Pumpkin. Among all the Rainbooms she, Rarity & Pinkie spoiled the cake twins the most.

Twilight relented as well dropping her magic power to revert fully back to her normal form with her normal skin tone. After that she floated Pound back his action figure and Sunset used her magic to lift Pumpkin up off the throne in which she sat and she put her on her back. Looking around she saw that Pinkie and the girls had finally captured Rumble and had him pinned down with some of the girls bopping him with fake toys and Pinkie cheering them on.

"Get him girls! Show that mean ole dragon whose boss! P.O.N.Y POWER FOREVER!!!" Pinkie shouted with a gleeful happy smile still plastered on her face as she remained in her pony'ed up magical girl form playing with the kids.

"Hey Pinks! Playtime's over for now. We gotta all finish our errands." Sunset said to Pinkie from behind as she held Pinkie up.

"Awwww and we were just about stuff him in the party cannon. Ah well maybe next time." Pinkie said with a smile as she turned to the girls and smiled apologetically as she reverted back to normal herself. "Sorry girls, we have to stop the fun now. Auntie Pinkie has to do some shopping."

"Awwwwww" the girls said with frowns of disappointment and dejection. They didn't want the fun to be over yet, with school starting back up soon they only had a little summer left and they wanted to spend more time with Pinkie.

Sunset, Twilight, Shining and Pinkie saw this and felt their hearts melt. None of them liked seeing a frown on a child's face if they could help it. But then Shining got an idea, stepping up past Sunset and Pinkie with Pound on his shoulders he announced himself.

"Fear not my little Princess' I your knight shining armor hereby decree that after the shopping is done, if your mommy's and daddy's say yes? Ice cream for everyone! How's that sound?" Shining said with a smile as he heard a round of cheers and yes' from the crowd of kids.

"What do you say girls?" Pinkie said with a smile.

"Thank you Mr. Armor!" All the girls said with a cute curtsy bow that a princess would typically give.

Shining blushed and smiled a bit with a boyish chuckle. "No problem. Now run along and find your parents." Shining said ushering them off to go and find their parents. This toy store section they were in was basically like a closed off play center for the kids where they could come and play around while their parents shopped which was one of the ways Twilight and her friends usually got away with all their antics in such a public space but then again the owner of the store was a fun loving guy anyway.

"Heh dude your wife is gonna kill you." Thunderlane chuckled knowing Shining would probably get an earful from Cadence about this.

"Ah don't sweat it she'll understand once I say I did it to make a group of sad little girls happy. Besides I make more than enough in my new position anyway so I can afford a little extra spending." Shining Armor said with a confident smirk.

"Congrats on landing that captains position by the way Shining. It must've been really hard." Sunset said with a smile congratulating Shining Armor on his recent achievement in becoming captain of the Canterlot City police.

"Thanks Sunset, it was hard but worth the effort. Flash has been coming alone real well in his training at the academy. He really does live up to his name, the boy is fast. Not as fast as Rainbow but out of all the guy's I've trained? No doubt the fastest. He's got a lot of potential." Shining said proudly speaking of his trainee.

"Well if he was going to truly blossom under anyone it was going to be you. Flash has always been a great guy and I'm happy he's doing so well. Him and Moon Dancer are so cute together. I'm glad my hunch was right about her liking him." Sunset giggled as she thought back to when she'd introduced Moon Dancer to her friends and she saw how she looked at Flash the first time she saw him. Her expressions were similar to Twilight and she could tell intrigued was the first expression on her face when she saw Flash Sentry.

"Me too, he works hard to make her happy and I couldn't have asked for a better recruit. To be honest he's probably gonna end up graduating early so who knows? You may see Flash out there with a badge and a gun in the next few months." Shining said with his usual charm and then looked to Twilight. "So you here to get a present for Flurry to huh?"

"Yep." Twilight said.

"P.O.N.Y. plushie?" Shining asked with a smirk.

"Of course, what else am I gonna get her? A book?" Twilight smiled coyly.

"Glad you've finally learned your lesson little sister." Shining laughed as he turned to head out of the play area with Pinkie and the rest behind him.

"Hmph well excuse me for wanting people to read more!" Twilight huffed with a cute little pout. She then felt a kiss upon her cheek and blushed pink when she turned to see Sunset smiling at her.

"You are such a nerd." Sunset giggled and kissed her cheek again.

"Heheeh I know. And you love me for it." Twilight stuck out her tongue at Sunset.

As they left the play area everyone shared a smile and laugh. As the moments passed a store employee came by and saw the play area was a complete mess and he sighed and shrugged saying.

"Eh. I'll let the night guy get it."
