Everyone knows Sunset Shimmer at school. She came on to the scene a few years ago and quickly took over—like, really took over. Through expert manipulation, blackmail, and plain old nastiness, it wasn’t long before she had just about every student at her boots in fear or worship. This all came to a head when in the autumn of her senior year she tried to take over Canterlot High School—like, really take over. As it turns out, Sunset is actually a unicorn from the magical land of Equestria, and she was able to use the crown of one Princess Twilight Sparkle to unlock an incredible magic power. Sure, the power consumed her and she became a beam-shooting demon, but she’s all right now. Twilight and her friends stopped her. Since then she’s even helped save the school twice: once from sirens who fed on negative emotion, and again from a new friend who was corrupted by a similar magic that had taken Sunset over not long ago. Indeed, Sunset Shimmer is now a paragon of friendship and harmony at Canterlot High.

Away from the school, however, not so much.

It’s not like she hid it from anyone. Her life just centered on school so much no one bothered to ask what she did when she went home. “Home” for Sunset was a house just a few streets away from the school. She didn’t exactly acquire it through normal means. When Sunset first came to this world of humans, she knew she would need a place to stay, but apartment leases and home loans don’t come easy to unicorns-turned-young-women, especially when they’re only fourteen or so (this was how old Sunset assumed she appeared based on her comparison to other humans of similar size. It’s why she decided to blend into a high school in the first place. In actuality, she was already a young adult by pony standards). Using her silver tongue, Sunset managed to convince the couple already living in the house she wanted to vacate and allow her to stay there rent free. She did so for her high school career without issue until she was reformed, after which she wholeheartedly apologized to the couple and offered to begin paying rent. The problem was, after they agreed, Sunset realized she did not have the income to provide this.

She had never needed income before. She was lucky enough to have a vegetable garden and a single apple tree in her backyard that she maintained for food, and she had swindled the couple into providing everything else like utilities, a cell phone, and even internet service for her for the past four years. Getting a part time job was out of the question. How could she possibly explain who she was, or rather what she was to any potential employers? Not everyone is as accepting or lenient as the people at Canterlot High. She had no idea where to get the money to pay for everything she had—until a few passing comments and some web research gave her a solution.

Ever since she came to Canterlot High, Sunset had been told she was pretty. She used this to climb to the top during her reign, but even after she became “nice Sunset” other students, including her friends, would still let her know what a looker she was. She thought it was just niceties, though. It’s the kind of stuff you say when you either really like or really fear someone, something she’s been on both sides of. She never took it to heart, though.

While looking for a way to pay for rent, Sunset stumbled upon an article listing things people did to make money over the internet, and one in particular caught her eye. Some people, she read, put themselves on webcams while interested patrons actually pay to just see them. Well, not just see them. Usually they had to… perform. The naked kind of performance.

Now, Sunset wasn’t a stranger to being naked. She spent most of her life with no clothes, so being seen without them no matter what her current species never bothered her. She was, however, new to sensualizing her body for the enjoyment of others. But no one would know where she was, right? And, if she wore a mask or didn’t show her face, no one would know who she was. So, Sunset researched on the internet how to build a website and set up her own webcam streaming system. Once she set up a paywall she was ready to reveal her goods to the masses.

For her first show Sunset decided to begin in just her bra and panties. Looking in the mirror before she switched on her stream, she finally got an idea of how attractive of a human she really was. Even after all this time human aesthetic tastes were still quite a bit different from the pony ones she knew, and as such she didn’t really have an idea of what “hot” was, but if any of her conversations with her friend Rarity were any indication, Sunset had it going on. She had long legs that led up to wide hips and a pert, shapely butt that looked just as good in her favorite jeans as they did out. Her torso, elegantly curvy and leanly toned from playing the guitar. Her breasts were ample; certainly enough to present in a low-cut top but neither a physical strain nor an eyesore in the least. All her features were wrapped in her wonderfully smooth amber-orange skin.

Now she knew that when guys and girls turned to get another look at her when she walked past in the hallways, they were not admiring her hair. Well, they probably were, but there were a lot of other assets to take note of as well. Truly she was, as Rarity put it, “the sexiest thing to grace Canterlot High, and possibly the world.” While “the world” may have been a bit of a stretch, Sunset indulged herself in a little vanity, taking the first critical look at herself since she arrived in this dimension four years ago, only this time trying out poses in a mirror rather than scientifically prodding herself all over.

And her first show was a dismal failure. In reading that women presented themselves on webcam scantily clad—or not clad at all—she forgot to look into how they did it. She thought she was doing sexy poses for the webcam, but as the viewer count quickly declined, she knew that clearly she was doing something wrong. She could research more, but for things like this Sunset was more of a learn-by-doing student. She needed professional help.

She needed Rarity.

Author's Note

Welcome to my second mature story. In the same vein of "Out of Nowhere" this is going to be a short "funny-dirty" story, where there's some sexy stuff but also quite a bit of comedy... which is honestly pretty sparse this chapter.
Expect that to pick up next chapter when Sunset reveals to Rarity what she's up to and shenanigans ensue.

Also, I guess I should point out that all the characters are at least 18. As per my headcanon (which I'm pretty sure admins don't care about), Sunset Shimmer is actually probably in her early to mid 20s, but looks young enough to blend in Canterlot High for four years.
