The green led lights of the microwave counted down from 3...2...1 beeep! Went the timer, Flash Sentry popped the latch holding the door open and was greeted by a blast of hot microwaved steam, he waved his hands in front of him to clear the stream away as he took the hot mugs from the microwave. He placed the mugs of hot milk on the counter before calling. "Hey Sunset?! How do you like your hot cocoa?!" As he reached for the canister of cocoa powder.

"With marshmallows and cinnamon Flash!" She called back from the living room. Flash reached back into the cabinet for the cinnamon and bag of mini marshmallows, he measured out the amount of powder and stired it until he had two rich creamy mugs. Flash placed them on a festive tray, the front side covered with a Currier and Ives lithographic design of ice skaters on a frozen pond. The living room was quiet and slightly dark in the late afternoon, the last of sun light casting a glow on the mantle, as even the TV sat silent. There was always something almost mystical about this time of day.

"Hey there you are! Sunset said as she sat back on the couch in her all to famillar purple pajamas. Flash smiled at her as he placed the tray on the table and she smiled back.

"Hey babe," Flash said kissing her cheek maling her blush softly. "You enjoying yourself so far?"

"I'm always enjoying myself when I'm with you Flash." She said as she ran a hand through his electric blue hair. Flash retorted by stroking her own mustard and ketchup colored hair. She cooed softly as he scratched her hair, maybe it was her roots as a pony, but it made her want to just let her "Equestria girl" side out, her wings, horn and tail amd maybe use some of her magic, it was always treat to do so.

"Can I light the fire flash?"she asked as her hand began to glow softly.

"Heh, doing the fire mage thing to do it eh?" He said getting up to place a fresh miracle log in the grate.

"Is it alright if I do?" She asked as her mahic began to conjure a few tiny flames in the tips of her hands without even singeing her hands as it was her own conjuration of magic fire.

"Just don't burn the carpet...or my house okay?" Flash said as he was amazed by her control over the flames. Sunset focused all her energy into the flames as she sent them flying from the tips to the log in the grate. The flames erupted in miniature fire balls and burst, making the log crackle and split as the fire glowed and blazed, sending warm heat over them both.

"Heh magic fingers." She said before blowing on her hands and sitting back on the couch in the warmth of the blaze.

"Hey Sunset?" Flash asked as he joined her taking a sip from his mug.

"Hmmm?" Sunset replied taking a drink of her own warm, rich hot cocoa.

"What made you want to stay with me when I asked if we could get back together?" He asked gazing hypnoticly into the crackling log.

"The good times we had together for one, the fact that I really liked you a lot when we were together for another." She said leaning her head on his shoulder as she sipped her's making him wrap an arm around her waist. "I broke it off at the time because...well given my old motivation...I thought our relationship would make me...well when I didn't want to change." She giggled nervously.

"Right...don't like talking about those days...sorry."

"Eh it's old news at this ponit flash, the lives of our friends all well and dandy, and that's all that matters." She said cuddling him closer.

"Hey you know that also reminds me...why are we still in school if its been like..." Sunset placed a finger to his lips and giggled again.

"Flash, while I know the answer to that question...and trust me it's for a good reason, big cosmic balance and maintaining order in a greater universal scale, but if I told you...my orders from a being more powerful even than Princess Celestia herself...would make it so that I'd have to kill you." She said with a serious look on her face, making Flash's eyes wide with panic. "Heh, just fucking with you Flash, but I would have to wipe away your mind of the details though."

"Sorry I asked." He said giggling in half amusment half fear.

"Hey a little dark humor could do some folks good...but sorry if I scared you." They cuddled in slience by the warm fire for hours, the mugs of cocoa polished off quickly. Flashe held her close in his loving embrace as she clung to him with a desire to just...lay there forever. "Hey Flash?" Sunset asked finally breaking the silence.

"Yeah babe?" He asked kissing her cheek tenderly.

"You wanna do something only unicorns in Equesteia usually do?" She asked as a long horn slowly emerged from her head, along with her soft (not armoured) wings and long, fiery tail.

"What's that?" Flash asked not phased at seeing his girlfriend shapeshift the way she did. She didn't answer, only tapping his head with her horn, Flash felt even warmer than ever as he saw a series of lights and colors like the spots you saw when a camera flash went off in your face. The sensation making every muscle in his body give out, even his toe and foot muscles. Intimate, couldn't even begin to describe the sensation as it surged through him, When his vision returned Sunset was cooing and cuddling him like a kitten. "What the hell just happened?" He said dreamily.

"I...shared my thoughts with you...and a few other things...unicorn intimacy secrets too." She said blushing hard. Flash only kissed her on the lips softly as her felt her equine tail wrap around his waist like a belt.

"Sunset?....Baby you're the best." He said as he gently stroked her glowing horn.

"Was that a honeymooners reference Flash and?" She asked giggling and nuzzling his shoulder.

"Nobody does it better actually, Carly Simon."

"Oh...sily me."
