Chapter: Two.

Today was the day of the commercial shoot. Fluttershy was nervous. She was sweating like crazy. Her stomach was in knots, her throat felt really dry; chills ran down her sine and legs, she was a mess.

“Oh, today’s the day of the commercial” she moaned, “Too late for me to back-out. I have to pull through it!” She continued, “I said I’d do, even if it kills me!”

Fluttershy uttered that fraise and gulped. “Why did I say that” she thought to herself. It was a cloudy Saturday morning. The commercial shoot was in 3 hours. There was no time to loose. As the family, downstairs, got things ready to head out, Fluttershy tried to fix herself up. Tried not to look so nervous. She took a deep breathe in as she looked at herself in the mirror, and breathed out. She then proceeded to brushing her messy hair.

Once she was ready she headed downstairs with the rest of her family. Everything was now set and ready. The family headed outside to the limousine, which was waiting to take them to the convention hall, where the commercial was going to be filmed.

That’s right. Unlike the old church at town square, the commercial was going to be filmed at Canterlot Convention Hall, uptown. It was a pretty large building. It was about the size of a football field, and had 3 floors. Fluttershy was nervous. As they were driving uptown, she began to breathe heavily.

“You’ll be fine” she said to herself. “Do it for mommy. Do it for daddy. Do it for Dash.” She continued, “Do it…for Lunar Luna.”

“You can do it Fluttershy! I hast faith in thee!”

“I’ll do it for you…Lunar Luna.”

“You say something honey?” asked Rarity.

“W-What? Oh N-No. It was nothing” replied Fluttershy, awkwardly giggling. She scratched her head and turned away, biting her lip in anxiousness. She was starting to lose it. Heavens only knows how this shoot may end up.

They finally arrived at the convention hall. The commercial was being filmed in Ballroom 10-B, on the 2nd floor. The room was packed with cameramen, boom operators, screen directors, and actors. Fluttershy became concerned. What if she messed up? She couldn’t bear take it if she’d mess up another commercial shoot.

“Looks like everyone is here” said Fancy Pants.

“Places people!” shouted the director, “We film in 40 minutes!”

“Whoa, better get to work then” declared Fancy Pants. “Twi, mind showing Fluttershy to her dressing room?” he asked.

“Not at all sir!” replied Twilight.

Twilight escorted Fluttershy to the dressing room. Luckily it was outside of room. Down the hallway and to the left 2 doors down was a door with the words, Conference Room 4-B, labeled on it. Fluttershy looked to Twilight with confusion.

“They didn’t have any privet dressing rooms, so we borrowed one of the conference rooms” replied Twilight.

“Oh, I see” responded Fluttershy with slight smile.

Twilight slowly opened the door and walked in, with Fluttershy following behind her. Fluttershy looked around the conference room. It didn’t really look like a conference room. It was almost empty. There were no chairs, and it was full of coat racks with various suits on them. There was also a full length mirror on the far right corner, a stylist’s chair, and the table was stacked with make-up kits, hair products, combs, and scissors.

“What is all this stuff?” asked Fluttershy.

“You’ll see” replied Twilight.

“Oh good, you’re here” said a voice behind them.

Fluttershy and Twilight turned around and saw two twin looking women staring at them. One had was dressed in a pink stylist’s uniform, while the other was dressed in a blue one. The both wore white hair bands, and white collar necklaces with pink flowers on them.

“Ah, good. Right on time” said Twilight. “Fluttershy, these are Lotus and Aloe. They are world renowned stylist who’ll be working with you today.”

“Pleasure to meet you madam” said Aloe.

“We are ready to make you look fabulous!” cheered Lotus.

“What do you mean?” Fluttershy asked.

“They’ll be helping you look more like a boy” replied Twilight.

“Wait? What! How!?” cried Fluttershy.

“Well, they’ll start by trying on various tuxedos on, use their make-up skills to give a bit of more male complexion: acne, hair fuzz on your lip, chin, and maybe cut your hair.”

Fluttershy was not impressed when she heard “cut her hair”. She liked having long hair. There was no way she was letting them cut it. “No way!” Fluttershy exclaimed, “I am not letting them cut my hair.

“But Fluttershy, it’s only a quick snip her and a snip…”

“No, Twilight! No snip here, no snip there!”

“Oh, no need to worry Ms. Fluttershy. We’ll be soft and gentle” assured Aloe.

“I’m sorry, but I’m letting you cut my hair” replied Fluttershy.

“We’ll too bad Fluttershy” replied Twilight, “You’re getting your hair cut!”

“But Twilight!” Fluttershy whined.

“What do you care anyway!? It’ll probably grow back in like 6 weeks!” Twilight stated. “Besides, it’s only up to your shoulder.”

Fluttershy took a deep breathe in, and slowly breathed out. She then looked at Twilight, face to face, and softly spoke out. “Okay.” Twilight smiled turned to Lotus and Aloe.

“I’ll be back in 30 minutes. Be careful with her” she instructed.

“Yes ma’am. We’ll be very gentle with her” replied the two of them together.

Twilight stepped out of the room and headed back to ballroom 10-B. Lotus and Aloe slowly closed the door behind them. Lotus went over to browse through the outfits while Aloe nicely escorted Fluttershy to the stylist’s chair on the far right corner near the full length mirror. She sat her down gently and wrapped a salon cape around her neck.

“You nervous?” asked Aloe.

“Very” replied Fluttershy.

“Don’t worry, sweetie, we’ll be really gentle with you” assured Aloe.

“Just trust us,” said Lotus as she approached Fluttershy; with a suit at hand she held it over to see how it look on her, “we won’t bite.”

“We’ll be REALLY gentle with you” she continued.

With an amorous look in her eyes, Aloe slowly leaned in closer to Fluttershy and whispered in her ear, “Yes, now sit back, and we’ll have you looking and feeling like never before.”

Fluttershy stared into a daze with horror in her eyes. “Uuuhh…I don’t like where this is going” she muttered.

Meanwhile, back at the room, Twilight was reviewing the script and the story boards for the commercial as Fancy Pants continued to manage the production. Showtime was in 10 minutes. Everything had to be perfect. Twilight finished reading the scripts and smiled. “Perfect” she thought to herself, “This should work out smoothly.”

Fancy Pants approached Twilight with a nervous look in his eye. “Hey, Twilight, is the talent here yet?” he asked.

“Not yet sir” replied Twilight.

“Oh man! I hope he gets here soon.”

“Relax sir, he’ll be here. Besides, I know you’ll do great on this!” assured Twilight.

“I know I will Twi. I’m mainly worried about Fluttershy” continued Fancy Pants. “I hope she’ll be fine. She’s had a fear of preforming ever since…”

“Ever since what?” Twilight asked.

“Oh, um, n-never mind that. Just check on her for me will you?” asked Fancy Pants.

“Will do sir” replied Twilight.

Twilight returned to conference room 4-B. She slowly opened the door walked in. “Fluttershy!” she called out. As she slowly looked ahead, Twilight was became shocked with awe. She has never seen Fluttershy with short hair before. She looked very cute. Short and scruffy, combed to the right side, and back. She was also dressed in a white tuxedo suit, which was semi tight and sliming. And it had padded shoulders, which made her appear brawn. She also had white slacks, and dress shoes, and a pink tie, to balance out the white. Twilight couldn’t. She was in awe.

“Well!? What do you think!?” asked Lotus and Aloe.

“I…I…I…I…” stuttered Twilight.

“I know, it’s bad” said Fluttershy.

“It’s…It’s…”

“Horrible? An Atrocity? A Disgrace?”

“PERFECT!” exclaimed Twilight with a twinkle in her eye.

“What?”

“You look beautiful Fluttershy. My, if only mother and father could see you now” said Twilight.

“S-Stop it…” replied Fluttershy, “It’s embarrassing.”

Twilight reached out to hug Fluttershy, only for her to step back, causing her to fall face first to the floor. Fluttershy and the hair dressers quickly ran to help Twilight up.

“Are you alright?” asked Lotus.

“I’m Alright” replied Twilight. “You girls really out did yourselves” she added.

“Thank you ma’am” said Aloe.

“It wasn’t easy,” said Lotus, “her hair was really long and messy. And we really had a hard time finding and tuxedo that didn’t fit her too big.”

“Well then, let’s get going. How time is in 8 minutes.” Instructed Twilight.

At that point, a knock was at the door. Twilight slowly turned towards, eyeballing it with confusion. “Weird. Who could that be?” wondered Twilight. She walked over to answer it. She slowly opened the door. Standing there was a young girl. Dressed in a white room gown and silver tiara. Her hair was red and yellow, tied in a ponytail, and she wore pink lipstick and red eyeshadow. In her hand she held a red rose.

“Umm, Hi” said the girl.

“Umm, hello” replied Twilight. “Can I help you?” she added.

“Yes. I’m looking for someone” she said, tightly gripping the rose in her hand.

“Oh, and who may that be?” asked Twilight.

“Well, he’s…”

Before the girl could finish, her eyes caught a glimpse inside. There HE was. The tall and handsome boy she remembered from 10 years ago. That’s right. That blushing bride was Sunset Shimmer. She slowly moved Twilight aside and stared at Fluttershy. Her eyes were in a daze. She slowly approached her pink haired prince.

“It’s you” she said. “I can’t believe it. You actually came.” Her eyes slowly began to tear. She smiled slowly as a teardrop fell from her eyes and down her cheeks. “You’re just as I remembered you” she added.

“Uh…” muttered Fluttershy.

“H-Here…I, uh…T-This is for you” stuttered Sunset as she slowly handed Fluttershy the rose in her hand.

“Uh…” muttered Fluttershy, as her cheeks turned red with embarrassment. She slowly closed her eyes and took the flower from Sunset’s hand.

“I…I want to, t-thank you. For coming” said Sunset. “I’m glad to finally see you again.”

Sunset slowly leaned forward and gave Fluttershy a quick hug. Though it lasted only 2 seconds, it felt like 2 hours to Fluttershy. She was completely red. Her face was red hot, steaming in utter humiliation. “OH MY GOD” she thought to herself, “SHE HUGGED ME! SHE GAVE ME A ROSE! SHE TOTALLY THINKS I’M A GUY!!”

Fluttershy stood in a daze as Sunset slowly pulled away, smiled at her and left the conference room. Twilight stared at Fluttershy, waving her hand over her. “Fluttershy?” she called out. She did not respond.

“Oh, how adorable!” cried Lotus.

“Aww, she has an admirer!” exclaimed Aloe.

Twilight shook her head. She grabbed Fluttershy by the arm and dragged her out of the room. “Thanks for your help!” she said to Aloe and Lotus as she walked out.

“You’re welcome!” they said together.

Back in Ballroom 10-B, everyone was in place. All the actors and extras were in position. All the cameras were ready. Fluttershy nervously awaited by the altar. Even though this was a fake wedding, she was nervous. She couldn’t go through with this.

Sitting in the audience was her mother and mother. They were so happy to finally see Fluttershy up on stage, preforming. They were so eager to see her acting.

“I can’t believe it’s finally here” said Fancy Pants. “The day our daughter makes her debut into the commercial business.”

“OH, THIS IS SO EXCITING!” squealed Rarity, “I can’t believe I’m actually working with, Ms. Sunset SHIMMER~!!!!”

“Whoa, Rarity, darling, mind toning it down? People are staring at us” stated Fancy Pants.

“Oops, sorry” said Rarity with a blush.

Twilight nervously stared from the entrance of Ballroom 10-B. She saw Fluttershy by the altar. She could see the nervousness in her eyes. Twilight became worried about her. “Come on Fluttershy” she whispered to herself. “Do it for your mother and father.”

Fluttershy nervously waited around, looking at everyone in the audience. The fact that they were so many made her even more nervous. Her knees began shaking. Sweat fell from her face. She was breathing heavily, pinching her stomach in pain.

Outside of the Ballroom, Sunset was ready. She waited by the entrance of the ballroom. Meanwhile Twilight carefully looked at the script and storyboards.

“Let’s see,” she said to herself, “Bride slowly walks in once the music plays. Groom smiles as she sees her. Bride runs to groom happily. Groom picks her up and twirls her around playfully.” Twilight stopped reading. “Oh. This might be a problem.”

Meanwhile, Sunset was thinking to herself. “I can’t wait. I can’t wait! I can’t believe I’m working with him again!” She was smiling and jumping with joy. In just 2 minutes, she was going to be staring in a wedding commercial with the “Boy” she loves.

“PLACES!” shouted the director.

“It’s starting!” squealed Rarity.

“Oh no…” Fluttershy muttered.

“Oh, it’s starting,” said Sunset, “better get into place.”

“Oh, I hope Fluttershy will be okay” thought Twilight.

The commercial was rolling. All lights were slightly dimmed. All cameras focused on the entrance of the ballroom. Everyone in the audience was silent. Fluttershy was at full level anxiety. She feared for the worst.

“Alright every one!” instructed the director, “The music will play, and the brides walk in. Groom and bride will look at each other and smile. Then the bride will happily run to the groom, the groom will pick her up and twirl her playfully! QUIET ON THE SEEEEET!!!”

“Wedding Commercial scene 1, Take 1!”

“ACTION!” shouted the director.

The music began to play. Fluttershy took a deep breathe in and stood up straight. “I can do this” she thought to herself. “I can do this.” As the music continued, Sunset slowly walked inside the entrance of the ballroom. Her eyes closed and her head bent, she slowly looked up ahead to the altar to see her pink haired prince. She slowly smiled. Fluttershy nervously and slowly smiled back. The audience was in awe.

Sunset happily began running towards Fluttershy. “Good” whispered the director, “Good. Just like in script.” Fluttershy slowly held out her arms to pick up Sunset. However, she failed to remember that she wasn’t the strongest person in the world.

As Sunset softly leaped into her arms, Fluttershy immediately fell down to the floor, dragging Sunset with her. The audience was shocked. The music immediately stopped playing. The director was less than happy.

“CUUUUT!”

“Oh no” said Fancy Pants.

Sunset slowly picked herself up from the floor. Kneeling next to Fluttershy, she slowly looked over her with a worried face. “Are you okay?” she asked, holding out her hand offering to help her up.

Fluttershy closed her eyes and smacked Sunset’s hand out of the way. She quickly got up herself and ran as fast as she could out the door. Her face buried into her left arm as she began to burst out in tears. The horrible flashbacks of 10 years ago began to haunt her again.

She ran outside into the hallway, knelt on the floor and began sobbing loudly. She couldn’t believe it. She was doing it again. She was ruining the commercial shoot. Just as she did those 10 years ago.

“I did it again!” she cried. “I can’t believe I did it again!!”

Voices played in her head. Haunting reminders of her humiliating event back then.

“EW, HE PEEDED HIMSELF!”

“IN COSTUME!”

“CUUUUT!!”

“Why does this always happen!” she cried. “Why me! Why me!”

As Fluttershy stood there crying, she felt a gentle touch on her right shoulder. And a soft voice behind her. “Here” said the voice. Fluttershy slowly looked back. It was Sunset. In her hand she held a small dark blue crystal marble. Fluttershy slowly stood up and wiped the tears from her face. “Would you like to use it again?” asked Sunset.

“W-What?” asked Fluttershy nervously.

“My Marble,” replied Fluttershy, “Would you like to use it again.”

“Again?” she muttered.

“D-Don’t you remember?” she asked. “That 10 years ago, when we first met.”

Fluttershy never liked talking about that day. But then she began to remember. She didn’t ruin the commercial. The company was able to finish it in the end. But how? Fluttershy thought back to that day:

It was a sunny day at the old church in town square. The cameras were rolling. Fluttershy remembered all the things she did wrong. First she failed to help Sunset catch the bouquet, 3 times. She also sneezed when on Sunset while she was escorting her. Then, then moment of truth: When Sunset gave her a kiss on her cheek, she peed in her pants.

5 mistakes in one day. It took 17 takes just to shoot scene 1. The producers, and actors were furious. They were only supposed to be here for 2 hours. But because of Fluttershy, they had to stay overtime. They were behind schedule. Sunset saw Fluttershy crying, holding on to her mother tightly. She was really sad about what had happened.

“I DON’T WANT TO BE IN THE COMMERCIAL ANYMORE!!” she shouted.

“But Fluttershy…”

“WUAAAAAHH!!”

“Oh dear” said Rarity.

“Well this is a disaster!” exclaimed Fancy Pants.

As Fluttershy pulled away to wipe her tears, Sunset approached her. She reached into the pocket of her summer dress and pulled out a marble. She lightly tapped Fluttershy on the arm. Fluttershy jolted as she felt Sunsets arms tap her.

“Hey” said Sunset. “Would you like to try using this?”

Fluttershy slowly wiped away the tears from her cheeks and slowly approached Sunset.

“It’s a good luck marble” she said. “Just hold it really tight, and say, “Go Away Fears”, and it’ll make all your fears go away” she continued.

Fluttershy slowly hold the marble in her hand. She closed her eyes and took a deep breathe, and said to herself, “Go away fears.”

She repeated this phrase 4 times. And to her surprise, it worked. She no longer felt scared. She thank Sunset and gave her hug. Sunset slowly blushed as Fluttershy hugged her. To her liking, she hugged Fluttershy back.

“That’s Right” said Fluttershy. “I remember.”

Sunset reached out and held Fluttershy’s hand. She softly placed the marble on Fluttershy palm, and closed her hand into fist. Fluttershy slowly held her hand over her face and unclenched it. Right on her palm was Sunset’s marble. Clenching her hand into a fist again, she took a deep breathe in, and began saying:

“Go away fears. Go away fears. Go away fears. Go away fears.”

“Feeling better?” asked Sunset.

“Yes” she said softly. “Thank you.”

Fluttershy hugged Sunset. Sunset smiled and hugged Fluttershy back. Just like they did 10 years ago. At this point Twilight found them. She was not happy. “Fluttershy!” she exclaimed.

“Wait Twilight!” she exclaimed. “I’m better now!”

“You better be!” she demanded.

[1 quick make-up refresher later…]

The commercial was rolling, again. All lights were slightly dimmed, again. All cameras focused on the entrance of the ballroom. Everyone in the audience was silent. Fluttershy, this time, was determined to do her best. This time, since she wasn’t that strong, the twirling scene was changed. Instead, they would just hug each other.

“Wedding Commercial scene 1, Take 2!”

“ACTION!!!!”

The music began to play. Fluttershy took a deep breathe in and stood up straight. “I’m ready” she thought to herself. As the music continued, Sunset slowly walked inside the entrance of the ballroom. Her eyes closed and her head bent, she slowly looked up ahead to the altar to see Fluttershy. She slowly smiled. Fluttershy smiled back, widely and with joy in her eyes.

Sunset happily began running towards Fluttershy. Fluttershy held out her arms as Sunset ran towards her, and caught her. The two span around as they held each other in their arms. Sunset was so happy. She was so moved to finally be with her prince charming.

Fluttershy was a bit embarrassed. But she wasn’t worried. After all, it was just acting. After they hugged, they slowly held each other’s arms and stared at one another’s eyes. Sunset was smiling happily. There was a sparkle in her eye. Fluttershy was nervously blushing. From the entrance of the ballroom Twilight was staring.

“Good” she whispered. “She’s doing great.”

Sunset’s eyes slowly turned from ecstatic to amorous, as she slowly giggled at Sunset.

Fluttershy giggled nervously. “Wow” she thought to herself, “Sunset is really good.” She continued, “I don’t ever think I’ve seen acting this good before.”

“Alright Fluttershy!” cheered Twilight softly, “Oh boy, nothing can ruin this now!”

As Twilight said that, she overheard two crew members talking. In their hand they held a storyboard.

“Are you sure he can do it?” asked one of the crew members.

“Yeah, I mean, he wouldn’t have accepted this job if he couldn’t” said the other.

Twilight was confused. “Do what?” she thought. She slowly approached the crew members, and looked at the storyboards they had in their hands. But it was different from her own. Her board had 10 panels. This one had 12. And at the very last panel, she was horrified. It read: “The Bride and Groom Kiss.” And right on the panel was an illustration of the two kissing. Twilight was shocked.

“WHAT! When was this change made!?” she asked angrily.

“Just now!” said the crew members.

“Oh no!” exclaimed Twilight.

Back at the altar, Fluttershy and Sunset continued to stare at each other. Fluttershy was a little bit worried now. “Why is she staring at me like that?” she thought, “Do I have something in my teeth?” Sunset slowly closed her eyes, and leaned in forward at Fluttershy.
“What’s going on!?” Fluttershy thought to herself, nervously. “Why is she coming closer?”
Fluttershy became shocked. “Oh no…is…Is she going to try and…”

Twilight quickly ran into the ballroom at full speed. She was attempting to stop the kissing scene. But when she ran inside, it was too late. Twilight looked in horror as Sunset and Fluttershy were kissing. The audience was in awe. Fancy Pants and Rarity, on the other hand, were just as shocked as Twilight was. Twilight nervously shield her eyes, and walked out of the room. This was only going to end so well…

This took a bit longer than I thought. But at least I finished it.

Chapter: Four.

Author's Note

Here's the next chapter of Lights. Camera. Romance. Hope you all like it.
Although in my opinion, I think I could've done it better.

Chapter: Four.

“Huh? What? Where? W-Where am I?”

Fluttershy awoke to find herself alone in a field of grass. It was all empty, nothing but endless grass and grass pods. Fluttershy slowly began walking forward. She looked around her surrounding trying to find anyone who can tell her where she was. She was confused. Where was she, and how did she get there?

Suddenly, a voice behind her called out, “Fluttershy!” The pink haired girl slowly turned around as the feeling of nervousness crept up inside her. She was glad she found someone, but who was she and how did she know her name. “Fluttershy!” she called out. A distant figure in the fields by the horizon. Fluttershy slowly began to approach the woman and she too made her way towards her. As the figure became clearer, Fluttershy immediately recognized her. It was Sunset Shimmer.

“Oh NO” though Fluttershy. “Why is she here? What does she want with me?” Fluttershy nervously hoped for the worst, but just then, Sunset ran up to Fluttershy and gave her a big hug.

“Oh Fluttershy!” she exclaimed, “I’m so glad I found you, my true love!”

“True Love?” Did Fluttershy hear that correctly? “I thought you wanted nothing to do with me” she replied. Sunset giggled and kissed Fluttershy on the forehead.

“Oh Fluttershy,” she continued, “Why would I say that. You know I love, and I would never hurt you, sweetheart.”

“Really?” she asked.

Sunset slowly placed her finger upon Fluttershy’s lip and shushed her softly. She stared deeply into her eyes with a smile. “Shh, don’t talk” she said, “Just savor the moment.” Fluttershy blushed. Using her fingers, Sunset combed Fluttershy’s hair out of the way. She slowly leaned in for a kiss. Fluttershy felt her heart beating as Sunset’s lips slowly…

“AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! WHAT! WHERE! HUH!?”

Sunset awoke to find herself on the floor of her bedroom. She had rolled off her bed again, after having another Fluttershy induced nightmare. “What the hell is going on!” she cried. “Why do I keep dreaming about this?!” She angrily got up from the floor and began to pace the room. Ever since the commercial shoot, she couldn’t stop thinking about that Fluttershy girl.

“How can it be!” she ranted. “I have absolutely no feelings for her! She’s a GIRL! I’M A GIRL! I CAN’T HAVE FEELING FOR HER!!!” She groaned as she buried her face into her pillow. This has been going for 3 days already. Sunset knew this was a problem. She still had deeply suppressed feelings for her crush, even after painfully discovering he was a she. But one way or another, she was determined to get over them. Whatever it took.

It was 9:42. Fluttershy was late for school. In fact, she wasn’t getting ready for school at all. In all her years, Fluttershy has never missed a day of school in her entire life. She had a very strict schedule: Wake-up, Bath, Dress, Breakfast, School, Club, go Home to watch Lunar Luna; Sleep. Wake-up, Bath, Dress, Breakfast, School, Club, go Home to watch Lunar Luna; Sleep! That has been her entire schedule since middle school. But todays was different. She was still feeling regret and shame over the commercial. She had missed 3 days of school. For the first time ever. Her perfect attendance record, soiled.

“Fluttershy!” shouted Twilight from outside, knocking hard on her door. “Fluttershy, get up! You’re late, and I refuse to let you miss any more days of school!!” she exclaimed. She loudly began to bang on the door. She just kept on knocking and banging, hoping she’d snap out of it and move on. “Fluttershy, can you hear me in there!?” she asked.

“Don’t bother” said Rainbow as she walked down the hallway, “She’s never coming out of her room.”

“Well it was YOUR FAULT in the first place!!” shouted Twilight.

Twilight continued to loudly bang on Fluttershy’s door. “This is not a joke Fluttershy! Come one!” There was no response. Twilight rolled her eyes. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a door pick. “Fluttershy,” she said, “I’m going to count to 3. And when I finish, I’m unlocking your door and coming in okay.”

Still no response. All was quiet. Twilight shook her head. “Very well Fluttershy.” She gripped the door knob and carefully with her other hand, inserted the pick into the door knob’s hole. “Okay Fluttershy, 1…” No answer. “2…” All was still quiet. Twilight shook her head. “3!”

She pressed inward on the pick. “Click”. The door was open. Twilight violently opened the door widely and walked inside. There was Fluttershy. Sitting on her bead upright, wrapped in her bed sheets, staring at a daze. “Well isn’t THIS a beautiful sight!” Twilight sarcastically stated. Fluttershy didn’t say a word. She didn’t even move. “Fluttershy, you are not missing another day of school, young lady!” Twilight scolded.

Fluttershy remained silent. She continued to stare into a daze, noting making any eye contact with anything but her Lunar Luna poster. Twilight slapped her forehead. “Okay Fluttershy, you are being melodramatic!” Twilight slowly approached Fluttershy and tried to make eye contact with her, but she turned her face away, every time Twilight tried to look at her.

“Fluttershy!” grunted Twilight. She crossed her arms and stood there in front of her. Tapping her foot vigorously. Fluttershy eventually sighed and slowly turned her head to make eye contact with Twilight. “There, was that so hard” she asked. Fluttershy didn’t respond.

Twilight shook her head. She slowly leaned in closer towards her and slowly sniffed her head. It was less than pleasant. “Fluttershy, when was the last time you washed your hair?” asked Twilight. Fluttershy still didn’t respond. She slowly lowered her head and stared at the floor. “Take a shower at least!!” she demanded.

Fluttershy still didn’t say a word. She didn’t move. Twilight was wonder if she was even breathing at all. “THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!” Twilight boomed out in frustration. She grabbed Fluttershy by the ears and dragged her out of her room and into the bathroom. “Come on, Fluttershy!” demanded Twilight. Fluttershy didn’t answer. She just stood there by the sink. Twilight was furious. This was not like Fluttershy at all. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" she scolded, "ARE YOU DEAF!?"

Fluttershy still did not answer. Twilight was becoming frustrated, but she knew anger wasn't the way to get through to Fluttershy. She slowly took a deep breathe in and slowly exhaled. She slowly sat next to Fluttershy and placed her hand on her head, gently stroking it. "Hey," she said softly, "are you going to tell me what's bugging you?" she asked. Fluttershy still not saying a word shook her head slowly. "Very well," said Twilight, "You can stay home again. But tomorrow is no exception. Okay?"

Fluttershy slowly nodded. Twilight smiled. "Good," she delighted, "Glad we found and understanding. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go wash your hair filth out of my hand. Twilight got up and headed out Fluttershy room. Fluttershy herself, still hiding under her covers, finally spoke.

"Why did this have to happen to me?" she whispered to herself.

Meanwhile, Sunset was getting ready for a film shoot. She was guest staring on a TV crime drama called, Canterlot P.I. Sunset was playing the role of the tough girl, loose cannon detective named "Cora Fire Flame" (don't judge, my 9 years old sister helped me come up with that).

Sunset was ready on set ready to act. After those 3 days earlier, she really needed a distraction. Hopefully, playing Cora Fire Flame would provide her that distraction. Sunset and her manager arrived on set of Canterlot P.I. Everyone immediately stopped and stared in awe, as Sunset walked down. "Sunset is on set!!" shouted one of the producers, "repeat, Sunset is on set!!"

The director approached Sunset and smiled. He was really ecstatic. "Ah, Ms. Shimmer, I am so glad you made it!" he exclaimed, shaking her hand vigorously.

"Oh, happy to be her Mr. Director" she replied awkwardly.

"Oh, I'm sorry" said the Director. "I'm just a HUGE fan of your work."

A man and a small boy approached Sunset. They were both just as excited as the director was. "Ms. Sunset" the man began, "I'm Blue Moon, and this is my son Crescent" he announced. "We are your Co-Stars for this scene. My son is a big fan, and we're so exited to work with you" he continued.

Sunset smiled. "Oh no, the pleasure is all mine, really."

"I'm Crescent," said the little, "I'm so excited to meet you."

Crescent smiled. Sunset looked at the little boy and gasped. That smile. That expression reminded her of..."NO!" she thought to herself. She wasn't going to let You Know Who, ruin this for her. "Nice to meet you Crescent. I'm glad to be working with you." replied Sunset.

"PLACES PEOPLE!!" shouted the director, "WE SHOOT IN 5!" Everyone took their places. The producer walked up to Sunset and explained to her the script.

"Okay Sunset," instructed the producer, "Now in this scene, you'll be tailing a suspect who you think may be the murderer. You follow him home where you discover his little boy. They have a moment together which gets to you, that you conclude he can't be the killer, and you walk away."

"Simple enough" though Sunset.

"Camera rolling in T-minus 16 seconds!" announced the director.

"Good luck kid" said the Producer.

"You can do it!" cheered Sunset's manager.

"We're rolling!"

"T-minus 10 seconds."

Sunset took her position. She slowly took a deep breathe in, and exhaled. "I can do this" she said to herself. She clenched her hands into fists, tightly. "Don't worry about THAT. Don't THINK about THAT" she continued. "You are an actress. Now go ACT!" The Producer began the countdown:

"5 seconds!" he started. "4-3-2-1, we're ready!"

"SCENE: 1, TAKE: 1!"

The director gave the cue. "ACTION!"

The scene began with Blue Moon, playing the suspect, as he walks down the street on a dark night. He thinks he hears foot steps behind him but shrugs it off. From behind a trash can emerges, Sunset, playing Detective Cora F. Flame. "So far so good" whispered the director. Blue Moon, walks up the steps to a house and knocks on the door. Sunset hides behind a parked car and waits. The door slowly opens. There was Crescent.

"PAPA!" exclaimed Crescent, err or in this case, The little boy. "You're Home!"

Crescent runs over to his father. Blue Moon reaches out his hands and catches the running boy in his arms. Giving him a big kiss on his forehead and spinning around. The two giggled.

"Did you take care of the hose while I was gone?" asked the boy's father.

"Uhuhu" he replied, "I made my bed, dusted the tables and swept the floors, just like you told me too."

"Good boy" he said, "Remember, with mother still sick, it's your job to help her do the house work."

Blue Moon slowly placed Crescent down on the floor. The little boy smiled back at his dad. Sunset's eyes were wide open. Crescent really did reminded her a lot about Fluttershy( well, back when they were little). Down to her short hair, her thin physique, to the smile. "Excellent" the director whispered, "Look at that face! Such emotion! She's a natural."

Blue Moon and Crescent went inside. Sunset slowly got up from the behind the car and froze. Looking down on the floor, she could help but remember her. "This is not good" she thought. "I'm remembering her again." She slowly turned around and began to walk. As she was walking, she wasn't looking where she was going. Thinking about Fluttershy had distracted her. Without any warning at all, Sunset ran right into a light post.

[BANG!]

Everyone on set gasped. "C-CUT! CUT!!!" the director shouted. Everyone ran over towards Sunset's location, crew and actors alike. Her manager, Coco, helped Sunset up from the floor.

"Are you okay, ma'am" she asked.

"I'm fine!" she shouted.

"Ms. Shimmer" said Blue Moon, "Are you alright."

"What happened Ms. Shimmer!? You had it in the bag!" the director complained.

"S-Sorry" said Sunset, "I was just a little...into my role there."

"Do you need a doctor?" he asked.

"N-No! I'm fine" assured Sunset, "Can I just...try that scene again."

"Of course!" exclaimed the director, "LET'S TAKE IT FROM THE TOP!"

Everyone got back into position. "SCENE: 1, TAKE: 2!".

"ACTION!"

Blue Moon, playing the suspect, once again walks down the street on a dark night. He thinks he hears foot steps behind him but shrugs it off. From behind a trash can emerges, Sunset, playing Detective Cora F. Flame. Sunset begins following when out of no where she trips and falls down on her face. Every one gasped. "CUT!! CUUUUUUUTT!!!!" shouted the Director.

"What the hell is WRONG with me!?" thought Sunset to herself. "I never mess up! NEVER!"

"SCENE: 1, TAKE: 3!"

"ACTION!!!"

Once more. The scene began with Blue Moon, playing the suspect, walking down the street. It's dark, and late at night. He thinks he hears foot steps behind him but shrugs it off. From behind a trash can emerges, Sunset, playing Detective Cora F. Flame. Sunset begins walking. This time, once again, not knowing where she was going, Sunset, ends up hitting her head on the same light post.

"CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTT!!!!!!!"

"This is going to be a LONG shoot" thought Sunset.

After 3 hours of tripping, running head first into light posts, sneezing during an important moment, having her phone go off during shooting, and being humiliated, soiling her reputation as an actor, the director decided to just, used what thy had recorded first and change the script to add that Cora hits her head on a light post. It was now high noon. Sunset was laying in the back seat of her car devastated.

"Why~" she groaned.

"Look on the Brightside, Ms. Shimmer" said Coco, "At least that was the last thing on your schedule, so now you have all afternoon to relax."

"She's right Miss!" said Saul the chauffer. "Anywhere you want to go?" he asked.

Sunset pondered for a moment. She wanted to go somewhere where she can clear her head of all this nonsense. Somewhere where she can relax. A place where all anyone can go to seek comfort and distress from their ever day lives. A place where you go specifically to be pampered and be treated like royalty.

"Take me to Dairy Queen, Saul!" moaned Sunset.

"Yes, Ma'am!" he replied.

Back at the Fancy Pants' residents, Fluttershy was still in her room. The family was out doing their everyday activities, while Rainbow Dash stayed home and "babysat" her little sister, who was still up stairs in her room. It was already 2:17pm. Rainbow Dash was watching cartoons, when all of a sudden, it occurred to her that she should check on Fluttershy. After all, she hadn't seen her for almost 7 hours. Rainbow walked the stairs to the second floor hallway.

She knocked on the door. "Hey, Fluttershy? You in there?" she asked.

No a single answer was given. Rainbow Dash waited for awhile, hoping Fluttershy would respond, but she didn't. She nocked on the door again. But again, Fluttershy didn't say a word. Rainbow became worried. She placed her hand on the door knob and turned it. "Oh, good," she sighed, "her door is unlocked". She slowly opened the door and walked in to find her sister still in an upright sitting position starting at a daze straight at the wall. And to top it all off, her room smelled horrible. Why did it smell so awful? Well, A: She hadn't showered for 3 days. B: Her window was closed, and her celling fan was off. It was inevitable.

"OH MAN!" exclaimed Rainbow Dash, "What died in here Fluttershy!?"

"My dignity" she replied.

"Your hilarious!" replied Rainbow Dash with sarcasm.

"Please leave me alone Dashy" said Fluttershy, "I don't want to talk about it."

"Then don't, but at least take a shower!" demanded Rainbow, "YOU REEK!"

"A shower isn't going to make my misery go away." she moaned.

"No, but it will make my nose less miserable!" shouted Rainbow Dash, pinching her nose tight.

"What's the point?" said Fluttershy.

Rainbow Dash shook her head. Her sister never EVER skipped a single day of bath time, but now she was refusing to take a bath. She wasn't going to let this continue. She knew exactly what she had to do. She grabbed Fluttershy by her arm and dragged her out of her bedroom. "Hey! What are you doing!?" she shouted. Rainbow didn't answer. Fluttershy tried to struggle, and run away, but her sister's grip was too strong. Rainbow Dash dragged Fluttershy all the way out of her room and into the bathroom and pushed her inside. "Hey, what gives!" shouted Fluttershy, "That really hurts!"

"Don't talk!" shouted Rainbow Dash, "Wash!"

"What?" said Fluttershy with a confused expression on her face.

Rainbow Dash slapped her forehead. "Look at yourself, Fluttershy!" she shouted, waving her arms up and down. "You smell bad! Take off your clothes and TAKE! A BATH!!" she demanded. Fluttershy frowned. She crossed her arms and lifted her head up high.

"No!" she shouted.

"EXCUSE ME!" exclaimed Rainbow Dash.

"I'm not taking a bath!" she replied.

Rainbow Dash was not amused. "Fluttershy, we can do this the easy way or the hard way!" she exclaimed. "Or the medium way" she continued. "Or the semi-medium easy hard way" she added. "Or the sort of Hard with a touch of awkward easy difficult challenging way" she thought.

Rainbow looked at Fluttershy. She did not answer. She still had her arms crossed and her head lifted, turning away from her. Rainbow Dash frowned. She leaned in closer to Fluttershy, trying to look at her face to face, but she kept turning her head away from her. "Fluttershy!" shouted Rainbow. Fluttershy did not respond.

"So that's how you want it to go down?" muttered Rainbow Dash.

Still looking away from her, Fluttershy nodded slowly. Without warning, Rainbow Dash suddenly grabbed hold of the bed sheet Fluttershy was still wrapped around in and pulled, unwrapping her and causing her to spin around and fall to the floor in the process. Rainbow laughed. "I warned you" she smirked. Fluttershy growled, she did not appreciate being spun around and knocked down on the floor. She slowly picked herself up and got on her knees. Angrily looking at Rainbow Dash, she gave a sad pout.

"So," she said, parading around her smug look, "are you going to be a big girl and take a bath or am I going to have to bathe you like a baby?" she asked.

Fluttershy didn't say a word for a while. Rainbow slowly waited for her response. Her cocky smile slowly turned into frown. "Well?" she asked. Fluttershy then slowly nodded. She got up from, dusting off her knees, and walked over the bath tub. She drew the curtain back and turned on the faucet. "Good girl, Fluttershy. Now pick up your arms and let mommy help you take off her shirt" she began teasing.

"Yeah, yeah, don't push it!" said an aggravated Fluttershy.

"You knew I was going to say something like that" she replied.

Fluttershy stripped off her clothes, and slowly dipped one foot into the running bath water. She slowly turned to Rainbow Dash with discomfort. "Do I really have to do this?" she asked. Rainbow nodded slowly. Fluttershy groaned. She slowly placed her other foot inside and slowly sat sown. "There! Happy now!?" she asked.

Rainbow Dash stood there laughing. As she bend over and picked up the clothing from the floor, she turned back to Fluttershy and smiled. "Very much so" she said.

The clock showed 3:19 pm. All was still quiet at the Fancy Pants estate. Fluttershy had finished her bath and was drying herself off. She sat on the bed of sister bedroom, drying off her hair with towel while her sister rummaged through her dressers finding something for her to wear.

"Why can't I do this in my room?" asked Fluttershy.

"Why do you think?" Rainbow Dash replied.

"Oh come on, it doesn't smell that bad" she answered.

"Okay, put this on" she instructed, handing her a t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants.

"Thank you" said Fluttershy.

"No problem" said Rainbow Dash, "by the way, I found this in the pocket of your other pants" she added. Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out a small rounded object, light blue and appeared to made of glass. Fluttershy was surprised. That was the marble that Sunset gave her back at the convention hall where they shot the commercial.

"Hey, it's the marble Sunset gave me!" she exclaimed.

"Huh, weird," thought Rainbow Dash, "I didn't know it had a crack on it."

Fluttershy turned to Rainbow Dash with a shocked face. "WHAT!" she shouted. She ran over towards her and examined the marble in her hand. She was right. Right there, plain as the nose on her face was a crack. Not a big crack, but a crack. A fracture on something she was trusted with. "Oh no!" she exclaimed, "There IS a crack on it! What am I going to do!"

Rainbow Dash shook her head. "Relax little sister," she assured, "Sunset probably forgot about it by now. Besides, it's just a small crack" she added. Just then, Rainbow Dash dropped the marble in her hand. It bounced on the floor and ricocheted off the walls, right before landed right next to Fluttershy's foot. Fluttershy slowly picked up the marble and stared at with a shocked face.

"Oh, okay. Now it's bad" said Rainbow Dash.

Fluttershy was horrified. The small crack had turned into 2. 2 big fractures. "AAAAAHH" she screamed, "Rainbow, what am I going to do!" she panicked. "Sunset trusted me with her marble, and now its cracked! THIS IS HORRIBLE!!" Rainbow Dash grabbed her sister by the shoulders and shook her back and forth.

"Calm down Fluttershy!" she shouted. "It's just a crack. Besides, its not like Sunset is ever going to ask for it back one day."

Oh Rainbow Dash. Murphey's Law. You should've said that.

Chapter: Five.

I hope you guys find it enjoyable.

Chapter: Five.

Fluttershy nervously paced her room back and forth, hyperventilating. She had broken the marble that Sunset gave her, and trusted her with. What was she going to do? “This is really bad, Rainbow Dash!” she cried, “I need to fix this! But How~?!”

Rainbow shook her head. “Don’t panic” she assured, “all we have to do is replace it with another” she smiled.

Fluttershy stopped and pondered the idea for a moment. It sounded pretty great. “You know what,” she said, “That’s not a bad idea at all.”

“Of course not” replied Rainbow. “There’s a store in down town that sells glass trinkets and marble décor,” she added, “I’m sure they’ll have a marble that matches.”

Fluttershy jumped joy. She still had a chance to make things right. She was going to replace Sunset’s marble before she came back asking for it. “Well what are we waiting for?!” exclaimed Fluttershy, “Let’s go now before it closes!” Fluttershy ran out of Rainbow’s bedroom and out into the hallway. She was eager to get to that store down town that she forgot something.

“Fluttershy!” called out Rainbow Dash as she chased after her down the hallway. She was able to grab hold of her arms and pull her back, just as she was heading down the stairs.

“Ouch!” she cried, “What is it Rainbow Dash?”

Rainbow handed Fluttershy a plain t-shirt and raised her eyebrows at her. Fluttershy looked at the t-shirt at hand. Why was Rainbow giving her a shirt? Fluttershy stared back Rainbow with a puzzled face. “What am I supposed to do with this?” she asked. Rainbow rolled her eyes. Staring at her sister, she slowly pointed down below.

Fluttershy slowly looked down. As she stared down to the floor, she was able to see her torso and her two bare feet. That’s when it hit her. She was still in a bath towel (butt naked). “Oh,” she blushed, “I’ll be right back.” Rainbow Dash shook her head as Fluttershy ran back to the bedroom to change.

“Oh boy, what will she do without me?” sighed Rainbow Dash.

Meanwhile, at Dairy Queen, Sunset was not doing well. The embarrassment of her performance in that shoot was HORRIBLE. More horrible than anything she could think of. Coco and Saul stared at their poor client as she gloomed over her expense, her faced planted flat on the table top. She hasn't even once touched her blizzard. And they even got her, her favorite flavor: Cookie dough Cheesecake.

"Ms. Shimmer," asked Coco, "I know you're upset, but you can't hold it against you. It was just one little coincidence."

Sunset didn't answer. She laid with her face still planted on the surface of the table. Coco shook her head. She never saw Sunset look this upset before. It must've really been serious, if she didn't even want to eat her favorite ice cream.

"So, ma'am, uh...are you goanna eat that?" asked Saul.

"SAUL!" barked Coco.

"What? Legitimate question" he replied.

Sunset slowly got from the table and walked away. Coco called out to her put she didn't answer. She tried to follow her, but Saul stopped her from doing so. "I think it be best to give her some space" he said. Coco sighed. Saul might be right. Sunset probably just needs some time alone. Coco sat back down and continued eating. On this she noticed Saul reaching over for Sunset's ice cream.

"SAUL!"

"Hey, not letting good ice cream go to waste!"

Outside, Sunset began slowly pacing back and fourth around the parking lot. She couldn't stop thinking about how much that little boy reminded her of Fluttershy. Even worse, she couldn't let go of Fluttershy in general. This became a problem for her. She still had feelings for her, and was in denial of her being a...well, a HER.

"What is Happening to me!?" yelled Sunset. "I've grown accustomed to her face!" she cried. "I've fallen in love with her charade!" she continued. "I...I...I'm in love with Fluttershy." Sunset slowly came to realize that she had fallen in love with Fluttershy, despite finding out her secret. She could ignore her past feelings for her. "N-NO!" she yelled, "I cant's love her, I WON"T!!" Sunset got on her knees and yelled as loud as she could.

"I AM NOT A LESBIAN!!!!!"

Sunset began breathing in and out heavily. A few people in the parking lot stopped and stared at her. They looked at her like if she was crazy. Sunset stared back at them as well. "WHAT! WHAT ARE YOU ALL LOOKING AT!!?" she barked. "I'M NOT CRAZY!!" she yelled, "YOU ALL ARE CRAZY!!"

Every one slowly backed away from her as they walked into the restaurant. Sunset found herself once again alone by herself, in the dark. "Oh my god, I'm losing my mind!" she cried. "What's happening to me? Why am I..." Sunset paused for a moment. She knew why she was going crazy over this. "That's it" she declared. "I know what I have to do."

Back with RD and Fluttershy, the two had finally had it to the marble shop. It took them awhile, but they made just in time before it closed. Fluttershy eagerly got out of the car and ran inside. Rainbow Dash gave chase. "At least wait until I shop the engine!" she shouted. The two entered inside, and looked around, searching for a marble that matched Sunset's.

"Did you find one yet?" asked Fluttershy.

"Nope" she replied.

"Oh, what am I going to do!" cried Fluttershy, "If Sunset finds out she's going to KILL ME!"

"Calm down kid," assured Rainbow Dash, "we've only been searching for 2 minutes. Were not going to find an exact match in 2 minutes."

As Rainbow Dash slowly turned around to keep browsing shelves, she saw a row of marbles that looked just like Sunset's. "Uh, or maybe we will" she sated.

Rainbow Dash picked up one of the marble balls and showed to Fluttershy. Getting her hopes up, she reached into her pocket and pulled the cracked marble to compare it with the other. It was a perfect match. Fluttershy cheered. "YES! YES, YES, YES!" she shouted, "Oh this is great. Now I replace Sunset's marble and she she'll never know the difference!"

Rainbow Dash smiled. Unfortunately, a quick stare back at the shelves quickly turned her smile into a frown. She tapped Fluttershy on her shoulder and turned her head towards the shelves. "I don't think so" said Rainbow, pointing to the shelves. Right there, in big black letters, read the price tag.

$500 ea.

"Five-Hundred Dollars, EACH!" exclaimed Fluttershy, "But...But I only have 10 bucks."

"Tough luck sis, I only brought a 50 dollar bill" said Rainbow Dash.

"Now what am I going to do!" she cried.

"Well, I guess there's nothing we can do" replied RD, "You'll have to tell Sunset the truth."

Fluttershy became horrified. "The...t-t-t-truth?" she stuttered nervously. She could possibly come clean and tell Sunset the truth. Especially after how badly she hurt her after the commercial shoot.

"I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN, FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE!!!"

"EEK!" yelped Fluttershy, "I can't! I can't do that! Not after what I put her through."

"Hmm..." though Rainbow Dash, "I think I have an Idea then."

"What is it?" asked Fluttershy.

"I know a childhood friend of mine who knows how to fix things," she stated, "Toys, Electronics; Glass ordainments," she continued, "Maybe he can help you with your marble problem."

"Really!? Are you sure!?" asked Fluttershy with hope with in her eyes.

"Absolutely!" replied RD with thumbs up.

[Back Home]

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO!?" shouted Rainbow Dash. "YOU HAVE TO HELP ME!" she begged. Fluttershy's smiled slowly turned into a frown. This wasn't going to be good. "OH COME ON, THAT WAS 12 YEARS AGO! Can you get over it?"

[Click]

"H-Hello...Hello? Hello!? Great!"

"Let me guess," interrupted Fluttershy, "he won't help us?"

"No" frowned Rainbow. "Geez, you break a guy's leg ONE TIME playing soccer with him, and suddenly YOU'RE the Bad Guy!"

"Well then...looks like its over" Fluttershy pouted.

"Hey come on sis," assured Rainbow Dash, "Don't loose hope yet. Besides, Sunset hasn't come around asking for it. You're in the clear!" she continued. "I bet she's probably forgot about that thing."

"You know what, you're right!" Fluttershy smiled.

"Well then, It's getting late" yawned Rainbow, "I'm gonna go to bed."

"It's 6:38" said Fluttershy.

"Don't care" she replied.

Rainbow Dash was right, thought Fluttershy. If Sunset really wanted her marble back, she'd come asking for it by now. Heck, she would've asked for it back when she discovered the truth. Fluttershy was worry free now. She happily walked over to her room and turned on her computer. She was eager to catch up on the latest episodes of Lunar Luna. With all this commercial and marble nonsense, she forgot about her favorite anime series.

The next morning, Fluttershy got up, showered, and got dressed with no hesitation. Twilight was impressed to finally see Fluttershy getting over the event. After breakfast, Fluttershy road her bike to school. She was finally excited to be back after her 3 days of absence. However, she forgot about one tiny detail.

As she walked into her class, all of her classmates started staring at her. This was new for Fluttershy. Her classmates never really paid any attention to her. She was one of those, forgettable students that you never really know are there. So this was really odd. As she took a seat, every one began whispering.

"What's going on?" thought Fluttershy. "Why are they all staring at me."

The rest of the day pretty much went on like this. Up until lunch period, Fluttershy went into the girl's bathroom to wash her face and try to realize why everyone was staring at her. As she looked in the mirror and turned on the faucet, she realized exactly why. Her hair. It was cut short. And hair as long as hers doesn't just grown back in 3 days. Fluttershy was surprised, she forgot all about the hair cut she got for the commercial shoot.

"Oh yeah. My hair. I almost for got all about it."

Afterschool, Fluttershy went to her Manga Club. She was worried about how her friends with think of her with short hair. But I guess it was time for her to find out. She took a deep breathe in and exhaled. She slowly walked in. Her friends were there to greet her.

"Ah, Fluttershy!" exclaimed AJ, "Oh man Ah'm so glad ya..."

AJ immediately halted her words, as she noticed Fluttershy's hair. She was surprised. "Uh...I see ya got a air cut" she said with a nervous grin on her face. Fluttershy began to blush. She was worried about what AJ and the other's would say. "Uh, it looks uh...looks nice" she continued. "Right guys?"

Fortunately, no one else in the club seemed to care or even notice. Spike and Bulk were just being there usual selves, arguing about which one of their favorite character is better, and Derpy was being...well, Derpy.

"Oh I almost forgot!" exclaimed AJ, "Here, the latest issue of Lunar Luna came out."

AJ handed Fluttershy the latest issue of the Lunar Luna manga series. Fluttershy was excited. She took the comic from AJ's hand and took a seat at her usual spot. She was relieved. Looks like everything turned out okay.

"Wow, things are finally looking up for me" thought Fluttershy. "Nothing can ruin this day now."

[Meanwhile]

Rarity and Fancy Pants were getting ready for dinner party. Twilight waited for them by the front door.

"Sir!? Madame!?" she called out, "Are you ready? We need to get going."

"All set to go!" exclaimed Fancy Pants.

"Oh I'm so excited!" cheered Rarity, "A dinner party at a Fancy Ballroom. Oh I can't wait!"

"Neither can I" said Fancy Pants. "The President of Crystal Heights Industries seemed pretty interested in talking to me."

"I can tell sir" interrupted Twilight. "He must mean business if He wishes to discuss terms with you at a dinner party he's hosting."

"Well, better not keeping waiting" said Fancy Pants.

"I couldn't agree more" said Twilight.

As she walked over to the door to open it, there was a knock. This was surprising. Fluttershy wouldn't be home for another hour and Rainbow Dash was out doing a band rehearsal. So who could that?

"Huh. Odd. I'm not expecting any company" said Fancy Pants.

"Neither am I" said Rarity.

"Hmm. Wonder who that is?" thought Twilight.

She slowly opened the door. Standing on the front porch was young girl. Dressed in a black leather jacket and purple blouse top. Black jeans and, oh you get the idea. This is just filler. Guess who Sunset Shimmer.

"Sunset!" exclaimed Twilight "Why are you..."

"SUNSET!~" exclaimed Rarity. "OMG, SHE'S REALLY HERE!"

"Hello. I'm sorry to bother you all" said Sunset nicely. "May I come in?" she asked.

"Oh, umm, well..." stuttered Twilight.

"I don't see why not" said Fancy Pants.

"PLEASE COME IN!" squealed Rarity with delight.

Sunset smiled and walked. Twilight was surprised to see her here. What did she want? "Uh, so, uh, What are you doing here Ms. Shimmer?" she asked Nervously. Sunset nervously stared at Twilight with a blank face, thinking about what to say. "I thought you wanted to...Part ways after our little...get together" Twilight stated.

"Um, well yes" answered Sunset, "It's just that, uh..."

"What is it?" asked Fancy Pants, "Come ol' gal. Out with it. What brings you to our humble manor?"

"Can I get you some tea?" asked Rarity.

"Oh no, it's fine Ma'am" she replied nicely. "I just want to see Fluttershy for a bit."

"Sunset wants to see Fluttershy?" though Twilight. "Why would Sunset want to see her?" she continued, "Especially after that whole incident during the commercial shoot." Twilight was suspicious. What was Sunset up to? "Uh, may I ask WHY you wish to see Miss...we, MISTERFluttershy?" she asked (Twilight never told Mr. Fancy Pants and Mrs. Rarity that Sunset knowns Fluttershy's true identity).

"Oh" replied Sunset, "You see, I loaned Fluttershy a marble of mine, and I was wondering if I could have it back."

"Hmm, find that hard to believe" thought Twilight to herself.

"Oh, well Fluttershy isn't here" said Fancy Pants.

"Yes. She's at school" added Rarity. "Won't be out for another half hour."

"Oh, I see" said Sunset disappointingly.

"Well, your welcomed to stay and wait for her if you like" said Fancy Pants.

"Really?" asked Sunset.

"Uh, Sir" said Twilight nervously, "Are you sure that's a good idea? Leaving her unattended in our house."

"What's the harm?" he replied.

"I-If you say so sir" replied Twilight with doubt. "Oh man, Fluttershy is not going to happy about this" she whispered.

Fluttershy was happily reading away. Her manga was getting interesting. As she was just about to get to the next chapter, her cellphone text message ringer sounded off. "Oh, looks like a text" she stated. Fluttershy reached into her backpack and pulled out her cellphone. She had one new message. It was from Twilight. "Oh my, I wonder what Twi wants" she thought. She selected the message and read it.

"Fluttershy, Get over here! Sunset is at our house asking about some kind of marble she loan you and wants it back. I have to take your parents to a dinner party and Rainbow is out at a band rehearsal, so you'll be on your own until we back. Good Luck. P.S. I think we might still be in the clear about her knowing your secret, but don't bring it up, just in case."

So much for nothing running her day.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" screamed Fluttershy.

"Oh. Uh, everything okay Fluttershy?" asked AJ.

"I, uh...uh, I-I-I h-have to go!" she stuttered.

"Oh? Hey, wait! Fluttershy! You forgot."

Fluttershy ran out the door and headed down the Hallway. All of her friends stopped and stared. "Uh, that was weird" said Derpy, "Fluttershy never leaves Club without taking her manga with her."

Fluttershy ran down hallway in a panic. Reaching out her cellphone, she tried dialing her sister, Rainbow. But there was no answer. She called back 3 times, but Rainbow never picked up. Fluttershy was scared. She then tried to call Twilight, but once again, she was sent to the answering machine. "No..." she cried. She nervously walked down the stairs to the first floor. She kept trying to call Twilight again. Again and again, there was no answer.

"Oh no!" she muttered. She tried calling one more time to Rainbow Dash, but there was still no answer. "Oh, come on!" she whined. "Why aren't you answering you guys?! I need you!" she groaned. "Oh no this is bad. Sunset is at my house asking for her marble, but it's broken. And I don't have a replacement!"

"AAH! WAHT AM I GOING TO DOOOOOOOO!!!!!???" she yelled.

Meanwhile back the house, Sunset happily waited in the living room, sitting on the couch. Back hunched, hands crossed, with her chine resting on top of them. Her elbows planted firm on the cap of her knees. She stared at her reflection in the mirror and smiled, very sly like. She laughed mischievously. "Oh man, I can't believe they bought that stupid story about my marble!" she exclaimed, "I could care less about that thing at this point. My true intentions are to see Fluttershy one last time and expel any feelings I may still have for her completely."

Sunset reclined herself back on the couch, placing her hands behind her head. Crossing one leg above her other, she stared at the ceiling. "I will final be able to rid myself of this hellish nightmare," she continued, "and rid myself of this delusion. Then maybe..." she paused. "Hmm...Maybe I can finally move on."

Suddenly the front door opened. Fluttershy had arrived home. Sunset jumped off the couch seat, gasping. "Oh no! SHE'S HERE!" she cried. Sunset ran over to the TV and looked at her reflection to see if she was decent. Using her finger tips, she combed her hair, making sure it was neat and tidy. Fluttershy ran inside, down the hall, making her way to the living room. As Sunset reached into her purse to pull out some make-up items. It hit her.

"Wait. Wha...What am I DOING!" she exclaimed. "I don't need to look pretty for HER!"

"SUNSET!" yelled a voice from behind her.

F-Fluttershy? Sunset stared behind herself to find a thin girl with short pink hair. Dressed in a yellow sweater and a green plaited skirt. She wore pink glasses and had a butterfly hair clip rested on the left side of her hair. The girl looked scared, and in her hand she held what appeared to be a glass marble. Sunset slowly approached her.

"Sunset! I'm...I'm SO sorry! I dropped your good luck charm, and now it's BROKEN!!" cried Fluttershy.

Fluttershy closed her eyes shut. "Here it comes" she thought, "I can only imagine how mad she's going to be with me?" Sunset stared at Fluttershy for a long while. Fluttershy waited for her to speak. But Sunset didn't respond. Fluttershy was nervous. Anxiously waiting to hear Sunset's words. Finally she came out and said it...

"Huh? Fluttershy? Where are you? Hello? Where? I herd her voice just now. Where is she?"

Where is she? SHE WAS RIGHT THERE! Fluttershy was surprised. She is literally standing right in front of her. Was she stupid or was this her trying to get pay back? "Hey hello" said Fluttershy. "I'm right here." She pointed to herself, "Here I am Sunset. It's me. Fluttershy."

Sunset stared at the girl closely. Her eyes slowly opened widely. THIS was Fluttershy. Sunset was shocked. "WHAT!" she thought to herself. "This is..."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Sunset backed away from Fluttershy with horror. She couldn't believe it. This poindexter was Fluttershy. That couldn't possibly be. "NO!" she exclaimed pointing at Fluttershy. "YOU'RE NOT HER! MY FLUTTERSHY WAS SOME DORKY LITTLE DWEEB LIKE YOU!!!" she added.

"No it's true," replied Fluttershy, "this how I look. This is who I really am."

"WHAT!" exclaimed Sunset, "NO! YOU'RE LYING!!"

Sunset angrily rushed over to the stranger and grabbed her by the collar of her shirt. "PROVE IT IMPOSTER!" she yelled, "SHOW ME YOUR FACE!!" Sunset grabbed on the girl's glasses and pulled them off. She then gave a dead cold look at her. Fluttershy was scared. She nervously moaned in fear. Her face blushing red. Sunset stared deep into the stranger's eyes. It was true. It really was Fluttershy. Sunset slowly began to frown. She cold expression turned into awe. She had those same eyes, that sparkled in the light.

Sunset released Fluttershy from her grip and backed away. She was devastated. She turned away and sat down on the floor emo style. She held Fluttershy's glasses in her hand tightly. Fluttershy stood behind her staring at a daze. She was confused as to what just happened. "What was that about?" she though. So Sunset didn't recognize her with the glasses?

"It...It really IS her" muttered Sunset.

"Huh?" Fluttershy turned her attention.

"BUT HOW CAN THIS BE!!!" Sunset wallowed, "WAS MY DARLING PRICE THIS NERDY LITTLE GIRL THIS WHOLE TIME!! AND DESPITE THAT, I THINK MY HEART SKIPPED A BEAT WHEN I SAW!!"

"NO!!" she exclaimed to herself. "This...This must stop! I'M ENDING IT NOW!!!"

Sunset slowly got up from her emo corner and turned to Fluttershy. Throwing her glasses aside, she slowly approached her. "Hey, my glasses!" cried Fluttershy. As she went to get them, she found herself being grabbed by her shoulders. Sunset stared at Fluttershy with a annoyed look. What did she want? Fluttershy became nervous. What was she going to do to her?

"F-Fluttershy" said Sunset, "Would you...Oh~...W-Would you, please, take off your clothes?" she asked.

Fluttershy stared at Sunset for a while before it finally hit her. Did she hear that right? Did Sunset just asked her to...

"EEH...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"WHA-WHA-WHA...W-WHAT ARE YOU EVEN SAYING!!" she yelled nervously.

"SHUT UP AND JUST GET NAKED ALREADY!" demanded Sunset.

"NO! GET AWAY FROM ME YOU PERVERT!!" Fluttershy shouted.

Sunset chased Fluttershy around the living room trying to undress her. "HOLD STILL!" she yelled, grabbing hold of the belt line of Fluttershy's skirt, "Listen, last time we met, I only saw you for second, which means I couldn't accept it!" She knocked Fluttershy to the floor and unzipped the zipper to her skirt. As she reached to undo the button, Fluttershy wiggled away from her grip and kept on running. Sunset followed suit.

"NO! HELP!" she cried.

"PLEASE!" begged Sunset, "I need help! This will give it to me!" she added. "By seeing you naked I can burn into my mind the fact you ARE indeed a woman!" she stated. "I can rid myself of these feelings I've had for you for so long!"

"ALLOW ME TO DISILLUSION MYSELF, PLEASE!!" she cried. Fluttershy ran as fast as she can go, but was unable to out run Sunset. She found herself being grabbed by her shoulders and knocked to the ground again. She laid on the floor face first, with Sunset sitting above her. She tried to struggle away as Sunset stripped off her socks and her shoes. She wiggled and squirmed as fast as she could, but wasn't able to free herself. She cried and called out for help, but remembered she was all alone. She was helpless.

"STOP!!" she begged. "I'M TICKLISH THERE!!"

Fluttershy was finally able to break free from under Sunset. She tried to runaway again, but found Sunset reaching over grabbing her arm. She dragged Fluttershy back to her and grab hold of her beltline on her skirt and pulled down. All that remained was her sweater. She gripped the bottom and pulled up. Fluttershy begged Sunset to stop, but Sunset didn't listen. She took off Fluttershy's sweater shirt and knocked her to the floor.

Fluttershy was now in her underwear. Pink panties, and a pink tank top over a pink t-shirt bra. She fearfully turned to Sunset, who had a creepy looking smile on her face. Sunset picked Fluttershy up from the floor and pushed her on the couch. She grabbed onto her tank top and stripped it off of her. Fluttershy squealed with utter embarrassment as she crossed her arms together, covering her bra and her breasts. She blushed red. Fluttershy slowly looked up to find Sunset sitting over her, panting and smiling her creepy smile.

"Yes, this should..." Before Sunset could finish her sentence, she froze in her words as she stared at Fluttershy's body. Her creepy little satisfied smile, slowly turned into a frown. Her eyebrows raised with shock. She could believe it. Fluttershy looked...Beautiful. Her skin was so light and soft like silk. It matched the tone of her crystal blue eyes. Those eyes that looked that sparkled perfectly in the light. Her short hair that covered one side of her face.

"Please...stop" begged Fluttershy.

Sunset didn't move. She didn't answer. She didn't even blink. She stared at Fluttershy with awe. Through her heart, she left emotions she had never felt before. She actually felt feelings for Fluttershy. She felt...aroused. She slowly leaned in closer towards Fluttershy, gently stroking her hair. Fluttershy closed her eyes tightly as Sunset slowly leaned in closer to her. Fluttershy began breathing heavily. The two were face to face, nose to nose.

"W-What are you doing?" asked Fluttershy.

Sunset smiled as she placed a finger on top of Fluttershy's lip. "Shh," she whispered softly, "don't worry..."

"I'll be gentle..."

Chapter: Six.

!WARNING!
This chapter contains lost of touching, licking, kissing, and body worship. (Which is my first time writing it, so it may suck)

Viewer Discretion is advised.

Fluttershy closed her eyes tightly as Sunset slowly began gently kissing her on the neck. One kiss. Two kisses. Three. Sunset kissed Fluttershy's neck until she slowly made her way up to her cheek. Fluttershy began to blush. Tears running down her eyes as she let out a soft moan. Sunset slowly and gently gave Fluttershy's cheek a lick. Her eyes widened with cheeks blushing red with ecstasy. Fluttershy's tears were so delicious...wait what?

"So sweet" thought Sunset to herself. "So tender."

Sunset licked a little more tears off of her cheek. She never tasted anything like them. She was feeling warm. Very warm. She began breathing heavily. "So sweet" she muttered. "I want more." Sunset took off her leather jacket and went back to kissing Fluttershy on her neck. Fluttershy moaned as Sunset's nibbling and smooching up her neck. It almost tickled her. Sunset's warm lips pressing up against her cold bare skin. Her tongue only seemed to make her even more ticklish. She tried to contain herself, but she couldn't.

Fluttershy was scared of what Sunset was doing, but she couldn't help but let out all of her arousal. She breathed heavily as Sunset slowly made her way down her body to her left bosom. Hey, what did I say!? I warned you! Don't blame this on me later on. She lightly gave it a gently kiss. Sunset was burning red. She took off her blouse shirt and proceeded to turning Fluttershy on her back. Fluttershy yelped as Sunset grabbed her shoulders and turned her faced down.

"Oh no...Wha- What are you doing!?" she nervously asked.

Sunset didn't answer. She leaned in closely and began to kissing her left shoulder. Fluttershy began to cry. Why was Sunset doing this? She wanted to struggle and break free from her hold, and snap her back to reality, but her fear was just too strong. Sunset wouldn't stop kissing her. First her neck, then licking her cheek, now her shoulder. And just when she thought it couldn't get any worse, Sunset began to unhook her bra. Fluttershy didn't realize it, until she felt the straps on her shoulders being pulled down.

"Oh no...Sunset...what are you going to..."

Before Fluttershy could finish. Sunset turned her faced up again. Fluttershy saw this horrifying look n Sunset's face. A look of want. A look of greed. The intention of rape. Without warning, Sunset stripped Fluttershy of her one single piece of modesty. Fluttershy yelled out in horror, hugging her body to avoid exposing herself. She turned away from Sunset and shut her eyes tightly.

"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!" she yelled.

Fluttershy was horrified. Her heart was bounding, face sweating, body shaking, eyes wide open. What was Sunset going to do with her? "SUNSET, SNAP OUT OF IT!" she begged. Sunset didn't answer. Her breathe breathed heavily, as she held on to that demented little smile on her face. Sunset leaned in closer to Fluttershy. Fluttershy struggled and yelled out, hoping someone would listen. But she was alone. No one was here to save her now.

"S-Sunset...P-please stop...I"

Sunset giggled as she stroked Fluttershy's hair. She really has gone insane. There was nothing Fluttershy could do but lay there helplessly until someone came. Tears fell from Fluttershy's face. Her cheeks her blushing red. She cringed as she Sunset kissed her mouth, tongue and all. She desperately tried to wiggle, but was to paralyzed with fear. Why was Sunset doing this.

"WHY AM I DOING THIS!!" thought Sunset to herself. "I...I CAN'T WANT HER! THIS IS NOT ME!" she continued. "THIS IS WRONG!! BUT...but...It feels right."

Sunset stopped kissing Fluttershy and slowly pulled away from her mouth. The two were face to face again. Fluttershy was red: embarrassed, scared, horrified, violated; she was gasping as tears ran down her face. Of course, still oblivious to what she is doing, Sunset smiled at her and gave her a playful bop on the nose. "Boop!" she teased. Fluttershy was afraid to respond. She just laid there with the horrified expression on her face.

"Baby, what's wrong?" asked Sunset, "Am I not satisfying you?"

Fluttershy opened her eyes and changed emotionally from scared and embarrassed to Extremely Horrified. She stared at Sunset with both confusion, horror, and complete Burning Anger. Did she here that correctly. Did Sunset just asked her if she was "Satisfying Her"!? That tares it, Sunset really did loose her mind.

"Wha-- What are you s-saying!" asked Fluttershy nervously.

"Don't worry, I know what'll what will do the trick" replied Sunset.

"What? What are you-- Wait...Wha-- What are you DOING!!"

Fluttershy cringed and moaned as Sunset began kissing her abdomen. Fluttershy began to bluish even more. This was the most uncomfortable thing she that she had ever experienced.

"N-NO STOP!" moaned Fluttershy, "AAH! I...AH! I DON'T WANT THI-- AAH!! NO!"

Sunset lips tickled her as she felt her lips and tongue slobber down her belly. She felt Sunset getting lower, and lower, and lower, until she felt her lips kissing her right above her thighs. Fluttershy was tried to wiggle out from out of Sunset's hold, but was to weak to shimmy. Sunset was actually aroused by this.

"Is it working mistress!? Are you satisfied!?" she asked.

"NO! PLEASE! I WANT YOU TO STOP!!" yelled Fluttershy.

"My Mistress" replied Sunset, "Oh, my Fair Mistress...I can't stop! I won't stop! I WANT YOU SO BADLY!!!" she yelled.

"SUNSET LET ME GO!!" cried Fluttershy.

"NEVER!" she replied. She stood up from on top of her and began to unbuckle her belt. "YOU AND ME ARE MEANT TO BE TOGETHER!!" she exclaimed.

"S-S-Sunset...What are you--"

Sunset threw her belt aside and began to unzip her skirt. Fluttershy was frightened. She wasn't going to stay here and continue letting Sunset have her way any longer. She was taking a risk. She quickly scooted her body from under Sunset and tried to crawl away, but soon felt Sunset grabbing hold of her leg.

"DON'T GO MISTRESS!!!" she begged, "LET ME PROVE MY WORTH TO YOU!!"

"NO!" yelled Fluttershy, "YOU'RE INSANE!!! GET AWAY FROM ME!!"

"DON'T RUNAWAY FROM YOUR FEELING MY MISTRESS!!!" exclaimed Sunset, "EMBRACE THE LOVE!!!"

Sunset pulled Fluttershy back towards her and picked her up by the shoulder. She hugged and squeezed her really tightly in her arms. Fluttershy tried to struggle, but Sunset's grip was too tight. She was further violated as Sunset kissed and slobbered her neck. Cries and yelps escaped from her as she tried to escape.

But then, out of now where, just when all hope looked to be lost, Fluttershy was saved. She was saved by the holy kindness of every stories favorite overly used cliché, the Deus Ex Machina!

(No the videogame Deus Ex Machina but the type other Deus Ex Machina. Like in War of the World and Signs.)

As Sunset happily had her way with poor Fluttershy she felt a strong blow hitting her on the back of her head. A voice behind her yelled, "OKAY! I'VE SEEN ENOUGH!" Sunset released Fluttershy from her grip and knelt to the floor, gripping the back of her head in pain.

"AAAHH!" she yelled, "HEY, WHAT GIVES CRE--"

Before Sunset could finish her sentence, she came face-to-face with none than, guess who...Rainbow Dash. It was a "Big Sister Ex Machina". Sunset let a terrified yelp, quickly backing away from the furious Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy smiled at the sight of her sister. "R-Rainbow Dash! You're Here!" she exclaimed. But Rainbow Dash didn't acknowledge Fluttershy for a single minute. She was too shocked at the sight she had walked in on.

"YOU!!!" shouted RD, pointing at the terrified half-dressed, red and yellow haired celebrity cowering in the corner.

"H-Hey there...you" replied Sunset nervously.

"So, this is what I find when I get home!?" Rainbow continued. "MY LITTLE SISTER, AND HER FORMER CO-STAR, PRACTICALLY NAKED, AND...Uhh? AH! I BET NONE OF YOU USED PROTECTION!!"

"What?" said Sunset.

"RAINBOW DASH!" yelled Fluttershy.

"Not now sis!" replied Rainbow, "I'm a little bit interested on why little miss "TV STAR" is here in my house NAKED."

"Uh...w-well..." said Sunset, "You see, I came to get my good luck marble back and I uh..."

"SHE'S LYING!" interrupted Fluttershy, "SHE WANTED ME TO STRIP NAKED, AND I REFUSED SHE FORCE TOOK MY CLOTHES OFF, THEN STARTED SEXUALLY ASSULTING, AND CALLING ME MISTRESS, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, BUT SHE BAD TOUCHED MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"

Sunset stood staring at Rainbow Dash with fear and utter embarrassment. She smiled awkwardly as Rainbow slowly approached her with furious eyes. "Uh, I can explain..." she said.

"Okay..." replied RD, "EXPLAIN."

Sunset pondered her thoughts for a moment. What was she to say? What CAN she to justify what she just did? There was nothing she could say or do that wouldn't get her arrested by the police or physically assaulted by Rainbow Dash. "Uh, well..." she said nervously, "I...uh, I uh...I was j-just trying to...uh...you see I, uh...we were playin a game and I guest I just got a little rough."

Rainbow Dash raised her eyebrow and smiled cockily. "Oh, a game?" she said. "You two were playing a game and you got a little Rough?" She slowly began walking, circling around Sunset with her tucked behind her back. "You were playing a game, and just got a little rough?" Sunset nervously looked at Rainbow Dash. Her sudden smile made her panic. As if it spelled out the words: "Your a dead girl".

"Hmm..." Rainbow Dash thought. "So, you like playing rough, Sunset?" she asked.

"Huh?" replied Sunset.

"You...enjoy a little roughhousing, is that it?" said Dash, as she slowly approached Sunset face to face.

"Uh...y-y-yes~" replied Sunset nervously.

"Well then..." replied Rainbow with a giggled, wrapping her arms around Sunset in a sensual way.

"Wait what are you--"

"Your going to LOVE me..." said Rainbow Dash, her face, nose to nose with Sunset's.

"Uh...I need an adult!" exclaimed Sunset nervously.

"I Am Adult" replied Rainbow.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

Sunset woke up screaming. She nervously looked around to find herself in her bedroom. She looked at her alarm clock: 8:58 pm. She was relieved. "Oh my god. It was all just a dream. Another horrible nightmare" she said to herself. She slowly pulled out of her bead and went into the bathroom to splash some cold water on her face.

She opened the bathroom door and turned on the light switch. She breathed in and slowly breathed out. She approached the sink and tuned on the tap. Then she slowly leaned herself in and scooped some of the running water in her hand, and splashed her face with it. She then reached for a hand towel to dry her face.

As she finished up drying and slowly looked at herself in the mirror, she was shocked to find a black eye on her face. "Wait, what is..." Sunset couldn't believe. "Oh my god!" she exclaimed, "M-My eye. MY EYE!" She was surprised. "How did my eye get this way!?" she wondered. "I was asleep having a nightmare, how did..."

Sunset's eyes widen as she suddenly began to remember. She was punched in the face by Rainbow Dash. Just 2 hours ago, she was at Fluttershy's house. She really do those horrible things to her. In outrage, Rainbow sucker punched her in the face, and called her manager, Cocoa, who begged the 2 sister not to press charges and drove her home while she was unconscious. Sunset remembered it all. A sudden flashback, revealing in-depth that her nightmare, wasn't a nightmare. It was real.

Sunset fell to her knees moaned.

"Why could this all had just been a dream?" she thought.

"Why?"

Chapter: Seven.

Author's Note

Man, I've became REALLY Lazy this past few weeks. I planned of releasing this 4 days ago. Anyway, better late than never, right?
Anyway, here's the next chapter of Lights Camera Romance.

Chapter: Seven.

Silence filled Twilight's office as she typed away on her computer. The clock ticked on as the sound of typing echoed. Twilight breathed in, and gently exhaled. Writing manager reports and sorting the family’s schedules wasn’t an easy task, but it relaxed her. With the house practically empty, it was perfectly clear enough for her to think.

“Hmm, it’s quiet” she thought to herself, “too quiet.”

She was right. It was really quiet. She turned to look at the clock above her. 12:02 am. “Hmm” she thought to herself, “11. Isn’t Fluttershy u by this hour?” Twilight got up from her computer to go check and on Fluttershy. After what she heard what happened to her last night, she thought “Shy” could use some calming interaction.

Twilight slowly approached Fluttershy’s door and knocked. “Fluttershy? Are you in there?” she called out. There was no answer. Twilight knocked again. She waited 3 seconds. Again, there was no answer. She slowly placed her ear on the door to try and hear what was going on inside. “Fluttershy?” she called out.

All Twilight could hear was a muffled sobbing. Twilight was really worried now. She began to knock the door harder. “Fluttershy!” she called out. “Fluttershy, open up, please!”

Fluttershy laid on her bed, faced down into her pillow. Her gloomy aura filled her room. “What’s happening?” she thought to herself. Twilight kept knocking on her door. Still with no answer.

Twilight placed her ear on the door to try and hear. She heard muffled sobbing coming from the room. “Oh thank god” she sighed. “Least I know she’s still alive.” Twilight lightly knocked on the door again. No answer. “Hmm, what is going in there?” thought Twi.

Meanwhile inside, Fluttershy was lying face down on her bead, lightly sobbing and in a cringe. She couldn’t stop thinking about…that event. The feeling of utter helplessness. The way Sunset touched her, her cold hands on her bare body. The way she felt, helpless to the utter humiliation. The fear. The feeling of torment. The feeling of being taken advantage of…

“N-NOOOOOOOO!” yelled Fluttershy.

“Fluttershy?!” Twilight called out. “Fluttershy are you okay!? She placed her ear on the door again, to try and here her.

“No! Embarrassing! Why do I keep remembering it! NO! I’m not a yuri, I’m not a yuri, I’m not a yuri!” Fluttershy’s voice muttered.

Twilight raised an eyebrow. “Yuri?” she thought, “Eh, never mind, I don’t wanna know.” She lightly knocked on Fluttershy’s door again. “Fluttershy? Can you hear me?” Fluttershy’s eyes opened widely as she heard Twilight’s voice coming from her door. She actually came to check up on her?

“Twi?” Fluttershy gasped softly.

“Fluttershy, how long do you intend to keep this up?” she ask.

“…As long as I have to” she replied.

“Aren’t exams starting soon?” Twilight inquired, “You’ve already fallen behind enough. It’s your job as a student to study and get good grades” she continued.

“There’s more to life than studying Twi!” Fluttershy answered, “Now, j-just, GO AWAY!

Twilight was shocked. Did that just come from Fluttershy’s mouth? What was that about? She had never heard Fluttershy speak to her in such away. “Fluttershy, you can’t do that, your grades will slip” Twilight responded

“That’s fine by me!” replied Fluttershy. “I don’t care about grades or college anymore!”

“Oh boy, we are NOT going through with this again Fluttershy!” shouted Twilight. “You already have 4 absences from that commercial fiasco.”

“Who cares!? Not me!” replied Fluttershy.

Twilight was getting irritated. What was up with this attitude? She didn’t know who that girl inside the room was, but it wasn’t Fluttershy. Twilight knocked on the door one more time. As hard as she could. “LOOK HERE MISSY!” she barked, “You will be held back a year if you miss school again! Now GET UP! I MEAN IT!”

“Leave me alone!” Fluttershy whined.

“Dammit Fluttershy!” groaned Twilight. “What exactly do you even plan to do with your life?”

“IT’S MY LIFE, ANYWAY!” yelled Fluttershy, “I DON’T WANT YOU LECTURING ME ABOUT IT!”

Twilight was furious. The time for patience was over. Without hesitation, she lift up her leg, and with one swoop, kicked open Fluttershy door, breaking it half. Fluttershy jumped up from her bed in a panic. She fell to the floor as Twilight stood right across from her with red eyes. She was at her breaking point.

“Why you little…WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?” she shouted. “ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THIS ATTITUDE!?” she barked. “YOU WANNA REPEAT A YEAR! WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT’LL DO TO YOUR FAMILY’S REPUTATION, LET ALONE GRADES AND PERFECT RECORDS!” she continued. “AND NEED I REMIND YOU WHO PAYS FOR YOUR TUITION! WHAT DO YOU THINK REPEATING SCHOOL WILL DO TO YOUR FATHER’S BAK ACCOUNT!?”

“AH! I’M SORRY, I’M SORRY, “I’M SORRY, I’M SORRY! I’M SORRY!” begged Fluttershy. “I’M S-S-S-SORRYYYYYYYYY!"

Twilight clicked her teeth and shook her head. She turned back to look at the door. She sighed. “Great! Now I have to hire someone to fix the door” she groaned. Fluttershy wiped away the tears in her eyes and picked herself up from the floor.

“You just don’t get it Twi…” sniffled Fluttershy.

Twilight turned her head to view her. She doesn’t get what? “Eh?” she muttered. Fluttershy made fists with her hands, and clenched down of them tightly. She tried to hold back her crying, but couldn’t. Twilight’s eyes opened widely.

“You’ll never know how it feels” Fluttershy continued, “what it’s like to be…”

Fluttershy held her breathe, trying to keep her emotions together. She didn’t want to finish her sentence. Twilight felt horrible. It was only 9 hours ago that she learned about what happened yesterday, and she made Fluttershy feel bad instead of making feel better. She knew what she had to do. Taking a deep breath in, Twilight straightened her back, and breathe out. “I do…” she said. Fluttershy was surprised. She slowly lifted her head to view Twilight.

“Y-you do, what?” she asked.

“I know how it feels,” she repeated, “to be…sexually assaulted.”

Awkward silence filled the room the room for a while. Fluttershy and Twilight stared at each other…

“WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!” yelled Fluttershy.

Silence was broken. Did Fluttershy hear that correctly? Did Twilight just flat out said to her the she’s been rapped before? “W-W-What are you talking about!” asked Fluttershy nervously. Twilight slowly removed her glasses, and used her fingers to comb out the hair that was in her face.

“You heard correctly” she answered. “I too know what it’s like to be held down, and ravaged. And by a woman as a matter a fact.”

“W-W-WHAT!” exclaimed Fluttershy. “Wait, you mean…you’ve done a woman, despite being a woman yourself, WITH another woman!?

“Shh…” whispered Twilight. “As much as the next person, yes”. Twilight slowly slipped back her glasses and smiled.

“I don’t believe it!” thought Fluttershy, “She just admitted to something so person like if she was just brushing of praise!”

Twilight continued. “Yes, as an experienced party, I’m telling you this to benefit you.” Twilight leaned in closely to Fluttershy, face-to-face. “You need to stop moping about it” she instructed. “After all, your sister was there to stop it before it REALLY got out of hand. In the end, you’ll realize it was no worse than a mosquito bite.”

“R-Really?” asked Fluttershy.

“Really, really!” replied Twilight.

“T-Then…uh…Can I ask you something” Fluttershy inquired.

Twilight slowly raised an eyebrow. “What is it?” she asked. Fluttershy blushed nervously, placing her hand over her mouth, embarrassed to ask. But she wanted to know.

“Can girls get aroused by having their nipples touched!?” she responded.

“Absolutely” answered Twilight with no hesitation, standing up from her leaned in position and pushing her glasses slight above her face.

Fluttershy gasped. “Even you?” she questioned. Twilight responded with a gentle nod. Fluttershy happily jumped from her bed with joy. “YAY!” she exclaimed. “So I’m not a yuri after all!” she cheered. Twilight stared on at Fluttershy as she chanted on to herself, “I am not a yuri, I am not a yuri!”

“Don’t ask, Twilight” thought Twilight to herself, “Just…don’t.”

“I’m going to head out now, Twi!” said Fluttershy.

“Wait, now?” asked Twilight.

“Yeah, if I leave now, I can still make up 3rd period and have time to eat C-Lunch!” she replied.

Fluttershy got dressed, and headed downstairs to the living room door. She waved to Twilight as she opened the door and went outside. “Bye Twi, see you when I get back.”

Twilight smiled at Fluttershy and waved back. “Bye kiddo, come back safe” she stated. As Fluttershy closed the door and left the driveway on her bike, Twilight quickly began thinking. Rainbow told her everything that happened last that night. They way Sunset assaulted her sister. And there was one thing she couldn’t wrap her finger around.

“Hmm, it’d be one thing if Sunset attacked Fluttershy while she was still dressed in drags, but she did while Fluttershy was back to normal.” Twilight thought. “And after realizing the truth and “supposedly” getting offended and heart broken.” Twilight thought long and hard about this. “Huh, I wonder if we can use this to our advantage?”

*Ringtone...

"Huh? Oh" said Twilight reaching into her pocket to pullout her phone. "Hello? Ah, Rainbow Dash! What is it? Have you finished your TV interview? What...Fluttershy?"

Fluttershy took a deep breathe in and exhaled. The sun was bright, the sky was blue; the birds were still chirping. Everything looked calm and peaceful. "This is really nice weather" she thought, "really relaxing. And it almost makes me forget about You Know Who." Fluttershy walked on with a smile o her face. Twilight was right, she wasn't going to let this incident get her down. She road her bike all the way to the corner of her school. "Whew, best to walk the rest of the way from here" thought Fluttershy.

She hopped off her bike and continued on foot, pushing her bike on the side. When she arrived, and parked her bike by the bike stands, she noticed a large group gathering by the steps of her school. "Huh? strange..." she thought. "I wonder what's going on?" Fluttershy walked over to the crowd. "Oh, uh, pardon me. Excuse me..." she said, trying to squeeze her way through. As she got closer, she could hear voices talking.

"It that her?"

"Who's the one in the sunglasses and hood?"

"Why do you think she's here."

"Where's my camera!"

What were these students talking about? Why are they all gathered here? Is something happening? Fluttershy made it up to the front of line where she was able to finally see why everyone was gathered. They were in awe to see celebrity, Sunset Shimmer at there school. That's right. Sunset? Here?

"Sunset! I Love You!" yelled one student.

"Can I have your autograph." asked another.

"Gosh" said Sunset, "Didn't know I had so many fans."

"Pfft, You should've seen the line I caused when I first showed up" said the figure wearing the hood and sunglasses next to her.

Fluttershy couldn't believe it. Sunset was at her school. "Oh no!" she cried, "S-Sunset, here, why, I...W-W-What, I, how did...Sunset?" Fluttershy was at a lost for words. She was hoping today was going to be a new day. A regular day where she'd go to school, and eat lunch and then hang out with her friends in the Manga Club. But it was all crashing down now. Fluttershy tried to step back and sneak by without Sunset noticing her. Then Suddenly...

"Huh? F-Fluttershy!" a voice called out.

Fluttershy's eyes opened widely as her body paralyzed with fear. She slowly and nervously turned her head. Sunset was looking straight at her. "Oh, Fluttershy! It is you!" Sunset exclaimed. Sunset smiled at Fluttershy and slowly approached her with open arms. But Fluttershy wasn't so happy to see Sunset. Her eyes. Her smile. Her hands. They all brought back horrifying flashbacks. Fluttershy couldn't stay there. She had to run! NOW!

"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" she shouted. Fluttershy quickly jetted away, leaving a cloud of dust in her tracks.

"What? No! Fluttershy, wait!" begged Sunset as chasing after her.

"HEY!" shouted the hooded figure, as she removed her sunglasses. "SUNSET GET BACK HERE! WE AGREED--"

"HEY LOOK!" shouted a student in the group, "The hooded figure! THAT'S RAINBOW DASH FROM THE SONIC RAIN-BOOMS!"

"RAINBOW DASH!" exclaimed all the students.

Rainbow Dash gasped. She quickly slipped her sunglasses back on trying to brush it off. "What, n-no I'm not Rainbow Dash!" she giggled nervously. As she tried to play it cool, a student snuck up behind her and pulled her hood off, exposing her rainbow hair.

"WHOA! IT IS RAINBOW DASH!" the student exclaimed.

Before Dash knew it she was surrounded by screaming fans.

"CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH!"

"Ccan I take a picture of you!"

"I love your hair, who style it?"

"Dash, I love you. My mom is a huge fan, can I please record you saying Hi for her!?"

"DASH! MARRY ME!"

"Oh, not this again!" groaned Dash.

Back to the plot, Fluttershy ran down the city streets trying to loose Sunset. But no matter how far she ran and how fast she went, Sunset was right behind her. "Fluttershy! Stop!" Sunset begged. "I just want to talk to you!" But Fluttershy didn't stop. She didn't trust Fluttershy for one second. She ran as fast as her little legs could go. She wasn't going to look back for a second. "Fluttershy! Please! I'm Sorry!" Sunset shouted. But Fluttershy didn't listen. She ran as fast as she could, but sunset was catching up to her. She was already at arms reach. She reached over to try and grab Fluttershy, when all of a sudden, Fluttershy's adrenaline kicked in!

"Oh! No! You! DON'T!" Fluttershy yelled. Her tiny legs took off running. Like a mighty cheetah, leaving Sunset in the dust.

After 20 straight minutes of running Fluttershy took shelter inside an alley and hid behind a dumpster. She gasped, trying to catch her breathe. She slowly peaked out. "Oh good. I think I lost her" she said. Fluttershy quickly looked at her watch. 1:24. "Oh great, now I missed 3rd period AND C-Lunch!" she cried. Fluttershy was mad. Thanks to Sunset not only was she as late as she had ever been for school, but now she missed lunch. And to top it off. She was lost. "Huh? Where am I however" thought Sunset.

Fluttershy looked down the end of the alley. A straight line, with light at the end. "Oh well, might as well see where this goes" she thought. Fluttershy slowly began walking down the alley to the exit on the other side. All was quiet. Too quiet. As Fluttershy approached the end of the alley, she as stopped by a cat in the middle of the group. "Oh!" she gasped. "Hi there mister kitty" Fluttershy greeted.

The cat didn't move. Didn't even blink. "Hum, I'm Fluttershy, and I need to pass by" Fluttershy said. "So um, I'm just going to..." Fluttershy tried to walk around, but the cat quickly stood up and hissed at her. Fluttershy got startled. "Oh, hey now, It's okay" she assured, "I'm not going to hurt you. Just going to..." Fluttershy tried to go around the other way, but the cat came and blocked her path an hissed at her again. Fluttershy then tried to go the other way again, but the cat blocked off her path and hissed at again.

"Oh come on!" groaned Fluttershy. "Let's see here..." she pondered.

"YOU!" a voice from behind called out.

Fluttershy turned around. There she was. Red and yellow hair. Black leather jacket over a purple sleeveless blouse, and blood red, twitchy eyes. "Oh no" squealed Sunset. Sensing what's about to go down, the cat jumped up in panic, and ran away. Fluttershy turned to the cat as he took off. "Oh, NOW you leave!" she groaned.

"Finally!" said Sunset. "I found you!"

Fluttershy tried to back away but tripped and fell down on her but. Looking up, she saw Sunset slowly approach her. "Oh no. This is it" she thought.

"I'm Done For..."

[Meanwhile]

"Thanks for Picking up Twi" said Rainbow Dash, sitting in the back seat of the family limo.

"No problem" said Twilight as she stopped at a red light.

"Now then..." she added.

Rainbow looked up at Twilight, who turned back to face her face her. "WOULD YOU KINDLY TELL ME HOW THE HELL YOU ENDED UP IN THIS MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!" she barked. Rainbow Dash laid back on the seat with eyes wide opened.

"Well..." she said, "It's a Long Story..."

Chapter: Seven and a Half.

Rainbow looked up at Twilight, who turned back to face her face her. She was not happy. "WOULD YOU KINDLY TELL ME HOW THE HELL YOU ENDED UP IN THIS MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!" she barked. Rainbow Dash laid back on the seat with eyes wide opened.

"Well..." she said faintly, with an awkward grin on her face, "It's sort of a Long Story..."

[2 Hours and 22 minutes ago]

“HELLO~ AND WELCOME TO CHANNEL 15’s 4th ANNUAL STAND-UP COMPETITION!!”

Cheering ensued from a live studio crowed, as cameras and spotlights panned down to the stage below, shining down on our two hosts: both female, and in their mid-20’s.

“I’m your lovable host #1, Bon-Bon!”

“And I’m your Lovable Host #2… Well you already know me.”

The crowd laughed slightly. Bon-Bon shook her head. “Come on Lyra, introduce yourself. Don’t be lazy” she encouraged. Lyra replied with a playful wink; Bon-Bon rolled her eyes. “Let’s just introduce our judges” said Bon-Bon.

“Okay, Bon-Bon” replied Lyra. “And HERE~ they are folks, our lovely panel of judges!”

The spotlight panned over the Judges. 3 of them, all sitting in a row. The crowd cheers as the Judges wave to the crowd. “They’re the same people as last year!” announced Lyra. The audience laughs. The judges turn to Lyra with surprised looks on their face.

“Lyra!” grumbled Bon-Bon playfully.

“Well it’s true!” she replied smugly.

“Well I can’t argue with you there Lyra” Bon-Bon replied. “But in all seriousness, let’s introduce our 2 Celebrity Guest Judges for this event!”

“Great Idea!” replied Lyra.

“Our first celebrity judge”, announced Bon-Bon, “Is a famous little tomboy with rainbow hair.”

“That’s right Bon-Bon” joined Lyra, “She’s rough; she’s tough, but cute and lovable. But most of all, she’s the Lead Vocalist of the popular band the Sonic Rain-Booms. Give it up for, Rainbow~ DASH!”

The crowd cheers as a spotlight shines on Rainbow Dash: reclining on the 4th chair on the judge’s panel, with her feet up on the table. She happily smiles and waves at the crowd. Lyra and Bob-Bon address her.

“We’re so glad you agreed to do this for us, Rainbow Dash” sad Bon-Bon.

“No prob, Bon” said RD with a wink, “I’m happy to be here. I love Comedy.”

“And we love you Rainbow Dash” said Lyra.

“YEAH!” cheered the crowd.

“WE LOVE YOU RAINBOW DASH!”

“Okay,” began Bon-Bon, “And our second guest judge. You all might know her.”

“She’s a fiery haired girl with leather jacket, and a license to sell sports drinks” said Lyra.

“She’s the actress in Canterlot P.I.’s Cora Fireflame, and has been a commercial icon since the day she was in elementary school.”

“Please help us welcome…”

“Sunset~ SHIMMER!”

The crowd roared with praised as spotlights shined on Sunset. The audience was clapping and cheering as Sunset…Sat on her butt in the judges’ panel oddly still with a numb look on her face and did move a muscle?

The cheering slowly stopped. Everything was quiet. A deafly aura of silence filled the room with awkwardness. “Uhh so, we hear you like Stand-up Comedy Ms. Shimmer, care to comment” said Bon-Bon, trying to break the silence. Sunset replied with moan, still keeping that blank expression on her face. Rainbow Dash looked at her with glee.

“What’s wrong Sunset? Rehearsing your lines as an extra for The Walking Dead?” she teased.

Every one laughs.

Sunset slowly comes to reality. “Huh, oh n-no. I’m happy to be here” she slurred. “I like a good joke.”

“Okay, then” said Lyra, “Let’s begin!”

“Okay, folks start by introducing our first contestant…” said Bon-Bon.

As the Lyra and Bon-Bon went on, Rainbow looks at Sunset with an intrigued face. Seeing her rival all disconsolate for some reason gave her a feeling of satisfaction. After all this was the girl who sexually assaulted her sister we’re talking about. Rainbow stared as Sunset slowly slouched on her hair and sighed.

“Hmm, I guess Sunset is going through a little thunder storm” thought Dash. “Couldn’t imagine why?” *smirk.

[Back to reality]

“So, you were making a guest appearance as a celebrity judge in a Stand-Up Comedy completion?” asked Twilight.

“Pretty much” replied Dash.

“And Sunset was there?”

“Mmm Hmm.”

“Well then, keep going,” said Twi, “what happened after that?”

Rainbow leaned back on her seat and rested her head behind arms, looking up at the ceiling of the limo. “Okay, let’s see,” she thought aloud, “After the first contestant, the studio went to commercial break. That’s when I was walking down the hallway to my dressing room…”

Rainbow Dash was on her way to her dressing rooms when she noticed she was walking by Sunset’s dressing room door. Her curiosity was peaked. “Wonder what Sunset is up to?” she thought. After the “incident” that happened, Dash wanted to keep a close eye on her. She slowly approached the door and was about to knock only to be stopped by the sound of voices.

Dash raised an eyebrow. She slowly placed her ear on door to try and overhear the conversation. The voice speaking sounded like a woman’s voice. Sure enough, it was Sunset’s manager, Coco. She sounded a little uneasy. “You need to pull yourself together!” her voice muffled. Dash slowly smirked. This looked interesting.

Inside the dressing room, Sunset sat on a chair in the corner facing the wall. Her manager, Coco, paced the room in a nervous panic.

“I can’t…” Sunset moaned.

“Don’t worry, you’ll be fine” Coco replied, “Besides the event isn’t a live broadcast. I’m sure they’ll edit it to the parts where you’re funny…I hope.”

Sunset sighed softly. Rainbow Dash, still listening through the door, slowly began to frown. “Hmm, what’s gotten into you Sunset? Feeling a little guilt” she thought. Rainbow pondered for a moment, then her smirk returned to her. “Looks like I did a pretty good job avenging Fluttershy” she thought. However, her smirk is about to become a frown again.

“…to apologize…” Sunset’s voiced muffled.

Rainbow slowly frowned as her eyes slowly opened widely. She pressed her ear against the door closer to try and see if she hear right. All was a bit quiet. Then she heard Coco voice replying.

“What?” she asked.

“I want to apologize to Fluttershy…” restated Sunset.

Rainbow Dash was surprised by what she heard. A series of mixed emotions kicked in: empathy, confusion, and anger. She slowly turned the knob to see if the door was unlocked. To her convenience it was not. She quickly swung open the door and stared at Sunset. Coco looked as Dash walked in and approached her client with an angered look.

“And what good would that do now?” asked Rainbow.

Sunset didn’t reply; her back was turned against the wall. Coco stared concern for Sunset. Dash went on, “I bet you don’t even care about her! You just want to ease your guilty little perverted conscience!” Coco gasped.

“Ms. Rainbow Dash!” she cried, “Why would you say that?”

At this point, Sunset slowly turned back look at Rainbow. Dash smirked, “Oh look who decided to show her…” as Dash was about to complete her sentence her eyes caught the attention of Sunset’s. They were blood red, and leaking in tears. Her noise was also stuffy, signifying that she had been crying for quite some time.

“I…I’m a failure as a human being…” she sobbed.

Dash and Coco looked on with devastated faces.

“I’M A FAILURE AS A HUMAN!” Sunset continued, screaming and crying, “I’M A FALIURE AS A WOMAN! MY LIFE AS NO VALUE! MY EXSISTANCE HAS NO VALUE! I’M A DIRTY WORTHLESS PIECE OF WASTE! I’M LOWER THAN GARBAGE~!!!”

“What! W-W-Wait a minute!” Dash interrupted.

She walked over towards Sunset and kneeled down to her position holding her hands together tightly. “You are NOT a lower than garbage Sunset, you’re a great actress, and you work hard at your job!” she encouraged. She wiped some of the tears in her eyes.

“B-B-But, I’ll n-never g-get Fluttershy to forgive me, e-ever!” she sniffled.

Dash rolled her eyes. “Fine! I’ll let you to meet so you can apologize and explain yourself, on one Condition: if I’m there to “Chaperone” you.”

“R-really?” asked Sunset.

“Really,” she said, “I still don’t trust you alone with her.”

Sunset slowly smiled as she wiped the tears from her eyes and gave Rainbow Dash a big hug. “OH THANK YOU! Thank you, thank you SO~ much!”

“ACK! OKAY, OKAY! LET ME GO!” Dash begged.

[Back to the present]

“So long story short, we ditched the show and went to the school to wait for Fluttershy. She showed up, panicked, and ran away. Sunset followed, and I was swarmed by fans, and needless to say…I lost them both.” Rainbow Dash concluded.

“I see,” thought Twilight, “So you have no idea where they are?”

“Nope.”

Twilight clicked her teeth. “I figured this might happened” she said, as she reached under her seat and pulled out a laptop. Rainbow Dash slowly leaned in to see what Twilight was doing.

“Uh, hey Twi, what’s with the laptop?”

“Well, I figured something like this might occur, so I planted a tracking device on Fluttershy’s phone” responded Twilight.

“Really?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“Yes really,” replied Twi, “Let me just load this…and type in her phone number…There!”

“So, where is she?” asked Dash.

“Hmm” pondered Twi, “It looks like she’s in…Canterlot Heights?”

“What? You mean that high end retail shopping district?” asked Rainbow.

“This doesn’t make any sense” though Twilight. “Why would a shy and timid otaku girl like Fluttershy be doing there?”

Chapter: One.

Author's Note

This is a story I wanted to write for Valentine's day. It is loosely based on a manga series called Love Stage!!. If you haven't heard of it, read it, I recommend reading at least chapter 1, or else this story may not make much sense to you. The characters were pitched to me by my friend Plushy (a.k.a. PinkieLunaShy), so I like to give her credit too.

Enjoy the Story.

Chapter: One.

“Somewhere in this world, there is a door. A door that leads to my dreams. I don’t know where that door is. And even if I do, it may be locked. But finding that door is my purpose. Finding the key to open that door is my struggle.

It was a sunny morning, and all was well in my hometown. The sky was blue and the birds were chirping as they flew high in the sky. A small crowd was gathered by the Church in town square. Wedding bells were sounding off, ringing, as the crowd outside slowly stared in awe as the doors to the church slowly opened. That’s when she walked out.

She was a very beautiful woman. Her hair was dark blue. It was very silky and curly. It flew beautifully in the wind as she smiled. And her eyes, her eyes were a beautiful shade of blue, and sparked with the utmost of radiance. And she was dressed head to toe in the most beautiful wedding dress and veil. She was accompanied by a handsome man: tall and brawn, with hair that was a lighter shade of blue. He wore a white tuxedo suit and tie, with a blue corsage on the left side. He smiled back at his bride as the two walked down the steps of the church to the limousine waiting for them in the driveway.

As the two lovebirds reached their vehicle, the bride turned back to the crowed and signaled. It was time to toss the bouquet. All the single girls gathered around behind her, eagerly waiting to catch it. The woman took a deep breath in, looked up at the sky, and smiled widely. The she tossed the bouquet behind her, and quickly turned around to see who’d be the lucky girl to catch it. All the girls reached out into the air, trying to catch it. Up and up it went, and finally down. And the lucky little girl was a short adorable little girl, a young 5 year old girl with red and yellow hair, wearing a bright orange sundress.

She was accompanied by a tall boy with pink hair, around her same age. The two caught the bouquet looked to each other and gave each other big happy, open mouth smiles. The entire audience was in awe. As was the bride and groom. You see, the woman and the man are my parents. And the boy with the pink hair…is me."

Fluttershy reached over her bed across to her to the nightstand next to her, in an attempt to shut off her alarm clock. Slap, miss. Slap, miss. Slap…there it goes. She wakes up with a yawn and rubs her eyes. She reaches back to her nightstand and grabs her glasses. Fluttershy then gets off from her bed, with both feet on the ground and walks over to the corner of her room and smiled at the poster on her wall.

“Good morning…Lunar Luna.” She says. “OH, YOU ARE SO~ CUTE!”

After saying hello to her favorite fictional character (and the $5,035 worth of merchandise in her room) Fluttershy comes down to eat breakfast with her family. Fluttershy was the odd runt of her family. You see, Fluttershy’s family was in show business. Each one of them is a famous celebrity.
Her mother, Rarity, is a former model and actress, and currently the fashion designer for Vogue magazine. Her father, Fancy Pants, started as an actor, now he’s the president of his own company: Esquire Advertisement. He’s an advertisement director. Her little aunt, Sweetie Belle, was an actress as well. Lead role in a sitcom. And her older sisters, Rainbow Dash… Oh man, where to begin:

Lead guitarist and vocalist in a rock-n-roll band. Yeah, that’s right. Meet the family. This is Fluttershy’s family. Fluttershy walked down the steps of the staircase to the hallway, and made her way to the dining room where her family was already having breakfast. Fluttershy walked into the dining room and found her mother and father eating breakfast and watching the TV (as they did every morning).

“Good morning, honey.” Rarity greeted as her daughter walked by her.

“Ah, good morning’ darling, how did you sleep?” asked Fancy Pants.

“Good.” Replied Fluttershy, slowly pulling back her chair

Fluttershy slowly sat down on her seat and stared down at her plate. There stood a Salisbury steak serving of mash potatoes, sweet corn, and macaroni salad. The usual. As she began eating, Rarity jumped out of her seat in enthusiasm, as a commercial for sports drink came on TV. “LOOK! IT’S HER!” she cried, pointing to the TV screen.

There on screen stood a girl with red and yellow hair, wearing black leather jacket and purple blouse shirt.

“Ah, yes. Ms. Sunset Shimmer” replied Fancy Pant. “Heck of actress that girl is.”

“Oh, wow. I’d just do anything to work with her in something.” Rarity sighed.

“Oh, don’t worry darling” replied Fancy Pants, “I’m sure I can arrange something for the two of you.”

Rarity cheered. Fluttershy rolled her eyes and continued eating. At this point, Twilight walked in. Twilight was the family’s manager and Fancy Pants’ chief supervisor in advertisement. She was practically in charge of their entire life, always telling them where they had to be and how much time they had to get there. Fluttershy really didn’t feel comfortable around her.

“Good morning, Sir; Madam” she said as she turned her eye towards Fluttershy. “Ms. Shy?” she said politely.

Fluttershy refused to respond. She shielded her face with her hands and turned away.

Twilight smiled and sat next to her in one of the empty chairs. “I hear they’re auditions being held at the civic center” said Twilight. “They’re looking for actors and actresses for a new TV show.”

“Is that so?” asked Fluttershy, slowly removing her hands from her face.

“I was able to pull a few strings, and I got you a spot for the role of the leading female!” continued Twilight. “Won’t that be fun!?” she asked.

“I say, that’s a wonderful idea Twilight!” declared Fancy Pants.

“Yes, what a marvelous idea!” replied Rarity, “I do think it’s about time you made your debut, Fluttershy.”

Fluttershy’s eyes became wide open with shock. She slowly and nervously turned to her parents. “Wait? What?” she asked with a panic.

“Think about it” said Rarity. “You’ll be the staring in lots of shows and movies, and commercials, and be featured in hundreds of magazines”.

“You’ll be following in your dear ol’ parent’s footsteps” said Fancy Pants.

Fluttershy was shocked. Movies, TV shows, magazines? Debuting as an actor? She possibly couldn’t. She wouldn’t. Especially not after that embarrassing event that happened 10 years ago. Fluttershy slowly slouched herself off her seat as they her parents and Twilight eagerly watched her to await a response.

Before she could respond, Fluttershy phone rang. This was her chance to bail. “OH NO!” she cried. “My phone is ringing! I better answer it in privet.” She grabbed her back pack and ran out the dining room to the hallway.

“BYE, MOM! BYE, DAD! I GOTTA GO!”

“Fluttershy, darling, Wait!” shouted Rarity. But it was too late. Fluttershy had left. “Oh goodness me!” sighed Rarity.

“What are we going to do with that girl’s future?” said Fancy Pants, nodding his head.

“Give it time sir” said Twilight. “She just needs the right motivation.”

Fluttershy ran out the front door and made her way down the path of the sidewalks. She held her phone close to her face to read the caller ID on the screen. It was her sister, Rainbow Dash. She rolled her eyes. “Oh geez, Ignore!” she exclaimed as she hung up the phone.

At school, Fluttershy was the top student in all her classes. She had straight A’s and perfect attendance. And why wouldn’t she? School was her only escape from her house and the constant inconveniency that was her parent’s trying to get her to follow in the family legacy. Fluttershy hated acting in commercials. She hated acting in anything.

Her hatred and fear of acting started back when she a child. Along time ago, she stared in a wedding commercial, with her parents. She was humiliated, because she had to pretend to be a boy for the commercial. She even had to wear a suit and tie. And to make matters worse, she had a co-star with another girl, who was pretending to be her “girlfriend”.

Fluttershy was so nervous, that she peed on herself. Since that day, she vowed never to be an actor, for as long as she lived. That way, she’d never, ever have to relive that horrifying moment. That’s where she found comfort in things like anime and manga. She loved drawing pictures and reading comics. And when she entered high school, she became introduced to Japanese anime.

Fluttershy fell in love with it so much, she even tried drawing it. Fluttershy even aspires to become a manga artist someday, like Tia Celeste, writer of her favorite manga series, Lunar Luna. Only problem was, Fluttershy was horrible at drawing. There were some things she could do that were easy for her. And looking at references and base sets seemed to help her. But overall, her skills were mediocre.

“Darn!” shouted Fluttershy as she crumbled another sheet of paper.

“Let me guess. Didn’t come out right?” asked Applejack.

“Uh, No!” exclaimed Fluttershy as AJ padded her on back.

“You’ll get one day kid” assured AJ. “You’ll get it, sooner or later.”

That’s Applejack. She’s a friend from my manga club. We don’t talk much, but I still consider her a friend in my book. Aside from her, there was also Spike, Derpy, and Bulk Biceps. Not much happened in the manga club. AJ and I talked a little bit about anime, but overall we are usually pretty quiet with each other. Spike and Bulk always seemed to be arguing about which characters would win in a fight against one another. And Derpy, well…I guess she’s just there. She never seemed to do anything, really.

I always practice drawing. Sometimes I feel like I never practice enough. I draw every day. It keeps me calm. And I enjoy it. I usually draw things like wildlife: trees and animals and all, especially animals. I love drawing animals. If only I was good at it.

“DARN IT!” shouted Fluttershy as she once again crumbled another sheet of paper.

After school, Fluttershy went to the comic shop to check if the latest issue of Magical Wish Guardian: Lunar Luna was out yet. That was her whole schedule: Wake-up, Dress, Breakfast, School, Manga Club, Comic Book Store, Home, Anime/Manga, Shower, and Bed. Or at least that’s was it was supposed to be. Fluttershy had no idea what she’d be in for when she gets home.

Fluttershy opened the door to her house and walked inside the living room. “I’m home” she said. As she stepped inside the living room area, Fluttershy saw her mother and father sitting on the couch, with Twilight standing next to them.

“Welcome home, darling!” announced Rarity.

“Take a seat Fluttershy. Your mother and I have something spectacular to tell you.” continued Fancy Pants.

Fluttershy nervously walked over to the living and took a seat across from her parents. She twiddled her thumbs slowly and gulped. She knew what was going on. Her parents found a role for her, and they staged an intervention to convince her to go for it. She sat on the couch nervously waiting to hear what her parents were going to say.

Rarity began: “Fluttershy, sweetheart…”

“Y-Yes…” answered Fluttershy.

“Do you remember that adorable little wedding commercial you did with us back when you were 7?” she asked.

Fluttershy widened her eyes gulped. Her eyebrows raised in fear. “Y-Yes, I r-re-re-remember” she replied nervously.

“Well…” started Fancy Pants, “The wedding company I’m working with has just hired me to reshoot a new commercial for them.” He continued, “A 10 years later version of the one they did 10 years back.”

“And the best part of all, they wish to use the original actors who played the little children!” exclaimed Twilight. “Isn’t that amazing!? You get to work with your old friend again!”

When she heard that, Fluttershy was less than excited. Her body was in full-fledged fear. Her mouth was wide open. Her eyes were widely opened. She crossed her legs and clenched her fists tightly, biting her lower lip. She began to hyperventilate.

“Oh look, she’s speechless!” announced Twilight.

“Looks like someone is excited to get started!” declared Fancy Pants.

"OOOOH, I CAN'T WAIT!" Rarity cheered. "I can't believe I'm finally going to get to work with Sunset Shimmer!"

"WAIT A MINUTE!” shouted Fluttershy.

An awkward silence filled the room. Rarity, Fancy Pants and Twilight all stared at Fluttershy. Fluttershy awkwardly stood up from the couch and nervously gripped the collar on her shirt. “I can’t because I…I’m…I’m uh, a GIRL!” said Fluttershy nervously. Rarity and Fancy Pants looked at each other with confusion. “Yes, don’t you all remember?" continued Fluttershy, "I played a boy in the commercial.”

"Oh that's right!" exclaimed Fancy Pants, slapping his forehead. "I completely forgot."

"Oh, but I was really excited to work with Sunset Shimmer!" Rarity mopped.

"So what?" asked Twilight. "Why should that stop you from doing the commercial?"

"So What!?" Fluttershy exclaimed. "Twilight, I may have been able to pass for a boy back then, but there's no way I can pass for one now!" Fluttershy continued, "Look at me!"

Twilight stared at Fluttershy and pondered for a moment. Then she slowly approached her. She walked around her, slowly and carefully examining her. Fluttershy nervously backed away as Twilight continued to stare at her. “Uh, Twilight?” asked Fluttershy, “What are you…AH, TWILIGHT!”

Twilight reached out towards Fluttershy and patted her on the waistline, and then her chest. “Hmm” said Twilight, “You don’t have a curved waistline and you’re still pretty flat chested” she declared. She smiled at her and returned to Fancy Pants and Rarity. “All she needs is a haircut, or maybe a wig, and I still say she can pass for a boy 100%” Twilight stated.

“Then it’s settled then!” cheered Rarity.

“Oh, such joy! Our daughter, a star again!” exclaimed Fancy Pants.

Rarity and Fancy Pants got up from their couch and began dancing together. They were happy to hear that Fluttershy could be in the commercial, but there was just one thing. She really didn’t want to.

“WAIT!” Fluttershy shouted. “W-Why me! Can’t they use someone else to play the boy?”

“Actually” said Fancy Pants, “It was the request of Ms. Shimmer.”

“WHAT!?” cried Fluttershy

“Yes. She said she remembers you, and wants to work with you specifically.” Fancy Pants continued.

“But I…I…”

“What’s wrong Fluttershy?” asked Rarity, “Aren’t you excited?”

“N-No! I can’t go through with this!” she relied.

“WHAT!?” exclaimed everyone.

“Fluttershy, this is a crowning moment for you” said Twilight, “This is your chance to debut and become a superstar. To SHINE, all over Hollywood.”

“I’m sorry Twilight, but I can’t. I won’t!” Fluttershy declared.

“Oh No!” replied Twilight angrily. “No! NO! NO!!! I have worked TOO hard to get you auditions Fluttershy! TOO HARD!” shouted Twilight. “And now that someone else is requesting you, REQUESTING YOU, to perform with them, YOU STILL WON'T DO IT!?”

“Uh…yes” replied Fluttershy nervously.

Twilight snapped. She gripped Fluttershy by her collar and pulled her closer. “LISTEN HERE YOU UNGREATFUL BRAT!” she shouted angrily, “I WORK TOO HARD, YOUR PARENTS WORK TO HARD, TO GET YOU TO MAKE SOMETHING OF YOURSELF!”

“I…I uh” said Fluttershy nervously.

“WHY DO YOU FIGHT US WHEN WE TRY TO GET YOU TO DEBUT ON SHOE BIZ!? WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE!!?” shouted Twilight.

Fluttershy nervously pondered for a moment as Twilight angrily stood in front of her. Fluttershy nervously gulped and looked around the living room. There, on the coffee table, stood one of her Lunar Luna mangas. Fluttershy slowly smiled and looked directly at Twilight.

“I’m going to be…a MANGA ARTIST!” she declared.

Awkward silence filled the room again. Twilight slowly released Fluttershy and stared off in a daze. Rarity and Fancy Pants were confused. Fluttershy's smile slowly turned into a nervous frown, as she waited to see if Twilight would respond. Still staring off into a daze, Fluttershy waved her hand over Twilight's face, to see her reaction. Nothing. Then, after a long minute, Twilight slowly kneeled on the floor and began to chuckle.

“A Manga Artist!?" she cried out with laughter. "I've seen the way you draw Fluttershy. With your skills you’d be lucky to even be accepted into the Art School!”

“I know I can do it if you just give me a chance to, Twilight.” Fluttershy declared.

“NO!” she exclaimed. She stood up and leaned closer towards Fluttershy. “Listen to me Fluttershy! You are member f High class. You were destine to an entertainer. Not an OTAKU! It’s time you GROW UP, and forget about this STUPID! ANIME! MANGA ARTIST! NONSENSE!"

Fluttershy and Twilight stood their staring at each other. Fluttershy in shock, and Twilight in anger. A moment of silence filled the room again. Rarity and Fancy Pants were horrified. This was a side to their manager they never saw.

“Uh, Twilight? Dear? Are you okay?” asked Rarity.

Twilight, slowly closed her eyes and started breathing softer. She was calmer now, but the damage was already done. She looked at Fluttershy, who at this point was already on verge of tears. Twilight felt awful. “What have I done?" she thought to herself. She slowly reached out to Fluttershy to try and make up for what she said.

“Fluttershy, I didn’t mean to…”

Fluttershy ran off before she could finish her sentence. Leaving Twilight alone. “Fluttershy, wait!” exclaimed Twilight. But it was too late. Fluttershy ran out of the living room to the stairs and locked herself inside her room. Twilight fell to the floor, and began pounding the ground with her right hand. “What have I done!” she cried.

“Now what?” Rarity asked.

“I was hoping not to involve her,” said Fancy Pants, “but it looks like were that desperate.”

Twilight slowly got up and turned to Fancy Pants. “Sir, you don’t mean…”

“I’ll go call her right now” said Fancy Pants.

The next morning, Fluttershy didn’t even stop for breakfast. She just got dressed and went off to school. It was early in the morning. First period had just started. Fluttershy sat next to Applejack with her face buried into her math book. Applejack shook her head and patted Fluttershy on the back.

“Aw, come on. Can’t be that bad?” asked Applejack.

“Yes it was!” replied Fluttershy, “She really hurt me! I never want to see her ever again!”

“You’re so sensitive, ya know that?” teased AJ.

Meanwhile outside, a black limousine pulled into the school parking lot and parked. All the students ran towards the limo and stared, waiting to see who was inside. Finally, the back door to the limousine opened up. Out came a tall young woman with rainbow colored hair. She wore a blue denim jacket over a black t-shirt, blue skin tight jeans, with black army boots, and sunglasses. Her hair was tied in a ponytail, and she was carrying a backpack and what appeared to be a guitar case. The students all stared in awe. They never saw someone like her on their campus before.

Back inside the classroom, the teacher continued lecturing as AJ continued to cheer up Fluttershy. With no luck, if I may add.

“Ya know she didn’t mean it, right?” she asked.

“Yes. She. Did!” replied Fluttershy.

“…Well, look at it this way” continued AJ, “At least your situation can’t get any worse.”

As AJ said that, the door to the classroom swung open. There stood the woman from the parking lot. She slowly walked in and removed her sunglasses. The teacher and all the students stared. Fluttershy slowly looked up and saw the horror. She couldn't believe it.

“Oh no” she said to herself. “Not her…”

"Hey!" shouted one of the students. "I know her! That's Rainbow Dash, from the Sonic Rainbooms!"

"You mean the lead guitarist and singer of the Sonic Rainbooms!?" asked another student.

The whole classroom was in awe. It wasn't every day a celebrity came into their classroom. The teacher slowly got up and approached Rainbow Dash. "May I help you?" she asked. But RD didn't answer. She slowly panned the room. Humming.

"Let's see" she said to herself. "Where are you?"

Rainbow looked around the class room right to left, up and down. Then her eye finally caught a glimpse of the third row, where the girl with long pink hair, had her face buried into her math book. Rainbow Smiled. She recognized that pink hair anywhere. "FLUTTERSHY!!" she shouted happily. Fluttershy slowly up from her desk with her face blushing in embarrassment.

“H-Hi Rainbow Dash…” Fluttershy nervously replied.

Rainbow Dash ran over towards Fluttershy and gave a big hug and span her around in her arms, smiling. “Oh Fluttershy!” she exclaimed, “My little sister! It’s been so long!” Rainbow squeezed Fluttershy in her arms tightly and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

“Dash, you’re embarrassing me!” exclaimed Fluttershy.

“Hey, wait a minute” said one of the students. “That’s Rainbow Dash! Lead guitarist and singer of the band Thunderbolt!”

All the students stared with awe. They found this to be a touching moment. "Aww, how sweet!" said one of the students. However, Fluttershy was not in awe. Her sister was embarrassing her in front of her whole class. She pushed Rainbow Dash aside then grabbed her by the arm and dragged her out of her class room into the hallway. Now in privet, the two began talking.

“Why are you here!?” asked Fluttershy.

“What? Can’t I just drop by and say hi to my favorite sister?” asked Dash.

Fluttershy raised her eyebrows.

“Okay, fine! Mom and Dad called me!” she said.

“It’s about the commercial?” asked Fluttershy.

“Yep” replied Rainbow. “Come on sis. You have a great opportunity going for you. Why won’t you take it?”

“Because I won’t alright!” exclaimed Fluttershy. “It’s not something I enjoy doing.”

“Are you sure you won’t even consider it?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“NO!” shouted Fluttershy. “I refuse to do the commercial and nothing you say or do will convince me otherwise!”

Fluttershy angrily crossed her arms and turned away from Dash. With a sly smile on her face, Rainbow Dash took of her backpack and unzipped it.

“Gee,” said Rainbow Dash, “that’s too bad. I guess that means I have to take this back to the store then.”

Rainbow dash reached into now opened backpack and pulled out a small doll like toy. Fluttershy slowly turned around and saw it. It was a Magical Wish Guardian: Lunar Luna action figure. Fluttershy was shocked.

“W-WAIT! Is…Is that a…”

“A limited edition series 4 Lunar Luna collectable action figure with moveable parts? Yes it is!” Rainbow Dash stated. “It even comes with its own trading card.”

“AH! GIMME! GIMME! GIMME!” exclaimed Fluttershy.

“Not so fast!” said Rainbow Dash, as she pulled the figure away. “THIS, is a reward.”

“A reward?” asked Fluttershy.

“If you agree to do the commercial for mother and father, then this figurine is all yours.” declared Rainbow Dash.

“Oh, I don’t know Dash” Fluttershy said. “What if I botch the shoot?”

“Before you make a final decision,” continued Dash, “Let me show you one more feature you may enjoy.”

Dash showed Fluttershy the back side of the figurine, revealing that it had a button on the back of the head. When Dash pressed the button, the Lunar Luna figurine talked.

“I am the protector of dreams and wishes! Defender of the night! I am Lunar Luna! Magical Wish Guardian!”

“WOW!” exclaimed Fluttershy, “It talks!?” Her eyes lit up with excitement. “But I thought the talking figures were only an exclusive in Japan?” she added.

“They are. But I have a friend in Tokyo who owed me a favor” said Rainbow Dash. “So what do say?” she added, “Will you do it?”

Fluttershy pondered the Idea for a moment. She hated acting, ever since her childhood trauma. Then again, she also LOVES Lunar Luna, and the series’ creator, Tia Celeste. She walked around for a while, thinking. Then she took a deep breathe in, and turned to Rainbow Dash. With a soft sigh, she replied.

“I’ll do it!” she uttered.

“HOORAY!!” exclaimed Rainbow Dash.

“I mean, I do like to cosplay sometimes” Fluttershy added. “Dressing up in a suit and tie is sort of cosplaying, right?”

“Absolutely!” replied Rainbow Dash. “Besides, what’s the worst that could happen?”

Meanwhile, in another city, a group of people crowded the entrance of a local movie theater. The paparazzi snapped photos and people cheered as a young teen actress walked down the steps of the theater to the limousine waiting for her. She waved to the crowd and smiled as security held the crowd back and slowly escorted the young actress.

Though it’s not professional to state the obvious in a story, I can undertake that you all know who this young actress is. Her name was Sunset Shimmer. And she as a well know actress in both TV, and Commercial. As Sunset entered the limousine, her manager was waiting for her.

“Hello Ms. Shimmer” said her Manager. “I have some wonderful news.”

“Yes, hold on” said Sunset as she closed the door and turned to the limo driver. “Hey, Saul, step on it!” she ordered.

“You got it Ms. Shimmer!” Saul replied.

“Sorry about that Pommel” said Sunset. “You were saying?”

“Ah yes,” Pommel continued, “I received a message from the wedding company and CEO of Esquire Advertisement. We are good to go on the commercial!”

“Wait! What!?” she exclaimed.

“He agreed to do it” continued Pommel, “You’ll get to see him again, just like you wanted.”

Sunset slowly laid back on her seat and stared at the ceiling. Her eyes were wide open. She slowly turned her head to stare out the window. Then a slight smile appeared on her face. She reached into the pocket of her leather jacket and pulled out an old photograph.

There showed an image of a young Sunset, being accompanied by a small boy, with pink hair, wearing a suit and tie and with his face buried behind his hands, turning away, as the little girl giggled. A tear slowly fell down Sunset’s face. She then began to think to herself.

“I can’t believe it. He said yes. He actually said yes…Finally. After all these years I’m finally going to get to see him again.”

Chapter: Three.

Fluttershy couldn't believe what was going on. She kissed her! She actually got kissed a girl! She was in a state of utter horror. Rarity and Fancy Pants watched in shock. Twilight slowly looked away and exited the room. She plugged her ears with her fingers and counted. She knew what was about to come.

"3...2...1..."

"YYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGG!!!!!!!" yelled Fluttershy.

She was in complete detest. She ran out of the ballroom, covering her face with her hands; crying and screaming. Everyone stared as Fluttershy ran outside of the commercial set. Sunset stood there alone in the altar, with a look of shock and sadness. What did she do to displease her? "Was it something I did?" she thought to herself. Rarity and Fancy Pants shield their faces in embarrassment.

Twilight slowly peaked her head inside. Every one was confused, staring at one another. Then they all turned their attention to Twilight. She took a deep breathe in, smiled and walked inside. "Sorry about that, everyone" said Twilight with a nervous grin on her face, "My client is an...uh...a "Late Bloomer", so to speak." She laughed nervously.

As Sunset sat on steps of the altar, Twilight walked up to her. She offered her a hand, and helped her up. "Please forgive my client, Ms. Shimmer" she said softly. "He's not use to being with a girl of your good looks." Sunset wiped the tears from her eyes, and smiled. At this point, Fancy Pants approached Twilight.

"Twilight," he whispered, "Go check on her."

Twilight nodded. She went off to go check on Fluttershy. Meanwhile the camera crew were busy packing up. "Okay people that's a wrap!" announced the Director, "Looks like we'll have to make with what we got."

Sunset pondered to herself. Was that it? Was he just embarrassed? Sunset really didn't think he'd be embarrassed about being kissed by a girl. Then Sunset overheard a conversation between Rarity and Fancy Pants.

"Oh my, this is a disaster" said Fancy Pants. "That was NOT in the original script."

"Oh dear, and to think, that was the poor dear's first kiss." replied Rarity.

"First Kiss?" though Sunset. "Off Course" she exclaimed.

Sunset happily stood up and smiled. "That's what was wrong" she continued, "I didn't do anything unappealing. He was just shy about me kissing him." Sunset marveled about this for a moment, then it hit her. "Oh no, he was shy about me kissing him." Sunset slapped her forehead. "Gee, his first kiss and after that whole fiasco we've been through those 10 years back." Sunset knew what she had to do. She ran out of the ballroom and went off to find Fluttershy.

Meanwhile, back in her "Dressing Room", Fluttershy had her face planted flat on the surface of her dresser. Twilight patted her back, trying to calm her down. "There, there" she said, "It's not all that bad."

Fluttershy slowly lifted her head and turned to Twilight. Her face was in complete anger. Her upper lip was pulled back into a pout. "Not that bad? NOT THAT BAD!!!" she cried, "I GOT KISSED BY A GIRL!!!!!" Fluttershy buried her face into her arms went back to crying. Twilight rolled her eyes. She knew she was just being melodramatic.

"Look on the bright side" she said.

"What bright side?" asked Fluttershy.

"At least it can't get any worse."

At that moment, Rainbow Dash walked inside. Yep, RD. Things just got worst. "Excuse me," she said "I'm looking for my sis-TAH..." Rainbow Dash immediately caught eye at Fluttershy. Her now short haired sister wearing a tuxedo. She was shocked. "F-Fluttershy? Is that you?" she asked. Fluttershy nervously turned to her and nodded. Rainbow ran towards her and gave her a big hug!

"OH WOW, FLUTTERSHY!" she exclaimed, "I hardly recognized you!"

"How the hell did you even get in here, Rainbow Dash!?" asked Twilight.

"I have my ways" said RD with a sly smile on her face.

-Outside 31 minutes earlier-

Rainbow Dash approaches a security guard who is guarding the front entrance. The guard looks at her with a suspicious face. "Hey, can I go inside?" asked Rainbow Dash. The guard pondered for a moment and then replied.

"Fine," he said, "But NO funny stuff!"

"Okay" replied Rainbow.

"Remind me to fire that security guard" said Twilight.

"So, what you doing here sis?" asked RD, "Shouldn't you be at the on set?"

Fluttershy didn't answer. She was too embarrassed. RD turned to Twilight and asked what was wrong with her. Twilight bite her lip nervously. Looking away from Rainbow Dash she made a kissing jester with her hands. RD was confused. "I don't get it" she said. Twilight slapped her head. She slowly approached Rainbow and softly whispered into her ear. "Wait, What?" replied Rainbow Dash with shock. Twilight whispered into her ear again.

Rainbow was in a daze. A shock. She could believe what she heard. After a brief moment of silence, her dazed and shocked look, turned into a sly grin. She bit her lip trying to stop herself, but couldn't resist. First snickering, then chuckling, and finally, she came out bursting with laughter.

"IT IS NOT FUNNY!!!" shouted Fluttershy angrily.

"YES IT IS!!!" laughed Rainbow Dash, "YOU KISSED A GIRL!!! BWWAA-HA-HA! HA-HA-HA!"

"STOP IT!!" demanded Fluttershy.

"RAINBOW DASH!" scolded Twilight, "THIS NO WAY TO BE TREATING YOUR SISTER AFTER WHAT HAPPENED TO HER!"

"Hey come one Twi! It's hilarious!" she replied.

"It's not that funny!" pouted Fluttershy, crossing her hands together.

"Hey lighten up Fluttershy. I'm only teasing" said Rainbow Dash.

"It wasn't funny!" pouted Fluttershy.

"Correct me if I'm wrong," said Twilight, "But shouldn't you be one tour in England?"

"Oh, yeah, my flight got cancelled, so I thought I come here." replied Rainbow.

"Oh great" groaned Twilight.

"So, who was the lucky bride?" asked RD.

"Not now Rainbow" complained Fluttershy.

"Sunset Shimmer," replied Twilight, "She's a well known TV and Commercial actress."

"You mean the girl who sells the sports drinks and deodorant sprays?" asked Rainbow, "Oh man, what a bummer."

"It's weird though, I don't remember a kissing scene in the script" said Twilight.

As Twilight pondered this, a knock came from the door. "Wonder who that could be?" thought Twilight. She slowly opened the door and peaked outside. Guess Who? Sunset Shimmer. She had a nervous look on her face, clutching her heart in anxiousness. She was blushing red and breathing slowly, trying to control the butterflies in her stomach.

"May I speak to him?" she asked.

Twilight turned to Fluttershy. She was in utter fear with her eyes wide open. Wave her arms back and forth. "NO! NO! NO!" She whispered softly. Twilight. Slowly turned back to Sunset with a nervous smile. She didn't know what to say.

"Umm?"

"Please, I just want to speak to him!" she begged.

"Well..."

"I see" said Sunset with a disappointed look on her face, "I'll just go then. Tell him that...I'm sorry."

Twilight couldn't control herself. "WAIT!" she called out.

Sunset stopped in her tracks and slowly turned around. "What is it?"

"What are you doing!?" exclaimed Fluttershy softly.

"She just wants to talk to you" Twilight replied.

"Oh~ FINE!" groaned Fluttershy.

Twilight opened the door to the room wider. Standing behind her was Fluttershy. Sunset was speechless. Fluttershy nervously walked up to Sunset nodded. "H-Hello" she said. Sunset smiled. She was glad to hear HIS voice. Fluttershy, looking away, nervously asked why she was here.

"Oh, well, I..." Sunset froze in her dialogue for a while. Then she cleared her throat and spoke. "I want to apologize. I didn't know it was your...first time."

Fluttershy turned to sunset with surprised look in her eyes.

"You think that maybe...we can start over?" asked Sunset.

Fluttershy nervously bit her lip and turned her eyes away. She could answer. Sunset hung her head in disappointment. "I see" she said sadly. "I guess this is goodbye then." As Sunset turned to walk away, Fluttershy called out to her.

"Sunset wait!"

"...You already made your point!" cried Sunset, "I can take a hit!"

"No it's not that I just...uh...HERE!"

Fluttershy held out her hands. Right there on her palms rested the little marble that gave her. Sunset looked at the marble and gasped. "My good luck marble" she cried. "I almost forgot."

"Th-Thanks for...Loaning it to me" said Fluttershy. "And despite what happened...I...I, uh..."

"What?" asked Sunset.

"I...I, uh, uh~! I HAD FUN WORKING WITH YOU!!"

With a gasp, Sunset's heart began pounding with joy.

"I enjoyed spending time with you. It was fun. And I'm sorry too, for my behavior" continued Fluttershy. She gently grabbed Sunset's hand and placed the marble on the palm of it. As she walked off, Sunset stopped her, and gave her back the marble she had returned to her. Fluttershy was confused. "I don't get it?" she said, "This is your marble. I'm returning it to you."

Sunset began to tear up. She smiled and leaned in closer to Fluttershy. "Keep it," she said, "I want you to have it."

Fluttershy was surprised.

Rainbow and Twilight peeked from the door and began eavesdropping on them.

"What's going on now?" asked Rainbow.

"Something about a marble I guess." replied Twilight.

"You're, giving me your marble?" asked Fluttershy.

Sunset wiped the tears from her eyes and began to explain herself:

"Those ten years ago when we first met was the best day of my life. When I saw you, I felt something I have never felt before. I fell in love with you face. I fell in love with your eyes. I fell in love with your clumsiness. I fell in love with your awkwardness. But mostly, I fell in love with you."

Fluttershy gasped.

"Whoa!" said Twilight.

"Wow, this is better than those wrestling rivalries" whispered Rainbow Dash.

"Things have been rough since we parted" continued Sunset. "I became really nervous as I continue my career as a actor. There were times I wanted to quit. But I never did, because...well, because of you. Believe it or not, but You helped me become the actress I am today. It wasn't just my good luck charm, but what it made me remember about you."

"About me?" asked Fluttershy.

"Your eyes."

"My eyes?" asked Fluttershy.

"Your eyes match the color of my marble. They reminded me of you. Every time I felt nervous, I would just looked at marble and remembered you. I never stopped wondering about you and how it may be if I every was to see you again. I dreamed that one day, one day soon, I would see you again. And now here we are."

Fluttershy's eyes were wide open. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Because of her, and those 10 years ago when they met, she fell in love with her. And ever since then she's been hoping to see her again. Now what was she going to do? She can't keep this act up going forever! But if she tells her now, she'll be heart broken. "Oooohhh" groaned Fluttershy, nervously biting her lip.

"Oh man, this is better than cable TV" whispered Rainbow Dash.

"SHH! I'm trying to hear!" replied Twilight.

Fluttershy tucked her arms behind her back and crossed her legs. Nervously looking away from Sunset. She tried to speak, but she couldn't. What was she to say? Sunset's smiled slowly turned into a frown. "Look," she continued, "I'm not asking you to go out with me. I just want to know if maybe...we can start over?" She slowly reached out and held Fluttershy hand. Fluttershy blushed red. She was scared.

"Oh no!" she thought, "She's touching me! TOUCHING ME!"

"Please" begged Fluttershy. "I...Want to get to know you."

"UUUUHHHH, AAAHH, RRRRHG, UUUHHMMM" mumbled Fluttershy nervously. She out of lose with words.

"OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!! JUST SAY NO ALREADY!!!!!!" Rainbow Dash's voice boomed out of the dressing room doors.

"What the heck!?" shouted Sunset.

"Rainbow Dash, NO!" exclaimed Twilight, trying to stop her before she went out.

Too late. Rainbow swung open the door and angrily walked over to the two of them. She wrapped her arms around Fluttershy and stared menacingly at Sunset. "Look her Ms. Pretty-Face!" shouted Rainbow angrily, "It's a touching story. Really. Made me cry for a bit," she continued, "But you need to get over it because YOU and "HIM" it's not happening!"

"Rainbow Dash!" yelled Fluttershy, "What are you doing!?"

"Stopping my sister before she does something STUPID!" she replied.

Sunset immediately caught ear. Did she just hear that right? Sister? "Umm, excuse me!" she asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Rainbow Dash slowly turned her attention towards Sunset. She released Fluttershy from her arms, placed one hand on her hip. Sunset looked back at her with crossed arms and a raised eyebrow. "I am Rainbow Dash!" she replied, "And I'm her SISTER!" Sunset's eyes were wide open. This person was the sister of her dream crush? And more importantly, did she just call him a "HER"?

"Did you just called him a HER"? asked Sunset.

"Wow," said Rainbow Dash, "You are slow!"

Twilight ran up to Rainbow and pulled her aside. She nervously smiled at Twilight and apologized. "I am most sorry, Ms. Shimmer!" she said, "Please forgive my, umm...secretary for her behavior." Rainbow turned her head at the mention of that.

"SECRETARY!! YOU WISH, BUB!!" she yelled.

"Rainbow Dash! Please, not now!" she scolded.

"Oh-ho, yes NOW!" she muttered, "Yes!" she continued, turning her attention to Sunset. "I am HER sister! And yes, I did call "HIM" a HER!!"

"Rainbow, stop!" begged Fluttershy, "Don't do this!"

"Sorry Fluttershy!" replied Rainbow, "But its for her own good."

"What are you talking about?" asked Sunset. "Did you just call her Fluttershy, by the way?"

"Yeah! That's her name!" replied Rainbow Dash.

"But...That's a...Girl's name?" said Sunset nervously.

"Oh really?" said Rainbow with a sly look on her face. "You don't say!" she continued. She slowly approached her sister from behind and gripped the onto her belt and slowly began to unfasten the buckle. Fluttershy was shocked.

"AAH, Rainbow Dash! What are you doing!" she squealed.

Fluttershy tried to struggle out of her sister's grasp, but failed. Rainbow unfastened her belt buckle, unzipped her pant's zipper, and pulled down her pants. Twilight was shocked. Fluttershy was blushing red like a tomato, completely engulfed in embarrassment. Sunset was horrified. Rainbow Dash slowly turned her attention to her and smiled cockily. "Funny you should say that, Sunset" Rainbow continued. "Really Funny you should say that!" Just when Fluttershy was embarrassed enough, Rainbow gripped the bottom of Fluttershy's dress shirt and pulled it up, revealing her pink panties.

Sunset eyeballed them with utter horror. She could believe what she was seeing. First, referring to him as a Her, then his name, Fluttershy, and now pink panties. And not to mention a noticeable lack of a "Johnson". Sunset's heart sank. She slowly fell to the floor. On all fours. She began to cry slowly.

"I don't believe it!" she said to herself, "Was my Handsome Knight a Girl this whole time!!?"

Fluttershy was shocked. She was so shocked she couldn't move. Rainbow kept smiling slyly at Sunset. Her cocky attitude towards this was something she was going to milk out. Twilight was in complete terror. She ran towards Sunset and tried to explain herself.

"Ms. Shimmer!" she said with a nervous giggled, "I...I, I know this looks bad...But I--"

Before Twilight could finish, Sunset slowly got up and gripped on to the collar of her tie and dragged her close towards her. "NO!" she yelled, "You know what, I don't care." She released Twilight from her grip and walked over to Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. "This, never happened! Okay!?" Rainbow replied with sly smiled and a nod. Sunset slowly turned Fluttershy. Her dazed look only made her more angry. "And YOU!" she said, "I never want to see you again, for as long as I LIVE!!!"

Sunset angrily turned away and began walking off. Her eyes watering with tears, and her teeth grinding hard. Twilight nervously smiled at her as she felt the hallway and disappeared. Then she slowly turned to Rainbow. "Do you have ANY IDEA what you've DONE!!!" she said in a panic. "If word gets out, we are THROUGH!!"

"Pssh, lighten up Twi!" said Rainbow Dash, "She' won't tell nobody. It'll ruin her reputation as well. Besides, who she goanna tell? Right Fluttershy?"

"UUUUUUUUUUHHHHH" moaned Fluttershy. She was still in a daze.

"Oh, let's hope you're right Rainbow" said Twilight nervously.

Meanwhile, back on set, Rarity and Fancy Pants sat by the altar and watched as the entire crew was packing up. Rarity was upset. She could believe that her first job working with the amazing Sunset Shimmer, would turn into a complete disaster at the end. "Oh great!" she muttered, "Out of all the things something like this could've happen, why today!?" she moaned. Fancy Pants wrapped his arms around her and padded her back.

"There, there darling, it will be okay" he cheered. "It could've been worse. At least no found out about...Fluttershy." Fancy Pants smiled at Rarity. Rarity slowly looked up and smiled back at her husband and hugged him back as well.

"Well, you're right" she replied, "It would a real nightmare for us if anyone found THAT out."

"Yep" he answered, "Good thing we were extra careful to make sure of it."

Meanwhile outside, Sunset was entering her limo as film crews and paparazzi mobs tried to take pictures and answer questions. Normally this would bother Sunset, but right she was in an emotional state. She moved the gang of gathers aside, and boarded her limo as the crowd of people kept snapping photos. "Get us out of here, Saul!" she yelled at the driver as she boarded.

As the drove off and exited the convention hall parking lot, Sunset could stop thinkin about him...eh, Her. This whole time, her crush was girl. She couldn't believe it. This whole time, those 10 years ago, she has had feelings for a...a WOMAN!? Sunset buried her face into hands and began screaming.

"I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!" she cried, "THIS WHOLE TIME, HE WAS A GIRL!!! SICK LITTLE PERVERT!!"

"Calm down ma'am" said Cocoa, "At least it's over. You never have to see her again."

Sunset slowly looked up from under her hands and smiled slowly. She turned to her assistant and smiled. "Yeah," she replied, "it's done. I'm through with her." She slowly allowed her self to recline back on her seat, with arms tucked behind her head. "Good riddance. I never have to work with her ever again" she marveled.

Never have to work with her again, ay Sunset? Don't make promises you can't keep.
