“We’re going to the beach! We’re going to the beach!”
“Girls, ah know yer excited for goin to the beach, but yall need ta keep it down. Twi’s already lost as it is.” Applejack looked over to the three girls putting on sunscreen and couldn’t help but smile. She couldn’t blame them for getting too excited, it was only their second time ever going to the beach.
“I’m not lost!” Twilight squeaked, reaching up to adjust her glasses.
“Take a left.” Rarity hit a couple buttons on her phone trying to figure out the directions to the beach, as Sunset opened the small window from the bed of Applejacks truck.
“Hey Twi, I can see the water. Just turn around and keep going straight.”
Sunset sat back down in the bed, and continued her conversation with Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy, while Twilight performed a u-turn. Twilight had been driving so that Applejack could sit in the back seat in order to keep three certain twelve year olds under control. Rarity called shotgun so she could give directions.
Ten minutes later, they finally arrived in the parking lot. “Thanks Sunset. Now let’s go!” Twilight jumped up slightly as Rainbow handed her, her bag.
“Seriously Twi, why is your bag so heavy?” Rainbow mumbled as Twilight took it from her.
“I just have a couple research supplies.” Twilight insisted holding the bag close to her chest before Rainbow snatched it back and started going through it. Rainbow took out Twilight’s water, towel, and sunscreen and put the stuff in her own bag, before locking Twilight’s in the back seat of the truck.
“Hey”
“No Twi.” Rainbow cut off the whining girl by pointing a finger at her. It was low tech, but effective. “I have plans for you and Sunset, so let’s get going already.” Pouting, Twilight reluctantly started heading towards the water with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle.
Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Scootaloo grabbed their surfboards out of the back of the truck before joining the others. After they managed to find a spot in the sand, they set up the beach chairs and laid out their towels. Feeling satisfied with the set up Pinkie handed her board to Twilight while Scootaloo handed hers to Sunset.
“What do you want us to do with these?” Sunset asked curiously, running her hand up and down the waxy board.
Pinkie laughed as she sat down with Fluttershy to start building sand castles. “You ride on them silly.”
“Come you two, you’re going to learn how to surf.” Smiling Rainbow handed them each a polyester shirt.
“Put them on, they’re called rashguards. They will protect you when you fall, and from the sun.” Rainbow just looked Sunset up and down and shook her head. “Still can’t believe you wore a bikini when I warned you not to.”
“Now before we go in, put the leash on. It prevents you from losing your board.” Undoing the velcro, Sunset and Twilight put theirs around their ankles, while Rainbow put her’s mid calf.
Running into the water, Twilight let out a high pitch shriek as the water hit her legs. “It’s cold!”
“Duh! The ocean is cold.” Smirking, Sunset reached down and splashed some water onto Twilight’s face. Twilight quickly returned the gesture before slowly going deeper into the water.
“Lay down centered on your board then to paddle, cuff your hands and as hard as you can thrust your hand into the water, then pull it straight back.” Sunset and Twilight watched as Rainbow went through the movements.
After a multiple failed attempts, a couple falls, and some light towing for Twilight, they finally managed to gett the hang of it. A sense of accomplishment washed over Sunset and Twilight as they passed through the impact zone, and into calmer water.
“Now time for the fun part.” Rainbow called out while looking over her shoulder. “How to catch a wave. When you see the wave forming, you’re going to want to paddle as hard as you can. When you feel the board's tail lifting up, push yourself up and find your footing. I know this is your first time, and you can’t be as awesome as I am, so don’t worry if you fall. Here comes your first wave, hope you guys are ready.”
“Yes!” Sunset started paddling as Twilight shook her head rapidly. Sunset continued to paddle until she felt the tail rise, pushing herself up she underestimated the power of the wave and face planted in the water, while Twilight just duck dived under the wave.
“Sunset! Are you alright?” Twilight yelled going over to her friend, as Sunset managed to get to her board again. Sunset started coughing violently for a moment before looking over to her friend.
“Yeah, I’m good Twi. Just swallowed some water when it rolled me. Finally getting her breathing under control again, Sunset started laughing.
“That was a lot harder then I expected.” Hoisting herself up onto the board, she couldn’t help but watch Twilight’s face turn crimson as she let out a small squeak. Twilight turned around and covered her face with her hands.
“What’s wrong?” Twilight pointed down and Sunset let out a scream. “My bikini bottom...where is it?!” Jumping in the water, she quickly dove under only to realize that she couldn’t see anything.
“It must have gotten knocked off by the wave.” Twilight started to peek through her fingers, finally lowering her hands when she knew that she couldn’t see Sunset’s lower body anymore.
“Eep!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll figure something out.” Twilight looked around hoping to see any sign of the missing bathing suit.
“No, that’s not it. These stupid fish are biting me! I know I need more exercise, but this isn’t exactly what I had in mind.” Jerking every couple of second, Sunset spun in circles trying to swat the fish away to no avail.
“Hey Sunset! Get back on your board. You can’t quit because of one fall.” Rainbow paddled up by then, before sitting up and wringing out her hair. Rainbow watched Sunset’s face suddenly redded, her eyes wide as she glanced to Twilight.
“Ok, I feel like I’m missing something.”
Twilight let out a little giggle. “It’s not you that’s missing something.”
“Twilight!” Sunset shrieked, hitting her head on the surfboard. Rainbow and Twilight burst up laughing, as Sunset let out a groan. “Now I know why you said no bikini. Hey thanks, you scared the fish away”
“Let me go see what I can find.” Looking behind her, Rainbow saw a wave forming. “After one more ride.” Paddling off, the girls could hear Rainbow starting laugh again before doing some flips off the top of the barrel. A couple minutes later, the wave died and she finally managed to get back to shore.
“Wait. Hey Twi, she isn’t going to tell anyone. Is she?” Looking over to Twilight who had been adjusting her glasses again, the elastic band she had tied around the arms to keep her glasses from falling off had tangled in her ponytail.
Watching the shore they both noticed their rainbow haired friend running up to their little group, and a second later half of them fell down laughing.
“Nevermind.”
“Hey Sunset. This might sound a little weird but I have and idea.”
Sunset swam over to Twilight and rested against the board. “I’m scared to ask, but if it gets me home without anyone else seeing me naked, then I’m in.”
Twilight involuntarily looked away, rubbing her hands together meekly before taking a deep breath.
“Well my bathing suit is a one piece, it’s just keyhole shaped. I’m just wearing my board shorts so that the salt water won’t cause a rash. I know the shorts are too small for you, but I can give you my one piece. It’s stretchy so It’ll fit you, and I’ll still be covered between my shorts and the rash guard.” As Twilight finished explaining, her face turned a deep red as she started making little circles in the water with her hand.
“So essentially you are going to get undressed in front of me, so that I can take your bathing suit? Correct?” Twilight nodded slightly, as Susnet thought about the offer for a moment.
“Well at least this isn’t the first time we’ve seen each other naked. I’m honestly surprised that you reacted like you did. I mean that experiment…” Sunset was cut off by a face full of water, as Twilight splashed her.
“You’re making it sound like we did something bad! All we did was compare our bodies for differences caused by interdimensional travel, and the similarities from transforming into demons. The way you’re saying it, it just sounds awkward.”
Jumping into the water in case the others looked their way, Twilight started taking off her shirt and shorts. Handing the clothes to Sunset so she wouldn’t lose them, she started to take off her bathing suit. Shivering, Twilight handed Sunset the bathing suit, while she took her clothes back. Holding the shirt in her mouth, Twilight pulled up her shorts, and was about to put her shirt back on when she noticed Sunset handing her the bikini top.
“It gets pretty uncomfortable for girls in one of those shirts without something else on.”
Nodding, Twilight accepted the top. Sliding the top string over her head she turned around so Sunset could tie the back. “Thanks.”
“I should be the one thanking you Twilight.” Sunset giggled as she finished pulling up the bathing suit.
“Can we go back now please? I’m freezing.” Twilight pulled herself back up on her board and started paddling towards the shore.
“Yes please. I need food.” Sunset got back onto her board and quickly joined Twilight, before realizing the Rainbow had been coming back to them.
“Sorry Sunset, I couldn’t find...isn’t that Twilight’s?”
“Well I’m not going to go back without anything on.” Sunset started paddling around Rainbow.
Rainbow looked over to Twilight who could only grin before heading towards the shore again. “I was just going to tell you that you look hot in it!” Rainbow yelled before turning around and joining them.
The three girls felt the wave lifting up their surfboards and decided why not. Pushing themselves up, Rainbow managed to catch the wave and started showing off her tricks. Sunset smiled as she actually managed to stay on for a few moments, while Twilight was just thrown off.
“Not bad Sun. Might just make a surfer out of you yet.” Rainbow chuckled as she joined the group. “Also Twi?”
Biting her lip, she backed away a little “Yes?”
“Stick with books egghead.”
“No problem.” The rest of the way back to the shore had been relatively quiet, except for a soft giggle from one of them.
“Darling, why are you wearing Twilight swim suit?” Rarity held her hand to her mouth so that Sunset couldn’t see her smiling.
“I know you all know, so just let me have it. I would also like to remind you that I have information on all of you that I’m more than happy to share.”
“And here ah thought ya weren’t evil anymore.” Applejack laughed looking Susnet up and down.
Sunset and Twilight sat down on the towels and started taking the leashes off, while Rainbow just laid down on her board next to the chairs.
“Speaking of evil, where’d the troublesome three go?” Rainbow asked looking around the beach.
“They’re getting lunch.” Fluttershy explained while she added more sand to the castle her and Pinkie had been working on.
“Actually, here they come.” Twilight pointed in the direction of the pier, as the three girls walked their way.
“Hope you’re hungry!” Scootaloo called out running up, and handing everyone a container with a burger and some fries.
Rarity noticed Sweetie Belle going right over to her bag, and messed around with something inside. Walking over Rarity saw that Sweetie had a notebook, and was writing something down while giggling.
“Sweetie, may I inquire what you’re doing?” The sudden voice making Sweetie Belle jump.
“Oh, it’s nothing. Why don’t you go eat before Rainbow steals your burger?” Sweetie grinned as she pointied to Rainbow eyeing her box.
“Don’t you dare touch that Rainbow Dash!”
After returning home from a long day at the beach, Sweetie Belle sat down at her desk, setting her notebook down as she turned on her computer.
“Ok...Fimfiction.net. Username Notebelle Lover, password Crusader.” Sweetie mumbled to herself as she filled in the information.
“Yay, I’m in. Now new story. Hmm title. How about 2 girls 1 ocean. Now, it’s a comedy, random, and romance. It’ll be completed, and characters are Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer. Ugg what do I put as a description? How about...After a day at the beach alone, Twilight and Sunset discover something they have been oblivious to since Twilight transferred to Canterlot High. That’ll work. Now copy...and paste in long description. It’s rated teen, and now create story.
It was their last spring break before college, so Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer decided to take a trip to the beach. It was the two of them since everyone else had been working to catch up on homework, after the excitement of the Friendship games.
Sunset grabbed the two surfboards that they borrowed from Scootaloo and Pinkie Pie, while Twilight grabbed their bags out of the back of the car.
“Ready Twi?” Sunset asked walking towards the water. Looking behind her, she saw Twilight just staring at the beach still next to the car. “Are you alright?”
“Yeah! I’m fine.” Giggling nervously Twilight started playing with a strand of her hair. “I guess I’m just a little bit nervous now that we’re actually here. I’ve never surfed before.”
Walking over, Sunset placed her hand on Twilight’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, you’ll do great, and remember...I’m right here.”
Twilight reached up and put her hand on top of Sunset’s. “Thanks.” Glancing down, she couldn’t help but look over Sunset.
Why does she have to be so nice to me! This is so confusing. I mean what if I make a move and she doesn’t want me like that. Things will be so awkward. Then what would our friends think?
“Come on, I’ll show you what to do.” Taking Twilight’s hand, Sunset started leading her towards the water. Sunset couldn’t help but smile, looking at what Twilight was wearing. Twilight wore a one piece keyhole bathing suit with board shorts, while she just wore a simple bikini.
Twilight followed Sunset into the water, letting out a high pitch shriek when the water made contact with her legs. “”It’s cold!” Shivering, Twilight laid down on her board and started paddling, copying Sunset’s actions.
Stop being so adorkable Twilight. It’s making things really hard on me. I mean you’re my age, but you remind me of a filly that you just have to love. We can’t be together though, we’re just friends. Right?
“Ok Twilight. This is how you duck dive. It’ll help you when we get to the impact zone.” Twilight couldn’t but stare at Sunset and the way the water made her glow. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, Twilight practiced the duck dive a couple of times before paddling ahead.
“Awesome job Twi. I knew you’d be a natural.” Sunset couldn’t help but blush noticing her friends rosy cheeks. “Ok, I’m going to show you how to catch a wave now. You need to watch closely because the movements are quick. Plus knowing you, you’ve already researched how to do it. I don’t think I need to explain it.” Laughing as Twilight meekly shook her head no, Sunset looked over her shoulder to see a wave forming.
Laying back down on her board, Sunset started paddling. Twilight watched Sunset carefully, absorbing every detail. Every movement of her body, every curve, every muscle flex. Twilight’s blush depended as she watched the wave die down, and Sunset going back over to her.
“Were you able to see me alright?” Twilight nodded as her heart raced.
I would give anything to watch that again. Or even just be with her on that board. The way she moved was beautiful. Oh please do it again.
“You ok Twilight? Are you getting to hot, because you can always jump in the water to cool off.” Sunset leaned over her board to touch Twilight’s forehead. She was warm, but not enough to make her act like this.
She’s so cute when she acts like this.
“Mm hmm.” Twilight tried to form words, but her dry mouth didn’t want to work. Smirking Sunset kicked her leg out, knocking Twilight off her board.
“Hey! What was that for?” Twilight shook her head, while trying to wipe some of the water off her glasses.
Oh, so that’s how it’s going to be.
Sunset couldn’t help but laugh. “Sorry. Thought you needed to cool off.”
I love it when she gets flustered like that.
Smirking, Twilight went underwater. Sunset started to worry when her Twilight didn’t come up right away, until she felt something hit the bottom of the surfboard knocking Sunset backwards into the water.
That little parasprite. Stealing my move.
Swimming back to the surface, Sunset grabbed onto her board and began coughing violently. She had accidently swallowed some water when she fell.
“Sorry I had to.” Twilight giggled.
Please don’t tell me that I went to far. I was just playing.
Why does she have to be so cute? I think she’s doing it on purpose just to tease me.
“Not cool Twil.” Sunset giggled while splashing Twilight. Noticing Twilight start to go underwater, Sunset grabbed her arm and pulled Twilight over to her board.
“Get on my board.” Twilight nodded as she hoisted herself up, as Sunset pulled herself onto the other side.
“Thanks Sun…” Twilight’s eyes went wide as Sunset leaned in, her lips touching Twilights. Twilight pulled away for a but never broke the kiss. A couple moments later she finally allowed herself to relax and lean into the kiss, catching Sunset by surprise for a moment.
Both girls wrapped their arms around each other, getting lost in the moment. It wasn’t until a couple minutes later that they finally pulled apart, with a gasp. Fresh air rushed into their lungs, as they attempted to calm their breathing.
“Wow”
She feels the same way! Eeeep!
Idiot! You want her to like you, not think you are trying to attack her!
“Twilight, I’m so sorry. I...I don’t know what came over me, I think it was just a spur of the moment thing, and you were…” Sunset was cut off by another kiss.
“You’re starting to sound like me.” Twilight giggled as she broke the kiss. They looked each other in the eye, both blushing furiously, “so I guess I’m not the only one who feels this way?” Twilight asked, sheepishly rubbing the back of her neck.
Sunset couldn’t help but smile as she shook her head. “Nope. Although you were very adorable when you tried to hide it.” Leaning in Sunset gave Twilight a quick peck on the cheek. Realization set it as their normal colors returned.
“So what now?” Using the leash Twilight pulled her board over to her, and transferred onto it.
“Still want to go to dinner later tonight?” Sunset offered while mentally slapping herself.
This is going to fast, you’re going to freak her out
“I wouldn’t miss it for either world.” With one last kiss they headed back to shore, very happy.
“Sweetie Belle. What are you doing?” Rarity sing songed as she stuck her head into her little sisters room.
“Nothing.” Sweetie nervously giggled while minimizing the window, as Rarity tried to see her screen.
“Sweetie Belle.” Rarity deepened her voice to make it sound more firm, and at that point Sweetie knew she didn’t have a choice. Standing up, she allowed Rarity to sit down and open up the tab.
“Fimfiction. I don’t believe I’ve heard of it before.
“It’s a story website about us and our families! The FIM means friendship is magic. You can find fictional stories about anyone at the school on there, and there are a couple involving our families. There are even a couple with some of the Crystal Prep students.” Sweetie opened another tab so she could go to the home page for Rarity, and not lose her story.
Immediately Rarity noticed one tagged Rarity and Big Macintosh. Opening the first chapter, Rarity red about a fourth of it before her white face turned crimson. Grabbing a piece of paper from Sweetie’s desk, she scribbled something down that Sweetie couldn’t quite make out, before running to her room. Sweetie closed her door before returning to the computer, and closing the tab.
“Don’t even want to know what that story was about. Ok, now to edit.”
Rarity ran into her room, making sure to close the door before going to her computer. “Alright now, Fimfiction.net. Now I need to sign up...hmmm username. Gems Chick should do…”
