Chapters "So...Osiris," The guy kneeling next to Sunset started "Who was that girl you were with today?"
Sunset was sat on the ledge of a building over looking Canterlot. She turned her head slightly and glanced up at him. He had dark brown hair that stopped at the back of his neck,the fringe slicked back into a quiff . He had stubble plastered across his jawline with some growing around his mouth. He also had some mutton chops that he insisted were 'cool' and 'the fashion'. He was slightly shorter than herself which she constantly mocked him for but what he lost in height he made up for in build. Sunset shrugged before looking back at the skyline.
"She's a friend,"
"Is that how she wants it to be or how you want it to be?"
"Does it matter,Fox?"
"In order to keep this converstion going and stop me from killing myself from how bored I am then yes," Fox spoke with a smile. Sunset raised both her eyebrows slightly and let a small, sarcastic smile form across her lips.
"I mean I wouldn't hate if you did kill yourself right now," Sunset commented.
"Bitch,"
"Cunt,"
"Prick,"
Sunset let out a chuckle,waving a hand before leaning back on both hands "I don't know what I want from her. But I won't force her into anything,"
Fox stared at her for a few seconds then stood up and streched with a slight grin.
"So what you're saying is that I can go for her?"
"No."
"But you said-"
"I will cut your dick clean off," Sunset growled,flicking her wrist and holding the now exposed hidden blade to Fox's crotch. Fox froze up and paled,gulping slightly as he practically shot backwards to cover his junk.
"Message recived..." He spoke shakily,looking at her. Sunset was looking at him over her shoulder with narrowed eyes before she flicked her wrist inwards,putting the blade back in its holster. She lowered her hand to her side and looked down at the city below her before a voice spoke into her ear piece.
"Osiris, Fox. Templars have been spotted at Canterlot library. They must be looking for the scroll. Stop them." The voice stopped after that. Sunset stood up and streched until she heard a click,flipping her hood up and spinning on her heel to look at Fox.
"Ready?" She asked only to see a smirk under his hood.
"Always."
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
"Boss said it would be here, keep lookin' " One of the Templar goons said with a grumpy tone.
"You know its wrong to steal!" Sunset called out,sitting on a chair in the darkest corner of the Libary.
"You heard the lady. Now leave before you fella's get hurt," Fox spoke from the other end of the Libary,though he stepped out into the light to provide a distraction. The Templar's looked at each other and just laughed,all 8 of them looking at Fox with huge,smirks.
"You think a couple of Assassin's can stop us? You are so-" The man who was clearly the group leader stopped as a blade stuck out between his eyes. He started to splurt out blood before he vomited up what seemed like a whole litre and collapsed to the floor. The rest of the goons let out a cry before forming a circle,whipping out guns from the holisters attacted to the side of their chests.
"C-come out!" One of the goons spoke shakily,taking a few steps back only to collide with something that he was certian wasn't a bookcase. He gulped and turned around slowly,coming face to face with Sunset. The only thing he could see was her devious grin from under her hood before she flicked both her wrists past the goon's throat,the skin on his neck splitting open and gushing out blood like a fountian. She stepped to the side slightly as his body collpased to the floor and looked towards the 2 other goons at were with the one she just killed. She had noted that they didn't notice their colleague and took them out quickly with two throwing knives straight through their heads like she had done with their boss.
She let out a short,low laugh at them and looked up only to go pale as she saw one sneaking up behind Fox.
"Fox look out!" Sunset yelled which became both a curse and a blessing. Fox heard her and was able to counter the sneaky bastard but she had caught the attention of one lone Templar who had been hiding this whole time. Sunset was so focused on Fox that it was too late for her to react the lone Templar whipping out a long knife and slashing her diagonally across her chest.
Sunset let out a loud cry as she collasped backwards,hunching forward and gripping her chest in agony. She quickly snapped out of her pain induced trance as she heard footsteps walking towards her. Scrambling around,she managed remove the gun from the holster on the side of her hip in time to aim up,see it wasn't Fox and fire one shot that travelled straight through the lone Templar's head. She let out a shaky breath and dropped the gun as the guy fell backwards,now lifeless. Sunset looked around to find Fox but he was nowhere in slight. Thats when it clicked and Sunset felt anger overflow inside her.
"That fucking asshole let me to die to save his own skin! " Sunset thought to herself as she tightened her hand into a fist.
"Fuck!" She screamed into open air,picking up the gun and throwing it across the Libary although instantly regreted it as the excruciating pain came back. She hissed and placed a palm on her chest only to grimace at the sight she saw when she removed her hand. Even on her gloves the red liquid showed up boldly. She knew she couldn't go to the hosptial. What would she say? The firey haired girl thought for a moment then it came to her. Twilight! She lived near the Libary! Sunset knew that by going to Twilight she'd have to tell her,her secret but it was either that or she bled out so she went with the former and started to pull herself up,using a bookcase for support. She took a deep breath and began to slowly but surely make her way to Twilight's.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Sunset stopped in front of Twilight's house and knew damn well that there was no way she could just waltz in through the front door. Keeping a hand on her chest, Sunset made her way around the left side of the house and saw the metal stairwell on the outside. She looked up and saw a light on so that would mean Twilight was still awake.
"Good. Progress," Sunset spoke to herself before looking around with slightly narrowed eyes, her eyes setting back on Twilight's bedroom window "Thank god noone heard that,"
Sunset did her best to be quiet as she made her way up the stairwell until she finally stopped in front of the window at the top,looking inside to see Twilight resting her head on the palm of her right hand and spinning a pen around the thumb of her left hand. Sunset couldn't help but smile at the sight but shook her head and removed her hood,focusing on the whole reason she came here. She breathed in and knocked gently on the window.
Twilight jumped slightly at the noise and spun her chair to look at the window to see a waving Sunset outside. Twilight tilted her head,her mouth slightly open in shock.
"Please let me in," Sunset mouthed from outside,her face screwing up in pain which didn't go unnoticed by Twilight,who quickly rushed over to the window and opened it,looking at Sunset with concern. Sunset gave her an awkward smile.
"I can explain. But you gotta help me first," Sunset spoke,her words wobbling slightly as she removed her arm from her chest to reveal the massive wound that cause Twilight to gasp in horror.
"Jesus christ,Sunset!" Twilight shout whispered,slipping Sunset's right arm around her own shoulders. The bookworm managed to get Sunset into her room without making too much noise,setting Sunset on a arm chair by her bed. Twilight started breathing heavily in exhaustion before glancing at Sunset who was looking at the ceiling as if it was the most intresting thing on the planet right now.
"I can feel you staring at me," Sunset said after a few seconds,bringing her head down to look at Twilight who was still staring but also listening "I said I'll explain everything after you help me cause honestly I'm starting to feel really tired and thats not good,"
"R-right! Helping..." Twilight said jumping to attention but still kind of nervous,confused and scared. None the less she walked into the bathroom that was connected to her room and came out about 10 seconds later with a bottle of water and a a couple of face cloths.
"Okay,Sunny I need to remove your.." She paused for a moment to look over Sunset's outfit "..outfit,"
Sunset just nodded and pushed herself up,wobbling slightly but managing to keep on her feet. She removed the coat that was now ripped and let it drop,carefully removing the waistcoat she wore under the jacket then finally she tore off the bloodsoaked button up top that was underneath as it was pointless keeping it now. Sunset stood in her boots,bottoms and bra,which was cut down the middle but help up,in front of Twilight. Twilight tried to fight the blush that was rising to her cheeks as she pushed Sunset gently back down onto the arm chair. Twilight noticed the arm brace on her arm and raised an eyebrow as she saw metal on the otherside of it but elected to asked about that along with everything else later on. Pulling a stool over,Twilight sat down in front of Sunset and began wetting one of the cloths with water from the bottle then got to work,dabbing the wound gently which earnt a wince and a loud hiss from Sunset. Sunset gripped the arm chair tightly as she let out a breath of relief,closing her eyes and sinking into the chair slightly.
Twilight glanced up at from what she was doing to look at Sunset,biting her lip. The moonlight shone through the window and gave Sunset a slight glow.
"Do you like what you see?" Sunset spoke with her eyes still closed. Twilight snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Sunset and let out a small sigh.
"Why wouldn't I? You're attractive," Twilight responded cooly. This got Sunset's attention and she opened one eye slightly to look at Twilight,who was back to focusing on her wound.
"You think?"
"I know now be quiet I need to concentrate,"
"But thats so bor-" Sunset got cut off when Twilight put her free hand over Sunset's mouth,glaring at her tall friend. Twilight stood up off the stool and sat on Sunset's lap all the while keeping her hand over Sunset's mouth. Sunset eyes widened and she felt heat rising to her cheeks from the position they were in. Twilight however was no longer giddy but quite annoyed.
"I said be quiet." Twilight said firmly,removing her hand from Sunset's mouth finally and getting back to work cleaning Sunset's injury. Sunset had to chew on her lip as she was both uncomfortable and slightly turned on by how forward Twilight was being. For the sake of her life she obeyed Twlight's wish and kept quiet besides the odd noise of distress and pain she made here and there.
"So you want to explain how this happened?" Twilight asked,wetting a clean cloth and putting the bloody one aside. When she didn't get an answer straight away she looked up to see Sunset staring out the window while biting her lip. She raised an eyebrow then remebered what she had said "You can speak now,"
Sunset turned her head to look at Twilight and instantly felt a pang of gulit and uncertianty tug at her heart when she looked into her friends violet eyes. They always held a sense of peace and happiness in them even since the friendship games which only made this whole situation harder because she didn't want them to lose that feature. But she had made a deal and intended to keep her end.
"I'm Osiris." Sunset said flatly with a blank expression. Twilight looked at her with her mouth in an 'o' shape before letting out a loud laugh.
"I may be going insane but I just heard you say you were Osiris," Twilight contiuned to laugh,holding her sides. It wasn't until Twilight looked up at Sunset and saw her emotionless expression that her laughter died down and she went pale.
"You...you aren't kidding...are you?"
"No," Sunset responded calmly before contiuning "And now that you know that you can't tell anyone and I mean that Twilight. Not Shining,not Cadence,not your parents, not even the girls. Nobody."
Twilight didn't know how to feel and just looked at her with shock and hurt. Twilight put the wet cloth and bottle of water on the table by Sunset and got up off of the assassin's lap,turning her back to her. Twilight slipped her left hand to her mouth and covered it with the sleeve of her jumper,the other hand making its way around her stomach to grip the elbow of her left arm. Sunset looked on at Twilight before speaking.
"You wanted an answer,Twilight and I gave you one. I was fighting against an evil organisation in Canterlot Libary so they couldn't get their hands on a scroll that could complete destroy Canterlot as we know it,"
That last part got Twilight's attention. She turned slightly to look on at Sunset as the firey haired girl contiuned.
"Believe it or not Twi, I'm part of the good guys. It may not seem like that but I am," Sunset spoke again,starting to push herself up. Twilight started to walk over to help her but Sunset stopped her by putting her hand up,standing up fully. Once she was sure she was balanced, Sunset placed a hand over her heart.
"I promise you,Twilight. I promise on my life that I am doing whats right and for the good of the people no matter what the media says about me," Sunset said shakily,her voice wobbling as tears began to appear around the brim of her eyes. This didn't go unoticed by Twilight. The purple haired girl turned full to face Sunset and walked up to her. She looked up before gently enveloping her taller friend in a hug. Sunset was caught off guard by the hug but was quick to return it,placing a hand on Twilight's head that now rested on her chest. Ignoring the rising pain in her chest,Sunset rested her chin atop of Twilight's head before her hand moved down and rest on the bookworms back.
"I'm sorry,Sparky..." Sunset whispered,closing her eyes as she let a few tears drop. Twilight didn't seem to mind,removing her head from under Sunset's chin to look up at her and cupping her cheek,her thumb rubbing her skin softly.
"It's okay,Sunny. I-I understand," Twilight replied as her own tears began to fall.
After the heartfelt moment both girls pulled away and looked away with their faces slightly red. Sunset was about to say something but her stomach let out a loud growl. Twilight let out a small giggle before looking over to Sunset once again.
"Ugh I could eat a small village right now,"
"Would you like something to eat?"
"Please Twi,"
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Sunset was stuffing in all different types of snacks at once and Twilight could only watch on it shock and slight digust.
"So um.." Twilight stopped talking when Sunset,cheeks full to the brim of food,looked up at her with a curious look "..you going to tell me more about this organisation you're in?"
Sunset chewed a bit more and swallowed what food she had in her mouth,looking down at what was left and shuffled through the selection before giving a reply.
"Twilight. If its not on a plate,it can wait,"
"...I don't even know how to respond to that," Twilight said mostly to herself with a very quizzled look. Twilight opened the bag she used to smuggle all the food up to her room in and took out a roll of bandage "When you're done eating I'll help you put this on,"
Sunset was about to open another packet of food but put it done when she saw the bandage in Twilight's hand "Lets just do this now,"
Turning so that her back was to Twilight she unclipped her bra and let it fall to the floor. Twilight was too invested in Sunset's wellbeing now that she didn't even care if Sunset was bare breasted.
"I'm going to put them from shoulder to hip on each side then around your breasts is that alright?"
"So quick to make the first move,Twi. I haven't even taken you out to dinner yet," Sunset replied sarcasticlly with a grin. Twilight however, was not in the slightest bit amused.
"You know I could just as easily let you bleed out again and let you die," Twlight said firmly only to know she'd gotten through to Sunset when she heard the firey haired girl gulp.
"Y-yeah that'll do j-just fine..." Sunset stuttered in responce before Twilight got to work on patching up her friend.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
"Can't believe it. I fight corrupt,weapon weilding bad guys on a regular basis and I get scared into shape by a bookworm," Sunset commented as Twilight had finally finished wrapping Sunset in bandages.
"I know, that's gotta blow," Twilight laughed as she flopped back on her bed,putting her hands behind her head "Also tomorrow at school, would it kill you to maybe get along with Flash?"
"it probably would kill me yes. You know I hate him with a burning passion. I'm gonna-"
"Sunset no," Twilight cut her off,pushing herself up and leaning back on her arms as she looked at Sunset with an unamussed look.
"You didn't even know what I was gonna say!"
"Yeah I'm sticking with no,"
"You're a bitch,"
"Yeah but a bitch who just saved you from dying," Twilight smirked,doing a little sarcatic wave "You're welcome,"
"Blow me,Sparkle,"
"Practically impossible,"
"For fuck sake," Sunset groaned,rubbing her temples before flopping onto the next which Twilight did as well once again. Sunset looked over to Twilight,who felt her gaze and turned her head as well.
"Thank you,Twi," Sunset said softly,leaning forward and placing a gentle kiss on Twilight's forehead. Twilight shot up and went bright red,covering her face,as best she could with her glasses on,with her sleeves. Sunset let out a low chuckle at this and pushed herself up,standing finally after a while and streching until she heard Twilight mumble something into the cotton of her jumper.
"What was that,Sparky?"
"What...what was that for..? The kiss...?" Twilight asked carefully after removed the sleeves from her face,peering over the rim of her glasses at Sunset. The firey haired girl just shrugged as she started to put her waistcoat and jacket back on.
"My way of saying thank you for basically saving my life tonight. Don't think too much into it,"
"Well now that you've said that I'm going to think too much into it!"
"Nerd," Sunset mumbled but still loud enough that Twilight could hear. The purple haired girl just shot Sunset a bored look and Sunset just gave her a shit eating grin. After finally getting all her clothes back on,Sunset started to make her way to the window but stopped when two arms around around her midsection from behind and she felt two breasts press into her back. Sunset's arms dropped to her side as turned her head as much as she could to try and look at her short friend.
"Be safe,Sunset," Twilight spoke into her back loud enough so that Sunset could hear. Sunset let a small smile curl onto her lips as she placed her hands over Twilights and leant back into her slightly.
"I will,Twi. For you,I promise I will,"
Author's Note
I was gonna extend this chapter more but decided that the last line here was a good finishing point.
"Remeber what I said about being nice to Flash?" Twilight reminded Sunset as they walked up the front path towards the entrance of the school. Sunset looked over at briefly at Twilight while she was rubbing at the rest of the make up around her left eye that covered her scar to take it off before looking at the entrance again.
"And do you remeber what I said I would do to him if he even tries to be a cunt?"
"Language,Sunset!"
" 'language,Sunset' " Sunset mimiked mockingly while rolling her eyes back inside her head and stuck her tounge out,her face returning to normal after a few seconds "Fuck that guy,"
"Sunset have you noticed all you ever do is bitch?" Twilight asked with a very bored look on her face, Sunset just shooting her an 'excuse you' type look.
"I'll have you know I happen to bitch the perfect amount for someone in my situation," Sunset smiled sarcastically before opening the double doors of the school,holding one open for Twilight. Twilight sighed but couldnt help but let a small smile grace her lips.
"Well at least you still have your manners,"
"Only for you,Sparky," Sunset winked causing Twilight to go red slightly and playfully push Sunset,who just laughed. Once she stopped laughing,Sunset walked with Twilight to music class. They both entered the classroom and the first person to speak up was of course the one person she wanted to kill. Flash.
"Ugh look who it is!" He yelled loudly with a smug grin though she wasn't phased by him in the slightly,especially with a bandage going across his nose and a very noticable bruse "And look at her fake scar thinking she's hot shit!"
"Okay first off this scar is as real as they get and second of all I will destroy you-" Sunset stopped,taking a large step towards Flash,who took a couple of steps back while trying not to show his fear before Sunset contiuned.
"-my left fist will go down your throat,my right fist will go up your ass then I'll meet them in the middle and play your heart like a fucking accordion," Sunset finished with both fists raised,glaring at Flash before looking him up and down with a scowl "Now give me your coat,"
"This is a man's coat.." Flash replied,gripping the trench coat he was wearing as a pose to his normal jacket.
"Yeah but I don't see a man do I? I see a reject from the Sound of Music." Sunset commented and was about to make a move but Twilight gripped her arm. Sunset looked at Twilight with a raised eyebrow only to see Twilight shaking her head. Sunset's look softened when she looked at Twilight,sighing and backing off.
"I'm watching you,Sentry." Sunset snarled,giving Flash a cold glare before walking off to her seat while gripping the edge of her cardigan. Twilight shot Flash an apologetic look before quickly following Sunset to her seat which was next to Sunset's.
"What am I going to do with you?" Twilight spoke after about a minutes silence between the two.
"You're asking the wrong person,Twi. I don't know what I'm going to do with me anymore," Sunset responded,leaning on her hand while she watched the tech nerds set up the stage at the front of the hall that connect with the classroom for this lesson. Twilight gave Sunset a sad look and didn't say anything,just rested her head on Sunset's shoulder. Sunset's eyes shifted to look at Twilight before back to the front of the classroom/hall,a small smile forming on her lips.
"Okay class! I hope you have your songs ready to preform in front of the class today! We will be joined by the second half music class as well!" Miss Cheerliee spoke with a bright smile as she walked into the classroom/hall. She took a look around the room before her eyes stopped on Sunset "Sunset? Are you alright to preform?"
"Perfectly fine to preform,Miss. I'll even go first if you want," Sunset grinned while Twilight removed her head from her shoulder. Sunset was about to get up until Flash shot up from his seat with his guitar in hand.
"No,Miss! I'll go first." Flash said firmly,glaring at Sunset over his shoulder who just stuck her middle finger up at him with a sarcastic smile on her lips. Flash's head shot forward again,looking at Miss Cheerliee,who just looked really confused.
"Oh well uh...okay then,Flash. The stage is yours," She replied as Flash and his band stood up and waltzed onto the stage. As they were setting up Sunset leant over to Twilight.
"You know that whatever he sings he's gonna aim to towards you," Sunset spoke which just caused Twilight to groan.
"Oh joy. He can't take a hint can he?"
"Not even remotely,” Sunset shook her head before cupping her hands around her mouth to yell at Flash “C’mon dum-dum we haven’t got all day!”
Flash just shot her an irratated look while Twilight slapped her hand against her forehead.
“Damnit Sunset,” Twilight groaned in annoyance.
“What? Its not my fault he’s taking so long. Like god the Titanic sunk faster than he can set up,” Sunset commented,shrugging while she leant back in her chair. Twilight took a long, hard look at Sunset and frowned slightly. The girl she knew from the Friendship Games and when they went to Camp Everfree was fading away day by day and she didn’t want that to happen.
“Whats with the longing look in your eyes?” Sunset asked, her arms crossed as she looked to the side therfore at Twilight. Twilight paused for a moment before her eyes downcasted, rubbing her hands together in nervousness.
“I’m watching my friend fade away...and I mean the friend that I had during the end of the Friendship Games and during our trip to Camp Everfree. I can barely see her in you anymore and...I’m scared I’ll lose that girl...that friend forever only to be replaced with this disrespectable, grumpy assassin. It’s like...you’re turning into the old you...the one who told me about.” Twilight finished,continuing to look at her hands while trying to hide the tears that were forming around the brim of her eyes. Sunset just looked on in shock. She wanted to get mad at Twilight for even mentioning the old her but noticing the tears forming and just taking a few moments she realised..she was right. She slipped a hand to Twilights shoulder and offered a smile.
“Twi..I understand you are scared, I am too but no amount of killing and ass kicking is going turn me into the old me. I made a vow to Princess Twilight and to myself to never ever become that person again and I intend to keep that vow. So if for whatever reason you think you are losing me to someone you don’t recognise I want you to slap me. Hard. And make me remember my vow,” Sunset spoke quietly,raising her hands quickly in defence “Except don’t slap me now because that would draw attention to ourselves,”
Twilight just giggled and gave Sunset a side hug “Noted,”
Sunset was so zoned out in the moment she didn’t notice Flash standing in front of them until he took Twilight’s hand while he was singing. Sunset didn’t say anything but just watched the scene play out as Flash tried and failed horribly to woo Twilight. Sunset began to let out a snicker when Flash turned his back to walk back to the stage which resulted in Twilight punching Sunset gently in the shoulder although she couldn’t keep a straight face either.
“My god that was hard to watch,” Sunset whispered, shaking her head.
“At least you didn’t have to go through it,” Twilight shivered,sticking her tounge out to emphasise how grossed out she was. Flash’s song was finally over and his band and himself took their leave from the stage.
“Alright Sunset! You are up next!” Miss Cheerliee called out to which Sunset responded with a nod and a thumbs up.
“Wish me luck,”
“You don’t need it,Sunny,” Twilight spoke softly with a small but cute smile. Sunset felt herself go slightly red as the sight, clearing her throat before shooting a crooked smile Twilight’s way.
“T-thanks,Twi,” Sunset replied shakily before quickly walking off to the stage. Twilight leant back slightly in her chair before waving over to the rest of the girls who had just arrived.
“Oh my goodness we are so late..I told you stopping at the ice van would make us late, Rainbow Dash!” Rarity said with annoyence in her tone, glaring at the rainbow headed girl. Rainbow waved her off and jusy sat down in Sunset’s old seat.
“C’mon Rarity live a little won’tcha? Back me up here,Twilight,”
“Yeah this isn’t a petty arguement I want to be a part of. I’m going to get closer to the stage to see Sunset preform so feel free to join when you finish-” Twilight stopped and motioned to both girls “-whatever this is,”
Twilight walked over to the stage and was soon joined by Applejack, Fluttershy and Pinkie.
“Do y’all know what Sunsets gonna preform?” Applejack asked, standing next to Fluttershy with her arms crossed over her chest.
“I-I’d like to also know...” Fluttershy chimned in quietly.
“Oh! Oh! Me too! I bet its super duper awesome!” Pinkie said quickly with excitement,jumping up and down. Rainbow walked up to the stage from behind Pinkie and placed a hand on her head to get her to stop, Rarity following suit and standing next to Twilight.
“Unfortunatly I do not but I have faith she’ll do well,” Twilight smiled and that earnt a nod of agreence from evetyone. Everything was getting set up when Twilight over heard Flash.
“She’s totally gonna suck. She’s so out of whack and can never top my preformance,”
Twilight began to grind her teeth together but elected to keep her mouth shut as she thought that everyone would assume Sunset was rubbing off on her. Instead she let out a breath and turned her attention to the stage to see Sunset strolling up onto it, mic in hand. Sunset shot all the girls a smile before giving vinyl a thumbs up, Vinyl nodding in responce and starting up the track. Almost as instantly as the track started up people began to move their heads to the music, Twilight doing the same until Sunset started singing. Twilight's head shot up with her mouth slightly open in shock, the other girls sharing a similar look. Sunset's voice wasn't her normal singing voice. This voice was raspy, deep and...kinda sexy. Twilight shook her head to try and adapt to Sunset's new voice but almost lost it again at the chours.
I am a broken screen
Twilight watched in absolute awe at the performance. The moves Sunset did, the backing vocals she had obviously taken the time out of her time to pre-record, the way she kept her eyes on the audience, it all just astonished her. She glanced over her shoulder to see Flash with a massive frown on his face. He was fully aware that the crowd prefered Sunset and just that thought made her smirk,turning her head back to the stage. Sunset looked down and winked at Twilight which just cause the book worm to get red and return a shy smile. Twilight knew she needed to get this stupid blush thing under control.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
"And I loved when you shot your middle finger at Flash! Oh, oh! And I also loved-" Sunset put a hand over Pinkie's mouth,rubbing her temples before smiling slightly.
"I get it, Pinkie you...really liked my preformance,"
"I must say, darling it was quite extraordinary. Everything about it was so unlike you but in such a way that was extremely enjoyable," Rarity spoke up, giving Sunset a bright smile.
"I gotta agree with Rares. It was a hoot an' a half,Sugarcube!" Applejack chimed in.
"Yeah it was totally awesome,bro!" Rainbow yelled in excitement, putting her fist out towards Sunset for a fist bump to which Sunset obliged happily.
"Thanks guys I'm glad you liked it. Honestly I was scared you guy would think it was weird or dumb because of...me acting up and all," Sunset spoke, rubbing the back of her neck in embaressment.
"We understand you are going through a rough time right now, dear. And when you are ready to talk about it with us we shall be all ears," Rarity said softly,slipping a hand to Sunset's shoulder and squeezing it gently. Sunset glanced to the fashionesta and couldn't help the smile that broke out.
"Thanks, Rarity..and all of you as well," Sunset spoke with pride before looking around with a raised eyebrow "Hey where Twi and Flutters?"
"Flutters as gardening club and Twilight said something about the library, I dunno I wasn't pay attention cause the words library and study were mentioned," Rainbow replied, sticking her tounge out in disgust when she finished.
"You know Dash it wouldn't kill you to study. All those soccer balls to the noggin have probably knocked your brain out of your head," Sunset said with a small smirk, looking away slightly "It would actually explain alot,"
The whole group started to snicker among themselves expect Rainbow, who just glared at Sunset.
"Listen, Shimmer I will destroy you!" Rainbow yelled in defence,pointing a finger at Sunset. Sunset raised an eyebrow and took a step forward, towering over the shorter girl while her eyes narrowed slightly, the smirk still on her lips.
"Try me, Short stack," Sunset challenged. Rainbow blinked before slowly lowering her hand and running a hand through her hair.
"Ah well you know now isn't a good time for me..so so busy ya know,"
"How convenient," Sunset commented with a chuckle before turning her back to the girls "Anyhow I'm gonna go find Twi. See ya!"
-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Twilight was sat down at one of the tables at the very back of the library, reading over some equation until a pair of hands covered her eyes.
"Guess who?" The voice whispered in her ear. Twilight reached up to gently pry the hands away from her eyes, grinning.
"Oh no I could never guess. Hm..Sunset?"
"Congratulations. You win a prize!" Sunset beamed,lowering one hand to her side and using the other to lean on the table. Twilight looked up at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh? And what is my prize?"
"A lovely motorcycle ride to thou's apartment for a movie night with your dearest, Sunset Shimmer," Sunset spoke in an old english accent and giving a little bow too which caused Twilight to giggle. Sunset tried to keep her cool at that. She swore that girls laugh was her Achilles heel.
"That sounds wonderful. Let me just check with my parents but I'm sure they won't mind, they love you,"
"Can't blame them, what's not to love?"
"I could answer that question but I'm gonna pass," Twilight said sarcasticlly, grinning from ear to ear while Sunset had a fake shocked look on her face. Sinking to the floor, Sunset put the back of her hand on her forehead and closed her eyes while dramtically saying
"Oh Twilight how you hurt me so! Why must you be this way to yours truly?"
"Fine, Fine!" Twilight laughed as quietly as she could in the libary "You are my families lord and saviour and we would be oh so lost without you,"
"Damn straight!" Sunset grinned, standing up and wrapping an arm around Twilight's shoulders. Twilight only nudged Sunset and chuckled.
"I checked with my parents and they are fine with me going to yours,"
"Awesome," Sunset smiled briefly before turning her back to Twilight,moving her hair so that it rested over her right shoulder,revealing a symbol on the back of her neck. Twilight glanced up and noticed it,her eyes widening slightly.
"Sunset?"
"Yeah?"
"Whats-" Twilight stopped,looking around before lowering her voice "Whats that on the back of your neck?"
Sunset froze and reached a hand around to feel the the rough patch of skin that stuck out.
"Fuck..." Sunset groaned,quickly covering it up with her hair again. She darted her head around and took a seat right next to Twilight.
"Its the mark of the assassins," Sunset whispered as quietly as she could so that nobody but Twilight heard.
"That...looked like it hurt,"
"It did. Alot. It got burnt into my skin,"
"..why?"
"They thought it held more value than a tattoo. Tattoos fade but this remains forever. Its basically part of me now," Sunset explained,rubbing her temples as she realised it was stupider said out loud. Twilight slowly reached under Sunset's hair and touched the burnt spot. Sunset fliched but let her continue. It was bumpy like a scar that hadn't healed properly and was tougher than the rest of her skin. Twilight could feel her stomach churn at the feeling of it, taking her hand away. Twilight turned to look at Sunset only to be face to face with the other girl. Twilight's eyes widened as she noticed how close Sunset was, causing her face to go bright red.
"You okay,Twi? You've gone red. Are you coming down with a fever?" Sunset asked with concern in her voice, placing a hand to Twilight's forehead. Twilight took a sharp intake of breath and moved away quickly, spinning on her heel so her back was Sunset.
"I-I'm fine! Lets just g-go to yours now!" Twilight said quickly, speed walking out of the libary. If question marks appeared above your head in real life Sunset was sure she'd have multiple right now. Shaking her head she picked up her backpack and Twilight's, as she'd run off without it, and left the libary.
This was going to be a long day.

Okay so this took too long to update 😅. My laptop broke and I had to get it fixed and then I kept losing inspiration, you get the idea. But anyhow I hope you enjoy this chapter!!
"You know...I've never really seen the inside of your house," Twilight commented, unwrapping her arms from around Sunset's waist before taking off the helmet she borrowed from Sunset and got off the bike. After having a quick discussion they decided to drop Twilight's little 'scene' at school and just get on with enjoying the rest of their evening. Sunset took off her helmet and got off her bike as well, making sure the stand was out so it wouldn't fall over. Sunset lead out Twilight out the garage before speaking.
"Aparetment more and none of the girls have. I kept it that way for a reason,"
"Why?"
"Because when I leave the house I don't really clean away my throwing knives, duel pistols and daggers from around the place and believe me they are pretty noticeable," Sunset replied, punching in the passcode to open the front door to the apartment complex. Sunset walked towards the elevator and made sure Twilight was inside before swiping her key card and pressing the floor number.
"Will I get to see them?"
"Yeah but don't mess about with them. The blades been sharpened with diamond so with the smallest cut will make you squirm and I was practising with the pistols this morning so they probably still have the safety off,"
"...got it," Twilight gulped. She then raised an eyebrow and looked up at Sunset "Wait. If you were practising with pistols wouldn't of anyone heard gunfire and alerted the police?"
"You ever heard of a wonderful attachment for a pistol called a silencer? Its absolutly revolutionary and-" Twilight quickly slapped a hand over Sunset's mouth and glared at her.
"Alright, Smart ass you can shut up now. And just for the record-Ew you licked my hand!" Twilight cried as quickly retraced her hand, wiping her hand on the jeans while Sunset just laughed.
"Pro strategy of get rid of your hand," Sunset said with a massive grin.
"Ugh you are so gross,"
"You know it, Sparkle. C'mon this is our stop," Sunset smiled as the elevator door opened to reveal an entire apartment. Twilight looked up from her jeans only for her eyes to widen. She frantically looked around both the apartment and the elevator before looking at Sunset.
"Do we just walk through this place to your place or?"
"Twilight,"
"Yeah?"
"This is my place," Sunset replied, pushing her gently into the room that showed before the elevator door closed behind them.
Twilight could only look on in disbelief
"The creed pays the big bucks. Techinally its the only reason I stay," Sunset commented as she made her way into the kitchen "You want a drink?"
Twilight hadn't heard Sunset speak as she continued to look around. She began to back up to get a better view of the living room until her back collided with something soft. She spun around and looked up to see Sunset stood there with two cans of Pepsi Max, a half smile on her lips.
"You didn't answer me so I just assumed you'd want a soft drink as a pose to alcohol," Sunset said while streching an arm out to hand Twilight a can, who happily took the can. Sunset took a quick look at Twilight's expression and pursed her lips.
"Do you want to go for a wonder around the place,Twi?"
"Can we?" Twilight asked with excitement, struggling to open her can. Sunset let out a snort and helped Twilight open her can as well as opening her own.
Sunset began to walk towards the end of the living room
-_-_-_-_-_-_-
After getting a tour of Sunset's apartment, Twilight slumped onto the sofa with a sigh before looking over the back of it to see Sunset pulling some knives out of a dart board. Twilight blinked a couple of times before clearing her throat to get Sunset's attention.
Sunset was halfway through pulling out the last throwing knife before stopping, shifting her eyes over to look at Twilight.
"What happens if you miss the board and it hits the wall?"
"I don't miss." Sunset said flatly, finishing what she started by pulling out the last knife from the board before placing them on the table behind her "But if I were to miss, it would just create a nasty mark in the wall that my landlord wouldn't be happy about,"
Twilight didn't respond, only looked on at Sunset until she finally turned around to look at the TV, turning it on and flicking through the channels. Sunset looked to her friend before walking off into the bedroom to find something more comfortable.
Twilight's eyes scanned the TV screen before she called out to Sunset.
"Just a minute!" Sunset called back, slipping on her sweatpants and glasses before coming back into the living room "Yeah?"
"I was just wondering what-" Twilight stopped midsentence after looking at Sunset. Her mouth hung open slightly while she continued to stare causing Sunset to chuckle as she walked round the side of the sofa, jumping onto it.
"Whats up? Why are you staring?"
"..You wear glasses..?"
"Only around the house,they're reading glasses. Why? Do they look bad?" Sunset asked.
Twilight quickly shook her head and offered a reasurring smile
"Yeah I don't really need to wear them but I feel comfortable enough to wear them around you," Sunset responded, glancing over the rim and smiling at her friend. Twilight couldn't help but go a little red at the statement and hid the rising grin behind her soft drink can.
"So I was thinking that we could watch-" Sunset stopped, staring out the window with a blank expression. Twilight raised her head to see what caused Sunset to stop talking, following her line of sight only to see a black feather fall outside the window. Sunset could only sigh and get up.
"Sunny? Whats going on?"
"I've been summonded by the creed. And since its a black feather, its not gonna be fun," Sunset replied with annoyance lacing her tone as she began to walk back into the bedroom to get dressed. Twilight could only look on in silence,frowning before clenching her fists.
"Will..you be long?" Twilight asked loudly so Sunset could hear her.
Sunset walked back into the living room, equiped head to toe in gear
Sunset raised her head slightly "I'm not sure what time I'll be back so whats mine is yours. Food in in the kitchen, you can watch anything on my TV or play anything on my game consoles. I do, however, think its in your best intrest if you stay over tonight,"
"Why..?"
"Just trust in me, Twi," Sunset replied, looking at the book worm with pleading eyes. Twilight stared at Sunset with her mouth open slightly for a moment before closing it and nodding.
"I'll text my parents,"
"Alright. See you soon, Sparky," Sunset smiled softly, going over to the window and climbing out. Twilight let out a large sigh and slumped on the sofa, running a hand through her hair.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
"Whats the problem, Gov?" Sunset asked, pulling her hood down when in front of her boss. Governor only gave Sunset a hard stare due to the nickname before sighing and motioning her to sit down in the chair in front of his desk. Sunset slid into the chair and straightened herself up before looking forward with a slight frown.
"Well?"
Governor paused for a moment before responding
Sunset's frown turned into a straight line and her expression went blank. The only signs of emotion she showed at this time was the darkening of her eyes.
"What about him?"
"He's joined the templars." Governor said flatly. Sunset felt a pang of hatred course through her entire body as gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. She was silent for a moment before shooting out of her chair, said chair falling to the ground with a low thud. Sunset gripped her hair hard and lowered her head.
"I should of fucking known! I should of known when he left me to rot, that absolute piece of shit!" Sunset screamed, grabbing a near by vase and throwing it against the wall. Governor stayed silent, a flash of sympathy showing in his eyes before fading again. He looked down at the ground only to look up again and come face to face with a fuming Sunset Shimmer.
"I'll hurt him-"
"Osiris..."
"-so bad that he will beg for the sweet release of death. I can promise you that much."
"I can understand that you are upset..."
"Upset is an understatement. I'm..livid."
"Sunset.."
"Are we done here?" Sunset asked coldly, her back to him now.
"I...yes. Remeber to-"
"-keep a look out, yeah I know," Sunset interrupted,storming out of the office.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Sunset scaled the building wall to her apartment, coming close to open widow only to hear a scream. She froze in place and hid for a moment.
"You utter bitch! I swear if anyone heard that you're as good as dead!" A male voice yelled. Sunset could feel her blood run cold.
"Fox..." She whispered to herself. Shaking her head, she peaked through the window to see nobody in the living giving her a chance to sneak in. She knew she had to get to Twilight. Now. She perked up when she heard movement in the kitchen,moving quietly but quickly to the kitchen door way to see Fox standing over Twilight with his hidden blade at the ready to strike.
"Now tell me where Sunset is and you won't get hurt." Fox snarled at a whimpering Twilight.
"I-I don't-"
"If you say I don't know one more fucking time I'll slit your throat."
"But I really don't know-"
"Thats it! I-" Fox was unable to finish his sentence as his head was turnt forcefully to the side and his neck snapped. His body instantly flopped to the ground, lifeless, to show Sunset looking at Twilight with fear and concern. Twilight, still trembling, slowly opened her eyes to see a blurry image of red and yellow in front of her.
"S-s-sunset?"
"Yeah, Twi its me,I'm here." Sunset spoke softly,moving Fox's body before kneeling in front of Twilight. Twilight stared at Sunset for a moment before she burst into tears and threw herself onto Sunset, gripping her waist coat while sobbing into her chest. Sunset hesitated for a moment before wrapping her arms Twilight, rubbing her back for comfort which was meant with louder sobs.
"I-I was so s-scared, Sunset! I thought I w-was going to die!" Twilight cried,gripping tighter.
"I know Twilight I...I'm so sorry..." Was all Sunset could say as she rested her chin on top of Twilights head.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Sunset could only look from the kitchen doorway and Twilight on the sofa, a blacket wrapped around her body as she store blankly at the cartoon on the TV. Sunset thought that putting on Twilight's favorite cartoon would do something to the shock but alas it did nothing. Sunset chewed on her bottom lip before going back into the kitchen to finish making the tea she was preparing.
Finishing both cups, Sunset brought both out and placed them on the glass coffee table, the sound of impact causing Twilight to jump. Twilight stared at the source with her mouth slightly agap before tilting her head up to see Sunset, who just shot her a small smile. Twilight focused her attention on the steam coming from the cup until that was all became an intrest to her causing Sunset frown.
After what seemed like an eternity, Twilight spoke up
"I'm sorry?"
"The killing." Twilight elaborated before finally looking at Sunset fully "Does it get any easier to see and do that?"
Sunset was taken back by the question,pursing her lips as she sat down slowly next to Twilight.
"Meaning?"
"I've gotten used to the idea of it and large amounts of blood no longer bother me. However, taking another life, no matter how much they may deserve it, can still be haunting. Unfortunatly for me, this job pays the bills and requires no annoying paperwork to apply because-" Sunset stopped to put a finger from each hand over the back of her head to create antenna "-am I techinally an alien,"
Twilight couldn't help but giggle a little at Sunset's playfulness which caused Sunset to let out a massive smile. She shuffled over a little, wrapping a arm around Twilights shoulders before giving them a little squeeze.
"I don't expect you to get over something like that overnight, I understand. But when you are good and ready to talk about this you know I'm all ears," Sunset spoke softly, giving Twilight a warm and caring stare. Twilight could only stare for a few moments before giving a small smile and nodding. Sunset turned her attention to the TV while Twilight continued to stare.
She has always found Sunset mesmerising. She was smart, funny, kind, caring, drop dead gorgeous, talented. It honestly shocked her how someone so perfect ever even acknowledged her, despite all the stuff she heard about Sunset before thet met. Whenever Twlight was upset or scared or frustrated, Sunset was there for her. Oh how she wished she could just be upfront about her feelings. There was never a good time so why not just be out with it?
"I can feel your eyes burning into the side of my head," Sunset commented causing Twilight to jump slightly. Sunset turned her head to look at her.
"If you want to tell me something just do so,"
Twilight felt herself frozen on the spot. She could only continue to stare at Sunset who remained paitent and quiet, waiting for the book worm to speak up.
"I...I uh..."
"Yes?"
Twilight just breathed in and let out a massive jumble of words
Sunset could only stare with wide eyes before they softened and she let out a small chuckle, putting her arm across the back of the sofa.
"Took you long enough, Sparky,"
"...say what?" Twilight managed to spit out.
"I'm not stupid, Twi. And you-" Sunset stopped for a moment to boop Twilights nose while she grinned widely "-aren't very good at hiding crushes,"
"Then why didn't you say anything!" Twilight whined, pouting which only caused Sunset to drop her arm from off the back of the sofa and wrap around Twilight's shoulders.
"Becuase I didn't want to force you to admit something that you'd later on might not even feel anymore. I didn't say anything because it wasn't my place," Sunset explained and pulled Twilight closer, resting her head atop of the shorter girls "And just to clarify, I like you too,"
Twilight couldn't stop the huge smile that began to form on her lips as she snuggled into Sunset's side. Sunset kissed the top of Twilights head before leaning her head back.
"But lets talk more about this tomorrow okay? You've had a rough night,"
"Don't you mean we?"
"This is my job,Twi. There are no more rough nights for me when it comes to all that," Sunset replied before a loud yawn. Twilight frowned slightly at that but just pursed her lips and stood up. Streching her arms above her head, Twilight jumped slightly when she felt two arms snake their way around her waist and a pair of breasts press into her back.
"You have no idea-" Sunset began as she nuzzled Twilight's neck with a huge smile "-how long I've waited to hold you like this,"
"You're kidding," Twilight resorted, leaning back into Sunset's embrace with her own lips curling into a smile.
"Swear on my life that I speak the truth," Sunset chuckled. She blew some hot wind on Twilights ear before running off quickly. Twilight stood in disbelif before she began to laugh, chasing after the assassin
"C'mere, Sunset!"
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
"Are you sure I can borrow this?" Twilight asked, looking down at the hoodie she wore. It reached down to her thighs and the sleeves went way past hands causing them to flap around when she moved her arms. Sunset moved half of the duvet half way down the bed before looking over her shoulder with a small smile.
"Yes,Twi. Keep it even, it suits you better than me anyway," The firey haired assassin replied, sliding into bed first before patting the spot next to her to tell Twilight to join her. Twilight hesitated at first but walked over to the bed, removing her glasses before crawling onto it and up to Sunset, laying her head on her chest.
Sunset slipped a arm around the shorter girl while putting the other behind her head,sighing.
"Is something the matter?" Twilight asked, shifting slightly to look up at Sunset. Sunset bit her lip briefly.
"I'm just worried. Becuase of my job?" Sunset spoke, glancing down at Twilight "I just don't want you to ever get hurt,"
"I'll be extra careful. I don't want this to change anything, I have waited way to long for this and I am not going to wait any longer," Twilight whispered the last part, leaning up just enough to plant a small kiss on Sunset's lips. Sunset's eyes widened for a moment but she smirked soon after Twilight pulled away.
"My, my, Sparky. You are quite spontaneous when you want something. I kinda like it," Sunset purred, going in for another kiss but was stopped when Twilight placed at finger to the taller girls lips, smirking at her.
"Ah, ah. Since we are discussing everything tomorrow, you have to wait," Twilight winked, rolling onto her side with her back to Sunset. She could only hear the firey haired girl chuckle before sighing when Sunset wrapped her arms around her smaller frame.
"I can do that," Sunset whispered before closing her eyes, placing her chin lightly on Twilights head. Twilight let the biggest smile to date grace her lips before she finally drifted off to sleep.
Author's Note
Yeah this took way too long and is probably awful but I'll do my best to make it up in the next chapter!
Sunshine shone through the blinds, giving the room a stripped glow. Twilight stirred slightly, turning onto her side facing the wall to try and stop the sunlight shining on her eyelids but with no anvil. Finally giving up, Twilight opened her eyes slowly,groaning while she sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. She reached out a hand to gather her barings only to feel an empty bed. Frowning, she looked around the room for Sunset but didn't see her.
"Sunset?" Twilight called out,biting her lips as she waited for a responce.
"Kitchen!" Sunset yelled back. Twilight breathed a sigh of relief. She knew Sunset wouldn't just leave her! It was her house after all. She mentally slapped herself for forgetting that key fact before slipping out of bed and grabbing her glasses. Yawning and rubbing the back of her neck she walked out of Sunset's bedroom and into the kitchen.
Twilight went to speak but her mouth instantly snapped shut when she saw Sunset. The firey haired guitarist was wearing grey, baggy lounging pants that came down to her feet and a red and black flannel top that hung open, all that was underneth was a black bra. Her hair was slightly frizzy but the sight still made Twilight blushed deeply.
Sunset finished sipping her coffee and looked up to see Twilight standing in doorway. She smiled and put her coffee cup down,walking over to the shorter girl.
"I-I...I uh..we..." Twilight was lost for words, her lips constantly moving as if she was going to say something but nothing came out. Sunset could only chuckle and wrap her arms around the book worm, envoloping her in a hug.
"You alright there,Twi?" She asked. Twilight stiffened for a moment but was quick to relax and slip her arms around Sunset, burying her face in the taller girls chest.
"I am now.."
"Cause you're here with me or cause your head is between my tits?"
"Don't make me motorboat you."
"Don't threaten me with a good time," Sunset shot back only to earn a snort from Twilight, who lifted her head to look up at Sunset.
"You're so weird,"
"You make it sound like a bad thing," Sunset smiled,kissing Twilights head before walking over to the oven "Are pancakes okay for breakfast?"
Twilight fiddled with the sleeves of the hoodie she was wearing, chewing on her lip "Yeah...yeah thats fine...hey Sunset?"
"Yes?"
"Is...is there still going to be room for me in your life? You know with school and your job and with us being...you know..."
"Girlfriends?" Sunset answered for her,glancing over her shoulder at Twilight.
"O-only if thats what you want! I mean it doesn't have to be straight away, we can always wait for a while or we can-"
"Yes thats what I want. Is that you want?" Sunset interrupted, focusing on mixing the pancake batter as she waited for Twilights answer.
"I don't think I've ever wanted anything more in my life. Well maybe when I was 9 and wanted this massive encyclopedia on science and technology,"
"Dork," Sunset laughed lightly before shooting Twilight a bright smile "But if thats what you want then we are girlfriends from now on. And yes there will still be room for you because I will make room for you,"
Sunset poured the batter into the pan and turned around to face Twilight "ready?"
Twilight raised an eyebrow but watched as Sunset positioned the pan and threw the pancake into the air then caught it with the pan. Twilight couldn't help but giggle at how proud Sunset looked about her achivement. "And you call me a nerd,"
"Hey! I will have you know trying to catch a pancake with a pan takes precise aim and skill!"
"You're an assassin. Aren't those two things essential?" Twilight commented, crossing her arms with an amused smile gracing her lips. Sunset just shot her a flat look and waved her hand dissmissingly.
"Details." Sunset replied and went back to focusing on breakfast "It shouldn't take too long, go get comfy on the sofa,"
Twilight silently went on her way, picking up the tv remote from the coffee table before slumping on the sofa. Finally settling on a channel, Twilight glanced over to the CD rack by the arm of the sofa and leant over to take a look at what Sunset had. There were alot of metal albums but that didn't suprise Twilight as that seemed like Sunset's get up but what did suprise her was the amount of swing and electro swing albums Sunset owned.
As she took one out, Sunset came in with two plates stacked high with pancakes. Sunset moved her head slightly to see what Twilight was looking at while placing the two plates on the coffee table.
"Whatcha got there?"
"An album of yours from Caravan Palace. I didn't see you as the swing music type,"
"How'd you know they were swing?"
"The art style of the album kind of gives it away. What gave it away more so however is that I also listen to them," Twilight giggled,looking up at her girlfriend, who wore a wide eyed look.
"Please don't tell Rainbow, I'll never hear the end of it," Sunset begged. Twilight stood up and put the CD on the coffee table,waltzing up to her girlfriend with a wide grin.
"And what's in it for me?" Twilight asked in a low tone, biting her lip as she ran a finger up Sunset's arm. Sunset inhaled sharply and looked anywhere except at Twilight as her face began to rise in colour.
"I uh...I don't really..."
"I'm just teasing,Sunny. I swear on my life I shan't tell Rainbow," Twilight smiled sarcsticlly as she waltzed off back to the sofa, grabbing a plate of pancakes as she did so. Sunset just stood in shock before huffing and crossing her arms.
"How is it that in the past two days your confidence has skyrocketed when it comes to shit like what you just did?"
"A certain punk has been rubbing off on me and spoiler alert its not Rainbow," Twilight responded as she swallowed her mouthful,glancing over the rim of her glasses at the bacon haired girl. Sunset raised an eyebrow at her girlfriend before letting out a snort.
"Don't tell your parents that, I gotta make a good impression when you introduce me as your girlfriend"
Twilight almost choked on her food and looked at Sunset with eyes as wide a sausers.
"Kidding,Twi! I'm not gonna rush anything with you," Sunset reassured, walking into her bedroom before coming back out moments later with her glasses.
"Heh..right..I knew that," Twilight chuckled nervously, moving a piece of pancake around her plate with her fork in thought. When she finally stabbed the piece with her fork she felt Sunset sit next to her. Looking over she saw the assassin with her glasses and a crossword. She continued to stare until Sunset, who was chewing on the end of her pencil, looked up and narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Can I help you?"
"You need some help with your crossword,grandma?" Twilight asked with a snarky smile, thinking she had wounded her with her 'amazing' insult. Sunset looked at her flatly for a moment before grinning mischievously.
"Ah so you're into GILF's? Good to know," Sunset spoke, reaching over for her plate of pancakes as Twilight choked on her mouthful. Twilight gave Sunset a hard stare to which she responded to with a sarcastic,toothy smile.
"God you are the absolute worse,"
"Don't you know it. And yet here we are, dating and being cute," Sunset smiled, leaning forward for a kiss only to be stopped by Twilight's finger. Sunset blinked only to raise an eyebrow and give her girlfriend a confused look. Twilight just shook her head and pushed Sunset away.
"You don't deserve kisses after that comment,"
"You're such a buzzkill," Sunset pouted.
Twilight laughed and kissed Sunset's cheek.
"Stealing my lingo are we?"
"Pointing out the obvious are we?"
"Using the are, are we?" Sunset shot back with a playful smirk and narrowed eyes. Twilight playfully punched Sunset's shoulder;turning her attention to the TV, which was screening Skyfall.
"Hey look, its you," Twilight remarked, pointing at James Bond in the film killing multiple people at once and doing dangerous stunts. Sunset glanced at the TV over the rim of her glasses while chewing her mouthful of pancakes before shrugging.
"So I'm a British super spy who has multiple ladies wanting to have sex with me? Very nice," She responded, licking her lips afterwards. Twilight turned her head to look at her girlfriend and narrowed her eyes. Sunset let out a breath through her nose,whipping her head to the side to grin widely at the bookworm.
"That's vile,"
"Hey, you said it was me," Sunset said;turning her attention back to her crossword. Twilight blinked, giving herself a confused look before it hit that she had indeed said that.
"I...I retract my statement," Twilight muttered,crossing her arms over her chest in a huff. Her little sulking session only ended when Sunset lent over and kissed her cheek while wrapping a arm around her shoulders to pull her closer.
"I thought you might,babe,"
"B-babe?" Twilight stammered. Sunset just nodded with a smile.
"Yeah. I thought we should use pet names now that we are dating. Why? Don't you like it?"
"No! I mean, no I don't not like it!" Twilight defeanded quickly before continuing "I just never thought in a million years that you of all people would call me babe,"
"Oh?"
"Well I did in my head along with multiple other scenerios of us dating and cuddling and..." Twilight trailed off as she looked up at Sunset's wide eyed expression.
"...and now I realise you must think I'm a grade A freak..." Twilight finished,putting her head in her hands. Sunset let her shoulders slump as she kissed the top of Twilights head.
"Of course I don't, Sparky. Its super cute that you thought of us like that. And...I'd be a bit of a hypocrite if I agreed with your statement cause I also did the same with you,"
Twilight scoffed at that and looked at Sunset like she'd lost her mind.
"Yes way," Sunset said softly, touching her forehead to Twilight's. Twilight looked into the assassin's eyes and saw nothing but love in them; smiling, Twilight reached a hand behind Sunset's head and pulled her towards her until their lips met.
Sunset didn't take long to respond,slipping her hands to her girlfriends waist while smiling against her lips. Twilight tangled her hands in Sunset's hair before pulling her down so she was on top, the kissing breaking.
Sunset held herself up with her arms either side of Twilight, a huge grin on her face.
"Shouldn't I be? I've got honestly a godess for a girlfriend,"
"Me? A godess? Never. You on the other hand-" Sunset leant down so her lips ghosted Twilight's neck "-are too beautiful for this world and the heavens above,"
Sunset planted small but lingering kisses up Twilight's neck and jawline slowly,nibbling here and there which caused the book worm to let out a moan as a small smile graced her lips.
"Mm...Sunset," Twilight purred as she gripped Sunset's hair, Sunset beginning to move down to her collarbone. She bit and sucked, leaving multiple hickeys and moved her hands down her girlfriends sides. She tugged at her hoodie and Twilight nodded in consent; about to remove her hoodie until there was a knock at the door. Sunset looked over to the door and gave it a very bored look.
"Are you genuinely fucking with me?"
"C'mon, Sunny. Go answer it,"
"But I don't wanna. Maybe they'll leave if we wait long enough," Sunset said hopefully but her dreams were shot down when she heard knocking again. She sighed and stood up. Twilight giggled and kissed her girlfriends cheek.
"Don't worry, we can finish what we started later," Twilight spoke before standing on her tip toes to whisper in Sunset's ear "I promise~"
Sunset bit her lip hard as she watch Twilight strut to the door, a sexy growl emerging from her throat as she followed. Twilight stood behind Sunset slightly as the taller girl opened the door to reveal an ominus looking man, at least to Twilight. But Sunset knew exactly who it was and her eyes became saucers.
"Governor?!"
Author's Note
I love me a good cliff hanger sometimes.
"What are you doing here?" Sunset asked,her arm raised ever so slightly in front of Twilight as Govenor's eyes bore into the book worms soul. He slowly turnt his head to Sunset and breathed out through his nose before dipping his hand low slightly, a feather falling out of his sleeve.
He caught it in his left hand and streched it out towards Sunset, the tip of the feather now touching her nose.
Twilight moved around Sunset slightly so she was stood as an angle that allowed her to see both Govenor and Sunset.
"That is none-"
"it is now." Sunset inturppted her boss, her eyes narrowing slightly. Govenor's eyes shifted slightly to look at Twilight before looking back at Sunset, his eyes softening slightly.
"Very well. But since she knows about all this, you can train her,"
Sunset took the feather and nodded, walking into the kitchen while running a finger down the feather. Twilight looked up at the older man and studied his features for a moment. He looked like he'd been to hell and back, scars littering his face and the grey in his hair showed he wasn't young. Twilight came to the conclusion that he was the head assassin. She broke out of her trace when Sunset came back into the room with a blood soaked feather.
Sunset glanced over at Twilight as she handed the feather back to the older man.
"Isn't that a little old fashioned?"
"Very much so, my dear," Govener responded in return, putting the feather in his pouch attached to the back of his trousers before looking at Twilight "In fact, it dates back to Ancient Egypt where are the assassins originated,"
"Ancient Egypt?" Twilight responded in shock, looking to Sunset with wide eyes, who only nodded in responce with a small smile.
"Yes, Sparky, Ancient Egypt. Although way back then, we wern't really assassins at first, we were Medjay,"
"Medjay? As in the police force of the BC era?"
"She's a history nerd, sir," Sunset spoke, shaking her head as she could see the smile forming on Twilights face as all the gears in her head began to turn. Govener just chuckled and crossed his arms.
"Yes I can see that. Well I'm off now and remember, Osiris, its your job to train her,"
"I'm well aware," Sunset mumbled as she opened the door for the older man to leave. Twilight finally tuned back in to reality when she saw Sunset and Govener in the doorway with a hand over their hearts.
"Nothing is true, everything is permitted," They both spoke in sync before the man finally left. Sunset let out a huge sigh before whacking her forehead against the door with a thud, she standing there for a moment.
"What was that?" Twilight spoke up causing Sunset to turn her head slightly although it still remained on the door.
"What was what?"
"What both of you said before he left. What is that?"
Sunset stayed slient for a moment before pushing herself up to a normal standing position.
"Right...so um about what he said about you training me in all this-" Twilight remarked by using a circular motion with her hands to signal to everything in the area including the body in the kitchen "-he wasn't serious right?"
"Oh he was-" Sunset responded with missing a beat before waltzing up to Twilight and placing her hands on her shoulders, gripping them slightly "-and so was I about accepting the deal. I will make you second best assassin in the creed, second to me of course,"
Twilight stood dumbfound and looked for any indiction of a joke in Sunset's expression but found none. She blinked and took Sunset's hands off her shoulders slowly.
"Sunset..I can't do this."
"Twilight, listen-"
"-No! I mean I really can't! what on earth makes you think I'm cut out for any of this! I'll fail before I even begin and, believe it or not, I like living!"
"Yeah so do I but that ideal has never stopped me. I never think about liking to live because I go into these missions knowing that I might not come out and honestly? Thats okay,"
"How is it okay?! What if you don't come back? What if I lose you, Sunset?!" Twilight yelled, staring at Sunset with worry, concern and sadness all in a single expression while tears threatened to fall. Sunset only smiled softly as she lifted her sleeve over her hand, wiping Twilight's tears away as she stared into the shorter girls eyes.
"See thats the thing. I thought it was okay because I wouldn't have anything to come back to but now? I have a motivation. I'll always come back from my missions because of you, Twilight,"
"Don't make promises you can't keep.." Twilight mumbled as she looked down at her feet.
"I'm not fucking dying on you! Have you forgot how hard headed I am?"
Twilight chocked out a laugh through her sobbing and looked back up at Sunset with a small smile, tears still rolling down her cheeks. Sunset pulled the book worm into a hug, which Twilight happily returned after wiping her eyes and cheeks of tears.
"Okay..I'll do it,"
"You will?" Sunset asked with slight suprise, pulling away from the hug slightly to look at Twilight properly. Twilight only nodded.
"My parents are always hasseling me to get a job anyhow," Twilighe joked. "Besides, I'll learn how to defend myself and get exercise too,"
"That is very true, the exercise part is the best part really,"
"Mm I know, I felt you abs under your top earlier," Twilight purred, fiddeling with the lining of Sunset's top. Sunset raised an eyebrow.
"Are you suggesting what I think you are?"
Twilight began to tug on the shirt slightly with a slight smirk.
Sunset growled and hosited Twilight up by her thighs, leaning her up against the wall as she crashed her lips onto the others. Twilight kissed back with just as much passion, pulling back only briefly to remove both her own and Sunset's top.
Sunset broke away from the kiss and began trailing kisses down her girlfriends jaw and neck, revaling in the moans that emerged from the girls lips. The firey haired girl glanced at Twilight's bra before back at her, Twilight nodding in permission before Sunset ripped it off with her teeth. Trailing kisses down her collarbone, Sunset began to run her tonuge over Twilight's left nipple, gaining a low moan from the boom worm. Twilight ran her nails gently down Sunset's back until her fingers reached the rim of Sunset's underwear, pulling up on it and causing a sudden moan from Sunset to erupt.
Sunset stopped licking Twilight's nipple and smirked.
Sunset bit down hard on Twilight's other nipple and slid one hand down down her stomach, slipping her hand into Twilight's pants and began rubbing two fingers against her pussy. Twilight let out a low moan and dug her nails into Sunset's back slightly as she began to fidgit.
"S-Sunset..don't tease.."
"Oh? You mean like this?" Sunset asked in a slurry tone, circling one finger around the entrance of her vagina, flicking it. Twilight dug her nails in harder which earned a hum from Sunset.
"Please, Sunset...just do it, take me.."
Sunset heard all she needed too,taking her hand out of Twilight's pants to drag them as well as her underwear down,taking her two fingers and licking them before pushing them into Twilight's now wet pussy. Twilight moaned loudly,gripping Sunset's shoulders as Susnet began to pump her fingers in and out.
"Yes, yes, oh Sunset, yes, faster,"
Sunset obeyed and began to finger her faster, heaving as she pushed her body tightly against Twilight's to get her up against the wall as she used her other hand to reach over to her desk. She opened the draw and pulled out a strap on that she usually used as a dildo but thought now would be a good time to use it as its intended. Twilight saw it out of the corner of her eye before closing them as Sunset continued to pump her fingers, her breasts jiggling as she tried to move to get as much of Sunset's fingers as possible.
Much to Twilight's displeasure, Sunset stopped and let her down. Twilight, now panting, gave Sunset a weird look until she saw her slipping her pants and underwear down to her ankles and adjusting the strap on.
"My fingers can only do so much to you," Sunset purred and before Twilight could respond, Susnet hoisted her up against the wall again and began to rub the tip of the strap on against Twilight's hole. Twilight groaned before shifting so the tip teased her hole, letting out a soft moan. Sunset grinned and pushed the 10 inch strap on into Twilight slightly, earning a sharp gasp causing Sunset to stop.
"Are you okay?! Did I hurt you?" Sunset asked in concern as she noticed the small amount of blood.
"Yeah, yeah I'm okay now just..give me more," Twilight spoke through small pants causing Sunset to nod in responce, pushing into her further. Once comfortable, Sunset began to move, pumping the cock in and out of Twilight starting slow then getting faster and harder, Twilight moaning and moving up and down the wall as she moved in time with Sunset's movements.
"Deeper, Sunset, fuck me deeper,"
Sunset pulled out and rammed the cock back into her soaking pussy, earning a lustful scream from Twilight as practically hopped on the 10 inch cock.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, oh fuck, yes give me more, baby, make me your bitch!"
Sunset pounded into Twilight faster, deeper, harder, smacking her hips against her girlfriends each time.
"You're so tight, Sparky but I'm gonna make you so loose,"
Twilight screamed in pleasure with each thrust until she felt herself close.
"Sunset I'm so close,"
"Cum for me, Sparky, cum all over my cock,"
With a few more thrusts, Twilight felt the rush.
"I'm cumming, I'm cumming, I'm cumming,"
And with one for hard thrust into her.
"I'm-...Sunsetttttt!!" Twilight yelled, scraping her nails hard down Sunset's back as she came harder than she ever knew she could, cum squrting all over the strap on as Twilight continued to ride the cock until her climax ended. Sunsetbreathed out through her nose and lifted Twilight off strap on, unstrapping it from herself.
"That was something else," Twilight managed out as she tried to catch her breath, her hands on her knees.
"I take it you enjoyed it then," Sunset chuckled, taking the strap on to the bathroom and putting it in the bath, she'd wash it later, before coming back into the room. Twilight let out a short laugh.
"Hoo yeah. That was amazing,"
"I'll let you use that on me one day," Sunset winked before support Twilight to the bedroom,letting her sit on the bed before traipsing over to the cupboard to take out some lounging clothes, throwing them on the bed when she found some.
Sunset began to change into her set and Twilight slowed down a bit as a thought entered her mind.
"Yeah?" Sunset asked, looking over her shoulder at Twilight.
"Are you sure you want me to do this? The whole assassin thing?"
"Of course, Twilight. I trusted you enough to tell you about the whole thing!"
"You showed up bleeding on my balcony, I don't really think you had much of a choice, dear," Twilight shot back with a bored look. Sunset opened her mouth to say something but shut it again, her face giving a confused look before a flat one.
"Stop de-railing my point with facts. My point is that I could of tried to make you forget the whole thing happened and just never speak about it again but I want to be able to share this with you," Sunset spoke softly, kneeling down on one knee and taking Twilight's hands "Think of this like a regular date night, besides other date nights!"
"Regular date nights where people try to kill us? Exciting." Twilight spoke sarcasticlly to which Sunset just smiled slightly.
"Yeah well, normal's boring,"
That earnt a snort from Twilight as she turned her head to look at Sunset, leaning down and giving her a peak on the lips.
"Long indeed..." Sunset mumbled which was responded with a smack on her arm, both girls laughing.
"Thats vile, Sunset!"
"Ah but you did enjoy it,"
"Mm yes I did," Twilight purred,slipping back into the bed before Sunset joined her. Twilight laid there in Sunset's arms before she fell asleep on her chest, the thoughts of the converstion filling her mind before slumber.

I can't write smut to save my life, please excuse this horrible excuse of trying.
Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted
Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted
This wasn't the life that Sunset desired. In fact sometimes she honestly despised it and it made her sick but, while she hated to admit it, she was good at it and it did pay her bills. Sunset shook her head as the hidden blade retracted back into its holster on her left wrist, blood dripping down off the tip of the blade while she looked at the lifeless body at her feet. She stared for a couple more seconds before dragging a feather acorss the corspes slit throat,the feather now covered in blood.Sunset turned around and pressed into the ear piece,speaking.
"Target down,"
"Good job, Osiris. Come back to HQ." The voice responded. Sunset took her finger off the ear piece and sighed before taking one last look at the body. She breathed in and ran forward across the long plank of wood attacted to the top of the tower, taking both feet off it when right at the edge and spreading her arms outwards like an eagle in flight. This was one of the parts she actually liked about this job. When she was falling from such a height she felt free and at peace. As she came near to the end of the fall she flipped herself over so she backwards into the cart of hay that laid below the tower. She was quick to jump out of the cart of hay and scale the nearest building, landing on its rooftop and running across it. Jumping from rooftop to rooftop she made it back to HQ in no time at all and unseen as well. Opening the hatch, she landed inside the building and removed her hood. She rolled her shoulders back before walking down the hall and entering the first door on the left.
" 'Ello Gov'nor," Sunset mimicked with a smirk as she walked in with a bow only to earn a bored look from the man behind the desk.
"Very funny, Shimmer. It wasn't funny the first time-"
" I beg to disagree,"
"-And it isn't funny now!" The man spoke a little louder as he finished his sentence. Sunset only shrugged before dropping two items on his desk. A mobile phone and the feather with blood on it.
"The feather thing is still dumb," Sunset commented. The man looked over the rim of his glasses,before looking at the items and taking them,putting the feather into a draw and the phone into his pocket.
"Its tradition, Sunset,"
"Whatever you say. Has my money been wired to my account?"
"Yes. You can leave now," He said,looking back at the paperwork on his desk and waving the back of his hand in a shooing motion towards the door. Sunset mockingly bowed again before walking out of the office. She leant against the wall near the door and looked up at the ceiling. It got easier she would keep telling herself. The killing, the gore, watching other members of the Assassin Brotherhood die at the hands of the Templars. But with her help, she could cripple their control on Canterlot little by little and that was enough to get her through this job. And while the job helped with her bills it also gave her a generous amount of spending money that she could spend on stuff she enjoyed. She let out a breath and finally made her way home.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Sunset closed the door behind her and the first thing she did was look at the clock. 3am it read. She groaned and dropped her keys in the bowl on the small table by the door,walking into her bedroom. She was quick to remove her assassin robes and slip on her oversized but comfortable pjs. She took the robes into the kitchen and threw them in the washing machine, setting a reminder in her phone to wash them before tomorrow night. While on her phone a message icon popped up.
"Where were you tonight?" Read the message that Twilight sent. Sunset looked at the time it was sent and knew that there was no point in replying now as she would be dead asleep. Besides telling Twilight what she did would not only get her fired but it would freak her and everyone else and shes at least 90% sure the Brotherhood would put a massive bounty on her head for revealing who she is considering shes already managed to make the public eye.
All over the news there have been stories of a mysterious shadow called Osiris which isn't really meant to happen as Assassin's are meant to be silent so that alone has already pissed off Gonvenor, the leader of the Canterlot Brotherhood,but he is letting her redeam herself for this mess up so shes got that going for her. Sunset slowly made her way back to bed only to just sit on the edge for a minute or so,looking at the ground. She blinked twice then set an alarm for 8am,putting her phone on the desk by her bed then slipped under the covers,falling alseep almost instantly.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Sunset rolled up to school the next morning on her motorcycle,keeping a close eye out for her friends as she did not want to confront them for multiple reasons. 1) she knew they would ask her about where she was last night and she was not up for an interrogation. 2) She was not a morning person which meant she was grumpy which then meant she would be quick to snap at them. Sunset climbed off her motorcycle and made sure the stand on it was secure before putting her hood up and quickly sneaking into her first class of the day. She sat down once inside the classroom,keeping her head down.
"There you are!" A voice called to her. Oh Sunset could recongise that voice anywhere.
"Ah fuck.." She mumbled to herself before whipping her hood off and spreading her arms out to Twilight in more of a sarcasic fashion than an inviting one, a fake grin to go along with her act "Twilight! How ya been?"
"Don't give me that, Sunset. I was worried about you last night, you didn't pick up your phone once." Twilight spoke with annoyance lacing her tone,her hands on her hips and her lips pursed into a straight line. Sunset blinked at her once before letting out a sigh,her head falling onto her left hand that now rest on table,glancing up at the bookworm.
"Ah gees I'm sorry Twi I didn't know I made you worry it's just..." Sunset paused for a moment,quickly rummaging through her bag only to pull out three pieces of paper stappled together "...I knew if I kept my phone on I wouldn't of got this homework done ya know?"
Twilight appeared to believe her lie because her expression softened and her hands dropped down to her sides.
"What did you get for question 11?"
"Ludwig van Beethoven composed Für Elise,"
"Okay so I wasn't wrong then. Music is and never really was my thing," Twilight spoke,taking a seat next to Sunset. She was about to speak again but noticed a little scrap on Sunsets face which then lead her to notice that from that scrap upwards,up past her left eye and stopping a couple inches below her hair line was darker than the rest of her skin. Sunset was looking down at her phone now so she didn't notice Twilights glance at first but soon felt the burn of her gaze and turned her head slightly to look at her with a raised eyebrow.
"What?"
"Nothing!" Twilight said quickly and snapped her head forward to the front of the class,clenching her jaw. She was going to ask about that later. Twilight text the others to be wary of Sunset and try not to talk to her too much just yet when they came class. When the girls did turn up they all just greeted Sunset with small hi's and hello's which Sunset returned with a small smile before looking back at her phone.
"Well lookie lookie what we got here!" A voice came from the doorway which was soon followed by footsteps that stopped in front of Sunset. Sunset glanced up to see Flash Sentry stood in front of her with a cocky grin on his face. She didn't respond and went back to playing a game on her phone. Flash didn't like this at all and scowled.
"Hey! It's rude to not answer when someone is talking to you."
"Fuck off, Sentry."
"What was that you two faced bitch?!" Flash yelled,slamming his hands onto the table,glaring at her. Sunset didn't respond but all her friends looked on in shock. Flash growled and went to grab Sunsets wrist but in doing so Sunset smacked his hand away, stood up and headbutt him straight in the nose. Flash cried out in pain and stumbled backwards while cupping his hands over his nose. He didn't see the chairs behind him which caused his to trip over them and fall flat on his back. He looked up in horror while he felt blood drip into his hands. Sunset now, was extremely annoyed.
"I said fuck off you blue haired asshole!" Sunset screamed but unfortunatly didn't see the teacher come in. Her eyes widened and she went to say something but it was too late.
"Sunset Shimmer. Principal Celestia's office. Now!" The teacher shouted as she went to help Flash up. Sunset narrowed her eyes slightly but just picked up her backpack and pushed her chair out. She took one sad glance at her friends before storming out of class and towards Principal Celestia's office. Sunset stood in front of Celestia's door,breathed in and out then knocked twice.
"Come in," Celestia spoke from inside before Sunset opened the door. Celestia looked up from her desk and let a tiny frown grace her lips.
"Ah yes Sunset, I was expecting you,"
"Go figure. So which part am in more trouble for?" Sunset asked,closing the door behind her before continuing "Swearing in front of a teacher or breaking Flash's nose?"
"Well both aren't acceptable, Sunset,"
"I'm aware and yet it didn't stop me did it?" Sunset spoke as she looked out the window with a bored expression. Celestia observed Sunset's expression for a moment before speaking.
"You're troubled,"
"Huh?" Sunset responded as she tuned back into the converstion,her eyes widening slightly at the principal's concerned expression.
"You have not been yourself recently. Sunset you have to think about who else is affected by your actions and mood at the moment," Celestia spoke softly,her eyes showing slight sadness for the firey haired girl. Sunset looked directly at Celestia before slumping into her chair and putting her head into her hands.
"You think I don't know that? But this is just something I can't talk about right now. I don't wanna hurt my friends or leave them in the dark but sometimes-" She trailed off,sliding her hands down her face until they fell to her side "-you have to keep things to yourself to protect the people you care about,"
Celestia tensed slightly,biting her lip. She gripped the edge of her desk before she ripped a piece of paper out of her notebook and scribbled down something then handed it to Sunset. Sunset looked between Celestia and the piece of paper a few times before taking it.
"What's this?"
"A note to excuse your actions but just this once." Celestia spoke with a stern look. Sunset raised an eyebrow with her mouth open slightly before she looked at the note and let out a loud laugh.
"Mentally unstable? Oh I like this one," Sunset spoke with a the first genuine smile she had managed today. Celestia couldn't help the small smile that graced her lips at the sight but it was only for a couple of seconds until she waved her hand towards the door.
"Alright just don't milk it," She spoke,looking up once more to see Sunset with a shit-eating grin. Celestia paled.
"Sunset no,"
"Sunset yes,"
"Sunset I swear to god..."
"Can I at least say I have something like PTSD?"
"Sunset!"
"Relax I won't milk it," Sunset replied with a wave of her hand before grabbing her bag and slinging it over her shoulder,flipping up her hood. Right before Sunset walked out the office Celestia spoke up.
"I understand you know. I'm here to talk if you need me,Sunset,". Sunset stopped dead in her tracks at that and hung her head but couldn't help but let out a little chuckle at that.
"..thanks,"
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
"And thats why-"
"Oh shit waddup!" Sunset yelled as she swung the door open to the class and strolled in after taking her hood off again. She whipped out the note and handed it to her techer "This is for you from Principal Celestia to let you know that what I did is excused. You hear that,Sentry? I got to break your nose and get off scott free!"
Flash scowled "I'll get you for this, Shimmer,"
"Now now I wouldn't be so hasty, you'll regret it,"
"And what makes you say that?"
"I'll show you a sneak preview. Hey Twi!" Sunset yelled causing Twilight to look up with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes?"
"I overheard Flash saying he was gonna bang you into next week!"
"Wait what?! I-I didn't...that wasn't...no!" Flash shouted,shooting up out of his chair and turning around to look at Twilight, who looked absolutely mortified but also very angry.
"Did he now?" Twilight asked through gritted teeth,gripping the book in her hand with all her might to stop her from lashing out. Sunset shook her head and leant over to whisper in Flash's ear.
"What were you saying before? 'You'll get me for this' ?" . Sunset shot the teacher an apologetic look before she went to take Twilight's other hand that wasn't gripping the book and drag her outside. Quickly closing the door behind them, Sunset looked at Twilight sadly.
"Uh sorry about that..it was just the heat of the moment and I wanted to prove a point..." Sunset spoke softly,looking away in embarrassment and rubbing the back of her neck nervously. Twilight looked up at her taller friend and let out a sigh,loosening the grip on her book and smiling softly.
"Hey its alright. Actually I'm glad you told me before he tried something on me," Twilight said,pushing up her glasses. Sunset glanced at her and grinned,putting her arms behind her head.
"So you wanna ditch this joint? I probably won't be let back in now and I kinda don't want to hang out alone," Sunset spoke,clicking the heel of her shoe on the floor as she stared into classroom with her lips in a thin line. Twilight bit her lip and glanced over the rim of her glasses at the door. She breathed in and responded.
"Okay,"
"Oh c'mon Twi you-wait did you just agree?"
"Yeah. Skipping a class is on my bucket list of things to do before I leave school,"
"Of course it is," Sunset mumbled,shaking her head but couldn't help but let out a small smile. She streched out a hand to Twilight. Twilight looked at her with a small blush which only made Sunset chuckle.
"Twilight its just hand holding,"
"I know that!" Twilight said loudly and out of pure stubborness, grabbed Sunset's hand and dragged her along. Sunset kept her mouth shut and followed along. She knew when Twilight was in one of these moods its best not to say anything.
Sunset had managed to loosen her grip as they got near the front entrance but still kept her hand in Twilight's. Twilight looked up at Sunset and gave her a smile which Sunset returned with a wink and a smirk. Of course that made Twilight go red and quickly her head away. While she enjoyed teasing Twilight, Sunset also loved her company. It helped take her mind off everything else that was going on in her life. Sunset was about to speak as the exited the building but stopped when a feather dropped in front of them. Sunset could only frown and narrow her eyes slightly at it. She knew excatly who it was.
"Huh. Thats weird. There are no birds around," Twilight spoke up as she leant down and picked up the feather.
"Yeah...really weird..." Sunset trailed off,looking to the building to the left of her and narrowing her eyes even more at the figure. Sunset glanced at Twilight and quickly pointed to absolutly nothing.
"Look Twi! A robin!"
"Really?! Where?!" Twilight exclaimed excitiedly,spinning around to look in the direction Sunset pointed in. Sunset glared at the figure and signed the words 'later,asshole' in sign language. Sunset could tell he laughed at her before disappearing. Smug dickhead.
"I can't see it," Twilight said after about 10 seconds,putting a hand over her eyes to shield them from the sun.
"I guess I startled it. Sorry Sparky," Sunset said apologetically. Twilight was a little disappointed but just shrugged.
"No big deal there are plenty around Canterlot anyway. So should we go to Sugarcube Corner?" Twilight asked and Sunset just nodded in responce,walking along the street with the book worm but she was keeping a close eye out.
She was going to get him for this.
