Alternate Ending: Last Day With Sunset?

Last Morning Together

Three days had passed and the day for Starlight to return home had arrived. When they woke up Sunset seemed sad, very sad and Starlight knew that it was because she would be returning home that day. She embraced her and said, "Sunset, everything will be alright, it's not like we'll never see each other again."

Sunset returned the embrace and sighed, "I know but still, not having someone to hold me at night and simply be with all the time will be hard on me."

She would not admit it, especially to Sunset, she was really looking forward to going home and she wanted to try to speed up the process without her knowing that she wanted to leave and then it hit her, they could have one more get together with Sunset's friends and after that, she could head home. She suggested, "Sunset, what would you think about meeting up with your friends before I head home."

Sunset clearly looked disappointed that she brought up going home that quickly but agreed to her plan, "Yeah we could do that."

Starlight added, "And besides, the sweets' shop is on the way to the portal."

Sunset was surprised by how quickly Starlight was to get out of bed as for the past couple days, they had laid in bed until almost noon and it made her wonder what was up. She asked, "Starlight, what's the rush? The past couple days we stayed in bed for so long but you almost seem like you're in a hurry to get back home."

Starlight replied, "It's not that." Starlight felt like Sunset was already picking up what her true desires were but would be saved when her stomach growled loudly. She then continued, "It's just that I'm really hungry and some sweets sound really good."

Sunset's stomach too growled and she replied, "Yeah I guess some sweets sound good and besides, I'm pretty sure my friends are wondering what happened to us."

Starlight grabbed Sunset by the hand and they headed into the bathroom to take a shower. They both enjoyed their final shower together and engaged in the same activities that they had been but for Starlight, it seemed to be forever until they were finished and headed out to meet up with her friends.

One Final Meet-Up

Starlight was seriously hoping that they could hurry up, get to the sweets' shop, have a quick bite to eat and then get to the portal so she could get home but that was not what Sunset had in store for them. That morning it took Sunset a while longer than normal to get her hair brushed and the more paranoid part of Starlight was thinking that Sunset was doing that on purpose. After what seemed like forever, Sunset was finally ready to go and they headed off to the sweets' shop.

When they arrived they were clinging to one another like they were three days earlier. Her friends gave her curious smiles and the first to say anything was Rarity, "Sunset, Starlight darlings, where have you been the past three days?"

Sunset buried her face in Starlight's hair and blushed, "Well, we were at home just hanging out."

With the exception of Fluttershy, her friends gave them smiles and the one who seemed to be the most curious was Pinkie. She asked, "Sunset, you should have told me what you were going to do so that we could throw you a party!"

Sunset clung on to Starlight tighter and went silent as she had no desire to tell them what happened but Starlight knew that their questions were making Sunset uncomfortable. She replied, "What we did isn't something that people share with one another in public, or anywhere for that matter."

Despite their continued curiosity, they reluctantly dropped the issue. Once it was clear that their activities would no longer be the topic of discussion, Sunset and Starlight sat down to enjoy some treats with them. Other than knowing she came from the same place Sunset came from, Sunset's friends did not know much about Starlight and wanted to have a longer conversation with her.

The first to ask anything was Applejack, "So Starlight, Ah know you're from Equestria but what do you do there?"

Starlight replied, "Well I am currently, well I was, the student of Princess Twilight until I graduated after saving Equestria from Chrysalis."

Rainbow asked, "Who is Chrysalis?"

Starlight replied, "She is a changeling queen who tried to take over Equestria by having her subjects duplicate some of the most beloved ponies in Equestria." She cast her gaze at them more intently and continued, "And the odd thing is, five of the ones captured are a lot like the five of you and even carry the same names...."

Sunset interrupted, "Starlight, I don't know if I ever told you this or not but the reason they carry the same names and personalities is that this is a parallel world to Equestria."

Starlight asked, "Parallel world, what the hay is a parallel world?"

Sunset replied, "Basically everything is the same except that here we are humans and no one has magic."

Starlight asked, "So basically everyone here has the exact same personalities and everyone here is just a duplicate of a pony in Equestria?" She turned to Sunset and asked, "So have you ever ran into the copy of yourself here?"

Sunset replied, "No I haven't, I don't know where she is or if she even exists because I would think that she would have been a student at CHS."

While they knew that Starlight meant no harm, all the talk of the parallel world thing was bothering Sunset's friends. Applejack asked, "Ah don't know about y'all, but how about we talk about something else, something other than parallel worlds?"

Starlight was hoping that this would open the door to them being able to get going sooner so she replied, "Sounds good to me."

Despite them still being very curious about Starlight and wanting to know more about her, Starlight became a lot more vague in answering questions about her and finally after an hour of chatting and snacking Starlight suggested, "Well Sunset, shall we head to the portal so I can return to Equestria?"

Sunset had a look of sadness on her face as she replied, "Yeah, I'm sure Twilight is expecting you to be back before too long."

Starlight nodded and the two headed towards the portal. Starlight wasn't sure whether Sunset could read her emotions or not but with each passing moment she was wanting to hurry up, get home and be a unicorn again.

Saying Goodbye/A Change of Plans

As the two headed towards the portal, it seemed like Starlight was walking faster, pulling Sunset along rather than walking slowly and clinging to her like she had been. Once they arrived at the portal Sunset was going to find out why she was going so fast. She asked, "Starlight, it seems like you've been in a hurry all day and since we left the sweets' shop, we haven't been clinging together, you've been walking so fast you're just pulling me by the hand. Are you in a hurry to get back to Equestria?"

Starlight had hoped that she would be able to hide her building desire to hurry and get home but since she gave herself away, she figured she better be honest with Sunset. She replied, "Actually yes Sunset, I am." She saw Sunset's face drop and continued, "It isn't that I want to hurry up and get away from you. I really like you and enjoy spending time with you but my home is in Equestria and I'm really excited to get home and be with my friends."

Sunset asked, "I can understand that but we will be seeing each other again won't we?"

Starlight replied, "Of course we will. You should come to Equestria sometime and you can meet my friends."

Sunset asked, "Do you think they would like me?"

Starlight replied, "I'm sure they would." She became more excited as she continued, "And I have friends all over Equestria. I have friends in Ponyville, I have friends out in that town I used to run and I know you'd enjoy going with Trixie and I to the changeling kingdom to meet Thorax and the rest of the hive." Her excitement only grew further as she continued, "And you'll have to have some of Sugar Belle's treats! They are the tastiest things that I've ever had and I know you'll love them too!"

Sunset could tell that Starlight was obviously in a huge hurry to return to Equestria and didn't want to do too much to keep her. She pulled Starlight close and said, "Well Starlight, I guess this is goodbye for now." She gave her a tender kiss before continuing, "I have enjoyed everything we have done and I will always remember our moments but I do hope that you will come back and we can have more sensual moments."

Coming back was something that Starlight really didn't want to do ever again but didn't want to bring that up. She replied, "Yeah, we can have more sensual moments and maybe we could have sensual moments in Equestria too."

Sunset really wasn't sure about that. She knew that Starlight wanted to return to being a pony badly, very badly. She knew that magic was literally part of her. There was one thing though, she knew that engaging in the types of activities they did over the past few days as a pony wouldn't be the same. Yes ponies have horns that they could give one another horn sex with but she loved it when Starlight would suck on her tits but as a pony, that wouldn't happen. Hands also made things so much easier.

Sunset knew that this was likely wrong to keep Starlight away from her friends but once Starlight began to approach the portal, she grabbed Starlight's shoulder and said, "Wait."

Starlight turned around and saw a look of sadness on Sunset's face. She had a feeling as to what Sunset was going to ask but wanted to hear it from her. She asked, "You want me to stay, don't you?"

Sunset thought that maybe if she pleaded with her, that she could get her to stay with her for a while longer, "Yes, I do. I want you to stay so bad." Her face became sadder as she continued, "I want to continue to be able to hold you at night, I want us to continue to shower together, I want us to continue to cuddle and just talk and I want us to continue to bond in the most intimate ways."

Starlight began to think about things as Sunset told her all that. Yes she did want to go home and become a unicorn again but she couldn't deny that the time she had spent with Sunset was truly wonderful. She couldn't deny that everything she had done with Sunset was so wonderful and that she had bonded with her, a lot and that she did want more of it, much more.

She gave her a smile and replied, "Alright Sunset, I can wait to go home. We'll just have to let Twilight know that I don't know when I'll be home." She gave her a kiss and continued, "You can tell her that we have bonded so much that right now we don't want to be apart!"

Sunset squeezed her tightly and exclaimed, "Thank you so much Starlight! Let's go home and I'll let Twilight know."

Once again the two clung to one another as they headed back to her place. As they headed home, Sunset began to imagine everything that the future might bring them. While she wasn't completely sure, she had a feeling that Starlight had much stronger feelings for her that she was letting on.

Once they got back to Sunset's place, she immediately grabbed the book. She opened it and suggested that Starlight be the one to contact her. Starlight agreed and wrote,

"Twilight,

I know I am probably late coming home but Sunset and I have been talking and both of us want me to stay longer. We have grown really close and while this may sound weird, I can't help but want to stay with her and she wants us to stay together for longer. Right now I'm not sure how much longer I will be staying but this will be up to both of us. I do hope you understand.

Starlight

Dear Princess Twilight,

It is me Sunset. I want to let you know that I asked Starlight to stay longer with me and she agreed. You see, she means an awful lot to me and I mean an awful lot to her too. Her time so far has been spent almost exclusively with me, that is how close we have grown and we simply aren't ready to part. I hope it is ok for her to stay longer.

Your Friend,

Sunset Shimmer"

Sunset let Starlight read what she wrote and she gave her a smile as Sunset closed the book and the message was sent. The two gave one another a smile and moved in for a kiss. Before their lips met though, Sunset's book began buzzing again. Sunset opened it up to read the following,

"Starlight,

Am I reading this right? Are you really wanting to stay in the human world with Sunset and not have any magic? If that truly is the case, I know that she must mean a ton to you because magic is literally what defines you. While I was hoping that you would be home already, I am perfectly fine with you staying there with Sunset for as long as you want to.

Sunset,

I must say I am very surprised. I'm not so much surprised about how you two have bonded but I am much more surprised that you have bonded with Starlight so much that she is willing to sacrifice her magic, her pony life span and everything else she has as a pony to stay with you. I'm betting you two are probably much more than close friends and if you haven't stated so yet, you should. I do have one favor to ask of both of you, please do come and visit sometime.

Your Friend,

Twilight Sparkle"

After reading the message the two embraced and began to kiss. Sunset was incredibly happy that the girl she had fallen for so quickly seemed to have done the same with her. Earlier in the day when it seemed that Starlight would be going home, that she would be all alone in her house once more. Now, it looked like she would have Starlight with her for quite some time, perhaps even forever.
