A few hours later in the Stadium Locker rooms....

"Gyah! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow,ow!!!!" Rainbow whined in pain as Fluttershy wrapped up her leg in bandages having finished propping it into a makeshift cast for her friend.

"I know it hurts Dashie but try and stay still, you can't put to much pressure on it yet." Fluttershy said with a small pout and sigh as she finished wrapping up her leg. "You are so reckless you know that?" Fluttershy said puffing out her cheeks at Rainbow Dash for once again being an airheaded jock who was willing to throw herself into danger and damage her body to either win or protect others; in this case it was both.

"Well you know me, I never go anything but 100%" Rainbow chuckled and winced still in pain.

"If only that were true for your school work" Twilight muttered with a roll of her eyes.

"What was that poindexter?" Rainbow replied quickly which just as quickly flustered Sci-Twi who learned very early on in their friendship that trying to get into a teasing match with Rainbow, Sunset or Pinkie Pie was unwise and so she quickly shut her mouth after squeaking out a quick.

"Nothing" Twilight squeaked

"Thought so; anyway we had to do something! I mean Dust, Zap & Cloud; I know them, I know their skills, their stats...everything; when it comes to sports I ALWAYS do my homework and I can tell you this for sure, those moves they were pulling off were not normal and I think we all know what it was right?" Rainbow said looking to all her other friends.

"Magic" They all replied in a semi grim tone.

"Bingo; now luckily no one turned raging she demon but if anyone was gonna come close it was Lightning Dust; she holds one helluva mean grudge against me still and we all know Equestrian magic + negative emotions= raging she demon." Rainbow explained.

"Why does she hate you again?" Rarity asked surprisingly out of the loop on why exactly Lightning Dust hated Rainbow Dash with such passion.

"Really? You don't remember? She enrolled at CHS for like a month and was on the soccer team with me and was my partner in gym but she was so competitive and was too into 'testing and breaking her limits' and after a dodge ball match that ended up putting Fluttershy in the nurses office for a day? I was done with her; Celestia and Luna expelled her after she tried to have me jumped by the those diamond dog goons at school." Rainbow explained to Rarity who had all but forgotten about the incident.

"Oh yes now I remember; do forgive me darling I have honestly lost track of all the hooligans we've had to deal with since sophomore year" She chuckled sheepishly as Sunset shot her a look. "Um no offense of course darling"

"None taken, hooligan is putting what I was VERY politely." Sunset chuckled wryly remembering how much of a raging bitch she was even before the demon transformation.

"But how in the hay did Rainbow shatter her leg like that? It wasn't cuz of us was it?" Applejack asked who looked worried along with Pinkie feeling responsible for what happened to Rainbow.

"Nah it isn't your faults, least I don't think so; I felt my foot break a few seconds after I power blasted that ball with it. It was like all the magical energy I could muster got channeled into my foot and then when I unleashed on the ball? The backlash broke my foot." She said explaining what had happened in the moments leading up to her kicking the ball.

"Hm this may be another side effect of our powers, we really ought to get more into studying what recoil our powers can have on us as a result of using them too much or exceeding a limit. My theory is that your body while strong couldn't handle the massive magical output and therefore the backlash crushed and broke your leg." Sunset explained as she examined Rainbow. "In Equestria it's a very similar concept for unicorns who practice or even use battle spells. You have to make sure your body is capable of handling the amount of magic you can output otherwise your body is bound to break. In this case? It was your leg."

"Though I do have to say that your abilities in this instance were much more impressive than they are normally. While the match was going on I was recording some data-" Twilight said as she began to pull some equipment out of her backpack.

"How did you even...you know what nevermind, you gathering data on stuff is like Pinkie using her Pinkie sense; I have learned not to question it." Sunset said not bothering to ask how Twilight managed to record anything during all that chaos.

"I am always prepared that's how. Anyway I was going over my readings, your output of energy was much higher than I've recorded in other readings-"

"Have you been following me around?!" Rainbow asked aghast.

"Pft tch nooooo of course not; I never conduct experiments and research without consent." Twilight was obviously lying but Applejack didn't bother to call it out this time because she knew Twilight meant well. Pulling out a scanner she showed a hologram image of Rainbows cutie mark as Sunset had called it a few times and it was shown to be full of energy.

"These are your readings from last week." She scrolled the image over one and showed that the mark was shaking and crackling in spots. "These are your readings from two hours ago, it started getting this way when you and Lightning Dust had that blitzing clash a couple of times for the ball on the field, each time you clashed with her your energy levels boosted by as much as 10% when it usually scales in 5% intervals"

"Looks like we may need to undergo that training sooner than we thought, because I was watching that match to and each of you in some way showed signs of new powers or at least that your powers are growing and evolving. In rainbow's case she is getting faster and the addition of electricity makes sense given the lightning bolt on your cutie mark." Sunset stated as she looked over Twilight's energy readings, the little geek always did never cease to impress her.

"Awesome! A chance to get strong-ooooow!" Rainbow winced as he bumped her leg against the ground when she attempted to stand up.

"You aren't doing any kind of training with a leg like that missy" Fluttershy stated sternly.

"Aw c'mo-" Rainbow began to say but was silenced when Fluttershy began to give her the stare. She the uttered a quick. "Yes ma'am" And hung her head.

"Good but I will see what I can do to maybe help you heal faster, I know how much training means to you Dashie" Fluttershy said ever still the kindest and sweetest girl Rainbow knew. She had basically been playing her nurse since they were little kids and Rainbow had always protected Fluttershy from bullies(except Sunset Shimmer) and in return Fluttershy always patched Rainbow up when she was done with them. She hated seeing Rainbow Dash hurt but she knew that the girl did what she did to protect others and would do so even at the risk of harming herself.

"Till then we also need to find out where the Hell that surge of dark magic came from; I am pretty sure it wasn't the sirens, there was no singing and while everyone was being obnoxious, loud and mildly unruly? No one was ready to start throwing punches yet especially after we sung our song. It would seem our increase in magic power has also had an effect on our music."

"How so?" Rarity asked

"Well look at what happened when we used our magic against the sirens and broke their spell, everyone just stopped being brainwashed and that was that. But this time? Everyone was incredibly more happy and the crowd was almost euphoric after our song was over. I have a theory about why but we need to do more tests and see exactly what happens; but something else that's clear? Someone has their hands on Equestrian magic and has a heart laced with malice, the chaos that was about to break out was unreal" Sunset mentioned and then a light went off in her head as she began to formulate another theory and put a special note to herself in the back of her mind to send a letter to princess Twilight ASAP.

"This is indeed quite the mystery but I am sure we can pull through, we always do right?" Rarity spoke up in the hopes to keep everyone's spirits high.

"Ah agree with Rarity, we got a lot of work ahead of us but we'll pull through just like always." Applejack stated taking sides with Rarity on this stance.

"Yeah its not like we haven't had to deal with magic making people go all koko got coco puffs before! We should be totes okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie said and Twilight and Sunset said nothing fully used to small picks at their magical temper tantrums.

"Well I'unno about you girls but I'm about ready to go home and lay down" Rainbow said using the crutches she was given to stand up as she hobbled toward the doors of the locker room only to be ambushed by her mother and father being wrapped in a big hug.

"OH MY LITTLE DASHIE!!!!! I WAS SOOOOOO WORRIED FOR YOU! BUT YOU WERE SO AMAZINGLY AWESOME OUT THERE HONEY! I ALWAYS KNEW MY LITTLE DASHIE WOULD BE AN ALLSTAR SOME DAY!" Windy Whistles shouted as she wrapped her daughter in a hug and pressed her into her very large motherly bosom, to this day Dash wonders how she never inherited that trait of her mothers still having smaller tits than Rarity...Flipping Rarity!!!

"THAT'S MY LITTLE GIRL! SHE'S A TROOPER! THOSE SHADOWBOLT PUNKS NEVER STOOD A CHANCE! DIDJA SEE HERE ZOOMIN' ABOUT OUT THERE?! GODS ABOVE I HELPED BIRTH SUCH A BAD ASS!" Bow Hothoof was VERY proud that his little girl was such a killer striker and he shamelessly showed it.

As for Rainbow Dash she was trying to ignore the pain in her leg as well as not die of embarrassment from her parents praise and coddling of her.

"Mooooooooom?! Daaaaddy!!! Stooooooop!!!" Rainbow protested as her friends all shared a chuckle and a giggle at her flailing against her parents affection.

"Whoopsy, sorry Dashie" Windy set Dash down gently and saw her daughter could barely stand and pouted a little bit seeing that her little champion had gotten hurt. "My that does look bad, when we get home I'll run you a nice hot bath so you can soak that sweetie"

"And I'll set you up in the entertainment center so you don't get bored; you earned it slugger!" Bow said ruffling the girls hair which made her blush.

"I'll tag along and make sure she keeps off her feet, I just need to check in at the animal shelter and make sure Tree Hugger and Daisy are okay to close up while I am gone." Fluttershy said taking a seat right next to Rainbow,

"Guess ah'll mosey on back to the farm then, granny needs help gettin' things ready for tomorrow. Big Mac has a hot date with his new sugarcube so I Applebloom and I are gonna handle it with granny." Applejack chuckled and looked toward pinkie nudging her cousin playfully. "Yer head baker sure has a thing for apples eh cus'?"

"Heheheh yes indeedy she does! She's alwaaaays making apple goodies and talking about Big Mac and his big co-" Pinkie began to spill the beans a bit too much and was quickly silenced by Rarity who pinched the girls lips.

"Oookay that's enough saucy talk for now darlings. I don't know about you but I for one like Rainbow could use a hot bath and some well deserved beauty sleep." Rarity stated as she released pinkie.

"Hehehe ok, ok; you're right anyway Rarity; I gotta get back home so I can babysit the twins anyway. You get home and rest up champ!" Pinkie said as she had to get back to the home she shared with the cakes so she could preform one of the many duties she had to preform as pay for staying there; babysitting their twin children Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake.

"Ehehe t-thanks you everyone" Rainbow said as she accepted her parents offers. They spoiled her and knew it however Rainbow loved them all the more for it even though they were a bit over the top at times. She was happy to have won the trophy for Canterlot High and to have helped save everyone. But then she remembered something.

"Oh hey um what about the shadowbolts and everyone else? They gonna be okay?" Rainbow sounded concerned.

"They are all in the hospital, banged up pretty hard but they'll live. Hehehe not everyone is tough as you are slugger." Bow slapped his daughter on the back making her groan in pain.

"Owwwwwwwww!" Rainbow whined.

"Oh now look at what you did Bow heavy-hands!" Windy Whistles fumed in motherly fury at her husband and then turned a compassionate and dotting set of eyes to her daughter and massaged her back where her father had slapped and hugged her from behind which flustered Rainbow further.

"Moooooooom!!!!" Rainbow whined.

"Hehehe well we will let your parents and Fluttershy take you home Dash; rest up and see you at graduation tomorrow." Sunset said as she got up from her place on the bench in the locker room and grabbed her backpack and looked over to Twilight Sparkle. "You coming? We still have some planning to do and you gotta practice the valedictorian speech" Sunset said with a slight hint of salt in her tone and Twilight instantly got a very rare smug grin on her face.

"Yes...Yes I do don't I?" Twilight didn't give a damn about how smug she was being right now, she earned bragging rights as per their agreement.

"Yes...Yes you do oh great and ingenious Twilight Sparkle" Sunset said rolling her eyes with a chuckle as that was also part of the agreement. 'Can't believe I have to call her that all the way up to graduation! Argh I can't believe I lost that bet because of ONE A- in history! Stupid human world history!' Sunset fumed slightly the more she thought about how once again she was outdone by Twilight Sparkle in terms of academics and she had Twilight's smug little grin and giggle stuck in her mind as well as the scene of Twilight doing the most adorkable and hilarious happy dance she had ever seen when she had won their bet. It made Sunset blush each time she thought about it and Twilight knew it and had been making it a habit to bring it up at any chance she was given.

"Hehehe c'mon Sunny it isn't so bad; being #1 isn't important to me, the fact that I managed to maintain good grades and make it into the Everton Advance Science Program is more than enough for me." Twilight said genuinely as she was done teasing Sunset on the matter for now, for her smug was ugly when worn to long and she didn't want to be a meanie and continuously rub her accomplishment in Sunset's face.

"It's fine Twi like I said before, I got the reputation as most popular, best bad girl, best princess and a bunch of other things from school, you earned this all on your own by being the cute little dork you are in likely every other universe." Sunset said with a teasing smile as she left the stadium with Twilight Sparkle and walked out to her motorcycle which was parked where all motorcycles were allowed to be parked. Unlocking it and taking out her helmet she would also hand one to Twilight, she had gotten one custom made for each of her friends using both her skills at scavenging and her skills as an artist to spruce up old helmets from demolition derby graveyards in the more seedy parts of town.

"Oh ha ha, very funny Sunny; c'mon let's go" Sci-Twi chuckled and rolled her eyes at her friend and took the helmet and hopped on the back of her motorcycle, wrapping her arms around the girls waist she nestled close to her as Sunset revved up and got ready to take off.

"Alright here we go!" Sunset said taking off quickly and once they were clear out of the parking lot of the stadium? She bolted and zoomed off toward her small apartment. It wasn't too far from Twilight's house if you knew where you were going; in fact it was really only a few blocks distance between their homes.

As Sunset came to a stop she came around to the back and parked her motorcycle and placed a tarp over it making sure to activate the lock system. Having a super geek like Twilight Sparkle for friend had many perks, one of which was access to some of the coolest tech one could think of. The girl was very much the isolated mad scientist before meeting the rainbooms but now that she had met them? Now she was was a much less secretive mad scientist but still very much a mad scientist and a damn adorkable one too! She had built Sunset a special padlock for her bike that worked with super powerful magnets and supported a nifty electronic lock system and it was completely life proof, Twilight was a genius in a league of her own and anything she built was built to last.

Locking up her bike she walked to the back and used her special backdoor key to get inside, it was a key only tenants of this apartment could use and luckily? She was the only tenant, being in the good graces of Celestia and Luna legitimately had its perks too and one of them was fast access to room and board which was how she managed to live in this world and she maintained her rent through working at the Sushi shop and the video game shop at the mall not to mention pulling in extra money with their shows as the Rainbooms. It was a nice apartment that had a couple of floors and she made use of every single inch, it was like the entire place was her room and she could climb up and down via ladders and rope pull systems; it reminded her of Equestria in a small way but if she asked Sunset how she would say 'It's a pony thing'.

As of now though? The place was all but packed up save for her bed, dresser, laptop and television. Since they would all be moved into the Golden Oaks Library soon she had to give this place up but luckily for her she knew of two girls who wanted and needed this place and she would officially be giving them the keys tomorrow after graduation as a gift. Coming into the apartment she kicked off her sneakers, tossed off her jacket and went straight to her bed. Plopping down on her back she reached over to the side of her bed and grabbed a can of soda and cracked it open and chugged it and once she finished it she gave an almighty sigh of relief.

"Sweet Celestia's Mane!! I can't wait for tomorrow!" Sunset exclaimed throwing her hands up in the air.

"Hehehe aww aren't you gonna miss High School though?" Sci-Twi asked in light tease taking a seat herself on a nearby beanbag chair of a purple hue.

"Pft Hell no; don't get me wrong, I loved high school for all the fun and the laughs but I'm ready to move passed the drama and the craziness of High School and trade up to something new." Sunset said sitting up on her bed and crossing her legs Indian style.

"I concur" Twilight added pushing up her glasses after nodding.

Snickering Sunset smiled and stuck out her tongue at Twilight. " I concur. That's what you sound like"

"I do not!" Twilight said blushing and pouting at Sunset's tease of her voice.

"Hehehe yes it is. 'I'm Twilight Sparkle, I think I'm sooooo smart.'" Sunset teased further and then leaped over to Twilight and snatched her glasses off her face and put them on herself.

"H-Hey! Give those back!" Twilight yelped and gave chase.

Sunset had then put her hair up into a cute bun similar to how Twilight would put up her hair when she would work in the science lab or in her laboratory in her backyard.

" 'I'm Twilight Sparkle, girl genius! Look at me solve this impossibly complex math problem without even trying.' " Sunset teased drawing up a random equation and solving it in record time only to have Twilight reply.

"The answer is wrong. You didn't carry the two over three spaces." Twilight stated in a matter a fact tone pushing up her glasses again.

Sunset for her part in that moment was stuck, stunned and had no words. So her only response was to be cliche and she tossed a pillow at Twilight Sparkle knowing full well what this action would incite. As the plush fluff smacked Twilight square in the face and knocked her into the beanbag chair she had previously been sitting in she got up and blew her frazzled hair out of her face and using her magic she yanked her glasses back and then using her magic still she grabbed the remaining pillows from Sunset's bed and smirked deviously.

"So...Do you yield?"

Sunset Shimmer however? Was no coward!

"Shut up and show me what you've got Dorky!" Sunset said, cheesy and cliche? Yes but these were their final moments of High School and who knows when they may have moments like this again? Lunging at Twilight with a pillow in hand she was tossed onto the bed with Twilight's magic and then bombarded by a barrage of pillows. Yelping and scrambling Sunset attempted to escape the attack but Twilight and her use of her magic had gotten very strong especially in this instance it seemed.

"Hehehe if you insist 'little pony' "Twilight said, her voice taking on a slight ominous tone for only a split second. She stopped the bombardment of pillows and then pounced Sunset Shimmer herself and pinned her to the bed and kept her still with her telekinetic powers. Staring down at Sunset who was now unable to escape Twilight spoke again.

"So you wanna 'See what I've got' huh?" Twilight asked Sunset in a saucy manner with a set of bedroom eyes one wouldn't think the introvert capable of.

"T-Twi what are you-" Sunset blushed and suddenly felt her entire body heating up as she had never seen Twilight like this before. She had her tumbles with the nerd before, they had tossed one another around in mini wrestling matches with Rainbow, had pillow and tickle fights with Pinkie and Fluttershy and had even been there when Rarity and Applejack decided to 'experiment' with each other on a dare from Rainbow Dash but never had she though Twilight would do something like this.

Putting a shushing finger to the pony girls lips Twilight hushed her. "Shhhhhh...hush. You know Sunset a lot of people tend to think I am this very smart yet very dense bookworm who can't get a grip on social interaction and for the most part that's true; however-"

Twilight spoke as she moved her hands along Sunset's body, slowly and tantalizingly tracing her purple finger tips across Sunset's growing hot amber flesh. It made Sunset shiver and twitch in ways she had only felt on nights when she had to dip her hand into her pajamas to relive an itch.

"-I am a lot more in tune with these sorts of things than people may think. Wouldn't you agree Sunny?" Twilight asked Sunset as she looked her directly in the eyes but meanwhile her hands had taken hold of Sunset's supple and few cup sizes larger than her own, breasts and lightly pinched her nipples.

"M-Mmmhm!" Sunset nodded in response and had bitten her lip to hide a lewd moan. That part of her body was very sensitive.

"I'm so glad you feel that way; because you know I have been doing a lot of thinking lately. You know Timber and I broke up during this past summer vacation and I've been single ever since then. Oh sure you all tried to 'get me back in the game' even going as far to set up dates for me with boys you thought I'd like but it surprises me that you all never thought to try to alternative...hehehe not that I blame you, I guess I never really telegraphed much that I was into girls...however you? I am almost shocked." Twilight replied with a minor pout on her face.

Confused yet curious Sunset finally opened her mouth to speak. "W-What do you m-eeean?"

Rolling her eyes she chuckled in a 'seriously?' like manner. "Oh come on don't act like you never noticed how much I always blushed around you, how I always wanted to get your advice before anyone else, how much more comfortable I am around you, how I am always; ALWAYS looking at your amazing rear!" Twilight proclaimed, finally letting all her feelings spill out after keeping them bottled up for so long.

"I had always thought 'you don't have a chance with her, shes out of your league, shes so cool and confident and pretty and you're just...plain ol twilight sparkle.' and then I met Timber Spruce and figured 'maybe I can make this work, Sunset seems to approve; she isn't trying to stop me from going out with him'" Twilight explained her thought process and how it lead to her dating Timber and the events that followed it.

"But then as time went on Timber and I grew apart but you and I? We grew closer and closer by the day; I honestly think Timber was jealous and that's one of the reasons why he dumped me but even when that happened you were there to comfort me, to make me feel better when I felt so lonely and confused and I only repaid you with snuggles." Twilight said as if stating that cuddles wasn't good enough payment for Sunset's kindness. Fondling the girls breasts still she leaned in close until their lips were inches apart.

"I've waited to say and do this for so long and I'm done waiting and playing the oblivious little geek who doesn't know how to take what she wants." Twilight spoke and yet her eyes, it was as if someone else was also speaking. Not so much taking control but giving Twilight Sparkle a desperate push. 'You'll thank me later Twily'

"So here it is; I want you Sunset Shimmer. You can have your way with me anyway you want as long as I give consent; all I want is for you to be happy, you do so much for others, so much to make amends for a past that's long and far behind you; but when was the last time you were just a little selfish-?" She grinned a smile that was very similar to one worn by Midnight Sparkle and leaned in to whisper in her ear.

"-And did something for yourself hm? So c'mon little pony...tell me what Sunny wants" Twilight asked if both pleading and demanding. As she pressed her body close against Sunset she could feel their hearts beating rapidly.

Sunset took a good 10 second to think things over and after those 10 seconds she figured the best way to find out if this was a good idea to go through with was to use her powers to understand Twilight's feelings in a way she had only done briefly once. Feeling caught in the moment she leaned in and kissed Twilight deep on the lips and Twilight's eyes went wide while Sunset's eyes flashed white. Scenes of Twilight pining over Sunset, wishing she could have her, be with her, love her, care for her and of course make love to her played in Sunset's minds eye as she kissed Twilight. As she kept the kiss going for a full minute she finally broke the kiss and when the white light faded from her eyes she looked back at Sci-Twi and smiled a wolfish smirk and Sci-Twi then knew she had done it. Sunset Shimmer was hers now and she would at last fulfill her desires.

Smiling she would loosen her magical grip and allow Sunset's hands to go where they wanted the first place they rested was on Twilight's plump purple rear. Twilight nibbled her bottom lip and smiled feeling the strong and firm grip on her cheeks as she looked down at Sunset.

"So is my little pony ready for a ride?" Twilight asked with the sexiest adorkable grin she could muster.

Licking her lips she would smack Twilight on the ass and grip her cheeks firm in her hands giving Twilight bedroom eyes that would make Rarity proud and a devious smile that would make Adagio Dazzle blush.

"Let's get it on dork"
