“Twilight, you look fine.” Twilight doesn’t turn to face Sunset, but she eyes her in the mirror. She bites her lip and fingers at the hair curling at her shoulders. Sunset has never actually seen Twilight before with her hair down; it’s always been up in a dorky bun. And she has to admit, while it’s still wonderfully dorky, it does look really nice.

Twilight huffs. She smooths down her dress, all billowing stars and soft purples, and reaches for an eyeshadow brush. “Ah, ah, no,” Sunset says, darting forward to catch Twilight’s hand in hers. “We gotta go right now, or we’re gonna be late.” Sunset pries the brush from Twilight, and then stands back and looks the girl up and down. “And trust me, Twilight, you look absolutely stunning. And if I wasn’t tragically straight...” she raises her eyebrows meaningfully and lets out a soft whistle.

Twilight snorts and shoves at her shoulder. “Shut up, Sunset,” she laughs, pushing her glasses up the bridge of her nose. (No contacts for her. She says they’re icky and weird.) “You and I both know you’re way out of my league.” She says it with a teasing smile, but her eyes shine with something deeper.

Sunset whirls around on her friend and grabs her arms tight. Oh, no way. “Are you out of your mind?” She gives Twilight a good shaking. “You, Twilight Sparkle,” she begins, “Are an absolute goddess. A goddess, you hear me?” She makes to slap Twilight on the cheeks, but then boops her nose. “And I am honored that I was chosen as your escort this magical night.” Just because neither of them have dates (boys are overrated, anyway) it doesn’t mean they can’t have fun.

Twilight covers her face. “Thanks, Sunset,” she says quietly. Then her nose wrinkles up. “But don’t say escort. That’s another word for prostitute.”

Sunset sticks out her tonuge and winks. “Well, we’ll have to see how the night goes...”

Twilight groans, almost avoiding Sunset’s skillful hip-check. “You’re unbelievable.”

Sunset grins, throwing an arm over her friend’s shoulder as they walk out the bathroom. “Yeah, but you love me.”

Author's Note

i’ve never written Sunset before, but she’s fun. Maybe I could write a full length fic with these two cuties ^^
