A little click and a turn of the knob, and Sunset Shimmer had opened up the door to her apartment, sighing peacefully after another long day of spending times with her friends. As per usual, the girls had been spending most of this surprisingly hot summer day at the mall. Nice and cool, perfectly air conditioned, and with plenty of different things to do, just the way that she liked it.

Summer had always been her favorite season, even back when she had used to be Celestia's student. She thought back to the solar alicorn every other summer, remembering the times where she'd see Her Majesty raise the sun and announce the beginning of summer with the greatest of joy. Sunset sighed peacefully towards her nostalgia-ridden daydream, stripping off her jacket and backpack with a little ease before relaxing on the couch. She grabbed the remote and flipped on her TV for a moment, getting comfortable whilst searching for something entertaining.

Roughly an hour had gone by and Sunset was still watching TV, amazed at just how many things were watchable this summer. Frankly, summer never had all that many entertaining shows going on. If anything, it was saved exclusively for the fall and winter seasons. For it to be summer and still have something nice to watch, it felt like a practical miracle. For the time being, she had been watching a movie about five long-time friends honoring the memory of their basketball coach from when they were boys. There were more than a few moments that didn't make any sense to her, or lines that weren't very funny or anything, but the rest of it at least was nice and enjoyable.

Another hour went by before she knew it and Sunset got up to stretch her legs. She kept the TV going as she walked on over towards her kitchen to make dinner. She had simple ingredients for various things, mostly being donated to her by Applejack, but she made it work. Just as she was grabbing hold of some chopped chicken though, she felt as though something had brushed her backside a little.

"What the-?!" Sunset exclaimed as she turned around, ready to backhand somebody upside the face. She was expecting either Pinkie or Rainbow to have been standing behind her, though she was amazed to see that there was nobody even standing there. Her eyes frantically peered around to try and find whoever the culprit may have been, but she couldn't find anybody. It made her question whether or not anyone was even there.

"Uh....Guess I might just be feeling lonely or something. Pretty sure my pony biology might still be a little bit wonky in this world" Sunset chuckled rather awkwardly. Spring had already passed, but thankfully for her sanity, her estrus cycle had been a thing of the past. She was certain that she had felt all kinds of different feelings similar to estrus when she was here earlier, but as the years went on, the feeling had begun to fade away. Right now, she was almost entirely certain that she was done with it completely, but it would seem as though something may have remained after all. "Ugh, I so don't need this" Sunset sighed as she continued making her dinner in peace.

Eventually, in spite of all the ghostly itches and other feelings on her backside, Sunset had managed to create herself a perfectly delicious chicken salad. She slathered on some ranch dressing here and there, carefully eating the rest of it up with a fork and sigh. The vegetables were perfectly crisp, the chicken was carefully breaded and stir-fried to perfection, and the combination of the two had left her feeling incredibly satisfied all over. These were the moments that she had enjoyed the most over the years.

After a little bit longer, she looked at the clock and saw it only 9PM. She could've sworn that it had been somewhere later in the evening, but she just shrugged her shoulders at it and moved on with her time, heading off to the shower to wash up and call it a day.

"Nothing beats a good shower after dinner" Sunset smiled happily as she stepped inside, closing and locking the door behind her. She wasn't entirely sure about it, but locking the door felt pretty right to her. After that ghost feeling of something on her butt earlier, she wasn't really willing to take any chances right now. With that in mind, she slowly began the process of stripping herself naked, showing off all manner of her orange skin.

Her body was what Rarity often referred to as 'a completely unfair masterpiece'; it was an hourglass shape that had managed to defy all manner of logic from an anatomical standpoint, her breasts were large and heavy, and her hips were perfectly wide and round. She looked a lot older than a high school student probably should've been, though something told her it was to match how, technically, Sunset was several years older than most high school students. Truth be told, she was a whole decade older than her friends, but because of the portal's magic, she barely looked a day over sixteen. A part of her wondered if that was some secret plot of Starswirl for some odd reason or another, but she didn't let it bug her for long. She had more important things to do right now as she started up the hot water in the shower.

Stepping inside, she sighed to herself as the hot water hit her skin like rain, light and sprinkling all over her. Almost right away, it had managed to set her mind at ease. No more did she think about any weird feelings or anything else going on in her apartment tonight, only that she had the power to completely unwind and focus on washing herself up. She could just feel her troubles melting away.

Of course, all good things have to come to an end at some point or another. For Sunset, that just meant that she once again felt something stroking across her skin. She all but screamed as what felt like a hand came up and slapped her right on the ass. She quickly turned around, nearly slipping on the wet floor of the shower in the process. She couldn't see anything standing there though, so her settled mind had magically been ruined as she sighed and continued her scrubbing in peace.

Throughout her attempts to take an honest shower, Sunset groaned out as she could feel hands rubbing all over her body. Sometimes, it would be a hand being placed on her ass, other times, it would be a finger poking her breasts. One time, it even felt like her breasts were being tugged upon from behind. Her whole face burned with humiliation and arousal from the experience, forcing the pony-turned-human teenager to groan out as she clenched her legs together as tightly as she could manage. She could tell that she was getting turned on by something, but she wasn't entirely sure just what it was or why it was doing this, only that it was doing it to her. Something in the back of her mind told her to simply try and enjoy it, but she just couldn't. It was wrong for this to happen, and yet...it didn't feel all that wrong. If anything, a small part of her had actually enjoyed this.

Sunset groaned again as the hands went and held onto her breasts, forcing her eyes shut and her teeth to grit themselves. She leaned her head back, starting to fight back against whatever unseen force was trying to assault her. After a little bit of struggling, it had managed to completely let go of her, and it even managed to leave her alone for a good while. Sunset gave an angry little huff and continued scrubbing herself, wanting to get the feeling of hands off of her as fast as humanly possible.

"Okay, definitely gotta figure that one out" Sunset muttered to herself.
