Author's Note

One week until the Friendship Games.

Before First Period

Sugarcoat opened her eyes, waking up feeling satisfied for the first time in weeks. She looked over to Neon's sleeping form as he snored. She smiled as she watched him for a moment, then got out of bed and changed into her uniform. She sighed contentedly and left her room.

Sugarcoat hummed a tune as she walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. In the kitchen was her father, reading the newspaper. Hearing his daughter's footsteps near him, he looked up. "That sure sounded like one hell of a night!" Said Sizzle.

Sugarcoat giggled. "I think that might have been the best sex I ever had!" She said with a smile. "I wouldn't mind if he wanted to come back after last night." She glanced at her phone, checking the time. "Oh!" She said in surprise. "I should get going. See you later!" She said in a singsong voice, then walked out of the house.

Neon Lights opened his eyes slowly, then yawned and stretched. He got out of Sugarcoat's bed, stretching again. He picked his uniform up off of the floor and changed into it. Gross. He thought, Next time I come over, I'm definitely bringing a spare. He sighed as he left Sugarcoat's room. He entered the kitchen in search of something to tide him over until lunch. "Good morning!" Sizzle said. Neon let out a yelp of surprise. Sizzle chuckled. "Sorry about that, didn't think I'd scare you."

Neon took a deep breath, then exhaled. "No need to worry." He said, waving a hand. "I just wasn't expecting anyone else to be here."

"If you're hungry, you take something from the pantry." Sizzle said.

Neon smiled. "Thanks." He went over to the pantry and grabbed a granola bar.

"Do you want me to drive you?" Sizzle asked.

"I appreciate the offer, but no thanks. I already feel awkward enough talking to the parent who knows I slept with his daughter while both of her parents were still awake." Neon said.

Sizzle shrugged. "Fair enough. Going to take a taxi then?"

"Yeah." Neon said. "Maybe I'll see you again soon."

Sizzle nodded. "Maybe you will."

"Goodbye." Neon said, and left the house.

Sugarcoat got off of her bus and entered Crystal Prep. She walked the halls, smiling as she kept running the memory of last night's fun through her mind. Something tells me I'm going to have a good day. She thought to herself. "Oof!" Said a nearby voice, snapping her out of her reverie. She noticed Twilight Sparkle on the floor, and Lemon Zest, offering her a hand. Twilight had accepted it, and she ran off.

Sugarcoat walked toward Lemon, who seemed to be distracted. The latter nearly ran into the former, and Lemon merely blinked. "You should watch where you're going, you already bumped into Twilight Sparkle." Sugarcoat said, causing Lemon to roll her eyes and walk on past her.

Sugarcoat checked her phone to see the time. Hm. Plenty of time before class, but what can I do? She sighed and folded her arms.

Neon exited the cab, and thanked the driver. He put his hands in his pockets and began walking to the Crystal Prep entrance. Last night was something else... He thought as he opened the door and walked in. "Well, let's get to it then." He said to himself as he checked his phone. About twenty minutes until first period, huh? He sighed, then turned on his music app while taking earphones out of his pocket. Might as well listen to something besides the idle chatter of other students. He thought, then found a song and began to play it. He smiled and meandered aimlessly.

Neon sighed in contentment. This song always helps me clear my head before a class. Now, where do I go from here?

Sugarcoat made a sputtering noise, at a loss for things to think of. "Ugh." She said, "Why can't I think of anything to do? This usually isn't a problem for me!" Her eyes widened. Oh, right! Duh... She took out her phone again and sent a text.

First period isn't for another fifteen minutes. Want to kill some time? - Sent by Sugarcoat

You're still not satisfied after last night? - Sent by Neon Lights

Sugarcoat rolled her eyes and scoffed.

That's not what I meant! I meant talking or just hanging out until the warning bell. - Sent by Sugarcoat

Ah, I see. Well why don't we text each other our current locations, then we can meet at some kind of middle ground so we don't waste too much time trying to find each other? - Sent by Neon Lights

That makes sense to me. - Sent by Sugarcoat

The two texted their locations to each other, then decided on a location where they could meet.

Sugarcoat and Neon Lights met each other in a hallway. "Hey." Sugarcoat said.

"Hey." Neon said. "So...what do you want to do to kill time if you aren't horny?" Neon said.

"I don't know." Sugarcoat replied. "I was bored and struggling to think of something to do, so I thought I'd text you and go from there."

"Well, we've got..." Neon trailed off as he looked at the time on his phone. "Like seven minutes."

"Can I just say before we do whatever it is we're going to do that last night was without a doubt the best sex I've ever had?" Sugarcoat said with a tone of satisfaction.

Neon blushed, despite feeling proud of himself. "Well, you were pretty damn great in the study room yesterday yourself."

Sugarcoat smiled. "Thanks. I guess we're both pretty experienced, it seems. Speaking of which, would you like to come back tonight?" She asked.

"Sure!" Neon said, a bit more excited than he meant to let on.

"Great!" Sugarcoat said as she quickly stopped twirling her hair. "I'll see you then."

"How much time is left?" Neon asked as he checked his phone. "Four minutes. I guess we should get to our classes then, huh?"

"Yeah." Sugarcoat said. "See you later."

"Yeah." Neon said. "See you later."
