Canterlot, Equestria; 15 years ago, Sunshine Smiles Orphanage; 6 pm

It was just another day at the orphanage, another day of hoping that maybe, just maybe a pair of parents would want to adopt her, hoping she'd have a good family, make new friends; maybe even have a big brother or sister! Even having a little brother or sister was alright with her, as long as she had a family who loved and accepted her.

As the little amber coated filly with a fiery red and yellow mane sat in her room reading a book she smiled at the tales it held within all of them about a alabaster alicorn with a rainbow color mane and her little sister who was a midnight blue alicorn with a starry mane. Sunset admired them about, especially Princess Celestia, she was so beautiful and graceful, so loving and caring, powerful and respected; everyone in Equestria knew her name and bowed in sight of her.

The princesses were the rulers of the land and ensured happiness for all their little pony's just like her! That's what she truly wanted besides a family; to be an alicorn, to be a princess, to be the best there was at magic and use it to protect Equestria and all who lived in it.

'When I grow up I wanna be just like Celestia. Being a Princess must be so cool'
She thought with a smile on her muzzle.

Smiling to herself she continued to read, watching out of the corner of her eye as the other colts and fillies trotted about laughing and playing; she didn't exactly have any friends here at the orphanage and often kept to her books both because she was often to shy to make friends or she just didn't know how; the concept of friendship and relationships was pretty lost on little Sunset Shimmer, she didn't really know how to talk to other fillies and colts and make conversation with them.

She was incredibly smart for her age and thus knew things they had no clue about and this lead to her getting teased more than once and thus Sunset had decided she didn't need any of them to be her friends, she had her books and her magic! She'd just fine; as long as she had her power and her dream; who needed friendship?

'Besides if I can become a Princess? Everypony will want to be my friend!'

Getting up from her bed she'd levitate a few books in her teal magic aura and would hop down off of her bed, she had to keep practicing. Looking at her blank flank she pouted and pursed her lips annoyed at the fact that her special talent still had no revealed itself and that had only pushed Sunset to want to become even more powerful so that maybe it would appear. Grinning in determination she'd trot downstairs and outside through the backdoor where the playground rested.

It was getting a little bit late but it was the weekend and so Ms.Smiles wouldn't be upset if Sunset stayed out in the playground to practice her magic when the moon rose; she'd often spend her nights out there just looking up at the stars and the moon, often mesmerized by the strange pattern stained upon it that looked like the head of a mare.

The sun had begun setting on Equestria as the large ball of fire rested just over the hills, burning the sky with an aurora of colors with shades of red, yellow, orange and even pink blue and purple, a perfect color splash.

'The skies are always so pretty this time of day, Ms.Smiles says that's why I have my name'

Sunset opened up her book and took a seat underneath the old oak tree that sat there, it was the fall time and thus the trees leaves had all fallen however Sunset wanted to practice a new spell that would give it life and beauty again even in this time of season.

During the summer time this tree would produce the most lovely flower called a Aurora blossom and they'd often bloom and be in full effect around the beginning of spring and continue on throughout the spring and summer time. The flowers were a beautiful color blend of red yellow and purple and light pink and they smelled heavenly, Sunset also wanted to see if they might have made good tea also; she adored a good cup of tea and a good fairy tale book to pass the time.

Opening up her book she'd read over the spell a few times before closing the book and willing her magic to life. She kept the image of the blossoms in mind, how beautiful and full of life they always looked, how majestic and gracefully they all were; she'd keep her eyes on the tree but through the branches she could also see the setting sun and unknown to Sunset the longer she looked at the sun, the more her aura began to glow, she felt so warm, so strong; she felt like she could do anything!

Allowing her magic to flow through her at full power she'd cast the spell on the tree, the recoil sending her flying back on her flank but sure enough after a few moments the tree shook, shined, shimmered and then began blossoming each a different shade and as they all came into full bloom the colors would dance about the different petals, cascading around the tree in perfect harmony, the colors all looked ethereal and in motion, much like that of Celestia's mane and the flowers even started popping up all around the tree and playground lighting the entire area alight in a rainbow glow.

Seeing this turn of events from inside Ms.Smiles came outside to witness what Sunset had done and her jaw nearly broke when it hit the floor. The middle aged motherly looking mare was purely stunned at the majestic sight she was beholding and more shocked that it had been done by a mere filly!

"S-Sunset, did you do this sweetheart?" the caretaker mare said in complete shock trotting over to see all the new flowers.

"Um...Y-Yes; do you like it? I'm sorry if I-" Sunset began to say a bit panicked; oh no I did something wrong! Sunset thought to herself hoping she wasn't about to be punished for her little act. She knew this tree was very special to Ms.Smiles and wanted to make it look pretty for her; she had always said that seeing it so lifeless in the colder seasons made her sad and she just wanted to make her happy.

"I love it! It's simply...simply-" Ms.Smiles was at a loss for words until her sentence was finished by a very familiar regal but kind tone of voice.

"Majestically beautiful" Said the voice of princess Celestia as she trotted into view, her hoofs stepped gracefully through the large field of flowers and sure enough her presence caused every little foal filly and colt to come running to greet her with a smile and hug to her long legs. "Hehehe why hello my little pony's; a pleasure to see you all...You there, little filly; whats your name?" Celestia asked looking to Sunset Shimmer having sensed her strong magic aura and could tell right away she was the one who'd cast this amazing spell.

Sunset was besides herself...here she was, right in front of her, the princess of all of Equestria, ruler of the sun and her idol and hero....acknowledging her, asking her name; Sunset was trying her best not to faint from excitement and so she gathered her nerves, steeled herself and said. "S-Sunset Shimmer, your majesty; i-it's such an honor to meet you" Sunset said with a blush rubbing her foreleg.

"A great pleasure to meet you as well Sunset Shimmer; I must say for such a young filly you have quite strong magic; how old are you?" Celestia asked tilting her head some. She hadn't seen magic this powerful in a filly since herself, Luna or Cadence! Truly this filly was something special and perhaps whom she was looking for.

"S-Six and a half" Sunset blushed and downcast her eyes.

"Impressive; very impressive, why I dare say you hold the same amount of raw talent and potential I held at your age" Celestia smiled and giggled remembering her own foalhood fondly learning magic under the teachings of the great Starswirl the breaded.

"R-Really?!" Sunset couldn't believe her ears! She was being compared to the princess of the sun in her youth?! That was like being told you had Starswirl level magic as a newborn foal! Sunset was finding it very hard to contain herself right now, she felt like her entire body was on fire but in a warm tingling good kind of way, her entire soul was alight with joy, her heart fluttered and yet at the same time she couldn't help but feel really nervous about something and couldn't place a hoof on what it was but she was far to enraptured by Celestia to care.

"Oh my yes! I remember when I was a little filly and I was first discovering my special talent and love for magic, you have a very special gift Sunset Shimmer; as I can see it appears you draw on the power of the sun to fuel your magic, the closer the rays of sunlight are too you; the more powerful you are, a very rare talent to have; one that usually marks a pony for greatness" Celestia said with a broad smile and knew right away even though she likely wasn't the one she was looking for? That this little pony was destined for great things regardless.

"T-Thank you princess! I've been working super, super hard to get into your school for gifted unicorns, I've been waiting for awhile to get a chance to come to the castle and show I can make it" Sunset said.

Celestia quirked a brow and perked up her ears. So the child did seek a mentor? This couldn't have been more perfect! "Is that so? Well then Sunset Shimmer I'd like to be the first to tell you congratulations!" Celestia said with a smile

"On what princess?" Sunset tilted her head some in confusion

"Why on getting into my school of course! With a display such as this? I don't think an entrance exam is nessecary for a special filly such as yourself. and if you would like dear Sunset; I'd like to personally take you under my wing and teach you to hone these magical abilities of yours. I believe you are destined for great things in the future Sunset Shimmer; and I see much of myself in you and to that end..." Celestia turned to Ms.Smiles and glanced a look down at little Sunset. "I am also here to adopt" Celestia proclaimed.

"Y-You...want to adopt...ME?!" Sunset shouted in pure disbelief; if she had a fainting couch she'd be passed out on it by now.

"Yes I do; that isn't a problem is i-" Celestia began to ask teasingly.

"Yes! I-I mean no! I mean..yes! Yes I'd love for you to adopt me!" Sunset was practically bouncing with glee, there was no way this could get any better.

smiling broadly Celestia giggled happily. "Excellent, and our first order of business when returning to the castle will be to throw you a cutesinyeria"

Sunset put on a confused look. "But I don't have my-"

"I'd advise you to look again dear" Celestia smiled pointing to the fillies flank.

Quirking a confused brow Sunset looked down at her now once blank flank and found stamped on it the image of the sun with eight rays comes off it and the center was red and yellow like her mane. Her smile threatened to split her face in two and with a gleeful scream and shout Sunset Shimmer bounced and hopped around Celestia and everypony else without a single care in the world and chanted over and over.

"YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!" She couldn't believe it! All her dreams seemed to be coming true and she couldn't have been happier. Running up to Celestia she'd embrace the sun princess in the biggest hug she could muster and sobbed happily into her pure white coat; she at last would have a family...a mother; and how fitting that it was her hero and idol who would be the one to save her from her loneliness; she'd be sure to not let the princess down, no matter what.

"Thank you so much princess; I promise I'll be the best daughter I can be!" Sunset said with a broad happy smile as she hugged onto Celestia who draped a wing over her and hugged her back and whispered in her ear. "It's time to wake up now my little pony"

Friday; December 31st: Sunset Shimmer's Apartment.

Awakening from her slumber she jumped up a bit in bed and was breathing a bit hard, feeling her heart pounding rapidly she looked around to see she was back in her human world apartment, still in her human world form. With a gentle sigh she ran her fingers through her messy bedhead and looked at her alarm clock to see that it was 8:30 am in the morning and the sun was just beginning to fully rise on the world.

Looking out the window she could see the fresh snow still on the ground from a snowfall that happened a little bit before Christmas time and she fondly remembered the wonderful time she had with her best friends and more so her girlfriend on Christmas eve and day. Looking over to see her aforementioned lover she leaned over and brushed a few of her bangs out of her face to get a good look at her slumbering form; they'd been dating a few months now and even still Sunset had the same thought every single morning ever since first waking up with the girl naked in her bed.

'She's even adorkable when she's sleeping.'

She giggled as she planted a kiss on the purple girls cheek and saw her purr and coo in delight at feeling her touch even in her slumbering state. At first she thought it might have been really weird to date the human world version of the princess who gave her a second chance at life but after much thinking...and a little liquid courage from Applejack and a pep talk from Rarity and Rainbow Dash? She had decided to take a leap of faith and ask out Twilight 'Sci-Twi' Sparkle about two months after her break-up with Timber Spruce.

The break-up had been hard on Sci-Twi because Timber basically dumped her for not putting out when she wasn't ready to take that next step with him; Sunset along with the other girls had been a big help in supporting Twilight through that time and Sunset especially since she'd admittedly been dumped for the same reason back in Equestria.

Sunset was the oldest of the group even though the portal morphed her body into that of a teenager in this world. She clocked in an age of 21 while appearing to only be 18 or so while the other girls were all younger than she was but she didn't mind this at all. So back in Equestria when she was around 16 she'd started getting her heat cycles and while she did have a coltfriend back then? He dumped her because she wouldn't let him buck after they'd only been dating a month and tried to make it seem like she was obligated too because other mares let their stallion do it claiming it was 'taking care of their needs'. Since then? She hadn't even entertained the thought of sex with any male and just started using magic to suppress her heat.

'Heh our first night making love was so wild because of that. Sci-Twi couldn't walk for 2 days'

When she finally came to terms with her feelings for Twilight and the two of them shared a very...very intimate and romantic moment together? The hours that followed that moment were some of the most intense and say she say magical moments of her entire life and by the end she kind of cursed herself from cutting herself off from all forms of sexual stimulation but the spell she cast on herself to ensure she didn't give into her own lust stated that her desires would only be fulfilled once she willingly gave her heart to someone she felt true and undeniable love for.

It was almost like a challenge, to see who could weave their way into her heart well enough to break the spell and unleash her long repressed sexual tension and boy did Twilight smash that spell to pieces during summer break.

'But I couldn't be happier now. I've got a home, I graduated High School, I have an awesome girlfriend and the greatest group of friends the universe could have ever given anyone but they decided to give them to me even after everything I did. And today? Today I right one last wrong and perhaps...no...in fact. my GREATEST wrong.'

With a small sigh she scooted out of her bed and sat on the edge, looking at her magic book that rested on her window seal. It was a originally given to her by Celestia and she had been using it to communicate with Princess Twilight Sparkle in Equestria and the Princess of Friendship had invited her to spend new years eve with her and the rest of the elements of harmony and even the original pillars of Equestria including Starswirl himself! However there was but one small condition the princess tagged onto that offer...she had to go see Celestia.

At first Sunset thought it a bit cruel of the princess to basically twist her arm like that but then realized she'd put this off for far too long and there was no better time than now to do this especially considering that it was around this time that Sunset had decided to run away from Equestria and Celestia. In the days that following this Sunset had talked to each of her friends and even the human version of Celestia about what she should do and of course they all gave her the same answer.

'If she's willing to want to see you after saying your no longer welcome? She's already forgiven you'

And Sunset understood this however the only thing making her nervous or holding her back rather? Was that out of everyone she felt that she truly didn't deserve any forgiveness from Princess Celestia. The mare had given her EVERYTHING! A home, a family, love, attention, guidance, friendship and what did Sunset do in thanks for that? Scoffed at her teachings about friendship, grew jealous of Cadence and her title as Princess of Love, became rude and cruel to other pony's, became snobby and arrogant, selfish and dishonest, mean and disloyal.

Everything that harmony was not she willingly embraced because...well she never really figured out why she became that way or where it began and she'd spent many a restless night trying to figure it out but she simply chalked it up to her ego being inflated by Celestia's and everypony else's constant praise at how strong and independent she was.

'Oh come now we weren't THAT bad.' a devilish voice spoke in her mind.

'Yeah...yeah we were. and it lead to you nearly killing 6 innocent girls and leading an entire high school of inexperienced minors into a war they had no hope of winning.'

'Hmph well sorrrrrry!'

'No your not; can we NOT do this right now? I just woke up Sunburn and I'm not in the mood to argue with you today.'

'Indeed and we have quite the day ahead of us Sunset; today's the big day.'

'Who invited Raccoon-face?'

'I invited myself she-devil. For need I remind you the only reason you still exist is to represent her more...rough and forgive me for saying Sunset? Ugly qualities.'

'Ugly?! Who're you callin' ugly you goodie goodie little sparkling fairy?!!'

'You, you're just a hideous stain on dear Sunset's soul! You shouldn't even exist! But she CHOSE to create me and of course I'm in her preferred image so yes I am calling YOU ugly you cheap blood colored nightmare night prop!'

'Will you two knock it off?! It's too early for this! We've been over this! I need you BOTH to have BALANCE but right now? I need you both to shut up!' Sunset shouted in her mind at the two arguing entities that represented her emotions both positive and negative.

Sunburn Shimmer on the left red half represented her and everything she once was in the past. Her anger, her hatred, her deviousness, her ego, her pride and more recently? PARTS of her lust given she was no longer a virgin though she only represented the more wild and animal like side of her if anything else.

She had assumed that part of her was gone when she decided to change but that wasn't the case; Sunset willingly decided not to float on the negative red side anymore and decided instead to stand on the bright yellow side of friendship which is where she'd really begun as a filly but then slowly over time got stuck on the red side.

However that didn't mean Sunset lost the ability to be angry, hateful or any of those things. She just felt them in different ways because she cared about more than just herself and so for example when Sci-Twi's amulet almost got people killed and she snapped on her? She was angry at Twilight in that one moment because her friends could have died...and THAT was a thought she couldn't bare to imagine which if only for a moment ignited her flames of anger which she'd since then tried to keep hidden.

On the right yellow side was Daydream Shimmer, the form she'd taken during the friendship games in order to save everyone from Midnight Sparkle's magical rampage and it was even a form she'd been practicing turning back into though she needed a little more time to figure out just how to make the power work but she was close. Daydream represented everything good about Sunset both present and even in her past because she wasn't always a horrid spoiled brat with a princess complex which was the equivalent to a God complex in this dimension.

She represented her kindness, her generosity, her joy and ability to laugh and smile, her honest nature, her loyalty, her love of magic, her empathy; everything good about her that once was and still is growing.

Daydream also had a part in controlling her lust but more in the passionate and loving sense; she was truly in love with Twilight 'Sci-Twi' Sparkle and while those feelings originally steamed from Princess Twilight? She came to accept that probably would never truly work out but she was confident it would with Sci-Twi and it was for that reason she was also able to break the seal on Sunset's repressed sexual urges and that night wasn't just wild sex.

They made love; Sunset had always imagined that she'd find a nice stallion and settle down as a princess after Celestia had crowned her new princess of the sun and she'd have a filly or two of her own to raise but after being with Sci-Twi? She realized she'd be happy to give that dream up and live out her days here alongside her studying magic in this world and how it was different from the magic in Equestria.

Balance; that's one of the meanings of the cutie mark that she'd gained the day Celestia had adopted her. She had great potential, both for good and for EVIL and while it was a shame she was able to show JUST how evil she could be when she attempted to murder Princess Twilight and her friends and then attempt a coup of Equestria with completely brainwashed and untrained human zombies to overthrow Celestia and Cadence? She also showed JUST how GOOD she could be by saving two dimensions in the span of a year before graduating so it balanced out.

She didn't like her darker half and she wasn't ashamed or afraid to admit it but she did come to terms with the fact that she had to exist for the sake of balance and that EVERYONE had their dark sides and just hid them...or showed them in different ways. Sunset's darker half really mostly shined through these days as her ability to be devious or sneaky or when she's being snarky or sarcastic.

She only reserved her hate or anger for those who deserved it like punks like elitist jerks who still attend Crystal Prep even though most of the school has undergone a change thanks to Principal Cadence there were still snobby assholes that attended the school that she didn't like.

'Look it's a big day for ALL of us alright? We're going back to where it all began. To see her.'

'I mean best to just rip the band-aid off and wait to see how much it bleeds right? I mean c'mon she CAN'T be mad after you saved the fucking world TWICE! I'm sure that more than makes up for my little mistake.' Sunburn stated finally deciding to speak up.

'While I hate to admit it; she does have a point Sunset. You have more than redeemed yourself and I am positive Celestia wants nothing more than to thanks us and say shes proud of us.' Daydream added.

'I know but...I don't know I guess the little filly in me is just scared of being scolded even though Principal Celestia and I played this scenario out.' Sunset said blushing at the memory of her and Principal Celestia doing a practice run of how her meeting with the real Celestia would go.

She had explained to the administrator her entire past with Celestia, told her stories of her time with her so she could properly get into character and Principal Celestia even let slip that the real reason years ago that she let Sunset attend her school without any formal documentation and only her name to go on? Was because her own daughter whom was the human Sunset Shimmer of this world had dropped out and ran away two years before pony Sunset had shown up.

Celestia knew where she was and how to find her even after all this time? She didn't know what to say or do and so the two helped each other and the result? Was a very very long and bumpy emotional roller-coaster but one they both needed to experience. Sunset had never seen such a deep side to the principal before and so she could only imagine it was 100 fold for the Princess of the Sun; who'd lived for more than 1000 years and never bared a single child but then to finally found a filly to adopt only to have her spite everything she tried to teach her simply because she wouldn't give her what she wanted when she asked.

She knew better than anyone though Celestia's ability to forgive was endless even if she was angry with someone? In time if they showed remorse, if they showed a willingness to change? She would forgive them and welcome them with open wings and hooves...but even still she was scared as a foal to face the alicorn on the other side of the mirror portal.

'Least you won't be alone. We'll be there to watch you cry like a baby in her hooves'

'Oh please you're probably gonna sob like a foal the most just like you did when she rehearsed with Principal Celestia.'

'Anyway! Yes I'm scared and nervous. Yes I know I'm gonna cry a lot and all that stuff. Just...both of you promise me something?'

'Sure thing baconhead.'

'anything Sunny'

'Thanks...first off? Sunburn...fuck you-'

'Love you too SunTits'

'Anyway; second? Just promise me that once I reconcile with Celestia? That you two will just help me stay balanced? I know we don't all always get along and probably never will but we are in this together like or not and I want to make the best of this not just for my sake but for my friends and especially Sci-Twi. A new year is coming and while I know the whole new year new me thing is bullshit? I wanna give it a real shot and just try and be the best Sunset Shimmer there can be...I mean I have competition out there somewhere but I'm sure or rather hope she isn't all bad.' Sunset joked with the voices in her head.

'I think we can agree to those terms and have a somewhat of a truce to aid you Sunset, its only fair.'

'Meh I can rock with that I guess, beats being ignored and stuffed into the dark corners of you mind like a child on timeout!'

'Oh get over it you totally deserved that timeout because you wanted to throw a tantrum at the fall formal'

'Hmph'

'Even though you two can be incredibly annoying? I'm glad you're both stuck in my head. Means I'll never truly be alone. Anyway I think that'e enough arguing with myself for one morning; I have a schedule to keep. Meeting the rest of the girls at the portal around 9 so I should probably wake Twi so we can get ready to go'

Sunset finished her typical morning talk with her good and evil halves; turning back to Twilight and smiling she leaned over and planted a soft kiss on her cheek and rubbed her back.

"Twi; time to wake up. We've gotta get ready for the day; wouldn't wanna be tardy would we?" Sunset said teasingly knowing the mere mention of the T word would rouse Sci-Twi from her sleep and as if on cue the moment she said that word? Twilight's eyes shot open and she shot up from bed looking around to see the alarm clock and saw it was 8:30 but Sunset quickly calmed her down by getting in her face and mashing her lips against her's causing the two of them to fall back onto the bed with Sunset Shimmer on top of Twilight Sparkle's lap.

'I don't think a little quickie would hurt; the girls would understand if we are fashionably late right?' Sunburn stated from within with a playful smirk as she allowed her influence to seep into Sunset causing the pony girl's arousal to rise a little as it usually did in the morning times but she held herself back because she knew that if she indulged herself now they'd be a bit more than just late and she wanted to save that intimate moment for when she returned home later this evening around midnight.

'Better for her to wait, she wants to properly make love to Twilight I can tell; have a little patience will you?'

'Tch I swear you are NO fun sometimes; but fine. You know what they say, the flames of lust are always stronger when fanned by the winds of time.' Sunburn said with a small chuckle.

As the two entities in her mind became silent all she could hear now was the heartbeat of the one she'd decided to give her heart to, she could only feel the touch of her body against hers, her lips latched onto her own, their breasts docked together and Sunset's legs entangled with that of the purple geek right below her. After a good two minutes she broke the kiss and gazed down upon Twilight with a loving kind smile that Twilight loved to see and wake up too each and every morning since they'd first had sex.

"Morning Twi"

"Morning Sunny. Today's the day huh?"

"Yep"

"Are you ready? You know I'll still go with you if-"

Sunset chuckled and put a hushing finger on Twilight's lips and smiled down at her. "Twi we've been over this; I'll be okay and this is something I need to handle ALONE. While I know you and the other girls are great support for everything I do I know that this? This I need to face alone because I'm the one who caused it and I'm the one that needs to face the music. I still appreciate you wanting to come and help me through it though." Sunset said reassuring Twilight that she was in fact ready to tackle the task set ahead for her.

"Alright I understand." Sci-Twi pouted a little not because just because she couldn't go with Sunset to support her in seeing Celestia in her native world but because she REALLY wanted to visit Equestria to study magic and feel what its like to travel to another universe; it was a science fiction geeks dream to travel across the cosmos and interdimensional travel was apart of that dream. She knew one day soon Sunset promised to take her on a full tour of Equestria's version of Canterlot and other major cities and sites just not today.

"I promise Twi; after the new year I'll take you to Equestria. Princess Twilight, Starlight and the others just need to finalize the new travel system so that dimensions don't get confused and realities don't start breaking with multiple versions of the same pony and person walking around which we should be able to take care of today."

Sunset said in order to brighten Twi's spirits. She knew how badly she wanted to visit her homeland but she wanted to make sure it was safe for her to do so first and that doing so wouldn't cause a tear in the space time continuum; according to Princess Twilight she'd had help with this from all of the most powerful unicorns and mages Equestria had to offer including the legendary Starswirl the breaded whom Sunset couldn't WAIT to meet.

"I know I know; I just wish I could come and help and offer more of my notes on the subject but I know you'll bring me and the others back plenty of cool stuff when you come home" Twilight said with a smile and wrapped her arms around Sunset happily pulling her in closer than she was already. "This new year is gonna be a special one I'm sure and I can't wait for midnight so we can experience it. Together." Twilight said with a rare saucy smile and Sunset blushed seeing it and returned with one of her own.

"Oh? Is that right? Hehe what am I gonna come home to a new sexier version of you or something?" Sunset asked jokingly quirking an eyebrow.

Sci-Twi giggled and stuck her tongue out playfully at Sunset and winked. "Perhaps; guess you'll have to be here at midnight won't you?"

"I guess I will; now you've got me very curious." In the time they'd been dating Sunset had noticed Sci-Twi becoming more outgoing, less introverted, willing to try new things that one wouldn't expect the geeky sheltered girl to do like that time she willingly went clubbing with her and the newly reformed Adagio Dazzle. So the fact that she was teasing some kind of special new years surprise to be revealed at the midnight hour was very enticing to say the least.

"Mmm well I guess we better get up and at 'em so I can go cry my face off to my adoptive mother so I can come back here and see what you've got in store." Sunset joked and kissed Twilight on the nose.

"I concur with that. Let's get in the shower and get dressed and out; we could grab breakfast at Sugarcube Corner before we head to the portal." Sci-Twi said as she sat up in the bed a little with Sunset still naked in her lap.

"You're so cute when you talk geek." Sunset winked and booped her on the nose.

"Well I'm the adorkable one of the group for a reason right?" Sci-Twi countered and tickled Sunset right under her belly button which got a whinnying giggle out of the pony turned human; something that Sci-Twi took great pleasure in doing every single chance she got after finding out that Sunset was ticklish ever since she was a filly.

"Heheheh yes indeed you are. C'mon and lets get ready; we've both got a bright future to look forward too and I can't wait to see what the new year brings."

Sunset said with a smile as she got up from bed completely naked and stretched out her joints feeling them pop and crack into place as she slipped her slippers on she headed off to the bathroom to freshen up and was eager to get a jump on the day. Meanwhile in bed? Twilight Sparkle smiled a rare and if one knew her well enough? Uncharacteristic devious smirk that would look more at home on the face of Adagio Dazzle and said.

"When the clock strikes midnight? It'll be OUR time to strike." She said with her eyes flashing a purple hue. Sunset wasn't the only one with a dark side and tonight? Sci-Twi was finally gonna let hers out the play even if it was just fora little bit.

Author's Note

So yeah. This is gonna be apart of a new series I'm gonna be doing. Some of you may notice this scene is basically like the one I had in my Aurora of Love story but I've revamped it and am taking things in a new direction though some beats from that story will stay the same others will change slightly but hopefully this'll please people who like Sunlight as much as Sundagio. I love both ships and wanna write for them both.

Human Sunset Shimmer and Principal Celestia will have their own little reunion in a separate story if anyone wishes to see that just leave a comment and let me what what you'd like to see.
