Flavor Of The Week

In Canterlot Academy. A unicorn name Sunset Shimmer was walking through the halls with her friends Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, and Sonata Dusk. They were a unique bunch. A Pegasus name Flash Sentry was looking at them and decided to do something fun. He lifted his hoof a little making Sonata trip on her hooves along with her friends with her making everypony in the school laugh at them.

"Hope you had a nice trip, Sonata". Flash said as he laugh.

Sonata pop her head up while her glasses was balancing on her muzzle.

"Did someone say my name?". Sonata asked.

"Oh! here, let me help you up".

An alicorn helped them get up on their hooves and Sunset couldn't help but blush. The mare look absolutely beautiful.

"I'm afraid all of your books are a mess,. Would you like me to help you?".

"durp?....". Sunset said while shaking a little.

She was nervous. She haven't seen a mare this attractive in all of life.

"I'm Twilight Sparkle and you are?".

"I'm.... Su-Sunset Shim-mmer".

"Wow! that's a pretty name".

Sunset smiled nervously. The school bell rang and everypony were walking to their classrooms.

"Twilight!, come on we'll be late for class".

"Okay!, well I don't wanna be late. See you later Sunset".

Princess Twilight started to walk towards her friends. Sunset sighed dreamily while her friends looked at her confusedly.

"I think she likes me!". Sunset said as her eyes had shimmered.

"Your an idiot Sunset". Aria said as she picks up her math book.

Twilight however was blushing while she had that cute smile. She was thinking of Sunset, the beautiful nerd she had help.

She looks so attractive, she looks like the shimmering sun!. I hope she ask me out for the dance before Flash.

LATER THAT DAY

"Hey Adagio?, is there any more apples left? Sonata, roll for damage". Aria asked while she was looking at the guide.

"Yep! Here you go". Adagio said

"Oh. . . I rolled a 9. That's not good. Is my elf-pegaus still live Aria?". Sonata asked worriedly.

"You won't like this Sonny, you've been taken a blast at the flank by a powerful wizard. Your elf won't be sitting down for a week!".

Sonata glared at Aria.

"She can't sit, she can't use magic spells!. your out to get me".

"More like the game is out to get you. Sunset Shimmer what's your move". Aria asked as she look at the amber unicorn.

Sunset was daydreaming about the princess again. She haven't stop thinking about her lately after she had help her from the incident.

"Ssssssuuuunnnssset Shiiimmmmmeeeer? You with us? we need our knight". Aria said.

"huh?!... wha?". Sunset asked when she had snapped out of her thoughts.

Sonata turned to Adagio confused.

"Is Shimsham okay?". Sonata asked.

"I think somepony is still thinking of a certain alicorn princess who has blue eyes". Adagio said annoyed.

"Her eyes are violet". Sunset corrected Adagio.

"I rest my case" Adagio said before she sighed.

Sunset looked at her friends seriously before stomping her left hoof at the table making them look at her.

"I've made a decision!".

"Is it to open the treasure chest?. You need to wait for Aria's protective spell". Sonata said.

"Not that, I'm going to ask Twilight to the dance!". Sunset said.

"Good luck with that romeo". Adagio said as she rolled her eyes.

"Sunset!, Princess Twilight is the most popular mare in Canterlot Academy. We know your a cool mare but think about the consequences buddy!". Aria said because she was worried for her friend.

"We're meant for each other, I'm sure of it Aria!".

"Don't under estimate everything Shimmer".

"She's perfect girls!. Me and Her will be living in a castle I can tell!".

Adagio along with Aria and Sonata sighed and puts their hoof on their forehead.

"You're freaking serious about this?". Adagio asked.

"I vow to Princess Celestia that I, Sir Sunset Shimmer will win the princess's heart!". Sunset said bravely.

"You don't need to do a vow, we get the idea!". Aria said.

Aria removed everything off the table and replace it with a paper.

"What are you doing?". Sonata asked.

"Making the plan". Aria said as she levitated the quill to write on the paper.

"Are you sure this is going to work?, I don't know Aria. This might end up a disaster". Adagio said

"We are doing this for our friend". Aria said determinedly

"Well according to our reputation at school. I can tell everypony will laugh at us". Sonata said.

Aria raised her hoof in the middle and look at her friends. Adagio and Sonata put their hooves on top of Aria's. They looked to Sunset to see she was daydreaming again.

"SHIMMER!".

"Wha?".

Sunset looked at her friends and smile before putting her hoof at on top.

"Let's get Shimmer's dream mare!". Adagio declared.

"For love!". Sunset shouted.

"For nerds everywhere!". Sonata shouted.

"For everypony who reached the stars". Aria said.

"Isn't that a bit much?".

"I like drama Sonny". Aria said as she winked at Sonata making her blush.

LATER THAT WEEK

"I'm so glad that you brought me Twilight's flyer, sunshine! She was free tonight to foal-sit your little brother!'. Celestia said as she was fixing Sunset's tie.

Sunglare looked to his big sister from his book.

"Your face is funny whenever you talk about her". Sunglare said.

They heard a knock on the door and Celestia walked towards it.

"She's here!". Princess Celestia announced.

Celestia opened the door to reveal Princess Twilight Sparkle. She was shock to see that Sunset's mother was the princess herself.

"Princess Celestia, so glad to see you!".

"Well hello Twilight. My daughter always talks about you". Celestia said and smiled as she heard her daughter groan in annoyance.

"I didn't know Sunset's a princess!".

"She rather keep it a secret, I told the others that I'm her guardian".

"I'm looking forward to foal sit Sunglare princess!".

"Sunglare, be a good colt to your foal sitter okay?".

"Okay Mom".

"Remember sweetie, we're going home late. Sunshine wants to go to the ice cream shop after the recital or she'll get all cranky-wanky".

"Hehehe crank-wanky". Sunglare said as he giggled making Twilight giggle as well.

Discord fixed his outfit and got beside Princess Celestia while Sunset followed her parents. Sunset built her confidence and look at Twilight.

"HE-HELLO!". Sunset said as she trotted away happily.

Nailed It!!. Sunset said in her mind happily.

Smooth move sis. Sunglare said in his mind sarcastically.

Could she be more adorable?. Twilight thought daydreaming about Sunset being her knight.

"Miss Twilight-".

Twilight grabbed Sunglare's shoulders and lifting him up to her eye level. She had a determined look on her face.

"Okay Sunglare Shimmer, first off.... you're going to tell me every piece of information about your big sister. After that, we will make cookies and have the best night ever!. Agree?".

"Oh... okay... wait what?".

Sunglare got off Twilight's grip and gagged.

"You're in love with my sister?". Sunglare asked.

"Well I.... yes. will you help me?". Twilight ask.

Sunglare gestured the alicorn princess to follow him to the fire place of the castle. He stop and look at her seriously showing her some papers, makers, and a chart.

"That depends.... are you ready to notes about her likes and dislikes?. Compare your popularity with hers?. Is your paper wide ruled or academy ruled?". Sunglare ask.

Twilight leaned closer to Sunglare with a determined look on her face.

"I have 20 different colors of paper for my label maker. I always have my abacus with me just in case if I need to calculate percentage on a chart. Wide-ruled papers are for foals. Let's do this". Flare said

Sunglare smirked.

"Twilight, I think you and me will getting along with each other".

LATER

"That's it!, we're perfect for each other!. I'm going to make Sunset my special somepony!". Twilight said as she looked at the results.

"All the data we had collected seems to point a happily ever after". Sunglare said while looking at the chart.

Twilight looked at Sunglare seriously.

"Sunglare, please promise me that you'll never tell this to Sunset Shimmer".

"I swear". Sunglare said.

"Would you do the kindgarten oath not to tell?". Twilight asked.

Sunglare sighed and started to recite the oath.

"Sunshine sunshine lady bugs awake, clap you hooves and do a little shake".

Twilight smiled and bump her flank with Sunglare which made him happy.

THE NEXT DAY

"How did last night go?". Aria asked as they were going to the storage where the floats to introduce the lucky stallions to be the prince of the fall formal.

"You mean the recital?. I totally rocked it!". Sunset said happily.

"Not that. Did you talk to her?". Aria ask before opening the door.

"Oh! That?. yeah.... I did!". Sunset said.

"That's great". Adagio said as she smiled.

They all entered the storage area and they were all looking at the floats. They started to walk.

"We finished building up your float". Aria said.

"We're going to put you in the spotlight". Sonata said.

Sunset looked at the float and shrunk in embarrassment.

"This seems. . . cool". Sunset said hesitatingly.

It was a ridiculous float she can tell. The theme of her float was the fantasy board game they always play after school.

"I.... that's something". Sunset said as she look down.

"And there are costumes for us to wear too!". Sonata said excitedly.

"Oh... we're all going to the float. I'm glad I'm going to suffer with you guys". Sunset said sadly.

"Come on!, we need to practice our song". Aria said.

"I wrote it myself". Sonata said.

Sunset can tell that this won't end well.

LATER

"THIS IS A GREAT IDEA!". Aria said excitedly.

This is a terrible idea

Sunset peeked outside and saw Princess Twilight with her friends and Flash Sentry with his friends.

"There she is!. Aw man, she's with Flash!. I hate that guy".

"You should... I heard his going to ask Princess Twilight to the dance". Sonata said.

Sunset gritted her teeth while she applied a black paint on her cheeks.

"Let's do this thing".

Meanwhile with Twilight. She noticed that Flash was about to put his arm around her but Twilight stopped him. She wanted Sunset beside her.

"Oh no Flash. I.... have um.... just did my mane. don't want to mess it up, you know". Twilight said as she put Flash's hoof at the ground.

"I do know!, It takes time to do the perfect mane style. You totally get me Twilight". Flash said with a smirk on his face.

Flash looked at Twilight.

"You know princess, I'm planning on making every goal at the buck ball match for you...".

Lemon Heart gasp and pointed with her hoof at the float she had saw making everyone look at the direction as well.

"Who the hay is that?!".

Sunset was levitating the mic while her friends were playing their instruments.

"I love mares with lavender mane!. They make me feel good!. I love double colored hair cause they make me so bad!. When their around me, they make me feel like the only mare in equestria!. I love mares with lavender mane cause they make me feel so good!". Sunset sing determinedly.

"What the...". Flash looked at Twilight to see she was blushing at Sunset.

Twilight cried in happiness and clap her hooves together. Sunset noticed Twilight and smiled at her nervously making Twilight blush a little and smile. Flash noticed this and smirk.

Heh. No way that stunt would work. I'm going to be fall formal king. Geek!

"Geeks!. What a bunch of Geeks!. haha". Flash said as he pointed at Sunset and her friends.

Everypony laughed at them while Twilight glared at Flash.

"That wasn't very nice!". Twilight said angrily.

"What?, I'm just having a laugh. Your still going to the buck ball match right?". Flash ask.

Sunset looked up to Twilight almost wanted to cry. The float they were using suddenly to break making everypony laugh more expect for Twilight who was worried about Sunset. Sunset walked away with her friends while she looked down in embarrassment.

"They didn't like our performance". Sonata said sadly.

"No ones going to vote for me as fall formal king". Sunset sighed sadly.

Aria pointed Sunset's chest angrily while looking at her furiously making Sunset scared.

"You want to win the princess's heart right?!".

"More than anything!".

Aria pointed at Flash angrily.

"You got a dragon to slay buddy".

They did everything they can to make Flash look ridiculous in the game but they have tried everything and they had failed. Twilight was holding Flash's jacket while looking around to see if she can find Sunset.

I'm just going to ask Sunset myself. She really looks like a prince when she wore that prince outfit. I hope me and her will have a happy ending.

"Sunset Shimmer looks shimmering in her outfit don't you agree Flare?".

"I heard from my sister that Sunset's going to ask somepony to go to the dance!".

Twilight was shock to hear that. She was thinking that rumor can't be true. Sunset Shimmer saw Twilight and wanted to ask her out but the crowd was blocking her way. She tried to call Twilight's attention but the crowd was to loud. She saw Flash walking towards Twilight and her friends.

"Twilight, I was hoping that you would go to the dance with me?". Flash asked.

"Of course she will!".

"Well its true... nopony had asked me... But I was hoping one pony would...". Twilight said sadly.

"Right! You were waiting for me!". Flash said as he wrapped his jacket around Twilight.

"I'll pick you up at 8". Flash said as he walked away to be with his friends.

"You're so luck to go to the dance with him Twilight!".

"Oh dear...". Twilight said.

But.... the chart, the list!. Me and Sunset are perfect for each other!.

Sunset felt her heart broken to a million pieces when Twilight had accepted Flash. She walked away with her head down.

No wedding day smiles,no walk down the aisle. No flowers, no wedding dress.
