2.- All you need is scratch it hard.

Sunset watched with intensity the ceiling of the Apple house, she was using the guest room located in the second floor rather that the couch in the living room like she originally planned.

Her face was still hot and her heart was beating fast despite the fact that she already took a cold shower and changed to new clean clothes from the ones drenched in her sexual liquids, it was 3 am already which meant that it has been almost 2 hours since her world crashed down worst that a Boeing 747, almost 2 hours since Macintosh Apple found her satisfying herself in an abandoned stable within his property.

'This is it! Rock bottom, forget losing the Fall Formal to Princess Twilight, forget trying to mind control every student in CHS or turn into a literal succubus only to get my ass kicked by my new friends, this... this is the end of my social life and my friendship with AJ'.

Sunset's memory replayed the incident again and again in her head just so that her stupid owner could torture herself reviving her shame fresh and warm.

FLASHBACK...
"Bi-Big Mac?". Sunset's eyes went from half open and relaxed to wide open and terrified, in front of her was Big Mac frozen and eyes just as wide as Sunset's, his mouth was open in shock and his legs and hands were paralyzed as well since the flashlight he was carrying felt to the wooden floor with a loud 'thud' noise and he wasn't moving or turning around, meanwhile Sunset clumsily tried to pull her shorts back up and adjust her top, finally Big Mac turned around to give her some privacy that Sunset desperately needed.

Once her clothes were back in place she now came to the horrible realisation that he was probably going to kick her out of the farm and if he knew how her night with Applejack and the other ones end up there was no doubt that the goodbye wasn't going to be pretty.

Sunset was with her back toward him, facing the corner like a little girl waiting her punishment, a stream of tears already building up in her eyes.

Meanwhile Big Mac who by now had recovered from the shock was still trying to shot down the image of the girl in front of him, he saw everything that a girl could hide with clothes and then some, his heart was jumping like a bronco that wanted to throw off the rider in his back, still he knew that Sunset was probably in a heck of a situation, proved when he did a low sound with his throat and the redheaded girl almost jumped out of her clothes again. 'Nice goin ya moron! Ya make her tremble, how can ah calm her down without scarin her more? Hmmmm ah gat nothin... then just try ta be honest Big Mac'.

"Miss Shimmer?... Sunset... Miss Sunset?". As Sunset heard her name been called her shoulders tensed.

"Miss..uh.? Sunset! Ah ll call ya Sunset then, can ah... talk ta ya? Directly? Ah mean face ta face". Sunset slowly turned from observing the corner, giving Big Mac the view of a pretty distressed girl who was beyond mortified.

"Ah am not mad or angry at ya just... well shocked, but not angry, ah swear". Sunset seemed to relax if even a little.

"Did mah sister ever told ya about this place?". Sunset was confused about the question but shook her head, she never recalled Applejack mentioning even that they had horses.

"Ah see, she probably don remember much about it but there was a time when we had horses, mah mother, Pear Butter was an expert in breeding, she had talent for detectin changes on the mares by their scent and could tell when one was pregnant or in heat, it turn out that ah had the same talent and could also detect the changes". 'So far so good Mac! Now here's the though part'.

"After that party that mah sister and the rest thrown ta ya, ah... ah started detecting a similar scent in ya, the one that meant ya were in heat".

Sunset demeanor changed from bad to worst as the words be told her sunk into her mind, she started hyperventilating and her body shook violently. "Do I... Do I smell like a mare in heat? Have I been smelling like that in front of everyone?".

"Sunset you...". Mac did the mistake of approach her while she was in shock and she quickly pulled away from him as if he was going to hurt her. "Don't touch me! By Celestia why... why have no one told me anything".

"Sunset calm down! No one as told ya anything cos ah think that no one can smell like ah do, not even AJ, please trust me, ya think that by now nobody would have told ya somethin?". Big Mac took Sunset's arms and held them without causing damage to her even when she tried to break free. " Ah swear by mah name that ah speak the true".

"I... I don't know what to say". Sunset answered abit more calm, feeling some of her distress slip away as Big Mac held her arms like he did.

"Yer scent is not repulsive or gross... Is more like... To me... to me ya smell like cider spiced with Cinnamon and honey... Ah... ah like yer smell". Big Mac's expression turned dreamy, as if he was remembering something pleasant.

"Big Mac I... You saw what I was doing.. don't you... Aren't you disgusted by what I was doing?". Sunset's face turned scarlet after asking.

Mac shook his head. "Not at all, ya may have been under the influence of yer heat, I have seen the kind of person ya really are and ah know ya would never do somethin like this for no reason, ah... admired how much ya changed durin yer time here in the human world, ya changed from a resentful person to a girl that everyone wants to know and have around". Big Mac did a gesture of cleaning away the tears left in her eyes and Sunset allowed it, her heart flustered by the action and Sunset found herself unable to remove her cyan eyes from his green ones.

"Ya don hafta worry about what happened, ah ll never tell a soul ah promise, even more ah know a few things that can help ya with yer problem".

"You... You do?". Sunset asked with some hope.

"Mah mother told me of a few herbs that can ease the heat a little, they can be used in tea to calm the effects but just for some time, second thing is... Well pleasure yerself and mixed with the herbs ya will get better results and then third...". Big Mac stopped mid explanation and Sunset saw his expression changing.

When Sunset didn't ask Big Mac continued with cheeks as red as Sunset's hair. " The last one is... Well give yer body what is askin, the... after doin it yer body should be back ta normal, it must be ta same like with mares in heat".

"Se-se... That!". Sunset asked again but in reality she heard him perfectly.

"Afraid so Sunset, listen ah know how bad it must been for ya right now, ya have had troubles with mah sister and the rest haven't ya?". Sunset nodded remembering how bad she was a few moments ago which was the second reason to why she end up in the stable.

"Ah can do the tea for ya, ah think that we have some of those herbs around but the rest... well that's... ya know up ta ya, if ya don want mah help and don want ta talk about this with me then like ah said ah won't tell what happened so don worry".

"I... I don't know Big Mac, I... This is too much right now". 'You just found me with my fingers deep inside me and my breasts hanging out like a some deprived sex maniac! How can I talk to you about this!'.

"Granny may have better advice for ya then, she will keep yer secret too so if ya prefer to-".

"No!". Sunset didn't know why she shouted, Big Mac was right, talking with Granny Smith was more logical, she was older, wiser and been a woman could relate with her better that a man could and yet, somehow Sunset felt that if she turned down his help she would lose something, she couldn't describe what or why but she felt better if it was him.

"I'll think about it, just please... not a word about this".

"Ya have mah word Sunset, for whatever is worth to ya, oh and a Pinkie promise too if that make ya feel better". Mac did the ridiculous motion of the ritual and Sunset know felt stupid for demanding such thing, if there was something for what the Apples were know for was their honesty.

"Thanks Big Mac, sorry for everything".

"No need ma'am, there was no harm done, now then ya probably want to take shower and change so let me take ya home, ah ll just put things away". Big Mac moved pass Sunset and opened the trunk, he put the little candle away and extinguished the flame he then pulled out a blanket and handed it to Sunset, she took it with some hesitation.

"It's clean so don worry, now then let head back". Sunset nodded and put the blanket over her shoulders, the aroma that the blanket emitted was surprisingly fresh, Big Mac started walking and Sunset follow him outside the stables, outside the moon was again blocked by clouds so Mac gave Sunset his flashlight and walked in front of her.

"Aren't you gonna need this if you are leading the way?". Sunset asked but continued after him.

"Ah know the roads better that Aj, even in the dark, ya need it more that me". Mac answered without turning around and Sunset believed him since even with the flashlight he was moving faster that her, she tried to catch up but in her hurry she tripped and yelped but to her surprise a pair of strong arms kept her from falling.

"Ya okay?". Big Mac held her for a moment while she got back on her feet.

"Yeah, sorry even with the flashlight the ground seems tricky". Sunset's heart jumped once more when Mac caught her, she also had a funny feeling of deja-vu.

"It is, here...". Big Mac extended offered his hand, Sunset saw it and after a minute of debate she took it, he turned around and started walking forward with a slow pace that allowed Sunset to walk behind with no problem. His hand felt warm and Sunset could feel his rugged fingers holding her thinner ones with a firm yet delicate grip.

Sunset tried to remember the last few times she went out with Flash Sentry and no once she could recall doing something like this with him, when they walked he always kept his hands in his pockets or one arm over her shoulder but that was about it, even in those moment she never felt a touch or sensation like the ones Mac was giving her.

As they approached the farm house Sunset instinctively removed her hand from Big Mac's grip and as soon as she did she felt a bit of cold even more that if she were to remove the blanket over her shoulders, still it was a good thing she did so as when they got closer Applejack was waiting in the porch of the house, her face set into a scowl and her eyes angry red.

As they approached Sunset felt chills run down her spine, if Applejack was about to kick her completely out of the farm then exposing her secret right now would inevitably involve Macintosh and the last thing Sunset wanted was to cause discord between the Apple siblings.

Applejack approached with firm steps toward them. " Now where in tarnation have ya taken Sunset Big Mac?". As AJ did her way in front of her brother she dug a finger in his chest and Big Mac winced and backed away a little like if he was been pushed.

Sunset was stunt for Applejack question, did she thought that Big Mac took her outside the farm? Wasn't she the one who told her to stay away? Before Sunset could defend Macintosh he spoke up.

"Sorry sis, just saw her around and she looked a bit down so ah told her if she wanted to take some fresh air, that's all".

Sunset was left speechless when Big Mac just pulled the lie out of the air so ease but more so because with that he was making himself the target of Applejack's ire.

"In the middle of the cold night? Big Mac what were ya thinking, she could get hurt by suggesting something so dumb, ya better think before putting one of mah friends in danger!". Applejack tried to shove another accusing finger in his chest but this time Big Mac swapped her hand away causing Applejack to lose her balance.

"Ah know it was dumb but let me ask ya somethin lil missy, why was she sad to begin with, mind tellin me?".

"I... We... Ah was...". Applejack couldn't formulate an answer that wouldn't reveal their early fight and how she pressed the redhead for an answer.

"Ah thought ya were supposed to have a good time, nor sendin one of yer friend to the dumps and do ah need to remind ya to watch out with that strength of yers". Big Mac slightly removed his shirt to reveal a purple spot where Applejack struck him with her finger first.

"Big Mac!". Sunset was surprised to see the bruise in his chest and even more surprised by Macintosh' mild reaction, she was sure that if Applejack shoved her finger at her with the same force she would have been injured way worse.

"Big Brother ah am so sorry ah didn mean to!".

"It's ok Aj, ah know ya didn did it on purpose but just watch out and control that anger of yers, ya don want ta hurt Bloom or one of yer friends right?".

"You, you're right, sorry again... and Sunset ah am sorry for been a knucklehead, we know that ya may have things that are hard to explain and we'll wait until ya think is right ta tell us ok?".

"I'm sorry too Applejack, the thing is...". Sunset bit her lip trying to think how could she explain her problem right now when her brother was present and without breaking the lie he just told to save her.

"Ya girls should leave that for tomorrow, even if ya were planin on stayin late is kinda far from sleepover standard ah think?".

Big Mac moved pass the two girls but before disappear through the door he spoke again. "If Ms Shimmer doesn't feel well to go back with ya let her us the guest room, ah ll see ya girls tomorrow". After delivering his speech he left and Sunset was glad that Big Mac left her a escape route to her predicament.

"Aren't ya comin back with us? Ah mean the sleepover was for ya actually".

"Thanks AJ but I'll take the guest room this time, I need to clear my head, but how about we have breakfast with everyone uh? How does that sound?".

"Ah guess is ok for now, sorry again for acting all uppity with ya".

Sunset nodded and a smile spread across her face, this is what Sunset never wanted to lose, her friendship. She hugged Applejack to demonstrate that she was cool with how thing end up but that in itself was a mistake when her still sensitive breasts were squeezed against Applejack's firm bossom. "Glad we are ok Sugarcube now ah won't stop ya anymore, yer probably very tired, uh? Why is yer face red like a tomato?".

"I... I must have walked to much and end up all sweaty".

"That blanket look cozy too, oh... this is Big Mac's right?".

"Yeah, he lend it to me, thought that I may get cold, is... something wrong with it?".

"What? Nah... is just that That blanket was make by Ma, Big Mac is kinda overprotective of those things, ah am surprised that he give it to ya".

"Should I, should I give it back?".

"Nah, that may actually make him feel bad, just folded in top of the bed before you leave, anyway, time to hit the sack, big breakfast tomorrow, have a nice one Sunset".

"You too Applejack".
END OF FLASHBACK.

Back in the present Sunset's mind was still in turmoil, even if she somehow dodged the bullet this day there was zero guaranty that it would remain that way but more important she was seen. 'He saw me, he saw my breasts! He saw me with my finger in my... in my... Oh by Celestia! I'm getting hot again, stop it! Think positive! Maybe... Maybe he can help me, maybe... ugh tired... finally'.

While sleep finally defeated her anxiety she took one last look at her hand, the one Big Mac held while they walked in the dark, she could still felt a light tingle but attributed to her tiredness she held her hand over her chest and finally fell sleep.

NEXT MORNING...
The farm's kitchen was chaos right now, both Applejack and Pinkie Pie manned it with a combo of ham and eggs from one side with fresh orange juice and coffee in the other all while the cousins prepared Apple tarts for dessert.

Fluttershy and Sunset prepared the table while Twilight and Rarity were cleaning up Applejack's room, Rainbow Dash was still sleeping in the middle of the room, Twilight used her telekinesis to make the beds but the sound of a snapshot make her turn around.

"What was that?".

"Just this darling". Rarity shown Twilight her cellphone with a picture of Rainbow drooling and her bra visible to the view.

"She's going to be mad Rarity, you should delete it".

"Well, that's what she gets for not helping and besides, didn't she call you egghead many times last night?".

Twilight thought for a second before finally getting her own phone out and taking high quality pictures of Rainbow and her little drool river.

"Breakfast is ready y'all so come down!".

"Coming!".

"Do we wake her up?".

"Let her there, it going to be hilarious when Applejack finds the wet spot where Rainbow is drooling ". Rarity said with a malicious tone, both girls went to the kitchen with the rest.

Once everything was ready the 6 rainbooms sat to feast, while Sunset still felt nervous she felt that her body was for now under control, she felt fresh and the conversation was focused on mundane themes that didn't involve her directly, food, diets, new cloth trends, tests, and work was all they talked while eating, having a nice time with friends was what Sunset needed, however all good things must come to an end and this one was no exception when a high raspy scream was heard coming from the second floor, the girls quickly recognized the origin as the one and only Rainbow Dash.

"I'm sorry, ok? It was totally an accident!". Rainbow Dash came rushing from the stairs, red faced and her hands hiding her face, she slumped down at one of the chairs still hiding her face and seconds later and stomping his way through came Big Mac, his hair still wet from the shower he just took, his cheeks just as red as Rainbow's face.

"What in tarnation was that!". Asked Applejack angry that their meal was been spoiled.

"It wasn't my fault! He... I was still sleepy and I... He didn't lock his door!".

"You're not makin any sense Rainbow".

"Dash here broke into mah room without knockin and... Ah was just comin out ta the shower and...".

Applejack didn't need more that that, she put two and two. "Ya saw mah brother in his birthday suit!". All the other girls gasped at the news.

"NO!".

"NOPE!".

Both Rainbow and Big Mac exclaimed at the same time. "Ah was pullin mah pants up AJ, and ah don lock the door cos y'all know better that to bargain in mah room without knockin first!".

Applejack did a facepalm. "Fine! Just get a seat then, we are about to start anyway".

As luck would have it the only spot available for the farmer was next to Sunset and as soon as she realise this she felt uncomfortable, her expression was obvious to Big Mac who just shrugged and walked past her. "That's ok sis, ya too Pinkie for the breakfast but ha need to get goin, got a meetin with Rich around noon and ah already goin late".

Mac walked to the fridge and pulled out a cider bottle, as he walked out he took Applejack's hat from her head and kissed her in the head while putting the hat away. "Hey!".

"If Granny sees ya usin it while eatin again she'll spank ya, remember?".

"Yeah... Ah forgot... thanks and good luck". Applejack said to her brother with pink cheeks.

"Hey cousin, where's my kiss?". Pinkie jumped in Big Mac's way hugging him while rising her lips to get a kiss on them but Big Mac kissed her in the forehead instead making her pout.

"Enjoy the breakfast y'all". Big Mac nodded to the rest before leaving, Sunset turned to see him and their eyes met if only for a second and Sunset had the impression that he was hurt for her reaction and she felt bad for it.

"Too bad you didn't get your smooch Pinkie ha ha!".

"Too bad you didn't get to see Big Mac's little Mac". Pinkie countered while jiggling her eyebrows making fun of her friend.

"Stop that ya two, we're about to dig in". Applejack commanded to the rest and they obeyed. The table remained silent from the girls, the only noises were coming from the plates and the glasses until Rarity decided to start the conversation again.

"So Rainbow, are sure you didn't saw... anything?".

Rainbow's face went back to tomato stage color but she remained silent for a bit, when she still felt Rarity's gaze over her she decided to curve her way out.

"Wha-what about Sunset! She was outside with him was she?".

'Why you little traitor'. "We... just walked around, it was nothing special, seriously". Sunset hoped that her face wasn't turning as red as Rainbow's.

"So you guys didn't do naughty things? Booooring!".

"Pinkie!". Both Applejack and Sunset yelled.

"Can we please start eatin and not talk about mah brother?". After Applejack's plea the girls complied and continued with their meal and their friendly chat.

After the breakfast Pinkie came out with the idea of continuing their reunion in the mall, Rarity and Rainbow were all for it but Applejack told the group that she had some shores left since Apple Bloom was absent, Twilight wanted to double check her homewirk as well as reading 'Only you would do a double check of your homework in Sunday'. Fluttershy apparently was to attend an event with her family leaving Sunset to answer yet, Sunset found the idea nice of course but now that she had a chance she needed to visit Princess Twilight and see if she could find a solution from her perky problem, she immediately remembered what he told her the precious night 'I need to have sex to get rid of this? No, no no! There's have to be another way!'.

"Sunset?".

"Sorry what were you saying?".

"Darling you need to stop daydreaming or I'm going to think that there's a boy up in her occupying space". Rarity told Sunset while tapping her forehead with a finger.

"Sorry but is nothing like that, I need to go to Equestria for a while and check on something".

"It's magic related? Is magic causing problems again?". Asked Rarity again.

"No no nothing like that, is just...".

"Girls that's enough, let her be".

"Thanks AJ".

"It's nothin Sugarcube, Big Mac was right last night we shouldn't push ya to tell us what's wrong like that, just remember that here we are for ya".

"Thanks, to all of you, I really enjoyed the night".

After saying their goodbyes Sunset went to the guest room to retrieve her sleeping bag and her stuff, when she walked inside she noticed another bag next to her belongings.

'Uh? What's this?'. Inside the bag was a thermo filled with some liquid as well as an aluminum wrap, when she open it she found a pack of apple fritters and a note.

Heya Sunset, the fritters are for helping me with my truck, inside the container is the tea I told you about, drink it to reduce your condition, at the bottom is the recipe, you can try to make it yourself if you want to, if you need some of the herbs I can get them for you but I don't mind doing the tea for you, take care and if you feel like talking I'm all ears.
M.A.

Sunset read the note 3, 5 times maybe, every time just making her feel worse remembering the way she reacted when she thought that he would seat next to her, she wondered if he noticed and that's why he decided to leave and not eat with them, shaking her head of more depression she put the food and drink inside her bag and put the note inside her wallet, a few minutes later she was ready to leave.

After saying goodbye to the rest of the Rainbooms Sunset walked through the dirt road until reaching the nearest bus stop mildly tired, she had been saving to by herself a small car but even with overtime it was taking some time.

After riding the bus she dropped her stuff in her apartment and fed her pet lizard, she send a quick message to the princess so that she would open the portal, by the time she was ready to go to CHS she was getting hungry again and all the walking was making her body acting up again, she took a big gulp of the tea that was bittersweet, she detected a hint of honey on it, she also took a couple of fritters before finally leaving for school.

A few more minutes by foot Sunset did it to the school grounds, she dropped next to the statue that housed the portal to her world. Been Saturday there was a few people still walking around, Sunset kept her attention while resting to find the best moment to jump went the portal was ready.

She heard people approaching and simply move it out of the way.

"And that's when I decided that he was a no good son of a b-".

"Ha think that I get what ya mean Ma'am! No need to curse so close to the school where any student can hear ya!". Sunset froze recognising the two voices immediately as Vice-Principal Luna Regal and the last guy she wanted to bump into 'Scratch that, Flash Sentry is the last guy I want to bump into'.

Thinking fast Sunset launched herself behind the bushes that surrounded the statue, she didn't dare move afraid that ic she was to move she would reveal her presence.

"But seriously, aren't any good man left in this town for getting a date?".

"Ah take that as an insult ya know?".

Luna turned around and put a hand in the young man's cheek. "Aaaah sorry my little pupil, I didn't meant you, don't get grumpy my cute student".

"Miss Luna?".

"Ups, sorry... I didn't went to far did I?".

"No Miss Luna... Ah am over ya, for real".

Luna seemed to relax. "Still, sorry Big Mac, sometimes I forget how much of an ass I can be".

"Eeyup". Mac said his trademark answer with a smile and apologetic Luna transformed into angry Luna.

"You don't pull any punches either you goof". Luna punched Big Mac in the shoulder but apparently it was Luna who end up hurt.

"Ya ok there Miss?".

"I'll remember this, anyway what brought you here today, the delivery was last Thursday and Tia didn't mention you helping today".

"That's... Ah came to... talk ta ya, if ya got the time". Something in the expression of her former pupil told Luna that it was serious.

"Yeah I got the time, big sis Luna is here for you, let's go to my office".

"Thanks, since when do ya have an office anyway?".

"Since Tia is not here today so it my office for now".

Sunset waited until the voices disappeared completely, her heart still hammering against her chest, without intention Sunset heard their little chat in front of the statue and now she was more curious about the blonde farmer, Big Mac sounded distraught and even Luna seemed to pick on that, as Sunset wondered if she was the main reason to his problem with what happen in the last 24 hours, the portal suddenly activated and Sunset was now able to go through it.

She looked the portal with hesitation now, debating wherever going through or looking to fix the situation with Big Mac first, shaking her head she decided to head through the portal, seeking information took priority, taking one deep breath Sunset walked into it.

FRIENDSHIP CASTLE, EQUESTRIA.
As always the exit from the portal was just as bad as the journey, Sunset picked herself up with pain in her flank and forgetting that her legs worked different in this world it took her a few tries before she got them to work as they were supposed to.

"It's always fun to seen somepony else struggle with that isn't it?".

Sunset turned to the voice if Princess Twilight Sparkle who was giggling in a corner of the room causing Sunset to blush.

"Is good to see you Sunset Shimmer".

"Likewise Princess, it's bee a long time". The two ponies embraced in a hug.

"When I saw your message I was worried that another magic incident was happening so I tried to open the portal as soon as possible".

"Thanks Princess I really appreciate this chance to check your library, there's this... thing that I want to check and only an equestrian library may have the answer".

"It's that so? Tell me what are you looking for and I can help you, I'm sure that between the two of us we can find your answer! So what is it? Magic amplification? Transmutation, equestrian alchemy oh oh oh don't tell me... Elemental manipulation!". Sunset was driven to the floor as the lavender alicorn proposed topic after topic of investigation while her eyes shone with the madness of knowledge.

"It something more... Physical that that...is about... the...".

"Yes?". Asked Twilight with stars in her eyes.

"Mare...".

"Uh hu?".

"Heat...".

"Go on".

"Cycle".

Twilight froze, the stars in her eyes broke, her face contorted into one of those abstract paints in human museums, her left eye twitched uncontrollably while her lips peeled back and Sunset was sure that her fur passed form lavender to fuchsia.

"Mare. heat. Cycle? Mark Heat Cycle? Mark Hat Cycle? Mark Hat Cyclone? Markhatcyclone? Mark-?". The alicorn started to mumble nonsense after nonsense while Sunset took a few steps back from the insane pony.

"Twi-princess Twilight? Are you ok?".

"Hey what's all the commotion he-what the? Twilight?". A little purple dragon appeared and jumped after seen his sister going bunkers.

"What's going on? Sunset Shimmer? What happened to her?". Asked Spike now also keeping his distance from Twilight as she started shooting magic from her horn in random directions while she kept talking gibberish.

"I... I just told her I needed info about something and she became like that, Watch out!". One of the magic blast reached Sunset and Spike but Sunset produced a shield in time to blocked.

"She's getting out of control, what... What did you ask her about?".

"Something personal ok, that's all you need to know".

"Fine! Let me distract her for now, Hey Twilight your library needs to rearrange!". Spike yelled to his sister and the trashing stopped completely.

"The... library? re-rearrange? My... library?". That seemed to calm her down.

"Yes Twilight, your books, follow me, I'll take you to them".

Spike signalled at Twilight to follow and she did like if she were under a trance and Sunset follow them from behind toward the library, when they arrived Spike showed Twilight her precious library and she quickly removed the book with her magic and started the process of rearrange.

While Spike and Twilight were busy with their project Sunset used the distraction to look for some book that could help her while pretending to help with the organisation, she tried to pick the ones that talked about pony anatomy and biology before Twilight or Spike could take them.

"Pony evolution through the ages? No. Main differences between pony species? No. New development in unicorn magic and its applications? Not this one either".

"Ugh looks like she calmed down for now, but seriously what did you ask her about to get her like that?".

"Mare heat Cy..cle". Only at the end Sunset realised that her tongue slipped and she pretty much confessed her true goal.

"Uh, that was it then, no wonder Twilight flipped, hold on let me get it for you". Spike went to a bundle of book that he had been collecting and pulled a red cover book with golden marks, he then ran back to Sunset and handed the book to the still stunt unicorn.

"Here you go, oh and you can use the special room for lecture next door".

"Wha- how wait what? Just... Just like that I mean...". Sunset blushed as by now Spike probably knew why she wanted the book, the title was self explanatory.

"Don't worry about anything, I'm pretty used by now how mares want to use the book for their first heat season while trying to hide the fact that they need it, poor Twilight here got it pretty bad the first time the mares of Ponyville needed the book and she suffered through all the crazy stuff that they tried in order to get it without her noticing, Fluttershy was the worst of them all by the way, you go ahead if you want to read it now, I'll deal with her". Spike went to talk to the alicorn leaving Sunset at her own advice.

With book in hooves she didn't ask more questions and quickly did her way to the room that Spike mentioned, inside she found a small table for lecture and a set of chairs neatly arranged, Sunset placed the book on the table and and took one of the chairs to seat on and then... nothing, she didn't open the book, she didn't touched, she just stared at it without moving away or closer to it, she just kept her cyan eyes on it as if she were to take her eyes from it it would disappear.

"Ugh come on Sunset, this is stupid, you came all the way to find this and now that you have it you do nothing?". Taking a deep breath she then turned the first page with her magic and started reading, first the basics, specific mare anatomy and description of what heat cycle was to be like. Sunset knew that this wasn't going to provide much inside since she was going to be in a different body with symptoms that she already knew too well.

Second came more insight in the cycle itself which Sunset read with dread, the first fact that it was a cycle meant that she would be going through the hellish process several times during her life, as soon as a mare reached age for fertility her cycle would commence, the mare would go into heat and seek out a mating partner, most mares would look for the best stallions that would provide both strong genes and... Sunset had to shake her head a couple of times before start again, strong genes and sexual satisfaction.

Sunset blinked several times before reading the part again, was that really written in this book? Sunset continued, the next part was more information in calculating the cycle's duration and frequency, Sunset read it but to her horror both subjects were attached with the number of times a mare would have sex, Sunset remembered what Big Mac told her, about the mare turning more docile if she mated recently and constantly.

'So he was right about this, those that mean that the only way I have to control this is by... having sex with someone? And even then is just temporal? I need to keep looking, there's has to be another way' . Sunset kept reading but her hopes plummeted like a rock in an swamp and her sentence was assured when she reached the end of the book, no countermeasure existed for the cycle until the mare reached old age, the cycle would slow down only after the mare give birth to her first foal.

A foal, a baby in the human world, Sunset hasn't even thought about that, another reason to be worried about this whole affair, she was afraid of losing her virginity and even more of having a kid at her 18's.

Inevitably Sunset felt defeated, her whole purpose of coming to Equestria was to find a solution that didn't include having to bang some guy but now everything indicated that that was the closest she could get to a remedy, even with Big Mac's tea and self pleasure she didn't know how effective it could be and she didn't want to add more problems to her life, it was enough with School, work, band practise and now this to add a freaking boyfriend, it was just too much for the amber unicorn.

Sunset took the book back to the library and found Spike and a more calm Twilight, she thank them both and after returning the book with caused another burt of hysteria from the alicorn Sunset took her leave.

Dragging her hooves all the way to the portal Sunset did like before and took a deep breath of air but it turned into a sob, she entered the portal to go back home.

Back in CHS, the front statue's plate started shimmering and the surface became liquid, like a torpedo Sunset Shimmer was launched across the air and she prepared for impact by closing her eyes and protecting her face, however the damage was almost annulled when she collided with another human body, Sunset open one eye don't knowing with what or who did she make contact, her surprise forced both eyes wide open.

"Uhm, wut's that phrase they use in movies? We hafta stop meetin like... this or somethin?". Sunset has just passed from mortified to horrified when she saw Big Macintosh in the floor with his face just inches from hers.

Author's Note

So last week was my oldest daughter's birthday and my wife and I continued a war we have to get the best gift, so I go to the internet and buy the forgotten friendship mini dolls I kid you not the Trixie doll cost more that the other 5 dolls combined(No Rainbow Dash or Rarity doll in this one). By this point I'm positive that I won but oh no, no no no, it turns out that my wife found some new doll in Wal-Mart, this are smaller and can exchange clothes (no Fluttershy doll in this one). So another victory for my wife. Thanks a lot Hasbro Thanks for reading and until next time.
