It was a late night and Sunset had finally finished her shift at the music shop, she said goodbye to Vinyl and decided it was a good night for a drink. She picked up her phone and called Twilight, she figured a drinking buddy would be good and she needed to blow off some steam. Sunset walked towards the bar, it wasn't far from her apartment and she had walked to work anyway.

"Hey Twi, it's Sunset? I was wondering if you're doing anything tonight? Thought maybe we could get a few drinks." she asked,

"Sorry Sunset, I've got to work in the morning. Plus Principal Celestia is still on vacation so I've got a few extra classes to teach. But, maybe you can try Pinkie Pie? I'm sure she's available." Twilight replied. Sunset thought about the last time she went drinking with Pinkie and how crazy things had gotten and she just wanted a nice relaxing night, not a wild party like Pinkie would make things into.

"No that's ok, think I'll just spend some time alone then. Talk to you later Twi." Twilight said her goodbyes and Sunset put her phone back into her pocket, she finally made it to the bar and walked inside.

Sunset sat down at the bar ordered a drink, she was a little upset Twilght didn’t come with her but she understood why. She was never much of a drinker, and she couldn’t hold her liquor very well either. Sunset took a sip of her drink and began to look at the photos on her phone, a comforting sense of nostalgia going through her mind as she looked at the pictures of her and her friends in highschool. It was hard to believe how long ago it had been she thought. Sunset was on her second drink when she her noticed the voice of the woman next to her. She looked to see her on her phone and recognized her, Adagio!? She thought, Sunset watched her from a distance wondering what she was she up to. Her previous encounters with the Dazzlings were usually never anything good, for a moment she thought about just using her geode and finding out why she was there. But she also didn't want to start a fight in the middle of the bar either. So she decided to listen for now.

“Well tell Sonata I’ll be back late...I know, I know, I’ll get it done tomorrow. Uh huh, thanks Aria. I’ll see you then.” Adagio said before hanging up her phone and going back to her drink. Adagio finished her drink and called the barkeep over ordering a bottle to fill her drink and poured herself another glass, Sunset wondered if she knew she was there. Maybe she was just ignoring her? It wouldn't surprise her if she was, finally losing her patience Sunset walked down the bar and stood next to her,

“What are you doing here Adagio?” she snapped. Adagio looked up to see Sunset standing next to her,

“Oh...Sunset, how nice to see you.” she said a smug grin on her face. Sunset slammed her hand down on the bar and asked again, Adagio looked away from her and picked up her glass drinking it slowly almost taunting Sunset.

“Obviously I’m here to drink...” she said pouring herself another glass, Sunset didn’t trust her, last time she saw her and the other Dazzlings was the Starswirl festival and that was years ago.

“You don't mind if I sit here then?” Sunset asked sitting on the stool next to her. Adagio smiled looking at her from the corner of her eye,

“Not at all, drink?” she asked offering Sunset some of the bottle she had. Sunset sneered and took the bottle pouring herself another drink, she quickly drank it and looked back at Adagio confidently. Adagio smiled and did the same drinking hers in one go same as Sunset, then smiled back. Sunset poured herself another drink and drank it again, the two began to go back and forth almost competing to see who could drink more. Before either one had realized it the bottle was more than half empty, Sunset was feeling pretty tipsy now and she had enough of Adagio’s smug attitude, that constant grin she kept on her face the entire time.

“You can’t fool me, I know you’re up to something...I bet your sisters are nearby looking for some magic, or the three of you are trying to steal something from someone.” Sunset’s words were beginning to slur a little as she yelled at Adagio who quietly sat and drank. Sunset was getting angrier as Adagio ignored her,

“Hey! Listen to me when I’m talking to you! I want to know why your really here! And your going to tell me.” Sunset snapped as she stood up leaned towards her, Adagio set her glass down and looked at Sunset still smiling as she leaned over her one hand on the bar for balance.

“Are you gonna answer my question or not?!” Sunset shouted, Adagio refused to answer of course. She loved the control she had at the moment, and seeing a drunken Sunset mad only made it better for her. Sunset continued to shout at her drawing attention to herself when Adagio suddenly reached up and grabbed Sunset by her hoodie and pulled her towards her, she stopped with Sunset’s face just a breath away from hers. Sunset stood frozen, her breathing was suddenly heavy, she started to sweat, her whole body getting hotter. Adagio silently looked back that confident smirk still on her face the entire time. Sunset couldn’t understand what was happening, was it the liquor? Did Adagio have her enthralled? Or was she just turned on by this level of confidence Adagio was showing? Her mind was racing with reasons as to why she suddenly felt this way.

“Well?” Adagio teased, Sunset could smell the liquor on her breath, the perfume on her body, her scent was almost as intoxicating as the liquor she had been drinking all night, and worst of all, she didn’t care anymore why she was there. She wanted her, now. Sunset leaned in and kissed her on the mouth, Adagio’s hand slowly reaching up from Sunset’s hoodie to the back of her head holding in place as they kissed. Sunset slowly pulled away and opened her eyes to look at Adagio again still smiling, she slowly licked her lips in a teasing manner and whispered.

“Do you wanna get out of here?” Sunset stood breathing heavy still, and answered,

“Hell yes...”

Author's Note

Originally made this for a friend, since they liked Adagio same as me, decided to post to see what kind of reactions I'd get. If everyone likes it enough maybe I'll add more while working on "House of Sun". If not, at least it's something else for me to post.
