Sunset Shimmer was very pretty to Twilight Sparkle. She had a flowing mane with reflections of gold and fire in the mix, her skin was a tan golden color and her eyes glimmered in a way that reminded one of the ocean. When she looked at you, like really looked at you, you can feel the fire burning from her eyes into your open soul.
Starlight Glimmer was also very pretty, Twilight thought. She was quirky, of course. She had a dead-pan humor that made Twilight's heart beat a thousand times per minute. Her eyes, her eyes were so pretty. They were big and full of life, dancing around her lashes and to her pupils.
Twilight was sat between these two beautiful ponies, eating her usual mixed berry crepe. She was smiling, laughing, giggling,
smirking, dancing with joy, and hugging.
She got to have them both.
When Sunset visited Equestria for summer vacation, Twilight and Sunset began hanging out often. They shared ice cream together, they went walking down paths for what seemed like eternity. They kissed in a field of strawberries. Twilight was in love. Then, Starlight started hanging out with them. They began eating crepes for lunch. Strawberry syrup ran down their faces as they laughed together. They cuddled in Twilight's bed for hours.
The first time Twilight kissed Starlight, after playfully wrestling and and being pinned down by the mare, as Sunset watched in amazement of the two mouths dancing with each other, they began working out the kinks of a 3-way relationship.
Starlight and Sunset kissed under a weeping willow tree, at dusk.
It was love. It was love.
So there she sat, at their usual table, blueberry and raspberry bits dripping down her cheek, smiling with the girls she loved.
"Do you guys want to go home and smoke a joint once Starlight finishes her crepe?" Sunset asked, sipping on her caramel milkshake.
"Sunset! Don't talk about that in public!" Twilight hushed her girlfriend. "Besides, we're all out. We don't have time to go through the portal to get more."
"I know Celestia said we shouldn't misuse the portal, but I think it's cool that we get to live in both worlds." Starlight said, then smirked. "Plus, the other Twilight is so cute with those glasses. Twilight, are you sure you don't need your vision checked?"
"Ponies can't wear glasses, Starlight." Twilight said matter-of-factly. "Although, since everypony has a counterpart, I wonder who the other Sunset is."
Sunset looked startled. "Um, there is no other Sunset."
Twilight looked back at her girlfriend with confusion. "What do you mean?"
Sunset sighed. "She died," she started saying, carefully.
"Oh my Celestia, did you kill her?" Starlight was now interested, putting aside her cotton candy milkshake for the drama.
"No!" Sunset shouted, seeming a bit insecure.
"You are making it sound like you killed her," Twilight said jokingly.
Sunset sighed again. "I didn't kill her ; she killed herself."
"Oh my God, you made her do it?" Starlight sipped her milkshake with enticement.
"For Celestia's sake, no!" Sunset was a bit frustrated. "I guess she was bullied or something. I went looking for her records awhile back, and something about high school bullying was attached to a photo of her."
"I'm sorry, Sunset." Twilight said carefully. "I don't know what to say."
"It must be horrible having another you out there, and knowing that she was so sad she committed suicide." Starlight sighed.
"I guess it's an alternative to using magic to manipulate other people," Sunset said back, stirring her empty milkshake. "We should go home now, sorry to be a bummer."
They walked home together, smiling and laughing, forgetting about everything in the world but each other.
"We. Need. To Find. Weed." Twilight said, using her magic to teleport around the room, looking in every nook and cranny.
Sunset, being the slightly more edgy of the three, introduced the plant to them. She found out about it in the human world, and that was their source of it. Twilight didn't like the idea at first, but after a few hits of her first joint, she found herself obsessed with the powers of medical marijuana.
"It does everything, it cures my anxiety, it helps me study, it makes food taste wonderful, and I could go on." Twilight would say about the plant, time and time again.
Starlight was open to the idea. So they smoked together and made it a tradition to go have crepes and milkshakes at their favorite shop, then go home and smoke a blunt.
"Twilight, calm down." Sunset said, meaning to be more demanding but coming off more soft than that.
"We need to go through the portal right now and get more." Twilight panted.
"Okay, who's the one that talks about not abusing the portal?" Starlight deadpanned at her girlfriend.
"We could stay there for the night," Sunset thought. "It is easier to hold a joint with hands."
"Great idea, Sunset! Let's go!" Twilight smiled, looking a little frantic. Her hair had flyaways all over, and she looked a bit anxious.
As they walked towards the room that held the portal, now connected to a device that keeps it open forever, Sunset looked at twilight.
"I think you're a bit anxious, Twi." Sunset swung her hoof over Twilight's shoulder. "We should chill when we get to my house."
Sunset lived in a little apartment she rented herself with money she received from her parents' deaths. They stayed there about half the days of the week, and in Equestria at Twilight's castle for the others, where they all primarily lived when they weren't crashing at Sunset's.
They went through the portal, jumping through and going through the tunnel, this time silently, not anymore shocked by the experience.
They arrived at Canterlot high, now sprouting two long legs each and hands. They walked through the night, holding hands and coming in close.
"I'm certain that if we just show up at his house he'll have weed," Twilight said, using her phone with her new hands. "He's posting pictures of blunts all over his Snapchat!"
"I've got the bits- I mean, dollars." Sunset smiled.
They walked down the street, until they hit a street called Pegasus. They turned and approached the large house on the street.
Sunset knocked on the door, her two girlfriends standing behind her.
Suddenly, the door opened and Flash Century appeared behind it. "Oh hey! Isn't it my favorite polyamorous trio!"
Twilight blushed. Sunset looked at her and gave her a dirty look. She had always had a thing for Flash.
"If you ever want to join, you'd be welcome-" Twilight started, blinking slowly at her crush.
"Shut up, Twilight." Starlight and Sunset said in unison, used to it by now.
"I would, but I've got my eyes on one girl in particular..." he drifted off, looking at Twilight.
"Back off, my dude. Okay, where's the weed? We've got the cash." Starlight said abruptly, breaking up the two love-birds.
"Yeah, okay," Flash said, going back into the house and coming back out with a baggy. "It's Strawberry Fields,"
"Isn't.... that the name of an acid the Beatles took?" Starlight looked confused.
"Maybe, man. I do have some of that if you want it."
"Maybe next time," Sunset interjected. "Here's the money." She handed him thirty dollars.
"Thanks, man." Flash then handed them the bag. "See ya later, babe." He said, winking at Twilight.
"You do know he's a player, right, Twilight?" Sunset said as she rolled, looking at Twilight.
"Yes, I know. I just like to tease him with a little bit of this," Twilight shook her ass awkwardly. They all three laughed in unison.
Sunset lit the joint and took a hit. She passed it to Starlight. Starlight took a little hit, and as soon as it was out of her mouth Twilight grabbed it from her and inhaled fast and a lot.
"Calm down, babe." Sunset laughed. "You can't be that anxious."
"Oh, yes, I can. Generalized anxiety disorder can affect all parts of your life and cause a feeling of anxiety 24/7," Twilight stated as if reading straight off the DSM.
After they had smoked the joint, they laid in Sunset's bed, legs entwined together. It was a small bed, but they made it work.
"Do you ever feel like we won't ever be able to truly love each other, because we have to love two people at once?" Sunset thought aloud.
"Why would that be?" Starlight questioned her, petting Twilight's hair with her hand.
"I don't know, like is there enough love to go around?" Sunset sighed.
"I don't think there's a limit to how many people you can love at once," Twilight said, browsing on her phone. "I don't think that's scientifically possible for there to be a limit."
"You're so mathematical, it's cute." Starlight giggled. She kissed Twilight on the nose.
"Hey, you two are basically making out in front of me and not including me." Sunset pouted.
"Get in here, then!" Twilight pulled Sunset closer to her and Starlight, laughing. Sunset and Twilight bumped noses together.
"You're both the cutest people in both the pony world and the human world," Starlight giggled at the other two's antics.
"Whaaaat? You don't think Other World Twilight is hotter?" Twilight smirked.
"All she is is you with glasses on!" Starlight retorted back.
"She's a completely different individual!" Twilight said back.
Sunset brought Twilight in for a long kiss, then pulled back. "I don't think there's any better version of Twilight than you,"
"Aww! Do you see that? She likes me more." Twilight looked at Starlight and blew a raspberry at her, teasingly.
"No, we both tried to take over the world, we have a bond that you don't have!" Starlight said, blowing a raspberry back.
"Ladies, ladies! Stop fighting over me!" Sunset was basically in tears at this point. "We just need to have Princess Twilight have a tyrannical breakdown and try to take over Equestria, only to apologize in the end."
"I am perfectly fine being the good guy," Twilight said with confidence.
"Other Twilight did it, so you've obviously got it in your veins..." Starlight poked and prodded at Twilight's arm jokingly.
"Hey, if there is a human world and a pony world, do you think there's other worlds?" Sunset suddenly had a serious expression on her face.
"Oh, definitely." Twilight said, Starlight nodding along with her smartly. "There could be thousands of dimensions. It just happens that the mirror leads to this one."
"Ooooooooh, we should definitely go hunt down another magical portal mirror and go to the world where we're all talking cats." Starlight smiled widely, picturing being a talking cat and doing nothing all day.
"I love you girls." Sunset said, looking at the two with big, glowing eyes.
"We love you so much more," Twilight smiled, kissing her girlfriends cheeks.
They fell asleep like that, after Twilight finally got off her phone and stopped showing them memes, all wrapped up together, happily, dreaming of strawberry crepes and milkshakes.
Author's Note
this is just a lil story that establishes the crepes universe, ill be writing more stories based off this universe. i just think this pairing works so well, how Sunset's logical side bounces off of Twilight's matter-of-fact side and Starlight's smugness. I like it and it's easy to write
