Chapter 2 - Ruined Night

Previous Chapter

Sunday's injury wasn't that but of a deal, but it still fucking hurt. Twilight showered her with love and affection all the way through to keep Sunset's hospital fears at bay. She was always scared of the ones in this world, as she should be. Back in Equestria, the magic there was so strong that it you got attacked, you'd be out within 20 minutes with next to no after-pain. But, this wasn't a magical world, and Sunset knew that.

For the 3 bloody scars across her eye to be healed, she was given the correct doses of medicine, as well as a white eyepatch. it has an elastic band around it, and she was permitted to take it off for certain durations of the day. Along with that, she was also given pain medication, just in case.

Sunset was confused. "These are for people with way more serious injuries than mine. why do I get one?"

Redheart sighed. "The scars started at the top and made their way to the bottom of your eye. On the way down, the thing that you got attacked by, well, slightly damaged your iris. You're not completely blind, don't worry. But this is just a precautionary measure as any more serious damage could cause permanent blindness in your eye."

Twilight cuddled Sunset as the news sort of..set in. "Am I able to go home?" The nurse looked down at her clipboard and nodded. Once she was given the all-good, she stood up, Twilight grasping her hand in a loving way. They smiled at each other before leaving.


Twilight and Sunset just sat in her front room, watching some show about a man with a magical book, who could kill people if he wrote their names in it. Twilight held Sunset's small body against hers, in a comforting way. Sunset moved to place her head In her lap. Just as she was about to fall asleep, Twilight's stomach grumbled.

"We can get food," she paused to yawn. "Ya know.."

Twilight chuckled. "I don't wanna be a burden. You just got out of the hospital, so at least let me pay!"

Sunset awkwardly got up and nuzzled Twilight. "You know the rules."

"Yeah, but- she got interrupted by a kiss on the lips. "Next time, I'm paying, you little minx!" Twilight had Sunset pinned below her. "Don't make me tickle you."

Sunset chuckled and grabbed into Twilight's chest as she got up. The two were at the same level. Before Twilight could say anything, Sunset dove into her neck, cuddling Twilight. Twilight rubbing her back for a while, rocking gently. "I'll go order food, you get some rest."

Sunset nodded. "You know what I like, right?"

Rolling her eyes, she nodded. "Would we be together if I didn't?" Twilight picked up the phone and began to order as Sunset quietly dozed off on the couch. After ordering, she say down and Sunset imminently cuddled into her lap.

The silent buzzing of the TV, the light snores and the feeling of how the "little" bundle of joy almost depended on her, the knock on the door was the life she wanted. if this is now peaceful being magical heroes would get, she would have it in a heartbeat.

Wait, knocking on the door? How long has that been going on for?

Twilight rose up perhaps a bit too fast and looked back. Sunset stirred a bit before cuddling her head into her own arms. She rolled her eyes as she picked up money from the counter and opened the door. "Hey Rainbow! Get fired again?"

Rainbow laughed. "Yeah. Apparently I "wasn't doing good enough." Half the time I'm saving the city from a giant dog creatures from another world or just a drug dealer! So it's not my fault I don't show up most shifts!"

Twilight rolled her eyes. "Some people still don't believe magic exists and were going to have to deal with that." Rainbow handed her the bags and Twilight handed her $25 with a $15 tip. "Anyways, Sunset's probably starving, and you probably need to do a few more orders. Talk to you later?"

Rainbow nodded. "Got a few more deliveries to..well.. deliver and then I'm off around maybe 10? don't know. My geode will help me though, have a nice night!" She said, before speeding off down the steps and down the stairs. Twilight was smart, but she could never try an decipher Rainbow's mind.

Twilight made her way back to the sofa, where Sunset was now on her back, a weak smile plastered onto her face. Twilight gently rubbed her stomach and her smile extended more.

"Sunset," Twilight said, sitting down to the girl who was deep in bliss. "Food's here. We need to eat it before it goes cold."

She sat up and was handed her food. "Fine. You knew I liked that, didn't you?" Sunset said as the first bite was took.

Twilight stuck her tounge out. "Maybe~"

Sunset chuckled. "Little minx."


Twilight and Sunset has finished eating a while ago, and were now relaxing. Well, one of them, anyways. Sunset has fallen asleep with headphones on, and was cuddled into Twilight's chest. She heard a familiar buzz as her phone went off. Sunset stirred a bit before she cancelled it.

MISSED CALL: RAINBOW DASH.

A text came through after the she missed the call. Twilight turned off her audio and sighed.

With Sunset, magical emergency?

Yes, bad. Might end up breaking something. Hurry

Twilight sighed and looked to the weapons they had found earlier that day. "Maybe we were destined to have them. Not every bit of Equestrian magic is bad, right?"

Sunset woke up and removed the headphones from around her ears. "Magical emergency?"

Twilight nodded and showed her the texts. "Just thinking of using our weapons. Might come in use."

Sunset looked at her and nodded. "You learnt how to use a bow and arrow with AJ. I know how to do some karate and swing something. Let's go."

Twilight gave a smile before looking down and replying.

The next few minutes were full of rain and at some points, lightning. It was scary to imagine them falling off the bike at any point. Twilight felt the pressure of the quiver on her back and she held the bow around her shoulder. Sunset

Sunset pulled up nearby and as they ran to their destination, she looked to Twilight. "Fucking hell, Rainbow. Ever heard of the saying "Don't stir the beast?"

Twilight grinned in victory and stuck her tounge out. "Probably not, you know how that girl works."

"I have no clue how that girl works, and that's what scares me more... somehow."
