At exactly ten past midnight, the door to Sunset's apartment gently opened, letting a sapphire eyes look out and check that there was no one on the street. The rest of the redhead came out right after, and after silently closing the door and locking it, made her way to the sidewalk and turned right, adjusting the heavy trench coat she was wearing to cover her recognizable outfit. A pair of big dark glasses and an old fedora completed the inconspicuous disguise.
Sunset crossed the streets with a hurried stop, keeping herself under as little light as possible and double checking every car that passed by, till she eventually reached the meeting spot, an old abandoned warehouse. She climbed over some old garbage containers and opened one of the windows before jumping through it, doing a three point landing on the floor. Sunset then flicked a switch, letting the fluorescent light show the amount of random garbage and long abandoned furniture the warehouse was tasked to contain.
Sunset walked through the organized chaos till she was in front of a large wooden coffin that rested against a fridge. She then moved the coffin away, revealing a white toilet behind it which had an ominous golden glow coming from inside. the lid opened on its own, revealing a purple hand coming from its depths. Another hand came out and both grabbed the edges before a womanly figure fully clad in a ninja outfit made her way out of the porcelain throne.
Once both women were in front of each other, they quickly threw away their disguises.
"You got the stuff?" Sunset asked.
"Right here," Starlight said, showing a bag full of Delicious Joke.
Sunset smiled and pulled out her own bag full of edibles.
A few minutes later, Sunset was lounging on an old couch, resting her head on Starlight's legs while the beanie wearing pony-human petted her hair with slow strokes.
"And then Twilight came running, yelling 'Code Silver! We have a Code Silver!'" Sunset laughed again, her eyes red and a bit dilated.
Starlight giggled, not stopping her petting. "That must've been hard to deal with."
"Not really. AJ just distracted the demon with a music contests while we prepared everything to banish him back to Detrot." Sunset's happy face suddenly turned into a scowl and she opened her mouth. Starlight chuckled and pulled some more hayfries from the paper bag she brought over and fed them to the hungry pony, who munched on them while letting out happy chirps. "So, how's Queen Twily over there? Still needs to exercise her breathing?"
"No, but she's getting taller," Starlight said with a giggle that made Sunset laugh. "And also more annoying. Now that she's capable of teleporting from Canterlot to Ponyville without any effort, she's a bit overbearing with how I'm running the school, how I balance my friendship, bla bla bla."
"Bla, bla, blabla bla, babla bla!~" Sunset sang in a happy voice, making herself laugh. Starlight laughed alongside her and gifted the funny girl some more fries that she enjoyed with more chirps. "I kind of envy you on that. Ever since I graduated I haven't really had anyone to look over me."
"Sunset Shimmer doesn't like being independent?" Starlight teased, and got her nose booped for it.
"Not like that, hehehe. Just... you know... it's nice having someone that wants you to succeed and encourages it." Sunset opened her mouth again, and was given more fries.
Starlight undid a knot in Sunset's hair before continuing to pet it. "Well, if Twilight starts getting on my nerves, I'll come here and annoy the shit out of you. Asking about your career, your music, your grades. I'll even cook you dinner to make sure you're eating properly before tucking you into bed."
"And that's why you're the best!" Sunset got up and kissed Starlight on the lips, which made both of them start giggling.
Then Starlight kissed Sunset and they giggled some more.
Then they had a longer, softer kiss.
"You're quite beautiful for a pony turned human," Sunset said with a chuckle.
"We're both Equestrians, genius," Starlight pointed out as she went back to petting Sunset.
"I've spent more time as a human than a pony by this point. I've a visa and everything."
Starlight chuckled. "Fair point. But you're still a pony in my eyes."
"And you're still pretty in mine." Sunset giggled before giving her another kiss and demanding more fries. "Will you cook me Equestrian food or Human food?"
"Depends on what you use to fill your fridge." Starlight asked as she resumed her petting. "And if you let me stay the night in your bed."
Sunset cocked her head. "Won't Twilight get suspicious?"
"I'm caring less and less about that," Starlight admitted. "And don't say her name. It brings bad luck."
"Starlight Glimmer!" Both women turned their heads to look at the toilet as a purple girl wearing a school uniform despite it being years since high-school emerged from the toilet. "Did you take my Delicious Joke?!"
"Whooops," Starlight said nonchalantly as she continued petting Sunset.
"Really? That's all you've to say for yourself?" Twilight then looked at the redhead. "What about you? Anything to say in your defense?"
Sunset opened her mouth to speak. "Fries." And her wish was granted.
Twilight groaned. "I can't believe- wait, are those my fries?!"
Sunset looked at the queen, her cheeks filled with hay. "Nope."
"Alright, that's it. You're both coming with me."
"Nope," Starlight said before throwing one of the sofa cushions at Twilight and hitting the lever of the toilet.
The Princess of Friendship and Ruler of Equestria screamed as she started spinning in place before being flushed down the toilet.
"She's only going to come back more angry, you know?" Sunset said as she laughed.
Starlight held back her own chuckles so she could speak. "I know, but we still have more stuff to throw at her. Now, more petting."
"And fries!" Sunset cheered.
