A roaring stallion of a vehicle ripped through the early hours of the night, alerting the residents of the suburban neighborhood of the mechanical ride and its rider.

The short fiery mane settled above its owners shoulders as the strong wild wind settled and came to its resting point.

Sunset Shimmer tossed her new shortened locks around in an attempt to regain control of the wild short curls. Dismounting from the motorcycle, Sunset placed her black flame adorned helmet into the storage unit under the bike's seat. Looking back at the indigo two story home, Sunset emitted a sign of contentment and moved forward to her way to her lavender skinned friend's front door.

Knocking on the door, the red head tucked a bit of her short curls behind her ear, suddenly feeling nervous. ‘This is the first time I'm meeting this girl's family and I pulled up with short hair, a piercing and a bomber jacket? Is that better than leather? At least I was smart enough to change my top.’ The amber skinned teen acknowledged, looking down at what had once been her maroon sports bra that passed as a crop top to her now black sleeveless turtleneck top and keeping her jacket all the way on instead of the off the shoulder look she sported earlier in the day.

“I’ll get it!” A muffled high octave nasal voice shouted.

Sunset smirked.

As the door creaked open a purple themed young scientist appeared. She was dressed in a light blue crew neck with wide sleeves and shiny silver stars littering the top, the crew neck waistband sat on top of a dark purple box pleated skirt followed by matching light blue knee high socks with silver bows on the sides and a pair of black converse. Her indigo hair was pulled up into her usual high ponytail with bedazzled star shaped clips.

“Hey.” Sunset said, attempting to appear cool and calm.

Twilight simply stared at the warm paletted teen. Suddenly that surprise blossomed into a wide smile and sparkling purple eyes, “Holy cosmic stars! Sunny, you look amazing!” The glasses adorned girl exclaimed, reaching a hand out to the now short fiery hair.

Sunset blushed, “Thanks Sparkes, you look good yourself.”

“T-thank you.” Twilight smiled and blushed deeply, leaning her head on the door.

“Sunset Shimmer, we meet again I see.” A male voice said.

Twilight moved out of the way and the pale white blue shaggy haired man stood with his arms crossed in an attempt to look intimidating.

It didn’t work.

“Hello Officer Armour.” Sunset said cooley.

Twilight looked back and forth between the two who had greeted each other. “You two know each other?”

“Yea she was that case a couple weeks ago. Also Miss Shimmer here is a speedster with that bike of hers, you making sure to keep at the limit now right?” Shining Armour said with a brow raised and a small smirk.

Sunset gave a light blush and chuckle, rubbing the back of her next, “Heh, yes sir.”

The amber skinned girl looked back at her purple friend and noticed the complex look in her eyes. Like she didn’t like some part of the information she received and didn’t know how to approach it.

More footsteps could be heard behind the siblings as a shorter woman in a navy blue starry apron appeared, “Ah, hello! You must be the Sunset Shimmer I’ve heard so much about. You got three members of the house invested greatly in you, it’s wonderful to finally meet you. I’m Twilight Velvet but I just go by Velvet.” The purple and white striped haired woman said with a mind smile and wisdom in her eyes.

“Thanks, I appreciate you inviting me over.” Sunset bowed as she entered the home, hearing her Twilight close the door.

Just then the other three family members appeared, a familiar navy blue man, a familiar but not sentient purple and green dog and- and- ‘Holy Ponyfeathers, I should’ve known she was in this world too!’ A pretty pink woman straightened her poster after setting the last placement on the dinner table and put her delicate hands together in her front, “Hello, It’s so nice to meet you! I'm Cadence.”

Sunset began to feel a small bubble of anger build in her chest. ‘Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, that stupid little pegasus pony that had just accidentally walked into ascension.’ Jealousy ruled over the former unicorn as bad memories and feelings resurfaced. Sunset Shimmer one of the most talented unicorns to the point of being compared to Starswirl had worked her flank off to gain her wings, studied day and night, completed and mastered all her lesson within a day, had her only real mother figure stolen from her from some random pony that spouts out to steal the celestial princess away.

‘Come on Shimmer, this isn’t the same pony-person! She doesn’t know you, you don’t know her. She didn’t take away your chance to be accepted and adopted. She is just a simple mortal human living day by day.’

Sunset took a deep breath, “It’s nice to meet you too.” The teen said while faking a smile and attempting to bite back at her feelings of anger and jealousy.

Hearing footsteps tapping up to her, the red head looked in their direction to see two dark toned blues that colored the therapist and father in the home, “Hi Sunny, wow look at that do!” Night light said with wide eyes.

Sunset smirk, “Heh, Yea it was a bit unplanned.”

“Well I like it, dear.” The man said wiping his hands before retrieving the now finished and cooked off dinner.

“Thank you.” Sunset said with color forming on her face.

“Who’s ready for dinner! Tonight's cuisine consists of soft spaghetti dipped in rich tomato sauce, now there’s two choices of meat or not since, Sunset, your vegetarian correct?” Velvet informed the group.

The redhead nodded as she sat with the rest of family, on the left side of the table next to Twilight and across from Shining Armour.

***

Dinner had been quaint and light hearted with Sunset adoring the meal that burst with flavor in each bite.

The amber skinned teen tried not to giggle as she noticed her ponytailed friend beginning to buzz with excitement as time passed.

The star shower would be at its peak at nine-thirty and the anticipation to study and observe the constellations radiated from the purple teen.

Finishing the last leg of the dinner course with a chocolate chip brownie, Twilight rocketed up from the seat and grabbed onto the red and gold haired teens hand. “It’s nine! We’ll be outside!”

Bursting out the back door to the fenced in yard, a grin blossomed on Sunsets face as she brought a closed fist in front of her mouth to cover her snickering. This continued and grew into small laughs as Sunset watched her star obsessed friend scramble to ensure all of her observation equipment was ready and in perfect order.

The glasses adorned girl must have finally noticed as she turned around, placed her hands on her hips and placed a fake offended face, “Excuse me Miss Shimmer is something funny?” The indigo haired teen asked while adjusting her glasses.

“No, no, you're just cute is all.” The redhead said with a smirk after she finished a snicker.

Twilight paused as a deep blush flushed her cheeks. The lavender skinned teen straightened her poster and tapped her shoe covered toes on the ground a few rounds, “Oh, w-well thank you. Y-you too.”

Somehow her blush got deeper.

Sunset smiled, “Thanks. Is the stuff ready yet? The stars already look amazing but we got a couple minutes till it’s peak time.”

“Yes!” Twilight said enthusiastically while fanning a blanket out on the grass behind the telescope.

The two girls took their seats staring at the sky.

“Wow, it’s so amazing.” Twilight said observing the twinkling lights slowly dancing by the moon.

“Yea it is, Sparkes.” The redhead said looking over at the other girl.

Their eyes met as Twilight grew giddy for spotting a constellation, “Look!,” she said looking back up to the sky and pointing out a triangular constellation, “That is Vega and Altair! They're known as the two lovers in the sky.”

“That’s really amazing, Sparkes.”

“Oh and there we have Ursa Major! On the left over here is the Pegasus!”

Sunset chuckled a bit at that one.

“You know someday I hope to become a star in the afterlife. To be able to be high above in the sky and watch tiny earthlings from below.” The lavender skinned girl said with a dreamy look in her eye.

“Huh, I've never thought of that. I think that'd be pretty cool.” The redhead responded.

Twilight turned to Sunset, suddenly becoming serious, “I hope you don't mind me asking but, Do you believe in an afterlife?”

Sunset thought for a moment, “I don't know, I've never really thought about it. Where I come from death is for looking upon celebrating a po- person's life and what they did, not such of this place's custom of just acknowledging their dead.”

Twilight smiled and slowly nodded, “I like that. I know there are a few cultures that prefer to celebrate life instead of crying over losing it. I think it helps keep things optimistic. I’ll have to look at the statistics later.” The indigo haired teen said, bringing hand to her chin, in thought.

The former unicorn chuckled, “You're funny, you know that?”

Blushing for the countable time that night, Twilight looked back up at the glimmering stars, “Not really but your praise means a lot.”

“Any time Sparkey.”

The next several minutes conducted of the lavender skinned girl looking at her telescope, taking pictures and taking notes on the stars. Sunset sat back using her hands to keep her up, admiring the purple toned young scientist.

A gasp broke Sunset Shimmer from her trance as Twilight looked at her and pointed to the sky. “Oh my goodness, It’s a shooting star, Sunnybun!”

“Holy Alicorn Feathers!” Sunset said with amusement.

Twilight giggled, “My stars, where do you come up with that?”

“You want the truth?” Sunset said with a knowing smirk and a raised brow challenging her stargazing companion.

“Always.” Twilight said as her curiosity had entered her decision making.

Sunset faltered from a moment. Was she really about to tell this girl such a world changing secret? Was that fair to do to Twilight? Though it's not like she can keep it a secret forever.

“Even if it's the craziest thing you've ever heard?”

“Oh, now I have to know.” Twilight said with a large smile, sitting back down next to the amber teen.

Sunset took a breath in, “I’m actually a magical talking unicorn from another world that holds a magic kingdom where the dominant species is magical talking ponies.”

At first Twilight committed a single confused blink, then she began to giggle, “Uh huh, and what's this magical kingdom called?”

“Equestria.”

“If you're from another world, how did you get here?”

“A mirror portal sitting outside CHS.”

Twilight quirked a brow, “Your answering a bit to fast. Are you writing a fantasy novel or something?”

“Nope, every word is true and my life.”

Twilight sat up straight, “So, let me get this straight, you are a magical unicorn who had taken the shape of a human and you left your horse realm to come to the human realm.”

“Pony, not horse. Horses are actually rare to come by." Sunset explained

Twilight's eyes grew, “You promise your not playing a joke on me?”

Sunset sat up to look Twilight in the eyes, “Yes, I promise.”

The violet eyes were focused on turquoise ones, looking for signs of fibbery, mischief or even insanity. The lavender skinned girl, after her scanning, she adjusted her glasses, “ You have magic?”

Sunset nodded, “Very little, especially compared to at home in Equestria.”

“Well, science has never dispelled the multiverse theory or magic.” Twilight starred off with the thought, “You really are amazing, I knew it from the first day I met you but man I didn't know you would be proving scientific theories!”

Sunset laughed, “Just dont go telling any labs. I really don't wanna end up in one.”

“Oh goodness no! I wouldn't do that to you. That being said, I would like some demonstrational tests of your magic at some time.” Twilight said.

“Sure thing.” The redhead chuckled. “You know I think you're the only person who makes me happy so often.”

Twilight blushed and leaned in a bit closer to Sunset, “You make me really happy to.”

With the crickets chirping song providing strings, the stars twinkling and the bright moon shining its radiant spotlight, the two teens leaned in closer together. Sunset watched as Twilight's eyes drifted down to her own lips. Both continued to move forward, closing the distance more and more. Stopping just shy of an inch away, both females looked into each other's eyes. Gaining permission from the other they moved in and connected.

Both females let out small sighs, moving their unified lips together for a few seconds. As they split apart, Sunset resting her forehead to Twilights, “By the way I might have a tiny crush on you.”

Twilight giggled, “I might also have a crush in you.”

Smiling wide with shared reveals the two shared another kiss, lasting a few seconds longer than their first.

The redhead rested her head on top of the indigo haired girls and the two interlocked their fingers, resting as they continued to admire the stars.
