Every Dark Night Turns Into Day

Sunset

“It was kind of weird about him asking us if we knew anything,” Pinkie mused as she brushed her hair. Derpy gave Pinkie a look and grabbed my hand, squeezing it as we walked down the hall.

“It was yeah,” I shrugged in response. “It was awkward seeing him again. At least this time it didn’t involve me running away from him in skimpy clothing this time.”

“You’ve ran from the police?” Derpy asked with a frown.

“I was a prostitute Derpy,” I reminded her quietly. “If he caught me, he would have had me put me in foster care in some town far away probably. Far from my way home and you guys. Plus I was a scared kid and a tall police officer came up to me and chased me. I know Shining is cool now but I didn’t at the time. All I saw was a way to lose my freedom.”

“That makes sense,” Pinkie said as we stopped at her locker. “Wanna hang out later?”

“Yeah sure. We can go to sugarcube corner or something,” I answered as Derpy growled softly and her nails started digging into my palm.

“Hey Pinkie!” Derpy suddenly said cheerfully as she gazed at her with an unreadable expression. “Wanna know my favorite thing to do with my girlfriend?”

“Ooh a guessing game! Sleep? Play games? Go running?” Pinkie shouted out rapid fire questions.

“Those are pretty good and fun but we mainly make out,” Derpy answered as she forcibly kissed me and my eyes slightly widened as her tongue pushed into my mouth. All the conversating in the hallway stopped as they stared at us. I kissed her back before we separated and Derpy shot Pinkie a smug look when she saw how uncomfortable Pinkie looked.

“Get it Sunset!” A classmate down the hall shouted as I blushed. A few chuckles came from my classmates as they turned back to their lockers.

“Go Derpy!” Roseluck called out as Lily whistled with a grin. Daisy patted Derpy on the back with a smug wink as the three walked past. Roseluck slowed to a stop and stood at the drinking fountain. Derpy leaned closer to Pinkies ear as I watched in confusion.

“And don’t even get me started on the sex. Sunset is a goddess with her fingers and mouth. I won’t even talk about the other things she’s good at,” Derpy whispered with a wink.

“I just remembered something I forgot in the baking class!” Pinkie exclaimed nervously. “I uh gotta go!” She took off running down the hall as Derpy waved.

“What on earth was that about?” I demanded as Derpy faced me.

“I don’t like the fact she still likes you.”

“Seriously? I told you I’m not interested in her. Is that why you suddenly kissed me and told her practically everything about our sex life?” I gave her a disapproving frown which she instantly returned.

“If you’re not interested in her, then why haven’t you told her?” Derpy shot back pointedly as her frown grew. She turned around and walked away before I could reply. Roseluck glanced between the two of us.

“What?” I muttered in shock. I wasn’t expecting her to up and leave without letting me defend myself.

“I’ll talk to her,” Roseluck said casually. That was a bit surprising. The two hadn’t talked since Roseluck and her sisters believed I was guilty. “But you’d better fix this.”

She took off down the hall as I went to find Pinkie.

I finally tracked Pinkie down in the bakery class. A few other students were walking out as I glanced at Aria and Pinkie at the stove.

“How the fuck does thing work?” Aria fumed as she cast an angry glare at the stove. “Stupid damn stove.” Pinkie opened her mouth to speak but I beat her to it.

“Not that hard Aria,” I commented as they jumped. Aria gave me a look and I shivered. “Can you give me and Pinkie a minute?”

“Yeah sure,” Aria shrugged as she walked away, grumbling about the stupid stove and how Sonata was always better at cooking than her. I bit back a snicker as she sat down in the corner angrily.

“What’s up Sunny?” Pinkie asked as she put some of the pans away.

“We need to talk,” I answered a bit nervously. Pinkie was a difficult person to have awkward conversations with.

“Ooh about what?” Pinkie asked eagerly as she leaned back against the countertop.

“I know you still like me,” I sighed finally as Pinkie looked at me.

“Maybe,” she admitted and twirled her hair around her finger. “And I take you don’t like me.”

“Not like that Pinkie,” I answered and braced for either her to beat me or her to scream at me. One of the two. “We’re friends but we will never be like that.”

“Because I’m crazy?” Pinkie muttered and I got the feeling it wasn’t meant as a question.

“No. You’re not crazy first off. You’re just different. The reason is we’re better as friends and I have Derpy. What if we tried dating and it didn’t work? Then our friendship would be ruined as well,” I pointed. It felt kinda wrong using that as a way to prove my point but too late now.

“Maybe but we never know!” Pinkie exclaimed with a forced smile. “Maybe one day.”

“Pinkie,” I sighed and facepalmed. “I’m sorry. It’ll never happen.”

“Oh,” Pinkie mused as she rubbed her arm. “Did Derpy put you up to this?”

“Not really,” I admitted. I wasn’t exactly sure if that was the truth or not. “She does feel you’re trying to steal me and isn’t entirely happy I haven’t tried to shut you down at all.”

“I wouldn’t ever do something like that!” Pinkie grumbled and grabbed a hand. “I pinkie promise I wasn’t.” I quickly pulled my hand away from hers in case Derpy walked in and got the wrong idea.

“I know,” I sighed. “I know. I gotta go because mom has to take me somewhere. See you later Pinks.”

“Bye Sunny!” Pinkie called out.

I waved as I walked through the door. Hopefully Derpy wouldn’t start anything now.
