Every Dark Night Turns Into Day

Daisy

I groaned as I rolled over on the couch and pulled the pillow closer to me. I opened my eyes slowly and jumped at the face staring at me. It was practically a spitting image of Derpy.

“Hi I’m Dinky!” She chirped and stepped back. “Who are you?”

“Uhm Daisy I think? I’m just waking,” I muttered as I sat up and rubbed my eyes. “When did Derpy clone herself?”

“I’m her sister silly!” Dinky exclaimed. “Dad dropped me off to come play with Sunsets sisters.”

“Cute kid isn’t she?” Lily asked as she rolled over on the floor. “Gah! Dog!” A tiny dog started lapping at her face as she cried out.

“Princess no!” Diamond picked up the dog and scratched her ears.

“Nice cat,” Lily smiled as Diamond glared at her. “How did you forget Derpy has sisters?”

“I just woke up! And she’s never met me!”

“It’s a chihuahua! Why does everyone call it a cat?” Diamond fumed as she walked away.

I groaned and rolled back over, picking up my phone. I hate mornings. It’s literally seven am. Too early for this. Rose was snoring on the couch opposite of me with her arm half off the couch.

“Yo come look at this!” Scootaloo called out down the stairs. Rose rolled off the couch and moaned.

“What the f-” Rose muttered as Lily covered her mouth hastily with a giggle. Rose practically only cussed in the mornings.

“Get up here!” Scootaloo hissed as we shrugged and walked up their stairs. Rose dragged the blankets and grumbled incoherent words. “Look!”

I rubbed my eyes and stared into Sunsets open room that Scootaloo was pointing into. Sunset laid on her bed quietly breathing with Derpy snoring and resting her head on Sunsets chest with her hair all over the place as Scootaloo pulled her phone out with Silver Spoon.

“Hey don’t take pictures of them!” I snapped quietly. “Let them sleep, leave them be. “Lily that goes for you too!” My sister sheepishly put her phone away.

“Damn perfect bribery opportunity gone,” Scootaloo sighed sadly.

“Everyone knows they share a room together,” Diamond grumbled as she slapped Scootaloo upside her head. “Don’t know why you thought you could bribe Sunset to do your homework with it.”

“Alright everybody downstairs!” I chided and started pushing people. “Go, let them sleep. They obviously had a busy day yesterday.”

“Oh hey guys!” Derpy groaned as she stretched, walking down the stairs with Sunset. “I didn’t know you guys were still here. If I did, I’d have come down earlier.”

“It’s all good,” Rose waved a hand as she peered out the window. “You guys had a long day yesterday, especially Sunset.”

“What does that mean?” Sunset asked and raised her eyebrow as she walked into the kitchen. “Coffee?”

“No thanks,” Rose shrugged as she sat down. Miss Cheerilee had already offered us some before she left. Something about going to her sisters house about wedding preparations. I didn’t know Miss Cheerilee was getting married. “Didn’t you go to Equestria yesterday or something? I saw you walk through the portal after shoving some people through.”

“What?” Derpy asked as she spun around and faced Sunset.

“I had to go back and show some people something. I’ll tell you about it later. It was Shining Armor and Cadence,” she explained coolly as she started making coffee. “It was about Cinch.”

“We heard about that,” Lily shrugged as she placed a flower down on the window sill. She and Rose had ran out when they were sleeping to buy a few flowers. With Miss Cheerilees permission of course. “I’d say I felt bad but that’s a lie.”

“Wait why did you have to take them there?” Derpy pressed worriedly.

“What I’m about to say doesn’t leave this room. Got it?” Sunset asked and we all nodded, Pinkie promising. “He wanted to investigate it as a murder. And he wanted me for it.”

“What?” Derpy shouted as we all recoiled a bit. She could be loud when she wanted. Derpy gave Sunset a flat stare and Sunset shivered. Derpy could be scary with her glares. Lily knew that well.

“Yeah,” Sunset sighed. “When she threatened mom and my siblings, I may have threatened to knock her teeth out and rip her tongue out. And I didn’t know prisons record conversations with all visitors.”

“What!?” Derpy shouted again and sat down. “When the hell where you going to tell me they wanted to charge you with murder?”

“Soon,” Sunset admitted. “It wasn’t my best moment threatening her. I let my anger get the best of me.”

“If anyone deserved to be murdered it was her,” Lily growled as she finished with the plants.

“This is why you two are great for each other!” I exclaimed as Sunset poured herself and Derpy cups of coffee. “Sunsets fiery personality, she takes no shit for lack of better terms, she’s no saint yet always saves the day and super smart. Derpy is super smart, kind, has a super compassionate personality. You two compliment each other perfectly!”

“You two rub off on each other too!” Rose announced. “Derpy has gotten bolder and stands up for herself more. Sunset has a much stronger kind streak now than she did after the formal.”

“I got nothing to follow up with that,” Lily shrugged as Rose and I groaned. “They said everything I already had planned.”

“Gee way to contribute to the pep talk sis,” I rolled my eyes and sighed.

“What?” Lily glared at me. “I agreed with you two!”

“Are you three always like this?” Sunset asked casually as she sipped her coffee. “Where’s mom, my sisters and Dinky at by the way?”

“Yes we are,” I admitted. “Miss Cheerilee took them to your aunts house. Something about wedding plans? Since when is Miss Cheerilee getting married?” Sunset laughed as she stroked her dogs head.

“Mom isn’t getting married. Aunt Berry is getting married. Derpy, myself and the others are in it. Vinyl and Pinkie are doing Minuettes party while Lyra and I are in charge of Aunt Berry’s,” Sunset answered casually.

“Vinyl and Pinkie in charge of a party scares me,” Rose muttered under her breath.

“Ooh can we supply the flowers?” Lily asked eagerly. Sunset snickered as she and Derpy looked at each other.

“I’ll talk to my aunts about it.”
