“I’m bored,” Sunset groaned. “We’ve been stuck inside for hours!” I let out a low chuckle as I kicked a ball to her and she idly kicked it back. I caught it with my wing and rolled it back and forth.

“I know. It’s super warm out side and I wanna stay here with you!” I giggled. That wasn’t a lie to be honest. I did want to stay with her. “We can cuddle in bed. High Winds, Soarin and Surprise said they will teach me how to fly tomorrow! Isn’t that exciting?”

“Sounds awesome Derpy. Why exactly are we staying inside?” She raised an eyebrow as she laid down on the floor on her back and looked at me. “Not that I don’t enjoy the time with you and mom of course but it looks like a beautiful day.”

A grey cloud filled the sky and we listened to the thunder as lightning spread across the sky. Looks like Soarin and two mares named Raindrops and Cloudkicker were doing their job we had subtly asked them to do. Thank God this world the pegasi controlled the weather. The rain storm was part of our plan to help keep her inside.

“I take back everything I just said. It’s absolutely miserable outside! Of all the days the pegasi chose to make it rain, they make it right now. And right after I opened my muzzle!” Sunset grumbled as she slid across the floor till we were staring at each other.

“You have very nice red eyes,” I mumbled. She looked at me confused.

“Uh Derpy? My eyes are cyan. Not red.”

“Oh right!” I giggled nervously. I didn’t mean to let that slip. “Must be tired and mistook your hair for your eye color.” Sunset smirked as she gave me a quick kiss.

“You should sleep then. I’ll go get you some sleeping medicine from the shop,” Sunset rolled over onto her stomach and pushed herself up.

“No!” I jumped in front of her and blocked the door. She gave a flinch and stared at me.

“What?” She asked flatly.

“I uh want you to sleep with me! Not like the way Lyra and Bon Bon do, I mean like nap! Not that I wouldn’t want to do what Lyra and Bon Bon do in the future with you but-hmph!” Sunset smirked and pressed her hoof to my mouth.

“Are you done?” She maintained her smirk. “I’m down to nap with you if that will help you. And if Mom wasn’t here asleep, we could do other stuff if you really wanted.” She winked at me and I turned a bright shade of red as she removed her hoof from my mouth.

“Oh,” I mumbled as response as we climbed into our beds we had pushed together to make one large bed.

“So,” Sunset propped her head up with a hoof. “Where’s Twilight and the others?”

“Oh uh visiting some zebra named Zecora. Something about potion learning for Apple Bloom and borrowing some books. You know Twilight. Always learning and all,” I chuckled. Sunset rolled her eyes with a laugh.

“Yeah that sounds like Twi. What ya wanna do now?”

“Uhm I don’t know.” Sunset leaned in close and smirked.

“I have a few ideas,” she purred as she pressed her muzzle to mine and kissed me. I gave a content low moan as I kissed her back eagerly as she rubbed one of my wings eagerly with a hoof.

“That was amazing,” I panted softly as she pulled back and smirked.

“I know,” she winked as I tackled her and kissed her while her eyes widened. Typically she was the aggressive one with kissing. “You’re eager today. What else are you gonna do?” She chuckled.

“Uh maybe this?” I mumbled nervously as I slid her hoof between my legs and shivered at the contact. She stared at me and kissed my nose.

“I think we should wait,” she admitted as she pulled her hoof out from between my legs and I gasped quietly at the feeling.

“Okay,” I turned slightly red. “I’m sorry for that.” Sunset rolled her eyes and pressed her muzzle against mine once again and kissed me hard.

“Don’t apologize for doing something like that. Sex is something that symbolizes trust between two. And I’m glad you trust me. I’m just not wanting to do that with my mom in the same room,” she leaned in close and pressed her muzzle against my ear. “Especially since she’s watching.” I jumped and twisted my head around and stared at Cheerilee. She was smirking with a raised eyebrow and looked away.

“I’ll act like I never saw that. Mainly because I never hope I ever see that again.”

“Sorry,” I mumbled as the door opened. Twilight stepped in and gave a grin.

“Cheerilee and Derpy? Can we talk in the library please?” She asked as she glanced at Sunset. “I’ll borrow them for a few minutes and they will come right back.”

“Yeah sure Twi. Not a problem,” Sunset waved a hoof before kissing me as I slipped out of the bed and joined the two in the hallway.

“What’s up?” I asked nervously.

“Not here,” Twilight warned as she teleported us to the library. The others looked nervous as they glanced up.

“Whatcha find?” High Winds asked curiously.

“It took us a lot of searching. There’s not many books on the amulet she’s wearing so I don’t blame Lemon Hearts or Moondancer for giving it to her.”

“And?” Minuette raised an eyebrow.

“According to Zecora, there was a zebra dictator who wanted to rule all of Zebronia. When the zebras refused to support him, he slaughtered half the population. Hence why Zecora is the only zebras I know. They are very, very rare. The only way they managed defeat Malgus was by some zebra potion. They shoved his essence in a gemstone and it disappeared after the temple holding it was raided. The gem corrupts the user. It makes the user violent and have insane bloodlust,” Twilight explained as she shut a book. “How that store owner got his hooves on it, I’ll never know. Potentially related to one of the raiders and didn’t know what he had. It needs to be returned to Zecora. It belongs to the zebras.”

“So Sunset only murdered an entire ship because of the amulet,” Equestrian Lyra commented. “How do we get it off her?”

“Easy,” Applejack grinned and held up a rope. “We tie er down.”

Sunset trotted into the library where I had asked her to meet me. The others were hidden in an invisibility spell and watching quietly.

“Hey Derpy,” Sunset greeted me eagerly. “How’s my pegasus queen?” I turned a bright shade of red.

“Me? A queen?” I squeaked. Sunset rolled her eyes and kissed me.

“Mine,” she said simply. “Where are the others?”

“Right here,” Earth Lyra commented as the spell was canceled and Applejack swung her rope above her head and grabbed Sunset’s hindlegs, yanking her on her stomach.

“Oof!” She glared at Applejack. “What the hell is the big idea?” Applejack grunted as she hogtied her legs.

“Taking that amulet off ya!” She answered. Sunset snarled as she tried to bit her.

“Why?” She demanded. “It’s mine! My property!”

“Because it’s making you go around killing!” Rainbow Dash snapped. I pressed a hoof to my mouth as Sunset struggled and glared at us all.

“I’m going to kill you all for this betrayal. Paint the walls red with your blood!” She growled. “Starting with Applejack!” I jumped in front of her.

“Derpy don’t!” Octavia shouted as I hugged Sunset.

“This isn’t you Sunset. Take it off please. For me,” I begged. “Please?” Sunset grunted as I hugged her tighter as I stared at her red furious eyes. I quickly closed my eyes as I felt one hoof wrap around me.

“Derpy? Why are you hugging me super tight like I’m going to die? And why am I tied up?” Sunset asked in confusion and I opened my eyes. Her eyes had reverted back to her blue color and the amulet was tossed aside.

“Untie her!” I demanded as Sunset groaned.

“I had the craziest dream. That I went on a murder spree and killed an entire ship of griffins and threatened to kill you all,” Sunset looked around in confusion as Moondancer removed the bindings. “Mom!” She tackled Cheerilee in a hug.

“Hey Sunny,” Cheerilee chuckled.

“I was terrified. Thought I lost ya. How did you get free? How are we back in Ponyville?” Sunset asked rapid-fire questions. “Why are three Wonderbolts here?”

“Do you not remember anything?” Earth Lyra asked curiously.

“Uh no?” Sunset scratched her head. “All I remember is you coming to get me and that’s all I remember.”

“Group meeting!” Rainbow Dash announced. “Sunset, wait right there.”

“Uh okay?” We all huddled around Rainbow Dash.

“Alright gang. She obviously thinks it was a dream. I propose we let her keep thinking that,” Rainbow whispered.

“Are ya insane?” Applejack hissed. “Lying is wrong!”

“It isn’t lying,” Earth Bon Bon admitted. “It’s just letting her think something. She murdered a lot of creatures. It’s best to let her keep think it’s a dream. It could hurt her mentally if she knew the truth. Psychological trauma and all.”

“She’s right,” Cheerilee admitted. “I’m her mother. Just let her keep thinking that. I don’t want her to have any mental breakdowns if she knows the truth.”

“I agree,” Twilight admitted. “Mental health is important.” We all sighed and nodded.

“Well that settles it,” Applejack grumbled as we looked at Sunset. Cheerilee trotted up to Sunset.

“Bon Bon and Lyra came and saved me along with the Wonderbolts and Derpy. Vinyl and Octavia stayed behind and looked for royal guards for help,” Cheerilee clarified as she and Sunset hugged. “It’s okay now. It’s all okay. It was just a bad dream.”

“I was terrified. I thought you were gonna die,” Sunset sniffed as she pressed her face into Cheerilee’s fur. Twilight quickly levitated the amulet and locked it up in a box and hid it behind the table. Cheerilee nuzzled her and squeezed her tighter.

“I’m not going anywhere.”

Author's Note

Originally it was going to end differently with a large fight. Everyone except Starlight was going to be frozen to the ground and Sunset was about to kill Rarity with her magic till Twilight told Starlight to remove Sunsets cutie mark. Dialogue went like this:

"I can't move!" Lyra grunted as I tried to move. My eyes widened with fear as Sunset was standing on top of Rarity, snarling as her horn glowed red.

"Starlight! Take her cutie mark!" Twilight shouted.

"But you said it was wrong and to never do it again!" Starlight shouted back.

"Forget what I said!"

That's all I really had tbh.
