I sat in the half full cafe, eating a daisy sandwich. Sunset had insisted we try some of this worlds food and that our bodies would change to support her worlds food. I was pleasantly surprised that it didn’t taste bad.

I feel super embarrassed about sleeping with Sunset. I may or may have a tiny school girl crush on her. Okay, correction. It’s more like an infatuation. Sure I reached out to help her and be friends only but I quickly noticed more about my unicorn friend. Her vulnerable side is absolutely adorable. She only shows it around me and her mom for some reason. Probably because she knows we are the two who won’t make fun of her for it. The others will make fun yes but only after they have helped her. Especially Lyra.

Lyra has her own way of helping people. Mainly involving dirty humor and teasing. But she also knows when to be serious and tone it down. She’s also the only one who knows I like Sunset. I had told her almost immediately one night when we had a group sleep over when all the others were asleep. To say she was excited about it was an understatement. I don’t really date often. People don’t really like me because of my eye and it makes me look different. I get called a retard all the time because of it. My group and Sunset and her mom are the only few who don’t judge me. Sunset says it makes me stand out in a good way and that being unique is a good thing.

“You’re being quiet,” Sunset looked at me. “What’s up?” Lyra smirked at me subtly as my face slightly heated up.

“Oh uh nothing!” I hastily said. “Just ya know, enjoying time with my friends and one of my friends mom!” Cheerilee smiled warmly at me and I wondered for a brief second if she knew. I may not know much about dating but I do know it’s mostly frowned upon to date friends. Lyra has been teaching me how to flirt at least. Bon Bon didn’t know why Lyra constantly insisted on flirting in front of me which I found slightly funny. Hell, Lyra sometimes flirted with me at my house to give me experience. Completely platonic mind you. Lyra may be beautiful but she’s my best friend. At first I was worried when I admitted she was beautiful and I wasn’t sure because I thought she would be mad but she quickly squished that. Friends can call friends beautiful all the time she stated firmly.

“Okay,” Sunset swallowed her last bit of her food. “I missed daisy sandwiches.”

“I remember you asking me where you could get one of these way back before the Fall Formal,” Cheerilee smirked at her over her lemonade.

“I remember that,” Sunset laughed as she waved the waiter over. “Seems like forever ago. I would like the check please. Thank you.”

“Right away miss,” the earth pony bowed slightly and trotted off.

“It’s crazy how much we settled in quickly here,” Bon Bon commented. “Thought it would be much harder than it is.”

“That’s how I felt as a human. I slept in the library for a long time,” Sunset admitted. “Then I realized I couldn’t sleep there forever so I branched to the outdoors.”

“How did no one bat an eye at you being there?” Lyra asked. Sunset gave a bitter laugh.

“You’d be surprised at how no one will look at you if you act like you’re supposed to be there. It’s easy to do,” Sunset admitted. The waiter returned with a check and he placed it down. “Hey Derpy?”

“Y-yeah Sunset?” I asked.

“Can I borrow a feather? I need to sign this and he doesn’t have a quill apparently. "

“Uh sure?” I asked curiously. I let out a quiet gasp as I felt a feather gently get plucked from one of my wings and Sunset dipped it in the ink well, signing her name. She tossed some bits on the table and we all stood up. It’s crazy how a world still uses gold and as a common currency at that.

“Thanks.”

“So where to now?” I asked. Sunset was leading us around to I assume the train station. She was helping Twilight give a lesson at a school in Canterlot tomorrow and we were going with.

“The train station. It’s a bit of a ride there,” Sunset answered as we walked past a market. A grey blur attached itself to my forelegs.

“Got ya mom!” The filly beamed up at me.

“D-Dinky?” I asked in awe, my expression matching my friends. She looked adorable as a little unicorn.

“Are you okay mom?” Dinky asked worriedly. “Are you sick again?”

“Dinky! Where did you go?” Three voices I recognized as three ponies came running up. One looked exactly like me and we stared at each other. Dinky took one look at me and bolted, hiding behind my counterpart.

“Changeling!” She screamed. What the heck was as changeling?

“I didn’t know you had a sister dear,” a scarily familiar voice looked at my double. “She’s not a changeling.”

“What? Am I not good enough for you dear?” My counterpart bumped her flank against his.

“Not what I meant!” The stallion turned red.

“I know you,” the older unicorn looked at Sunset with narrowed eyes. “You’re Sunset Shimmer. We went to school together as fillies.”

“Oh uh Amethyst. Hi,” Sunset said nervously. She took a nervous step back as my sister’s double took a step to her. “What are you-?” She was cut off by my sister hugging her.

“It’s been so long! My Celestia. Where have you been?” Amethyst grinned.

“It’s uh complicated,” Sunset answered as the separated. “This is friends from a different part of uh Equestria.”

“Fascinating,” my dad stepped to me and looked me over. “Scary how alike you guys look.”

“Hi! I’m Dinky!” My sister attached herself to me again.

“Derpy and Mr. Whooves adopted me,” Amethyst said casually. “Dinky is her biological daughter.” I almost choked on air at that and so did Lyra based on her expression.

“It’s nice meeting you all. We can’t keep Rose waiting. She gets antsy if left alone for too long,” The Equestrian version of me waved. I waved back slowly as I fell to my haunches.

“See you around,” Amethyst patted Sunset on the back as she galloped off.

“Are you okay Derpy?” Bon Bon asked me.

“In a world far far away, Dinky is my daughter, I adopted Amethyst, my father is my husband and Roseluck, one of my closest friends, is my sister in law,” I answered. “This is complicated.” Vinyl let out a chuckle.

“No kidding.”

Author's Note

Fun fact, if you rewatch Amending Fences, you can see a filly version of Amethyst Star(Derpys daughter) and a filly version of Sea Swirl during the beaker flashback scene. Which means they attend Celestias school for gifted unicorns.
