Chapter 1: 𝕊𝕖𝕔𝕣𝕖𝕥𝕤

Third person POV:

Sunset's apartment:
Friday, 7:59am

Sunset was sound asleep while Twilight was preparing their lunches for school, they had a sleepover the night before.

The sun was shining, birds were chirping, clouds sliding across the blue morning sky, there was a cool and gentle breeze-
"GAH!" Sunset shouted when she fell from her bed.

"Are you alright, Sunset?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah," the flame-haired girl answered. "Just another nightmare.."

"Again?" Twilight sighed. "Was it the one where you were a.. what's it called again?"

"Changeling." Sunset responded as she got up from the floor.

"Right, that.."

"I wonder when they will stop, it's been weeks! And there's no way that's normal." she complained.

"Yeah.. no, I don't think we do normal anymore, Sunset." Twilight said flatly.

"I know, but still.."

"Oh shoot" Twilight said
"Why? What is it?" Sunset asked
"It's already 8:00"
"We gotta go!"

They both quickly got dressed out of their pajamas then ran to school racing against the clock, Twilight almost tripped twice. They finally arrived.

"Time check?" Twilight asked, breathing heavily.
Sunset pulled her phone out of her pocket.

"8:18" she said, also trying to catch her breath.

"Atleast we got twelve minutes before the bell rings." Rainbow said out of nowhere, causing both Twilight and Sunset to jump.

"AHH!"

"Jeez! Don't scare us like that!" Sunset told her.

"We best get goin', we need those twelve minutes to get to class." Applejack reminded.

"Okay, just.. let us catch our breathes."
Sunset said.

~•★•~

5:56pm

So they all went to their classes.
After a long school day they decided to hangout at Sunset's place. First they studied a bit just incase. And then did some of their homework. When they finished everything they needed they decided to just have a talk.

"Why am I the one having these dreams?" Sunset complained.
"I get that my power is related to minds and imagination and all, but still.."

"Perhaps we should take a break from all this magic business." Rarity said.

"Ah'll say, how bout' we all go to Sugarcube corner? We haven't been there'n a while." Applejack suggested.
They all agreed.

~•★•~

6:28pm

When they arrived Twilight couldn't help but stare at Applejack and Rarity, how she wished that she and Sunset were like that, she then passed her gaze to Sunset, her gorgeous red & yellow hair, her beautiful aquamarine eyes, she failed to notice that she had a blissful look on her own face.

"Are you alright dear?" Rarity asked Twilight.
"You seem.. erm.. zoned out?"

"W-what? N-no, It's nothing like that!"

"Ohh" Pinkie realized. "I see what's going on." she smirked,
Twilight tensed up, getting a bit red.

"What's up then?" Applejack asked.

"Yeah! Spill the beans, Pinkie!" Rainbow added.

"Well-" the pink girl was about to answer when Twilight covered her mouth.

"S-seriously girls! I-it's nothing!"
Twilight blurted out. It was a good thing that Sunset was still ordering.
"Sorry.."

She apologized. "I think I'd be more comfortable if I told you."

"Well go on then, sugarcube, we wanna know what's been 'botherin'' ya lately." Applejack said.

"Only if you're comfortable." Fluttershy added.

Twilight took a deep breath. "Well, here it goes then.." she sighed.
"I may or may not have feelings for Sunset now and I've only been 'saying' that I like Timber because I was trying to convince myself that I was straight and didn't like Sunset romantically. But.. I realized recently that these feelings shouldn't be pushed away, and I should be homest to myself.." She explained. She looked at each of her friends with a bit of a nervous expression, trying to see their reactions.

It was silent for a moment, then most of the group burst into laughter. "That's it? You had us worried there for a minute, Twi." Rainbow told her. Twilight was confused.

"It was kind of obvious darling." Rarity said. "I mean, we all saw how you acted around her. Like, how you played with your hair."

"Or how you turn red!" Pinkie added.

"It was really that obvious?" Twilight asked, a bit embarrassed.

"Don't ya worry, sugarcube." Applejack assured her. "Ah don't think she caught on."

"Hey girls!" Sunset greeted as she came back to the table
"Sorry I took so long, I forgot how talkative Mrs. Cake was" she said, rubbing the back of her neck.
"So what are you all talking about?"

"N-nothing!" Twilight jumped.

"We're just teasing Twi about Timber." Rainbow covered up.
Applejack elbowed Rainbow Dash on the arm. "Ow! What was that for?" she whispered to Applejack.

"Be quiet." she whispered back.

"Oh." Sunset said, slightly upset. "Okay then."

She sat down next to Twilight. In response, the nerdy girl's heart raced, her face red, she could hardly breathe properly. This didn't go unnoticed by Sunset, she put her hand over Twilight's.

"Hey" she said softly. "are you okay?" no answer. "Twi?"

Oh my gosh, she's so close I could kiss her right now!
Twilight thought.
No! Get yourself together, Sparkle!

"Twilight?" Sunset repeated.
Oh my gosh, I just realized she's holding my hand..

"Twilight." Sunset said again, this time her voice slightly stern.

"S-sorry!" Twilight said. "I-I just.. got lost in my thoughts."

"That's fine." Sunset replied.

"I do too sometimes, just making sure that you weren't overthinking little things again."

"Okay.." Twilight said.

This is my chance They both thought.
"Hey, Twilight?"
"Hey, Sunset?"
They both said in unison. They chuckled awkwardly.

"You first Twi." Sunset offered.
"Nevermind, it's not that important. You just tell me instead." she replied.

"Alright, if you insist." Sunset agreed. "Twilight, I-"

"Oh my gosh!" Rarity squealed.

"You okay, Rares?" Applejack asked.

"I- uhmm... well.. we forgot about the.. umm... Winter ball! Yeah.. the winter ball!" She said unconvincingly.

"Oh yeah!" Pinkie added. "Or who we would go with."

"I think that can wait 'til tomorrow. It's getting kinda late. Plus, there's still like a whole week before that." Rainbow replied.

"How about a slumber party at my place?" Pinkie suggested.
Everyone agreed.

They finished eating then got home to prepare for the sleepover.
Well better luck next time, I guess..
Sunset thought, disappointed in herself.

~•★•~

Around two hours later..
At Pinkie's place:

The girls were giving Twilight tips on how to tell Sunset about her feelings.

"I appreciate the help, girls," Twilight thanked them. "but I still don't know if I'm ready to tell her yet.." she admitted.

"That's fine." Rainbow told her.

The sun dipped below the horizon, Fluttershy and Sunset finally showed up a while after that.

"Let's get this party started!" Pinkie yelled excitedly.

"You girls go ahead." Sunset said.
"I'm just gonna talk to Twilight, if that's okay with her."

"O-oh, I don't mind."
Twilight replied, slightly nervous.

They both decided to sit by the balcony while the others played Truth or Dare.

The sky was a mix of midnight blue and warm orange with flat clouds separating the two colors.

"Twilight." Sunset said.

"Yes?" she asked.

"I-" Sunset was cut off by her thoughts.
I can't do this, not yet.

"Hm?" Twilight asked.

"I uh.. about how you were at Sugarcube corner earlier, before I came to the table."

"Y-yeah?" she said as her cheeks flushed a shade of pink.

"Yes, I did, are you alright? Do you feel okay?"

"No.. I'm f-fine.."

Sunset put her hand to Twilight's cheek, which caused her to jump a little. Her face was red.

"Are you sure? You're burning up." Sunset said with a worried look on her face.

Twilight blushed even more.
"I- N-no.. I-I'm fine.."

"Alright, if you say so.."
She's adorable..I love teasing her like this
"Let's go, they're probably waiting for us." Sunset said.

"S-sure.."

~•★•~

8:33pm

They walked back into the bedroom together.

"You girls are just in time!" Pinkie said.

"We're just about to play something." Fluttershy explained.

Sunset and Twilight joined the circle, sitting down, they sat opposing each other.

On the left of Sunset was Rainbow Dash, then Rarity, then Pinkie Pie, Twilight, Fluttershy, then finally Applejack was on the right of her.

"So, what do we play?" Pinkie asked.

"Spin the bottle" Rainbow said.
They all stared at her.

"What? Would you rather play Rarity's game of seven minutes in heaven?"

"Why not T or D?" Sunset suggested.

"Ehh.. it gets boring quick. Plus, we just played that." Rainbow answered.

"Fair enough, but how about Never-Have-I-Ever?"

"Deal, but we need a bottle because we're still gonna play that later"

"Fine" Sunset agreed.

Pinkie pulled out a green glass bottle from her hair.
"What? Never know when you might need a bottle" she said.

Fluttershy was the first to ask a question.
"Umm.. Never have I ever read someone's diary."

Pinkie, Rainbow, Applejack, and surprisingly Rarity put their fingers down.

"Applejack's diary" "Scootaloo's and Aj's" "Applebloom's" "Sweetie Belle's"
They all said correspondingly.

"Makes sense" Twilight shrugged.

"Why are y'all so interested in mah diary?" Applejack joked.

"Anyways, Never have Ah ever.. walked in on someone changin'."

She smirked.

Rarity, Sunset, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight lowered their fingers.

"Sweetie Belle forgets to lock the door.. and that one incident..." Rarity explained.

"I shouldn't say anything." Rainbow said. "I pinky swore to them that I wouldn't say anything about that.." she looked over to Fluttershy who was giving her a death stare.

Sunset and Twilight stayed silent, their faces both red, looking down on the floor.

"I don't think we need an explanation" Pinkie chuckled.

"Shut up." Sunset and Twilight both said, glaring at Pinkie.

"Woah, calm down. I just came up with a question." Pinkie told them. "Never-Have-I-Ever rejected someone."

Of course, Rarity, Sunset, and Ranbow put their fingers down, after all, Rarity's beautiful, Sunset's hot, and Rainbow had to deal with Zephyr on multiple occasions. But what shocked everyone the most was Twilight putting her finger down.

"Omg! Who was it?!" Pinkie asked.
"It was two people actually.." Twilight chuckled.
"First it was Flash Sentry, of course, then it was.." she trailed off.

"Whoo?" Pinkie asked again.

"Just tell us already." Rainbow said impatiently.

"..Timber Spruce..." Twilight managed to say, her voice barely above a whisper.

"WAIT WHAT?!" Sunset yelled. "I thought you liked him?" she calmed down a bit.

"That's not even the worse part," Twilight said.
"it was through text."

"DAMN." Rainbow yelled, "That's gotta hurt."
Applejack slapped her head from behind.

"Ow! What was that for?".

"Wait, why did you reject him?"
Sunset asked.

"I said I didn't want to tell him.. but I had to." Twilight replied.

"Tell him what? You never said anything."

"Oh, right.." Twilight mumbled.

Wait.. does she like someone else then?
Sunset thought.

They finished Never-Have-I-Ever and unsurprisingly, Fluttershy won, being the shy one and all. They also found out some interesting secrets...

"Now we can play Spin the bottle." said Rarity.

"I honestly forgot about that." Sunset said.

"I have a feeling that this is something we all wouldn't forget.."
Twilight said, they all laughed.

"Alright, I'm going first." said Rainbow

"Wait a sec." Sunset interrupted.

"How about to make this more interesting, before we spin the bottle we have to choose to kiss their cheek or lips, and if you choose cheek, you have to give a hint about who you currently like until we all know. And after we all get an idea of who they might be, we will say their name and you have to confirm who's right or wrong, if we get it wrong, we get a whipped cream slap to the face. And everyone who got it right has to slap you with whipped cream." Sunset smirked.

"That sounds fun!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"Easy for you to say" Rainbow grumbled.

"So.. who's going first?" Twilight asked.

"Ah'll go, why not?" Applejack answered. Rainbow gave her a side eye.

"So which one will you choose, Applejack?" Fluttershy asked.

"Ah'm no fool, Ah choose cheek."

"Well we wouldn't want to start the game like that I guess." Rainbow said.

Applejack spun the bottle and waited for it to stop. Unfortunately, with her strength even if she wasn't using her power was strong so it spun for a solid minute. When it finally stopped it pointed to Fluttershy. Applejack did a quick friendly kiss on the cheek.

"Alright, what's the hint?" Rainbow asked impatiently.

"Well, they're a girl." Applejack answered.

"Bruh." Rainbow said.
"We know that already! You're lesbian." she complained.

"So are you, and a hint's a hint." Applejack said crossing her arms, she smirked.

"Technically, that counts" said Twilight.

"Oh come on, Twilight! It doesn't count and you know it!" Rainbow exclaimed.

"We can't have a break from Aj and Rd arguing, can we?" Sunset complained.

"I'm afraid not." Rarity answered.

"Lets just continue the game," Sunset said.

"It's your turn right Fluttershy?" She asked.

"Yes." Fluttershy replied.

"Oh, sorry, Flutters. You can take your turn." Rainbow apologized.

"It's okay, Dashie." Fluttershy said as she spun the bottle. "By the way I choose cheek."

~•★•~

Sunset's POV:

"Looks like someone has a soft spot." I joked.

"Oh come on, Sunshim, as if you don't have a thing for-" I cut Rainbow off by giving her a death glare.

"What was that?" Twilight asked.

"Nevermind.." Rainbow said.

Twilight raised an eyebrow.
Oh no, she's getting suspicious..
"Ohh it's nothing! Hahah.."
I laughed awkwardly, I'm pretty sure my cheeks were bright red.

The three of us returned our attention to the bottle, after a few seconds it pointed to me and Fluttershy have me a quick peck on the cheek. I glanced to Rainbow Dash and she looked pretty jealous.

"What's the hint?" She said.

"Hmm, wait let me think about it.." Fluttershy replied.
"She has a big ego."

I struggled to contain my laughter, I already knew who it was. I saw that Applejack was also trying not to laugh.

"YOU DID NOT-" I said.

"I did." Fluttershy cut me off.

"I wonder who it is." Twilight said sarcastically.

I couldn't take it anymore, I fell over laughing. Pinkie and Applejack did the same thing.

"Are you guys okay?" Rainbow asked.

"How naïve can you be?" Rarity chuckled.

"What? I don't get it. What's the joke?" Rainbow said.

I finally calmed down and sat back up, so did Applejack, Pinkie was still laughing bit, though. You can't really blame her. She's Pinkie Pie after all, she finds everything funny.

"Alright alright, it's my turn right?" I was still giggling a little.

“Yessiree!” Pinkie replied.

I spun the bottle, it went round and round for a while, until...

WAIT WHAT?! IT DIDN'T ACTUALLY-.. It actually stopped on....

Author's Note

Hey-lo! This was actually my first ever fanfiction (with some minor edits, of course), and I'm only just now putting it here on FIMfiction. This was actually originally on wattpad, but let me warn you, there's a handful of gramatical errors in that version. Also, sorry for the short chapter. But I'm hoping to be able to update soon! :twilightsheepish:
