Twilight stretched out in her bed and sighed, glancing out at the sun rising. One more day till Celestia arrived. One more day till Nightmare Moon arrived and still nopony took her seriously about it. Oddly enough, the only pony who somewhat believed her was the annoying mare sitting across from her.

“Why exactly do you think this mare in the moon will somehow return tomorrow night?” Sunset asked as she stirred a spoon in her tea and she leaned back in her chair, giggling to herself as she balanced on two legs.

“You claim to have read the same books as me!” Twilight scoffed and rolled her eyes. “On the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape.”

“And do what, Smart one?” Sunset mocked with a raised eyebrow. “Make us all die because we can’t grow food? You really need to get drunk one day.”

“Can you take this seriously?” Twilight snapped and Sunset yawned.

“Sorry, I was busy thinking about better times when I was outside and not stuck inside this stuffy room with you,” Sunset commented with a bored expression. “We could be doing this outside. The whole dark and brooding atmosphere is really not you.”

“Fine. Let’s go outside then. I need to find a place to get a croissant,” Twilight grumbled and rolled out of bed, narrowly avoiding her notes scattered all through the hotel room but missed the books, slipping on one and slamming onto her back. ”Ow!”

“Are you okay?” Sunset peered down at her and was trying hard to not laugh, biting her lip hard enough to draw blood. “Pfft.”

“You’re laughing!” Twilight winced as Sunset wiped her lip with a foreleg.

“At least I asked if you were okay first. Laugh it off. Shit happens to the best of us. I fell down the stairs the other day. One time, I fell in the shower ontop of Silverspeed and we got stuck. That was an awkward one to explain to Silver Spoon why we were covered in soap and in the shower together,” Sunset commented idly as she levitated Twilight onto her hooves.

“Why were you two in the shower together?” Twilight paused as she bent over to pick up a book and Sunset grinned wickedly at her as a slow blush spread across Twilight’s face. “Oh ew!”

“Not really. You came from somewhere, after all. What, you think your parents didn’t fuck to create you?” Sunset asked with a grin. “Because I known mine did. Your parents probably enjoyed it too-”

“I so do not want to hear about my parents sex life,” Twilight interjected hastily with bright red cheeks. “The fact you can joke about this is appalling.”

“Yeah, Silverspeed said that once too,” Sunset admitted and scuffed a hoof on a piece of paper. “Now she doesn’t give a fuck. Unless she’s fucking me, of course.”

“I cannot believe I’m having this conversation right now,” Twilight grumbled and Sunset gave her an unimpressed look.

“What, is there a problem with me dating a mare?” Sunset asked and Twilight’s head jerked up as Sunset’s tone changed slightly.

“N-no of course not! I didn’t mean to imply that but well, I’m not your friend so this conversation is awkward for me,” Twilight explained hastily and continued backpedalling till her flank bumped into the wall. She had of course heard of Sunset’s rare legendary rage as had all of Canterlot. Twilight didn’t know much about her but she did know that Sunset’s anger was something she’d really not be on the receiving end of.

“Good,” Sunset said coolly and stepped back from the mare. “I’m hungry and I missed out on breakfast with my partner and Silver Spoon because I had to be interrogated by you. You’re buying.”

And with that, Sunset trotted out the room while Twilight wiped sweat away with a hoof as she sighed in relief.

And she thought her dad was scary when she got grounded.

Twilight trotted away as she and Sunset finished their breakfast, Twilight pausing to toss her cup into a trash can.

“You’re surprisingly cheap, you know that?” Twilight said as Sunset snorted.

“Not the first time I’ve heard that. Now come on, I wanna visit Watermelody. Stay behind or not, I don’t give a shit. I’m in a pretty poor mood today,” Sunset grumbled and crushed her coffee cup in her magic. “I misplaced my book earlier today so I probably missed some messages from Celestia.”

“What does that mean?” Twilight inquired as she fell into step next to Sunset, matching her pace. “Messages from the princess you mean?”

“Sure, whatever you wanna call her. I have a magical book that I can use to communicate with her anywhere, anytime. It’s nice. She is like my mom,” Sunset admitted with a fond smile. “Me and my actual mom don't see eye to eye. She never wanted a unicorn or three kids. Blaze tries hard to get her affection but it’s not easy.”

Twilight oddly felt sympathetic. She couldn’t really relate to her fellow unicorn. Her parents adored her and Shining equally. Twilight may not get along with Sunset entirely due to her constant jokes that are often borderline dirty but she didn’t think anypony should be ignored because they’re a unicorn or their parents didn’t want more kids.

“Anyway!” Sunset forced a smile on her muzzle and shook her head, her fiery red and orange mane swinging around wildly for a few seconds after she stopped. “I’m going to go see my friend. You go do whatever it is book nerds like you do. And don’t forget, you’re required to be at the party tonight. Surprise ordered it and believe, she gets what she wants. Be grateful her cousin isn’t here. Now those two together is a scary sight I’ve seen too many times. How Equestria hasn’t been eradicated due to those two, we will never know. Now bye.”

Sunset abruptly turned around and started trotting away from Twilight without another word as the mare grumbled curse words to herself.

“Talk about rude,” Twilight grumbled to her self. “Not even letting me say goodbye nor let me even ask more about this book. Why don’t I get a book? Where the hay did Spike go?”

Twilight stretched slightly and cracked her spine, groaning under her breath contently. I really need to sleep in bed more, Twilight thought to herself as she shot a glance at the sky and sighed.

Almost half a day till that stupid party downtown she had to go to. Might as well make the most of it.

By searching for Spike of course. Not entirely how she planned on spending her day but oh well.

And once she found him, she’s dragging him straight to the library, repairs done or not, she was gonna get some damn peace and quiet around here.

Name: Sunset Shimmer.

Nickname: Sunny, Sun, Shimmer, Sunshim.

Status: Alive

Age: 26.

Motto: A little laughter never hurt anypony.

Bio (From Princess Celestia's private records): Sunset is the middle child of Stormy Flare and Spring Rain. Her oldest sister is Spitfire, captain of the Wonderbolts and her youngest sister is Blaze, a corporal in the Wonderbolts. Sunset is a mostly carefree personality, opting to enjoy life and have fun than be serious, which I admire greatly. She is known to pull harmless pranks on the castle staff in an attempt to make their day better. While she is more playful, she has an anger issue and her rage is legendary in Canterlot, making most wary of her when she's angry and most try to stay out of her way when she's mad. She doesn't have a very good relationship with her mom, preferring to view me as her chosen mother(which I'm grateful for and slightly embarrassed by how affectionate she is in public) and is fiercely protective and loyal to me as well as the Crown. Currently resides in Amethyst Harbor with her marefriend, Silverspeed and the mares daughter. Later represents the Element of Laughter. She is strong with magic, as many Changelings can attest too. She shares my fondness for pranks and gets along quite well with Luna. Sunset even took a shot meant for me when Nightmare Moon returned. I'm hoping she and Twilight can teach other, Twilight with how to be more carefree and Sunset with how to be a bit more organized. I'd never tell Twilight this ever in a million years, but I am a bit more impressed with Sunset. I've known her longer after all.
All in all, I'm very proud to call her my student and adoptive daughter.

Element: Laughter.

Abilities: Sunset is a power unicorn enough to rival Twilight occasionally and can teleport long distances. She knows a plethora of spells and can use any of them for offense as well as defense. She might even rival me one day if she continues honing her abilities. I look forward to that day eagerly.

Weaknesses: Her anger is one of her main weaknesses. Some days, even I'm a bit afraid when I hear her screaming in a rage. But if you push her to that point, you deserve it. She has slightly above average strength for a unicorn and a very powerful left hook that makes even me wary about fighting her one on one.

Allies: Myself, Spitfire, Blaze, Luna, Spike, Wallflower, High Winds, Watermelody, Soarin, Misty Fly, Wave Chill, Surprise, Minuette, Lemon Hearts, Twinkleshine, Moondancer, Lyra, the rest of the Wonderbolts, Silverspeed, Silver Spoon, Trixie.

Enemies: Chrysalis, Tirek, Nightmare Moon (Formerly), Spoiled Rich, Diamond Tiara, Blue Blood, Twilight (formerly). I'd be lying if I said I didn't end up on this list occasionally when we disagree but we always make up in the end.
