A Sunshyne Love Storyby Sunset-Fluttershy-FanChaptersThe ConfessionThe ProposalAfter the Fall FormalGetting CloserA DateLast Night at Camp EverfreeChristmas EveThe WeddingEpilogueThe ConfessionThe Rainbooms had just finished practicing their new song, Shine Like Rainbows. After defeating the Dazzlings, the rest of the students at Canterlot High had forgiven Sunset Shimmer and were finally ready to give her a second chance. “That was so much fun.” Pinkie Pie said. “I know, it feels so good to pony up whenever we play.” Rainbow Dash added. “And it’s even better now that Sunset can pony up too.” Fluttershy said. Sunset blushed at the comment. Rarity walked up to Sunset and placed her hand on her shoulder. “Perhaps now would be a good time to tell Fluttershy how you feel, darling.” Rarity told her. “Really?” Sunset asked. Applejack walked up to both Rarity and Sunset. “Come on, Sunset, tell her.” Applejack said trying to boost Sunset’s confidence. Sunset gave it some thought and decided that she would finally tell Fluttershy how she felt about her. “Okay, I’ll do it. But please, give us some space.” Sunset said. “Okay, sugar cube, we’ll give you some space.” Applejack responded as she and the others walked away. Sunset felt nervous for a moment, but then took a deep breath as she walked up to Fluttershy.” “Fluttershy, can talk to you for a minute please?” Sunset asked. “Sure, Sunset.” Fluttershy said. “What is it?” “Fluttershy, you were the first real friend I’ve ever made, and I’m very grateful for that.” Sunset began. “But I see you more than just a friend.” “Huh?” Fluttershy asked. “Fluttershy, you are the most beautiful girl I’ve ever met.” Sunset continued. “Both on the inside and the outside. You have the biggest heart of anyone I know. You care a lot about animals, your friends, and anyone who needs help. What I’m trying to say is… I love you, Fluttershy.” Fluttershy gasped in shock at what she had heard. Sunset looked at Fluttershy and almost felt defeated. “Maybe I shouldn’t have said that.” Sunset said. “I‘ll just go.” Sunset turned around was about to walk away. “Sunset, wait.” Fluttershy said. Sunset turned back and saw Fluttershy had a warm smile on her face. Fluttershy then leaned in closer and kissed Sunset on the lips. Sunset was taken aback by this, but the kiss felt so magical. She then kissed Fluttershy back. After a few seconds, they broke off the kiss. “I love you too.” Fluttershy said. Sunset was shocked to hear this. That Fluttershy loved her back. “You do?” Sunset asked and then Fluttershy nodded her head in response. “During the Battle of the Bands, when you ponied up for the first time, I saw how brave you are, and it made me happy to see how much you’ve changed.” Fluttershy said. Sunset smiled and held Fluttershy in a tight hug. “This is the happiest day of my life.” Sunset said with tears of joy in her eyes. “Mine too.” Fluttershy responded as she hugged Sunset back. Unbeknownst to them, the others were watching them from a distance. “Aww, isn’t that so sweet?” Pinkie asked. “Indeed it is, Pinkie.” Rarity answered. “I just hope Sunset treats her well.” Rainbow said. “Don’t worry, Rainbow, I’m sure she will.” Applejack added. The ProposalFive years have passed and Sunset and Fluttershy are still together. At first, Fluttershy was afraid that Sunset would return to Equestria for good after graduating high school, but Sunset ensured Fluttershy that she was here to stay. After graduating college together, Fluttershy had moved in with Sunset and the two of them couldn’t be happier. Fluttershy got a job as a veterinarian and Sunset got a job as a music teacher at Canterlot High. One day, Sunset and Fluttershy were at the beach enjoying some quality time together. “I can’t believe we’ve been together for five years.” Fluttershy said. “I know. It feels like only yesterday I told you how I felt.” Sunset replied. “But actually, there’s another reason why I wanted to come out here.” “Really?” Fluttershy asked. Sunset nodded and then got down on one knee. “Fluttershy, you are truly the most wonderful person in the world, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.” Sunset said and then got out a small box with a ring inside. “What I’m trying to say is… Fluttershy, will you marry me?” Fluttershy cupped her hands over her mouth. She had tears of joy in her eyes as Sunset knelt down and showed her the ring. “Yes. Yes! A thousand times, yes!” Fluttershy exclaimed. Sunset then stood up and hugged Fluttershy tightly. “I was hoping you would say that.” Sunset said. Later that day, Sunset and Fluttershy invited their friends over to their house to share the good news. “What’s going on, girls?” Twilight asked. “We have some exciting news to tell everyone.” Sunset answered. “Sunset proposed. We’re getting married.” Fluttershy added showing everyone the ring that Sunset proposed to her with. The girls all gasped with excitement, happy for their friends’ engagement. “This is going to be the best wedding ever!” Pinkie Pie yelled with enthusiasm. “Congratulations.” Applejack said. “We’re so happy for you.” Twilight added. “Promise me that you’ll look after Fluttershy and treat her well.” Rainbow Dash told Sunset. “I Pinkie promise. Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.” Sunset said. “Rarity, I was wondering would you make my wedding dress?” Fluttershy asked Rarity. “Fluttershy, it would be an honor.” Rarity answered. “And Rainbow Dash, I would like you to be my maid of honor.” Fluttershy said. “You bet.” Rainbow Dash replied. “Twilight, will you be my maid of honor?” Sunset asked Twilight. “Absolutely, Sunset.” Twilight answered. “Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! This is going to be so exciting! I can’t wait to plan the wedding reception, bake the cake, and…” Pinkie Pie said with excitement until Applejack put her hand on Pinkie’s shoulder. “Slow down, Pinkie.” Applejack said. “They’re not getting married right away.” “I’m sorry, but you know I get so excited about big events.” Pinkie Pie said. Everyone giggled. “It’s okay, Pinkie, we’re happy that you’re excited about us getting married. We’re excited about it too.” Sunset replied. “I’m excited, but also nervous.” Fluttershy said. “Ooh, are you nervicited?” Pinkie Pie asked. “That’s not a word, Pinkie.” Applejack said. “It is to me.” Pinkie Pie replied. Everyone giggled again. Sunset and Fluttershy were engaged and their friends couldn’t be happier for them. After the Fall FormalAfter the Fall Formal had ended Sunset Shimmer walked home completely defeated. When she finally got home, she laid down on the couch and started held a pillow tight. “What if they don’t want to be my friends?” Sunset asked herself. “I wouldn’t blame them if they don’t want anything to do with me.” Sunset soon fell asleep on the couch and began to dream. She found herself in an empty void. “Hello? Is anyone there?” Sunset asked. But there was no answer. She continued to walk through the void and eventually found a mirror. It wasn’t just any mirror, however, it was the same mirror she had used to escape Equestria. “What’s this doing here?” Sunset asked looking at her reflection. “Shouldn’t this be in Equestria?” All of a sudden, Sunset’s reflection started to move and talk on its own. “Shouldn’t you be in Equestria?” The reflection asked. “What?” Sunset asked in shock. “Who are you?” “Isn’t it obvious, I’m you. Or at least who you used to be.” Sunset’s reflection said. “What are you talking about?” Sunset asked. “You ruled the school with an iron fist. You had everyone trembling in fear of your presence. You had everything you could’ve wanted, but instead you blew your chance and ended up with nothing.” Sunset’s reflection answered. “That’s not true.” Sunset said in self defense. “Twilight’s friends promised that they would teach me the magic of friendship.” Sunset’s reflection started to laugh. “Do you really think that they’re going to help you?” Sunset’s reflection said. “You’ve done nothing but bully them, lie to them, tear their friendship apart, and not to mention, you almost straight up destroyed them. What makes you think that they’d ever be willing to help you?” Sunset tried to come up with a response, but she couldn’t think of anything to say. This made her reflection laugh even more. “Can’t think of anything, can you? Exactly what I thought.” The reflection said. “There’s no use tryin to deny who you are. You can have everything again if you just embrace your dark side again.” “No, I don’t want to be that person anymore.” Sunset said. All of a sudden, Sunset’s reflection had transformed into her demon form which terrified Sunset even more. “You can be that person again and you will.” the demon said as her arms popped out of the mirror and attempted to grab Sunset. Sunset tried to run away, but the demon grabbed her by her legs and began to pull Sunset into the mirror with her. “No. No! NO!” Sunset screamed as she was pulled into the mirror by the demon. With one more scream, Sunset woke up to find herself back in her house sitting on her couch. “It was only a nightmare.” Sunset said with a bit of relief. Suddenly, Sunset heard a knock at the door. She opened it up and saw the one person she never expected to ever visit her. “Hello, Sunset.” Fluttershy said with a smile on her face. “Fluttershy? What are you doing here?” Sunset asked in confusion. She expected Fluttershy to slap her across the face or call her all the names she used to call her, but instead Fluttershy smiled at her and placed her hand on Sunset’s shoulder. “I came to check on you.” Fluttershy answered. Sunset was shocked. Out of all the girls at Canterlot High, she treated Fluttershy the worst. And yet, here she was coming over to check on Sunset out of the kindness of her heart. Sunset just hugged Fluttershy and began to cry. “What’s wrong, Sunset?” Fluttershy asked. “I’m sorry, Fluttershy.” Sunset said in between sobs. “For everything. For bullying you, lying to you, tearing your friendship with the others apart…” Fluttershy wrapped her arms around Sunset and shushed softly into her ear. “It’s okay, Sunset.” After breaking off the hug, Sunset asked Fluttershy if she could spend the night with her because she didn’t want to be alone at the moment which Fluttershy agreed to. After changing into their pajamas, Fluttershy was about to go sleep on the couch, but Sunset stopped her. “Fluttershy, wait, could you sleep in bed with me, please?” Sunset asked. “Okay.” Fluttershy said. Fluttershy joined Sunset in bed and laid down next to her. “Fluttershy, I have to ask you something.” Sunset said. “I’ve been nothing but cruel to you ever since we met. Why are you being so nice to me?” “You look like you needed it.” Fluttershy answered. Sunset smiled and hugged Fluttershy again. “Thank you.” Sunset said. “You’re welcome.” Fluttershy responded. “Fluttershy, I have to tell you something.” Sunset began. “Before you came over, I had a nightmare about that demon I turned into after I put on the crown.” “Oh my goodness. That’s horrible.” Fluttershy responded concerned for Sunset. She then held Sunset tightly. “What are you doing?” Sunset asked a little bit confused. “As a child, whenever I had a nightmare, my mother would hold me tight in her warm embrace to make me feel better.” “I do feel a little bit better.” Sunset responded. Sunset looked up at Fluttershy’s face. Her beautiful cyan eyes and kind smile made Sunset feel safe and cared for. “Are you okay?” Fluttershy asked. “I’m not sure if I can go back to sleep.” Sunset answered. “I think I might be able to help.” Fluttershy said. “How?” Sunset asked. Fluttershy took a deep breath and began to sing. Hush now, quiet now It's time to lay your sleepy head Hush now, quiet now It's time to go to bed Hush now, quiet now It's time to lay your sleepy head Hush now, quiet now It's time to go to bed Sunset listen to Fluttershy’s soothing voice. It was like a choir of angels. She began to yawn and soon fell asleep in Fluttershy’s warm embrace. “Good night, Sunset. Sweet dreams.” Fluttershy said. With that, Fluttershy soon joined Sunset in the land of sleep, and she didn’t let go of Sunset once. Author's Note This is my very first story so I apologize if it’s not very good. Getting CloserA few days have passed and Sunset Shimmer managed to make amends with the rest of Fluttershy’s friends. She helped Applejack on the farm, helped Pinkie Pie with her party planning, helped Rainbow Dash train for her upcoming sporting events, and apologized to Rarity several times for what happened at the Spring Fling. It took some time, but each of them warmed up to Sunset eventually. Although everyone else at Canterlot High didn’t truly forgive Sunset Shimmer yet, she was grateful for the girls sticking by her side. She was especially grateful for Fluttershy being the first one to reach out and help her. One day, while eating lunch in the cafeteria, the girls were all sitting at a table together. Sunset was sitting next to Fluttershy and was once again noticing how beautiful Fluttershy was. Not just on the outside but on the inside as well. Fluttershy noticed Sunset staring at her and was a little bit surprised. “Uh, Sunset is everything okay?” Fluttershy asked. Sunset brought herself back into reality and realized she was staring at Fluttershy for a long time. She tried to think of something. She then noticed that she had a few crumbs on her face. “Uh, you have a couple of crumbs on your face.” Sunset said. “I do?” Fluttershy asked and then felt her face and found crumbs. “Oh, I do.” Fluttershy grabbed a napkin and wiped the crumbs off her face. The other girls smiled as they noticed Sunset blushing. “Excuse me, everyone, I have to use the bathroom.” Fluttershy said as she left table and headed to the bathroom. Sunset just looked sheepish as Fluttershy left the table but then she noticed the other girls smiling at her. “What?” Sunset asked. “Someone’s a smitten kitten.” Rarity said. “Who? Me?” Sunset asked. “Yes, you, silly.” Pinkie Pie answered. “I’m don’t have the slightest idea what you’re talking about.” Sunset said in self defense. “Don’t lie, sugar cube. You like Fluttershy.” Applejack responded. “No, I don’t.” Sunset said trying to cover her tracks. “There’s nothing wrong with liking Fluttershy, darling. You’re allowed to like who you like.” Rarity said. “What if she doesn’t like me back?” Sunset asked. “Sure she views me as a friend, but I don’t think she’ll ever like me the way I like her.” “You’ll never know until you try.” Applejack answered. “Why don’t you give it some time first?” “Besides, I think you two would make an adorable couple.” Pinkie Pie added. “Just don’t act too mushy in front of the rest of us.” Rainbow Dash said. Sunset thought about it. If the others thought she should give it a try, maybe she should. “Okay, but I still want to wait a little bit.” Sunset responded. Fluttershy came back from the bathroom and Sunset decided to ask her a question. “Hey, Fluttershy, does the animal shelter still need any volunteers?” Sunset asked. “Yes, yes it does.” Fluttershy answered. “I was thinking maybe I could volunteer.” Sunset offered. Fluttershy’s eyes widened with excitement. “Really?” Fluttershy asked. “Absolutely.” Sunset answered. Fluttershy wrapped her arms around Sunset in a tight hug. “Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.” Fluttershy said with excitement. Sunset smiled as Fluttershy hugged her. “You’re welcome.” Sunset responded. The bell rang as lunch ended and the girls headed back to class. “I still have detention all week. How does this weekend sound?” Sunset asked. “Sounds perfect. I’ll see you there.” Fluttershy answered as she went back to class. “See you there.” Sunset said and headed back to her class as well. Author's Note I know that this chapter was pretty short. A fair word of warning, most of these chapters are going to be pretty short. A DateAfter the Friendship Games ended in a draw, and Twilight’s human counterpart transferred to Canterlot High, Sunset and Fluttershy were about to go on a date. Fluttershy was at home getting ready for her date with Sunset. She didn’t know where they were going because Sunset told her that it was a surprise. The only thing she knew was that Sunset told her to dress casual. Just then, Fluttershy heard the revving up of an engine outside. She looked out the window to see Sunset on her motorcycle. She waved to Fluttershy up in her room indicating her to come down. Fluttershy ran downstairs to join Sunset on her motorcycle. Sunset handed Fluttershy a helmet which she then put on. She wrapped her arms around Sunset and held onto her tightly. “First time on a motorcycle?” Sunset asked. Fluttershy nodded in response which made Sunset chuckle lightly. “Don’t worry, just hang on.” Sunset told her which made Fluttershy hold onto her even tighter. As they drove, Fluttershy started to feel less nervous. She began to feel the adrenaline rush of riding on the back of a motorcycle. “Woohoo.” Fluttershy said in enjoyment. Sunset laughed knowing that her girlfriend was starting to have fun. They soon arrived at their destination, Sunset stopped her motorcycle and the two of them took off their helmets. Fluttershy noticed that they were at the pirate alligator mini golf course. “Wow, I haven’t been here in a long time.” Fluttershy said. “You’ve played before?” Sunset asked. “I have, but not in a long time. My parents used to bring Zephyr and me here all the time. Zephyr used to dress up as a pirate whenever we came here.” Fluttershy answered. Sunset laughed at the idea of Zephyr Breeze dressed up as a pirate. “So, what do you say? Ready to play?” Sunset asked. “Let’s do this.” Fluttershy said with determination. Seeing Fluttershy so determined made Sunset smile. She was so happy to have Fluttershy in her life. As they began, Sunset was impressed by Fluttershy’s golfing skills. “You’ve still got it.” Sunset said. “I guess it’s like riding a bike, you never forget.” Fluttershy giggled in response. After mini golfing, Sunset and Fluttershy stopped for ice cream. Sunset decided to buy Fluttershy a large dish of ice cream. “Are you sure?” Fluttershy asked. “I don’t want you to spend too much on me.” “I want to do it.” Sunset answered. “Think of it as my way of making up for when I made you drop your ice cream from when we first met.” Fluttershy remembered that day. She then agreed. “Okay, but I can’t eat all that ice cream by myself. Why don’t we share?” Fluttershy asked. “Deal.” Sunset answered. The two of them sat down and enjoyed the ice cream together. “Mmm, this is delicious.” Fluttershy said. “And sweet, just like you.” Sunset added. Fluttershy blushed. Sunset was really trying to spoil her. “Are you trying to spoil me rotten?” Fluttershy asked. “You’re far too sweet to ever be rotten.” Sunset answered. Fluttershy blushed even more at that. After eating their ice cream, Sunset took Fluttershy home. When they arrived at Fluttershy’s house, Fluttershy got off the motorcycle and both of them took off their helmets. “Thanks for such a great date, Sunset. I had fun.” Fluttershy said. “So did I.” Sunset responded. “I’ll see you tomorrow, Shy.” Fluttershy gave Sunset a quick kiss on the cheek. “See you tomorrow, Sunny.” Fluttershy said before heading inside. Sunset smiled and then put her helmet back on before riding back home. When Fluttershy stepped inside her house, she felt her mind fill with memories of what happened on her date with Sunset. She couldn’t wait for their next date together. Last Night at Camp EverfreeAfter gaining new magical abilities, saving Camp Everfree, and rebuilding the dock… again, the girls were enjoying the rest of their week by doing normal camp activities. Thankfully, they didn’t have to deal with anymore magical mishaps. Rarity even got a second chance at her camp fashion show after the dock was rebuilt… again. This time, they made sure that Pinkie Pie didn’t have her exploding sprinkles. On the last night before having to return home, Fluttershy was out on the dock enjoying the view. Sunset found Fluttershy on the dock and walked up next to her. “Hey, Shy.” Sunset said. “Hi, Sunny.” Fluttershy replied. “Do you mind if I sit down with you with you?” Sunset asked. “Not at all.” Fluttershy answered. Sunset sat down next to Fluttershy. “It sure is beautiful out here.” Fluttershy said. “It’s nice to know that the camp will still be here.” “And it’s all thanks to that song you wrote.” Sunset said. “It was a team effort.” Fluttershy replied. “I know, but I have to give credit where it’s due.” Sunset responded. They both giggled as Sunset held Fluttershy’s hand in her own and Fluttershy rested her head on Sunset’s shoulder. “I can see why you like it out here, Fluttershy.” Sunset said. “It’s so quiet and peaceful. It’s a nice break from the noise and business of the city. “It’s even better when you get to share it with someone you really love.” Fluttershy replied. Sunset then kissed Fluttershy on the cheek which made Fluttershy blush. “It’s getting late, we should head back to our tents.” Sunset said. “Okay.” Fluttershy replied. “Good night, Sunny.” “Good night, Shy.” Sunset said as they both headed back to their respective tents. When Fluttershy got back to her tent, she soon got into bed and fell asleep. Her mind began to fill with dreams of Sunset and her together. Fluttershy found herself flying above the camp with a perfect view of everything. “It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” Fluttershy heard a familiar voice ask her a question, she then turned around to see Sunset in her daydream form from the Friendship Games. “Sunset? Is that you?” Fluttershy asked. “Yes, my love.” Sunset answered. “I wanted to give you a perfect view of the camp. Do you like it?” “I love it. Thank you.” Fluttershy said. “Take my hand and we can explore more of the forest together.” Sunset said as she offered her hand out to Fluttershy. “Okay.” Fluttershy said as she took Sunset’s hand. When she put her hand in Sunset’s, she felt magic flow into her as she transformed into a form similar to Sunset’s. “Wow.” Fluttershy said in amazement at her new form. “How do I look?” She asked. “You’re beautiful. You look like an angel of kindness.” Sunset said as Fluttershy blushed. “Thank you.” Fluttershy replied. “Come on, let’s see what there is to see.” Sunset said as the two of them flew together hand in hand taking in the natural beauty. Soon after exploring the forest, Sunset and Fluttershy flew up into the night sky together, holding hands and lovingly looking into each other’s eyes. “You’re the most beautiful person I’ve ever met.” Sunset said. “Both inside and outside.” “I’m so happy to have you as my girlfriend.” Fluttershy replied. “You’re amazing.” And then the two of them kissed under the moonlight. Needless to say, it was the most wonderful dream Fluttershy ever had. Christmas EveIt was Christmas Eve and Sunset and Fluttershy were spending it together at Sunset’s house. They were cuddled up together in a blanket on the couch watching a Yule log and listening to Christmas music on the TV. The blanket was embroidered with butterflies and suns that resemble Sunset’s cutie mark. It was a Christmas gift from Rarity to the both of them. “I love Christmas.” Fluttershy said. “Everyone is getting together with their family and friends, giving each other gifts, showing how much they care, it’s the perfect time of year to spread kindness.” “You know, Fluttershy, in a way, you kind of make every day a little bit like Christmas.” Sunset added. “What do you mean, Sunset?” Fluttershy asked. “Like you said, Christmas is the perfect time of year to spread kindness, and because you’re the embodiment of kindness, you’re also the kind of embodiment of the Christmas spirit.” Sunset answered. “Aww.” Fluttershy replied as she snuggled up closer to Sunset. Sunset smiled as her girlfriend rested her head on her shoulder. “Did I ever tell you how cute you are?” Sunset asked. “You tell me that every day.” Fluttershy answered. The two of them giggled as they continued watching the Yule log. “Sunset, do they celebrate Christmas in Equestria?” Fluttershy asked. “No, but there’s a holiday that’s sort of like Christmas.” Sunset answered. “It’s called Hearth’s Warming, while its origin is different than that of Christmas, the celebration is very similar. We give each other presents, sing songs, decorate trees, and get together with friends and family just like Christmas.” “What’s the origin story of Hearth’s Warming?” Fluttershy asked. Sunset began to tell Fluttershy the story of Hearth’s Warming. She told her about how ponies were divided by hatred, how the windigos fed off their hatred, and the how Fire of Friendship saved them from the windigos. “Wow.” Fluttershy said. “That’s a very interesting story.” “And a very important story.” Sunset replied. “It’s not only the origin of Hearth’s Warming, but also the origin of how Equestria became Equestria.” “Are there any other famous Hearth’s Warming stories?” Fluttershy asked. “Well, there’s A Hearth’s Warming Tale.” Sunset answered. “It tells the story of Snowfall Frost, a powerful but bitter unicorn who hates Hearth’s Warming and tries to erase it from existence.” “That’s a bit excessive.” Fluttershy said. “I know.” Sunset replied. “However, she’s visited by three spirits that show her the past, present, and future, and try to teach her the importance of the holiday.” “That sounds very similar to A Christmas Carol.” Fluttershy said. “Except for the part about trying to erase the holiday from existence.” “Could just be a coincidence.” Sunset said. Fluttershy yawned since it was getting late. Sunset looked at her lovingly as she yawned. She was just so adorable in Sunset’s eyes. “Aww, is my Christmas angel getting tired?” Sunset asked. “Maybe a little bit.” Fluttershy answered. “How about we each open up one present before bed?” Sunset asked. “Sure.” Fluttershy answered. Sunset grabbed two presents from underneath the Christmas tree, one for each of them. “You open up yours first.” Sunset said. “Okay.” Fluttershy replied. Fluttershy started to open her present, and found a new tambourine. “A new tambourine.” Fluttershy said. Fluttershy gave her old tambourine to the toy drive hoping that it would make a little kid happy. “Thank you so much.” Fluttershy exclaimed as she hugged Sunset tight. “You’re welcome.” Sunset responded. “Open your gift now.” Fluttershy insisted. “Okay.” Sunset said. Sunset opened up her present to find a pretty bracelet which had her cutie mark on it. “Do you like it?” Fluttershy asked. “I love it. Thanks, Fluttershy.” Sunset answered and then kissed Fluttershy on her cheek. “You’re welcome.” Fluttershy said and then yawned again. “Come on, let’s head to bed.” Sunset said. “Okay.” Fluttershy said as they went upstairs and got in bed together. Fluttershy quickly fell asleep and Sunset kissed her on the forehead. “Sweet dreams, Shy.” Sunset whispered. Before going to sleep, Sunset got out her magic book and began to write to Twilight. “Dear Princess Twilight, I hope that you’re having a good Hearth’s Warming season. I’m having an amazing Christmas season with Fluttershy. I’ve been having so much fun with her ever since we got together. We sung Christmas carols, made Christmas cookies with Pinkie Pie, and had a Christmas movie marathon. We even took a sleigh ride together through town. I’ve had so many great memories with her, I hope that we have more great memories together. Please say Happy Hearth’s Warming to Princess Celestia for me. Your friend, Sunset Shimmer” After writing her message to Twilight, Sunset laid down in bed, held Fluttershy tight, and fell asleep right beside her. The WeddingA year had passed since Sunset proposed to Fluttershy, and the day they were both waiting for had finally come. Fluttershy was wearing the wedding dress Rarity had made for her who was putting the last finishing touches on it. “I still can’t believe that today’s the day.” Fluttershy said. “It feels like only yesterday she proposed to me.” Rarity had finished putting the final touches on Fluttershy’s dress. Fluttershy looked in the mirror and smiled. “How do I look?” Fluttershy asked. “You look absolutely beautiful, darling.” Rarity answered. “I know Sunset will think the same thing.” “Thank you so much, Rarity.” Fluttershy said. “It was my pleasure, darling.” Rarity replied. Rainbow Dash entered the room reminding Fluttershy that the wedding was about start. “It’s almost time, Fluttershy. Are you ready?” Rainbow Dash asked. Rarity then handed Fluttershy her bouquet of flowers. “Yes, yes I am.” Fluttershy answered. Almost everyone Sunset and Fluttershy knew had been invited to their wedding. Fluttershy’s family, all of their friends from Canterlot High, Principal Celestia, Vice-Principal Luna, Principal Cadence from Crystal Prep, the Shadowbolts (Sugarcoat, Indigo Zap, Lemon Zest, Sunny Flare, and Sour Sweet), Gloriossa Daisy, Timber Spruce, Juniper Montage, Wallflower Blush, Vignette Valencia, even Kiwi Lollipop and Supernova Zap. Fluttershy’s dad walked her down the aisle. As they walked, Fluttershy noticed the smile on Sunset’s face. Fluttershy’s heart filled with happiness at the thought of spending the rest of her life with Sunset. Fluttershy’s dad then took his seat as Fluttershy walked up next to Sunset. The wedding officiant began to speak. “Dearly beloved, we have gathered here today to witness these two women in the bonds of holy matrimony.” Sunset and Fluttershy looked into each other’s eyes lovingly while their friends all watched with tears in their eyes. “Our dearly committed have decided to write their own vows.” The officiant said. “I love you, Fluttershy.” Sunset began as she placed one of the rings onto Fluttershy’s finger. “You were the first friend I ever truly made. You came to help me before anyone else did. You are the kindest soul in the world and I’m proud to call you mine.” Fluttershy’s eyes started to water at that beautiful sentiment. “And I love you too, Sunset.” Fluttershy said as she placed the other ring onto Sunset’s finger. “You’ve changed so much since we’ve first met. You’ve shown me just how much you could grow. You’re truly the bravest person I’ve ever met, and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.” Sunset’s eyes also started to fill up with tears. “Sunset, do you take Fluttershy as your lawfully wedded wife in, sickness and in health, for as long as you shall live?” The officiant asked Sunset. “I do.” Sunset answered. “And Fluttershy, do you take Sunset as your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, for as long as you shall live?” The officiant asked Fluttershy. “I do.” Fluttershy answered. “If anyone objects to this union, speak now or forever hold your peace.” The officiant said. The room fell silent as nobody objected. “Then by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you wife and wife. You may-“ The officiant was cut off as Sunset grabbed Fluttershy and the two of them kissed passionately. Everyone then stood up and cheered for Sunset and Fluttershy. Rarity was crying tears of joy as she pulled out a tissue and wiped the tears from her face. “This is the happiest day of my life.” Sunset exclaimed. “Mine too.” Fluttershy replied. Pinkie Pie then wrapped her arms around Sunset and Fluttershy and hugged them. “Best wedding ever!” Pinkie Pie said. Sunset and Fluttershy both giggled as Pinkie continued to hug them. Later, at the reception, everyone was having a good time. Twilight and Rainbow Dash gave amazing speeches, Pinkie Pie baked a delicious cake that everyone loved, and everyone was dancing the night away. When it was time to throw the bouquet, Rarity, Twilight, were both ready to catch it, however, Spike jumped as high as he could and caught the bouquet in his mouth. At first, Twilight and Rarity were both upset about not catching it, but then they both laughed about how funny it was how Spike caught it. By the end of the reception, Sunset and Fluttershy both drove away on Sunset’s motorcycle with a “Just Married” sign on the back. “Ready to spend the rest of our days together.” Sunset asked Fluttershy. “With you, I’m always ready.” Fluttershy answered as she wrapped her arms around Sunset. EpilogueThree years have passed since Sunset and Fluttershy got married. They had a lovely honeymoon in Hawaii. Two years after being married, they decided they wanted to have a baby. When the doctor asked which one of them wanted to carry the baby, Fluttershy offered. Sunset spent the entire nine months looking after Fluttershy and making sure she had everything she needed. Fluttershy didn’t want to bother, but Sunset insisted on taking care of her. When the time came, Fluttershy gave birth to beautiful baby girl. Sunset and Fluttershy named her Posey. The two of them adored her with all their hearts and showered her in love and affection. Now, Fluttershy was holding Posey in her arms and was tickling her tummy. “Who’s my beautiful baby girl?” Fluttershy asked lovingly. Posey just laughed as her mother kept tickling her tummy. “You are.” Fluttershy answered. Sunset came home from work. She had just finished teaching the last class of the day. “How are my two favorite girls doing?” Sunset asked. “We’re doing fine.” Fluttershy answered. “Aren’t we, Posey?” Posey just babbled and smiled at her two moms. “Aww.” Sunset said. “How was work?” Fluttershy asked. “It went well.” Sunset answered. “The students were all doing their best today. Some of them said that they hope to be great musicians someday.” “Well, with you as their teacher, I’m sure they will.” Fluttershy said. They both giggled as Sunset sat down next to Fluttershy who was still holding Posey. Posey then began to yawn. “I think somebody’s tired.” Fluttershy said. “Shall we sing her a lullaby.” Sunset asked. “We shall.” Fluttershy answered. Both of them began to sing. Hush now, quiet now It's time to lay your sleepy head Hush now, quiet now It's time to go to bed Hush now, quiet now It's time to lay your sleepy head Hush now, quiet now It's time to go to bed Posey soon fell asleep still being cradled in Fluttershy’s arms. “Isn’t she the most precious thing in the world?” Fluttershy asked. “She is.” Sunset answered. “I bet she’ll grow up to be kind and caring like you.” “But also brave and strong like you.” Fluttershy added. Sunset wrapped her arm around Fluttershy and kissed her cheek. Fluttershy then rested her head on Sunset’s shoulder. “I love you, Shy.” Sunset said. “I love you too, Sunny.” Fluttershy replied Sunset and Fluttershy were very happy together, and they’d continued to be happy for years to come. The End
The ConfessionThe Rainbooms had just finished practicing their new song, Shine Like Rainbows. After defeating the Dazzlings, the rest of the students at Canterlot High had forgiven Sunset Shimmer and were finally ready to give her a second chance. “That was so much fun.” Pinkie Pie said. “I know, it feels so good to pony up whenever we play.” Rainbow Dash added. “And it’s even better now that Sunset can pony up too.” Fluttershy said. Sunset blushed at the comment. Rarity walked up to Sunset and placed her hand on her shoulder. “Perhaps now would be a good time to tell Fluttershy how you feel, darling.” Rarity told her. “Really?” Sunset asked. Applejack walked up to both Rarity and Sunset. “Come on, Sunset, tell her.” Applejack said trying to boost Sunset’s confidence. Sunset gave it some thought and decided that she would finally tell Fluttershy how she felt about her. “Okay, I’ll do it. But please, give us some space.” Sunset said. “Okay, sugar cube, we’ll give you some space.” Applejack responded as she and the others walked away. Sunset felt nervous for a moment, but then took a deep breath as she walked up to Fluttershy.” “Fluttershy, can talk to you for a minute please?” Sunset asked. “Sure, Sunset.” Fluttershy said. “What is it?” “Fluttershy, you were the first real friend I’ve ever made, and I’m very grateful for that.” Sunset began. “But I see you more than just a friend.” “Huh?” Fluttershy asked. “Fluttershy, you are the most beautiful girl I’ve ever met.” Sunset continued. “Both on the inside and the outside. You have the biggest heart of anyone I know. You care a lot about animals, your friends, and anyone who needs help. What I’m trying to say is… I love you, Fluttershy.” Fluttershy gasped in shock at what she had heard. Sunset looked at Fluttershy and almost felt defeated. “Maybe I shouldn’t have said that.” Sunset said. “I‘ll just go.” Sunset turned around was about to walk away. “Sunset, wait.” Fluttershy said. Sunset turned back and saw Fluttershy had a warm smile on her face. Fluttershy then leaned in closer and kissed Sunset on the lips. Sunset was taken aback by this, but the kiss felt so magical. She then kissed Fluttershy back. After a few seconds, they broke off the kiss. “I love you too.” Fluttershy said. Sunset was shocked to hear this. That Fluttershy loved her back. “You do?” Sunset asked and then Fluttershy nodded her head in response. “During the Battle of the Bands, when you ponied up for the first time, I saw how brave you are, and it made me happy to see how much you’ve changed.” Fluttershy said. Sunset smiled and held Fluttershy in a tight hug. “This is the happiest day of my life.” Sunset said with tears of joy in her eyes. “Mine too.” Fluttershy responded as she hugged Sunset back. Unbeknownst to them, the others were watching them from a distance. “Aww, isn’t that so sweet?” Pinkie asked. “Indeed it is, Pinkie.” Rarity answered. “I just hope Sunset treats her well.” Rainbow said. “Don’t worry, Rainbow, I’m sure she will.” Applejack added.
The ProposalFive years have passed and Sunset and Fluttershy are still together. At first, Fluttershy was afraid that Sunset would return to Equestria for good after graduating high school, but Sunset ensured Fluttershy that she was here to stay. After graduating college together, Fluttershy had moved in with Sunset and the two of them couldn’t be happier. Fluttershy got a job as a veterinarian and Sunset got a job as a music teacher at Canterlot High. One day, Sunset and Fluttershy were at the beach enjoying some quality time together. “I can’t believe we’ve been together for five years.” Fluttershy said. “I know. It feels like only yesterday I told you how I felt.” Sunset replied. “But actually, there’s another reason why I wanted to come out here.” “Really?” Fluttershy asked. Sunset nodded and then got down on one knee. “Fluttershy, you are truly the most wonderful person in the world, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.” Sunset said and then got out a small box with a ring inside. “What I’m trying to say is… Fluttershy, will you marry me?” Fluttershy cupped her hands over her mouth. She had tears of joy in her eyes as Sunset knelt down and showed her the ring. “Yes. Yes! A thousand times, yes!” Fluttershy exclaimed. Sunset then stood up and hugged Fluttershy tightly. “I was hoping you would say that.” Sunset said. Later that day, Sunset and Fluttershy invited their friends over to their house to share the good news. “What’s going on, girls?” Twilight asked. “We have some exciting news to tell everyone.” Sunset answered. “Sunset proposed. We’re getting married.” Fluttershy added showing everyone the ring that Sunset proposed to her with. The girls all gasped with excitement, happy for their friends’ engagement. “This is going to be the best wedding ever!” Pinkie Pie yelled with enthusiasm. “Congratulations.” Applejack said. “We’re so happy for you.” Twilight added. “Promise me that you’ll look after Fluttershy and treat her well.” Rainbow Dash told Sunset. “I Pinkie promise. Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.” Sunset said. “Rarity, I was wondering would you make my wedding dress?” Fluttershy asked Rarity. “Fluttershy, it would be an honor.” Rarity answered. “And Rainbow Dash, I would like you to be my maid of honor.” Fluttershy said. “You bet.” Rainbow Dash replied. “Twilight, will you be my maid of honor?” Sunset asked Twilight. “Absolutely, Sunset.” Twilight answered. “Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! This is going to be so exciting! I can’t wait to plan the wedding reception, bake the cake, and…” Pinkie Pie said with excitement until Applejack put her hand on Pinkie’s shoulder. “Slow down, Pinkie.” Applejack said. “They’re not getting married right away.” “I’m sorry, but you know I get so excited about big events.” Pinkie Pie said. Everyone giggled. “It’s okay, Pinkie, we’re happy that you’re excited about us getting married. We’re excited about it too.” Sunset replied. “I’m excited, but also nervous.” Fluttershy said. “Ooh, are you nervicited?” Pinkie Pie asked. “That’s not a word, Pinkie.” Applejack said. “It is to me.” Pinkie Pie replied. Everyone giggled again. Sunset and Fluttershy were engaged and their friends couldn’t be happier for them.
After the Fall FormalAfter the Fall Formal had ended Sunset Shimmer walked home completely defeated. When she finally got home, she laid down on the couch and started held a pillow tight. “What if they don’t want to be my friends?” Sunset asked herself. “I wouldn’t blame them if they don’t want anything to do with me.” Sunset soon fell asleep on the couch and began to dream. She found herself in an empty void. “Hello? Is anyone there?” Sunset asked. But there was no answer. She continued to walk through the void and eventually found a mirror. It wasn’t just any mirror, however, it was the same mirror she had used to escape Equestria. “What’s this doing here?” Sunset asked looking at her reflection. “Shouldn’t this be in Equestria?” All of a sudden, Sunset’s reflection started to move and talk on its own. “Shouldn’t you be in Equestria?” The reflection asked. “What?” Sunset asked in shock. “Who are you?” “Isn’t it obvious, I’m you. Or at least who you used to be.” Sunset’s reflection said. “What are you talking about?” Sunset asked. “You ruled the school with an iron fist. You had everyone trembling in fear of your presence. You had everything you could’ve wanted, but instead you blew your chance and ended up with nothing.” Sunset’s reflection answered. “That’s not true.” Sunset said in self defense. “Twilight’s friends promised that they would teach me the magic of friendship.” Sunset’s reflection started to laugh. “Do you really think that they’re going to help you?” Sunset’s reflection said. “You’ve done nothing but bully them, lie to them, tear their friendship apart, and not to mention, you almost straight up destroyed them. What makes you think that they’d ever be willing to help you?” Sunset tried to come up with a response, but she couldn’t think of anything to say. This made her reflection laugh even more. “Can’t think of anything, can you? Exactly what I thought.” The reflection said. “There’s no use tryin to deny who you are. You can have everything again if you just embrace your dark side again.” “No, I don’t want to be that person anymore.” Sunset said. All of a sudden, Sunset’s reflection had transformed into her demon form which terrified Sunset even more. “You can be that person again and you will.” the demon said as her arms popped out of the mirror and attempted to grab Sunset. Sunset tried to run away, but the demon grabbed her by her legs and began to pull Sunset into the mirror with her. “No. No! NO!” Sunset screamed as she was pulled into the mirror by the demon. With one more scream, Sunset woke up to find herself back in her house sitting on her couch. “It was only a nightmare.” Sunset said with a bit of relief. Suddenly, Sunset heard a knock at the door. She opened it up and saw the one person she never expected to ever visit her. “Hello, Sunset.” Fluttershy said with a smile on her face. “Fluttershy? What are you doing here?” Sunset asked in confusion. She expected Fluttershy to slap her across the face or call her all the names she used to call her, but instead Fluttershy smiled at her and placed her hand on Sunset’s shoulder. “I came to check on you.” Fluttershy answered. Sunset was shocked. Out of all the girls at Canterlot High, she treated Fluttershy the worst. And yet, here she was coming over to check on Sunset out of the kindness of her heart. Sunset just hugged Fluttershy and began to cry. “What’s wrong, Sunset?” Fluttershy asked. “I’m sorry, Fluttershy.” Sunset said in between sobs. “For everything. For bullying you, lying to you, tearing your friendship with the others apart…” Fluttershy wrapped her arms around Sunset and shushed softly into her ear. “It’s okay, Sunset.” After breaking off the hug, Sunset asked Fluttershy if she could spend the night with her because she didn’t want to be alone at the moment which Fluttershy agreed to. After changing into their pajamas, Fluttershy was about to go sleep on the couch, but Sunset stopped her. “Fluttershy, wait, could you sleep in bed with me, please?” Sunset asked. “Okay.” Fluttershy said. Fluttershy joined Sunset in bed and laid down next to her. “Fluttershy, I have to ask you something.” Sunset said. “I’ve been nothing but cruel to you ever since we met. Why are you being so nice to me?” “You look like you needed it.” Fluttershy answered. Sunset smiled and hugged Fluttershy again. “Thank you.” Sunset said. “You’re welcome.” Fluttershy responded. “Fluttershy, I have to tell you something.” Sunset began. “Before you came over, I had a nightmare about that demon I turned into after I put on the crown.” “Oh my goodness. That’s horrible.” Fluttershy responded concerned for Sunset. She then held Sunset tightly. “What are you doing?” Sunset asked a little bit confused. “As a child, whenever I had a nightmare, my mother would hold me tight in her warm embrace to make me feel better.” “I do feel a little bit better.” Sunset responded. Sunset looked up at Fluttershy’s face. Her beautiful cyan eyes and kind smile made Sunset feel safe and cared for. “Are you okay?” Fluttershy asked. “I’m not sure if I can go back to sleep.” Sunset answered. “I think I might be able to help.” Fluttershy said. “How?” Sunset asked. Fluttershy took a deep breath and began to sing. Hush now, quiet now It's time to lay your sleepy head Hush now, quiet now It's time to go to bed Hush now, quiet now It's time to lay your sleepy head Hush now, quiet now It's time to go to bed Sunset listen to Fluttershy’s soothing voice. It was like a choir of angels. She began to yawn and soon fell asleep in Fluttershy’s warm embrace. “Good night, Sunset. Sweet dreams.” Fluttershy said. With that, Fluttershy soon joined Sunset in the land of sleep, and she didn’t let go of Sunset once. Author's Note This is my very first story so I apologize if it’s not very good.
Getting CloserA few days have passed and Sunset Shimmer managed to make amends with the rest of Fluttershy’s friends. She helped Applejack on the farm, helped Pinkie Pie with her party planning, helped Rainbow Dash train for her upcoming sporting events, and apologized to Rarity several times for what happened at the Spring Fling. It took some time, but each of them warmed up to Sunset eventually. Although everyone else at Canterlot High didn’t truly forgive Sunset Shimmer yet, she was grateful for the girls sticking by her side. She was especially grateful for Fluttershy being the first one to reach out and help her. One day, while eating lunch in the cafeteria, the girls were all sitting at a table together. Sunset was sitting next to Fluttershy and was once again noticing how beautiful Fluttershy was. Not just on the outside but on the inside as well. Fluttershy noticed Sunset staring at her and was a little bit surprised. “Uh, Sunset is everything okay?” Fluttershy asked. Sunset brought herself back into reality and realized she was staring at Fluttershy for a long time. She tried to think of something. She then noticed that she had a few crumbs on her face. “Uh, you have a couple of crumbs on your face.” Sunset said. “I do?” Fluttershy asked and then felt her face and found crumbs. “Oh, I do.” Fluttershy grabbed a napkin and wiped the crumbs off her face. The other girls smiled as they noticed Sunset blushing. “Excuse me, everyone, I have to use the bathroom.” Fluttershy said as she left table and headed to the bathroom. Sunset just looked sheepish as Fluttershy left the table but then she noticed the other girls smiling at her. “What?” Sunset asked. “Someone’s a smitten kitten.” Rarity said. “Who? Me?” Sunset asked. “Yes, you, silly.” Pinkie Pie answered. “I’m don’t have the slightest idea what you’re talking about.” Sunset said in self defense. “Don’t lie, sugar cube. You like Fluttershy.” Applejack responded. “No, I don’t.” Sunset said trying to cover her tracks. “There’s nothing wrong with liking Fluttershy, darling. You’re allowed to like who you like.” Rarity said. “What if she doesn’t like me back?” Sunset asked. “Sure she views me as a friend, but I don’t think she’ll ever like me the way I like her.” “You’ll never know until you try.” Applejack answered. “Why don’t you give it some time first?” “Besides, I think you two would make an adorable couple.” Pinkie Pie added. “Just don’t act too mushy in front of the rest of us.” Rainbow Dash said. Sunset thought about it. If the others thought she should give it a try, maybe she should. “Okay, but I still want to wait a little bit.” Sunset responded. Fluttershy came back from the bathroom and Sunset decided to ask her a question. “Hey, Fluttershy, does the animal shelter still need any volunteers?” Sunset asked. “Yes, yes it does.” Fluttershy answered. “I was thinking maybe I could volunteer.” Sunset offered. Fluttershy’s eyes widened with excitement. “Really?” Fluttershy asked. “Absolutely.” Sunset answered. Fluttershy wrapped her arms around Sunset in a tight hug. “Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.” Fluttershy said with excitement. Sunset smiled as Fluttershy hugged her. “You’re welcome.” Sunset responded. The bell rang as lunch ended and the girls headed back to class. “I still have detention all week. How does this weekend sound?” Sunset asked. “Sounds perfect. I’ll see you there.” Fluttershy answered as she went back to class. “See you there.” Sunset said and headed back to her class as well. Author's Note I know that this chapter was pretty short. A fair word of warning, most of these chapters are going to be pretty short.
A DateAfter the Friendship Games ended in a draw, and Twilight’s human counterpart transferred to Canterlot High, Sunset and Fluttershy were about to go on a date. Fluttershy was at home getting ready for her date with Sunset. She didn’t know where they were going because Sunset told her that it was a surprise. The only thing she knew was that Sunset told her to dress casual. Just then, Fluttershy heard the revving up of an engine outside. She looked out the window to see Sunset on her motorcycle. She waved to Fluttershy up in her room indicating her to come down. Fluttershy ran downstairs to join Sunset on her motorcycle. Sunset handed Fluttershy a helmet which she then put on. She wrapped her arms around Sunset and held onto her tightly. “First time on a motorcycle?” Sunset asked. Fluttershy nodded in response which made Sunset chuckle lightly. “Don’t worry, just hang on.” Sunset told her which made Fluttershy hold onto her even tighter. As they drove, Fluttershy started to feel less nervous. She began to feel the adrenaline rush of riding on the back of a motorcycle. “Woohoo.” Fluttershy said in enjoyment. Sunset laughed knowing that her girlfriend was starting to have fun. They soon arrived at their destination, Sunset stopped her motorcycle and the two of them took off their helmets. Fluttershy noticed that they were at the pirate alligator mini golf course. “Wow, I haven’t been here in a long time.” Fluttershy said. “You’ve played before?” Sunset asked. “I have, but not in a long time. My parents used to bring Zephyr and me here all the time. Zephyr used to dress up as a pirate whenever we came here.” Fluttershy answered. Sunset laughed at the idea of Zephyr Breeze dressed up as a pirate. “So, what do you say? Ready to play?” Sunset asked. “Let’s do this.” Fluttershy said with determination. Seeing Fluttershy so determined made Sunset smile. She was so happy to have Fluttershy in her life. As they began, Sunset was impressed by Fluttershy’s golfing skills. “You’ve still got it.” Sunset said. “I guess it’s like riding a bike, you never forget.” Fluttershy giggled in response. After mini golfing, Sunset and Fluttershy stopped for ice cream. Sunset decided to buy Fluttershy a large dish of ice cream. “Are you sure?” Fluttershy asked. “I don’t want you to spend too much on me.” “I want to do it.” Sunset answered. “Think of it as my way of making up for when I made you drop your ice cream from when we first met.” Fluttershy remembered that day. She then agreed. “Okay, but I can’t eat all that ice cream by myself. Why don’t we share?” Fluttershy asked. “Deal.” Sunset answered. The two of them sat down and enjoyed the ice cream together. “Mmm, this is delicious.” Fluttershy said. “And sweet, just like you.” Sunset added. Fluttershy blushed. Sunset was really trying to spoil her. “Are you trying to spoil me rotten?” Fluttershy asked. “You’re far too sweet to ever be rotten.” Sunset answered. Fluttershy blushed even more at that. After eating their ice cream, Sunset took Fluttershy home. When they arrived at Fluttershy’s house, Fluttershy got off the motorcycle and both of them took off their helmets. “Thanks for such a great date, Sunset. I had fun.” Fluttershy said. “So did I.” Sunset responded. “I’ll see you tomorrow, Shy.” Fluttershy gave Sunset a quick kiss on the cheek. “See you tomorrow, Sunny.” Fluttershy said before heading inside. Sunset smiled and then put her helmet back on before riding back home. When Fluttershy stepped inside her house, she felt her mind fill with memories of what happened on her date with Sunset. She couldn’t wait for their next date together.
Last Night at Camp EverfreeAfter gaining new magical abilities, saving Camp Everfree, and rebuilding the dock… again, the girls were enjoying the rest of their week by doing normal camp activities. Thankfully, they didn’t have to deal with anymore magical mishaps. Rarity even got a second chance at her camp fashion show after the dock was rebuilt… again. This time, they made sure that Pinkie Pie didn’t have her exploding sprinkles. On the last night before having to return home, Fluttershy was out on the dock enjoying the view. Sunset found Fluttershy on the dock and walked up next to her. “Hey, Shy.” Sunset said. “Hi, Sunny.” Fluttershy replied. “Do you mind if I sit down with you with you?” Sunset asked. “Not at all.” Fluttershy answered. Sunset sat down next to Fluttershy. “It sure is beautiful out here.” Fluttershy said. “It’s nice to know that the camp will still be here.” “And it’s all thanks to that song you wrote.” Sunset said. “It was a team effort.” Fluttershy replied. “I know, but I have to give credit where it’s due.” Sunset responded. They both giggled as Sunset held Fluttershy’s hand in her own and Fluttershy rested her head on Sunset’s shoulder. “I can see why you like it out here, Fluttershy.” Sunset said. “It’s so quiet and peaceful. It’s a nice break from the noise and business of the city. “It’s even better when you get to share it with someone you really love.” Fluttershy replied. Sunset then kissed Fluttershy on the cheek which made Fluttershy blush. “It’s getting late, we should head back to our tents.” Sunset said. “Okay.” Fluttershy replied. “Good night, Sunny.” “Good night, Shy.” Sunset said as they both headed back to their respective tents. When Fluttershy got back to her tent, she soon got into bed and fell asleep. Her mind began to fill with dreams of Sunset and her together. Fluttershy found herself flying above the camp with a perfect view of everything. “It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” Fluttershy heard a familiar voice ask her a question, she then turned around to see Sunset in her daydream form from the Friendship Games. “Sunset? Is that you?” Fluttershy asked. “Yes, my love.” Sunset answered. “I wanted to give you a perfect view of the camp. Do you like it?” “I love it. Thank you.” Fluttershy said. “Take my hand and we can explore more of the forest together.” Sunset said as she offered her hand out to Fluttershy. “Okay.” Fluttershy said as she took Sunset’s hand. When she put her hand in Sunset’s, she felt magic flow into her as she transformed into a form similar to Sunset’s. “Wow.” Fluttershy said in amazement at her new form. “How do I look?” She asked. “You’re beautiful. You look like an angel of kindness.” Sunset said as Fluttershy blushed. “Thank you.” Fluttershy replied. “Come on, let’s see what there is to see.” Sunset said as the two of them flew together hand in hand taking in the natural beauty. Soon after exploring the forest, Sunset and Fluttershy flew up into the night sky together, holding hands and lovingly looking into each other’s eyes. “You’re the most beautiful person I’ve ever met.” Sunset said. “Both inside and outside.” “I’m so happy to have you as my girlfriend.” Fluttershy replied. “You’re amazing.” And then the two of them kissed under the moonlight. Needless to say, it was the most wonderful dream Fluttershy ever had.
Christmas EveIt was Christmas Eve and Sunset and Fluttershy were spending it together at Sunset’s house. They were cuddled up together in a blanket on the couch watching a Yule log and listening to Christmas music on the TV. The blanket was embroidered with butterflies and suns that resemble Sunset’s cutie mark. It was a Christmas gift from Rarity to the both of them. “I love Christmas.” Fluttershy said. “Everyone is getting together with their family and friends, giving each other gifts, showing how much they care, it’s the perfect time of year to spread kindness.” “You know, Fluttershy, in a way, you kind of make every day a little bit like Christmas.” Sunset added. “What do you mean, Sunset?” Fluttershy asked. “Like you said, Christmas is the perfect time of year to spread kindness, and because you’re the embodiment of kindness, you’re also the kind of embodiment of the Christmas spirit.” Sunset answered. “Aww.” Fluttershy replied as she snuggled up closer to Sunset. Sunset smiled as her girlfriend rested her head on her shoulder. “Did I ever tell you how cute you are?” Sunset asked. “You tell me that every day.” Fluttershy answered. The two of them giggled as they continued watching the Yule log. “Sunset, do they celebrate Christmas in Equestria?” Fluttershy asked. “No, but there’s a holiday that’s sort of like Christmas.” Sunset answered. “It’s called Hearth’s Warming, while its origin is different than that of Christmas, the celebration is very similar. We give each other presents, sing songs, decorate trees, and get together with friends and family just like Christmas.” “What’s the origin story of Hearth’s Warming?” Fluttershy asked. Sunset began to tell Fluttershy the story of Hearth’s Warming. She told her about how ponies were divided by hatred, how the windigos fed off their hatred, and the how Fire of Friendship saved them from the windigos. “Wow.” Fluttershy said. “That’s a very interesting story.” “And a very important story.” Sunset replied. “It’s not only the origin of Hearth’s Warming, but also the origin of how Equestria became Equestria.” “Are there any other famous Hearth’s Warming stories?” Fluttershy asked. “Well, there’s A Hearth’s Warming Tale.” Sunset answered. “It tells the story of Snowfall Frost, a powerful but bitter unicorn who hates Hearth’s Warming and tries to erase it from existence.” “That’s a bit excessive.” Fluttershy said. “I know.” Sunset replied. “However, she’s visited by three spirits that show her the past, present, and future, and try to teach her the importance of the holiday.” “That sounds very similar to A Christmas Carol.” Fluttershy said. “Except for the part about trying to erase the holiday from existence.” “Could just be a coincidence.” Sunset said. Fluttershy yawned since it was getting late. Sunset looked at her lovingly as she yawned. She was just so adorable in Sunset’s eyes. “Aww, is my Christmas angel getting tired?” Sunset asked. “Maybe a little bit.” Fluttershy answered. “How about we each open up one present before bed?” Sunset asked. “Sure.” Fluttershy answered. Sunset grabbed two presents from underneath the Christmas tree, one for each of them. “You open up yours first.” Sunset said. “Okay.” Fluttershy replied. Fluttershy started to open her present, and found a new tambourine. “A new tambourine.” Fluttershy said. Fluttershy gave her old tambourine to the toy drive hoping that it would make a little kid happy. “Thank you so much.” Fluttershy exclaimed as she hugged Sunset tight. “You’re welcome.” Sunset responded. “Open your gift now.” Fluttershy insisted. “Okay.” Sunset said. Sunset opened up her present to find a pretty bracelet which had her cutie mark on it. “Do you like it?” Fluttershy asked. “I love it. Thanks, Fluttershy.” Sunset answered and then kissed Fluttershy on her cheek. “You’re welcome.” Fluttershy said and then yawned again. “Come on, let’s head to bed.” Sunset said. “Okay.” Fluttershy said as they went upstairs and got in bed together. Fluttershy quickly fell asleep and Sunset kissed her on the forehead. “Sweet dreams, Shy.” Sunset whispered. Before going to sleep, Sunset got out her magic book and began to write to Twilight. “Dear Princess Twilight, I hope that you’re having a good Hearth’s Warming season. I’m having an amazing Christmas season with Fluttershy. I’ve been having so much fun with her ever since we got together. We sung Christmas carols, made Christmas cookies with Pinkie Pie, and had a Christmas movie marathon. We even took a sleigh ride together through town. I’ve had so many great memories with her, I hope that we have more great memories together. Please say Happy Hearth’s Warming to Princess Celestia for me. Your friend, Sunset Shimmer” After writing her message to Twilight, Sunset laid down in bed, held Fluttershy tight, and fell asleep right beside her.
The WeddingA year had passed since Sunset proposed to Fluttershy, and the day they were both waiting for had finally come. Fluttershy was wearing the wedding dress Rarity had made for her who was putting the last finishing touches on it. “I still can’t believe that today’s the day.” Fluttershy said. “It feels like only yesterday she proposed to me.” Rarity had finished putting the final touches on Fluttershy’s dress. Fluttershy looked in the mirror and smiled. “How do I look?” Fluttershy asked. “You look absolutely beautiful, darling.” Rarity answered. “I know Sunset will think the same thing.” “Thank you so much, Rarity.” Fluttershy said. “It was my pleasure, darling.” Rarity replied. Rainbow Dash entered the room reminding Fluttershy that the wedding was about start. “It’s almost time, Fluttershy. Are you ready?” Rainbow Dash asked. Rarity then handed Fluttershy her bouquet of flowers. “Yes, yes I am.” Fluttershy answered. Almost everyone Sunset and Fluttershy knew had been invited to their wedding. Fluttershy’s family, all of their friends from Canterlot High, Principal Celestia, Vice-Principal Luna, Principal Cadence from Crystal Prep, the Shadowbolts (Sugarcoat, Indigo Zap, Lemon Zest, Sunny Flare, and Sour Sweet), Gloriossa Daisy, Timber Spruce, Juniper Montage, Wallflower Blush, Vignette Valencia, even Kiwi Lollipop and Supernova Zap. Fluttershy’s dad walked her down the aisle. As they walked, Fluttershy noticed the smile on Sunset’s face. Fluttershy’s heart filled with happiness at the thought of spending the rest of her life with Sunset. Fluttershy’s dad then took his seat as Fluttershy walked up next to Sunset. The wedding officiant began to speak. “Dearly beloved, we have gathered here today to witness these two women in the bonds of holy matrimony.” Sunset and Fluttershy looked into each other’s eyes lovingly while their friends all watched with tears in their eyes. “Our dearly committed have decided to write their own vows.” The officiant said. “I love you, Fluttershy.” Sunset began as she placed one of the rings onto Fluttershy’s finger. “You were the first friend I ever truly made. You came to help me before anyone else did. You are the kindest soul in the world and I’m proud to call you mine.” Fluttershy’s eyes started to water at that beautiful sentiment. “And I love you too, Sunset.” Fluttershy said as she placed the other ring onto Sunset’s finger. “You’ve changed so much since we’ve first met. You’ve shown me just how much you could grow. You’re truly the bravest person I’ve ever met, and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.” Sunset’s eyes also started to fill up with tears. “Sunset, do you take Fluttershy as your lawfully wedded wife in, sickness and in health, for as long as you shall live?” The officiant asked Sunset. “I do.” Sunset answered. “And Fluttershy, do you take Sunset as your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, for as long as you shall live?” The officiant asked Fluttershy. “I do.” Fluttershy answered. “If anyone objects to this union, speak now or forever hold your peace.” The officiant said. The room fell silent as nobody objected. “Then by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you wife and wife. You may-“ The officiant was cut off as Sunset grabbed Fluttershy and the two of them kissed passionately. Everyone then stood up and cheered for Sunset and Fluttershy. Rarity was crying tears of joy as she pulled out a tissue and wiped the tears from her face. “This is the happiest day of my life.” Sunset exclaimed. “Mine too.” Fluttershy replied. Pinkie Pie then wrapped her arms around Sunset and Fluttershy and hugged them. “Best wedding ever!” Pinkie Pie said. Sunset and Fluttershy both giggled as Pinkie continued to hug them. Later, at the reception, everyone was having a good time. Twilight and Rainbow Dash gave amazing speeches, Pinkie Pie baked a delicious cake that everyone loved, and everyone was dancing the night away. When it was time to throw the bouquet, Rarity, Twilight, were both ready to catch it, however, Spike jumped as high as he could and caught the bouquet in his mouth. At first, Twilight and Rarity were both upset about not catching it, but then they both laughed about how funny it was how Spike caught it. By the end of the reception, Sunset and Fluttershy both drove away on Sunset’s motorcycle with a “Just Married” sign on the back. “Ready to spend the rest of our days together.” Sunset asked Fluttershy. “With you, I’m always ready.” Fluttershy answered as she wrapped her arms around Sunset.
EpilogueThree years have passed since Sunset and Fluttershy got married. They had a lovely honeymoon in Hawaii. Two years after being married, they decided they wanted to have a baby. When the doctor asked which one of them wanted to carry the baby, Fluttershy offered. Sunset spent the entire nine months looking after Fluttershy and making sure she had everything she needed. Fluttershy didn’t want to bother, but Sunset insisted on taking care of her. When the time came, Fluttershy gave birth to beautiful baby girl. Sunset and Fluttershy named her Posey. The two of them adored her with all their hearts and showered her in love and affection. Now, Fluttershy was holding Posey in her arms and was tickling her tummy. “Who’s my beautiful baby girl?” Fluttershy asked lovingly. Posey just laughed as her mother kept tickling her tummy. “You are.” Fluttershy answered. Sunset came home from work. She had just finished teaching the last class of the day. “How are my two favorite girls doing?” Sunset asked. “We’re doing fine.” Fluttershy answered. “Aren’t we, Posey?” Posey just babbled and smiled at her two moms. “Aww.” Sunset said. “How was work?” Fluttershy asked. “It went well.” Sunset answered. “The students were all doing their best today. Some of them said that they hope to be great musicians someday.” “Well, with you as their teacher, I’m sure they will.” Fluttershy said. They both giggled as Sunset sat down next to Fluttershy who was still holding Posey. Posey then began to yawn. “I think somebody’s tired.” Fluttershy said. “Shall we sing her a lullaby.” Sunset asked. “We shall.” Fluttershy answered. Both of them began to sing. Hush now, quiet now It's time to lay your sleepy head Hush now, quiet now It's time to go to bed Hush now, quiet now It's time to lay your sleepy head Hush now, quiet now It's time to go to bed Posey soon fell asleep still being cradled in Fluttershy’s arms. “Isn’t she the most precious thing in the world?” Fluttershy asked. “She is.” Sunset answered. “I bet she’ll grow up to be kind and caring like you.” “But also brave and strong like you.” Fluttershy added. Sunset wrapped her arm around Fluttershy and kissed her cheek. Fluttershy then rested her head on Sunset’s shoulder. “I love you, Shy.” Sunset said. “I love you too, Sunny.” Fluttershy replied Sunset and Fluttershy were very happy together, and they’d continued to be happy for years to come.
