Looping Over Feeling

Screams. Ponies galloped around in a panic.

Sunset knelt below the awning with Cadance in her hooves. She’d tried to enter a store, the door had gotten stuck and when she yanked it too hard, the icicles above… She refused to focus on that.

The owner raved about how it wasn’t his fault. That this wasn’t due to his negligence. He wasn’t to blame! It was the alicorn!

Normally, that kind of declaration would be followed by a fireball to the face, but all Sunset could do was run a hoof through Cadance’s soft mane just like how she did when they were entwined under the covers at home.

“It’s just like candy floss…” Sunset muttered softly.

She continued even as the chaos got worse around her.
