A few days had passed since the events of the Fall Formal and things had become relatively normal... for the most part that is.

Everyone at school now learned that magic existed and that you apparently had magic as well. They also wanted to know exactly what went down between you, your friends, and Sunset Shimmer so you decided to answer that for them. One day, everyone had gathered in the gymnasium to hear what you had to say. You were very hesitant to go through with this as you were used to keeping your magic a secret for your entire life so far. With the help of your friends however, you managed the best you could and buckled down and told them everything. How you had magic since you were born, how Twilight Sparkle wasn't really your cousin, and what happened outside the school while they were all partying.

You also told them about the existence of Equestria and that Twilight and Sunset Shimmer were from there and that everyone here had a pony counterpart. You told about it's residents who were either magical talking ponies or other mythological creatures. You revealed how Twilight was an actual princess in her world and that she came here in order to retrieve her crown which was stolen by Sunset Shimmer. Everyone was very shocked by the fact that they were all in the presence of an actual princess and that another world existed.

After that is when Sunset confessed to all of the students that she was the one who did all of those terrible things to them over the years and that she wasn't bad anymore and wanted to make things right with everyone. To prove this, she did some community work around the school as well as help out some of her fellow students. Meanwhile, You and the girls upheld your promise to her by helping her to better understand friendship and what it really means to have friends.

As for you, your popularity had once again skyrocketed after they had all learned about you having magic. Although, some of your fears came true as some of the more selfish students had tried to be friends with you solely because you had magic so you could use it for their own selfish reasons to which you always turned them down. Even the girls made sure that those kinds of people never came anywhere near you. You then made it very clear to them that if they had ever tried to use you for your magic so selfishly ever again, then you would personally make them regret it. Suffice to say, it worked rather well.

You weren't the only one that got more popular though. The girls soon found themselves in the popularity spotlight as well due to their efforts at the Fall Formal with how they magically transformed and helped you take down Sunset Shimmer in her demon form.

Besides all of that, things had been rather calm lately... but that would all change soon.

You were currently hanging out with the (Hu)Mane 6 at the Sweet Shoppe just sitting and talking.

(Y/N): So, anyone got any plans for this upcoming weekend?

Rainbow Dash: Well, I was planning on going to the mall in order to get the latest Daring Do book.

Your eyes widened.

(Y/N): WAIT, WHAT?!?!

You screamed while leaning back in your seat which made you pivot back and you fell over with your legs sticking straight up.

Rarity: Darling! Are you alright?

You instantly stood back up and fixed your chair and sat down.

(Y/N): Yeah, I'm totally fine Rarity. What's this about the new Daring Do book Rainbow?

They all couldn't help but giggle a little bit at your fanboying before Rainbow responded.

Rainbow Dash: The new Daring Do book is coming out this weekend.

(Y/N): Wait, wait, wait!! You mean Daring Do and the Lost Palace of Platinum comes out this weekend?!

You asked in a surprised voice due to expecting this book for many weeks.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, it is! More specifically this Saturday. You interested?

You gave her a look that said "really?"

(Y/N): Are you kidding me?! I've been interested since it was first announced many weeks ago!

Rainbow Dash: Heh heh, well it's about to get even more awesome. From what I heard, the author of the series herself A.K. Yearling, is apparently coming to the Canterlot Mall in order to do a book signing for her latest book!

She said while excited. You stared at her for several moments before speaking.

(Y/N): T-T-The author herself is signing her latest book?!

Rainbow Dash: That's right. Hey, since you seem really eager about it, do you maybe wanna join me on Saturday to go meet her and get ourselves signed copies?

Applejack interrupted before you could answer.

Applejack: Now hold on just a minute Rainbow. I was gonna ask Y/N if he wanted to do some apple pie tastin' tomorrow for mah family's upcoming bake sale.

Pinkie Pie: Hang on, I was gonna ask Y/N if he wanted to bake some cakes with me.

Fluttershy: Umm, I was gonna ask Y/N if he wanted to join me at the animal shelter and help feed the animals.

Sunset Shimmer: I was gonna ask Y/N if he wanted to hang out with me.

Rarity: And I was going to ask Y/N if he could be a model for some of my clothing designs.

Rainbow Dash: Really Rarity? That is sooo lame.

Applejack: Yeah, I'm sure that Y/N would much rather taste some sweet apple pie.

Pinkie Pie: Why would he want a tiny little pie when he can have a whole cake?

Soon, the girls started breaking out into another argument as you rolled your eyes at it. You then brought another spark in your hand which was a little bit bigger this time and snapped your fingers creating a loud enough bang that stopped their arguing and got their attention.

(Y/N): Girls, knock it off! While I think it's flattering that you all wanna spend time with me and everything, you really don't need to argue over it. You just reunited as friends and I'd rather not go through all of that all over again.

The girls glanced at each other for a few moments while realizing that they almost starting fighting over something stupid again.

Rarity: Y/N's absolutely right. We can handle this in a mature manner. Luckily, I know just the thing to settle this dispute.

Pinkie Pie: Wet T-shirt contest?

She suggested which made all of you look at her while you were wide-eyed and blushing.

Rarity: What?! No!!

Pinkie Pie: Really? Y/N's face says otherwise.

She said while smirking. They soon turned back to you to see your face completely red before you quickly turned in your chair to face the other way.

Applejack: Ya thinkin' about us in wet T-shirts aintcha?

(Y/N): N-No! Of course not!

You said panickingly while the girls stared at you with unconvinced looks. You turned back to them.

(Y/N): W-Well... maybe. But, you can't blame me! Pinkie's the one who put it in my head!

You said while trying to get rid of your blush.

Pinkie Pie: I regret nothing!

She said while smiling and also trying to contain her giggles.

Rarity: Anyways, there's a much simpler and more DIGNIFIED way of settling this.

She glared at Pinkie when she said dignified. She then reached into her bag and pulled out a piece of paper and some scissors and started cutting up the paper.

Rainbow Dash: Um, Rarity? What's with the paper?

Rarity: Just wait.

After she was done, she had six differently shaped strips of paper and she handed them to you.

Rarity: Here is what we'll do. We each will draw a strip from Y/N and whomever gets the shortest strip wins. It's unbiased and completely fair.

The girls looked at each other and came to the conclusion that this was the most reasonable thing to do.

Sunset Shimmer: Seems fair to me.

Rainbow Dash: Fine by me.

Applejack: Me too.

Pinkie Pie: Me three.

Fluttershy: And me as well.

(Y/N): Alright then, pick your strip girls. *thinking* This seems more like random chance than anything else. But, at least they're being civil about this.

You held out the strips to the girls before they each picked one. They looked at their strip and Applejack was revealed to have selected the shortest strip.

Applejack: Yee-Haw!

She cheered. The other five girls sighed in defeat upon not being chosen.

Rarity: There we have it. Applejack wins.

Applejack: No hard feelings right y'all?

The girls decided not to be poor sports and smiled for their victorious friend.

Sunset Shimmer: No, not at all Applejack.

Pinkie Pie: You won fair and square.

Fluttershy: Congratulations Applejack.

Rainbow Dash: You might have won this time AJ, but I'm gonna win the next one.

She said while smirking.

Applejack: Until next time Rainbow, until next time.

She smirked as well.

(Y/N): Now hang on girls. I don't wanna spend my time with just one of you. I wanna spend my time with all of you.

You said which surprised them greatly.

Rarity: B-But... but darling, we wouldn't want to take your weekend away.

You shook your head.

(Y/N): You're not taking anything away Rarity. In fact, you're each actually giving me something fun to do this weekend. I was just gonna do nothing but maybe play some of my games which I can do any other day. How about this? Applejack, I'll go with you to taste test some apple pies tomorrow when we leave school.

She smiled.

Applejack: It'll sure be nice to have you there sugarcube.

She said while she wrapped an arm around your shoulder to which you slightly blushed at it. The girls couldn't help but glare with envy at her.

(Y/N): Y-Yeah... it'll be great.

You then moved her arm away while getting rid of your blush.

(Y/N): Anyways, this is what we'll do. On Saturday, Rainbow, you and I can go see A.K. Yearling at the mall to get ourselves signed copies of her latest book.

Rainbow Dash: Heh, Thanks Y/N.

(Y/N): Then after that, I'll meet up with Pinkie in order to bake some tasty treats.

Pinkie Pie: Yippee!!!

(YN): Fluttershy, would it be okay if I came to help you at the Animal Shelter on Sunday?

Fluttershy: I wouldn't mind.

She said with a small smile.

(Y/N): I'll then go see Rarity at Carousel Boutique and be her model.

She smiled.

Rarity: Very well darling.

(Y/N): Finally, I'll go and hang out with Sunset.

Sunset Shimmer: I'll be waiting.

She said with a smile.

(Y/N): Well, there we go. I'm booked. *thinking* Of course by the end of Sunday I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness... nah. I'm not that crazy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another day at CHS was finished as you were leaving the school in order to meet up with Applejack. That's when you saw her standing by the Wondercolts statue by herself before she looked in your direction and smiled once she saw you.

Applejack: Howdy, Y/N.

(Y/N): *cowboy accent* Howdy to you too, AJ.

She chuckled at that.

Applejack: That was a pretty good accent there.

You chuckled as well.

(Y/N): Thanks.

Applejack: So how've ya been sugarcube?

(Y/N): Pretty good. How about you?

Applejack: Mighty fine. Thanks for askin'. Anyways, ya ready to go?

(Y/N): Eyup.

She chuckled at your impression of Big Mac before you two started walking towards the sidewalk where you saw the rest of her family getting into their truck. Big Mac was behind the wheel while Granny Smith was in the passenger seat. Applebloom was sitting in the back seat. They soon noticed you two approaching them.

Granny Smith: Hello there Y/N. Ready to taste some delicious apple pies?

(Y/N): Sure am Granny Smith. Let's get to it.

You said in an eager voice before you and Applejack got into the truck and you drove towards their house. The Apple Family home had consisted of a big red house that kind of resembled a barn, a huge garage, a pig pen, and an apple tree out in the front yard.

You all stepped out of the truck and went inside. You, Applejack, Applebloom, and Big Mac sat at a table as Granny served you all pieces of apple pie.

Granny Smith: Alrighty, here's the first batch.

She said as you all grabbed some forks.

Applejack: Mm-mmm, smells good as always Granny.

Big Mac: Eyup.

He agreed while nodding.

(Y/N): Okay, let's have ourselves a taste shall we?

The Apple siblings nodded in agreement before picking up your forks and taking a bite out of your pieces of pie.

Applejack: Scrumdiliumptious!

Big Mac: Easily the best.

He answered before nodding.

Applebloom: Good as always!

(Y/N): I'd definitely give it a ten outta ten.

Granny Smith: Really?

Applejack: Granny, your pies are always made with love and care.

Granny Smith: Thanks Applejack.

(Y/N): I totally agree. This is easily the best pie that I've had in awhile.

Granny Smith: Why thank ya kindly Y/N. Besides Applejack with her honesty, it's always nice to hear good truthful feedback from ya.

(Y/N): What can I say? It's the honest truth. I'm sure people would line up for miles just to get a taste of these pies.

Granny Smith: That's so nice to hear. Anyways, more's coming y'all so ya better be ready for it.

She said while pulling out more apple treats for you all to taste.

(Y/N): Ready? I was born ready!

You said with enthusiasm in your voice as the others agreed.

(Timeskip)

About an hour had passed and we see you and applejack sitting down under the apple tree outside while rubbing your satisfied stomachs.

(Y/N): Man, as much as I'd like to, I don't think I can eat another bite.

Applejack: Told ya Granny's cooking was amazin'.

(Y/N): Yeah. You definitely weren't wrong about that. Hey AJ? I've been meaning to talk to you about something.

She turned her attention to you.

Applejack: Shoot.

(Y/N): Well, it's just that I haven't seen your parents yet. I was wondering if I could meet them.

Applejack's eyes widened before she frowned sadly and looked at the ground. It took you a moment to realize what this meant before your own eyes widened.

(Y/N): O-Oh... I-I am so sorry Applejack! I didn't mean to be so insensitive!

Applejack: No, no. It's alright sugarcube. Ya didn't know.

She reassured you to which you sighed in relief. You then looked back at her.

(Y/N): You don't have to answer if you don't want to... but how did they... you know.

Applejack sighed before speaking.

Applejack: Well, it happened many years back when I was just a little girl while Applebloom was only a baby. It was during winter and Ma and Pa were drivin' home during a rather dangerous snowstorm. They were drivin' down the highway before... before...

She trailed off unable to get her next set of words out. She then took a deep breath to calm herself before she continued.

Applejack: Before another driver went over a patch of black ice and swerved into them. They tried to maneuver away but it was too late for them. They... they didn't make it.

Applejack started to tear up before she started crying into her hands. You immediately scooted over and wrapped her in a hug. She cried on your shoulder as you gently rubbed her back. After many minutes of her sobbing, she managed to calm herself before you two separated.

(Y/N): I'm sorry AJ. I didn't mean to make you so sad. I'm such an idiot for bringing it up.

She shook her head.

Applejack: It's alright sugarcube. 

She then took her hat off and held it in front of herself.

Applejack: My hat... it used to belong to my Pa before... before he left. I always wear it so that I'll never forget him and Ma. I sometimes wonder... if they were still alive today... would they even be proud of me?

You placed your hand on her shoulder which made her look at you.

(Y/N): Why would you think like that? Of course they'd be proud of you. Heck, I'm proud of you.

Applejack: R-Really?

(Y/N): Absolutely. AJ, if your parents were still around, they would be incredibly astonished by just how independent, hardworking, and amazing you are. You've gotta understand that you impress me every time I see you.

Applejack: You really mean that?

(Y/N): Look in my eyes and you'll see that I'm not lying.

She did just that as she stared for a moment or two. She smiled after some time.

Applejack: Yeah. You're definitely not lyin'.

You and Applejack stared at each other for what seemed like hours just enjoying one another's company. You couldn't help but think about how much these girls have changed your life in more ways than one. That's when you started thinking about which one of the girls you would choose to date. The first candidate being Applejack. Sure, she was incredibly stubborn at times, but she was much more than that. She's strong, honest, persevering, and quite beautiful. She would definitely make a great girlfriend if you were to date her... but you still weren't sure if she was the one. There was still the other girls to take into account.

Your current train of thought was interrupted when you felt something touch your hand. You looked down to notice that Applejack had placed hers so that her fingers were slightly touching yours. You looked back up to see her smiling contently.

Applejack: I... I wanna thank ya for coming with me today Y/N. It meant a lot to not just mah family but to me as well.

You smiled back at her.

(Y/N): There's no need to thank me Applejack. I was more than willing to help.

You then checked the time on your phone.

(Y/N): Anyways, I think I should get going.

She seemed disappointed by that before throwing on a smile.

Applejack: Okay, but before you go, I wanna give ya somethin'.

(Y/N): What is it?

You asked before she did something rather unexpected. She gave you a kiss directly on the lips. Your eyes widened before you decided to deepen the kiss. She joined in as she wrapped her arms around your neck as you wrapped yours around her waist. The kiss lasted for a solid minute before you finally broke off from each other. You were rather surprised by just how forward she was being. You did know for a fact that she and the others liked you romantically but you still weren't expecting that. Applejack had a huge blush on her face before she spoke.

Applejack: T-That uh... that was... rather nice. But anyways, that was for your help today.

(Y/N): Y-Yeah... it was. Thanks for that. I'm uh... I'm gonna go now.

Applejack: R-Right. See ya later sugarcube.

She said while waving goodbye awkwardly as you teleported back to your house. As you walked back into your house, you couldn't help but think about what just happened.

(Y/N): *thinking* Man, that was... rather interesting.

(The Next Day)

It was now Saturday as you were making your way over to the mall in order to meet up with Rainbow Dash in order to get yourselves signed copies of the latest Daring Do book from A.K. Yearling herself.

After many moments you finally arrived outside the mall to see the rainbow haired girl standing out in front. She smiled upon seeing you.

(Y/N): What's up Rainbow?

Rainbow Dash: Hey Y/N. You ready to go meet A.K. Yearling?

(Y/N): Sure am... egghead.

You said in a friendly mocking tone. She rolled her eyes playfully at that.

Rainbow Dash: Oh whatever! You and I are the only exceptions.

(Y/N): Really? Why's that?

Rainbow Dash: Because we're awesome!

(Y/N): Heh heh, yeah. I guess that's true.

Rainbow Dash: Heh, so what are we waiting for by just standing out here? Let's get inside!

She said enthusiastically before quickly grabbing your wrist and jogging inside with you in tow. You ran for a few minutes before making it to the bookstore which you discovered had a long line of people outside of it.

Rainbow Dash: W-What?! Oh, come on! You've gotta be kidding me!

(Y/N): Well, dang. I guess we weren't the only ones who wanted to see A.K. Yearling.

Rainbow Dash: *groan* We should have gotten here sooner.

(Y/N): I guess it does us no good to complain about it. Let's go wait in line and hope that this goes fast and that we'll get to see A.K. Yearling soon.

Rainbow Dash: I hope so too.

With that said, you and her got in the line and waited. About half an hour had passed before you and Rainbow Dash had finally made it to the front of the line.

Bookstore Employee: Okay, you two are the last ones to meet A.K. Yearling before she leaves.

Rainbow Dash: Yes! Finally!

She said with relief in her voice.

(Y/N): Let's do this!

You said while clapping your hands together and rubbing them. The two of you stepped forward and were greeted with the author herself: A.K. Yearling, who was sitting at a desk.

Rainbow Dash: Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! It's her! It's really her! A.K. Yearling!

She said excitedly while almost jumping for joy.

(Y/N): *thinking* Huh, I never thought I'd see the day that Rainbow Dash would act like a hyper fangirl. It's... actually kinda adorable.

A.K. Yearling: Are you two the last ones?

(Y/N): That's right. So, you're the famous A.K. Yearling?

She nodded.

A.K. Yearling: You'd be correct.

Rainbow Dash: Oh my gosh! It's really you! I am such a huge fan of yours! I own every single book that you've ever written!

She shouted in an excited voice when she went up to her.

(Y/N): Woah, woah, woah Rainbow! Heel! Heel!

You said before you pulled her back and turned back to Ms. Yearling.

(Y/N): I'm so sorry about her. She's just a really big fan of your work.

She chuckled at that.

A.K. Yearling: No worries. I usually get a lot of fans like her so it's nothing new to me.

She then reached under her desk and pulled out a copy of her latest book. She then took out a pen and signed her initials on the first page. She then closed the book and handed it to you.

A.K. Yearling: There you go. The latest adventure in the Daring Do storyline: Daring Do and the Lost Palace of Platinum.

You smiled while staring at your copy before turning back to her.

(Y/N): Thank you Ms. Yearling.

A.K. Yearling: You're very welcome. Now, how about I get one for your girlfriend here?

Immediately after she said that is when you and Rainbow simultaneously blushed.

(Y/N): W-We're not dating or anything like that!

Rainbow Dash: Y-Yeah! W-What he said!

She said while trying to get rid of her blush. Ms. Yearling chuckled once more at how you two were acting.

A.K. Yearling: If you say so. Now, let me get a copy for you Miss.

She said before reaching for another copy. A few seconds passed before she came back up with a rather serious face.

A.K. Yearling: Oh no, it seems that there was a miscount when it came to the number of copies. I'm afraid your friend here has the very last one.

Rainbow's eyes widened.

Rainbow Dash: Y-You mean...

A.K. Yearling: I'm sorry miss. I don't have any more copies of Daring Do and the Lost Palace of Platinum.

Rainbow Dash: N-No... we came all this way.

She said in a rather sad and disappointed voice. You couldn't help but feel sorry for her as you began to look down at your own copy in your hands.

???: You're not just gonna keep the book for yourself are you?

A voice suddenly came out of nowhere before you heard what sounded like a poof over your left shoulder. You looked and saw a tiny version of you who was wearing a white robe while carrying a small harp and had a halo over his head.

(Y/N): My shoulder angel?

???: Don't listen to that guy!

A second voice popped up from your other shoulder and you looked just in time to see another tiny version of you appear in a burst of flames. This one was wearing a red devil costume while also holding a trident.

Devil: He's just trying to lead you down the path of righteousness. I'm gonna lead you down the path that rocks!

Angel: Oh, come off it!

Devil: YOU come off it!

Angel: YOU!!

Devil: YOU!!!

Angel: YOU!!!!

Devil: You infinity!

The angel growled at that. The devil then conjured a pair of glasses and what looked like a list. All you could do was stare with disbelief at all of this as you couldn't help but notice that everything else seemed to be moving in slow motion.

Devil: Listen up big guy. I've got pretty good reasons why you should just walk away. Number 1: Look at that guy, he's got that sissy stringy thingy.

Angel: We've been through this! It's a harp, and you know it!

The devil then got rid of his list.

Devil: Okay, that's a harp... and that's a dress.

Angel: ROBE!

The devil then hopped down onto the table in front of you.

Devil: Reason Number 2: Look what I can do.

He said before doing a one-handed handstand and chuckling. You were rather confused by that.

(Y/N): Umm, what does that have to do with-

Angel: No, no. He's got a point.

(Y/N): Listen guys, you're starting to weird me out here. So uhh... begone! Or umm... you know... however I get rid of you guys.

Devil: That'll work.

He said before he and the angel poofed out of existence and the world sped back up again. You then looked back at Rainbow Dash who still held a disappointed look while staring at the ground. You looked once more at your copy before speaking.

(Y/N): Here. Take mine Rainbow.

You said while holding your copy to her. She looked back at you surprised by your sudden action.

Rainbow Dash: B-But... I can't take it from you Y/N. You got it first so it's yours.

(Y/N): Well, now I'm giving it to you. Besides, I can always wait until more copies come out. You waited all this time and I'd rather give up my own copy than see you walking out of this mall while feeling sad and disappointed.

Rainbow Dash: Are... are you sure?

You smiled.

(Y/N): Positive.

Her eyes darted back and forth from you to the book in your hands. She finally looked back up at you and smiled.

Rainbow Dash: I-I don't know what to say except... thank you Y/N.

She said before slowly taking the book from you. A.K. Yearling couldn't help but smile at the display.

A.K. Yearling: Are you sure that you two aren't a couple?

She said with a smirk. You and Rainbow blushed again from her comment.

(Y/N)/Rainbow Dash: We're not dating!

You both shouted while Ms. Yearling chuckled again.

A.K. Yearling: Well, I must say that this was an interesting meeting with you two. I have plans to work on the next book soon so I should get going. But, since you two seem to be very passionate about my stories, I'll let you both in on something. One of my Daring Do books is being adapted into a movie.

Rainbow Dash: R-Really?! Daring Do is getting her own movie?!

She asked with exhilaration in her voice and a smile on her face.

A.K. Yearling: Yeah, she is. I really do hope that you enjoy it when it comes out. Anyways, I need to go now. It was really nice to meet you both.

She said before standing up and leaving the bookstore. You and Rainbow began to leave the mall.

Rainbow Dash: Can you believe it Y/N?! Daring Do is getting her own movie!

(Y/N): In a way, I can believe it. She's made such a huge impact on the literary world that I'd be genuinely surprised if they didn't make a Daring Do movie.

Rainbow Dash: Heh, I feel ya there.

After a few moments of walking, you two finally made it to the front entrance of the mall and you turned to each other.

Rainbow Dash: Hey Y/N? I wanna say thank you for giving me your copy of Daring Do and the Lost Palace of Platinum. It must have been hard for you to do that.

(Y/N): It's no trouble at all Dashie. I wasn't gonna let you leave empty handed and disappointed. *over dramatic* I'd be despicable if I did that!

You said the last part while holding your hand to your heart and staring up at the sky in an over dramatic way. She chuckled at that.

Rainbow Dash: Heh heh, well, thank you anyways.

You smiled at her.

(Y/N): It was my pleasure.

You then began to stare at each other just like when you had that stare down with Applejack yesterday. The other thought you had then found its way back into your head again. 

The second candidate for a potential girlfriend was Rainbow Dash. This girl was known throughout CHS for not only her incredible athleticism but also for her massive ego. Despite this though, she did have her redeeming qualities that you could clearly see. She was loyal, brave, confident, and even though she sometimes hides it under her tough exterior, she's been known to be a very adorable when she let's it out just like today with her fangirling over A.K. Yearling. It took awhile for you to see this side of her but when you finally did it only made you like her even more.

Your thoughts were interrupted again when you felt your phone buzz in your pocket which indicated that you received a message. You took it out and saw that it was a text from Pinkie Pie.

Rainbow Dash: I'm guessing that's from Pinkie?

(Y/N): Yeah. She's asking when I'm gonna come over to her place. I think I'll take that as a sign that I've gotta go.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, you're right. It's best to not leave her hanging.

You put your phone back in your pocket.

(Y/N): Okay then, I'll be seeing you Dashie.

You were about to walk away before she called out to you.

Rainbow Dash: Hey, Y/N?

(Y/N): What's up?

She walked up to you and stopped right in front of you. She then looked off to the sides with a huge blush on her face before she surprised you with a kiss while holding both of your cheeks. Before you could pull her closer, she pulled back and stared at you while maintaining her blush.

Rainbow Dash: T-That was... for being with me today and giving me your copy. I'll see ya later Y/N!

She said before quickly sprinting off. You held out a hand towards her in some vain attempt to stop her but she was already long gone. You stood there for a few more seconds before deciding to head over to Pinkie's place which you did.

(Timeskip)

Many moments later, you made it to Pinkie's house thanks to her giving you the directions over text. You walked up to the front door and knocked. You waited for a bit before the door opened and you were greeted not by Pinkie herself but by another girl. This girl had sapphire bluish gray skin and brilliant turquoise eyes which had grayish blue violet eye shadow covering them. Her hair was a grayish violet and was completely straight.

She looked at you with an emotionless face before speaking.

???: Hello. Can I help you?

She spoke in a very dry and monotonous voice. You couldn't help but feel a mix of confusion and a bit of intimidation upon seeing her.

(Y/N): Umm... hi there. Does... Pinkie live here by chance?

She slowly blinked.

???: Oh, you must be the guy that she talks about a lot. I'm Maud Pie. Pinkie's second oldest sister.

She spoke before holding her hand out to you to which you shook it.

(Y/N): I'm Y/N L/N. It's nice to meet you.

Maud Pie: Likewise. Pinkie's been expecting you. Come inside and I'll take you to her.

She said before stepping to the side to let you in.

(Y/N): Thank you. Lead the way.

You walked inside and followed her through the house. She lead you to the kitchen where you saw Pinkie Pie who was wearing an apron. She turned around and immediately smiled upon seeing you and quickly ran up and wrapped you in a hug.

Pinkie Pie: Hiya Y/N! I'm so glad you made it!

(Y/N): Of course Pinkie. What kind of friend would I be if I left you hanging?

Maud Pie: I hope the two of you have fun.

She said before leaving. You and Pinkie ended the hug.

(Y/N): So, she's your sister?

Pinkie Pie: Yeppers! She one of my THREE sisters in fact.

(Y/N): Three? Who are the other two then?

Pinkie Pie: Well, one is my oldest sister Limestone while the other is my younger twin sister Marble. I'm sure that you'll get to meet them soon.

(Y/N): *thinking* Huh, this family's turning out weirder by the moment... in a good way of course. I wonder what the other two sisters are like.

You couldn't help but think since Pinkie was the hyperactive happy one while Maud was the reserved monotonous one.

Pinkie Pie: AAAnywho, those cakes aren't gonna bake themselves. Let's get to baking.

She said before handing you an apron. Soon enough, you and Pinkie got to work on baking a cake by first making the cake batter. You both mixed the batter until it was just right before pouring it into multiple pans and placing it into the oven and waiting for it to cook.

Pinkie Pie: So, how was your hangouts with Applejack and Rainbow Dash?

(Y/N): They were pretty good. I got to taste some delicious apple pies with Applejack and her family. As for Rainbow Dash, we went the mall and met A.K. Yearling herself but it turned out that she only had one copy of her latest book left so I decided to just let Rainbow have it.

Pinkie Pie: Aww, that was really sweet of you to do.

(Y/N): Of course. I wasn't just gonna let her leave empty handed and to feel all sad now was I? Let's just say that she was beyond happy after that.

You said while smiling which made Pinkie happy that you did something good for a friend. After many moments of waiting, the cakes were finally done cooking. You took them out and marveled at how perfectly baked they were. After letting them cool off, you finally got to the part that was the most fun for not just you but for Pinkie as well, decorating the cakes. You and Pinkie brought out the cake piping tools and started decorating the cakes with icing. Things were going smoothly... until Pinkie got an idea.

Pinkie Pie: Hey, Y/N?

(Y/N): What's up?

Pinkie Pie: Think fast!

She shouted before squirting some icing at you which landed on your face and your apron. She laughed at the results while you stood there with a shadow over your eyes.

(Y/N): *whisper* Pinkie... do you... have any idea... what this means exactly?

She looked back at you when she heard you.

Pinkie Pie: What?

She asked while still giggling. You looked back up at her with squinted eyes.

(Y/N): This... means... WAR!!

You cocked your icing bag like a gun and rapidly squirted icing at Pinkie who immediately took cover. This resulted in a full-on battle between you and Pinkie as you squirted icing at each other which not only got on your faces and aprons but also everything else in the kitchen. Soon after, the whole kitchen was caked in different colored icing as you and Pinkie continued to squirt one another before you were interrupted.

???: WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON IN HERE?!?!

A female voice yelled which got both yours and Pinkie's attention. You looked and saw two girls standing by the entrance to the kitchen. The girl on the left had turquoish gray skin, dark cyanish gray hair with spring greenish gray streaks, and grayish violet eyes. The other girl had bluish gray skin, opalish gray hair, and light apple green eyes. The first girl seemed to be quiet and shy while the other girl seemed more like a punk rocker girl.

Pinkie instantly smiled upon seeing them.

Pinkie Pie: Oh, hi Limestone! Hi Marble!

She greeted them happily while the one called limestone was not so happy.

Limestone Pie: Don't hi Limestone me Pinkie! Why is there icing everywhere in the kitchen?!

Pinkie Pie: Umm, my friend Y/N and I were just baking some cakes until... we had an icing war. Heh heh.

She laughed nervously.

(Y/N): Alright, to be completely and honestly fair here... Pinkie's the one who started it!

You said while pointing at her.

Pinkie Pie: Yes indee- wait WHAT?! You traitor! He totally fired back!

She pointed at you as well.

(Y/N): W-Well... I guess... I can't deny that. Sorry about that.

Limestone seemed to calm down after your apology.

Limestone Pie: *sigh* Well, alright then. Just get this place cleaned up before mom and dad get home and there won't be any more problems.

Pinkie Pie: Gotcha Limey!

(Y/N): We've got it handled. No need to worry.

Limestone looked at you and squinted her eyes.

Limestone Pie: Wait, you're that savior guy that everyone at CHS talks about aren't you?

Pinkie Pie: He sure is! Y/N, this is my oldest sister Limestone and my younger twin sister Marble.

(Y/N): It's nice to meet the both of you.

Limestone Pie: Well then Mr. Savior, as Pinkie told you I'm Limestone Pie and I'm the oldest sister.

She smirked while saying that.

(Y/N): It's a pleasure Limestone.

You said before shaking her hand. You then looked at Marble who had a hand on her arm while looking down nervously.

(Y/N): And you must be Marble right?

After a few seconds, she looked up at you and nodded.

Marble Pie: Mm-hmm.

Limestone Pie: Sorry if she seems rather quiet. She doesn't really like to talk a lot.

Pinkie Pie: *whisper* She's very shy.

She whispered into your ear. You looked back at Marble as she was still staring at you nervously.

(Y/N): *thinking* Huh, so she's actually a lot more shy than even Fluttershy. That actually says a lot.

You thought as you were reminded by just how shy Fluttershy was when you first met her. She could barely speak sometimes aside from a few words here and there. Thankfully, she seems to have come out of her shell a little bit as of late which you couldn't be more proud of her for.

Limestone Pie: So Mr. Savior, you mind telling us why exactly you're in our home?

Pinkie Pie: I invited him to bake some cakes with me. Right Y/N?

(Y/N): Mm-hmm.

You mimicked Marble which surprised her and made her giggle slightly much to the surprise of Pinkie and Limestone.

Limestone Pie: D-Did he... just...

Pinkie Pie: Make her giggle? Yeah, he totally did.

She said before grinning.

Pinkie Pie: I wasn't expecting anyone outside of our family to make her giggle. Huh, the more ya know.

Limestone Pie: Anyways Mr. Savior, since Pinkie here has been telling us of how great of a guy you are, I don't mind you hanging out with her. But know this, if I ever find out that you hurt any of my sisters... I won't hesitate to teach you a painful lesson.

She said while cracking her knuckles and glaring at you.

(Y/N): Listen Limestone, you really don't need to worry about that. In fact, I hate those kinds of guys who are just nothing but users. So, I can personally assure you that you won't ever see anything like that coming from me.

Limestone saw that you weren't lying and she stopped glaring and nodded.

Limestone Pie: Well that's all good then. Now you and Pinkie should get this place cleaned up before our parents get back or else it won't be good for either of you.

She said before she and Marble started leaving. Marble took a moment to look back at you and smiled before walking away.

(Y/N): So... those two are your sisters Pinkie?

Pinkie Pie: Yes indeedily Y/N.

(Y/N): *thinking* Let's see if I've got this right. You've got an older sister who is the rather aggressive type, a sister who shows absolutely zero emotions, a sister who's hyperactive and all over the place, and a sister who's more quiet and reserved than even Fluttershy. Am I the only one who feels like they would make an interesting sitcom?

Pinkie Pie: *sigh* It's gonna take us forever to clean up this mess.

She said in an unenthusiastic voice while gazing at the mess you two made.

(Y/N): No worries, Pinkie. I've already got a solution for that.

You then brought your hands together and conjured your telekinesis magic. You focused solely on the icing around the both of you as it all suddenly and quickly started coming together into a giant ball of icing. You levitated the icing ball over the trash can and gently lowered it in. The kitchen and also yourselves were now sparkling clean as if no amount of icing had ever touched it or you for that matter. You dusted your hands off with an accomplished grin and turned back to Pinkie to see her with a dumbfounded look before it turned into a jovial smile.

Pinkie Pie: Wow! That was super, duper, awesomely quick Y/N! I kinda forgot that you had magic for a moment!

(Y/N): Heh, thanks Pinkie. Now, what do you say we get back to decorating the cakes?

Pinkie Pie: Okie-dokie-lokie!

She squeed before you got back to work on the cakes. After a few minutes, the cakes were finally finished.

Pinkie Pie: AAAAnd done!

(Y/N): I gotta admit, we did quite the job with these cakes.

You then smirked.

(Y/N): I guess you could say it was a... piece of cake.

You said while trying to keep a straight face which failed because you ended up laughing anyways along with Pinkie. You eventually calmed down and wiped the tears of laughter from your eyes.

Pinkie Pie: Anyways, thanks for your help today Y/N.

(Y/N): You're quite welcome Pinkie. I mean, what kind of person would I be if I broke my promises to my friends?

You said with a charming smile which garnered a giggle from Pinkie. After that, you, Pinkie, and her siblings helped yourselves to the cakes that you made. While you were eating, you took a few glances at Pinkie as she was chowing down on her own slice. 

The next candidate for a possible girlfriend was Pinkie Pie. Her hyperactive nature was something that everyone at CHS was more than quite aware of. While some people might have found her personality overbearing, and to others sometimes annoying, to you, it honestly just added to her charm. She was funny, bubbly, sweet, and quite honestly really cute in your eyes. You have, on more than one occasion, often considered asking her out. But again, the other girls would enter your mind and plague your thoughts with uncertainty. Oh well, hopefully you'll make a decision soon or else you'll probably end up losing your mind.

Moments passed before you finished off your slice of cake and decided that it was time to leave.

Pinkie Pie: I'm guessing you have to go?

(Y/N): *sigh* Yes sadly. I had a lot of fun today Pinkie.

Pinkie Pie: Me too Y/N. I'll see ya later but before you leave, I wanna give you something.

You already suspected what it was but you asked anyways.

(Y/N): What is it?

She came up to you, grabbed your cheeks, and pulled you into a kiss. You leaned in to make it last a bit longer which Pinkie didn't seem to mind. After about twenty seconds, the kiss was broken as Pinkie giggled while also blushing.

Pinkie Pie: That was for being such a big huge help today.

She said while trying to get rid of her blush. Despite the fact that you knew that it was coming, you still blushed from the fact that Pinkie kissed you.

(Y/N): Y-Yeah, I was more than happy to help. See you later Pinkie.

You said while exiting her house and waving while she was standing at the door and waving at you.

Pinkie Pie: Bye-bye Y/N!

She said before closing the front door and turned back to see her sisters standing there. Limestone held a smirk, Marble was smiling, and Maud... well... she was smiling on the inside.

Limestone Pie: You have a crush on him don't you?

Pinkie's face immediately reddened upon hearing her eldest sister's words. She then started playing with the hem of her skirt.

Pinkie Pie: Ummm... I don't know... maybe?

Maud Pie: You clearly do. Your face tells us everything.

Pinkie then sighed at not being able to hide it from them.

Pinkie Pie: Okay, I do. Can you blame me though? Y/N's such a sweet and funny guy that I can't help myself. He's done so much for me and my friends such as getting us all back together and even helping everyone at CHS when they need it. He always knows how to bring a smile to everyone's faces.

Maud Pie: Isn't he also the same guy who has magic and fought Sunset Shimmer when she became that demon?

Limestone Pie: Wait, that was him?! Huh, no wonder he looked familiar. Look Pinkie, I suggest that you should ask him out sooner rather than later if you don't want him to be snatched up by some other girl.

Pinkie Pie: You might be right about that Limey, but it's not gonna be that easy. If I ask Y/N out and we start dating then my friends will get super duper jealous and they might not wanna be friends with me anymore.

Limestone Pie: Oh... well, I'm sure that you'll come to some kind of decision. Right marble?

Marble Pie: Mm-hmm.

She mumbled while nodding.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was now Sunday and you were on your way over to the animal shelter to meet up with Fluttershy. You walked inside and saw her over by the front desk while signing the volunteer sheet. She heard you come in and turned around and smiled at you.

Fluttershy: Oh, hi Y/N. I'm so glad you could make it.

(Y/N): Of course Fluttershy. I never miss out on any opportunity to hang out with friends. So, which animals are we helping out first?

Fluttershy: Just follow me. But first, be sure to sign your name on the sheet.

You nodded before signing your name and following her. The next few minutes was spent helping Fluttershy by feeding the puppies and kittens and all of the other animals there as well. You were currently feeding some birds as you watched while they chowed down on the seeds they were given.

(Y/N): There you go guys. A nice helping of delicious seeds.

Fluttershy soon walked back to you.

Fluttershy: How's everything going Y/N?

(Y/N): Pretty good Fluttershy. I just got done feeding the birds so that should be it as far as feeding them goes.

Fluttershy: That's good to hear. Come on, we need to clean the pens and cages next.

(Y/N): Right behind ya.

You followed her to the pens where they kept some of the animals and started cleaning them. Things were going well until you came across one particular cage. You then started gagging from the horrendous smell coming from it due to the old dog smell. You rushed to a nearby trash can and started throwing up into it. After a moment or two, you stopped vomiting and took a moment to breathe.

(Y/N) Holy dirty socks batman, that stinks!

You finally managed to say while trying to catch your breath. Fluttershy giggled slightly before she walked up behind you and rubbed your back gently.

Fluttershy: Are you okay Y/N?

(Y/N): Y-Yeah, I'm fine. Jeez, Fluttershy. How long did it take for you to get used to the horrific smell?

Fluttershy: About a week.

Your eyes widened.

(Y/N): A week?! Well, now I really need to respect you for being able to handle that.

She giggled again. You straightened back up and composed yourself.

(Y/N): Okay, I think I'm fine now. I think-

You were interrupted by yourself gagging again.

(Y/N): No, wait!

You started barfing again into the trash can while Fluttershy rubbed your back again and she giggled once more. After that... unfortunate incident, you and Fluttershy got back to work on cleaning the pens and cages. Once that was done, the both of you decided to have lunch in the nearby breakroom. You told her about your experiences with Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie during the last two days as she intently listened. You avoided telling her about how they each gave you a goodbye kiss before you left because you honestly didn't know how she'd react to that.

Fluttershy: So, you got to meet A.K. Yearling as well as Pinkie's sisters yesterday?

(Y/N): Sure did. I was actually surprised by just how different Pinkie's sisters were from each other. Not that it's a bad thing of course, I just wasn't expecting that.

Fluttershy giggled at that.

Fluttershy: I know what you mean. I was surprised by them too, especially when I first met Maud.

(Y/N): Hey, Fluttershy? I'm rather curious. Do you have any siblings?

You asked which resulted in a sigh from Fluttershy.

Fluttershy: Yeah, I do. I have a younger brother named Zephyr Breeze.

(Y/N): Wait, Zephyr Breeze? You mean that self-absorbed hipster guy who's always trying to get a date with Rainbow Dash but always ends up getting rejected in the end?

You asked. You remembered that you came across him on more than one occasion when he always tried to ask Rainbow Dash out but she always turned him down every time by either flat out just saying no or by avoiding him. This was also followed up by Fluttershy sighing annoyingly every time.

Fluttershy: Yeah, that's him. He's my younger brother.

She groaned.

(Y/N): Wait, younger brother? No offense Fluttershy, but it honestly seems like he's the older sibling out of the both of you.

Fluttershy: Yeah, I get that a lot. Everyone always assumes that he's the older sibling whenever they see us.

(Y/N): Well, that's interesting.

You said before you went back to eating. As you were eating however, you soon heard some ruckus coming from the other room which got both of your attention.

(Y/N): What the heck is going on in there?

Fluttershy: I don't know. Let's go look.

You nodded before you stood up and walked out of the breakroom to see that all of the animals had gotten out of control. Fluttershy gasped.

Fluttershy: Oh no! We need to calm all of them down!

(Y/N): Don't worry Flutters. I think I know how to get them to stop.

You then walked forward and started whistling rather melodically. This soon made all of the animals stop whatever it was they were doing and they started getting sleepy. They soon fell fast asleep and you stopped whistling as Fluttershy stared at you with an astonished look.

Fluttershy: *thinking* Wow, he whistles so wonderfully. I wonder if he can also sing.

She thought.

(Y/N): Alright, that's about taken care of. Let's round them up and finish lunch.

Fluttershy: Okay.

You two started carefully putting each animal back into their own cages and pens. After a few minutes, all the animals were back where they were supposed to be and you and Fluttershy went back to have your lunch. As the two of you ate, you couldn't help but think about the girl who was currently sitting across from you at the table.

The next candidate for a possible girlfriend was Fluttershy. When you met this girl, her timid and shy personality stopped her from speaking to you properly. But, as you and her talked more, she soon grew more comfortable around you and you really started warming up to her as well. You couldn't help but be drawn to her when you became close friends with her. Why wouldn't you? She was kind, caring, compassionate, and really good with animals. It honestly warmed your heart to know that she had a lot of love for animals. A part of you really wanted to see if you could become more than friends with her, but much like the many times before, the other girls flooded your thoughts and left you indecisive. This really needed to be sorted out before things got out of hand.

After all of that, you went back to work. Some time had passed before it was time for you to leave. Fluttershy followed you to the front entrance as you signed out on the volunteer sheet.

Fluttershy: Thanks for coming by and helping me with the animals Y/N.

(Y/N): There's no need to thank me Fluttershy. I was happy to help. I've gotta get home and clean myself before I go to meet Rarity at Carousel Boutique.

Fluttershy: Okay, but before you leave, is it okay if I give you something?

(Y/N): *thinking* She's not gonna actually kiss me... is she? *speaking* Alright, what is it?

She walked up to you before she immediately started blushing slightly. She closed her eyes tight and took deep breaths before silently counting to herself. She then gave you a kiss on the lips which only lasted for a second before she quickly pulled back with a huge blush on her face. You also stood with your own blush. You were rather dumbfounded at the fact that Fluttershy was able to summon enough courage to do something rather bold. She soon got rid of her blush before speaking.

Fluttershy: U-Umm, a-anyways, I'll see you next time.

She said before she quickly left the building. You stood for a few more seconds before coming back down to earth.

(Y/N): W-Well, that was... brave of her.

You said to yourself before you went back home.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After heading back home and cleaning yourself up, you walked into the city and straight towards Carousel Boutique to meet up with Rarity. You walked through the front door to see that she was waiting for you inside.

(Y/N): Hey Rarity.

Rarity: Hello Y/N darling. It's so wonderful to see you again.

She greeted before giving you a quick hug. You separated from each other.

(Y/N): You as well. So, you said you wanted me to be a model for you?

Rarity: That I did. You see, I've been planning to make a new ensemble of mens wear but I needed someone to model for me. That's when I decided to ask you for help.

(Y/N): Well, you came to the right person Rarity. Where do we start?

She smiled at your willingness.

Rarity: Right this way darling.

She lead you to a back portion of the building where she got your measurements. She then gave you one of the suits that she had made for her ensemble and asked you to try it on. You went into one of the changing rooms and put on the suit before opening the curtain and walking out. Rarity's eyes widened upon seeing you in the fancy clothing.

(Y/N): So, how do I look?

Rarity at first didn't say or do anything as she was too busy being distracted by you looking quite handsome in your current attire. She then quickly shook her head to get herself to focus once more before smiling and speaking.

Rarity: It looks splendid on you darling. You look just like a handsome prince... *whisper* who's about to take his sweet princess named Rarity out on a romantic date.

(Y/N): What was that?

Rarity: Nothing!

Thanks to your incredible hearing, you heard the last thing she said but you decided to act like you didn't hear her.

(Y/N): OOOOkay then. I do have to say though that this one is really well made Rarity. Easily, your best work yet.

Rarity blushed at the comment before chuckling.

Rarity: Well, as much as I appreciate the compliment darling, I like to think that my best work is still yet to come.

(Y/N): Come on Rarity, you really need to stop being so modest. Your clothing is easily the best that I've seen. I'm honestly really surprised that some of the top fashionistas haven't at the very least taken you in as a protege because you clearly have a natural talent for it.

Her eyes widened from that.

Rarity: Do... do you really mean that?

You nodded while smiling.

(Y/N): I do.

Rarity then gave you a genuine smile before walking up to you and giving you a warm hug.

Rarity: Why... thank you dearly for your such kind words Y/N. You really know just what to say to a lady don't you?

You smiled before embracing her.

(Y/N): I try my best.

The both of you took this moment to just enjoy your current embrace. You then got to thinking about just how amazing Rarity is. 

After all, she was another candidate for a great girlfriend. Rarity all throughout her life, as well as high school, has always been known to be the sophisticated type. Although, unlike other noblewomen who were sometimes known to be uptight and full of themselves, Rarity has shown time and time again that she was the opposite of that. She WAS sophisticated, but she was also selfless, elegant, thoughtful, and generous especially when it came to her friends which included you. Her skills when it came to fashion was especially amazing as she made clothing that could potentially rival even some of the best fashionistas in the world. Not to mention her beauty basically made herself eye candy in the eyes of many of the other boys at school. You, however, were able to see that there was much more to her than just her beauty. If it weren't for the fact that the other girls were also candidates, you would have probably gotten together with her by now.

Your moment of thinking was interrupted by Rarity breaking the hug and the both of you smiled at each other.

Rarity: Now, what do you say you try on the rest of the suits that I made?

You nodded.

(Y/N): Let's see what you got.

With that said, you then modeled the rest of the suits that Rarity wanted you to try on for about an hour before it was time for you to leave.

(Y/N): Well Rarity, as fun as this was, I really need to get going if I'm gonna go see Sunset.

Rarity: I understand darling. I'll see you later but before you leave, I wish to give you a little reward for your troubles today.

(Y/N): *thinking* AAAAAAAnd here we go again. *speaking* Okay.

She walked up to you before placing her hands on your chest and she gave you a gentle kiss while also raising her leg a teeny bit. She soon separated before looking at you while you both blushed simultaneously.

Rarity: A-Anyways, until we meet again Y/N.

You snapped out of your stupor and removed your blush.

(Y/N): U-Umm, yeah. Until we meet again Rarity, farewell.

You said while heading out the front door and straight towards Sunset Shimmer's home.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You walked through the city of Canterlot until you eventually made it to Sunset's house which was a somewhat small two floor building. Ever since the events of the Fall Formal, you made it a habit to visit her often in order to see how she was handling everything. You rang the doorbell and waited for about a minute before Sunset finally opened the door and smiled at you.

Sunset Shimmer: Hey Y/N.

(Y/N): What's up Sunset? As I promised, I came by to hang out with you. So, what shall we do first?

Sunset Shimmer: I was thinking we could go for a walk in the city and talk.

(Y/N): Alright then. Just grab whatever essentials you need and let's get going.

She nodded before heading back inside to grab a few things. After a minute, she came back to the door.

(Y/N): *butler voice mimic* This way ma'am.

You said while bowing your head and stepping out the way for her. She giggled and playfully rolled her eyes at that before closing her door and locking it using her set of keys and went ahead of you.

Soon, you and Sunset arrived at the city and began walking around while talking.

(Y/N): So Sunset, how are things with you?

Sunset Shimmer: I'm doing alright. I've been doing all I can in order to make a better name for myself at CHS.

(Y/N): Well, that's good.

She then got curious about something.

Sunset Shimmer: Hey, Y/N? I've been meaning to ask. You said that you had your powers ever since you were born, but do you know where you got them from? I mean, do your parents have powers too?

You shook your head.

(Y/N): No, they don't have powers. They're just your average everyday people. I don't really know where my powers come from or how I got them. All I know is that I've had them my entire life.

Sunset Shimmer: Huh, that's interesting. Do you remember how and when you discovered them?

(Y/N): I do. But first, have you heard about Star Wars?

Sunset Shimmer: Yeah, I know about it. In fact, I've actually seen some of the movies. What does that have to do with you having magic though?

(Y/N): I'm getting to that. Anyways, I was about six years old and I was a really big fan of the movies. One day, I was in my room pretending to use the force in order to bring my toy lightsaber to my hand when it magically levitated to me.

This surprised her.

Sunset Shimmer: Really?! That's amazing!

(Y/N): It was. For a moment, I had actually believed that I had the force and I immediately showed my parents this and they were, for lack of a better phrase or term, surprised beyond belief. Regardless, they still accepted me. After that is when they told me that I needed to hide it because we weren't sure how the world would react to it.

Sunset Shimmer: So, all of those times you were easily able to get out of any of my schemes-

(Y/N): Was because of my magic. Yes.

Sunset looked forward while in thought. Back when she was mean, she went through countless sleepless nights of just trying to figure out how you had managed to outfox her schemes every time you met one another. It all made so much sense now.

Sunset Shimmer: Wow, I never knew. Anyways, that's an interesting story about discovering your powers.

(Y/N): Yeah, it is. I just wish I knew where they came from.

A thought soon popped into your mind.

(Y/N): Hey, Sunset? You don't suppose my powers might have come from Equestria do you?

She thought about that for a moment.

Sunset Shimmer: Maybe. It's possible that your powers did come from Equestria, but that's only a really, really slim possibility.

(Y/N): I see. Hey, I wanna show you something.

She grew curious from that.

Sunset Shimmer: What is it?

(Y/N): You'll see.

You said before leading her to the location you had in mind.

(Timeskip)

After a few moments of walking, you lead Sunset to a hillside that had a great view of the entire city of Canterlot. The hill itself had a tree that was currently giving shade to the ground beneath it. This was the perfect time to be here due to the fact that the sun was beginning to set in order to make way for the night.

(Y/N): *inhale* *exhale* What a sight. This is a place I like to go to whenever I just wanna think to myself about something. It really is something to behold.

Sunset Shimmer: Y-Yeah, it is... quite beautiful...

She said before suddenly having a sad expression on her face as she looked down. You immediately noticed this.

(Y/N): Sunset? What's wrong?

Sunset Shimmer: It's nothing Y/N, it's just... This sunset reminds me of... when I was a little filly back in Equestria. I would sometimes sneak out of the house in order to get away from my adoptive parents always hounding me to work all the time. I used to go to this particular hill and just stare at the sunset. It was one of the only few times I could actually live for myself even if it was only for a moment. 

Your eyes widened when you heard this which lead to you feeling terrible for bringing her here.

(Y/N): I'm... I'm so sorry Sunset. I never meant to remind you of something like that. *sigh* I shouldn't have brought you here.

She shook her head before throwing on a smile.

Sunset Shimmer: No, it's okay. You honestly didn't know. And also, I'm glad you brought me here. Because now I get to share it with someone I can call a friend.

You smiled at that.

(Y/N): Well, that's a relief. 

You both then took a seat down on the ground and began watching the sunset.

(Y/N): Hey Sunset? Do you think you could maybe tell me a little bit more about Equestria?

Sunset Shimmer: You wanna know more about Equestria? Didn't Twilight tell you everything about it already?

(Y/N): Ehh, she only told me the basic info such as Equestria having magic and that the world is inhabited by ponies and many other races and how there's a pony version of our friends as well as Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna who are the rulers there, but that's just about it. 

Sunset Shimmer: I guess it wouldn't hurt to know a little bit more about my world. So, sure. I'll tell you.

She then proceeded to tell you more about Equestria. You learned about other races such as dragons, griffons, changelings, and other creatures. She also told you how the pony versions of Celestia and Luna were over a thousand years old and how they were able to control both the sun and the moon. This was quite a shock for you to learn.

(Y/N): Wow, that's certainly a lot to take in all at once.

Sunset Shimmer: Yeah, it is. I'm sure you can imagine my surprise when I learned that this world's sun and moon aren't manipulated by magic. 

(Y/N): Hey, I just thought of something. Sense everyone here seems to have a pony version of themselves in Equestria, do you think that there's a pony version of me there too?

Sunset Shimmer: It's possible. Maybe your pony equivalent is a very talented unicorn there.

(Y/N): Heh, that would be rather cool. Also, if you're from Equestria, then there must be a human version of you in this world. 

Her eyes widened at that.

Sunset Shimmer: You're right! There must be a Sunset Shimmer of this world too. 

(Y/N): I'm just wondering where she is exactly.

Sunset Shimmer: Well, I don't think she's here in Canterlot since I haven't seen her anywhere. Maybe she lives in another city or country. I'm just hoping she doesn't have horrible adoptive parents like I did.

(Y/N): We can only hope at this point. What exactly are we gonna do if she does come here and sees you? How would we even handle that without giving too much information to her?

Sunset Shimmer: We'll have to cross that bridge when we come to it I guess. The only thing I'm hoping for is for her to not learn about what I've done and that my actions won't cause her too much trouble in the future. 

She said the last part in a somewhat sad voice. You easily caught on to that.

(Y/N): Sunset? What's the matter? You can tell me if you want.

Sunset Shimmer: It's nothing Y/N. It's just... it's just that I been working so hard in order to get everyone at CHS to like and trust me, but it hasn't really been bearing a lot of fruit lately. Aside from maybe a few students and also you and our friends, everyone else still either hates me or are undecided because of everything I did. They're all just afraid that... I'll turn into that demon again which I don't blame them in the slightest for. Y/N... I'm scared. I'm scared of becoming that demon again. What if I hurt everyone? What if... what if I hurt you and everyone else you care for and love? I... I don't know what to do!

Sunset then broke down and started crying. You scootched over to her and wrapped her in a warm hug as she began crying on your shoulder. 

(Y/N): Sunset, you really don't need to worry about that because you now have our friends... you now have me. As long as we're here for you, you won't have to worry about having those kinds of fears anymore. Remember our talk at the end of the Fall Formal where I said that I'd be there for you to make sure that you wouldn't be sad or lonely? Well, I'm here for you now. I'm gonna make sure that you don't become that terrible demon that you used to be in order for you to always be truly free from darkness and evil. And it won't just be me who'll help you, our friends will be there for you as well and you can always rely on us to pull you out of any dark hole you fall into. That's a promise from me to you Sunset and I'm not one to take promises for granted.

Sunset soon began to cry tears of joy as she hugged you tight.

Sunset Shimmer: Thank you Y/N. 

(Y/N): There's no need to thank me Sunset. I'm here for you.

You were about to end the hug but Sunset still maintained her iron grip on you.

Sunset Shimmer: Do you think... we could... stay like this for just a little bit longer.

She asked while having a slight blush on her face. You smiled caringly at that.

(Y/N): Of course.

You remained cuddled up next to each other for the next few moments after that while watching the sun slowly disappear behind the horizon. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After watching the sun finally set and as night finally came, you and Sunset started heading back to her house as the two of you talked.

Sunset Shimmer: Thanks for spending time with me today Y/N.

She said while smiling.

(Y/N): You're very welcome Sunset and remember, if you ever find yourself in a situation where you get sad or lonely, don't be afraid to give me a call. I'll be there to lighten your mood with my terrible puns.

You said the last part with a goofy smile. She giggled at that.

Sunset Shimmer: Thanks. You know, not all of your puns are terrible. Some of them can be actually kinda funny.

(Y/N): Hmm, I guess you're right. They can be kinda... punny.

She then glanced at you with a surprised look before playfully punching your shoulder which resulted in the both of you chuckling. After a few minutes, you finally made it her place.

Sunset Shimmer: Thanks for escorting me home Y/N.

She said before giving you one final hug.

(Y/N): It's not a problem Sunset. Anyways, I gotta get home since it's already dark out.

Sunset Shimmer: Alright. I guess I'll see you tomorrow then. But before you go, I really wanna give you something.

Your eyes widened slightly.

(Y/N): *thinking* Wait, is she... actually gonna... kiss me? *speaking* Okay. What is it?

She then walked up to you as you internally braced for the direct kiss... but you were instead given a normal kiss on the cheek from her. This rather surprised you a great deal since you were given a full on kiss on the lips from all of the other girls. You were kinda expecting her to do the same but this was a definite surprise. Not a bad one, but surprising nonetheless. She pulled back as you were both slightly blushing. 

Sunset Shimmer: I didn't thank you properly for you helping me out at the Fall Formal. 

(Y/N): Well... you're... totally welcome. I'll see you later Sunset. Be sure to give me a call or text if you need anything okay?

She nodded.

Sunset Shimmer: I will. See you later Y/N and goodnight.

You waved at her as she waved at you while you began walking back to your house. She then took a moment to think to herself.

Sunset Shimmer: *thinking* What is this I'm feeling? It's similar to how I felt when he comforted me at the Fall Formal. Am... am I... starting to having feelings for Y/N? Jeez, I really need to figure this out.

She thought before heading back into her house. Meanwhile, you were also thinking to yourself while you were heading back to your home.

(Y/N): *thinking* She... she actually gave me a kiss. Granted, it was on the cheek, but still. She really has changed when I first met her. The old Sunset Shimmer would have never even thought to do something like that. I'll admit, she really has become something else entirely. Something... that I've come to really like. Wait a minute... is... is Sunset a potential candidate for a girlfriend now?! 

You couldn't help but think about that. Sunset really has changed herself for the better. She went from an evil, narcissistic, non-redeemable bully into a sweet, caring, and compassionate girl. Maybe... maybe you WERE starting to feel something for her. Maybe... just maybe. All of this was rattling through your mind as you made your way back to your house.
