-Narrative-

As the morning sun rises Spike rushes into the room and wakes the newly couple up.

Sunset’s POV

A peaceful slumber with my marefriend. That is all I wanted and now I have her. She is my one and only. I stroke the mane of my lover then I hear the doors slam wide open completely waking both me and Twilight up. Damn you Spike.

“Twilight, Sunset, Princess Celestia requests that you both go to Canterlot ASAP… What were you two doing?” Twilight rubbed her head as if she gained a large headache from all of this. “Nothing Spike-“ Unfortunate… “We’ll be there in a bit.” I held Twilight close to me to prevent her from getting up. I start assaulting her with kisses on her head while she giggled. She attempted to escape from my hold, which, on her side, failed. “Come on Sunset… Ohh… We need to go see the Princess…” Her quickened breathing and small moans told me that she was enjoying this. I knew we had to go, but I didn’t want to.

“Come on Twilight! I’m sure Princess Celestia won’t care if we didn’t show up.”

I continue to kiss her neck and trail up to her lips. I can hear her moans become livelier. “Sunset… Please, we need to go… Maybe later when we come back we can continue from this.” I can hear hoofsteps approaching.

I thought it was Spike until I hear the voice coming from it which made me stop dead in my tracks. “I hope I’m not interrupting anything?” It was Princess Celestia who walked into the room observing me and Twilight’s moment… I release Twilight who falls to the floor and gets up all nervous and I hid my head under the covers to hide my own embarrassment. I can hear Celestia’s hooves walk beside me, but not on Twilight’s side. She lightly pulls the covers off of me. I start to panic a little. “Sorry mom, I didn’t expect you to come here. We didn’t do anything, I swear.” I really wanted to though. She placed a hoof on me for silence as I got up out of the bed.

“No need I understand your privacy, but there is something I would like to give you Sunset. Twilight has told me that you’ve learned all that you’ve needed to understand the magic of friendship. But there’s something that Twilight has told me that is more than just friendship.” I listen closely. “You’ve proven that, even in doubt, you can overcome the greatest of obstacles although they don’t always work out. When you left to the Human World you turned evil then Twilight showed you the way back to friendship there was ‘something’ that bought you to where you are now… Hope…” I look at her as if she said something stupid. “Yes Sunset Shimmer, if you know what hope is. Hope is what brings you to wake up every day. Hope is what keeps you from turning evil again. Hope is what helped you win Twilight’s Heart by calming her down. That is why I give my deepest acceptance to appoint to you Sunset Shimmer.” I see a white beam come from Celestia’s horn and hit me directly. All I see is my memories and my adventures consume me in a ball-like form. I can feel something come out of me, but the process was all but painful. This change only occurred for mere seconds until I appear in front of everyone again. I can see the burn marks on the floor they made up my Cutie Mark.

It was hazy at first, but when I came to, I got up to stretch, and I felt something on my back. I look and see wings. I have wings. I look up and see my horn. I put the pieces together.

“I’m an Alicorn…”

Celestia chucked. “Yes my dear Sunset Shimmer you are an Alicorn. But not just an alicorn but a Princess. Sunset Shimmer you are now known as ‘Sunset Shimmer the Princess of Hope”

My jaw dropped. I look to Twilight whose jaw also dropped. I see her get and run at me giving me hugs and kisses. “Mom, I don’t know what to say… Thank you. I promise that I won’t abuse this power. But I do have a question.” Celestia smiled and looked at me. “If I’m a Princess now where will I be?”

Celestia chuckled again. “Well, where do you want to be my little pony?”

I look to Twilight who just stood there without a word. I loved her and she loved me. But something in her stare said, ‘Go with what you think is best.’ I look back to Celestia. “Mom, I want to be with Twilight. I love her with all my heart and I believe, as a team, we’ll accomplish more. We’ll be able to spread both the Magic of Friendship and Hope to all of Equestria!”

Celestia nodded, who looked to Twilight who just gave a simple nod. “Well, it’s settled. Both you and Twilight will be in this castle together.”

Celestia created a white light around her and vanished leaving both me and Twilight alone in the room. I take a good look outside and the sun is barely up, so it’s around 6am.

I walk over to Twilight who had no words to speak at all. She just stares at me with a cute expression. “Well, Twilight… now we’re in this Princess thing together,” I yawned. “But I’m tired.” I crawl into bed. I made a very seductive pose and pat the space next to me. “Come to bed, Twilight. You need some rest after what just happened. Celestia knows I do.” Without any comment or word to speak, she climbs into bed next to me and scoots in close to me. I wrap my hooves around her. I give her a small kiss, with which she returned the gesture. I start to worry as she’s not being as audible. “Twilight, please speak to me.” I can hear her mutter something, but it’s very faint. “Twilight, if something is concerning you, I would like to help. I love you, baby.” I kiss her again.

“I’m just shocked Sunset… I didn’t expect this…” Twilight sounded clearer but was still at low volume. I stroke her mane to make her more at ease.

“It’s okay Twilight and to be honest I didn’t expect this to happen either. It’s both a surprise to you and me.” She looks up at me with a nervous look.

“But What if-“ I silence Twilight by placing a hoof on her muzzle.

“That’s enough of the what if’s Twilight. We’ll just have to see if this can work.” I grab her hoof into my own. “Do you want to make this work my love?” She kisses me in my cheek.

“Of course I do…” She scoots closer to me. I can feel her warm body press against my own. It was these kind of moments where I just want to please her more but some things just have to wait until they’re ready.
