The sun streamed through the curtains of the Dazzle abode, setting little beams over a snoring Sunset Shimmer, her well toned body glistening in the morning’s first ray. Entangled in a mess of pillows and blankets on a bed far too large for just one person. The alarm on her cellphone was an hour away from warning her to get to class, but she had managed to bring herself into the state between asleep and awake.

Aware of her surroundings, Sunset gave a tiny pout, she was alone in a gigantic bed, and she couldn’t feel the presence of the Dazzlings anywhere. As her mind began to push away the haze of sleep, something strange came over her. Her senses were suddenly assaulted in a manner most pleasant.

The scent of cooking, Sonata’s delicious cooking, wafted up from the kitchen below. The gentle lilt of her three lover’s conversing, coming near to what she could perceive as being the bedroom door. It was as they entered that Sunset’s eyes finally came open, fully conscious, and with the haze of her mind lifted she could see her lovers in all their glory.

Sonata, clad in not but an apron, hair back in a tight bun, looking to all the world as a sexy chef, holding a pan full of something that smelled of cinnamon, clove, and something that Sunset simply couldn’t place her sleep addled mind on. Then there was Aria, the queen of crass, smiling in her devilish manner, totally nude, and bearing a large tray just under her perky breasts, drawing attention not only to the fact that Aria was clearly carrying the heaviest burden of them and thus her beautiful physique was on display, but more than that, she had a steaming plate of savory bacon and eggs, a treat sunset hadn’t had for breakfast in….Well ever.

“Good morning darling Sunny,” Adagio had sung that to her, and if this was the song of the siren then Sunset was prepared to fly full sail into the rocks for it. Her voice wasn’t the magic laden song from before, nor was it a broken mess, instead she floated the notes gently through the air, enveloping Sunset in the same way her physical touches had last night.

Yes Adagio was most glorious of all, she sounded incredible, and her garment was no less than an ethereal night gown of bright red, accentuating her curvaceous form perfectly, and revealing just enough. Most of all of these, the highest piece of the equation for Sunset, was the glorious smell coming from the carafe in Adagio’s hand, the precious elixir, coffee, contained within.

“Marry me, all of you, right now,” Sunset said sleepily, as the girls all giggled, and proceeded to set up trays that they might all enjoy a nice breakfast in bed before the world summoned them from the house.

“So Sunny, class today?” Aria asked simply, gnawing on a slice of bacon and sipping coffee.

“Yep, turning in some homework, and chilling around campus before Iron Hoof practice,” Sunset said, having a bite of cinnamon roll. Clearly a masterpiece on par with Pinkie Pie, though less exotic than the tiramisu, it was so uniquely sonata, and that secret something she had smelled earlier really set the pastry apart from the ones at the School’s cafe.

“Ah lovely, we can go together then Sunny, I have classes as well, and if you don’t mind, I’d like to, ah, spectate at your practice tonight?” Adagio posed the question delicately, not wanting to intrude.

“Oh sure, Flutters usually comes to watch Dash so you might even have someone to talk to, unless you wanna join in, I’ll teach you to grapple,” Sunset punctuated her last statement with enough deadly seduction that even the eldest Siren blanched.

“How about you give me some private lessons, then we can double team her?” Aria deadpanned not missing a beat, and never looking up from her eggs. This caused both Sonata and Sunset to snort and begin laughing. Adagio simply sighed and and enjoyed a sip of coffee, hoping to disguise the slight blush she had developed.

* * * * *

After a lovely breakfast, and a nice warm shower in a room Sunset had dubbed The Siren’s Cove, it was time for departure. Aria took off first, shooting down the road on her motorcycle to Canterlot U. She had chosen to take college slowly, a class or two while keeping up jobs that interested her, the kind of apathy that accompanied hundreds of years, but she always found something fun to get into.

“Sona dear we’re headed out, have a good day at work,” Adagio said closing the door behind her and shaking her head. Sonata had taken to simple work in her passion, cooking, and she’d become good at it, but it led to interesting hours through the week. Sunset wrapped her eldest lover in an embrace from behind, surprisingly braving the mass of curls that had nearly killed her once.

“Mmmm Dagi, we should take my ride today, Tabitha wants to have you on her,” Sunset’s sultry and inviting tone caused the ever composed Siren to shake her head and chuckle.

“Must you always tempt me dear Sunset?” Adagio asked breathlessly, snaking her arms around Sunset’s hips, allowing her nails to ever so gently trail first. As was so often the case when Adagio played with Sunset the younger woman shuddered “Mmmm, yes very well, I suppose as long as you don’t try and impress me as Aria did, let’s ride.”

Adagio just barely finished her statement as a gleeful Sunset Shimmer lifted her into the air, and with a quickness had her bridal style, carrying the curvaceous woman to her waiting steed. With a gentle motion Sunset placed Adagio on the back of the large bike, causing Adagio to marvel at the difference in style between Sunset’s and Aria’s bikes. Aria’s bike was built for speed and control, only slightly more than the sporty bikes that young people so often fly off of being stupid. Sunset, by contrast, had what Aria had call a “hog” a tremendous beast of a machine, that easily supported Adagio, seemingly made to be ridden by two people.

“Sunset dear,” Adagio began strapping her helmet on to the protest of the malevolent sentience atop her scalp, “Why did you get such a large motorcycle?”

“Well, I like the power behind it, when I first entered the human world I kinda used my, well, talents to get Flash Sentry to do a lot for me. Honestly I feel bad looking back, but between extorting Flash, and the system that exists here I managed to save up for my first bike, inspired by Flash’s bike,” Sunset shrugged and put on her own helmet, colored in a checkered pattern, black and white.

“Ah, so your love of magic and power never really faded, you’ve just made minor substitutions,” Adagio said, chuckling at the idea of Sunset laughing maniacally atop her mighty roaring steed. In response to this Sunset simply kicked the bike into gear, and opened the throttle.

The engine roared to life, the motion taking Adagio by surprise, causing her to lean forward quickly and grab onto Sunset’s stomach. Adagio would have complained about Sunset’s obvious trick, but any complaint would have been drowned out by the roar of the engine. The machine was positively alive, shaking with well tuned power, and as Sunset pushed the machine to throttle Adagio realized just how incredibly hot this whole situation was.

“My goodness Sunny, you’re a regular cavalier, oh this is simply divine,” Adagio’s inner monologue gushed as she tightened her grip on the muscular woman.

* * * * *

Applejack was an unhappy person this morning, “Rares I’m tellin’ ya I don’t do good in these kinda things, I’m a farm gal, not a student. Not since High School anywho, I don’t see why I oughta start taking these silly agri-business classes,” AJ shook her head and pounded coffee from a thermos looking all around very modern student center of Canterlot U.

“Darling I understand your trepidation in this venture, but honestly, amongst everyone in your family’s business, there needs to be someone to keep up the business portion,” Rarity stated eloquently, never looking up from the homework she was checking. AJ may have had contempt for the academic work, but a check of her work showed that she invested the same level of work in it as in the farm.

“Girl I swear I love you, but couldn’t we just bring you on the payroll for the business expenses, cause this is gonna kill me,” The cow-girl asked, edging closer to the fashionista on the couch they occupied.

“I love you too darling, but you know very well that I have my dreams to pursue as well,” Rarity looked up from the papers, her glasses perfectly framing the pale cheeks of the sharp eyed fashion princess. Softening her gaze Rarity took Applejack’s rough, well worked hand in her own and smiled, “You are doing marvelously, I’m very proud of you ma chérie,” Rarity spoke in a low voice, punctuating the little bit of french with a gentle peck on the farm girl’s cheek.

“Aww Shucks Rares,” the now blushing AJ stammered, focusing intently on the ceiling of the overly modern building. It was at this cute little reaction that Rarity chuckled and placed the homework back in AJ’s bag and rose.

“Come now darling, off to class,” the fashionista said simply offering the tomboy a hand up. Typically this was the part where AJ took her hand, and the two of them walked to the only class they shared, but today AJ just looked past the pale skinned woman, mouth fully agape. “Darl… Oh my how scandalous,” Rarity whispered placing a hand over her mouth.

“Is that Adagio Dazzle walkin’ hand and hand with Sunset?” AJ asked with an incredulous look plastered on her face.

“Yup” Rarity said in a tone indicative of spending far too much time around Big Mac. Seeing the two women walk past the window Rarity gave AJ a mischievous look. “Let’s get up on gossip shall we dear?” at this AJ groaned, truly she was unhappy this morning.

* * * * *

“So then Trixie walks in, and I realize this chemistry class is going to be the worst. I was amazed later when i learned she makes all her own pyrotechnics. Honestly I wanna strangle that crazy chick somedays, but she has an o… Oh fuck,” Sunset stammered at the end of her story, causing Adagio to blink.

With a sudden knowing sigh Adagio shot a look behind her, seeing Sunset’s drama obsessed friend Rarity, and the well meaning but blunt farm girl AJ. “Well dear in my experience there’s only one good way to deal with this kind of issue,” Adagio said, noting the cute attempt the girls behind were giving at stealth.

Sunset, attempting to be casual, and hoping to put off conversation about this topic till a time when she had more caffeine in her system, shook her head. “Yeah, and what’s th-UMF,” Sunset began her question, immediately finding herself pinned against the sun warmed stone wall of the University’s administrative building, Adagio’s lips plated roughly over hers in a passionate kiss. Sunset immediately returned the kiss, wrapping Adagio in a firm embrace, and enjoying the feeling of heated passion coursing through their bodies.

Applejack’s face exploded into a blush, and a tremendous squee could be heard coming from the blue haired woman beside her. Clearly Rarity was thrilled to see such a juicy story unfold right before her, but for Applejack this meant one thing, a much more confusing day for her.

As Adagio pulled back from the kiss, she ran her index nail from Sunset’s cleavage to her chin, giving a sultry wink as she whispered “Seeya after class lover.” Turning from her she flashed the women that had pursued them a terribly evil grin, placing her hand on her hip and walking right gracing them with a wave before walking off in the direction of her first class.

It took Sunset a few moments to snap out of her haze, and by that point Rarity and AJ had caught up to her. “Oh, heh, hi girls, how are we this morning?” Sunset asked nervously, scratching the back of her head. For her part Sunset had managed to keep her composure pretty well, but the sparkling look in Rarity’s eyes, and the demanding one in Applejack’s made her lose it and sigh “Shall we proceed to the interrogation room then ladies?”

“Yup,” AJ said simply moving to allow Sunset to pass. opening the path for a smiling Aria to make herself known. Somehow, despite having spotted every other figure in the courtyard up to that point every girl had missed Aria, and the little tag in Adagio had given her.

“Hope you ladies don’t mind if I join ya, I wanna spend a little time before I head to work with this lovely lady,” Aria said, shocking every involved party to the point of silence as she approached Sunset and took her hand winking.

As the group of women moved on to the inevitable discussion of what the hell had happened a figured popped out from the bushes just opposite where the action had taken place. A ruffled Discord, complete with nasty shiner under his right eye now stood grinning. Albeit the action may have seemed uncharacteristic of a position as prestigious as Dean of Students, somehow not one student or faculty member passing saw this as strange.

“Oh what a glorious story I have for tonight’s dinner! I simply must have Celestia frame these and set them at the table,” Discord spoke, pushing through the numerous photographs of Sunset Shimmer becoming intimate with her significant others.

“Care to explain exactly why you’re in a bush looking at candid photographs of my favorite student Discord?” Came an icy voice behind the scheming man. There stood Luna, cracking her knuckles, looking most unfriendly despite being clad in a pantsuit.

“Oh my, dearest Lu, lovely to see you again, I suppose you’ve been there for a while no?” Discord asked, never wavering as he spoke, knowing that his doom was very likely imminent.

“Indeed,” came the cold voice.

“Well, shall we proceed to the beating then?” He asked, bending over to tie his shoes, and cracking his neck.

“Verily.” And the chase was on.

* * * * *

After at least two explanations, a number of blushes, and one Rarity fainting spell, followed by an entire day of classes Sunset was finally headed to her favorite part of the day. “Hey sunbutt, how’s the harem hangin’?” Ah yes, and Rainbow with the gentle gravitas and subtlety of a rocket launcher.

“Sup sugar tits, and right around four unless you want us to taste the rainbow,” Sunset said cracking her knuckles and warming up with the usual stretches. The other members had yet to show, and as usual the most dedicated members had arrived early.

“Heh, nah I dunno if the world is ready for that much awesome in one place,” Rainbow chuckled, presenting two pairs of gloves. Sunset knew exactly what this meant, “Yo, let’s have a warmup spar, get ready for practice tonight, and put on a show for the ladies,” Dash said, pointing a thumb behind her, where the entire group had convened, even the Dazzlings.

There was something oddly satisfying about seeing everything come together. It didn’t matter how they’d all managed to actually make this, or the exact details of what the small groups that had formed inside the larger were speaking about, today Sunset had managed to bring together her new lovers, and her old friends.

“Let’s give them something to talk about Dash,” Sunset whispered confidently, cracking her neck, and pulling the mixed martial arts style gloves over her hands. Dash did the same, moving across the mat from the flaming haired girl. “On your count,” Sunset said, drawing the attention of the women in the stands.

Everyone was at least mildly impressed by the two women staring one and other down. Clad in nothing but the standard women's sports support for their chest, and the Iron Hooves kick-boxing shorts,they looked to be professionals, warrior women made of muscle and fury, coiled like serpents prepared to strike.

“GO!” Dash shouted, both women taking two quick steps and closing the gap and moving for the first strikes of the match. Dash loaded up a jab, but was stopped in her tracks when she felt the sting of Sunset’s right leg against her left inner thigh “FUCK, how’d she-?” Dash’s train of thought was cut off as she felt her extended striking arm pass directly over Sunset’s left shoulder, where a trap was sprung on her.

Sunset had staged her hands such that she could get an immediate hold on RD’s striking arm, the second she had moved off the start Sunset had noticed she was leading for her usual machine-gun quick set of head and body blows, but now the entire force of her strike was trapped by Sunset. With a torque of her body, moving the leg that had just struck Dash’s thigh, and a grunt Rainbow was thrown over the Shoulder of Sunset Shimmer.

Sunset didn’t want a flashy fight, she didn’t need to exchange blow for blow with a military cadet. Instead she was aiming to end this one with one swift move. Dash impacted the mat with a resonating thud, arm still trapped by Sunset Shimmer, who was now spinning on her heels, and catching Rainbow’s arm on her chest, slamming her back into the ground and torquing the limb in an arm bar.

Rainbow was in a haze, pain, fear, elated dizziness, and in the middle of the rush she became aware of a loud screaming. Her own very loud screaming, “well fuck, that’s no good, guess I should tap,” Rainbow thought with far too much celerity, now aware of herself tapping furiously on the mat.

Sunset rolled off of her friend, and assisted her in standing, massaging the joint that she had just attacked to the sound of applause. “You cool Dash?” Sunset asked with a degree of genuine concern in her voice. It hadn’t necessarily been her objective to end the match in that fashion, but when one trains with Luna, one gets a talent for not messing about.

“Yeah, I’m good, jeez Sunny you ever gonna take it easy on us?” Dash chuckled, rubbing the very sore spot on her inner thigh.

“It would be improper to prepare you for any less than the worst Miss Dash,” Came the light voice of their master, leaning against the bleachers and smiling at her two over-eager students. “Now if you two are finished showing off let’s get to practicing,” Luna motioned for the students waiting behind her to file in.

“Wait, Luna,” Sunset began looking her teacher in the eyes. Luna cocked her head curiously at her most advanced student, indicating that Sunset had her attention. Even Sunset didn’t refer to Luna by just her name during practice. “Luna, I want to challenge you to a fight, full go, no holding back,” Sunset said, trying to remain calm despite her fear.

Sunset’s words sent chills up the spine of Luna, as well as the Dazzlings, “Sunset, surely you don’t intend to ask for such a thing? I’m your teacher, you are an excellent fighter, but you simply do not have my experience,” Luna said, looking deeply into her student’s eyes. Sunset simply nodded, a fierce look in her eyes. “Very well then Sunset Shimmer, tonight after practice, we shall have your first true fight,” Luna spoke with cool finality, ending the discussion there, and proceeding to teach the class a number of forms, keeping the class itself light.

* * * * *

Sunset gasped painfully, breathing was pain, moving was pain, the act of trying to see hurt. Across from her stood a panting Luna, still relatively stable, only sporting minor bruises. It had been three rounds, three straight rounds of Luna evading every hold, striking like a viper, and just generally toying with Sunset at an incredibly high technical level.

“Ok, can’t beat her, she’s too good and I’m running out of gas, gotta try to at least get a good hit in on her,” Sunset moved, no longer aware of the clock, knowing that she had just a small window to attack her teacher in. She stepped to the left of Luna launching a round kick to the older woman’s hip.

Luna hadn’t expected Sunset to rise from the knee she had taken, the last six strikes that she had endured were some of the hardest she’d ever been hit with. That said despite being caught partially off guard Luna still managed to raise her leg and partially check the kick. Sunset’s leg slid off of her shin, and landed extended in front of Luna.

Sunset smiled, taking the stance as an opportunity, and twisting her body into another kick, this time spinning her back leg directly into Luna’s unguarded ribs.Luna made a sound akin to a balloon deflating, but Sunset was clearly not finished.

As the arc of the kick ended Sunset managed to stumble back into stance, and found herself near shoulder to shoulder with Luna. Luna, having endured hits of that caliber before had quickly recovered, her control, however, had not. Luna took a step back, and dropped below Sunset’s field of vision.

Sunset didn’t have time to think, as Luna swept her, just as had happened to Bulk, but this sweep had tremendously more power. Luna completed the 360 degree rotation, and flung herself on her student. Sunset tried pathetically to guard as three knee strikes slammed into her sternum.

Adagio, Aria and Sonata had been holding back this entire time, knowing they couldn’t realistically try to intervene with a match despite the fact that Sunset was getting her ass kicked, but seeing Sunset swept to her back, and Luna prepare to mount another assault after those vicious knee strike, made every single person in attendance stand. Bulk and Rainbow were the fastest to react, and as such they were the first to see something terrifying.

Sunset couldn’t breath, her ribs were on fire, and she was seriously regretting challenging Luna to a full bore match. She knew these kinds of fights were necessary, but damn did they hurt. When she saw Luna clamber up her now grounded body, knees stealing her breath again, time slowed. Luna had gone into some manner of fight or flight mode, and it was clear the reaction she’d taken. Sunset felt her mind slowly going dark, and the last thing she remembered was the feeling of her gloves coming off.

* * * * * *

Adagio Dazzle was a hard woman to scare. She’d seen fights, she’d been in one or two in her life, but what Sunset Shimmer and Luna had just done to each other rivaled some of the worst she’d seen. Just as it seemed Luna would need torn off of Sunset, Sunset’s ungloved hand slammed into the older woman’s nose. Three times. Blood was everywhere before anyone could breathe.

Luna had seen red before, but now the red was real, she struck Sunset with a hard elbow to the head, the resounding thud made Sonata scream, Aria cradled the now trembling woman, as Adagio sprinted to the aid of Sunset Shimmer. Dash and Bulk had been so stunned by the last part of the exchange, and as a growling Luna sat atop her unconscious student she prepared for another fierce blow, her focus undividedly on Sunset, on her target.

Luna raised her elbow, and then knew nothing but darkness. Adagio Dazzle, at sprinting speed had just slammed into her. Now Luna was an accomplished fighter, but after that much trauma, even she just lay there, pinned now by Adagio, followed shortly by the much stronger Rainbow and Bulk.

* * * * *

Warm, it was so warm wherever she was, who was she anyway? “Oh yeah, Sunset Shimmer, ok well that’s who I am, but how am I so warm, and wait-” “Ack, gah what the fuck?!” Sunset sat bolt up, immediately regretting it as every painful memory flooded into her. Adagio laid her back gently, shaking her head.

“Shhh, take it easy Sunny,” The elder siren whispered patting her head. Luna stood over them, holding a small packet smelling of ammonia, smelling salts, used to bring unconscious boxers back.

“Sunset, oh Sunset, I’m so sorry,” Luna whispered, bringing her student into a soft embrace. “I should have known better, these kinds of fights always end badly, had it not been for Miss Dazzle I might have… have.” Luna lost her composure at that point and wept into her student’s arm.

Sunset looked up to Adagio, the reality hitting her harder than, well, Luna. Adagio had just saved Sunset’s bacon. “Hey, Lu,” Sunset whispered weakly, causing the blue haired brawler to look up intently “This mean I win?” Sunset punctuated the statement with a cheeky grin, and caused everyone still in the room to roll their eyes.

Luna simply smiled and nodded “Yes Sunset Shimmer, you have bested your master, by defeating my composure you have proven a more competent martial artist than I, having said that-” Luna paused, and winked “You got your ass kicked, so there’s yet work to be done.”

* * * * *

A few hours, a trip to the campus medical site, some stitches, and a lot of yelling at Sunset later saw the entire group of friends, joined by the Dazzlings for the first time, and Luna herself at sugarcube corner’s back party room. Six boxes of pizza lay about, along with a few select libations for the uninjured women, and water for the two that were sporting matching concusions.

“This isn’t fair, the nurse didn’t say I couldn’t have beer!” Sunset said exasperatedly rubbing her ribs from the exertion of speaking, and receiving a kiss on each cheek from Aria and Sonata.

“No,” They both said simply, causing the entire group to laugh, and continue conversing genially. Aria and Dash had taken to talking about how best to seek adrenaline rushes, making dirty jokes that caused Sunset to laugh each time she caught one. AJ, Pinkie, and Sonata were discussing the finer point of ingredients. Adagio had been mostly quiet, but had occasionally spoken to Rarity about an interested in commissioning her for costumes.

Sunset simply sat back, and smiled despite her injuries. Yeah she was down to light form work for the next week or two, but just seeing her friends take to her lovers made her happy. It was amazing how seamlessly it all came together, and part of Sunset was just glad to see that even after all that had transpired, her friends were still some of the most accepting people in the world.

“Sunny, can I have a word?” Came Adagio from behind her, more an order than a question. Sunset internally swore, knowing that such a boneheaded move was very likely to land her in hot water with at least one of the ladies. Expecting made the journey outside the room no easier, as Sunset prepared herself for a massive tongue lashing.

“Alright Adagio, I know I screw-” Sunset didn’t get to finish her explanation, as a pair of arms wrapped delicately around her, and Adagio Dazzle leaned into her, pressing her warm face into Sunset’s shoulder. Sunset felt her heart sink as she felt her lover shake gently with sobs.

“Sunny I do not ever care to see something so awful again,” Adagio whispered, calming down after a moment, scooting back and looking seriously into Sunset’s eyes. “I could never ask you to stop fighting, I know you somehow enjoyed that, but please Sunset, promise me you’ll be careful,” Adagio’s voice dropped to a whisper by the end and she shook for a few more second.

“Hate to mess up this moment sugarcube, but I don’t think ya need to worry,” much to the shock of Sunset and Adagio the voice of Applejack came from the door they had just exited. There she stood, smiling gently, clasping Rarity’s hand for support. “Look I aint the most well spoken gal in our group, hell I might be the least, but I’m damn sure the most honest of us,” to this Rarity gave a simple nod.

“Darling what you did tonight for Sunset was perhaps the bravest and most romantic gesture we’ve ever seen,” Rarity chimed, giving the pair a smile.

“What I’m tryin’ to say here Adagio, is that Sunset’s a great fighter, and even when she’s got herself in a world of trouble, she’s got three great gals in her corner to back her up, and the same can be said for y’all,” AJ finished sincerely, flashing the two of them a winning smile. “Y’all are awful lucky to have each other, and ya best believe we’re right in your corner too, 'cause friends stick together.”

Adagio was touched, she smiled softly at the two women, then at Sunset who was giving her a small grin, and blushing ever so noticeably. “Well we’ve made ourselves a nuisance, back to the party, see you dears back inside, ta!” Rarity said, pulling Applejack back into the cafe.

As the door closed behind the couple Adagio looked intently at Sunset. “Look, Adagio, fighting, that’s my passion, but you girls, all of you have become my life. I love you so much, and I know I sometimes do boneheaded stuff, but I’d give it all up for you.” Sunset let the words hang in the air around them. Adagio smiled, her true smile, and took in a large breath, releasing it and forming a small cloud of steam in the coming Autumn chill.

“Sunset Shimmer, you captivate me, I love watching you fight too much to ever ask you to stop, but promise me you’ll at least always let us be in your corner,” Adagio gave the fiery haired woman a hopeful look.

“Nothing would make me happier, but you damn well better do the same, I wanna help with your lives too, I wanna be part of your productions, help Aria fix stuff, and help Sonata cook. If that were to be my life from now on, well, I’d be a satisfied woman.” Sunset finished, taking Adagio’s hand in hers. Only now did Sonata and Aria choose to come out, placing their hands atop Sunset’s and smiling, tears evident in Sonata’s eyes, and barely staining Aria’s.

The three women wordlessly embraced, surrounding one and other with the love and support that would come to follow them through their days.

“She really is hot as hell when she hits stuff though,” Aria whispered, causing the entire foursome to begin giggling furiously. The giggling fit gave the group time to notice the entire group now photographing the tender moment with their phones. This caused a mass scatter, as Adagio, Aria, and Sonata all ran to try and get the girls who had violated their little moment.

Sunset smiled, leaning against the cafe as her lovers chased the offending women all over, even AJ wasn’t spared despite her lack of participation.

“Sunset… I-” Luna Stepped out, a soft worried look gracing her normally hard features, “I want to apologize again. I know it’s no excuse, but I feel as though I’ve damaged our relatio- oh!” Luna lost her words as Sunset threw her arms around the older woman and laughed. Luna had expected sadness, indifference, or any number of negative emotions, but Sunset had instead chosen laughter.

“Lu, ya whooped my ass, we both lost control, and fought like the spitting hell-cats we really are. If I weren’t so dinged up I’d tell ya I enjoyed it. So don’t apologize for beating me or not being a good teach. Just promise me you’ll keep teaching me to fight like that ok?” Sunset asked hopefully. She looked into her teacher’s eyes, and gave a somewhat worried look, the fear that Luna might abandon her evident in her eyes.

“Oh Sunset… Yes of course! We shall make the Canterlot University Iron Hooves the premier martial arts club!” Luna raised her hand, and formed a tight fist, showing off her bruised knuckles. The moonlight somehow made Luna seem all the more fierce, and Sunset swore that in the moment she looked like a true warrior goddess.

Then softening her features Luna whispered “Just keep your girlfriends around, every fighter needs a de-stressor, and you my lucky student have found three!” Luna practically squeed the last part. Sunset balked at this as Luna enveloped her in a big motherly hug “Oh my prized girl is a woman, and she has such beautiful lady friends! I’m positively over the moon for you Sunset!” Luna gushed, letting all her pride in her student out, as SUnset’s face grew redder and redder until it reached critical mass.

“See I told you, isn’t this quite the show?” Came a voice from behind the student and master, that made all blood run cold.

“I suppose you were right Discord this was amusing, shame we only got here in the last 5 minutes, Luna always has such interesting things happen in her life, and we so often miss them,” A soft, yet strong voice joined in from behind them. At this Sunset felt Luna begin to shake, this was rage pure rage, and now rather than embarrassed, Sunset was actually scared.

“Excuse me Sunset, I must now commit a double homicide,” Luna said in a tone that was far too formal, as she stepped back and facing the two sources of the prior conversation. Sunset wasn’t shocked to see Dean of Students Discord there, she was, however, incredibly surprised to see her former principal Celestia, and in something other than a pantsuit no less.

Luna said nothing for a moment, and in that moment both Celestia and Discord waved cheekily at the blue haired woman. All of the girls had stopped running about at this point, some having long since started recording the very juicy gossip unfolding before them.

“Now Luna, there’s no need, Oh goodness look a distraction!” Celestia feigned in shock pointing toward the opposite street. Everyone looked, and before it was possible to look back the two mischief makers were running fast as they could from the scene.

Luna simply smiled at Sunset and gestured goodbye, a she bolted off with blazing speed, and a war cry that made even Adagio flinch.

“Well, this has been a very strange night,” Pinkie Pie remarked, as the girls all came close to a now pale Sunset shimmer.

“The fact that you say that Pink one, worries me immensely,” Adagio casually remarked.

Author's Notes:

Phew that was a long one, but we got a good little bit done. Everybody has been introduced, and all the relationships are more or less fleshed out. From here we get to see less of the daily life of the crew, and get to focus in more on the fun times at CU, and abroad! Hope all are looking forward to it, and if any of you intrepid readers happen to read this, I want an opinion. Should I write up occasional little one-shots for some of the lesser goings on at Canterlot U? I feel like if I throw everything in my head to pen here we'll never finish! Let me know below!
Also not to brag but I totally just graduated with my bachelors from OSU! Hooray for one painful 45 grand step down, time to do adult stuff
