Chapter 1: Sunset's Obsession

Load Full Story Next Chapter


Sunset Shimmer sat at her desk and gently rubbed her fingertips together. Her teacher rattled off a string of information regarding an upcoming exam, but it was nothing more than white noise in the background as Sunset’s mind drifted further. She closed her eyes and relived the moment Twilight Sparkle’s hands grasped hers in front of the shattered school statue, rubbing her palms together and biting her tongue. I’ll never wash these hands again… she thought.

“Sunset?” A voice interrupted her thoughts. “Y’alright?”

Sunset glanced up at Applejack and smiled. “Yeah. Just a little lost in thought, I guess.”

“Alrighty then. You look like you could use some sleep,” Applejack said with a pat on her shoulder, then joined her friends exiting the classroom.

Sunset took a deep breath and leaned back in her seat, crossing her arms. She looked to her left, where Twilight sat at her desk frantically writing down details regarding the test with her pen. Sunset sighed and placed a finger in her mouth as she watched Twilight stick the back of her pen between her lips while reading over her notes.

Twilight pushed up her glasses and tightened her bun while her teeth gripped her pen, the tip of her tongue resting against it while she flipped through the pages. “Hey there,” Twilight said as she glanced to Sunset, realizing her friend was staring.

Sunset shot upright and cleared her throat. “Hey, Twilight. You about ready to go to lunch?”

Twilight nodded and smiled as she twirled her pen around, the back of it glistening with a hint of moisture. Sunset’s eyes remained locked on the writing utensil.

“Can I borrow your pen for a second?” Sunset asked as she stepped up to Twilight’s desk, who shrugged and nodded.

“Go ahead.” Twilight held the pen out and Sunset carefully accepted it, then opened her notebook.

“Just writing down a few notes about… class,” Sunset said as she doodled hearts and stars, then nonchalantly slipped the pen into her jacket pocket.

Twilight tucked her books into her backpack and seemed not to notice. “Okay! The lunch room is…” Twilight glanced back and forth. “That way, right?” She pointed to the west and shrugged as Sunset guided her to the classroom door.

“That’s right,” Sunset answered. “Just follow the hallway and you’ll see the cafeteria on the left. I have to run to the restroom first, then I’ll catch up with you guys there.”

Twilight nodded and stepped away while Sunset quickly rounded the corner and rushed into the girl’s restroom. She hurried into the back stall and pulled the pen from her pocket, then deviously giggled as chills ran up her spine. “Yes!” she squeaked.

Sunset held the pen to her nose and inhaled deeply through her nostrils. She shuddered as she bit her lip and her eyes rolled back. Her mouth watered and she pressed the pen to her lips, then slid it into her mouth. Her fingers ventured down her stomach and onto her belt buckle. As she unlatched it, she heard someone push through the bathroom door. Sunset froze and bit down on the pen.

“Doo dee doop dee doo,” a voice chirped as footsteps tapped ever closer.

Sunset let her pen hang between her lips as she waited and listened. She placed her hand on her forehead and sighed deeply. What am I doing? she wondered, taking the pen into her hand and looking it over. How did I get this… obsessed?

I have a pretty serious problem. I’m not sure when exactly all of this started, but I do know that I’m hopelessly obsessed with Twilight Sparkle, and it’s only getting worse as time goes on. Every time I see her, she captivates my mind entirely. I can’t help but stare at every little detail, from the way she plays with her hair when she’s nervous to the way she bites her thumb when she’s unsure. I see the sweat glistening on her forehead when she feels hot, and I feel her breath slipping into my chest when she talks to me.

I’m completely crazy about her, but any time I try to say something or make a move on her, I end up doing something completely ridiculous and make a fool out of myself. I need something to happen soon or I’m gonna lose my damn mind. I need to taste her. At this point, I’m ready to do just about anything to make her mine.

~Sunset’s Obsession~

“Ah-ha!” Sunset jumped off the toilet and fastened her belt. “I’ll write her a song!”

She blushed as she heard someone clear her throat in the stall next to her. Tucking the pen in her back pocket, she exited the restroom and headed towards the cafeteria. She grabbed herself a greasy taco and took a seat next to Fluttershy, directly across from Twilight.

“Nice of you to join us,” Rarity said with a wink. “You’ve been late to lunch nearly everyday, darling. When are you going to share with us what has you so distracted lately?”

“It’s nothing, really.” Sunset waved Rarity down. “I just have a lot on my mind, is all.”

Fluttershy put her hand on Sunset’s shoulder. “Tell us what’s bothering you… if you want to.”

“Yeah. You can tell us anythin’. Let us help out if we can,” Applejack added.

Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie glanced to each other before nodding together.

Twilight lowered her head and looked up through her glasses, a loose lock of hair falling over one eye--one of two big, beautiful purple eyes that twinkled with all the purity and innocence the world had to offer. “I know I’m still pretty new to the group, but I’d be happy to hear out whatever it is you want to get off your chest, Sunset.”

Sunset’s eye twitched as the taco meat fell from its shell onto her tray. If only I could, she thought. “I just have something that I really need to say… or do, I mean. I don’t know how to do it or say it, though. I was thinking of writing a song, but that’s a little silly, if not a little cliché. You know?”

Each of her friends glanced at each other, shrugging and scratching their heads.

“Uhm, you’re gonna have to be a little more specific if you want us to help,” Rainbow Dash said.

“She’s right.” Rarity nodded and placed a finger to her chin. “I’m happy to help you try and figure out whatever it is you need to, dear, but you haven’t really given us much to go on.”

Sunset’s eyes wandered to Twilight’s lips as a baby carrot slipped into her mouth with a crunch. “It means a lot to me that you guys care so much, but this is something I’m going to have to take care of on my own. Thanks, though.”

Rainbow Dash shrugged and stood up. “Well good luck with that.”

“If you change your mind, Sunset, I’ll be here for you. Anytime you want to talk…” Rarity smiled and placed her hand on top of Sunset’s.

“Same here!” Pinkie Pie shouted, then inflated a balloon with one deep breath. “Balloons always cheer me up. Here, have this one!”

Pinkie gave the large pink balloon to Sunset, who took it with a chuckle. “Thanks, Pinkie.”

Uninflated balloons rained down on the seven girls as Pinkie emptied her pockets of them. Twilight giggled and grabbed a purple one, then stuck it in her mouth to inflate it. Sunset grabbed one of her own and squeezed it while she watched Twilight’s grow larger and larger.

“Pick these up, Pinkie. We can’t have ya tossin’ junk around and makin’ messes and whatnot.” Applejack huffed and forced Pinkie to begin cleaning her mess.

Sunset’s eyes partially closed as she watched Twilight struggle to tie the balloon off with a knot. “Here, let me get that.”

Twilight blushed and handed the untied balloon over, carefully keeping the air trapped inside with her fingertips. Sunset leaned over the table and grasped onto Twilight’s fingers with hers, quivering as she felt them slip away, leaving only the balloon behind. Sunset tied the knot and subtly rubbed her fingertips around the moist mouthpiece.

“Please feel better,” Rarity said as she stood up and left to empty her tray.

Sunset nodded and hugged the balloon while Fluttershy patted her head and walked away as well. Only her and Twilight remained at the table, who began to play with a long lock of her hair.

“Nervous?” Sunset asked.

“What? Not at all.” Twilight stroked her hair harder and glanced from side to side. “I uh… I should be going too. We have class.”

You are so damn amazing, Sunset thought, a part of her wishing she could force the words out of her mouth. “I’ll walk with you, if you don’t mind.”

“Of course not.” Twilight smiled and stood up with her empty tray.

“I’m gonna finish this taco, then I’ll be out.” Sunset waved with her fingertips and smiled.

As Twilight walked away, Sunset bit down on the tied off end of the balloon, chewing the thick rubber with her front teeth. She then used her teeth to puncture a small hole and let the air from within flow into her mouth. She closed her eyes, then hugged the balloon and forced the stream to flow faster as she swirled her tongue around the air pressure. Before she knew it, the balloon was empty, and she opened her eyes.

“Eh… that’s a little weird, Sunset. What are you doing?” Twilight asked with a finger to her lip.

Sunset cringed and lowered her eyes, her cheeks turning red. “I...uhm… this?” she asked as she held the wrinkly deflated rubber up with a shaky hand. “I was just trying to untie the knot for no reason in particular and I accidentally popped it.”

Twilight’s eyes narrowed and her brow furrowed. “If you say so.”

Good going idiot! You just couldn’t contain yourself! Sunset thought as she forced her palm against her face. “I’m really sorry, Twilight. I… I don’t know what to say. I didn’t mean to weird you out.”

Twilight looked down at the balloon and softened her eyes. “I’m okay, but I can’t help but wonder whether or not this has anything to do with the distraction you mentioned earlier.”

Sunset bit her lip and covered her face with both hands. “Can we talk somewhere a little more private?”

Twilight gulped and took a step back, her cheeks getting hot. “Okay? Why?”

“I’ve tried to have this talk so many times before but something always comes up and throws it all off. I guess I just let things get a little carried away, and things are spinning out of control pretty quickly for me.” Sunset stood up and straightened her coat, then turned towards the hallway doors.

Twilight’s eyes immediately locked onto Sunset’s rear end, a large black stain covering one of her cheeks. “Sunset… I… heh.”

“What it is?” Sunset asked, glancing back.

“I think you might have sat in something.” Twilight covered her mouth and giggled.

Sunset’s face turned bright red as she reached back and felt a wetness, then saw her fingers covered in black ink. I just can’t win… she thought.

“Hey wait.” Twilight held out her hand as Sunset ran through the doors and down the hallway, then sighed and followed.

Sunset quickly ran into the gym’s locker room and opened her locker. She pulled out a pair of shorts and tennis shoes from within and wiped a stray tear. Why do these things keep happening to me? What’s going on? she wondered as she unbuckled her boots and kicked them off, then peeled off her socks.

She then shimmied out of her pants and slipped into the shorts before putting on her spare shoes, her boots resting on the floor next to her as she sulked.

Twilight opened the door and slowly walked up to Sunset, who forced herself to swallow her emotions. “You okay?” Twilight asked.

“Yeah. Just a little embarrassed… as usual.” Sunset buried her face in her knees and sighed.

“It’s no big deal… I’m a little disappointed that I won’t be getting my pen back, though.” Twilight giggled and lifted a broken half of her writing utensil from the bench.

“I’m so sorry, Twilight. I completely forgot that I had it in my back pocket, and I just…” Sunset groaned and gritted her teeth. “I feel like I’m cursed.”

“What? Cursed?” Twilight skeptically asked. “Curses are ridiculous nonsense. You’re just having a bad day, is all.”

“You’re probably right. It just feels like the worst possible luck at the worst possible times,” Sunset said. “I mean seriously? I sat on a pen and ruined my favorite pair of jeans.”

Twilight shrugged and pushed her glasses up. “Well honestly it could have been worse. I mean imagine if the plastic had punctured your jeans and stabbed into you. Wouldn’t that be worse luck?”

“Yeah and then there could be an earthquake that collapses the school and a meteorite lands directly on top of me leaving nothing but a smoldering crater.” Sunset scoffed and rolled her eyes. “It can always be worse, but that doesn’t mean isn’t the worst to me right now.”

“You have a point. I’m sorry, Sunset.” Twilight sighed and sat down next to her friend, resting her hand on her shoulder.

Sunset’s eyes shot wide open as she stared at her bare knees, the gentle hand causing her heart to quicken. “I don’t see how things can get any more embarrassing, so do you mind if we just go ahead and have that talk now?”

Twilight stared at her own hand and nodded. “I don’t see why not.”

Sunset took a deep breath and sat upright. “I like you, Twilight.”

Twilight smiled and nodded. “I like you, too, Sunset.”

“No, no.” Sunset shook her head and cringed. “I mean, I really, really like you a lot.”

“Oh…” Twilight blushed and pulled her hand back. “I see.”

Sunset grimaced and bit down on her fingertips. “I’m sorry. I know that’s a big piece of information to just throw out there, but I’m all out of ideas on how to handle this anymore.”

“So, what makes you like me? I know we’ve been through a lot together, but I honestly don’t know you very well.” Twilight glanced away and fidgeted with her fingers.

“I’m really not sure, Twilight.” Sunset shook her head and looked back down. “There’s just something about you that sucks me in and I can’t get away or clear my head. I’ve had a crush before, but this is so far beyond that.”

Twilight stood up and took several steps backwards. “That is so…”

“So crazy, I know,” Sunset completed the thought.

“No. Not crazy,” Twilight bit her lip and looked over Sunset. “Fascinating.”

Sunset perked up and scratched her head. “You can’t be serious.”

“Yeah… well…” Twilight blushed profusely and failed to make eye contact. “I sorta, kinda feel the same way. I thought I was being ridiculous at first, but now I think this is actually starting to make some sense.”

Sunset stood up with hot cheeks and stomped on the concrete floor. “I just sucked the air out of a balloon you inflated and stole your pen because I saw it in your mouth! You have no idea what I was about to do with it, either. How is any of this making any sense to you whatsoever?!”

Ring Ring, the school bell chimed.

Twilight gulped and shook her head. “I really should be getting to class. I’ll explain after school. Just know that you’re…” Twilight stopped and sighed, her eyes wide and starry. Absolutely wonderful, she thought.

“That I’m what?” Sunset asked.

“That you’re… not alone in this. I’ve been conducting some experiments, but those will change now that I know the pull we’re feeling is mutual.” Twilight forced a wide smile before she turned around and ran into the hallway.

Sunset slumped down to the floor, leaning against the lockers. She hugged her knees and bit her lip. “What in the world is going on?”
