Despite Sunset's own wishes, she was growing used to a constant, faint susurrus of prayer in the back of her mind. It didn't actually interfere with anything, and was simple to tune out. Her own higher senses made sure she paid attention to those entreaties that she truly needed to answer through the same continuity-twisting methods that let her honorary castle-cousin alert Princess Twilight about friendship emergencies. Those prayers got amplified for the benefit of both the tiny sliver of her trying to live a normal life and the supplicant. Still, that didn't mean Sunset had to like the background noise.

Taking that into account, Trixie walking up to the Rainbooms' lunch table and proclaiming "Where is Trixie's isekai adventure?" for the whole cafeteria to hear could be seen as a welcome contrast.

Sunset, for her part, just blinked at Trixie for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry, what?"

"Trixie will not accept your apology without an explanation, Sunset Shimmer," Trixie trixied, crossing her arms trixily. "Trixie distinctly recalls the latest episode of your vlog, wherein you discussed how reality was patching itself together with bits and pieces of other worlds, some of which are reflected in pop culture."

Twilight sighed. "I told you that episode was a bad idea."

Sunset gave her a sidelong look. "Only after the comments started coming in. We agreed that people deserved to know when we made it."

"Yes, when I foolishly assumed that the majority of people could handle that kind of knowledge."

"Trixie is still here," said Trixie.

"So?" answered Rainbow Dash.

Rarity scoffed, keeping it down to under two seconds. "Really, Rainbow, there's no call for rudeness."

"Isn't there?"

Applejack spoke up before Trixie could. "Pretty sure Sunset ain't takin' custom orders, Trixie. An' what th' hay is 'ee-suh-kai'?"

"It's an anime subgenre where someone gets whisked away from their mundane life and enters a fantastic world, with varying amounts of adventure, romance, and wish fulfillment." Fluttershy gave a small pout as she took in everyone else's incredulous stares. "I do have hobbies besides animals."

"So it's basically the opposite of Sunset's life," said Twilight. Sunset snorted with laughter at that, playfully punching Twilight's shoulder.

Trixie stomped her foot on the linoleum. "And Trixie wants to know when she gets her turn!"

Sunset held up a hand. "Okay, first of all, we've already had multiple people find themselves in more magical realms. Ditzy Doo came back under her own power, thankfully, but Indigo Zap had to be rescued."

"And it wasn't easy," added Fluttershy.

"Secondly, why do you even need to go somewhere more magical? The magic came to you."

"And everyone else, especially you!" Trixie threw up her hands, sending a colorful string of handkerchiefs flying up only to land limply on her hat. "How is Trixie supposed to be the heroine of her own story when a god and her angels eat lunch three tables down from me?"

Sunset squirmed at that. Fluttershy narrowed her eyes. "You just want the harem fantasy, don't you?"

"It would be a nice bonus," Trixie said without a pause.

"And that would be the point friendship outweighs shame."

"Wha— Fuchsia!"

Fuchsia Blush shook her head as she began dragging Trixie back to their table, the point of one ear pinched in her magic. "Come on, Trix, it's for your own good."

"Gah! These things are sensitive!"

As the cafeteria crowd shifted focus to the Illusions' antics, Pinkie said, "Are we sure Trixie doesn't already have a harem?"

"Trixie likes guys!" cried Trixie.

Lavender Lace, still seated at their table, gave a mournful nod.
