That next morning, Sunset had decided to give some of her old friends a call for advice on her date with Twilight, however as she learned from Twilight Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy had eloped and joined the military. So she was unable to see them in person, but after getting dressed properly, Sunset sat herself in front of her MacBook and adjusted herself before setting up a video call via Discord.

She waited a few seconds for Rainbow and Fluttershy to pick up, but sure enough, before Sunset knew it, there on her screen was a familiar looking wild multi-color haired woman in an army uniform sitting next to a timid looking woman with her hands placed in her lap. Both waved at Sunset with smiles on their faces.

“Well, I’ll be damned, Sunset Shimmer lives…” Rainbow stated, a smug look appearing on her face.

Rolling her eyes, Sunset tried to not let Rainbow see how much the comment affected her. “You’re looking well, green suits you.”

Rainbow laughed and nodded. “Yeah, army life is pretty interesting. Definitely a great way to keep in shape, though judging by your arms… I’d say you are having no issue with that…”

“I keep a regular work out routine…” Sunset shrugged.

“Also really digging the new look for you. It’s more gothic, but it suits you.” Rainbow gave a thumbs up to show her approval.

Fluttershy gave a nod as well. “You definitely look pretty…”

Chuckling, Sunset nodded. “Thanks guys. I appreciate that.”

“So besides joining the army and eloping… What’s new in your world?” Sunset asked.

Rainbow chuckled. “Wish I could tell you, but a lot of my job is classified and I really should disclose too much. However, Fluttershy here is getting her veterinarian degree, right, babe?”

Fluttershy nodded modestly. “Yes, well… It’s not that big of a deal…”

“She’s just being timid and modest, it’s actually pretty impressive, she got accepted into the best veterinarian school in the country.” Rainbow winked as she nudged her wife affectionately.

Sunset was actually legitimately impressed. Fluttershy was neither the best nor worst student in high school, so to hear that she was accepted into such a prestigious school meant that she definitely applied herself harder than usual.

“That’s fantastic news, Fluttershy. I’ll be sure to visit you any time I’m having any trouble with Moon.” Sunset winked back.

Fluttershy blushed and nodded. “How is the little darling?”

Sunset chuckled at the thought. “Moon? He’s as loyal as ever, he’s kind of like my babysitter in a way. He keeps his eye on me to make sure I don’t do anything stupid, that’s for sure. You can definitely count on him in a tough situation.”

“What a good little boy…” Fluttershy clasped her hands together as she gushed at her love of animals.

“Good thing too, babysitting you is a full-time job,” Rainbow joked.

“Har har, well it’s good to hear from you both anyway…” Sunset stated.

“Likewise, but I’m assuming there is a reason you called us?” Rainbow raised a curious brow, clearly already catching on that Sunset seldom did things without hidden intentions.

“Am I that easy to read?” Sunset blushed.

“Well, I can’t say that you’ve always been actually for the most part you’re pretty complicated to even understand sometimes…” Rainbow explained quietly.

Sunset frowned as she was informed that she apparently was difficult to deal with sometimes. It certainly wasn’t something she did intentionally.

“Well… I apologize… It’s never my intention to be so… difficult…” Sunset looked away shamefully.

Rainbow shook her head and waved her hand. “Don’t worry about it, a little mystery isn’t inherently a bad thing.”

“Anyway, back to what I was asking about… There is another reason for you calling us, right Sunset?” Rainbow changed the subject back to the initial topic.

“Oh… Well… Yes… Sort of anyway…” Sunset blushed once more as she struggled to maintain eye contact. “I have a… Well… I have a date…”

“Oooooo, now this is interesting, Sunset Shimmer has a boyfriend finally?” Rainbow grinned as she leaned in closer with intrigue. “Details, details!”

Rolling her eyes, she realized she should have expected such a reaction from Rainbow. As much as she tried to convince people otherwise, she was in fact, a bigger gossip than Rarity.

“It’s… Not a boy…” Sunset sighed.

“Playing for the winning team then? I’m proud, girl!” Rainbow placed a hand on her chin and nodded approvingly, causing Fluttershy to sigh and shake her head at how embarrassing her wife was being.

“It’s not like that…” Sunset shook her head.

“So you’re not a lesbian then?” Rainbow tilted her head.

“What? No… I’m… I don’t really know what I am, but all I do know is that I can find things attractive in many different people…” Sunset explained.

Shrugging, Rainbow seemed to not quite understand, but she decided to keep the conversation moving regardless, not wanting to get hung up on such a small detail. “So who is the date with?”

“Twilight,” Sunset replied.

Fluttershy gasped and covered her mouth. “Oh my!”

“We were wondering when you two would hook up!” Rainbow grinned.

Sunset’s eye twitched slightly as she now became aware that her friends had secretly been hoping Twilight and she got together. A part of her wanted to ask how long this had been going on, but she thought better of it and kept that as unexplored territory.

“R-right… Anyway…” Sunset began to speak again but was cut off by Rainbow.

“So you two finally did the nasty huh?” Rainbow smirked.

“W-what!?” Sunset exclaimed.

“Oh you ruined her for boys forever didn’t you? You dog! I’m proud of you!” Rainbow chuckled.

“I di-“ Sunset didn’t get a chance to finish that sentence.

“I bet you put that pussy in a coma, didn’t you!?” Rainbow asked before making an obscene hand gesture where she stuck her tongue between her index and middle finger, making a few quick lapping motions with it.

When she finished with her hand gesture, she clapped her hands together and laughed. “Oh, you stud!”

“Rainbow!” Sunset growled.

Silence filled the room as Rainbow’s laughter ceased abruptly and looked directly at the screen to see Sunset. She took note of the serious demeanor on the girl’s face.

“It’s not like that, I said. Twilight and I haven’t done anything like that… We kissed, sure but this date is sort of a… See where things go thing, I suppose?” Sunset explained.

Frowning, Rainbow took a pouting stance. “Well, that’s lame… Did you at least slip her the tongue?”

Fluttershy nudged Rainbow’s shoulder. “Rainbow…”

Rolling her eyes, Rainbow sighed. “Alright, alright, I’ll back off…”

“I swear, you are like the biggest horn dog that I know…” Sunset rolled her eyes back at the soldier.

“When I’m surrounded by such beautiful ladies, how can I not be?” Rainbow grinned.

“You’ve got me there…” Sunset chuckled.

“So what about your date with Twilight did you want to talk about?” Fluttershy interrupted before their conversation could devolve back into more smut talk.

Sunset fidgeted with the hem of her top as she tried to think of the best way to word her concerns.

“Well like… I’ve only really been on dates with Flash, and that was some time ago… On top of that, he kind of controlled it all, so I didn’t have to do much… I was hoping for… Maybe some advice…?” Sunset smiled sheepishly.

Fluttershy leaned back and looked up in thought. After a few seconds of thinking, she shrugged. “I guess… Just be yourself?”

“Fluttershy is right… As lame of advice as that is, it’s very very true. I can’t say I know much about how one would go about a date with Twilight, but my general advice is if it ends with a kiss and plans for another date then you did alright…” Rainbow added.

“Well, that helps me if I don’t fuck everything up, but how do I go about not fucking everything up…” Sunset raised a brow.

“I don’t know… I guess just to avoid awkward conversation topics or something? My mom always said don’t talk about politics or work, but I’m going to take a wild guess and say you don’t have a lot to say on those subjects, huh?” Rainbow asked.

Sunset merely shook her head.

“Thought so… I guess everything should be fine so long as you don’t like… Call your waitress a cunt or something…?” Rainbow shrugged.

Fluttershy rolled her eyes at her wife and looked away with a playful smile. The contrast between the two was astounding. One was a vulgar, rude horndog, and the other was a shy, timid, well-mannered lady almost. It really was true: opposites really do attract. Somehow it was cute though. Sunset just hoped that Fluttershy’s patience would hold out.

“We’re actually happy that you’re just trying to reconnect with people, Sunset…” Rainbow stated, her tone turning more serious. “It’s been a while since Shimmer died, and I know it’s been rocky for you for some time… We wanted to be there to help you, but you kind of closed us out and we sort of had our own things going on, so we had to leave… It’s great to hear from you again, and better to find out that you’re okay.”

Sunset blinked and grew silent.

“Not gonna lie, we thought you may have killed yourself or something…” Rainbow frowned as the topic became somewhat gruesome.

Sunset couldn’t find the words to speak. She didn’t know how to respond to that.

“Don’t be a stranger,” Rainbow commanded.

Blinking, Sunset looked back at the screen and nodded. “R-right… I promise I’ll try harder.”

“Please take care of yourself, Sunset…” Fluttershy reminded, a sugary smile coming to her face.

Seeing Fluttershy smile put Sunset a little more at ease. She nodded and smiled back. “Right, I’m doing my best, but I I’ll keep doing all I can to take the best care of myself that I can.”

“That’s what I like to hear…” Fluttershy nodded approvingly.

“Well, good luck with your date with Twilight, and if you score, let me know! I’ll buy you a beer when we come back to the states to celebrate!” Rainbow winked.

Rolling her eyes once more, Sunset nodded and waved as she ended the call with her friends.

She sighed contently as she took in their advice. While it wasn’t the most helpful in the world, it at least brought her some peace knowing that her friends supported her. Perhaps that was enough.

Twilight had found herself once again at the abode of Rarity and Applejack to seek advice for her date with Sunset. Since Rarity was the fashion expert of the group, Twilight felt it was only fitting to consult her about what to wear on a date, also given that she was the romance expert of the group, it was probably also fitting to seek her counsel on what to do to make sure her evening with Sunset goes smoothly.

Applejack sat with a chair backward watching Rarity go through various outfits, trying to pick out something that would not only look great on Twilight, but would also turn Sunset’s head.

“Hmmm, something that makes that butt of yours really stand out…” Rarity thought out loud.

Twilight blushed and covered her rear with her hands, trying to make it less noticeable. “I-is it really that noticeable…?”

Rarity nodded. “It’s a good thing, it’s an asset, Twilight. My recommendation is also to wear a bra that crosses in the back to create a bit more cleavage. Every little bit counts when increasing one’s sex appeal.”

“B-but… I’m not trying to… Do that…” Twilight’s blush had grown, causing Applejack to chuckle.

“Shucks, Twilight. Yer’ face is about as red as a red delicious.” Applejack snickered.

Applejack’s commentary definitely wasn’t helping Twilight feel more at ease about the situation, or less embarrassed.

“Twilight, you’ve had feelings for Sunset for some time, there’s no shame in jumping right to the passionate side of things as it were. You’re both adults, and I am more than happy to loan you some reading material if it will help, and some lingerie if that will assist in getting your prey into the bedroom, so to speak,” Rarity lectured.

Twilight wasn’t even sure if she was mentally prepared for a sexual encounter, even with Sunset. While it was true that she’d have a hard time saying no if the offer was presented, she personally felt like she’d lock up the moment things got too steamy. Even in Twilight’s dreams, she wasn’t that bold.

“I… I don’t know if I’m ready for that…” Twilight admitted bashfully.

Rarity sighed and continued to finger through hangers to find that perfect ensemble for her nerdy friend. “Nonsense, you’re out of high school and in college now. You’re more than ready, you just need to have the right outfit so you feel confident. Trust me on this, when you feel sexy, you begin to ooze confidence.”

“Must be why Rare is confident all the damn time…” Applejack smirked as she watched Rarity work, her eyes drawn to the woman’s butt.

“You better believe it, and don’t think I haven’t caught you staring at my ass, Applejack Apple.” Rarity squinted and glared at Applejack from the corner of her eye.

“What can ‘Ah say? Y’all got some great stuff goin’ on there…” Applejack replied with an even larger grin.

“Darling, we have a guest. Do I need to spray you off?” Rarity reminded.

Applejack only chuckled at her wife’s banter and continued observing her (or staring at her butt).

“I just want this date with Sunset to go well, that’s all. Whatever happens, well it happens, but I’m more concerned about if I’m making the right choice here…” Twilight frowned as she admitted it, her eyes focused on the floor in front of her.

She had felt somewhat strange about having a crush on her best friend for some time. A part of her originally felt guilty for thinking of Sunset in such inappropriate ways, but another part of her wanted to make those fantasies into a reality, but she struggled to admit it to herself. She wondered if Sunset was even ready for anything like this, given her state in the past two years.

Sunset had been in a downward slump for some time, only recently coming out of it. Was it fair of Twilight to take advantage of that and try to seduce her? Was Sunset even emotionally stable enough to handle romance at this point?

“Twilight, you followed your heart, there’s nothing to be ashamed of with that, and I don’t see why you’re being so defeatist here. You kissed Sunset and she didn’t stop you, she actually kissed you back. What’s more is that she agreed to go on a date with you, why can’t you just enjoy what you have acquired rather than worry about how it can all go wrong, darling?” Rarity pointed out as she lifted a shirt off of the rack, examined it for a few seconds, adjusted her glasses and then shook her head and promptly returned it to the rack as she continued her search.

“Well, it’s just… Shimmer’s death really shook Sunset up. It caused her a lot of turmoil and I’m not entirely sure if she’s over that completely… I know she misses her and she’s just trying to put on a strong face, but I worry that she hasn’t really opened up to anyone about how she feels about that…” Twilight frowned.

Pausing, Rarity looked over at Applejack, who nodded at her wife before coming to a full stand. The tall girl towering over Twilight as she approached and crouched down to her knees to be at Twilight’s level as the bookworm sat on a chair. Applejack’s adorable freckled face only inches from Twilight’s.

The farmer reached forward and placed both of her hands on Twilight’s shoulders as she locked eyes with Twilight. Twilight grew quiet and nearly held her breath as she waited on Applejack’s words.

“Then be that person, let her open up to you,” Applejack said plainly.

Twilight blinked but then grinned as she took in Applejack’s words. “Of course…” She began, “leave it to Applejack to find a way to make it all so simple and obvious…”

Applejack nodded and released Twilight as she stood up. “Ain’t it the truth. Y’all would be lost without me!”

“Or maybe we’d be able to get more work done…” Rarity smirked as she looked at Twilight with a wink.

“Hey!” Applejack protested.

“Kidding, darling, you know I love you.” Rarity shot Applejack a sincere smile, which seemed to calm her quite quickly.

“You two make a cute couple…” Twilight complimented.

“Like a beast and the beauty kinda’ way?” Applejack chuckled.

“Applejack, you are not a beast!” Rarity huffed.

“Who said ‘Ah was the beast?” Applejack smirked.

“Well, I never!” Rarity turned away and pointed her nose upward with a “hmph!”

“Kiddin’.” Applejack chuckled.

Twilight found herself giggled at the two of them. It was so clear that they were obviously madly in love. Applejack would do anything for Rarity, and Rarity for Applejack. They were so comfortable around each other that they could engage in this kind of banter even in front of guests and not be shy about it. Applejack could appreciate what Rarity did for a living even if it wasn’t something that Applejack herself took any interest at all in.

It was the kind of relationship she had hoped for with Sunset.

“So… you really think there’s even a chance that Sunset and I will…” Twilight paused, trying to think of the best way to word it, “hook up?”

“It’s always possible, that is why you must always be prepared!” Rarity nodded.

“Well… I guess… I guess some lingerie wouldn’t hurt…” Twilight blushed.

“Say no more! You will look absolutely ravishing when I am done with you! You’ll turn heads and catch Sunset’s eyes,” Rarity exclaimed.

Twilight nodded, even though she was a bit nervous about things going to that level, a part of her was excited. So much was riding on this date.

The evening had finally come, and Sunset had prepared herself in an outfit that she would call “classic”. She had decided to go with a familiar light green top with lacy sleeves and her leather jacket. Despite being Summer, in the evening it was cool enough to wear jeans, so Sunset found herself wearing a pair of black shredded jeans, that were exceptionally form complimenting, given Sunset’s exercise routine, they hugged her behind quite nicely. She knew she’d be getting no complaints from Twilight.

Her car pulled up to Twilight’s house and Sunset checked her makeup in the mirror. Her mascara seemed to be fine, and after another second or so of examination, she flipped the vanity mirror back up and honked the horn of her Audi to get Twilight’s attention.

No sooner than eight seconds after Sunset honked the horn did Twilight come out of the house wearing something that Sunset could only describe as, interesting. A white dress with a black belt around her waistline, thin straps in its design and gladiator sandals on her dainty feet. She walked somewhat awkwardly in them, clearly not used to them, but they definitely looked appealing on her.

Sunset noted the purple bra straps that were easily visible, internally smirking at how Twilight continued to wear purple bras after Sunset’s comment, though she was curious if she had the panties to match.

She devoured the girl with her eyes as Twilight opened the car door and sat down, resting her hands in her lap.

“Hello,” she said.

“Hey, good lookin’, what’s cookin’?” Sunset grinned.

Twilight blushed and played with a strand of loose hair. “Is it… Too much?”

Sunset shook her head. “Nah, you look great. Really cute. For once I’m not the one overdressed…”

“You look great…” Twilight said.

Sunset grinned. “Thanks, I decided to just try and be somewhat casual, you know? I didn’t want to make this a really pressuring thing… Just… keep it as normal as possible, see what happens, you know? Clearly though by looking at you, I should have dolled up.”

“I’ll be honest… I’m still not very good at this… date thing… I went on my fair share with Timber, but I never really knew what to do or say…” Twilight admitted.

“Me either, Flash and I were kind of a platonic relationship really…” Sunset shrugged.

“Then… Would it be… Too bold if I asked to kiss you?” Twilight’s face turned red as she fidgeted with her fingers.

Rolling her eyes, Sunset leaned closer. “Bold would be if you didn’t ask…”

“Oh…” Twilight nodded.

“And… I suppose… That’d be cool, I mean it’s not like we haven’t before, right? Plus like… I liked kissing you,” Sunset said.

Twilight nodded and looked over at Sunset, her gorgeous eyes staring right at her, everything Twilight ever wanted from the girl right in front of her. All of Sunset’s attention and focus was on her, and there she was wanting to kiss her, Twilight Sparkle! It was almost too good to be true. Twilight hoped that if she was dreaming she wouldn’t wake up.

Nervously leaning in, Twilight closed her eyes and puckered her lips, inching ever so close to the alternative girl. Before they knew it, their lips touched, and like magnets, they pulled closer to get more out of the kiss, as if both of them had been waiting the entire time they got into the car to engage in such an activity.

Twilight relaxed her body and allowed Sunset to lead, not really the dominating type herself. Sunset ran a hand down Twilight’s cheek and rested it on her neck as she pulled the girl in, their lips smacking violently as their tongues wrestled and thrashed about.

All Twilight could do was moan gently and let Sunset have her fill. She wanted the girl to take all she wanted, she wanted to give her all she needed. Twilight wanted to be enough to fill Sunset’s desires, enough to please her.

Twilight scooted a bit closer to the edge of her seat to get closer to Sunset. Sunset detected what she wanted and undid her own seatbelt so she could pull Twilight closer.

“Maybe… We should… Get going…?” Sunset tried to say between lip-smacking.

“Mmm-mmm… Just… A little more… I’ve waited for this… Forever…” Twilight admitted as she managed to get out of her seat and climb onto Sunset’s lap, running her hands through her wild red hair. It was soft to the touch, proper hair maintenance was clearly something that Sunset partook in. It was unsurprisingly thick and full.

Sunset decided not to complain, but instead to enjoy it as her hands found their way onto Twilight’s hips as she held the girl there on her lap. Their kiss still ongoing, the passion only intensifying.

“You’re… A great kisser… Sunset…” Twilight managed to get out.

Sunset’s hands ran up Twilight’s back and rested there as the kiss finally broke. Both girls panted softly as they stared into each other’s eyes. Sunset was the one to break the silence. “Maybe we should… Go to the restaurant… Before we get all hot and bothered…”

“R-right…” Twilight blushed as she climbed off of Sunset and back into her seat. She blushed deeper when she realized that her panties were slightly wet. The excitement from their little make-out session clearly having more of an effect than she had hoped. If they had hoped to get to the restaurant without being “hot and bothered”, it was a bit too late for that, at least on Twilight’s part.

“I… Guess we were both kind of pent-up, huh?” Sunset asked as she started the car and reattached her seatbelt.

“Y-yeah…” Twilight nodded.

“I have to admit… You look good on my lap though…” Sunset smirked.

“You’re such a pervert…” Twilight looked out the window, trying to hide her extremely flushed face.

“All jokes aside… That actually was pretty fun…” Sunset admitted as she kept her eyes on the road.

“Oh?” Twilight asked, looking in Sunset’s direction.

“Yeah, hell I’m still shocked anyone would want to kiss me…” Sunset chuckled.

“Why’s that? You’re beautiful, Sunset… A lot of people think you’re hot…” Twilight pointed out.

Sunset laughed and nodded. “Yeah, I know but they are either too afraid to approach me or think I’m weird. Having millions of dollars certainly hasn’t helped. People get really awkward when they know I have money, thus why I try to keep a low profile in public. Though sometimes I splurge a little…”

“I’ve wanted to kiss you for a while… Long before you got money even,” Twilight admitted.

“Well, I’m glad you finally did then.” Sunset winked.

“So, this whole date thing… It’s not weird is it?” Twilight changed the subject, though she definitely felt that she could go on for hours about kissing Sunset.

Sunset raised a curious brow. “Weird? Why would it be weird?”

“Well, we’ve been best friends for a long time, a change in dynamic is often very vexing on relationships between people. When people become used to something, and that something changes it can often cause psychological disparity…” Twilight explained.

Sunset giggled at Twilight’s textbook explanation. “I love it when you talk nerdy…”

Twilight blushed and looked down at her lap.

“Anyway, to me I just see it as a natural progression, you know? We were friends for a long time, and now we’re trying out something different.” Sunset shrugged.

Twilight was at least relieved that Sunset didn’t find the situation odd or awkward, that fact alone her mind at some ease.

“So I guess you wanted to pay for all of this?” Sunset asked, trying to keep the conversation moving.

“Oh… Yes. If you don’t mind, I don’t want you to get the impression that I am going to let you pay for everything or that I just want to take advantage of all of your money or something…” Twilight blushed.

Sunset nodded. “I understand, but if in time I get more comfortable spending money on you, I only ask that you let it happen and not fight me on it? I promise if I give you something, it’s because it’s a gift, not because I have any intentions of you paying me back, alright?”

Twilight wanted to object, knowing that Sunset could easily buy her things well beyond what she could give the girl in return, but decided to keep her mouth shut so as to not start an argument on their first date.

“I… I guess, but please nothing too extravagant, okay? Nothing that I wouldn’t be able to give you in return, alright?” Twilight pleaded.

Sunset had expected an answer like that, and she nodded in agreement. “Sounds fair. So, what exactly are the boundaries here? Anything we’re just not supposed to do?”

Twilight blinked and shrugged. “Let’s just… Do what feels natural and tell each other if something feels like an overstep, alright?”

Simplicity, Sunset preferred that, albeit it was a bit out of the ordinary for Twilight Sparkle to strive for simplicity. In her years of knowing Twilight, she was the master of overcomplicating matters.

“Sounds good to me, probably for the best anyway.” Sunset smiled but kept her eyes on the road.

Before much more time passed, the two arrived at the eatery, Sunset parking her expensive car and looking over at Twilight smiling before stepping out of her car and coming around to Twilight’s door, opening it carefully and offering her hand.

Twilight blinked and stared at Sunset’s soft looking hand for a few moments. She noted how soft the girl’s skin looked, she must have had some impressive lotion at her home.

Coming back to reality, Twilight reached forward and took the girl’s hand and felt herself pulled up and out of the car carefully as Sunset assisted her in exiting the vehicle. The redhead closed the door behind her as she snaked an arm around Twilight’s back and lead them inside slowly.

Twilight could not contain her blushing, her entire face was likely cherry red at this point, and Sunset being so nonchalant about it all and not even uttering a word certainly wasn’t helping.

When they reached the door, they were seated relatively quickly despite the place looking fairly busy. They had chosen a middle of the road restaurant specializing in soul food, but with a nice mixture of vegetarian options. Twilight imagined it was going to be a continuing challenge to find places that had serviceable vegetarian menus when she herself ate meat like it were candy. Since she was born, her mother had raised their family on a tremendous amount of meat and joked that they were all carnivores. Adjusting to Sunset’s vegetarian lifestyle was definitely going to take some time.

Picking up their menus, Sunset and she made their orders. Sunset decided to go with a garden salad to start, and some kind of vegan pasta dish, while Twilight had opted for a big serving of southern style chicken fried steak.

Giving their menus back to the waitress, the two looked across the table at each other and they both knew that the other had much on their mind.

“So…” Twilight began.

“So,” Sunset replied with a gentle smile.

“I uh… Couldn’t help but notice your arms are pretty toned…” Twilight blushed and glanced away, but continued to steal peaks in Sunset’s direction.

“When did you…” Sunset blinked. “Oh, right… When we…”

“Yeah… I mean it’s nice, I like it… I take it you’re keeping in good shape then?” Twilight asked.

Grinning, Sunset pulled her jacket off and set it on the back of the chair she was sitting in. She flexed her arm and showed off some rather impressive muscles. They weren’t on the same level as Applejack or Rainbow, and certainly not that noticeable unless she was purposefully trying to show them off, but Sunset clearly had some nice tone to her body. She was definitely in great shape.

“I exercise every day, lots of cardio, lots of sit-ups, that kind of thing. The vegetarian diet obviously means that I have almost no body fat when combined with the exercise that I do…” Sunset grinned, quite proud of herself and her accomplishments.

“You look great, I’m impressed.” Twilight nodded approving, her eyes returning to Sunset’s toned arms, already fantasizing about how those could be useful to her in the future. Sunset pulling on the book worm’s hair came to mind.

“Thanks…” Sunset smiled.

Their appetizers arrived and Sunset began to sample her own, making an approving nod when she tasted the salad. She retrieved a bottle of ranch dressing from a waitress causing Twilight to make a gagging sound. “Ranch is gross…”

“What? No way!” Sunset shook her head in disagreement.

“It’s such an overrated dressing.” Twilight stuck her tongue out.

“If you say so.” Sunset rolled her eyes.

There was silence again, followed by Sunset asking a question that Twilight had known would appear eventually, a question she knew she would have to be prepared to answer some time ago if she ever pursued Sunset. How she actually ended up chasing her was nothing like she imagined of course.

“So… When did you start to like me?” Sunset asked.

There was an exceptionally long pause between the two dinner goers, Twilight swallowed some food in her mouth and decided to just attack the beast head on. She borrowed a page from Applejack’s book and went with honesty.

“I… Well… Maybe… A while back.” Twilight shrugged.

“How far back is a while?” Sunset raised a brow.

“I think I started to like during Camp Everfree… I don’t think I realized it at the time, but I started noticing you more and more, paying closer attention to the things you did and said… Along with…” Twilight blushed and looked away.

“Go on…” Sunset gestured with her hand for Twilight to continue.

“Along with… noticing your body…” Twilight admitted sheepishly.

Sunset tilted her head. “My body?”

Twilight nodded. “Yeah, I started to notice how attractive you were… I think by the time we went back to school I was having some… graphic dreams about you… Sorry if that’s too weird…”

Blinking, Sunset leaned back in her chair and smiled. “I’m flattered actually… No one has ever told me they thought about me like that.”

“Yeah well… After that, I sort of… I knew that I liked you. I wanted to tell you so many times, but well… You know how I am… I’m a big coward when it comes to this stuff…” Twilight frowned and looked down.

“Why though?” Sunset asked.

Twilight perked up and tilted her head and squared her eye. “Are you serious? Why? Look at you! You’re like… Hot, I’m just… I’m just some plain old bookworm…”

Sunset leaned in and extended an arm across the table, placing her hand atop of Twilight’s. Twilight looked down at the hand and then her eyes met Sunset’s.

“Twilight… You’re attractive too… I think you’re more than enough.” Sunset smiled.

Twilight could only nod as she stared into Sunset’s eyes.

“Plus, I may or may not have noticed your cute butt from time to time.” Sunset giggled.

Twilight sighed and rolled her eyes. “According to Rarity and apparently everyone and their grandmother, I have a nice ass…”

“Definitely do, I wouldn’t mind gripping it if you know what I mean…” Sunset wiggled her eyebrow suggestively.

Twilight leaned back and felt her face get hot. The kind of ideas that began to rush into her head, were not exactly the ones that made appropriate dinner conversation. “Maybe… We should tone it down a little…”

Shrugged, Sunset leaned back into her seat and withdrew her hand from Twilight’s. “Suit yourself, either way, I won’t have this talk of not being attractive anymore. You’re pretty, Twilight. You’re plenty attractive, and I won’t hear otherwise.”

“Fine… But no snapping photos of my butt…” Twilight grumbled.

“I make no promises.” Sunset winked.

The two broke out into a fit of laughter for a few moments. Once it subsided, Sunset sighed and grew a serious expression.

“So… You’re sure about all of this?”

Blinking, Twilight tilted her head. “What do you mean? Sure about what?”

“About us, pursuing me… Are you certain it was a wise idea?” Sunset asked.

“I don’t know… Why wouldn’t it be?” Twilight asked.

“Let’s not beat around the bush, Twilight… After what happened with Shimmer and then Adagio… It’s pretty obvious that people around me get hurt. I guess I’m also just a little scared myself…” Sunset admitted.

“Scared? Of what?” Twilight leaned in with interest.

Sighing, Sunset shook her head. “Everyone in my life either dies or ditches me… I guess a part of me is still scared that will happen again. That’s probably why I have avoided dating for so long…”

Twilight reached forward and snagged both of Sunset’s hands in her own, gripping them tightly. Her eyes grew serious as she locked them with the vibrant eyes of Sunset and made her vow.

“I promise, I’m not going to be like that. I won’t leave unless you tell me to go, and I mean that…” Twilight said with conviction in her voice.

Sunset sighed and squeezed Twilight’s hands back. “Y-you… You can’t make that promise…”

“Yes, I can,” Twilight assured.

“Shimmer made a similar promise…” Sunset frowned.

“I’m not Shimmer,” Twilight reminded.

Sighing again, Sunset conceded and gave Twilight a nod. “Alright, I’ll trust you, Twilight… I just can’t promise I’m going to be easy to deal with…”

“When were you ever?” Twilight smirked.

“You’re no walk in the park yourself,” Sunset replied with a grin.

“Well, at least I’m a great kisser according to a certain redhead…” Twilight smirked and turned her head, peaking at Sunset from the corner of her eye.

“Uh uh, I shouldn’t have told you that, looks like I may have created a monster out of your ego.” Sunset grinned.

“Keep talking like that and I won’t kiss you again any time soon…” Twilight replied with a faux sounding voice.

“Alright, alright, I’ll stop picking on you.” Sunset giggled.

The two smiled at each other and sat there just looking into the other one’s eyes. Silently enjoying their meal together. Whatever happened from there would be unknown to either of them, but they at least knew one thing for certain: they wanted to endure it all together.

The evening went as perfectly as both of them had hoped for. They enjoyed idle small talk after they had devoured their meals and chatted about old times and what was new in their lives during their time apart. When it was over, Sunset drove Twilight home and parked next to the sidewalk in front of the house.

Putting the parking brake on, Sunset sighed and looked over at Twilight with a smile. “Sorry for keeping you out well past two in the morning… I guess we both just lost track of time…”

“Maybe that stop at the park wasn’t the brightest idea for either of us, but it’s not like I have anywhere to go tomorrow right?” Twilight shrugged.

“Oh right, Summer break…” Sunset nodded.

The two grew quiet for a moment, not wanting their lovely evening together to come to an end.

“I had a really great time…” Sunset stated, breaking their silence.

A smile came to Twilight, who nodded in response. “Yes, I agree, it was probably the most perfect first date ever.”

“Not like we have much to compare it to,” Sunset reminded.

Rolling her eyes, the bookworm blinked at Sunset and her voice grew quiet. “Would it be… Too much to ask… For a kiss goodnight?”

Sunset paused and watched the girl’s eyes flitter a few times before Sunset smirked at her. “If I say yes, am I agreeing to a kiss or a full make-out session like last time?”

“I would say just a kiss… But I think we both know that if I’m given the chance, I likely won’t be able to control myself…” Twilight blushed and began to play with a strand of her hair, unable to keep eye contact with Sunset when she said such embarrassing things.

Sighing, Sunset shook her head and unbuckled her seatbelt. She leaned back in her seat and gestured with her finger for Twilight to come over.

Wasting not even a second of time, Twilight unhooked her seatbelt with record speed and climbed over to the driver’s seat and positioned herself over Sunset, straddling her as she did, looking down into her eyes.

“You’re the best…” Twilight smiled.

“You’re only saying that because I am letting you make out with me…” Sunset smirked.

Twilight shook her head and placed a hand on the redhead’s cheek, gently stroking her cheekbone with her thumb as she stared longingly into Sunset’s eyes.

“No… I just… I’ve liked you for a long time… I never thought I even had a chance with someone as beautiful as you… With someone as great as you…” Twilight blushed as she admitted her thoughts.

Sunset smiled and placed both of her hands on Twilight’s hips. “I’m the lucky one… To have a girl like you wait so patiently to get a chance at me? To be by my side when I needed you most, even when I was being so shitty to everyone? Twilight, you are actually the best, and that’s why you deserve the best.”

Smiling, Twilight giggled and touched her forehead to Sunset’s. “Figures that you know how to sweet talk me too…”

“One of my many talents…” Sunset grinned.

At those words, their lips locked.

Sunset’s hands ran up and down Twilight’s back, and eventually found their way to her sides, where they slid down her figure as the two kissed. Her hands reached Twilight’s rear and stopped abruptly, not wanting to violate her position of power.

Twilight between lip smacks spoke. “It’s… Okay… Do whatever feels natural… Remember?”

Sunset nodded but reminded herself not to go too far. As her tongue fought with Twilight’s, her hands gently lifted the skirt of Twilight’s dress up and rested on her impressive buttocks, giving a few gentle squeezes. She had been curious about how well Twilight’s rear would feel in her hands, and now she had an answer. It was amazing, supple, yet firm, round, yet not too large.

Twilight let out a soft moan as she felt Sunset’s hands grip her. She found herself enjoying Sunset being adventurous and not waiting for permission to act.

“You like?” Twilight managed to get out during a brief pause between kisses.

Nodding, Sunset leaned back in and gave Twilight’s lip a playful nip. “Very much so…”

“It’s okay to do whatever you want to me, alright?” Twilight stated, serious eyes looking at Sunset.

“Anything?” Sunset raised a brow.

Twilight nodded. “I… I like it when you’re assertive… I kind of have a thing for being told what to do and my partner just taking control…”

Grinning, Sunset nodded, happy to oblige she moved her hands upward and slowly up Twilight’s body until they both cupped her breasts and began to gently massage them. Twilight blushed and leaned into the groping, giving Sunset ample opportunity to crane her neck and gentle gnaw on Twilight’s exposed neck.

The soft flesh between Sunset’s teeth was calming as she gnawed and groped. The soft moans of Twilight adding to the soothing feeling being created. Despite the temptation to go so much further though, Sunset released Twilight and gave her neck a gentle kiss where she had bitten.

She looked up at the girl as her hand rested back on Twilight’s hips. Her body warm from all the excitement. Twilight was panting lightly after such adult activities. A year ago, neither imagined they’d be doing such a thing with the other.

The two girls smiled at each other, both of them never wanting that moment to end.

Touch the butt.

I promise the rest of the story won't just be Sunset and Twilight making out and groping each other. I swear.
