“About time you girls came here!” Rainbow exclaimed as she saw both redheads approach the racetrack.

“Are you impatient to see Sunset again?” Sunshine asked with a grin.

“What? No!” Rainbow quickly answered.

“Really? You don’t find her attractive?” the woman questioned, looking upset while Sunset’s eyes widened.

“I– She’s– I think–” Rainbow stammered looking away. “That’s not important right now. I’ve something prepared for you two.”

“What did you do this time?” Sunset asked, a bit worried about her friend’s machinations.

“Oh, just a little something I did when Twilight first came to school.”

Sunset looked confused, until she remembered the story. “You’re not making her play football!”

Rainbow shrugged. “Why not? She’s not that old.”

“Yeah, but–” Sunset was interrupted when Sunshine put her shoes in her hands.

“Sunny, give me your boots,” the woman said, showing a competitive grin to the athlete.
Sunset sighed and complied, and soon Sunshine was defending the goal against Rainbow.

“I will start slow for you,” the multicolor-haired girl announced before kicking the ball to the lower right corner of the goal. Sunshine moved surprisingly fast and kicked the ball back, which flew right beside Rainbow’s head and entered the opposite goal.

“Point for me,” Sunshine announced, rubbing her sore foot a bit. It had been a while.

Rainbow recovered from the shock and went to get the ball back, deciding to go all out and kicked the ball right above the woman’s head, who ducked as the high-speed projectile seemed to catch fire for a second.

“Point for me!” Rainbow shouted victoriously while Sunshine went for the ball.

Sunset sat down on the benches to watch the match, smiling at the fierce competition between the two egos.
Sunshine was putting a good fight against the athlete, but Rainbow was faster and more agile than her, so the scores quickly went in her favor.
Finally, at 4-2 in favor of Rainbow, the rainbow-haired girl prepared herself to end the match, bouncing the ball on her foot.
Sunshine stood firm, defending the goal, but when Rainbow kicked the ball, a rainbow-colored shockwave launched it towards her like if it just came out of a canon, hitting her in the midsection and pushing her inside the goal.

“Victory for Rainbow Dash!” the athlete exclaimed, celebrating her victory until a fist hit her in the back of the head, sending her to the ground.

“The fuck's wrong with you?!” Sunset shouted, her eyes catching fire.

Rainbow lifted her arms in surrender. “Sorry, I just got a bit too into it. That rainbow thing never happened before.”

“It’s okay Sunset,” Sunshine said as she stood back up. “Now it’s my turn.”

“Your turn?” both teens questioned confused.

“This school has a fencing club, right?” Sunshine asked with a huge grin, which Sunset copied perfectly.


Rainbow was now wearing a fencing protection jacket and helmet, and holding a sword in her hand, trying to copy the stance her opponent had. “This can’t be that hard. I’m awesome!” She thought right before feeling something press against her chest.

“Point for Sunshine!” Sunset shouted.

“Wait what?” Rainbow managed to ask just before Sunshine lunged at her again. With some luck, she managed to move the point away from her, but Sunshine redirected the strike with a quick movement of her wrist, landing a hit in the middle of the girl’s chest.

“Point for Sunshine!” Sunset shouted, adding another mark for her future mother.

Rainbow decided to go on the offensive, using her superior speed to barrage the woman into submission, but Sunshine deflected each of them with the dexterity of her hand before hitting her opponent right in the bellybutton.

“Point for Sunshine!”

Rainbow growled, losing patience, and was hit in the head before she could retaliate. Enraged, her body started to glow with magic. “I will hit her at least once!” She screamed internally before lunging at her opponent.
Sunshine did a sidestep, putting a foot in Rainbow’s way, causing her to fall face first on the wooden floor of the clubroom.
The athlete tried to stand up, but Sunshine was already on her, pointing the tip of her blade at her chest.

“Match’s over! Sunshine is the winner!” Sunset celebrated with her fist in the air.

“I guess we’re even for the rainbow thing,” Dash said with pained pride, offering her hand to the victor.

“Not yet.” Sunshine helped the girl up. “But soon.”

Rainbow chuckled nervously and walked away towards Sunset as she took off the heavy jacket. “Your mom is kind of ominous.”

Sunset laughed. “Yeah, she can be a bit evi–”

Sunshine made a slash with her sword, and a tearing sound was heard right before Rainbow’s shirt fell from her body with its back severed in two, exposing her naked to torso.

Sunset’s face turned as red as her counterpart’s hair, and quickly turned around. “Mom, what the hell?!!”

Sunshine just started laughing like a maniac as Rainbow tried desperately to cover herself. “Now we’re even.”

“Sunset, gather the girls, we need to blast your mother asap!” Rainbow exclaimed, glaring at the woman with open hatred.

“You’re not blowing up the school again!” Luna shouted, making her and Celestia’s presence known.

The embarrassment in both teens doubled at the presence of the principals, but Sunshine’s grin just grew larger. “Tia,” she saluted the taller woman with a nod, and then turned towards Luna. “Nightmare Moon.”

The vice-principal’s stoic face was struck bit a hit of embarrassment, and even Celestia chuckled at the name. “That was a long time ago. I’ve moved on from that phase of my life.” Luna stated, far more defensively than she would’ve liked to.

Sunshine looked hurt by her words. “Don’t tell me you threw it away. That leather was really hard to find.”

Luna’s eyes filled with fury. “You will shut up this instant you vile woman!”

“What kind of awesome thing did we miss?” Rainbow asked, having covered herself with the white fencing jacket.

“Did you know each other?” Sunset asked, looking at the amused face of Celestia.

“Luna did, long ago, but I never got the chance.” Celestia glared at Sunshine with annoyance. “If I knew, I wouldn’t have let you trick me so easily.”

“Trick you?” Sunset asked confused.

“When I came here saying I was your mother,” Sunshine explained with a grin. “She looked like she was about to have a heart attack when I entered her office.”

“I almost had,” Celestia confessed with a frown. “I didn’t expect that a version of you would appear at my office after so long, and when she said she was looking for her ‘daughter’.” Celestia looked at Sunset with a bit of embarrassment. “if I tried to explain magic to her, which I barely understand, she could’ve thought that I was covering something up and made some legal action against the school, so...”

“You just sent me to her?” Sunset questioned with her arms crossed. “Not even a bit of warning?”

“She looked innocent enough,” Celestia excused herself, making Sunshine laugh again. “You really are a vile woman.”

“Who has lied to my sister, embarrassed me in public, and assaulted a student,” Luna counted with her fingers. “Are you sure you will be a good influence for Sunset?”

“She’s perfectly capable of distinguishing right from wrong.” Sunshine left the last of the fencing equipment on a nearby bench. “And I can make all of this up to you.”

Luna raised a curious eyebrow. “How?”

Sunshine leaned closer to the vice-principal and whispered in her ear, loud enough so everyone would hear her. “I made a design for Celestia too.” Luna’s eyes widened. “It’s called Daybreaker.”

Luna grinned maliciously. “I’ll buy it.”

Celestia’s face turned even more white than it already was and turned towards the two teens with panic in her voice. “Blast her with magic. Destroy the school if you have to!”

Sunshine laughed and quickly trotted to the exit. “I better leave before someone calls the police or something.”

“Wait for me!” Sunset shouted, following her to the exit, leaving the two women and teen alone.

“Sooo…” Rainbow looked at the two principals while pressing her lips together. “Can I hear the story about… Nightmare and Daybreaker?”

Luna frowned. “Two weeks of detention.”

“Oh, come on! I won’t tell anyone.”

“Three weeks!”


Sunshine and Sunset exited the school with smiles on their faces before the woman stopped to look around them. “Everything started here.”

“Did you enjoyed meeting my friends?” Sunset asked, walking in front of Sunshine.

“A lot,” the woman admitted with a smile, remembering each of her encounters. “You’ve something amazing with these girls.”

“I can share it with you,” Sunset smiled and offered her hand to Sunshine. “It’s obvious by this point, but officially, I accept you as my mother.”

Instead of grabbing her hand, Sunshine pulled the girl into a hug, softly brushing the girls red and golden hair.
Sunset was surprised for a second, but then she hugged her back, smiling as a missing piece of her life felt finally fulfilled.

Sunshine looked down at the happy face of Sunset, knowing that she had been the one that caused that reaction. She never thought she could make someone as happy as her daughter was right now, but she would do her best to keep that happiness going until Sunset was ready to face the world on her own.

Rainbow and the principals looked at them through the glass doors and decided to leave the school by the back exit, letting them enjoy the moment for a bit longer.

Night finally came when the new family finally separated, their smiles never fading. “So, I guess it’s my turn now.”

Sunshine raised an eyebrow. “Your turn for what?”

“Meeting your friend.” Sunset answered excitedly.

Sunshine faked a thinking pose. “I don’t know if you’re ready yet.”

“Oh, for Celestia’s sake!” the teen exclaimed frustrated. “Cut with the mystery already!”

“How about this…” Sunshine looked at her daughter with a grin. “You tell me which of your friends you like, and I tell you who’s my friend.”

Sunset sighed, rubbing her temples before chuckling. “Fine, It’s To Be Continued.”
