It's been a few days since the week at Camp Everfree and things have been peaceful for the time being.

After you return back to Canterlot, you went to your parents and told them everything that happened at Camp Everfree. You told them about Timber and Gloriosa now running the camp as well as Gloriosa getting her hands on magic geodes which were corrupting her and turned her into an demonic being that wanted to prevent Filthy Rich from buying Camp Everfree, how you fought the demonic-possessed Gloriosa and how Sci-Twi is now in your harem, reunited them with Shadow which went way better compared to the reunion between you both.

So things were getting back to peaceful and the next few days were going to be busy for you. It's Friday afternoon and you were conversing with Shadow about his friends liking him.

(Y/N): I'm telling you, man. If given enough time, they'll come to love you.

Shadow Moonlight: That's a huge load of crap and you know it. I mean, I suppose I have seen Sunny blush many times when near me so I guess she might but I am not dating her.

(Y/N): Why? She cares so much about you, Shad. It'd be jaw dropping if she didn't feel something for you.

Shadow Moonlight: Yeah, but I lived with her for so long that she basically feels like a sister to me. I don't know about you, but dating a sibling isn't exactly seen as moral and quite frankly, I can understand why.

(Y/N): Well, if not her, then definitely one of the others.

Shadow Moonlight: You're kidding right? Those girls have some pretty high standards and I know that I don't fit any of them.

(Y/N): I'm sure of it, dude. Listen, you might deny it, but you've got some handsome traits on your side.

Shadow Moonlight: True but yours are far superior.

(Y/N): That doesn't mean you won't ever get somebody. Just keep holding onto that faith, Shad. ** It's your destiny!

Shadow Moonlight: Okay, Great Sage.

You then felt your phone buzz as you looked and saw a reminder to take Sunset out for a date in an hour.

(Y/N): Oh yeah, I gotta get going. Sunset and I are going on a date later today and I've gotta get ready.

Shadow Moonlight: Alright then. I guess I'll go see if I can prove your theory wrong.

(Y/N): Or prove yourself wrong, my friend.

You raised both eyebrows at him in an all knowing way as he rolled his eyes.

Shadow Moonlight: ** If that happens, I'll do a spit take.

(Y/N): I'll hold you to that. Anyways, see you later, pal.

Shadow Moonlight: See you then, man. Oh, and make sure to make Sci-Twi feel like she's a real part of your harem. This is her first relationship, dude.

(Y/N): ** Seriously? You gotta have more faith in me, dude. Do you honestly think I wouldn't do that?

Shadow Moonlight: I never said you wouldn't do it. I'm just saying that she's an ameteur when it comes to things like love. She's watched tons of rom coms to try and get an understanding but those are movies not documentaries. I just want her to know what it feels like to have a significant other and it won't exactly feel that way when your significant other is spending more time with other girls in his harem.

(Y/N): If it'll ease your mind, I'll treat her like a princess. Heh, get it?

Shadow Moonlight: Heh, be sure to tell your "cousin" that one.

(Y/N): Will do.

You both fist bumped each other before you snapped your fingers and teleported back to your living room and headed upstairs to yours and Sunset's room. Yes, you heard that right, Sunset decided to move some of her stuff into your room and the both of you are now sharing it. Your father was pretty excited when you asked if she could move in and agreed without a second thought. However, your mother was a bit more cautious as she didn't want to be a grandmother...yet, despite you constantly telling her that it wasn't happening any time soon.

Anyways, you headed into your room to find Sunset doing something you never expected her to do. You found her playing on your gaming console! You stood for a few moments with widened eyes and a dropped jaw as Sunset noticed your presence and smiled.

Sunset Shimmer: Oh, hey handsome.

(Y/N): S-Su-... S-Sunset... you're... a gamer girl?!

Sunset Shimmer: ** That I am. I saw your games and I kinda got a little curious, so I decided to try them out in secrecy to surprise you.

(Y/N): H-How long has this been a thing?!

Sunset Shimmer: Oh, not long. Just about sometime after the Battle of the Bands before I confessed to you.

(Y/N): Man, I have a lot to learn about you, huh?

Sunset Shimmer: That you do, Y/N.

(Y/N): A-Anyways, our date's in an hour, so we should probably start getting ready.

Sunset Shimmer: Sounds good. Oh, by the way, while you were out with Shadow, I went out and got an outfit that I'll be wearing for today, just for you.

(Y/N): Aww, I'm flattered, Sunny. Can I see it?

Sunset Shimmer: You'll see it when we head out. Until then, don't get sneaky, lover boy.

She said while smirking. You smirked back at her.

(Y/N): Oh, fine. It must be really good if you won't let me see it.

Sunset Shimmer: Trust me, much like just now, your jaw will hit the floor.

(Y/N): Heh, I believe you. I guess I'll be the first to get ready and then I'll let you go next.

Sunset Shimmer: Alrighty.

She said before resuming her game while you got yourself ready.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A half hour passes and Sunset calls you upstairs to see her new outfit.

Sunset Shimmer: Y/N, ready to see my new outfit?

(Y/N): Should I close my eyes to enhance the experience?

Sunset Shimmer: If you want.

You then closed your eyes as you heard a series of footsteps come down the stairs and came to a stop in front of you.

Sunset Shimmer: Alright, you can open them.

You do as you were told and opened your eyes only for them to widen along with your jaw hitting the floor when you see Sunset's new stunning outfit.

While you were busy being distracted by this fiery angel in front of you, she did a few twirls to help you take in her appearance.

Sunset Shimmer: So, what do you think?

At first, you weren't able to respond coherently. The only words that came out were these.

(Y/N): Homina... homina... h-h-homina.

Sunset couldn't help but chuckle at your current display.

Sunset Shimmer: I take it your lack of words means you like my outfit?

(Y/N): I think more of an unhealthy obsession with it, but yeah, that.

Sunset Shimmer: ** Well, I'm glad. Because like I said before, I got this just for you.

She then leaned forward and brought you in for a kiss. You returned it fully for a moment or two before you broke it off.

(Y/N): Well, thank you. I absolutely love it. It makes you look incredibly beautiful. Like the angel that I don't deserve.

Sunset Shimmer: Now, that's nonsense and you know it. You totally deserve me. You deserve all of us.

(Y/N): Heh, I guess I do. So, are you ready?

Sunset Shimmer: Yep, let's go.

She took your hand and led you out the front door.

(Y/N): So, where do you wanna go, sunshine?

Sunset Shimmer: Hmm, I haven't thought that far ahead. You wanna just head over to the park and think about it from there?

(Y/N): Sounds good to me.

You said as you both made your way to the park. You and Sunset arrived at the front entrance of Canterlot Park and it seemed that other couples had the same idea as Sunset as you both saw other couples holding hands and walking around while talking.

(Y/N): Well, looks like we're not the only ones with this idea.

Sunset Shimmer: Guess not. Still, that shouldn't stop us, right?

(Y/N): Of course not.

You both held each other's hand as you started walking through the park.

(Y/N): ** Man, what a beautiful day we're having.

Sunset Shimmer: I heard this saying once. "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present."

(Y/N): Huh, didn't think you knew Kung Fu Panda.

Sunset Shimmer: Oh, is that what that's from?

(Y/N): Yeah, you wanna watch it later tonight?

Sunset Shimmer: Sure, I'd like that.

You then noticed the arcade in the distance as you got an idea.

(Y/N): Hey, since you're a gamer girl, wanna see if I can kick your butt at the arcade?

Sunset Shimmer: Oh, is that a challenge?

She asked with a competitive smirk while you smirked as well.

(Y/N): I do believe so, yes.

Sunset Shimmer: Well, challenge accepted.

And with that, you both went over to the arcade and headed inside.

(Y/N): So, here we are. The same arcade me, Shad, and Flash went to about a month ago.

Sunset looked around amazed by the interior and all the games.

Sunset Shimmer: Wow, this is so amazing.

(Y/N): Heh, yeah, it is. So, which game should we try first, Sunny?

Sunset Shimmer: There's too many to choose from. I don't know what to pick.

(Y/N): Well, then let's try them all out.

Sunset Shimmer: Really? Are you sure we have enough for that?

(Y/N): Sunset, we came here to have fun, if it means that I've gotta splurge a little just to see a smile on your face, then it'll be worth it.

Sunset Shimmer: ** Y/N, you spoil me, you know that?

(Y/N): Well, it's my job to make you and the girls happy, so yeah. I know.

Sunset Shimmer: Well, we're not gonna have fun just by standing here, are we? Let's go.

(Y/N): Right behind ya.

You and Sunset started playing on the various arcade games for the next few hours or so. Of course, seeing as how you both were blowing through loads of quarters each time, you both reached a compromise to take turns refilling the bucket of quarters. It was your turn next as you made your way to the change machine to get some more quarters when something catches the corner of your eye. You see a girl playing a claw game, struggling in frustration of being unable to win. You took a few steps forward to get a better look at her until you were able to make out her appearance. She was wearing a black and red version of Sunset's outfit along with matching gloves, boots, and a hairclip.

You had to take a moment to argue with yourself over if what you were seeing was real or not.

(Y/N): Sunset? But, how is she wearing a different outfit? Unless, could she be... the human Sunset Shimmer? Didn't Shadow say she was living in that observatory on top of Canterlot? What is she doing here?

Sunset Shimmer?: Come on, come on!

She focused on the claw game as the claw reached down to grab one of the plushies inside but then it slipped out much to her annoyance.

Sunset Shimmer?: NO! Dang it all! Who's idea was it to invent something as dumb and stupid as this?!

(Y/N): ** Hmm, seems like she's having a rough time on the crane game. Should I... help her out? Wait, what kind of a question is that? Of course I should. It'd be just like giving my girlfriend a hand even though it's not her.

You then walked up behind her and spoke up.

(Y/N): Having trouble there, miss?

She turns around and sees you before taking a deep breath.

Sunset Shimmer?: ** Yeah, I hate this stupid game. It's like a hot garbage level in Mario Maker, it really gets under your skin.

(Y/N): I get where you're coming from. Most crane games are like that. It's purposefully designed to very rarely pick anything up.

Sunset Shimmer?: Yeah, but I've seen it happen before so it's not impossible but it definitely is frustrating to get to that point.

(Y/N): Well, if you don't mind, why don't I give it a try and see if I can snag something for you?

Sunset Shimmer?: Really? You'd do that for me?

(Y/N): Why not? I'd hate to see you struggle more in a place that's meant to bring joy to people.

Sunset Shimmer?: Well, if you insist.

She stepped out of the way to allow you to walk up to the claw machine. You took out a quarter and prayed to lady luck herself before placing the quarter in the slot as the machine came to life. Using a bit of your magical power, you were able to create an apparition of the exact spot of where the claw needed to go and you soon move the claw into its position before letting it drop. You manage to pick up the plushie that this Sunset was struggling to pick up as it falls into the prize area. You reach down and pick it up before handing it over to the human Sunset.

(Y/N): There you go, miss. One cute stuffed plushie for you.

Sunset Shimmer?: W-Wow! Thank you so much! How'd you do that?

(Y/N): Eh... magic I guess?

You said while smirking on the inside. Just then you heard the sounds of quarters growing near as you soon see Shadow running towards you both with a bucket full of quarters.

Shadow Moonlight: ** Alright Shimmy, I got you another load of quarters. Sorry it took so long, they had to restock all the quarters in the change machine.

He looked up from the bucket and noticed you.

Shadow Moonlight: Y/N? What are you doing here, man?

(Y/N): Shad? I could ask you the same thing.

Sunset Shimmer?: You guys know each other?

Shadow nodded.

Shadow Moonlight: Yeah, we do. He's my childhood friend that I mentioned to you, remember?

Sunset Shimmer?: Oh, so you're that guy with magic powers? The one who fought my look-alike and a bunch of other magic creatures?

(Y/N): You'd be correct. ** So, are you two on a date or something?

Shadow and the human Sunset blush at your words.

Shadow Moonlight: Y-You got a problem with that?

(Y/N): Of course not. I'm just messing around, Shad.

Shadow Moonlight: Ha! I know, dude. But for real, me and her are just hanging out. When you told me earlier about how you were supposed to take her on a date, I figured I should take this time to catch up with the Sunset I know, so here we are.

(Y/N): Huh, who would have guessed we'd end up at the same place?

Shadow Moonlight: Well, she loves the arcade.

Sunset Shimmer?: Yeah, except for these junky, rigged, excuses for an arcade game.

She glares at the claw machine which made Shadow and you chuckle.

(Y/N): Well, I think it's best that I head back. I'll leave you guys to your date.

Shadow Moonlight: Sounds good. See you later then, Y/N. Also, IT'S. NOT. A. DATE!

Sunset Shimmer?: Y-Yeah, what he said.

(Y/N): If you insist. **

You chuckled before walking away while Shadow and human Sunset held blushes on their faces.

Shadow Moonlight: Karma is god awful.

Sunset Shimmer?: Is he always a jokester kind of person?

Shadow Moonlight: I'd say we both are. I did tease him about Sci-Twi being in his harem so I should've seen this coming.

Sunset Shimmer?: Heh, seems like you're lucky to have a friend like him.

Shadow Moonlight: Yeah, I am. Wish it went both ways though.

Sunset Shimmer?: What do you mean?

Shadow Moonlight: ** Well, at the Friendship Games, I...wasn't exactly the kind of guy you would call nice even though that's what I thought I was.

Sunset Shimmer?: So, were you mean to him or something?

Shadow Moonlight: Mean is a strong word. It's the right word but still, I was just trying to forget about him abandoning me and I was also convinced that he had someone murder my dad.

Sunset Shimmer?: Well, it seems like you were able to patch things up in the end.

Shadow Moonlight: Yeah, and to be honest, I haven't felt this happy since the day I met him.

Sunset Shimmer?: He sounds like quite the guy.

Shadow smirks at her.

Shadow Moonlight: You wanna join his harem?

She blushed immediately from that.

Sunset Shimmer?: W-What?! No! I barely even know him, so why would I say yes to that?

Shadow Moonlight: Well, Sci-Twi barely knew him and yet she's already a part of it. I figured if he could attract a girl in that short amount of time, he could attract anyone.

Sunset Shimmer?: Well, guess what? I'm the only exception, Shad.

Shadow Moonlight: And why's that? You got a boyfriend or something? Not sure I'd believe that since you spent so many years in the observatory.

Sunset Shimmer?: W-Well... no. Not exactly. But, I'm not looking for one currently. My work is too important right now.

Shadow Moonlight: You know, they could really provide you with some answers that might really be useful to you. You should have them over sometime.

Sunset Shimmer?: ** I don't know. There's a lot of things I don't know. But right now, I just wanna take a break from all that and spend the afternoon here with you.

Shadow Moonlight: Alright, just something to think about, Shimmy.

Meanwhile, you were walking back while thinking about what just happened.

(Y/N): ** Well, I just got to meet this world's Sunset Shimmer. Wonder how my Sunset will react to that. Speaking of which, where is she?

You looked around trying to find your fiery-haired beauty anywhere until you found her at the monster drop machine while waiting for the perfect moment to drop the ball. You walked up to her as she was still gauging when to press the drop button.

(Y/N): Hey, I'm back.

Sunset Shimmer: Hey you, what took ya so long?

She asked as she slammed on the button and made the ball drop as it landed in the jackpot hole. She fist-bumped the air while letting a silent "yes" before turning to you.

(Y/N): Oh, I was just on my way to get more quarters when I ran into someone I really wasn't expecting to see here.

Sunset Shimmer: Principal Celestia?

(Y/N): Nope. Guess again.

Sunset Shimmer: Umm...Derpy?

(Y/N): No, last chance.

Sunset Shimmer: Shadow?

(Y/N): Eeehh, you're actually half right about that. He was there with this particular person, so you're right in a sense.

Sunset Shimmer: Quit beating around the bush, Y/N. Who is it?

(Y/N): Well... it was you. Well, not you you, but the human you.
