Morning time seemed to be a curse the household of Sunset Shimmer and the inhabitants.
As they slowly started to stir from their slumber, the hangovers kick in with full force.
Starting with Sunset Shimmer who noticed she still had Night Fang's arms around her from last night before remembering she was still in her underwear after last nights antics.
Once Sunset got her bearings, she began looking around the living room.
First, she noticed the piece of paper that was sellotaped to Twilight making her smile.
2nd.
Night Fang was snoring loudly, out of all of them, he had drunk the most giving him the most chance of looking like hell today.
Noticing it was 8 in the morning, Sunset decided to give her boyfriend a light nudge in the ribs causing him to grunt in annoyance.
"Babe, it's time to get up."
Sunset poked Night Fang gently in the head twice which caused him to groan in agony from one hell of a hangover he had when he sat up too fast causing him to hold his head.
As he tried to focus his eyes on the girl in front him with a half-lidded glare he threw her, all was forgotten when he smelt the coffee under his nose, thanking his saviour, he shakily stood up with mug in hand and decided to walk upstairs to his and Sunset's room to get his head down after sipping his coffee.
As Twilight Sparkle walked by him on her way from her spot on the bannister while rubbing her eyes of any sleep she had in them.
She noticed Sunset Shimmer just putting on her boots before the bacon haired teen noticed Twilight looking at her.
"Morning Sunset..."
When Twilight sees the mess from last nights party, she whistled before saying.
"...Man, that's going to be a pain to clear up."
Sunset Shimmer nodded with a laugh, trust Twilight to be the least hungover and still remember everything from last night's party.
Twilight was tipsy but not as bad as what Sunset Shimmer was.
As Twilight walked over to the kitchen area and turned on the coffee machine, she turned to Sunset with a smile on her face while she waited on her coffee and asked.
"So how's the 'Sexy Knight in Armour' today?"
Sunset looked at Twilight confused at what she was even talking about until it clicked in her head at what Twilight was talking about, this caused Sunset Shimmer to blush a deep shade of red resembling the red parts of her hair making Twilight laugh at how flustered her friend was before the coffee machine clicked, announcing to Twilight her coffee was ready for consumption.
But as she drank from her mug, she smiled smugly at Sunset Shimmer.
"Felt nice being close to him again after so long, wonder if one day he'll leave you and come back to me one day."
This earned Twilight an angered glare to which she smiled teasingly at Sunset Shimmer.
When Sunset caught on, Twilight had run out of the kitchen laughing as Sunset threw a croissant at her friends head and missed, all while a smile was on her face.
"Today is gonna be a good day."
Upstairs
As Loki started to open his eyes at the rude awakening provided by the sun through the slits in the blinds.
He began his morning routine of stretching and yawning, but this time, he couldn't help but smile as he turned to his right at the sight before him.
When he noticed his girl laid next to him sound asleep, the thought that crossed his mind came to last night.
It was the perfect way they could have started their relationship off correctly, movie, ice cream, a trip to fair and the consummation of it all by doing the dirty and losing their virginities under the moonlight in a farmer's field.
As he stroked his girlfriend's hair back, he began noticing her eyes open slightly and as her beautiful clear blue eyes came into focus, she couldn't help but smile lovingly at the messy grass green haired teen as she reached up to kiss him before bringing him back down to a laying position on the bed.
"Good morning beautiful."
Lily smiled, as she laid her head on his stomach, she sighed contently while Loki began stroking her hair, this brought a smile to her face at how loving her boyfriend was.
But as she moved her head so she could rest her chin on Loki's stomach and look him directly in the eyes, their interruption came in the phone of Loki's phone alarm buzzing as it began playing "Dangerous Love" to let him know it was time for school soon.
"I'm afraid babe it's time to get up."
Loki says with a shrug before unlatching Lily from him making her whimper.
This caused Loki to freeze in place next to the wardrobe but resisted as he still changed into his clothes.
He then watched her pull puppy eyes towards him making him hold his heart as he dramatically used his willpower to avoid her gaze.
"Must...resist...sexy...girlfriend's...adorable...stare."
This made Lily giggle sweetly before turning sultry as she switched into her sultry voice and used her finger in a 'come hither' motion towards Loki as he acted like a mind-controlled zombie.
"You're under my spell now my love."
Loki put on his best monotone voice as Lily tried her best not to laugh and keep a character at how well Loki was acting.
"Yes, mistress."
However, Lily did get slightly worried that she'd actually turned Loki's brain to mush.
Her fears were soon erased when Loki suddenly leapt at her and began tickling her and causing her to laugh, but just as quickly, she soon covered her mouth at the action of her laughing, causing Loki to stop and pull her up into a hug before they kissed.
When they parted reluctantly, Lily decided to kick Loki out of the room with a slap on the rear making him jump in surprise before she changed into her attire for the day.
Downstairs
With a smile still plastered on his face after a graceful good morning wake up with his lady, Loki slid down the bannister of the stairs and landed gracefully on both feet at the bottom of the stairs.
All while whistling a tune.
As he walked into the kitchen, he couldn't help but smirk, he had walked into the best sight he had ever seen in his entire life as he saw the following.
An off-colour brother who looked ready to be knocked over at the next gust of wind from the window, his brother's girlfriend who was doing the cooking in Night Fang's place and Twilight looking over homework from last week.
The first thing Loki did was to humour is deathly looking older brother with a warm smile.
"Good morning Night Fang, wow, you look like death warmed over in a waffle iron."
Night Fang tried his best to glare at his younger brother, but decided he just couldn't be bothered to as he still had a massive hangover from last night, so he just settled for ruffling his brother's hair instead as he took his seat just as his breakfast was being served up along with everyone else's.
Once Night Fang received his food, he thanked Sunset Shimmer with a kiss before tucking in..
"Thanks, Sunset"
Sunset was happy to be praised for her cooking as she took her seat next to Night Fang to eat her cereal.
Something did seem off with Night Fang today though, she didn't know what but she didn't want to press it further with him because of the state he was in, but it still raised some questions with her.
In The School Auditorium, Later That Day
As everyone in the school assembled into the auditorium after the second period, Sunset Shimmer sat with her friends who connected on with Night Fang and Loki who were sat with Water Lily on the bleachers in the hall and talking with each other just as Principal Celestia walked into the hall with Vice Principal Luna who brought in the ballot box.
As someone set a mic up for Celestia before exiting the stage so she could speak, she spoke to the masses in attendance.
"Good morning students."
"Good morning Principal Celestia."
The crowd sat still as Celestia began to speak into the microphone again.
"Today as we are on the road to the winter prom, we would like to remind our students that the number of votes those in running for prom king and queen will be counted at today as this is the halfway mark of before winter prom."
Everyone glared at Sunset Shimmer causing her to become like Fluttershy and hide behind Night Fang at the glares which basically said 'You better not win'.
She wasn't hiding for long, however, as Night Fang put a protective arm around his girlfriend before glaring at her tormentors causing them to look away in fear and back towards the stage as the principal continued as though nothing happened.
"Now, for the votes so far."
Everyone held their breath as Luna turned on the screen to show the polls to which Lily laid her head onto Loki's shoulder so she couldn't see the results until they were announced because she didn't want to know who was winning.
"In 3rd place for prom queen, Sunset Shimmer with 35 votes."
Everyone cheered making Sunset cry into Night Fang's shoulder before he angrily shouted out to the crowd.
"Whoever started the cheering at my girlfriend being third, you have upset her and now you will have me to answer to when I find out who did it."
They looked at him in fear after he gave them a look that read 'try me, I dare you' as they had been stupid enough to forget who Sunset Shimmer's boyfriend is now as they quickly shut up and turned back round to face the stage as Luna spoke again.
"2nd place for Prom Queen..."
Lily felt bad if she was announced next as she was expecting Sunset Shimmer to be second, not third but the name Celestia announced, shocked everyone.
"with 51 votes, Twilight Sparkle."
Silent murmuring followed and not even Sunset Shimmer could believe it, as she looked at Twilight in surprise before turning to Twilight with a thumbs up, much to everyone's completely silent expressions before Celestia announced.
"And in 1st place for Prom queen at winter prom, with 55 votes..."
Silence befell the auditorium before the principal continued.
"...Water Lily."
The hall clapped before Celestia let them know that these were the candidates for the queen of winter prom, making everyone groan at the fact Sunset Shimmer was still entering Winter Prom.
However, that was the least of their problems as Celestia handed Luna the polls for the first ever prom king which caught the girls attention as Sunset and Lily nudged their boyfriends in the ribs to make them pay attention.
"Now, those running for king, you will be represented by the girls, the votes they get, they get counted towards your own votes as well so girls choose wisely, because the boys here will either help or hinder your chances of winning now girls who signed up for winter prom, please make your way to the stage as we show the results so far for prom king."
The girls quickly made their way to the stage as Rarity followed behind Twilight while Night kissed Sunset for luck before she followed her friends down to the stage as Luna put the results up on the screen again.
But this time for the men.
"In 3rd place with 20 votes for Prom King is Night Fang."
Everyone applauded, mostly out of fear because of who Sunset Shimmer was dating being under his protection, but some did applaud because they genuinely liked him.
Though Night Fang shrugged, not fussed by the result, he did smile at Sunset Shimmer before the next result came up on the screen, Blackheart smirked cockily as he had anticipated Loki being announced second and him being close to his rightful throne but his bubble burst when Celestia announced.
"In 2nd place with 23 votes, Blackheart."
Everyone looked dumbstruck, including Blackheart who slunk away with his goons without anyone knowing as everyone cheered loudly at the next result which almost shook the school's foundations.
"And leading the polls by a staggering 40 votes, Loki Moonstone."
Loki couldn't believe his ears at the noise that followed before he was suddenly swamped by people in congratulations, Loki just looked at them dumbstruck before fainting in his seat.
Later
"Ow...my head!"
Loki groaned as he slowly woke up to find Lily by his side as well as Night Fang who was holding a glass of water for him before he got up, he clutched his head in pain before asking what was on his mind.
"Where am I?"
Night Fang sighed in relief as he gently ruffled his brother's hair before answering.
"You're in the nurse's office, After it was announced you were leading the polls for Winter Prom, you passed out in the auditorium. Didn't think you were too banged up to be carted out of here so I brought you to the nurse's office."
Loki nods to his brother as he slowly and steadily gets out of his chair with a bit of a wobble.
When he does manage to stand straight enough, he spots some people crowded outside but not as many as last time in the auditorium as Loki stood up with Lily's support as they walked out of the nurse's office.
A slight ruckus happened shortly after Loki exited the office which Lily kept under control until Blackheart appeared with the pendant in his hand and glaring angrily causing Loki to shrink back making Night Fang angry.
"You just couldn't let me have my victory could you Loki, I warned you what would happen and now, I'm gonna tell all to everyone you care about, including your secrets."
He didn't care about non-aggression at that moment in time as Night had finally snapped.
Before Night Fang could hit him, Blackheart was too quick and ducked the incoming punch before the next thing Night Fang knew, the pendant was placed against his heart causing his eyes to widen and him to drop to the floor clutching his chest in agony which scared everyone.
The minute he began growling and yelling for people to stay back, his girlfriend tried to help, but he snapped at her with his newly forming jaws as he growled deeply in anger.
"GET AWAY FROM ME!"
Sunset Shimmer backed up with tears threatening to sting her eyes as she couldn't do anything but stand with heart in her mouth as she watched her beloved Night Fang change into a werewolf making everyone back away in fear at the feral Night Fang.
When he stood fully, he turned to everyone in his vicinity before he turned to Blackheart and cracked him in the jaw which sent him skittling across the polished floor before turning to the crowd.
There were shocked gasps galore at the sight before them.
The only one brave enough to come forward without a single shred of fear in her, was Sunset Shimmer, she saw her boyfriend was in pain, it hurt her knowing the one she loved was like this and the people around her were scared, hell even Principal Celestia told her to stand back from Night Fang.
"Sunset Shimmer, get back here!"
Sunset slowly reached out her hand out towards Night Fang and spoke softly and with love in her voice towards the beast that her boyfriend had become.
"Baby it's me, Sunset Shimmer, please snap out of it."
Despite her best intentions, Night Fang saw Sunset Shimmer's advance as a threat and grabbed Sunset by the throat which made everyone jump in alarm at the threatening speed he had with pinning her against the wall.
"Babe, stop this...please...you're hurting me..."
Night Fang squeezed hard on her throat making her gasp for breath as she tried to scream, she was completely helpless as she tried grabbing at Night Fang's paw to get him to let go, but he squeezed even tighter making her cry out.
As tears filled her eyes, she looked into her boyfriend's eyes as this one moment hit home with Night Fang making his eyes turn from yellow to blue at watching his girlfriend cry from her beautiful teal eyes as he slowly said his words.
"Sun..set?"
At that, Night Fang dropped his girlfriend to the floor before he felt the agonizing change back to his normal human self. When he eventually came too, everyone was too scared of him to help or go near him, including Sunset Shimmer who hid from him when he held his hand out to her.
This one action made his heartbreak, but the only one who looked him in the eyes with surprise and anger was Twilight Sparkle who whispered to him but only he heard her loud and clear as though she had shouted her sentence.
"What have you done?"
Night Fang couldn't help but hang his head in sorrow at the pain he had caused to the ones he cared for and the one he loved more than anything in Sunset Shimmer.
As Twilight escorted him out of the building with her friends in tow.
Night Fang got a look at the red mark he had left on Sunset's neck which was starting to bruise causing him to not be able to look the girl he loved in the eye as Sunset Shimmer, who still held her throat from where he grabbed her.
Looked back at Night Fang with tear stained eyes as Night Fang stood outside the portal.
When Twilight had gone through before him, he used this moment to turn to the group and speak.
"It's time...time I went back and answered for my crimes as the were-pony..."
Turns to the girls, especially Lily as she tried to advance and stop him going.
Only for Night Fang to stop her by saying.
"Lily...Look after Loki for me while I'm gone, depending on what happens, I could be home quicker than I think."
Even though she was reluctant, she nodded at Night Fang's words as she took Loki's hand in hers while he was trying to stop the tears from falling.
The one that surprised him, was Sunset Shimmer, who walked up to him with a steeled determination as she took Night Fang's hand shocking him to no end.
"Sunset…"
Sunset hushes him with a hand held in front of him before speaking.
"No Night Fang, if you're going, I'm going, Celestia will have to pull us apart if she thinks I'm letting her have the satisfaction of my boyfriend being arrested or worse, you think I'm gonna just abandon you after your little episode back there, I told you, I'm with you to the end babe."
Night Fang smiled as he took one look towards his brother and his girlfriend and then to the girls around him before he and Sunset stepped through the portal leaving behind everyone for a while.
Unbeknownst to them in the distance, Blackheart smirked in victory while nursing his jaw while with his boys before they went back inside leaving everyone else in the front entrance courtyard.
Loki noticed this however and swore in his mind.
'You want to play dirty Blackheart, we can play dirty.'
Through the portal back to Equestria
The moment Night Fang stepped through the portal into his unicorn self, he had spears pointed at him in every direction as Twilight's guards were waiting on the other side before Twilight spoke again.
"Place him in a bedroom until I contact Princess Celestia, he's had a long day and he needs his rest."
What Twilight wasn't expecting however was one Sunset Shimmer coming through the portal as well just after Night Fang before knocking aside a spear and standing in front of him with her teeth bared and horn bright.
"You want him, you'll have to go through me!"
Sunset Shimmer threatened menacingly until they heard Twilight sigh before she told the guards to stand down as she walked towards Sunset Shimmer with a reluctant look on her face.
"Sunset Shimmer, you followed us here."
Sunset nodded as she pulled Night Fang close to her before saying.
"He's a complete and utter jackass with a big heart but he's my colt friend and I love him, meaning, where he goes, I go."
Twilight Sparkle sighed at her friend's stubbornness at wanting to protect Night Fang, but she had to admire her devotion as she welcomed her into the palace while the guards escorted Night Fang away to his bedroom, that was until Sunset noted the cuffs on his hooves, she noted in her head without Twilight knowing.
'Me and you are gonna have a little chat, you conniving little bitch.'
With Sunset and Twilight
"Sunset..."
Twilight began to say to the unicorn who was walking ahead of her but received a hard glare from the fiery-maned unicorn who had smashed a window with her magic before turning back to the princess of friendship with hell etched upon her face.
"I said help him, NOT imprison him!"
Twilight had to back up slightly at the rage emitting from Sunset Shimmer who was pretty much breathing heavily in Twilight's face before she shoved the unicorn away with her wing before speaking.
"I made a promise to Celestia to bring back the were-ponies that were bitten by Predator back so they could face the crimes we couldn't charge Predator for since he is dead, but after what I saw when he went berserk, I had no choice. HE NEARLY KILLED YOU SUNSET!"
Sunset couldn't believe her ears, how could Twilight do this to some pony who used to love and admire her before he was forced out of Equestria, his own home for Luna's sake.
"HE TRUSTED YOU TWILIGHT, AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY HIM, CHARGING HIM FOR A DEAD MURDERERS CRIMES!"
Twilight felt tears sting her eyes as Sunset Shimmer held firm in her tirade before she picked the frightened princess up by her chest fur and really got in her face with rage, not even Discord could stand against.
"YOU MADE A PROMISE TO A PRINCESS WHO WILL KILL NIGHT FANG IF SHE USED HER MAGIC ON HIM, DO YOU EVER THINK OF ANYONE BUT YOURSELF!"
At that, Twilight felt her fury coming to fruition as she found herself rising to her hooves from Sunset's grip as she used equal ferocity towards the mare in front of her, surprising Sunset Shimmer as Twilight Sparkle began her tirade.
"HE KILLED INNOCENT PONIES WHILE HE WAS UNDER THAT MONSTER'S CONTROL!
I LOVED HIM SUNSET, WITH ALL MY HEART, I PROTECTED HIM FOR SO LONG, SINCE WE WERE THIRTEEN, IF HE HAD HAVE TOLD ME HIS PROBLEM, I WOULD HAVE FOUND A CURE FOR HIM AND I WOULD HAVE HELPED HIM ALONG THE WAY.
BUT THEN HE TURNS SIXTEEN AND THEN POOF, UP AND VANISHES JUST LIKE THAT.
YEARS LATER, JUST AFTER YOU MESSAGE ME THAT HE'S THERE IN YOUR DIMENSION, LIVING LIFE HAPPILY LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED AND GETTING COSY WITH YOU.
HE WAS OBLIVIOUS THAT I STILL LOVED HIM, I WANTED TO TELL HIM I STILL LOVED HIM AND WANTED HIM TO BE MY SPECIAL SOME PONY AGAIN, BUT WHAT HAPPENED THEN WHEN HE TOLD YOU HE LOVED YOU, HE BROKE MY HEART, TAKING THE LOVE I GAVE TO HIM AND GIVING IT TO A WHORSE LIKE YOU"
That did it for Sunset.
The straw that broke the poor camel's back, causing her to snap as she hooked Twilight hard in the face causing her jaw to snap.
The blow stumbled the alicorn but Twilight hoofed Sunset back twice as hard in the snout causing it to bleed heavily.
When Sunset tasted blood, her look turned vicious as she gut punched Twilight before Sunset grabbed Twilight by the horn and slammed her head into the wall repeatedly until the blood began flowing from Twilight's head and muzzle.
When Twilight recovered enough, she tripped Sunset's back legs before the two stood and swung for each other as they traded hoof shots to each other before the guards ran in to separate the two brawling mares who were hell-bent on killing each other.
The guards succeeded in separating the two as the girls were sent to separate rooms to be cleaned up by a nurse.
With Night Fang
The door opens to Night Fang's room showing Sunset with a huge shiner and a bandage on the bridge of her muzzle making Night Fang worry as he rushed over to her and began hugging her tightly at the sight before him.
"What happened to you?"
At that moment after they both had their moments to calm down, Twilight Sparkle walked into the room with a look of sadness on her face, but Sunset doesn't move as she lets Night Fang put the pieces together and it makes him upset.
"Girls, why did you do this?"
Sunset looked at Twilight as they sat with Night Fang on the bed as he stands to address the two firmly.
"This arguing needs to stop right now, I just found out I'm to be put to death in the morning and I want to spend my last night with my mare friend and my friend."
Twilight looked in horror at the statement but Sunset asks with tears in her eyes to see if her boyfriend was telling the truth.
"Are you sure Night?"
Night looks to his ex and his current mare friend with a nod causing Sunset to gulp back the tears threatening to show but Twilight let them flow freely as she hugged Night Fang while crying.
With determination burning in his eyes, he had a plan he was going to use tomorrow, when he was to be executed, he couldn't let the girls know his plan, so with a sigh, he used his magic on himself so he could contact Loki using Celestia's book but Twilight was about to take the book from him with her magic until Night Fang used a spell shield to stop her from doing so with a shake of his head.
"Loki has the right to know."
Twilight nodded in understanding before exiting the room, leaving Night Fang with Sunset as Night used the nearest quill on the desk before he began his message to his brother.
"Loki,
I've been imprisoned in Equestria, I'm being charged in your place and I have fully accepted the crimes from when Predator mind controlled me.
Don't worry about me, I'll be out soon, I'm sending Sunset Shimmer back to keep an eye on you while I'm in Equestria, stay safe, contact me only in an emergency and I'll see you soon little brother.
DO NOT DO ANYTHING STUPID!
-Night Fang"
After writing the message he turned to Sunset and sighed heavily at his next action.
"Sunset, listen very carefully to me, I need you to go back and keep Loki safe for me"
Sunset looked at her boyfriend completely horrified before speaking her mind.
"WHAT, NO I WANT TO STAY WITH YOU"
Sunset couldn't help but feel her heartbreak as Night Fang's horn shined a brilliant red light, he pointed the horn slowly at Sunset Shimmer, with spell charged and crying girlfriend ready, he said with tears in his eyes.
"I'm sorry..."
Sunset gulped as she prepared for the impact of the teleportation spell that would send her back to the human realm, but when she looked at him and heard the last three words he said, her heart completely shattered as she looked at Night Fang's tear soaked eyes.
"...I love you."
The door to the room opened to show the royal guard coming to apprehend Night Fang on a tip-off by Twilight, as he fired off his spell which sent everyone flying into the walls of the room and in a flash a heartbroken Sunset Shimmer was gone and Night Fang had been taken away from the room and prepared to be taken to Canterlot for trial.
