Spells and Louds

Chapter 192: Sunset Shimmer

(January 22, Royal Woods DMV)

Sunset Shimmer comes out of the building looking pleased with herself.

She then sees her mom and dad waiting.

"So, how did it go?" asked Gwen.

"Please say you passed" said Neil nervously.

Sunset chuckles. "I did!" she shows them her license.

Sunset Shimmer A. Spellman, 17, January 22. Spellman Estate.

Neil and Gwen hug Sunset.

"We are so proud of you Sunset!" said Gwen.

"You passed you're driving test!" said Neil.

"Thanks guys, I it wasn't that hard. All I had to do was read from the books" replied Sunset.

"That's my girl" said Gwen.

"Studying hard to the next step in growing up! Nice one" said Neil.

"Thanks guys, it is my birthday today and I know I'm turning seventeen, but I'm still gonna be a Youtuber with the gaming stuff" said Sunset.

"We know, that's what you truly are good at and we support it all the way" said Gwen.

"Plus, it's fun playing with you. Also the Minecraft server is yours and we all share it" replied Neil.

They then get into Neil's car. Neil and Gwen in the front and Sunset in the back.

Then Sunset knows what Neil is planning. "Okay, I know you have a car for me."

Neil stops and is shocked. "Umm, what?"

Gwen looks at Neil. "You got her a car didn't you?"

Neil was now feeling nervous. "Can we … Can we just talk about this when we get home? You still have a party there."

Sunset smirks. "Okay, okay. Tell you what, I'm gonna pretend that there is no car so you can all see the surprised look on my face."

Gwen snickers. "Teasing you father always makes things less tense."

Neil sighs. "This isn't how it was supposed to be." they then drive off back to Spellman Estate.

Neil was feeling worried. 'The car hasn't even arrived yet! What the hell am I gonna do?!'

(Spellman Estate)

They soon make it back home and get out of the car.

"So, everyone's in the backyard?" asked Sunset.

"They are, but you will be surprised" smiled Gwen.

Sunset chuckles. "Okay, okay. Let's go and see the guests."

They all head to the back of the house, Gwen could see that Neil was looking uneasy.

"You okay?"

Neil snaps back to reality. "What? Oh yeah, yeah I'm fine."

Gwen knows he's lying.

When they reach the backyard they are greeted by a surprise from everyone.

Sunset was amused at first, but then she was shocked to see who the guests were.

Let's take a look now shall we: Lincoln, Linka, Luna, Leni, Lori, Luan, Duchess, The Rainbooms, the Dazzles, Timmy, Lily, Courage, their Pokemon, Peter, Sam, Ember, Dana, Becky, Loona, Carol, Diana, Leon, Sergei, Gyro, Pyrrha, Randy, Morgan, Jenny, Martin, Victor, Tadashi, Jack Cyber, Penny, Sci-Twi, Teri, Whitney, Jackie, Mandee, Miguel, Fiona, Chaz, Tad and Boomer.

"This is my first time to be part of a big birthday!" yelled Boomer.

"Who is this guy again?" asked Chaz to Tad. "No clue man."

But what made Sunset shocked are the other guests there! Flash Sentry (human), Princess Twilight, Pony Pinkie Pie, Pony Fluttershy, Starlight Glimmer, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence and Starswirl the Bearded.

Neil and Gwen are also surprised.

"What the hell is this?!" said Neil.

"Were we expecting them to be here?" asked Gwen.

"No, no we weren't" replied Neil.

Sunset goes to them. "Princesses? You're all here? Why?"

Princess Celestia chuckles. "It's your birthday Sunset, we weren't going to let this one slide."

"Indeed, you are a good ally between ponies and other beings. It was only proper for us to come here and celebrate this event" replied Princess Luna.

"And we have met once, when you snuck into my castle to steal the crown. I'm not being rude am i?" said Princess Cadence.

Princess Twilight chuckles nervously. "Sorry Sunset, but these are the Princesses. They can be very persistent when it comes to invites."

Sunset smiles. "No need to worry, I know it wasn't gonna be easy for you. Also I wasn't expecting some of your friends to be here."

She then sees Starlight. "Hi, I'm Starlight Glimmer. I'm Twilight's student and the Guidance counselor of the School of Friendship."

"It's good to see you too. Let me guess, you met Twilight when you were evil?" said Sunset.

Starlight chuckles nervously. "Yeah, yeah I kinda did and it almost ended in complete chaos."

Sunset also chuckles. "Same, I guess we're both bad girls turned good."

"You know it" replied Starlight. They then fist/hoof bump each other.

Sunset was shocked to see Flash Sentry.

"So, you gonna go and talk to him?" asked Princess Twilight.

Sunset smirks. "We both have this awkward relationship with each other, and I'm pretty sure my dad kinda hates him."

"I know Neil will lighten up to him soon" replied Princess Twilight.

"I know, by the way where are the other Ponies?' asked Sunset.

Fluttershy comes in. "They're still in school teaching, Pinkie Pie and I are given some time off to spend some time here with you."

Pinkie Pie then comes out of nowhere. "Yeah, and bet of all. Me and my human self both teamed up and made you a cake!"

Human Pinkie arrives. "And there it is!"

Sunset gazes upon a tall sheet. Rainbow Dash uses her power and she speeds upwards and removes the sheet.

Everyone is shocked to see the size of this cake.

"That is one big cake" said Martin.

"How tall do you think it is?" asked Leon.

Penny flies up. "This thing is twenty feet!"

"What in the hellscapes?!" said Loona.

"At least we have lots of mouths to feed" said Sam.

Lori and some of the teens take a picture of the cake.

What does the cake look like? From the bottom layer all the way to the top, this cake is filled with Vanilla, Chocolate, Velvet, Raspberry, Cheese, Strawberry and the very top is Sunset's cutie mark made of Rice Crispies. Also there's like seventeen layers.

Neil looks to both Pinkie's. "Why would you make it so tall?!"

"What? We thought seventeen layers would be great!" said Human Pinkie.

"Plus, she is turning seventeen now!" said Pony Pinkie.

Both of them sporting their signature Pinkie squeaky smile.

Neil was confused. "Unbelievable, seriously unbelievable!"

Linka and Lincoln go to their dad. "Yeah, next time have someone else make the cake."

"They have a point" said Luna.

Sunset couldn't believe they made all of this for her. "This is just ….. Wow!" She then gets greeted by many of her friends.

"Happy birthday girl!" said Jackie.

"Welcome to the life of being Seventeen Sunset" said Lori.

"You're gonna have to up your studying game" said Dana.

"It is not gonna be easy for you" said Becky.

"But I'm gonna be turning seventeen next month, so I'll be there with you" said Leni.

"Same here Sunset" said Mandee.

"Thanks you guys, this is just so awesome!" said Sunset.

Then they hear someone coughing. Sunset turns around to see Starswirl the Bearded. "May I speak with you Miss Shimmer?"

The others back away. "Oka then" replied Sunset.

She then walks with the old unicorn. "I heard from Twilight about the many bad things you did, I am a bit disappointed that you abandoned your teachings from Princess Celestia, but I am proud that you have learned your lessons after your actions."

Sunset smiles. "Thank you, also it is a true honor to meet you for the first time!"

Starswirl chuckles. "That's what Twilight said when she first met me as well. Though she was more fan girl than you are."

Sunset snickers. "Yeah, I can tell."

"Also, I would like to say that you truly have become the teacher after you helped the Dazzles learn the true meaning of Friendship, and I can see that they are still uneasy about my presence here" said Starswirl.

"Yeah, I can tell" replied Sunset. They both look at the Dazzles who looked fearful of the presence of the bearded unicorn.

Peter and Ember stand next to them with their fiery powers ready, Sam is also helping keep them calm and has her electric powers at the ready.

"Some part of me thinks I shouldn't have come, but Celestia insisted" replied Starswirl.

"She can be very persuasive at times. It's still such an honor to meet you, and I hope the Dazzles will take it easy when your nearby" said Sunset.

"Oh, I don't know if coming here more often is even a good idea. This world is very odd and contains many strange and powerful things" said Starswirl. "It is all curious to me, but the Guardian said he will only let me be here once, then I have to leave. I don't think he likes me."

They both see Gyro looking at him sternly.

"I have no clue why" replied Sunset.

Then they hear the Dazzles, Sam and Luna on stage performing a song for the birthday girl. "What doesn't kill you (Stronger)" I'm pretty sure this is the gift from the Dazzles.

The entire party goes on with such fun and Boomer even brought his Super Kirov to create some party lights.

Neil was still searching the sky for something. Gwen approaches him. "You're wondering where's Sunset's gift is?"

"Yeah, I don't know if it will even come today" replied Neil.

"Whatever happens, I'm sure she'll be okay with it. What matters is that the whole family is here, also it's time for Susnet to see what her pals got her" said Gwen.

Hearing this was not what Neil wanted at the moment. "Dang it!"

Sunset checks out each gift she got from her friends, family and teammates.

Next up was Gwen.

"I'm sure it's gonna be another Chicken Drago Egg" said Leon.

"Definitely" replied Leon.

"A what now?" asked Loona.

And it is., the small egg hatches into a small plush creature that has some sun streaks on its face and some red shades.

Sunset was getting excited. "This is it!"

The little plush takes to the skies and triggers it's wings that are similar to Sunset's it then comes back down hero style and looks similar to the other Chicken Drago eggs from before. Only it's color looks as if it is covered by the Cutie mark of Sunset, has a fiery tail, runed gauntlets and a guitar that matches hers. Oh, and it breathes fire.

It then reverts back to its plush form and chirps.

Sunset picks it up and hugs it. "This is so cool!"

The Rainbooms and Ponies had no idea what just happened, it was their first time to see this strange thing.

"I'm afraid to ask h?"ow that even happened" said Princess Twilight.

"Was that a dragon?" asked Fluttershy.

"That was so cool!" said Rainbow Dash.

"How in the world?!" said Adagio.

"That was … Interesting" said Loona.

"That was not what I was expecting" said Duchess.

"Can someone tell me what I just saw?" asked Tadashi.

Everyone else knew this would happen.

"Yup, Chicken Dragon egg" said Martin.

"She probably still has more for the other kids" said Victor.

Gwen then hugs Sunset. "Happy birthday sweetie."

Then Sunset and Gwen look to Neil, in fact their all looking towards him. 'Oh shit!'

"So, anything from you dad? Is it gonna be a surprise?" teased Sunset.

Neil is nervous, but then he hears a call from his phone. "Excuse me!"

He then comes back minutes later and checks his watch.

"Dude, what was that about?" asked Sergei.

"Wait for it!" replied Neil. Then they spot a Hercules transport fly by and head to the front yard. "Everyone, follow me."

They are all confused but do so.

Gwen walks by her husband. "If your gift to her is that transport. Then I'm gonna freak out."

Neil smirks. "Oh, it's far worse than a transport."

All of them were getting suspicious over this.

They all make it to the front yard and spot the large Hercules transport and its front doors open.

"I'm gonna guess it's in there" said Sergei.

"This should be good" said Leon.

"It's a car isn't it?" asked Tadashi.

"Definitely a car" said Linka.

Neil chuckles. "Oh, it's not just an ordinary car." He then sees the vehicle figure slowly crawl out. "Get the beautiful baby out of there man!"

They all gasp and see the amazing car that's coming out, they have heard of it and seen it on magazines, and it just released this year!

Sunset is shocked out of her mind. "What?!"

The 2020 Ferrari Portofino!

Worthy successor of the Ferrari California T. the Portofino is a retractable hardtop convertible. Its twin-turbo, 3.9L V8 develops almost 600 horsepower and 651 lb-ft torque. The cabin has an enhanced level of luxury, such as 18-way power-adjustable seats and a usable 10.2-inch infotainment display. The perfect Ferrari open-air tourer. Only instead of its classic silver color, it's red with flame streaks on the side and Sunset's Cutie mark on the hood and instead of the signature horse logo, it is an Alicorn.

Those who know this car are blasted out of their minds.

"What in the hell?! A Ferrari?!" yelled Leon.

"Dude, this thing is expensive!" said Boomer.

"Even I don't have this kind of car" said Martin.

"That is totes cool" said Leni.

"Whoa dudes!" said Luna.

"Now that is perfection" said Lincoln.

"Dang right" said Linka and Jordan.

"This is like horrifying!" said Peter.

"Oh wow!" said Rainbow Dash.

"Girl! You are going to be the top talk of the school!" said Mandee.

Gwen looks at Neil. "How. Did. You. Afford. This?"

Neil chuckles and see all of them looking at him. Most have no clue what this is.

"Well, two years ago, I was assigned for a case to help the Ferrari Company against some rivals. We won with the opponents going to jail, they wanted to award me with cash. But then I thought. Nah! Instead they just owe me a little favor and this is what the spoils have gotten me, a Custom made 2020 Ferrari Portofino!"

Sunset then hugs Neil. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much dad!"

Neil smiles and hugs her back. "Happy Birthday Sunset Shimmer."

This truly was a gift for her to always remember. And it also beats the other's gifts.

"Neil, why would you give this to her?" asked Lori.

"Because I'm an awesome kind of dad, also this was the best I could come up with on such short notice" replied Neil.

Sunset and the others go to the car and are amazed at what this thing has to offer. Sunset was so glad she got herself a car that would truly mark it as a teenage dream. Get it?

"So, what is a car?" Celestia asks Luna.

"No idea sister" replied Luna.

"I know what it is and they are awesome! They move really fast and can get us to our destination in style!" said Twilight.

"I have ridden in a car with my siblings before and they're much superior than a horse carriage, and really fast" said Duchess.

"Really now? I guess humans are truly capable of many great things" said Starswirl.

To Neil, there was only one more thing for next month. 'Leni's birthday.'

To be continued …..

Happy Birthday Sunset Shimmer, this is one moment she will never ever forget. I had to do some research on the different Ferrari's released this year and I found one that matches Sunset. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
