Twilight and Rarity go shopping together. It's something friends do, and Twilight wants Rarity to be her friend, even though deep down she knows she wants more.
In Equestria, ponies only experience winter until they find their soul mate. Problem is, Sunset isn't in Equestria anymore, and her soul mate is human. And she doesn't know what to do about that at all.
The first time it happened, Sunset didn’t pay it any mind due to the circumstances. The second time it happened, she thought it was simply the action of a concerned friend. The third time it happened, she realized Rarity was flirting with her.
Twilight knows they’re lucky. All her human self wants is to understand how magic works. But she’s in love, and as logical as she tries to be, she can’t handle her human self being around Sunset all of the times she can’t be.

It had seemed like a good idea at the time. The problem was, the last time something seemed like a good idea, it turned Sunset into a raging she-demon. And this idea involved Celestia.
After the Battle of the Bands, Sunset Shimmer tries to find middle ground between the person she wants to be and the person others at school expect her to be. Thankfully, Twilight Sparkle is a good listener and has enough patience for both of them.
