Of course it is. Unity was the one who encouraged Sweetheart to rampage the first time, when she kicked the coffee cup over. After all, rampaging is more fun with company, right?
But it’s not really a term of affection in this case, it’s a sarcastic “endearment”, just like you might hear anyone else use in a similar situation. While most people I know would actually have used the term “sweetheart” in that sentence, Sweetheart — rather than using her own name — chose “sugar”.
Your name is “Skin Horse.” If you start going all “Velveteen Rabbit” then the whole mishmash might ravel. Not until visiting Stavromula Beeta though. Also crossing fingers for the return of the great prophets Zarquon.
Zarquon isn’t due until about two minutes before the end of the universe. I think we can wait. We can get some ouzo at Stavromula Beta in between times, though.
Oh, goodie! When’s the last time any of the gang went on a really good non-VR rampage?

You know it’s serious when Sweetheart doesn’t know whether to be happy or mad about the whole thing.
I mean she’s not wrong…
I could be wrong, but this mat be the first time Sweethearts used an endearment on Unity (Sugar).
Awww.

And you got me wanting you…
