Sunset Shimmer spends a quiet, ordinary afternoon and evening at home.

(Gore tag for self-harm and dark thoughts.)
I know they fake it.
I know they talk about me when they think I can't hear them.
All the promises broken.
All the rumors.
All the nightmares keeping me up at night.
Living...
Is it even worth it?
[Set after Equestria Girls, but before Rainbow Rocks.]

Lately, tons of people on the internet have been referring to Sunset Shimmer as their "waifu". She's caught wind of it, but she's confused. What's a "waifu", and why is everyone saying she's better than other "waifus"?

All Sunset needed to do and had planned, was to visit her friend, Rarity. Until, a mysterious person sobbing and crying in the rain, get's her attention. Sunset decided to help the person out, until she realized it was the blue siren, Sonata Dusk.

Sunset has had the same jacket ever since she came to Canterlot High. Rarity and the girls want to treat her to some new clothes, but some things are too important to be replaced.
