//------------------------------// // Chapter 3: Sunset's Daycare Delight: Part 1 of 2: Daycare Anxiety // Story: One little Sunset // by Grand-Galvatron //------------------------------// Sunset Shimmer Age: 6 years old "Alright Sunset, we're here," Celestia said to Sunset as they parked near the Canterlot Daycare Center. "I bet you are going to have so much fun over there." However, Celestia could see that Sunset looked very nervous, as she's never been to a daycare center before. "Mo-Mommy, what if I say something and they don't like me," Sunset said with an anxious look on her face. "Sunset, don't worry, you'll be fine," Celestia said. After Celestia signed the paperwork that the daycare required, Celestia then said, "Alright Sunset, I hope you have a good day at daycare today, we won't be able to pick you up since we're working late so you'll have to walk home." Sunset didn't mind this since the daycare was only 5 minutes minutes away from her house. Sunset was also very independent so she didn't really need a lot of help from her parents, for example, she learned how to walk all by herself, in which both Celestia and Luna were really proud of. "Just be sure to be home by 7:00, since the daycare closed at 6:00," Celestia said as she gave a goodbye hug to Sunset. "Bye Mommy," Sunset said as she entered the Daycare. "Why hello there, you must be Sunset, Gloriosa Daisy, the instructor of the daycare, said. "You look like the cutest little thing I have ever seen," Gloriosa said, making Sunset blush a little. "T-Thank you Mrs. Daisy," Sunset said nervously. "Here, why don't I take you to see the other kids," Gloriosa said. "Oh, ok," Sunset said as her heart started pounding when she said that. Sunset knew that she was not good at public speaking, and she was afraid that none of the students were going to like her. When Sunset entered into the children's room, she saw that there were about 22 kids inside the room. This made Sunset start to panic a little. "Alright everyone, can I have all of your attention please," Gloriosa said as all the kids stopped whatever they were doing and turned to face their teacher. "I would like to introduce all of you to our new student, Sunset Shimmer, I would like all of you to treat her with kindness and respect," Gloriosa said, as the other kids replied with, "Yes, Mrs. Daisy." "Alright, Sunset, why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself so we can get to know you better," Gloriosa said. "H-He-Hello everyone, my n-name is Sunset Shi-Shimmer, I am 7 years old and m-m-my favorite animals are c-cats," Sunset said, all the while, sweating profusely from her anxiety. "I ho-hope that w-we can all be good...great fr-friends." Sunset finally sat down in her seat as she felt a surge of relief flow through her body. Sunset was only thinking about she was going to be doing for the rest of the day. Will continue in the next forum: Sunset's Daycare Delight: Part 2 of 2: Meeting and helping some new friends.
