Ninja-go: Way of the Ninja // by SunsetShimmer222 //------------------------------// Sunset gasps, as she jerks up from the bed. Her eyes adjust to the bright room as she looks around. "W-where am I?" The bedroom she's in was nothing close to her room at home. Instead of it being small and messy with clothing and other objects laying on the floor. She's in a fairly large room with laying in a queen size bed with silk sheets. Sunset winced as she sat up, she's wearing a long sleeve white shirt and loose pants. She lifts her shirt a bit, her abdomen wrapped in bandages where her wound is. "I need to get out of here." The red haired girl stands up and walks over to the large door that leads to the balcony. She opens the curtains and then door, the sun shines brightly as the wind blows. "Holy shit...!" Sunset says as she peers over the white quartz railing. Below her is Canterlot City spread out as far as the eye can see. "Whoa, Sunburst is gonna love-" She frowns stopping herself. "That's right... He's not here anymore." "But I need to get out of here." Sunset climbs over the railing and hangs onto a pillar and slides down to a nearby ledge. Up above where she recently was, a maid and two guards walk into the now empty room. "She's gone, tell the princess that the girl has escaped!" One guards tells the maid who nods leaving the room in a hurry. He then turns towards his friend. "Let Commander Spitfire know that our guest has gone missing. I'll start looking for the kid, she's injured so she couldn't have gotten far." ○◔◗◕● In another part of the Castle, in side a lounge room with a luxurious couch and two couch chairs that look just as comfortable surround a wooden table. On the floor various different pillows of various shades of purple and sizes littered around the area. Inside this room are five girls, the oldest in the group Applejack. A tall blonde with green eyes and freckles sat on the left side of the couch with her hat on her face. Next to her is Fluttershy, a nice and shy kind of girl. Her long light pink hair covers her left eye, she's currently fidgeting the end of her skirt her eyes darting from the floor to the rainbow haired chick pacing around the room. "Ok, I'll bite." Applejack sits up. "What's the matter now Rainbow Dash." Rainbow Dash stops and looks at the blonde. "I'm perfectly fine, it's not like I didn't get attacked by nightmare creatures and then getting told I'm supposed to help save the world! No no everything is just great!" Rainbow huffed and flopped on one of the pillows on the floor right next to another girl. "Oh cheer up! We're in Princess Celestia's Castle fore Pete's sake!" The pink curly haired girl smiles. "Besides, that Twilight girl said she'd explain everything once the last person gets here!" "Pinkie... Love the enthusiasm but, I just need to know if my folks will be alright while I'm gone." Rainbow sighed looking up at the ceiling. "I kinda understand where you're coming from. One of those things almost took mah sister, if it wasn't for princess Twilight I don't even wanna think about that." Said Applejack. "At least this'll be a fun experience to look back on," Rarity, the second eldest out the five of them. "If we live to the end of whatever is going to happen." Said Rainbow, making the young fashionista glare. "Just trying to light up the mood darling, no need to have an attitude." "Well... While we're waiting, maybe we can all start introducing ourselves..." Fluttershy who's been quiet throughout the whole thing speaks. "So she does talk!" Rainbow shouts. "That's a great idea! I'll go first!" Pinkie jumps up. As the girls start conversing and getting to know each other, outside in the castle court yard Twilight the princess of friendship is seen walking from Celestia's throne room. She had just finished reporting to Celestia about her successfully find five out of the six elemental bearers. The sixth one was supposedly in one of the guest rooms healing but disappear earlier this morning. Twilight felt bad for the girl honestly, she had heard that they're younger brother had been captured by Nightmare Moon's soldiers. Twilight couldn't help but feel sympathy for the girl, she too had a brother. Her older brother Shining Armor is part of the royal guard and had went with her mentor to find the girl. So she's now on the lookout for the sixth bearer while she's on her way to the other five. 'Maybe I can convince her to come with me. I can't be too forcefully though! She's probably just scared, I mean she did just lose her little brother... It's okay Twilight, you got this!' As the young princess is stuck in her thoughts, someone collides into her making the princess drop all the scrolls and books in her hands. "Oh, crap! Sorry, sorry!" A young female voice says. Twilight looks up, her eyes widen as her cheeks flushed bright red. Above reaching their hand out is Sunset, her red and gold streaked hair looking disheveled but beautiful at the same time. "Are you okay?"
