//------------------------------// // Potion // Story: Sunset Repeat Life // by Akimura //------------------------------// Sunset and Twilight were experimenting with potions at Twilight's house, they were just making potions, the other girls would come to Twilight's house because they also wanted to experiment. Sunset is making a potion to revive her wilted sunflowers.  "I hope this really works!" She said very enthusiastically. Twilight asked Sunset "I hate to say this, but you can grow new ones, right?" Sunset answered with a joking laugh "Actually I want to, but I'm too lazy to wait 70-100 days" She answered with a laugh, Twilight understood what she meant. Then, Pinkie Pie came and surprised them both "WUUHUUU! Hey you guys! Pinkie has come with delicious Cupcakes!" Twilight and Sunset were shocked, it made their potions explode due to a brewing error. Twilight yelled at Pinkie "Pinkie! You surprised me!" Pinkie apologized in her usual enthusiastic tone "Oops, sorry, I didn't mean to. By the way, where is Sunset?" "Right behind– Hey.. Where did she go?"  Twilight replied in surprise, where did Sunset go? Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Applejack then entered the room. Rarity enthusiastically wanted to convey the good news about her boutique "Oh, hi darling. I have a good news and–" Rarity looked at the small child in front of her, Rarity was surprised and so were the others too "Wait? Who is this kid?" Rarity approached the child, and the child cried.  "Don't hit me! I promise I'll be a good girl..!" The girls looked surprised to see the little girl, it turned out she was Sunset. But they were also surprised by her words. Everyone shouted at Sunset "S-sunset?!" Sunset realized something, naturally she felt that this wasn't Canterlot, because their form was even different from the other Ponies. As soon as Sunset saw them, she realized that she was also not a Pony, but a Human.  He was surprised at what had happened to her and cried even harder. Rainbow was surprised, then asked Twilight "Wait.. How can she be a child?" "That's.. Short story.. But we have to calm her down nowwwww!!" Twilight answered in a panicked tone because Sunset was crying. Fluttershy approached Sunset "Shhh... Don't cry, we won't do anything to you" she said in a soft voice. Hearing that, Sunset stopped crying and won herself over.  Fluttershy hugged him and stroked her head.  "It's okay.. You're safe sweetie" Applejack was still amazed by Sunset's words, it made her head spin "Okay... Didn't any of you notice? If Sunset said earlier "Don't hit me, I promise I'll be a good girl", that's... Weird.." Hearing Applejack, the girls fell silent. Start thinking about something. What happened to her? Is there something that makes her uncomfortable? Twilight tried to say hello to Sunset "Hey uh.. Sunset? I'm Twilight, nice to meet you" Sunset also turned to Twilight and hid from her behind Fluttershy. Everyone looked confused, Is she scared with us? But why? Sunset asked "W-who are you..?" Twilight answered back "Eeh... I'm Twilight, the one with pink hair is Pinkie Pie, in front of you is Fluttershy who calmed you down, the rainbow hair is Rainbow Dash, the one with purple hair is Rarity, and the one wearing the hat is Applejack. Nice to meet you Sunset" She said kindly. Sunset looked at them and tried to remember them. Should I trust them? What if they are bad pony..?  Sunset's face was confused and scared. Twilight started to approach Sunset, but Sunset hid behind Fluttershy covering her face so as not to meet her face. "Hey? Sunset? How are you?" Sunset didn't answer. Everyone in the room looked confused and everyone became silent. Then Sunset cried again and yelled "I want to go home! This place is strange..!" Of course, they knew that Sunset was not from this world, but from Equestria. Pinkie Pie approached Sunset to make her smile. "Hello Sunset! I'm Pinkie! I have 356,798 Cupcakes in my house! But my sister Maud only has a stone named Blouder, she takes good care of it!" Sunset was wondered, Why would someone taking care just for a "stone" (?) Her gaze remained at Pinkie full of astonishment. "Why did your sister take care of stones?" "Because she said.. She loved it!" Pinkie answered. Sunset tried to figure it out, making a cute expression on her face while she was thinking. The girls couldn't help but smile seeing her thinking about that. Then Applejack realized something "Hey.. Since when did Sunset have a wound on her arm? That feeling wasn't there before–.." Fluttershy looked at Sunset's wound "You're right... Moreover, the wound is serious and bleeding... Let me treat you Sunshine" Fluttershy also treated the wound on Sunset's arm. "Done! How do you feel now Sunshine?" "Much better.. I guess–" The little girl answered. "Sunset darling, where did you get that wound?" Rarity asked worriedly. Sunset was silent, not answering Rarity's question. Rarity who saw it assured her that Sunset answered "Come on darling, tell to us, we won't do anything to you" Sunset was silent for a moment then answered "F-from mom..." She answered with teary eyes. The girls were shocked and the room became silent. What did she mean by her mother? Was it his mother who hurt her? But.. That feels impossible.. Because Sunset is here, her mother's not here, and we never even saw her mother–.. "I think she gets this wound from his past .. I mean, when Sunset becomes a small child, emm.. Around 6-7 years I think, maybe that is where the sunset gets the wound from her mother.." Twilight thought and feel worried to her. "So Sunset sweetie, why your mother hurt you?" Ask Rarity full of curiosity and worry. "B-because... I broke a plate in the kitchen..." Sunset answered with teary eyes. Pinkie Pie sighed "What?! Just a little thing?!" She shouted. "M-mom said I deserved it..!" Tears came out of Sunset's eyes. Everyone in the room was shocked, especially when they heard Sunset say 'I deserve it' What in the world was actually going through her minds?! Why do she have to hit her own child..?! Their minds were swirling with a thousand questions. "W-we're so sorry Sunshine.. We didn't know.." Flutterhy apologized. Sunset was just silent trying to hold back her tears, Fluttershy hugged Sunset back "Calm down.. You're safe now Sunshine, you're safe with us" "Yeah! We'll make sure you're okay!" Applejack and Rainbow Dash added. "Should we–" Twilight suggested something but Pinkie cut her off. "Hey, how about we do a girls party at my house! Oow oow! I have lots of interesting things for OUR BEST PARTY with little Sunny!!" Pinkie said it very cheerfully. "I think that's a good idea" Applejack agreed with Pinkie. "Cool! We can fight in the game again!" Rainbow agrees and challenges Applejack. "Huh, I will won again now" "Or I think no" "Guys!" Twilight shouted, scaring Sunset even more and hugging Fluttershy to hide from Twilight. Twilight felt embarrassed from her scream "Sorry–.. But should we tell the other Me– aa I mean Princess Twilight in Equestria?" "I don't think that's necessary dear, besides she's probably busy and we can also look after Sunset together" Rarity answered confidently. The other girls nodded in agreement with Rarity.  Fluttershy looked around and felt something was missing "Hey, where's Spike?" Twilight was silent, cause she hearing the sound of Spike's footsteps "Don't worry, he'll be here in three, two one–" "Hey everyone am I–" Spike came into the room, shocked and ask "Hey.. Who's that kid?" "And here we go" Twilight said in a bored tone. The girl's in room laughed. Sunset shocked, she nevered hear dog was talking "A talking dog..?!" "Here we go again.." Twilight sigh.
