Chapter 4 Wrathful meeting.
Sunset knew she was a creature of pride but, in this moment she felt more like one of Wraths people than of Pride. Fire burned through her and her eyes glared at the cause of her belli. "Cane long time no see and, finally back I see," sunset her voice tainted with venom.
"Really Pride," Cane sugar said before she interrupted him. "No Cane it's Sunset. Friends call me Pride you lost that when you left," Sunset said. From where they stood Chemical Passion and Cane could see Sunsets eyes change the sclera blacking as her cyan irises took on a luminous quality to them. "Damnit Pride would listen I left for both our sakes. You and I both know I was a time bomb before," Cane said his voice taking a cold tone. He then leaned in towards Sunset. "I'd calm down your eyes are showing by the way," Cane sugar said hoping it would get his former irate friend to see reason.
The changes reversed as angry was over taken by slight panic. Cane even noticed how Sunset seemed to fall into herself. That wasn't right Pride got angry sure but never panicked. It sent red flags up in his mind and had he been rasher he'd of demand what was wrong. "Look we all are clearly not ready to hash it out here so Pride let's just go yeah," Chem said an arm around Sunset and shepherding her out of the cafeteria.
"Sorry about Pride Wrath talk to you later yeah," Passion said to Cane.
"Yeah, sure see you around Lust. What happened to Pride never seen her like that just because of here eyes," Cane said hoping for an answer. Passion shook her head. "Not here I'll explain at the dinner we use to hangout at okay," Passion Fruit said before following after her younger brother and Sunset.

Chem kept his arm around Sunset till she tried to get out from under the half hug. "You okay Pride," Chemical said looking Sunset dead in the eyes. "No, I almost went all fire and brimstone for the second time in front of nearly everyone in school," she said in a stage whisper. "They almost found out that it wasn't some stupid magic tiara that I became that Chemical," Sunset said. "Hey Pride, Sunset look here yeah it's fine no one saw and Wra-Cane saved your ass back there," Chem said his acid green eyes looking at Sunset.
Sunset took a deep breath nodding her head before she saw Passion come walking over. "She going to be okay," Passion asked looking between the two friends. "No biggie Sis she's cool for the most part," Chem said as the PA system turned on.
Sunset Shimmer to the Principles office. Sunset Shimmer to the Principles office.
"What I'd do now," Sunset mumbled to herself before waving bye to Chem and Passion however the two siblings kept a pace behind their shared friend just in case. The door leading into the offices opened and The three caught sight of Vice Principal Luna. "Go on in Sunset and you two need to run off to class next period is almost done with," she said giving out some slips of paper with her signature on it. "That should excuse your tardiness Mr. Bliss Ms.Fruit," Luna then said.

Sunset walked into Celestias' office feeling a bit of uncertainty from what she knew she was still doing detentions after school and she hadn't done anything else to warrant a visit to the Principles office so then why was she now sitting here on the other side of the desk. Celestia looked like she always did immaculate and kind but there was a glimmer of something in her eyes that Sunset couldn't pinpoint. "You wanted to see me Principal Celestia," Sunset said finding her voice.
"Yes Sunset you see after last night's events Luna and I did some digging and well we've found some discrepancy in your paperwork," Celestia said making Sunset's heart plummet into her boots.
"I um I didn't know that," Sunset said the nervous tone easy to hear in her voice.
"Yes it puts down in your address as an condemned apartment complex and the number is from a separate location home to someone who has never heard of a Sunset Shimmer," Celestia said her tone wasn't accusing more worried or was it disappointed Sunset wouldn't be surprised if it was the former instead of the latter. After all her past deeds had caused another Celestia to be disappointed in her so why not add another to the list. "Sunset I want you to be truthful with me do you have a place to stay a home," Celestia said to her and Sunset could see the worry in her Principal's eyes.
Sunset looked to her boots. "In a manner of speaking yes I have a home," she said thinking about her shack that she had been living in since passing through the mirror. "Then why the discrepancy in your paperwork," Celestia said. "You know why, I'm sure the princess told you everything about how I'm not from here," Sunset said snapping before she shrank back into herself. "Yes but I wanted for you to say it not just hear it from a second hand source," Celestia said. Sunset sighed before she spoke "it's a shack hoover ville style not far from school." Sunset relented the heat gone from her tone and her eyes lowered in defeat.
"I see how long," Celestia said her tone odd to Sunset. "Three four years I don't time passes different here from the other side of the mirror," Sunset said looking up to Celestia. "I see well that just leaves us with a few options," Celestia said "We either find you a legal guardian and home," Celestia said. "I'm doing fine on my own," Sunset shot back. "But you shouldn't have to your a sixteen year old girl Sunset you should be worrying about homework and boys or something not weather or not your roof is going to crash in on you," Celestia countered.
"Why do you care now. No one seemed to care before so why do all of you give a shit about me now," she seethed. "Ms.Shimmer, Sunset we just want what's best for you and your health and frankly being in a as you put it hooverville shack is hardly for the best," Celestia said trying to be reasonable with the teen. "Then I'll bunk with Chem him and his Sister are friends," Sunset said looking for away around this. "Yes Passion Fruit is Chemical Bliss's legal guardian however I don't believe she'll be able to financially support both you Chemical and yourself," Celestia said. "Again why do you care you never gave a damn before Prince- Principal Celestia," Sunset said she could feel that fire from the cafeteria and Cane returning and quickly set about shutting it down.
"Because I should have known something was wrong from how you use to act before your change both of them," Celestia said that surprised Sunset Celestia never admitted to being wrong to having missed something but, then this wasn't that Celestia was it. "Then where do I go," she said her voice sounding hollow. Celestia seem to take a breath before speaking. "With me at least let me try to make up for past mistakes in not seeing you needed help," Celestia said and for a second Sunset almost thought it was another one speaking. Sunset sighed before looking back up. "Can I get my stuff before I guess move in with you," Sunset said slumping in the chair. Celestia nodded her head.
