Sunset and Twilight sat in math class together. The teacher had given them time to work on their homework and the two were taking full advantage of it.

Sunset looked over at Twilight. She always had the most adorable look on her face when she was concentrating. Sunset loved watching her work. Loved? Sunset shook her head to clear the thought. “Hey, Twilight, what’d you get for number fifteen?” she asked.

Twilight looked like she’d been broken out of a daze. “Uh,” she said, checking her page. “I got 35.”

“Oh good,” Sunset replied. “So did I. There were a lot of steps so I wanted to make sure I didn’t make a mistake.”

“Like you did during the Friendship Games?” Twilight teased.

“Hey, it’s harder with everyone watching,” Sunset defended.

Twilight laughed. Sunset’s stomach fluttered at the sound. “I have to agree,” Twilight said. “That was a lot of pressure.”

A shadow passed through Twilight’s eyes. Sunset frowned. “What’s wrong?” she asked.

“I was just thinking about how the Friendship Games ended,” Twilight sighed.

“That wasn’t your fault.”

“Everyone says that, but it feels like it was.”

“The guilt does get better. The nightmares, too.”

Twilight shuddered. “I hope so. It seems like so long since I’ve gotten a good night’s sleep. Have they stopped for you then?”

“Mostly. I still have them sometimes when I have a bad day. I know it’s hard, but eventually you just have to move on.”

Twilight sighed. “I figured as much.”

“If you ever need to talk about it, I’m here. I’m sure it would help to have someone who understands.”

“Thanks, Sunset,” Twilight said with a smile.

Sunset silently rejoiced that she had made Twilight smile.
