Sunset dove into bed only to have her phone go off. She groaned into the sheets on her bed and blindly waved her hand around to grab the wretched thing. She so desperately wanted some sleep. When she had the phone in her hand it quickly found its way on the other side of the room. There was a loud crack as it collided with the wall and she sighed happily as the ringing stopped. Sure she wasn't excited that she'd now have a damaged phone but future Sunset would have to deal with that. Right now present Sunset wanted to get her z's.
She let the warmth of the sheets wrap around her and the scent of clean linen lull her to a light sleep. All the thoughts she had had during the day shifted into the back of her mind as they exchanged themselves for what would eventually become a dream. But that dream would never come, much to her dissatisfaction. The obnoxious ring of her phone woke her from the light sleep she was enjoying for not even 15 whole minutes.
Sunset grabbed her pillow and placed it over her head. But it kept ringing. For over three minutes. She jumped up and snatched the phone up. Angrily, she picked up the call and yelled," WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WANT!!!!!"
"...I-I'm so sorry, Sunset. I di-didn't mean to disturb you..."
Sunset paused. That soft voice...Wait a minute. "Fluttershy?? Wait wait, no! I'm sorry! I was just really tired and the phone kept ringing and...(sigh) I apologize."
Fluttershy? What would she be calling for? She hadn't even spoken to those girls any time recently so how did she even get her number? Sunset glanced at the screen and found her answer. Fluttershy was speaking to her through Pinkie's phone. No wonder. That girl always knew someone's number somehow. If this shy girl has her phone then no doubt she'd be with the other girls...and no doubt she'd be on speaker phone.
Sunset groaned. She wasn't even friendly with them. What do they want? On the phone she could hear people talking to one another before a question was directed to her. "So how are you, Sunset."
The said girl sighed before replying to Rainbow Dash. "Just great. Just great...What are you calling for."
"We just want to know how you're doing at your new school!" Pinkie chirped.
The fiery headed one covered her ear and said," I told you it's juuuust great."
"Good. Good. So...what might you be doin' now?"
"Talking to all of you, Applejack."
"Oh. Uh...hehehe..."
Sunset could hear Rarity groan and telling her to hand over the phone. "Sunset, darling?"
"Yes. What do you guys want. I'm trying to sleep and you're interrupting me. We can 'catch up' some other time. Actually, I don't care to so I'm just going to hang up and--"
"We just need to know if you've seen Twilight anywhere!" Rarity said quickly. "Just tell us this."
Sunset rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I have. I'm hangin--"
"Where have you seen her?"
"Uh, where I am. But don't try and look for her. She's not the one you want." And with that, she hung up. Collapsing onto the bed she yawned and closed her eyes, letting the world around her disappear as she slipped into a realm of fantasy.
Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie all looked at the phone as Sunset Shimmer hung up. they were silent for a while until Rainbow spoke. "Can anyone tell me what she meant by that last part?"
Applejack scratched her neck. "What duh you mean, Dash?"
"What do you mean what do you mean about what she meant??" Rainbow repeated. "What I mean is what does she mean by Twilight not being the one we want!"
"...Come again?" the cowgirl said.
"What do you mean what do you mean about what she meant and what she didn't mean and what she could've meant but didn't mean at the moment but might totally have meant in the future?" Pinkie added, clearly aware of what Rainbow was saying.
"...What?" Fluttershy murmured.
Before Applejack could say a word Rarity placed a hand on her shoulder and shook her head. "Lets just stick to what we know for certain since you three are clearly confusing each other. From what Sunset has told us we know that Twilight is somewhere around where Sunset is."
"So you mean that Sunset could mean that Twilight is around the city border of Pointeville-Canterlot or she could mean she's hanging around the high school she's attending, right?"
Rarity shot a look at the pink party person. "...Yes."
Fluttershy tilted her head still trying to figure out what was going on. Applejack adjusted her hat and said," So then after the Spring Fling, Twilight headed over there? But why?"
Rainbow shrugged. "Twilight never told us why. She just left us without saying anything regarding what was on her mind. She wouldn't have gone through the mirror just to go dancing."
"Exactly! Which is why we need to pinpoint where Twilight is and ask her stuff!" Pinkie yelled. "Some super duper secret thing must be going on if she avoided us like that. A spy mission no doubt!"
"I'm pretty sure it's not anything with spies," Fluttershy commented quietly, but went unheard.
"After school, lets meet at the soccer field and then head off toward Pointeville. We're going to crack this case!" an excited athlete told them.
"And you mean 'crack the case' as in solve the problem, not meaning literally cracking a case of eggs, right?" Pinkie asked.
Applejack, Rarity, and Dash all groaned. Fluttershy just furrowed her brow and said," What?"
These girls sure are daft.
What's so hard to understand about "this isn't the girl you're looking for."
So your girlfriend died her hair purple and you immediately wrote a chapter about our favorite purple pony? Granted, her mane is navy blue, but there's a purple streak and the rest of her is purple!
6417518 yep
these aren't the droids you're looking for
6417518
Either daft or spoony, I'm not sure which.
6417986 Pinkie then, wasn't she the gypsy bard?
who's on first again?
6418850 Exactly.
Are these 5 just stupid or were they dropped as children. Seriously, what part of "this isn't the girl you're looking for" don't they understand. And why are they calling to ask Sunset now? They could have possibly called earlier instead of waiting almost a week or more to call. Some friends they are turning out to be.
6421316 Sunset's transfer wasn't immediately after the Spring Fling. They called her on her second day at Pointeville. Now why they waited a week will be explained later in the story. It may seem obvious to you readers what Sunset meant about Twilight not being "the right girl" but to them it isn't. Remember that they are only aware of Princess Twilight and do not know about Sunset's double, therefore they would not automatically think "Oh! It has to be the human one!"
They do know that they have human versions but because they themselves are not thinking about otherworldly duplicates of people, the statement would be confusing.
6421704 But still you would think when Pinkie Pie said that Twilight was from an alternate dimension, and Twilight said the Mane 5 looked like her friends (can't remember if she said in first or second movie, or not at all. All I know is that it was mentioned), you would think, 'There are pony versions of us in this other dimension and Twilight is from that dimension. Maybe there is a Twilight here?' I don't know, I feel like this would be obvious and they would at least think this. But then again, this is just me. But I also have a fun question for you. If you met a pony version of yourself right now, what would you do?
6424760 Oh wow! If I met a pony version of myself I'd be freaking out! No doubt I'll be looking real cute too! Without even thinking I'm sure I'd make my pony version my pet.
6424964 Haha! Me, my brain would probably crash. Then I would call my pony self cute and probably get knocked out. Or, my personal favorite, I'd have to keep my pony self away from crazy brony fan boys. I'd like to think this music would play.
!
After the second half I was just like:
Wait... wut?
Anyways, long time no see
Didja miss me?
6432162 You've been gone a while! What's up, dude!
6433277
yeah, summer vacation was a bit... er... different.
Essentially I was a tad bit depressed the whole time, barely talked to anyone other than family and the of my friends over Skype, then I went to greece four the weeks, mostly stoppped being depressed, then I got back and started learning japanese, whilst keeping my previous schedule of gaming all day, then school started and, and... well that's pretty much it.
But now I'm back to "normal," and with that, I also came back to fimfiction, although to be honest idk why I left.
So how've you been?
6434997 I just came back from a concert I performed in with my orchestra at school. I did nothing this whole summer but be lazy and promise to write chapters that kinda didn't get written on time. I'm glad your depression is over with. No one should be sad.
Hmmm, Sunset Shimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Twilight Sparkle are going to be a little confused and only Sunset Shimmer will know what is going on. So many repeated names, I see more "wut" happening when they meet.
6438535 Regional thing I'm sure. Also, thanks for showing me all the errors in my chapters. I will correct them shortly.
It's cuz she said it wrong that they misunderstood. It's "This is not the Twilight you are looking for"
6442971 I'm grateful that you're pointing out some of my most common mistakes that I haven't recognized. Hopefully, it isn't making the read unpleasant with all of the errors.
up the call and yelled," WHAT IS IT
her ear and said," I told you
her hat and said," So then after
lets meet at the soccer field
1, 2 & 3. Spacing in the wrong place again.
4. Let's.
6443498 Naww, it's just a thing that I do habitually nowadays on stories that I come across. Helps me improve my own language skills through trial and error. But yeah, those girls are daft. Which brings us back to the point where Sunset left their school where those five were cheered on by every other student for chasing Sunset away. You can't change yourself for the better if others aren't willing to change with you. And so the cycle of hate continues.
6452656 It's like me being in secondary school for British people, only I'm in America. I'm in High School now.
6455177 What the heck is British Secondary School??? O.O
Anyone who's seen this would understand.
Not the one. Babylon five.
