Thursday
Sunset couldn’t keep from shaking as she walked through the forest, all of the trees seeming dead just like from those scenes in movies. The full moon hung high overhead casting an eerie light, throwing shadows from the trees making everything look all that much more spooky. Despite how scary it seemed, and the fact that she had no idea where she was, she wasn’t really scared or even bothered.
“Please help me?” a familiar voice cried as a body crashed into her. Looking down a girl who looked just like Sunset was looking up, pleading for help as the voices of two other girls was getting closer. After realizing Sunset wasn’t going to do anything the girl pushed away and ran farther into the forest the way Sunset had come, moments later two more girls who looked just like Sunset and was dressed in her normal style came through laughing madly while ignoring Sunset herself.
Looking up she could see two large shadows flying at each other, clashing as they met over and over again. She couldn’t make out any details but one looked to have bat like wings and the other seemed to posses ethereal wings. Watching the fight as she kept walking she eventually came to a clearing where several beaten and bruised versions of her were on their knees back to trees with their arms either chained behind them or high over their heads.
“What’s going on?” Sunset asked, not liking the monotone her voice was coming out as. There was several free Sunsets milling about, all of them seeming to have dark auras about them.
“So our prodigal master has returned?” A new voice said from behind Sunset. Spinning around she came face to face with a new version of herself, or at least similar to her. She was dressed in what looked like an outfit that the gargoyle wore from that one cartoon. Her skin and eyes were the same as Sunsets, but she had a forked tongue, long claws for nails, a long prehensile tail that was her skin color with a heart shaped tip and coven hooves for feet. Despite those differences, the one she noticed the most was her increased bust size that she had to admit might even dwarf Fluttershy’s own.
“What’s going on?” Sunset asked, staring at the creature yet unable to summon up much care about what was going on around her.
“Why don’t you just stay here with us, you and I can have a lot of fun I imagine.” The thing said, her voice sounding so smooth and inviting. Something about her wanted to make Sunset stay, but the voice of Fluttershy pulled her from whatever spell had bad making her listless as one of the chained up girls seemed to glow a little. “Looks like you haven’t completely forsaken love completely yet. Just wait though, as soon as you do then you will be all ours.”
The versions of Sunset that was free was laughing as Fluttershy’s voice called out again shattering the scene as if it was glass making Sunset blink several times. When her vision cleared she was in bed with Fluttershy sitting on the edge gently shaking her.
“Shy, what’s going on?” Sunset asked sitting up to look at the other girl.
“I came to make sure you were awake, but couldn’t get you to wake up.” Fluttershy said a little worried.
Sunset rubbed her eyes again trying to figure out what was exactly going on as everything seemed so real. So magical! With her eyes widening even more she remembered the hint of magic filling the air of the forest around her. She guessed it could have just been a dream, possibly caused by the stress she had been under lately despite the happiness that Fluttershy had brought into her life. As for the magic feeling, it could have just been the dream or maybe she could feel the magic building not to far from there as the portal would be charged with enough magic to open in just a few short days.
“Sunny, your worrying me, please say something.” Fluttershy pleaded as she ran her hand up and down Sunset’s arm.
“I’m fine, just a really weird dream.” Sunset yawned looking at the clock wondering how she managed to sleep so late. Giving Fluttershy a peck on the cheek, Sunset climbed out of the bed stretching. She noticed Fluttershy watching and couldn’t help smiling at the girl.
“Do you want to talk about it?” Fluttershy asked, making Sunset pause. Maybe it would be good to talk about it, get an opinion other than herself. Yet Fluttershy didn’t exactly believe her about coming from another dimension and magic so maybe it wasn’t the best idea at the moment.
“It’s fine, just weird dreams. Let’s get ready for school before we’re late. I’ll buy us something on the way.” Sunset said making Fluttershy eep out before agreeing and hurrying to get her shower. Smiling softly as the girl retreated, Sunset tried to think about how nice it was to have someone to care about in this way yet again. She couldn’t keep from worrying though when she tried to admit that she might be able to love Fluttershy. It was like there was a block there keeping her feelings from perhaps deepen any more.
Did she wallow in hatred for so long that she just couldn't physically feel that deep for anyone anymore? That couldn’t be the reason though since she knew she loved her ex, she was a good woman. It had hurt, more than she wanted to admit, when the woman broke up with her. She didn’t hate the woman though, Sunset understood why and remained civil, even friendly with her.
With Fluttershy it was different, she could feel the embers of something there. Of friendship and caring and she desperately wanted to fan those embers into a roaring flame. It just seemed the more she tried the harder it was making her want to cancel their date. At the same time she desperately wanted the date, needed to see if maybe it would help make her feelings blossom more. With a heavy sigh, she went to get ready herself for what would be an uneventful day though she couldn’t keep herself from worrying about what the future might hold.

As I have already said in your previous good work papers and a nice thumbs up for the fantastic job you are doing. Only a doubt I would like to take away: this story and the one that sees Sunset and Fluttershy in Crystal Prep are connected or are two different time lines from the first story of the "sun and the shy" saga? Maybe the question will look a bit cretin, but since my English is a bit painful, some things are not clear to me, in fact sometimes I put a bit to put the pieces together. Anyway I'm still complimenting you for the outstanding work you're doing.
8115149 Thanks, and it's no problem, this story and Rising Shadows are both different timelines. So far, if you prefer the Shadowbolts the stories would go like this:
1) The Sun and the Shy
2) The Sun and the Shy: Rising Shadows
And if you prefer the Wondercolts then the reading order would be:
1) The Sun and the Shy
2) The Sun and the Shy: Canterlot Blues
Thank you very much and happy when my work is enjoyed.
8115174 Thanks a lot for the clarification, I look forward to seeing the chapters of both timelines, even though I confess that we will spend more on the Canterlot High timeline.
wait im confused theres 2 universes for this series
Not very sure about this timeline. I mean, the CPA timeline had more impact to me and I will definitely read that story to it's end... But I don't know. You said the first chapter was just a prologue, so I will just wait until the next chapter and decide if I will track this story too.
Yet I am more inclined to not read this one, since I loved so much the start of it's CPA counterpart. I hope you do not take offense from this comment.
8115193 Your welcome, and hope you enjoy them.
8115198 Yes, as I've said before I plan to do a CHS verson and a CPA one.
8115242 If you enjoy this timeline, that's cool, but if you don't, then please don't feel like you have to read it. And please don't feel bad or feel as if you need to apologize, read what you enjoy and have a good time here. Stressing about stuff so isn't good for you, kind of an expert on stressing this last year. Everyone, including me, has preferences to the types of stories that they enjoy so I don't feel offended at all. For me I like the EG stories better than the pony ones, though I've read some good ones of both. Im happy that you like the CPA route so far though and I hopefully have some good things planned in it that you enjoy.
8115328 ok my bad sorry
8115363 It's cool, just letting you know that yep there's 2 versions.
Wait your writing these in tandem ARE YOU MAD (omg yay) please don't burn out I love these stories , and I trust your judgment here but seriously writing ta some plot lines is not easy
I'm pretty sure there needs to be a couldn't somewhere in "just physically feel"
8116054 Kind of though I will likely give more priority to Rising Shadows, but I don't plan on burning out anytime soon lol. It will be a little hard at times since I may mix things up, and if I end up mixing the two timelines together too much, I may end up finishing one then going back and finishing the other worse case. Hoping it won't come to that though.
8117539 Thank you for catching that, fixed it!
8119245 Isn't Rising Shadows arc 3? Why write them out of order?
Edit: Oh wait nvm it's a split for two different timelines that explains why.
Fascinating
So from what I gather both this and shadows rising work off of the original but go in different directions. Hopefully I got that right because I love this series and want more asap. This is probably the furthest I've ever ventured into AU territory and it's awesome, please keep writing but don't burn yourself out.

This is really good! But you’ve been on hiatus for a long time already, maybe an update or two would be nice. This is getting really good and I really feel like you should continue. Great job so far!
