My entry in the second Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Competition! Written in one hour and unedited. Based on the prompt: "Technically Not Terrible."

Flash Sentry is the best kind of friend a girl can talk to about her heartfelt crush... ... ...which will never be him.

Story was written while I was on a depressive sugar high. Yeah, that's a thing. Not it's not. By the way, please do NOT take this story seriously. It's not going to be. It's more of a more or less funny what if-scenario.

Around four years ago a couple of mugs tried to rob Sunset Shimmer, severly injuring her in the process. In the hospital she stayed in a coma, until four years later she wakes. However the world has changed drastically in those four years, namely magic is now her thing and her friends rule the world.

Something terrible.

Something beyond imagination.

If only Queen Chrysalis had any idea what that something was.

I was given the inspiration for this story from a line from this story by TheNewYorkBrony.
