Derpy sat frozen on the floor hearing the constant whispers of a infamous name, Sunset Shimmer! She held her tray and as she shakes in fear, she looked up. Sunset Shimmer was right there staring down at her angrily with mixed up stains of food from her hair to her skirt. All that was missing was the muffin! Derpy placed the tray over her head as a shield. Snips and Snails suddenly appear from behind Sunset and pull Derpy up to her feet. They spin her and push her in front of Sunset Shimmer.
"Why am not surprise that is Derpy!" Sunset Shimmer said all sour.
"Sorry. It was an accident," Derpy says while still holding the tray as a shield. Sunset Shimmer looks at her annoyed. She hits the tray making it fall out of Derpy's hand. Derpy lets out a squeak.
"What am I going to do with you? Always causing a mess wherever you go!"
Derpy bites her lips. She could now feel all eyes were on her but no one around to save her especially not if it was dealing with Sunset Shimmer. "I wonder! What kind of punishment does a klutz like you deserve for ruining my clothes!"
Derpy could feel her legs shake while her heart beats fast in fear.
At the nurses office. The nurse was eating an apple while she watched a video on her phone. She stops chewing when she feels something odd. She takes out her glass heart and notices the liquid inside was bubbling. "Ditzy Doo!" she says alarmed. She gets up from her seat and leaves the office. She hurries over to where she knows where she might be. She stops when she notices a couple of kids standing around looking into the cafeteria. "So something is going on?" She whispers out loud. The kids shriek and move aside. The doors burst open with Sunset Shimmer laughing as she was followed by Snips and Snails who were laughing alongside with her. The three stopped as they were surprised to see Glow Hearts staring at them. Sunset raised a brow in question, "And you are?"
"I'm the nurse. Nurse Glow Hearts. Did something happened?"
Sunset Glimmer looked surprise as did for Snips and Snails right behind her. "Actually I accidentally bumped into someone and our lunches fell on each other. As you can see," Sunset lied referring to the food on her. "But! I don't think the other girl took it well. She's back at the cafeteria right now if you like to check on her."
"I will but first, are you okay?" Glow Hearts asks.
"I'm fine! Thanks for asking!" says Sunset Shimmer. "I better go now. I got to wash up!"
As Sunset Shimmer was leaving, Glow Hearts could read her heart. "She may end up just being the cause of some of this schools problems while the enemy is here," she says then goes on her way to the cafeteria. There she finds Derpy crying on the floor with food on her but surrounded by other girls. The girls were cleaning the food off her. The nurse read each of the girls hearts. "They're friends," she says with a smile. "I guess I'm not needed."
On the roof of the school. A young man was sitting there as he was feeling all the negative feelings he was getting from his creatures that were wandering around the school. Though he was going to need someone to get a huge amount of negativity to be able to get his monsters and power to grow. All he needed was a new being that could collect it for him but with his enemy in the school that was going to be hard. He needed to find a vessel and he needed one quick! A dark mist from his creature appeared in front him. "News? It better be good!" He says. He touched the mist reading the message. "There's a yellow and red hair girl that can cause mayhem to her peers? Interesting! Since you found her she could be your vessel! Now, go!" He says then the mist disappeared.
At a table in the cafeteria. "You okay, Derpy?" Sweetie Drops asks. "Sorry we couldn't be there for you but you know?" She says sadly.
"I understand and I'm okay" says Derpy. Her friends felt bad for her. "I got an idea!" says Vinyl Scratch. "Let's lighten the mood with some karaoke afterschool at my place!"
"Great idea!" says Octavia Melody.
"What do you think, Derpy?" asks Lyra Heartstring.
"I'd love to but I got to do something first," says Derpy.
All five friends smiled. "Right too busy seeing a certain tinker?" says Lyra in a teasing voice.
Derpy's face shaded red. "N-No! I just need help with a lesson in my homework!"
"Since we're meeting afterschool we can help you!" says Sweetie Drops.
"Yes but-" Derpy was left not sure what to say next.
"How about we let you see Time Turner for half an hour and after you'll come with us to Vinyl's place," says Sweetie Drops as she gives her a wink. Derpy's blushing doesn't fade. She nods her head yes.
In the nurse office. Glow Hearts smiles as she looks at the red liquid grow in her jar. "You have such nice friends, Derpy. Kindhearted ones especially."
In the girl's locker room, Sunset Shimmer was sitting on a bench wearing her p.e. clothes while a towel was wrapped around her hair. She had just finished taking a shower to get rid of the food from her hair. Now she was waiting for Rarity to come. She sent Snips and Snails over to get her so she wouldn't have to be wearing dirty clothes.
"Sunset Shimmer?" Rarity walked in nervously.
"About time!"
"Yes," Rarity wheeled in a whole rack of clothes. "Brought many to choose from!"
Sunset Shimmer looked through the clothing. After searching she finally found one. "At least this one is decent enough!" She took out a light blue blouse. "That will be all!" she says making Rarity leave.
Few minutes later, Sunset Shimmer came out of the locker room changed into her new outfit. "There, I feel better now." She strolled back into the hallways feeling satisfied. There was a black mist lurking behind her. Sunset stopped looking displeased at the mist. "Whatever you are, quit following me!" she says angrily.
"My, my. Didn't expect anyone else to be able to see my monster. So who may you be?" said the voice coming from the mist.
"Sunset Shimmer. If you're from Equestria trying to drag me back so I can be punished then you got to try something better than that!"
"No, no! I'm from a different world! Trying to find someone who I can use for my monsters. One who can cause negativity on others. Negative energy is all I need to gain power."
"Monster and Power?" Sunset was interested. "If I were to let you use me then can I have total control?"
"As long as you're aware of this power, you can."
"Any warning?"
"Yes. I have an enemy lurking around the school. She can destroy that power I give you so be careful!"
"How does your enemy look like? I have knowledge of everyone in the school."
"I wouldn't know. She has the ability to change appearance every time she comes to a new world."
"Bummer! So how are you going to give me this power?"
"Easy as 1,2,3!" The mist goes inside of Sunset Shimmer.
Sunset Shimmer could feel an electric feeling inside of her for a second. After the feeling stops. Smoke leaves from the palm of her hands. She smiles feeling control of the amount of power. "Compare to Equestrian magic, this feels a bit weak."
"It's all I have for this creature. Each of my creatures collect separate amount of energy but if you can cause problems like you already do to the students in this school then you can gain more power that way."
Sunset Shimmer smiles, "That's so easy!"
After school, Derpy was in the science lab. "Forgive me, Derpy but I'll be having to leave early today. I got to get home early. My father messaged me that some relatives had arrived!" says Time Turner.
"It's alright! I got to meet with some friends anyways. They're planning to cheer me up by singing karaoke at one of their homes."
"That's nice but what do you need cheering up if you don't mind me asking?"
Derpy looked down looking sad, "Sunset Shimmer. I accidentally fell and by accident my food fell on her. So as punishment she threw food all over me."
"Food? On you? No way! But you look so nicely dressed right now!" He compliments.
Derpy face blushes.
Before lunch was over, Rarity was nice enough to give her a dress she could wear after witnessing what Sunset did to her in the cafeteria. While the nurse let her change in the school infirmary and her friends helped her clean the food off her hair. Derpy felt grateful for the many friends she had at school to help her.
"Does it really look good on me?" she smiled at Time Turner.
"But of course! You look lovely!" He says with a smile.
Derpy turned red. She could feel her face feel hot while her heart was beating fast. "Time Turner, can I tell you something?"
"Sure! What is it?"
"I.." She looks at him loving that smile she had always loved. "I l-l-lo-..."
Ring!
Ring!
"Sorry, Derpy. That must be one of my parents." He says and answers his phone. "Yes?.....I'm still at school but about to leave.....I know! Just chatting with a friend before I go..... Why?.....A girl but why is that....." Time Turner face blushed. "She's not that kind of friend! Her name is Ditzy Doo! Happy? I'll see you when I get home!" He hangs up his phone. He looks over at Derpy, "Sorry about that. You were saying?"
Derpy had lost all courage after the ring tone ruined the moment. "Oh! It was nothing important!"
"Okay. Shall we get going?" He asks.
"Yeah. Let's go!"
The two gathered their things and left the classroom together. They stopped by Time Turner's locker so he could get more of his books. Derpy noticed students crying as they left the music room. She overheard a few as they passed by her saying how their instruments were found broken. She gasped as she remembered two of her friends were sometimes in the music room. She looked around and found her group of her friends sitting on the stairs comforting the two music lovers.
"Doc, please go on without me. I just found my friends still here." She says.
"Alright. I'll see you tomorrow!"
"Laters, Doc!"
She walks over to her friends. "Vinyl. Octavia. Are you two alright?"
Vinyl wasn't crying but did look upset while Octavia was crying. "Yeah. My older brother already saw the damages. He left to pick up his friend from a music store to see if he can fix it," says Vinyl.
"Good for you! That cello was my thirteenth birthday present!" Octavia sobbed.
Derpy felt bad for friends. She wondered who could've done such a horrible thing. Up on the stairs she notices Sunset Shimmer smiling. She walks up to the rest of the stairs. Derpy looks mad. "I know who did it!" She says and begins to run up the stairs. To their friends surprise they follow right behind her.
Derpy stops at the top of the stairs. Sunset Shimmer was standing against the wall. "Not afraid of me anymore, Derpy?"
When the girls caught up to Derpy, they gasped when they saw Sunset.
"Sunset, from the last two hours I gave you this power did you learn how to use it?" said the voice inside Sunset.
"Not really."
"Concentrate on the energy and with it you can read the negative feelings they each have."
"Alright."
"I'm sure you can use that for your advantage."
