//------------------------------// // Chapter 4: New Home, New Friends // Story: The Lost Shimmering Sun // by Pinkie Pie Sweets //------------------------------// After another week in the hospital: Sunset Shimmer is finally getting out of the hospital. Her leg may feel a bit funny for a little while from being in a cast but she can manage. She tries one of the outfits that Rarity made her and she is wearing a leather jacket with on the collar, a magenta sleeve less shirt with a black ribbon to tie it on the back of her neck, an orange skirt with a purple and yellow strip on the right side and black boots with magenta flames on it. Just then Discord and Screwball come in through the door. "Good morning Sun, are you ready to go?" Discord asks happily. "Yes I'm ready," Sun replies. "Okay now let's get you to your new home," Screwball replies happily. "Okay," Sun replies. At that time Discord fills out the papers and Sun also has to sign some papers to but her writing could use a little more work. Sun also make sure she has all of her belongings before leaving. After that Tall three of them starts to make their way to the house. At that moment Discord find his van. "Okay now let's get in the car," Discord replies. "Okay," Screwball replies. Sun looks at the van and screams and falls down. Then she covers herself with her arms like she was scared. "Sun, are you alright?" Screwball asks worried. Discord sees Sun's reaction then the explanation hit him, "Screwy, I think Sun is scared of the van." "But why?" Screwball asks. "Well Sun did got hit by a van, remember," Discord answers. "Oh, I see. Don't worry Sun the van isn't going to hurt you," Screwball says trying to calm Sun down. "Are you sure?" Sun asks sacredly. "Of course we're sure, now let's get you in," Discord replies. It wasn't easy for Sun to be inside the car. Screwball had to teach her how to put on her seat belt before they leave to the house. 30 minutes later: They arrived at their house. When Sun sees the house it look very different from the rest. The house was in strange colors it almost look like a fun house. "Okay Sun we're at your now home," Screwball replies. She also notice that the house next door is red and it looks like a red barn and behind it looks like a big apple orchard in their back yard. "Screwball who live in that house with the apple trees?" Sun asks. "Oh, that's the apple family's house," Screwball answers. "Apple family?" Sun says confused. "The Apple family are in charge of all the apple in town and lucky for you there's a girls who is also the same age as you living in that house," Discord replies. "Really," Sun says happily. Which means there will be a new friend for her. "Yeah, and look there they are now," Screwball says pointing outside the window. Sun heads towards the window to see a girls a little taller than her, her name is Applejack. She is a light orange skin girl with white freckles on her face, and blond hair with a big bang and on the bottom of her hair is a red hair band. She is wearing a tan brown cowboy hat, a white shirt with a green part on the top and sleeves tucked in, a jean skirt, and brown cowboy boots with three apples on each side. Next to her is a little girl, her name is Apple Bloom. She has light yellowish, magenta like hair with a pink ribbon on it. She is wearing a green shirt with jeans, and light orange boots with some reddish lining on it. When they all got out of the van the little girl with the ribbon heads towards them. "Hey Screwball, how you're doing?" Apple Bloom asks happily. "Hi Apple Bloom, I'm doing fine." Screwball replies. "Hey Screwy," Applejack replies. Applejack and Apple were going to ask of her where about, until Applejack notices Sun. "Hey, I know you," Applejack says. "You do?" Sun ask confused. "Yeah you're the girl that appeared on the news, and my friend Rarity told me about," Applejack answers. "You know Rarity?" Sun asks. "Yes, Rarity told me of what happened." Applejack answers sadly. "By the way I'm Applejack and this is my sister Apple Bloom," Applejack says. "Hello my name is Sun," Sun replies. "Nice to meet you," Apple Bloom replies. "So I heard Discord is going to be takin care of ya?" Applejack asks. "Yes," Sun answers. "Well I'm glad I get to have you for a neighbor now," Applejack replies. "Sure I guess," Sun says unsure about this. "Now don't you frat, I'm sure Discord will take very good care of you," Applejack replies. "Sun are you going to be going to our school?" Apple Bloom asks. "I don't know, I'm still a little unsure about all this," Sun answers with uncertainty. "Now don't get you tail in a bunch, I'm sure you're able to handle this," Applejack says. "Thanks Applejack," Sun says. "So do you think we can be friends?" Sun asks. "Why sure, and I can introduce you to my other friends," Applejack asks. "Okay," Sun replies. "Come on Sun, dad and I want to show you your room," Screwball says. "Okay. I guess I'll see you later," Sun replies, "Bye," Applejack and Apple Bloom say at the same time. With that Sun goes off with Screwball to see her new house. When she got inside she can till it looks a lot more colorful in the inside as much as the outside of the house. "Wow, your house is very colorful," Sun replies. "Thanks we get that a lot," Discord replies. Then he says, "Now let's us show you to your room." Discord and Screwball goes up stairs and Sun simply follows them. "This room is my, and your room is across from mine," Screwball replies. When Screwball opens the door, Sun can see that her room has a nice long bed, a dresser, a big rectangle mirror, a closet, and a desk a chair with a square mirror on it. "I think its looks nice," Sun replies. "I'm glad you like it, even if it is a little plain," Discord replies. Then he says, "Well we'll let you get settle in, while I'll call Celestia," "How come?" Sun asks. "Because, at your age you need to get some education, so Celestia is planning on coming to the house tomorrow to give you some boring test for you to take tomorrow," Discord replies a little annoyed. "Oh," Sun replies. After Discord and Screwball leaves, Sun is still getting used to being in her new life. Plus there something strange about that book she has, in fact she remember the doctor telling her that there's nothing written in it. She isn't sure about writing anything in herself. She is also very skeptic about the coins and gems that she has, and she does like the quill. But she knows that she has a lot to learn if she is going to live in this world. That night Sun starts to get ready for bed. She tries on the pajamas that Rarity game her. It is a long sleeve magenta night gown, on the bottom it there is an orange and yellow strip horizontal, and on her chest is the red and yellow shimmering sun. Sun feels like she doesn't wear clothes too much, but really like wearing them. She took off her necklace and put it on the dresser. Then she went off to sleep waiting what tomorrow has to bring.
