Sunset's Point of View, Sunday 20 September 2015 at 2:30a




I woke up with this weird thirst. Normally when I would wake up in the middle of the night thirsty, I would drink a few cans of soda, but it wasn't that kind of thirst. It was bloodlust.
"Good Lord, I'm thirsty."
I took notice of the house. Even though the lights were off, save for a few phones' charge screens, I could see everything as bright as it would be at noon.
Better eyesight? This HAS to be from being a vampire.
I went against my better instinct and went over to Seth, who was sleeping with Sci-Twi on that pullout couch.
Does this guy REALLY talk in his sleep?
"Sunburst, þú ert uppáhalds bróðir minn. Auðvitað mun ég snúa þér í vampíru."
Sunburst, you're my favorite brother. Of course I'll turn you into a vampire.
You and Sunburst aren't brothers. Hell, you're not even the same-- WHAT THE FUCK!?!? This is that weird language that Seth said something in Friday night!


"Sunset, þú ert svo partý dýr!"
Sunset, you're such a party animal!
"What in the hell did you just say!?" I said, smiling and laughing.
"I said, 'Sunset, you're such a party animal!'!"
"It sure as hell sounded weird!"


"This is freaky," I said, poking him. He immediately woke up.
"Já, sólsetur?"
Yeah, Sunset?
"Okay, so I have a few questions," I panicked, waking up Aunt Luna.
"Hvernig get ég skilið þig þegar þú talar svona núna? Og hvernig í fjandanum get ég talað svona núna!?"
How can I understand you when you talk like this now? And how in the hell can I talk like this now!?
"Það er móðurmál vampíru. Þegar ég sneri þér í einn, þá hafði þú nætursýn, fulla stjórn á öllum hliðum líkamans, getu til að tala þetta tungumál, hraða, mótstöðu og aukið styrk. Áhersla á aukin.Þótt ég hafi enn ekki nákvæmlega mynstrağur af hverju ég hef vængi og þú fékkst ekki neitt."
It's a vampire's native language. When I turned you into one, from that point, you had night vision, full control over EVERY aspect of your body, the ability to speak this language, speed, resistance, and increased strenght. Emphasis on increased. Although I still haven't exactly figured out why I have wings and you didn't get any.
"Halda áfram. Hvað gerir þú fyrir blóð?"
Moving on. What do you do for blood?
"Ég er með lítinn ísskáp sem ég geymi fullt af töskur frá sjúkrahúsinu. Einn af vinum Gregs gefur mér nokkra í einu svo ég þurfi ekki að fara í morðingja eða vekja hina dauðu."
I have a mini fridge that I keep full of bags from the hospital. One of Greg's friends gives me several at a time so I don't have to go on a killing spree, or wake the dead.
He gave me several bags, although I only managed to drink two or three of them before Sunny, Lemon, and Indigo came down with a flashlight and saw my hands and face somewhat covered in the liquid from where I had tried to get an entire bag in my mouth at once.
"Oh my God," Sunny said, the trio scared practically shitless.
Ef augun mín eru rauð og fangarnir mínir eru að sýna þá mun þetta endast hræðilega.
If my eyes are red and my fangs are showing, this will end horribly.
"I just needed a drink, guys! Everything's fine!"
"I have never been this close to a thirsty vampire before," Indigo said, the trio still being very much terrified.
"I'm NOT going to bring myself to do that! Somewhat because it would involve literally killing someone first."
"That's not why we came down here," Lemon said, "Seth has a pet wolf."
"No I don't."
They took both of us upstairs while I finished the bag that I started on when they scared the crap out of me.
In their bedroom, there was a wolf with moderate sap green eyes, a pale light grayish olive tail, pale light grayish gamboge fur, and a stetson hat.
"That would be Applejack," I said as the lycan turned back into the farmer.
"Ow," she said as she looked up at me, "Gah!"
"I was just really thirsty. Now, can we forget this ever happened and just go back to sleep?" I said, going back downstairs to the pile of comforters that I called my bed and went to sleep.




8:43a




"Good morning, Sunset," Fluttershy said to me as I was heating up some tofu-bacon pizza, "Did you sleep good?"
"Já, gerðirðu það?" I replied, turning around to face her.
"Yeah, did you?" I replied, turning around to face her.
"S... Su... Sun... Sun-set? Did you...? Is that...?"
I opened the cabinet that held the mini fridge with the blood bags, "Það er frá sjúkrahúsinu."
I opened the cabinet that held the mini fridge with the blood bags, "It's from the hospital."
She raised an eyebrow.
"It's from the hospital, I replied.
"Oh," she replied, still shook up.
"Yeah, I'm gonna get this blood off of me before Mom wakes up," I said as I went into the bathroom and turned on the sink, only to find that the blood on my face had crusted over.
"Seth? What do you do about this?" I said from the bathroom.
"Handaðu sápu!"
Hand soap!
I was able to get most of the mess off of me, but Sunny, Lemon, and Indigo must've told the others because they were suddenly afraid of me.
"Darling," Human Rarity said, "You're not a bloodthirsty cannibal... are you?"
"No!! For the love of God, is there something horribly wrong with a vampire drinking a few refrigerated bags of blood when she wakes up in the middle of the night!? I mean, I'm still the same damn person!"
"She's got a point," Seth said as he started outside to take the ponies (minus Starlight and Sunburst because they wanted to stay some more) back to the school, "I'll be back."
When he left, I heard a 2011 Ford Fusion stop at the house, then Vinyl and Flash came down through the garage access.
"Sunset, you've gotta watch out for the cops! They are after you!"
"Oh crap," I said, "For what?"
"Sugarcube Café."
"I tried to call, but I didn't get you. All that I got was a robot that said your phone wasn't found. What's up with that!?"
"This is the Canterlot City Police! Open up!"
"You gotta hide! Now!"
"Uh... hang on!" I said, turning my appearance into somebody completely different, "Let me see if this worked!"
I looked into a mirror and found that I was a COMPLETELY different girl, so much to the point where I could be Seth's cousin from Russia, along with a native Russian accent when I spoke. I took that opportunity to change into a set of clothes that Pinkie gave me with Cyrillic stuff on them.
"How did you--"
"Ve'll talk later!" I said, running upstairs to the front door.
Holy fuck, even my voice is different. My fake name is Natalya Smirnov.
"Allo?" I said, opening the door, "Da?"
"I'm officer Carl Rochester. We're looking for a Ms Sunset Shimmer Solaire, ma'am. Have you seen her, Ms?"
"Natalya Smirnov, Seth's cousin. What does she look like?"
"Five-foot-ten, light amber skin, moderate cyan eyes, sometimes crimson, crimson and yellow hair, may have fangs."
"I don't think so. What was she wearing?"
"Where are you from again, Ms Smirnov?"
"Sankt Peterburg, Russia. Now, what was she wearing?"
"Black leather jacket, purple skirt with a bright orange stripe, black boots with a purple line close to the bottom, and an orange shirt with a Sun-like figure on it."
"Are there any features that stand out?"
"The girl did have a Sun brand on her right cheek and on both of her palms."
"I will watch for this girl, though I will be going back to Russia on Friday. How long will this search last?"
"Two weeks, when she is caught, or when she is confirmed dead. Thank you, Ms Smirnov."
"Good day to you as well, officer."
When they left, I went to the bathroom in the basement and lost it.
"Are you okay?" Sugarcoat asked me.
"Get my phone."
She brought my Motorola Droid Razr MAXX to me that Seth gave me as a housewarming gift, then I opened Skype for a video chat with him.
It's in Russian. And I can actually READ it. And probably SPEAK it, too.

I hit the Video call button and he answered, thank God.
"Seth?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm Sunset."
"Prove it."
I changed back to Vampire Sunset Shimmer, "Good enough?"
"Go on."
"Where are you?"
"Stopped at your apartment because the fuzz has a roadblock set up. Why?"
"They're after me for what happened at the restaurant yesterday!"
"I'll be right back."
He must've pressed the button to shut off the camera, not end the call, because I heard yelling and an 1975 Mercedes-Benz V4 engine racing back to the house.
"The police are after my baby!?"
"Yeah," I said, turning back into Natalya Smirnov, "Seth, my Russian alter-ego is Natalya Smirnov."
"Okay," he said, hanging up the phone.
"Okay," Flash said, "Sunset...? Natalya...?"
"It's Natalya. I'm not Sunset Shimmer right now."
"Okay. You are very smart."
"I didn't even know that you could do that as a vampire," Vinyl said, amazed at my transformation.
"Seth has a very different way of doing things. The only explainable way is that there is a method to his madness," Sci-Twi said.
"Oh."
"Now, I need to go to Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna and let them know about this shit."
"I'll start hacking," Sci-Twi said, pulling a small, sapphire-blue Acer laptop out of a compartment in the cupboard, "If I know him, and I'm pretty sure that I do, this should be really easy."
"What do you mean?" I said as she turned on the miniature computer.
"I mean-- Crap. It's not on the-- Woah."
"'Woah' what?" I said, going over to look at it, "Wow."
"There are at least fifty APs that this computer's picking up."
"So?" Rainbow said, "What does that have to do with anything?"
"It's not connected to ANY of them."
"So..."
I started poking around and found the router.
"We can't do anything until someone finds the--"
"The WiFi network is Homo Nosferatu Vampiris, and the password is Vinyl Scratch turned me into a vampire, this is my wireless.," I said, looking behind the mini-fridge that held the blood sacks.
"Typing it in..." she said, typing the sentence in for the password, "Authenticating..." she held the laptop by the sides, "How did you know?"
"This is Seth we're talking about here. Now you hack away and get Principal Celestia's address."
In two minutes flat, she had an address and directions.
"768 South Riverside Drive. Take my DeLorean."
"Thanks," I said as she handed me the keys and directions."



"Wow, they've got a really nice house," I said, getting out of the car and going up to the door.
I hope she's home.
I rang the doorbell, "Just a minute."
Good. Celestia's home.
"Can I help you?"
"Would it be okay if I came in?"
"It would be my pleasure."
Celestia led me to the kitchen table where she and Luna were eating breakfast. Luna was NOT a morning person, judging by the way she glared at me.
"If you bother me, I can think of a hundred different ways to murder you with my coffee," she said as Vampire VP Luna.
"Who are you?" Celestia said, setting a plate of waffles down for me, "Care for for some breakfast?"
"Celestia, Luna, it's me. Sunset Shimmer," Luna woke up and spat out her coffee while Celestia jumped back in shock, "I can prove it," I changed from Natalya Smirnov to my vampire self.
"How did you...?" Celestia said.
"All vampires can do it, sister."
"That was my alter-ego, Natalya Smirnov. She's Seth's cousin from Russia."
"Okay, but why?"
"The fuzz is after me for the other day," I said as Judge Discord and Chrysalis let themselves in. I did not notice that at all.
"Sunset?" Chrysalis said, making me turn around at them, "What happened back there?"
I morphed back into Natalya Smirnov, although I knew it was too late for that.
Please don't call the cops!
"Should we get the police, Honey?" Chrysalis asked Discord.
"Chrys, I don't know that we should be trying to make that decision."
"No. Sunset is doing what she needs to do," Luna said, "The only problem is that she doesn't have a clone she can use to make something like that happen again. There's no telling what would happen to a vampire in the Canterlot/California legal system."
"Well, I can't fake getting killed. That would make my life a living hell," I said, "The cop said that it would go on for two weeks, until I was found, or until I was presumed dead."
"I really don't know what to do other than have you wait the two weeks."
"How fast can you arrange a court date, Discord?" I said.
"What?"
"I need a court date for this afternoon. I don't care what side I'm on."
"Why? The place was destroyed. Assuming that there were any cameras in there, they're gone now. Nobody recorded it, either."
"That might not be true," I said, calling Seth on Skype Video.
"Hello, mysterious cousin from Russia. Did the po-po give you any trouble?"
"They never knew it was me. I want a court date arranged for this afternoon, but I need to have the whole thing recorded on video."
"I had a feeling that I'd need to wear a camera bug to the Café yesterday."
"How much did it pick up?"
"All of it. In 1080p."
"Give it."
"Later, I'm getting you a laptop. Today."
"Why?"
"You know damn-well."
"You should have the video in three... two... one... now. Look in your camera roll."
"I trust you on that."
"Now, when do you want the court?"
"4:00."
"Done. What judge?"
"Judge Discord."
"Done. E-mailing the summons now."
"Thanks. Bye."
When I hung up, I saw the notification that had the summons.

Sunset, here is the court summons. I sent a copy to the CCPD, Judge Discord and his wife, Celestia, and Luna. I'll see you there. Best interest is you on the defensive, so I had to go through all hell to get Gilda to do this.


Everyone's phone pinged with the same message, so I opened up the file.



SUMMONS

Plaintiff: Gilda E. Griffin
Defendant: Sunset S. Solaire
Ms. Sunset S. Solaire:
You are being summoned to appear in the Criminal Violence court on Sunday, September 20, 2015 at 4:00 PM at 672 Beacon Way, Canterlot, CA for the charges of the following:



Attempted Murder

Violence

Assault


Failure to appear in court may result in judgement being declared in your absence, and a minimum of 2 Years jailtime.


"Boo-yah."
"You do realize," Luna said, "if something goes wrong, you will go to prison. Right?"
"Nothing's gonna go wrong," I said, streaming my phone to the TV.
"You know Russian?" Chrys asked.
"Maybe...," I replied, opening the video of the fight from the Café and letting it play, start-to-end.
"We'll still back you."
"Thanks."
I went back over to Seth's house, expecting him to drag me out to his station wagon to get a laptop from somewhere, but that didn't happen.
"I'm gonna wait a bit before dragging you out. How did they take it?"
"It was shocking, to say the least. But I think they took it pretty well."
"Good."




Court




Gilda was at the plaintiff's stand, beat up.
"Got the shit?"
"Yeah. Can you stream your phone onto the wall?"
"Hell, yeah."
Discord went to the Judge's stand, so I morphed back into Sunset, scaring Gilda shitless.
"Rise," everyone got up.
"Sit," everyone sat back down.
"I understand neither of you have requested lawyers."
"I wanna see her ass BEAT!!!"
"And you, Miss Solaire?
"Já. Ég held að ég verði í lagi."
Yeah. I think I'll be fine.
"In English, please? This court does not recognize your language."
"Yeah. I think I'll be fine."
"Very well, then," he said, turning to Gilda, "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?"
"Yeah! What's it to ya?"
"I do not tolerate outbursts like that, Miss Griffin. I will hold you in contempt of court if you keep it up. Now, I understand she tried to kill you? Are you sure?"
She replied with only a stern look that said She sure as fuck did.
"Do you have anything to say in your defense, Miss Solaire."
I streamed the video on the phone onto the wall, scaring everyone even MORE shitless.
"I rule in favor of the defendant."
Gilda ended up going into a fit of rage, resulting in her being led out by a cop.
"What now?" Seth wondered.
"Sleep it off?" I replied "Do something crazy?"




Seth's House




"Well Darling," Rarity said to Seth, "It's been fun, but we must go now."
"Before you leave, if you ever come back, don't bother with the front door. Just come in through the garage access. The keypad entry is 1-2-4-C. I don't care when the hell you come, just be careful when you come down, because you might see something that isn't exactly safe to be around."
Vinyl gave a thumbs-up, then everyone except for Sunburst, Starlight, Sci-Twi, and myself left Seth's house.
"What now?" Sci-Twi said, "This isn't exactly a--"
"I hacked into the school's database," Seth replied, "so just come with us, tomorrow," he said, "making" his bed.
"About that laptop?"
"Greg saw your crap accidentally, so he went and got you something," he said, giving me a box wrapped in brown wrapping paper with the words То: Сунсет Схиммер, Фром: Сетх. Хаппы то хаве ыоу ас а феллоw вампире!
"What is it?"
"Just open it and find out. It's something that I know you'll love."
I tore into the wrapping paper, and it was a box with a red laptop and the word Acer stylized on it.	
"It's an Acer."
The rest of the day went by really fast.
