//------------------------------// // Sunset Shimmer and The Newspaper Article // Story: An Anthology of Interest // by AaronLancs //------------------------------// Within the City there was a weird vibe going on. A sense of renewal was in the air. On the one hand, at its most prestigious school Crystal Prep, the students were learning how to work in conjunction with each other. On the other, at the other school Canterlot High, the bonds of friendship that were nearly severed became stronger than ever. Plus the City's retreat, Camp Everfree was regaining the reputation it once had. In her house, Sunset Shimmer lay on her bed staring at the ceiling. Numerous thoughts whizzing around the brain, she checked her clock, it said 04:15, too early to get up, she thought. So she went over to her desk to look at her "to do" list and looked at the first item. It said "Report for the Horseshoes Trail". The City's newspaper. She remembered that she agreed to do an article on how the City was bouncing back a lot more solid. So she cleared her mind and when to sleep. > A FEW HOURS LATER < She found herself in the office of the Horseshoes Trail's editor, Main Edition, who gave her an interesting brief. "As I understand it Sunset," said Main. "You seem to be the eye in the storm of unity that is sweeping over this City. From being the monster student who wanted to take over your home territory with a zombie army, to, saving the most beloved holiday destination that we all rely on in this City." "Yes sir," said Sunset. "What do you want me to do?" "I want you to do an article on you, the renegade student to the City unifier. A concise story of you." "Why, thank you. I'll see what I can do." Sunset proffered. "When do you want it for?" "Well," Main said. "The next 'Focus On' article is three weeks away so you have two weeks at least, is that okay?" "Yes, thank you very much." > SEVERAL HOURS LATER < As she found herself sat at her computer, she wondered what to write. She started to type and let a stream of conscious missive come out of herself and when she finished was pleased with it. She messaged it directly to Main Edition, who then gave her praise and bumped it up to the next edition. > A FEW DAYS LATER < And so the article was published and the Equestria Girls were impressed with what she wrote they arranged for her to be the editor of the school paper, The Horse's Mouth, which Principal Celestia subsequently approved and so gave the paper an even better version of the Trail's article.
