Sunset sighed as she sent her fist into the pillow again as she tried to figure out how she was going to handle this whole mess. She knew that she wouldn’t be forced to speak to Luna if she didn’t want to but she also knew that would just make living with Celestia even more awkward than it already was.
Why is it that I feel like I should forgive her when I am still so friggin’ angry! She wondered bitterly as she slumped down onto the bed, closing her eyes while trying to hold in the emotions that she had building up inside her. What the hell should I do? I mean she had to know about Discord's plain right?
Sighing she buried her face into her hands, wishing that everything was as simple as it had been when she kept everyone at arm’s length. But was simplicity worth the loneliness? She couldn’t help but wonder as she fell back against the mattress with a groan.
Sighing she debated her options. She only had two choices: Go downstairs and Talk to Celestia which would run a risk of her coming face to face with Luna or stay in her room and possibly breaking something.
Either way is more trouble than it is worth but I can’t bother the girls with something as stupid as this! I mean they will probably just see it as a sign that I’m not serious about changing and then I would be stuck being alone yet again and I don’t think I could take that.
Sighing she mulled it over for a few minutes before getting to her feet and heading downstairs, pausing when she heard a strange male voice coming from inside the room. I certainly don’t want to meet anyone else’s friends today. Sunset thought as she tried to make herself unnoticeable in the shadows.
The boy who stood inside Celestia’s living room had green skin and orange hair which made Sunset wonder just what bad luck he had that his skin and hair clashed painfully. If everyone has a copy of themselves in my world I wonder who or rather what he is. She couldn’t help but wonder as she found herself staring into his violet eyes.
“Hello. Sorry I didn’t see you there. You must be the girl that Celestia adopted. I’m Thorax.”
He said, taking a step toward Sunset, who couldn’t help but stiffen at the sudden introduction.
“I’m Sunset Shimmer. What exactly are you doing here?”
She wanted to wince at the tone of her own voice though she wouldn’t let her guard down this time. Crossing her arms over her chest she tried to look intimidating, however, she didn’t notice Celestia coming down the hall behind her until she felt something hit her in back of the head.
“Stop interrogating him. He only came by because I agreed to let his older brother have some college textbooks that I didn’t need anymore.” Celestia chided, causing the redhead to blush.
Thorax only chuckled at the pair before saying “Hey, Pharynx is worse than she is on an normal day. I'm used to it.”
“That I believe…remember I used to babysit you two when you were small.” Celestia chuckled before nudging the still embarrassed teenager before adding “why don’t you have Thorax show you some of the places he and his friends hang out at? I doubt you want to see Luna right now.”
Sunset was almost taken aback by the suggestion, which surprised her since she remembered all too well how many times that the Princess had forced her into situations that had made her both nervous and uncomfortable.
“Um…are you sure?” Sunset questioned, turning toward the aurora-haired woman who just sent her a look that the teen could have sworn that concealed a hint of a smirk.
“Sunset, trust me. If I wasn’t sure I wouldn’t have suggested it.” The principal answered before adding in a teasing whisper “at least he’s your age.”
Sunset sighed as she followed Thorax out of the house, not exactly sure what to say.
“Sorry I was such a bitch back there. You would not believe the day that I have been having.” She said, earning a shrug.
“Don’t worry about it. Try living with two brothers and dealing with Tempest Shadow and her band of bat-brains.”
