//------------------------------// // Skype Video Chat: Sunset Shimmer with Seth DeMeats, or is it Arnold Groß? // Story: My Summer in Peach Creek // by TwiPON3 //------------------------------// "How about I just follow you on my motorbike?" "If you want," Marie said, Double D getting in the passenger seat while Marie took the driver's and started the car. Sunset used this time to bullcrap a mount for her phone on her bike. It worked surprisingly well, so she Skyped Seth, or so she hoped to Celestia. When the call went through, she started her motorbike and followed Marie and Edd. "Hallo?" "Se- Arnold?" The signal was shotty, to say the least. "Ja?" "Where are you?" "Coming out of the Berlin International Airport in East Germany." "I thought you said that you guys were leaving your past lives behind and that you didn't want to be reminded of them." "When you left, we decided, after that night, ja? After that night, we needed to come to closure on our previous lives." "You lied to me?" "Nein! Nein es ist nicht so!" Arnold replied, realizing the close call he had just made. [No! No, it's not like that!] "English?" "It's not, not like that, no." "Then how." "Seeing you sad like that, that had made us wunder if we go back to our, our last moments, ja? If it would help us with the same problem you had, no?" "Problem?" "You went back to the school after the Autumn Formal and sang your song My Past is not Today. After, you said that you felt better." "Oh." "We, we didn't want to leave you alone, so that is why we're... in... just... Germany?" "Are you okay?" "What happened? This parking lot used to be for Škodas, Trabants, and Maluchs." "Okay, I'm lost," Sunset said. THAT could be the understatement of the century because Seth Arnold mumbled something rather quietly. "Ostdeutschland?" [East Germany?] "What?" Arnold (and Mitzi, offcamera) were both crying, "Is something wrong?" "Auf Wiedersehen." [Goodbye.] Arnold ended the call, making Sunset wonder if the others were truly any better off. Subconsciously, she had made it to a junkyard. Specifically a large van. "Sunset?" Double D said, snapping her out of her trance. "Yes?" Sunset looked around and noticed Marie prying the doors open to a van. "Are you okay?" "I'm fine," she replied, producing two suspicious, 3.5-inch beige pieces of plastic, both with an aluminum piece at the top, "Do you have a computer that reads these?"
