I Miss You...

Chapter 1: The Journey Begins

Sunset Shimmer was already at the train station, she had already finished eating the pancake. Sunset was sitting on the train seat. Ray was by her side. She looked at Ray, “Ray, what do I do? Celestia and Luna retired and I didn’t even have time to talk to them. I mean, except when my friends lost their memory and I had to go back to Equestria to ask for Celestia’s help”

 Suddenly she saw a brown-haired unicorn holding a newspaper with its magic. The stallion sat next to Sunset Shimmer. Sunset picked up her gecko with her magic so he wouldn’t step on her gecko. When the unicorn sat down he began reading the newspaper he brought. Sunset Shimmer breathed a sigh of relief.

 That was close.

 Sunset Shimmer took the map from her backpack and looked at the places that she could visit to see if she found Celestia.

 I think I’ll go first to Manehattan. To spend a few days there and try to see if Celestia is there.

 Sunset Shimmer put the map in her bag before looking out the window. The train hasn’t yet arrived in Manehattan. Sunset Shimmer knew this would take too long. Sunset wished That she had brought something to read. But she didn’t even bring it. What could she do? It seems the only thing she could do was watch the landscape.

 I think when I get to Manehattan, I go to the book store to buy some books. So when I go to the train, I can read something.

 


 After hours on the train, the train finally arrived in Manehattan, Sunset Shimmer paid with Bits and got off the train. She was surprised that Manehattan was a big city. Manehattan was much bigger than Ponyville and Canterlot. Before she explored and tried to search for Celestia, she needed to find a hotel for her to sleep. And that was what she was going to do. She started walking in Manehattan looking for a hotel to stay. But she hardly knew what the streets of Manehattan were like. Her chance of getting lost was very high. But she was so distracted looking at the buildings that she didn’t see a fur-colored mare with baby blue mane. Her Cutie Mark was a hat, “Sorry. I didn’t see you”

 The mare stood up, “it’s all right”

 “My name is Sunset Shimmer and yours?”

 “Coco Pommel”

 “Do you live here?” asked Sunset Shimmer.

 “Yes”, said Coco Pommel.

 “Do you know any hotels that have here?” asked Sunset Shimmer.

 “Yes, Sunset. Would you like me to show you where it is?” said Coco Pommel.

 “Sure. Lead the way”, Sunset Shimmer replied, smiling.

 “Ok.me follow”, said Coco Pommel, before leading the way. Sunset Shimmer followed her.

 “Where were you born, Sunset?” asked Coco Pommel.

 “In Canterlot”, Sunset Shimmer replied.

 Coco Pommel smiled, “I never visited Canterlot. Is there a good place to live?”

 “Yes, Coco”, Sunset Shimmer replied.

 “I plan to visit Canterlot. I’m going to Canterlot’s Rarity Boutique to see which dresses have can inspire me to create my new dresses”, said Coco Pommel.

 “Does Rarity have a boutique in Canterlot?” asked Sunset Shimmer, surprised.

 “Yes, Sunset”, replied Coco Pommel.

 “I didn’t know,” said Sunset Shimmer. “Thanks for letting me know”

 Coco Pommel smiled, “You’re welcome, Sunset”

Coco Pommel stopped walking. Sunset Shimmer was confused, “Why did you stop?”

 Coco Pommel looked at Sunset Shimmer, “Because we have arrived at the hotel”

 Sunset Shimmer was surprised, “but already?”

 Coco Pommel nodded, “Yes. It is very close”

 Sunset Shimmer smiled, “good”

 Coco Pommel walked back, “well, I’m going”

 “Coco, wait!”

 Coco Pommel looked at Sunset Shimmer, “The train station is over there”, said Sunset Shimmer as she pointed back.

 “I know, Sunset. But I will have dinner in a restaurant before going to Canterlot”, said Coco Pommel.

 Sunset Shimmer was surprised, “Wait, is it dark?”

 “Yes. Look at the sky”, said Coco Pommel.

 Sunset Shimmer looked up at the sky and saw the moon and stars, “wow. The trip to Manehattan must have taken a long time”

 “Yes. Manehattan is a long way from Canterlot”, agreed Coco Pommel.

 Sunset Shimmer just nodded.

 “Well, I’m going”, said Coco Pommel.

 Sunset Shimmer looked at the hotel. But she began to think. Maybe she should have dinner out, along with Coco Pommel. After all, Coco would have to eat too.

 


 Coco Pommel arrived at the restaurant, sat down in a chair and with her magic, took the menu to choose what to eat. Suddenly she heard the sound of the door opening. She looked back and saw Sunset Shimmer. She found it strange. Why did Sunset Shimmer follow her? Sunset Shimmer sat at the table she Coco Pommel was at. Sunset Shimmer smiled as she saw Coco Pommel, “Hi again, Coco”

 Coco Pommel raised an eyebrow, “Why did you follow me?”

 “Because how are you going to have dinner at a Manehattan restaurant, I thought I should have dinner with you. So I can know more about the food that have here”, Sunset Shimmer replied.

 Coco Pommel was surprised, but then smiled, “ok. Sit down and choose something to eat”, Coco Pommel took another menu and gave it to Sunset Shimmer. Sunset Shimmer took the menu with her magic and sat next to Coco Pommel.

 Sunset Shimmer opened the menu and marveled at the images of food that had. The foods were more fancy, and look, they weren’t even in Canterlot. Because in Canterlot, the foods were fancy. Suddenly a brown-skinned, unicorn mare with a pack and a feather went to where Sunset and Coco were, “have you two chosen what you are going to eat?”

 Coco Pommel stopped looking at the menu, “I’ve already chosen. I’d like to have a tomato sauce pasta, please”

 The mare took the order in her notebook, “ok. And you?” she looked now at Sunset Shimmer.

 Sunset Shimmer looked at the menu. What should she choose? She realized that she had palm heart Stroganoff. She decided to pick this one, “Palm Stroganoff, please”

 The unicorn mare took the order before heading toward the place where food was make. Coco Pommel looked at Sunset Shimmer, “So, Sunset”

 Sunset Shimmer looked at Coco Pommel, “Do you plan on living here?” asked Coco Pommel.

 “No, Coco Pommel”, Sunset Shimmer replied.

 Coco Pommel was surprised, “So why did you come here?”

 Sunset Shimmer knew it would be hard to talk but she knew she should, “is that Celestia and Luna have retired and I want to find them”

 Coco Pommel was surprised, “Do you think you can find them?”

 “Yes, I’m sure. With determination, I will go far”, Sunset Shimmer said confidently.

 The same mare that attended Sunset and Coco Pommel brought both foods, “here is your order”, the mare handed the noodles to Coco.

 “Thank you”, said Coco Pommel.

 The mare looked at Sunset Shimmer before handing the stroganoff to Sunset, “and here is your order”

 “Thank you”, said Sunset Shimmer.

 The mare has left. Coco and Sunset began to eat.

 


 By the time they were done eating, it was dawn. Sunset and Coco left the restaurant.

 “So, are you going to Canterlot now?” asked Sunset Shimmer.

 “No. It’s already night. I’m going to my house to go to sleep. When the day comes, I’ll have breakfast before taking the train to Canterlot”, said Coco Pommel.

 “And I’m going to sleep at the hotel. When the day comes, I’ll have breakfast and then explore Manehattan,” said Sunset Shimmer. “Well, goodbye”

 “Goodbye”, said Coco Pommel.

 Each went in a different direction. Sunset Shimmer went left and Coco Pommel went right. To Sunset Shimmer’s surprise, it didn’t take long for her to arrive at the hotel. She opened the hotel door with a hoof and saw a mare with glasses. She approached, “excuse me”

 The mare looked at Sunset Shimmer, “who are you?”

 “Sunset Shimmer. I’ll stay here a few nights”, said Sunset Shimmer.

 “It will be 15 bits”, said the mare.

 Sunset Shimmer took out of her backpack 15 bits, “here it is”

 The mare took the 15 bits with a hoof, “very well. Follow me and I’ll show you to your room”, The mare walked toward the elevator and pushed the button. The elevator began to descend.

 What Sunset Shimmer was going to ask seemed obvious, but she wanted to know, “Will my bedroom door have a number?”

 The mare looked at Sunset Shimmer, “yes. Why?”

 “Because I’m afraid I might forget. Could you write down my room number, please?” Sunset Shimmer replied.

 The mare smiled, “Of course, Sunset Shimmer”

 Sunset Shimmer smiled back. Suddenly they heard the sound of the elevator door, they entered the elevator. Sunset watched the mare clicking the number two button.

 So my room is on the second floor. It’s good that I remember that.

 Sunset Shimmer watched the elevator style. She couldn’t deny that the elevator was very pretty. Suddenly, the elevator door opened, revealing a red hallway. Sunset Shimmer couldn’t deny that she loved the color of the corridor, “follow me, Sunset Shimmer”

 Sunset Shimmer noticed that the mare has already left the elevator. Sunset Shimmer followed her, “come on. I’ll show you where your room is”, said the mare.

 Sunset Shimmer exited the elevator. She was surprised that the elevator didn’t close while she got out of it. When the mare saw Sunset Shimmer outside the elevator, she nodded before starting to walk. As they walked down the hall, Sunset Shimmer kept looking and admiring down the hall. She really loved that the hallway was red. Well, she couldn’t blame herself, because red was her favorite color.

 “This is your room, Sunset”, said the mare, now standing at a door with number ten.

 Sunset Shimmer feared that the mare might forget, “Can you write it down for me?”

 The mare smiled, “Of course, Sunset”, she brought out a piece of paper and a quill. She started to writing when she finished writing, the mare handed it to Sunset Shimmer.

 Sunset Shimmer read what the mare wrote, “second floor. Room number ten”, she smiled at the mare.

 “Thank you”, Sunset Shimmer said with a smile.

 The mare smiled back, “You’re welcome”, that said, she handed the key to Sunset Shimmer.

 “That’s the key to your room”, said the mare.

 Sunset Shimmer took the key with her magic, “thank you”, she turned her back and opened the door. When she saw how her room she let out a sigh of surprise. Your room was simply beautiful. Her bed had a sun-patterned blanket, similar to Princess Celestia’s Cutie Mark, and the color of the blanket was red. In the bedroom there was a window with red curtains and the pillow was white. Sunset Shimmer looked back at the mare, “thank you, miss”

 The mare smiled, “You’re welcome, Sunset. Well, I’m going. Bye”

 “Bye. See you in the morning”, said Sunset Shimmer. When the mare left, Sunset Shimmer locked the door. She left the key in the lock and went to sleep.
