Sunset Shimmer is writing in her journal that is the only communication with the pony princess that has saved her. She looks at her friends who were taking a picture with the sunset behind them. She smiled and continues to write in her book. The mane 7 really came so far. They were the heroes of Canterlot High. They went from ordinary school girls from becoming magical heroes in the city.
Dear Princess Twilight.
I'm sorry for not writing for a while. Life here in the human world is really crazy. I have a one heck of a ride here. I started off being the baddest girl in CHS to be a friend to everyone. If it weren't for you, I would still be ruling CHS and I wouldn't meet such wonderful people. Me and the girls are on the beach right now. It's a little sad that you aren't coming with us. Well I understand, you're a princess after all. I'll write to you soon and I hope you have fun ruling Equestria.
Your friend
- Sunset Shimmer.
"Smile for the camera, girls!"
"Why is this picture taking so long?!"
"Rainbow Dash! Ah knew you would put it on video!"
"No I didn't!!.... Okay I did".
"You sure don't want to be in the picture, Sunset? There's room for one more!"
"I'm okay! Besides, there's already a sunset behind you". Sunset replied with a small smile on her face. She could hear footsteps coming towards her direction so she looks up to see Twilight. Her best friend grabs her journal and Sunset didn't even protest.
"Please, Sunset. Just one photo?" Sunset's eyes winded when Twilight had used her secret weapon... the puppy face eyes.
"No! I will not give in to that cuteness of yours, Twilight!" This only made Twilight kneel down and stare at Sunset with the puppy face eyes.
"Sparkle, I'm warning you!!" Sunset Shimmer was ready to explode from the moment when Twilight was getting close to her face.
"Don't you dare!!" Sunset growled for a moment before crossing her arms and looking away.
"Just one photo and that's it, okay?"
"YAY!" Twilight grabs Sunset's hand and starts dragging her to the shore so that they could have a group photo. Sunset Shimmer was put in the middle and all of them posed for the camera.
Sunset Shimmer sighed and wraps her arm around Twilight as she poses for the camera. Twilight Sparkle blushed and the camera had taken the picture. Pinkie Pie clicks the picture that they had taken and laughs really cute when she saw Twilight's blushing face when Sunset had her arm around the nerd.
Sunset Shimmer looks at her side to admire the view of the beach. Then, she saw a hint of blue from afar and she looked at her friends one more time before walking to the direction of the color that she had seen.
"Hey, Sunset! Let's take a photo of you and Twilight!" Pinkie shouted.
"Pinkie! Sunset might not like that!"
"Don't be ridiculous, Twilight. Sunset Shimmer will totally be okay with it, right Sunny?"
There was no response. The girls turned around to see Sunset was four feet away from them. She had run off and the others didn't even hear her footsteps due from the sand.
"I guess she decided to have some time alone with herself". Fluttershy said as she goes to her spot.
"She did say only one photo, darling". Rarity said while she sits beside Applejack.
"You really need to make a move, Twilight". Twilight blushes at Rainbow's comment and looks away.
"I-I'm not sure if she's even straight! I don't think she said anything about that topic". Twilight said.
"Trust me, Twilight when ah say that Sunset is bi". Applejack responded. Twilight Sparkle sighed and looks at the direction where Sunset had taken her alone time walk. She sighs and decides to follow her best friend.
"Um, Twilight? Are you following Sunset?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Twilight, you can't do that! Sunset needs some alone time!" Fluttershy got up and started running towards Twilight to stop her, the girls followed her as well, hoping that they could stop their friend. Fluttershy grabbed Twilight's arm and her friend faced her.
"I just want to see if Sunset is safe". Twilight said.
"She's a tough girl, Twilight. She just needed some time alone". Applejack said and Twilight sighed before going back to her spot.
"Alright then. It's strange that she just ran off without telling us". Twilight said.
"Maybe it was something important?" Rarity said with an unsure tone in her voice.
"Well... if you say so..."
Sunset Shimmer was halfway to her destination. She can see the blue that was shining on her eyes, she starts to run so that she could pick it up. She stopped and saw the shining blue color was covered with sand a little. She wipes it off and lifts it up to see it was cracked. Sunset inspects it and saw that it looked like an ancient mirror. She took a good look at the gem and it really looks familiar to her.
"It's a Lapis Lazuli gem! I've seen this in my science book but looking at it in person, it really looks beautiful and precious! Who would throw such a beautiful gem like you? I better keep you safe before anyone breaks you". Sunset said as she walks back to her friends. She grips the mirror a little tight so it wouldn't slip away.
Sunset Shimmer had arrived where the girls were and saw that they started to pack their things. She walks over to her bag and puts her journal inside.
"Whatcha got there, Sunset?" Pinkie asked as she pointed at the mirror.
"Well it looks like an ancient mirror with a crack Lapis Lazuli gem on the back. I want to examine it to see if it still can be fixed by a professional". Sunset said as she showed the girls the mirror she had picked up on the shore. Twilight suspiciously looks at the mirror and has this bad feeling that something.
"Is there something wrong, Twi?" Sunset asked as she starts walking with the others.
"I-It's nothing, Sunset. Don't worry". Twilight gave Sunset a small smile which made Sunset smile back.
"I just hope that the gem is still fixable. This is one of the rare gems in the whole world. Well, to my perspective". Sunset said. She gets in her bike and starts the engine after putting the mirror in her bag.
"You want to ride home with me?"
"It's okay. I told Shining that he could pick me up". Twilight said. She watched her crush take off.
Why do I have a bad feeling about this mirror? Maybe we can examine it on our study date! Wait, date? Well, Sunset did say that she wanted to have a study date with me... does that count as a first date? AAAAAHHH!!!
Sunset opened her apartment door and locked it when she entered inside. She immediately lays down on her bed and takes the mirror inside the bag to examine it. She takes a good look at the reflection of the mirror and smiles at it.
"I just hope you can still be fixed. I'll take care of you, I promise". Her eyes winded when the mirror reflection started to move.
Then, the mirror showed Sunset smiling and had repeated what she just said to the mirror. She sat up in awe while looking at the mirror in shock. She looks the gem to check if it's fixed by its own, but it was still cracked. She looks at the reflection again.
"Y-Y-You can do magic?" The mirror moved again and shows the expression Sunset did a second ago. This amazes the former student of Princess Celestia.
Sunset Shimmer beamed in happiness and curiosity that the ancient mirror can do magic. She goes to her study table and stares at the mirror for a while.
"I didn't know a gem like you can do this. I don't think you have magic though, I don't feel Equestrian magic coming from you. Maybe you're an ancient artifact that is misplaced? I need to go to the Canterlot Library tomorrow... Yeah! I just have to cancel my study date with Twilight. i just hope she understands." Sunset laughed and the mirror copied her expression.
"You're really cool, mirror. I promise that I will find a way to fix you". Sunset said as she lays down in bed with the mirror beside her.
"Goodnight!" Sunset soon started to sleep with the same clothes she had worn in the beach but she was really tired and lazy to change right now.
