Sunset Shimmer was sitting on a bench at a park, eating a PB and J sandwich. But, she had tears in her eyes, as if something is wrong with her.
“Will you be attending Rarity’s movie party?” Octavia asked as she was walking by.
“I don’t know.” Sunset replied sadly. “If that brute, Garble, is crashing that party, he’ll probably throw me out.”
“I guess there are a few who STILL think that you’re bad news.” Octavia said, feeling bad for the former bully. “Try to attend. Please.”
As Octavia leaves, Sunset still feels bad. Unless Rarity has a security guard at her house, I guess I’ll be staying home.
Just then, a slender woman with curly brown hair walks by. She has on a unique outfit comprising of a short sleeve shirt and pants that are both half red and half blue. She also has on two different boots. One is red and one is blue. She then approached the saddened girl.
“Hello, Miss Sunset Shimmer.” The woman greeted kindly. “It’s nice to meet you.”
Wiping the tears from her eyes, Sunset was shocked to see this woman. “I don’t believe it. Americana!”
“That’s me. May I sit with you?”
“Sure.”
Americana sat down with Sunset, wondering what’s wrong.
“I heard a conversation between you and Miss Octavia Melody.” Americana said. “Something about a movie party, I believe?”
“That’s right.” Sunset replied. “Many of us are going to my friend, Rarity’s house for a movie night. And, each of us dress up as movie characters.”
“That sounds like a lot of fun.” Americana then gets concerned. “So, what’s the problem?”
“There’s this brute named Garble who crashes parties I attend, then yells at me about my bad past before throwing me out. Sometimes he physically hurts me. He almost put me into the hospital one time!”
As Sunset starts to shake, Americana comforts her. “There’s no need to be that scared. You rose above the Fall Formal nightmare, and became a nicer person. Right?”
Sunset begins to calm down. “Well, yeah.”
“And now, you have many friends. Right?”
“I do. Especially my fellow Rainbooms.” Sunset said happily.
“Then, don’t let that bruiser, or your dark past, worry you. I’m sure your friends will do everything to keep you safe.”
Sunset soon feels a lot better. “Thanks, Americana. I needed that pep talk.”
“You’re welcome.” Americana replied as she hugged Sunset kindly. “Do you have Miss Rarity’s phone number? I might attend that party myself.”
“That’s a good idea.” Sunset said happily as she pulls out her phone.
Later that night, the party at Rarity’s house went on. Many of the attendees wore costumes of many different movie characters. Rarity, dressed as the Wicked Witch of the West, steps in to greet her guests. “Friends, tonight’s movie will start in ten minutes.”
Everyone is happy to hear the news, as they get ready to order food. Sunset Shimmer, dressed as cartoon villain, Dr. Facilier, grabbed some potato chips from the snack table and started munching.
“I’m glad you can make it.” Said Twilight Sparkle, dressed as Vicky Vale from ‘Batman’.
“Me too.” Sunset replied. “Thanks to Americana’s words of wisdom, I don’t have to panic anymore.”
The two friends hugged each other. In another area, Bulk Biceps, dresses as the Terminator, and Americana, dressed as The Bride from ‘Kill Bill’ stood near the front door.
“That brute, Garble, won’t get near here with us working together.” Bulk said.
“You said it.” Americana replied as she and Bulk shook hands in friendship.
