MLP: Crystal Girls

by RedPegasus

The New Girl

It is early in the morning, and the Crystal Prep begins to come alive.

Young students begin to arrive and prepare for a new school day.

One of them stands in front of the colossal school and looks at it for a moment.

Like every student, she wears the regulation uniform. Freshly polished dark shoes, dark purple socks that lightly pass her ankles. A short skirt in a violet check pattern, a dark purple vest buttoned over a light blue crystal shirt, and a bow tie adorning her neck.

The wind slightly moves her hair which makes it look like a burning flame.

The girl takes a deep breath and walks inside without looking at anyone

The first bell of the day is heard and classes begin immediately. Except for a specific room, where the teacher takes a few seconds from his class to introduce the new girl.

"Today we are joined by a new student." Announces the teacher to the class. "Please introduce yourself."

He ask politely, but seriously to the new girl.

The girl with flaming hair takes a small step forward, stands up straight, takes a breath and smiles with joy at everyone.

"Hello to everyone! My name is Sunset Shimmer. Glad to meet you all and I hope we get along well."

The answer is, null. None of the students speak, or smile, or hint at the new girl.

Sunset keeps her smile but she becomes nervous through the silence is prolonged.

The Teacher speaks without flinching from the scene. "Thank you Miss Sunset now please takes a free seat and let's starts the class."

Sunset looks at the teacher for a moment, then at her new companions, for two seconds there is no sound or movement, until finally she decides to walk between the seats to the nearest free position.

During her walk, most of the other students ignore her. A pair of eyes follows her slightly but no one gives her too much attention.

The teacher turns around and doesn't even give Sunset time to sit down before starting to teach his class.

Sunset already seated, watches as the other students focus on their things. No one bothers to look at her.

Her face reflects bewilderment but in the end, he decides to just take out her things and attend the class.

Hours pass, and during the break, the new girl walks down the hallways looking at the other students. Although none pay attention to it.

She looks around for a moment and starts to think, quickly takes out a phone that looks very modern and she smiles.

She searches around a bit and sees a group of girls, fiddling with their own phones. So she comes over and listens to them.

"What do you think?" One of the girls asks with her phone in hand. "I already have the new Pon-I my dad bought for me."

"It's cute." The second girl answers. "But it has little memory. I got this model that has more storage capacity." Explains showing his own phone.

"Yes, but it is already a super old model." The first one complains.

The third takes the floor speaking to both. "Girls, no one cares if they are new or have memory. A good phone should be useful. And my Sumsang can connect to computers using infrared laser. So I can easily download content and access the network. It is very useful."

"Pfff, if I have a computer at hand, why do I want a phone?" Question the first.

"And you can't download that many things. It's low on memory." Mention the second.

The three look at each other for a moment and seem to want to continue their apparent discussion. But Sunset is coming.

"Nice phones." The new girl casually comments. "Do you want to see mine?"

She doesn't wait for an answer but instead shows in her hand her blue edge phone.

"It is a new model. It has not yet arrived in this country." She speaks in a somewhat smug tone, showing the device. "It has high image definition and its internet connection is faster than anyone else's."

Despite her words, none of the three girls seems interested.

"Does anyone want to prove it?" Sunset asks with some confidence.

There's no answer. And after standing there for a moment, the three girls leave, leaving Sunset alone, confused.

Sunset seems frustrated, puts the phone in her pocket and continues on her way.

At lunchtime, students line up to get their rations.

Sunset enters the place and begins to observe each table carefully.

At a table she notices an indigo-haired girl wearing googles hanging from her neck. She is meeting and talking to a group of skinny guys, one of them has a football. The girl speaks with much encouragement and makes somewhat violent gestures with her arms.

At another table she sees a girl with almost silver hair, tied in a ponytail, extremely fluffy, and wearing glasses. Next to her is a group of boys and girls, all reading books.

In another, a girl with green hair, which reaches to her waist, is sitting with others, but she ignores anyone, wears headphones on her ears, and only focuses on her own food while shaking her head.

Sunset continues to scan the tables with her eyes. On a table are some entertaining subjects on their computers and cell phones. Another where a group of apparently refined girls laugh at something. A table where nobody talks, they don't even look at each other, everyone is focused on their own lunch.

After spending a few minutes scanning each table, Sunset finally decides to line up for lunch.

Among the local foods you can see hamburgers, dishes made with potatoes, various fruits and salads. Sunset takes everything except the burgers. To which she makes a gesture of very noticeable displeasure. Finally a juice pack.

With her tray served, and paid, Sunset leaves the line and takes a few more seconds to look around. She takes a deep breath, and decides to go to the table where everyone is attentive to their digital devices.

She sits in a free seat in the corner, and looks at everyone. No one looks at her except for one side or another, but no one pays more attention to her.

Sunset takes a breath again and pulls out her own phone, starts playing with it, really doing nothing, but pretending she does.

After a minute without drawing someone's attention, she decides to do it herself. She subtly leans over to the young boy next to her to view her laptop.

"Hey, nice laptop." She comments softly.

The subject says nothing, continues to do something on his computer.

Sunset waits a moment, then speaks again. "It's a next-generation neo-nova, right?"

This time, the subject lets out air through the nose, and deigns to speak. "Yes."

That is the only answer from him.

Sunset narrows her eyes a little but retakes her smile. "I also have a nova. A nova06 to be exact."

"That old model. What a horror." He responds, more attentively, but contemptuously.

"Yeah it's something old." Sunset says without bothering. "But improved. I actually put it together myself."

As she speaks, she begins to look at her nails in a presumptuous gesture.

"I put the parts together and assembled them on my own. Of course I added improvements, a better processor, and updated the software. It works just as well as a modern model."

She looks at the student with a confident smile. But he ignores her. Sunset has a tic in her eye but tries to keep smiling.

"Oh yeah! I'm very good with digital technology. I think computing is my field."

After several seconds without getting an answer, the girl's smile dies and gives way to a gesture of annoyance. Looking at everyone at the table, no one pays attention to her. She clenches her teeth and with a grunt-like sound takes her lunch and leaves the table.

"... but what a failed girl." Says the boy when she is gone.

Sunset walks and forces herself to breathe and calm her anger. Inhale deeply and exhale, and look around another table.

"Has anyone seen the new Space Wars movie?"

Sunset asks sitting at a table as she takes snacks from her lunch. "I personally am not a fan of the franchise, but I was curious and found it interesting."

Everyone at the table gives him a dismissive look. No one speaks to him, they just follow they lunch.

Sunset is frustrated.

Sunset sits for the third time, this time receiving dismissive glances from the girls present. She is silent for a moment, then clears her throat. But it is one of the girls who wins the word.

"Does it bother you? This is a private conversation."

Sunset is slightly surprised, but responds. "Seriously? Well, what are you talking about?"

All the girls look at each other, with reproachful glances towards Sunset. One of them, with long lilac hair adorned with a sun buckle, answers her.

"We evaluate artists and movie stars looking for good marriage material."

The other girls look at the lilac-haired girl with some reproach.

Sunset for its part remains lively. "Oh! I can help. I know how to rank priorities and differentiate the best option."

She smiles confidently. The girls around see her, some with annoyance.

The cafeteria door opens and Sunset comes out with a truly frustrated look.

With a loud growl that tries to choke, she throws away what is left of her lunch, tray included inside the nearby trash can.

"Ugh! Why doesn't any of this work?!"

She screams in frustration and grabs her hair.

"I spent a month studying the behavior of high schools and preparing the most general topics of interest I even saw that strange series of monster girls!"

She complains as she walks from side to side waving her arms and head.

"By this time, I should already have the respect of some students! Why is there no use ?!"

Gruntingly, she clenches her teeth, growls, and then stops completely, takes a deep breath, and raises her hands to stop.

"Calm down Sunset, calm down ... your plan didn't work out, it's a delay. You can control this place, easily. You just need another action plan."

With a hand on her chin, the girl begins to walk while thinking aloud.

"This place is not like what those series and internet blogs describe ... what makes one popular here?"

With that thought in mind, she begins to wander around the school during each break.

A group of older boys gets together and one of them talks to another.

"Hey Shining! I heard you got the highest score on the test again."

Another young man, one who has pale skin and short bluish hair, replies.

"It wasn't a big deal, the exam was simple."

Another student who is the same age as them is speaking now.

"Everything is simple for you. You always get the best grade, the teachers are always on your side and all the girls at school want to go out with you."

"Is there something this man doesn't do well?" Asks the first jokingly.

"It's not that bad. Seriously."

Shining speaks condescendingly trying to play down the issue.

"To all this, why don't you have a girlfriend?" Question the first. "You won't be weird, will you?"

"What?! No!"

"Don't be silly." The second speaks. "Shining has no girlfriend because he is booking for the dean of the school."

Shining ends up blushing upon hearing that. "Th-that's not true!"

"We go everything in the school they know it." Says the second. "You always hang out with her."

"I am the president of the student council!" Shining defends himself. "It is normal that I see her to inform her about the student's aptitudes and the maintenance tasks of the school among ... other things."

"Damn you make me so envious." Add the first one. "Better in school, better with the girls. Lend me a bit of your luck!"

The semi-discussion talk of the three continues, but Sunset, hidden behind some lockers in the corner, pays no more attention. She withdraws thoughtfully.

A very young student stops in the middle of the hall and snaps his fingers to get attention.

Sunset like others turns. And see this boy with skin and hair, as white as snow.

"Attention please." The white boy speaks. "This weekend, my father will have an exclusive party on board his big yacht!"

He announces with a rather smug voice. Several presents caught their attention.

"And he has allowed me to invite a few friends. So who is interested?"

Not a second goes by and instantly the boy is surrounded by students, smiling and flattering him, the boy just smiles pleased with the attention.

The few who seem uninterested just follow their affairs. Sunset for her part, looks thoughtful.

During school hours, Sunset looks around her, each of her classmates too focused on their own books and notebooks. The teacher on his side, dictating his class, without even bothering to check if the students are listening.

There's only one student, aside from Sunset, who doesn't pay attention. A blonde-haired girl in a ponytail, sitting a few places away from Sunset. She is chewing on something, she is soon seen inflating a bubble gum and to the east explode, it resonates slightly due to the silence of the room.

"WHO IS CHEWING GUM?!"

The man shouts in fury, more than half of the students are frightened and startled by such a scream.

The blonde in question doesn't flinch and just spits out her chewing gum. When flying, it sticks to the hair of the girl in front of her.

"Lightning Dust!" Exclaims the furious teacher.

The blonde girl moans in annoyance and stands instead crossing her arms. "now what do you want?"

"Don't pretend. I know that chewing gum came from you." The man claims.

"Yeah sure. Whenever something happens in your class it's my fault right?"

"Of course it is. You don't even pay attention and you only cause problems. You are one of the worst students who has had the misfortune to teach."

"Oh wow, how hard, now I feel bad. Bu bu..."

The girl speaks with an obvious sarcasm.

Other students give her a disapproving look, while most choose to return to books on their own.

"You will stop making fun of me when I suspend you." The teacher threatens.

"Good luck. As you can see I don't have gum in my mouth."

To demonstrate his point, Lightning opens his mouth and leaves his tongue out.

"And if you still don't believe me, I invite you to check me out."

Saying this, she stands to one side of her table, leaning slightly on it in a somewhat suggestive pose.

"Sure, if you want to look like a pervert touching a girl."

At this point, some, not many, of the other students should cover their mocking laughter.

The teacher by his side turns red with fury as he clenches his teeth. "Go back to your seat."

He says in a low voice, but threatening. Lightning obeys him but at all times shows a confident and mocking smile.

"To think I should teach slags like you. They should kick you out of this school!"

Lightning ignores him, and begins to pretend to take notes from the class. The rest of the students return to class when the teacher, still growling under his breath, picks it up.

Sunset still looks at the blonde girl, keeps thinking.

The bell of the time change is heard. The students leave the room and Sunset does the same.

When she strays far enough from others, she begins to think out loud.

"I think I'm beginning to understand. My plan was not entirely misguided. I just have to approach it differently."

Taking a notebook from her things, she begins to write.

"I need to do more research, but at the moment, I think I know where to start."

The dean of the school, Cadence, leaves her office with a couple of papers in her hand.

"Dean Cadenza!"

Sunset walks hurriedly toward the woman.

"Sunset! How about your first day?"

"Um, meh, pretty good, I guess."

"Have you made friends?"

"… not really."

Cadence seems disappointed to hear that.

"Um, Dean Cadenza. I wanted to ask you for advice."

"Sure, tell me what you need."

"Well, I have seen that the classes here are quite serious."

"I warned you when you asked me to come that Crystal has a very rigorous level."

"I know, I know. And I don't doubt I'll be able to catch up. Alone, maybe I need a little help."

"Sorry Sunset, but I can't help you with your studies. It would look bad if I gave you special treatment."

"Oh no no, she wouldn't mind with something like that. I just wanted to know, if there was any, a student she would recommend talking to. To help me in class."

Cadence is slightly surprised, then thinks about it, and then smiles. "YES!"

She responds cheerfully, surprising Sunset, and herself.

"I mean. Yes, I think I know of someone."

The woman re-enters her office and leaves the door open for the girl to enter, she does.

Cadence goes to her desk and rummages around in her personal bag, much to Sunset's surprise.

"I have the ideal girl." Cadenza says and gives Sunset a picture.

Sunset takes it, again surprised to see Cadence with a girl, like her age, with purple hair, with pink. And some big black glasses.

"She is a student of the same grade as you." Cadence begins to explain. "Her name is Twilight Sparkle, and she is extremely smart. The best in her class.”

"Um, why do you have this photo with you." Sunset asks curiously.

"Well I shouldn't say so. But honestly, I used to take care of her when I was little. She's like a little sister to me." Cadence explains smiling.

Sunset smiles upon hearing that and looking aside whispers. "Great, double prize."

"Did you say something?" Cadence asks.

"That is fabulous!" Sunset responds. "Do you think if I ask her to help me?"

"I think it is possible. I know she loves to study even though she is always alone. Surely a study partner will do her great."

Sunset just smiles, little by little, showing some malice.

The final bell of the day rings, little by little the students begin to leave the school. Some stay to meet their school clubs, or others to study on their own.

So does the young Twilight Sparkle, who is in the library reviewing books. She takes the ones that catch her eye and borrows them with her library pass.

As she leaves the place she takes a couple of steps, smiling at the books she has just pulled out. Not looking at her path, she ends up bumping into something softly, she steps back and sees one of the students. A boy with spiked blue hair, and another with red hair in the same style.

"S-Sorry! I didn't notice where I was going ..."

She says in a hurry, and shyly.

"Don't worry. It happens to all of us." Says the blue boy.

"What have you got there?" Asks the red one.

Twilight hesitates for a moment before answering. "... some books, that I take out to read at home."

The one with red hair takes one of the books, and when the girl complains, he looks at it. "What a nerd you are."

"Give it to me please." Ask for Twilight. "If is damaged the libraryit will give me a penalty."

Red narrows his gaze. "Are you implying that I am going to harm it?"

"n-no, just ..."

"hey don't scare her like that." Blue scolds his partner, but not convincingly. "Excuse my friend, will you let me see what you bring?"

Blue does not wait for an answer, and takes another one of the books, although with smoothness.

He starts looking at him. Twilight remains silent as she watches both boys.

"They are good books. Do you take them to study at home?" Blue question to the girl.

"um ... I ..."

Blue doesn't let her finish. "It turns out, we also wanted to grab some books to study at home. We need a little support in class."

"That, sounds great" Twilight speaks, apparently calmer. "Take the study seriously."

She smiles slightly, although she still feels shy.

"Well, the problem is that we don't have a library card." Coments Blue.

"Oh, that's ..."

"Yes, it's a shame. But hey! You do have a card right? Wouldn't you mind checking out some books for us?"

Twilight gets nervous again. "... t-that is... I already took out all I could for this week and-"

Red interrupts her with a certain cold tone "well then you could lend them the ones you just took out."

He tries to take the rest of the books from the girl, but she stands back and holds the books to her chest.

"No! I just ... I need these books for my research ..."

Red narrows his gaze sternly. "Hey, you should help your schoolmates."

"You can take them out again whenever you want. Nothing costs you to give us a few." COmenta Blue calm, but serious.

"... n-no, sorry ... I can't. I must be responsible for the books I check out or they will take away my permission to take them."

Red gets mad. "You're saying we're going to break them. Again."

"I-I didn't say that-"

"so what?!"

The red one takes a threatening step to her and Twilight is noted to tremble with fear.

"... I-I'm sorry, I can't. I have to go, please ..."

Twilight takes the book from the blue boy, he does not object, but looks at it seriously. When she tries to take the red boy's book, he holds it and looks at her annoyed.

"Hey, you're being, very rude."

Twilight doesn't say anything, just looks at the boy worried.

Blue now speaks to him coldly. "You can take books whenever you want. You should be a good girl and help those of us who can't."

"B-but is that ..."

Red loses patience. "Look, we'll take these books with us because we need them. If you want them, you can check them out again when we're done."

With that he tries to take the books that she has in her arms, but she holds them tightly.

"No! I can't! I need them too."

"We need them more!" Red claims.

They both look seriously at the girl, who is already very scared.

"hey!" Exclaims a voice and draws everyone's attention. "She said no. Now, leave her."

The three of them turn, and see the fire-haired girl standing to the side, with both hands on her waist, in a firm pose.

Red looks at her annoyed. "what do you want?"

Sunset looks back at him seriously. "I want you both to leave the girl. Come bother me if you both like to be intimate with women."

"This does not concern you, get out!" Red demands.

"Come and make me do it, loser!"

The red was about to go face her, but his blue partner stops him.

"Look, we have nothing against you. We just seek help to study."

"What you're looking for doesn't matter to me. Leave the girl or there will be trouble."

Red is frustrated and approaches threatening Sunset, although she does not flinch.

"Get the hell out of here before I really get mad."

Sunset doesn't answer him, stays serious for a moment, and then smiles and looks beyond the red.

"Hello Principal Cinch."

Red turns around scared, also blue and even Twilight turn, but there was nobody in the place.

Sunset gives a victorious smile and delivers a blow to Red's stomach that makes him jump and hold on to the blow area.

"owww sorry, did it hurt?" Sunset asks sarcastically and then turns around and starts running.

Red gets angry and does not hesitate to follow her, blue rejects and follows them too.

Twilight sees herself alone in the hallway. The book Red took from him is now on the floor.

She falls to her knees and loses sight of them after a while.

Sunset runs through the halls, the two boys follow her closely, a couple of students who were still walking around the place see the persecution.

The fiery hair smiles as she turns her head and sees how they both follow her angrily.

"Ha ha so easy. Losers."

She speaks to herself without being heard by others.

After a few minutes and up the stairs. Sunset stops and turns to face her pursuers. When they see her stop, they both do the same, in order to recover air. All three breathe tired from the run.

"You will only get this far" Red announces in a threatening tone.

Sunset just smiles confidently. Then, to their surprise, she grabs her shirt, and pulls it sideways, tearing it in half.

The two boys are shocked by such action, and Sunset just smirks at them, and then ...

"AAAAAHHHHHH!"

She screams loudly, her clear scream echoing in the hallway, they both freak out a bit at the surprise scream, and the way she falls to her knees and puts her hands to her face as she sobs.

Their confusion prevents them from moving, and it only takes seconds before the doors of the dean's office open and she goes out into the hallway terrified.

"What's going on?!" Cadence asks desperately.

The woman turns and sees the scene, the two boys aside, and beyond her is Sunset, on the floor, crying, her clothes torn.

"Sunset!"

The woman runs up to the girl and leans over to see her.

"Sunset! What happened to you ?!"

Sunset sobs as she speaks. "I just ... I was just looking at the school and then ... those two attacked me!"

She cries out in tears and looks with a scared face at the two who chased her.

Both boys panic at what they hear and stutter trying to speak.

Cadence looks incredulous. "But ... what are you two doing?!"

The dean recriminates angrily as she looks at them.

"we-we didn't do anything!" Blue exclaims.

"Yes! That bitch is lying!" Yell Red.

"They grabbed me and ripped my clothes...!" Sunset exclaims, still crying.

Sunset continues to sob and Cadence stands up and looks at both of them sternly.

"It's not true! She broke it herself!" Blue claims. And he soon realizes what he said. "... shit."

Cadence just frowns, and speaks in an authoritative tone. "Both of you. To my office, NOW!"

Both are surprised at the tone of voice, and although they want to defend themselves, the dean's gaze shuts them up. The two turn and walk to the office.

Cadene turns again and takes Sunset's shoulders. "Sunset, are you alright ...?"

"sniff, I think so ... but ... I was very scared ...!"

Cadence allows herself to hug the girl and caress her hair. "Sorry. I'm sorry this happened on your first day."

She pulls her away and wipes her eyes with her thumb. Then she helps her up, and fixes her school jacket so that the cut of the shirt is not noticeable.

"Sorry Sunset. Do you think you can go home?"

"Sniff ... yeah ... it's not the first time it's happened to me ... I'll be fine ..."

Cadence looks at her with regret, gives her another hug, and then separates.

"I'll have a new shirt for you tomorrow. Go home and rest, yes?"

Sunset just smiles and Cadence decides to go to her office, her gesture becomes severe at every step.

When the office door closes, Sunset gives a malicious smile and even allows herself a laugh that she tries to hide behind her hand.

"gg, easy."

She places her hands in her pocket and with a smile full of satisfaction, sets off to leave.

The next day comes. Students begin to enter school.

Sunset does the same and immediately scans the place with her eyes. Soon she hears Cadence's voice as she approaches.

"Sunset! I'm glad you came. Are you okay?"

She asks reluctantly. Sunset just smiles at her innocently.

"I'm fine, Dean Cadenza. Really, nothing happened."

"Well. That calms me down. I have your new shirt in my office, come with me."

The woman begins to walk, Sunset takes one last look around, but can't seem to find what she's looking for, so she follows the dean.

Only minutes later, Cadence is at the doors of her office, and it doesn't take long to see Sunset leave this office.

"Thanks for letting me change my clothes there."

"It's nothing Sunset. If you need anything else, just call me."

"Dean Cadenza, I thank you so much for all your help."

Cadence blushes and waves her hand as a sign of downplaying the matter.

Cadence returns to her office, all the time giving Sunset a kind and friendly smile. That Sunset responds. More when the doors close Sunset growls in frustration.

"Ugh ... Damn Cadenza, if I have to keep smiling like that with her I'm going to get sick." She takes a deep breath. "Buf! It doesn't matter anymore, what matters now is finding that Twilight Sparkle."

With that said, she walks away.

Her search continues through the hallways, and she finally smiles when she sees a purple bun between some lockers.

Twilight exchanges some books and notebooks, and then closes her locker. Sunset was behind it and it scares her.

"Bu!"

"Ah! what…?!"

"Heh heh heh sorry. Hello." Sunset greets her with a soft smile.

The girl in glasses is surprised. "you are ... yesterday's girl ..."

"Yes, that's me. But better call me Sunset, Sunset Shimmer. 'Yesterday's girl' is a lousy name."

"I-I'm sorry ...! ... I'm ... Twilight, Sparkle ..."

"Nice to meet you." She continues smiling at her.

Twilight feels uncomfortable. There is silence until Sunset decides to speak.

"Yes, anyway. I wanted to come see how you were. Are you okay? Those guys didn't do anything to you, did they?"

"They ... n-no ... but ... you ..."

"Don't worry. I'm fine. Those guys didn't even catch up with me."

Sunset laughs lightly, causing Twilight to stop looking tense. Then Sunset softens her tone a little.

"Yes ... hey, I don't want it to seem like I'm profiting, but the truth is ... I was looking for you yesterday."

"looking ... for me ...?"

"Yes, Cadenza told me that you usually stop by the library after school, so, I went to see and I saw you with those guys ... well it doesn't matter now." She explain slightly.

By mentioning the woman's name, Twilight seems to calm down a bit more, but at the same time, be intrigued.

There is a slight pause until Sunset speaks again.

"I am new. Yesterday was my first day at this school. I entered with a scholarship, Cadenza helped me too."

"She helped you? Wow." Twilight is curious. "... Cadence has always been very kind to others but ... she had never helped someone with a scholarship."

"Yes ... well ... look, the point is, to maintain the scholarship, and therefore continue studying here, I need a certain academic level."

Twilight's shyness had been put aside, now she looks intrigued and interested.

Sunset continues. "And well, I was thinking that… well Cadence told me that you're smart."

"um, I guess so hehe ..."

"So, I was hoping that we could study together."

She says this with a slightly shy smile, and Twilight is truly surprised.

"You ... want to study with me?" Twilight asks incredulously.

"Yes, of course.… Can't we?" Sunset asks somewhat disappointed.

"Oh no! It's not that. It's just that… I've never had a study partner, I…"

Sunset doesn't say anything, just looks at the girl in glasses with curiosity.

Twilight seems discouraged. "Maybe you should ask someone else ... if they see you with me, the other students will annoy you too."

Sunset raises an eyebrow. "uh ... why?"

Twilight hesitates to answer. "... since elementary school, they have always bothered me. Although I tried to defend sometimes, it only made it worse ... like yesterday ..."

As she speaks, she looks down and feels hurt.

Sunset doesn't seem to know what to answer. "Jm ..."

"... better ask someone else ... if they see you with me they will start treating you badly too ..."

"Hey. That doesn't matter." Sunset puts a hand on Twilight's shoulder and she looks at her subtly. "I've already dealt with useless exploits. And you shouldn't let them oppress you either."

"... I already told you ... if I try to defend myself I only make things worse ..."

"Come on, raise that spirit." Support Sunset. "We can help each other. I really would like to study with you."

This surprises the girl in glasses again. "R-Really… ?!"

"Sure!" Answer Sunset with a smile. "And don't worry about those abusers. I'll make sure they don't bother you ... Of course, I'll respect you if you don't want to help me..."

"No no! I want to, I mean… it's okay, for me to do it…" Twilight says shyly, but smiling sincerely.

"fantastic!"

The fiery hair allows herself to put her arm around the girl's shoulders and she smiles at him friendly, a smile that Tiwlight responds with a smaller one.

Then Sunset starts walking, taking Twilight with her. "Twilight, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."

She says kindly, and Twilight widens her smile a little. But without her noticing, Sunset puts on a rather malicious gaze...
