She was there alone at the time since they were planning to meet up after school for a rehearsal. Even after the Battle Of The Bands and the Friendship Games were over. Sunset and the girls still say that they really do enjoy playing together since together they can accomplish everything. But there was still a feeling that Sunset was still having ever since she met the human world Twilight. She hasn't message Sunset or even called her for anything that made Sunset worried a bit. She thought that she must have failed on the Friendship Lessons she was having ever since the princess gave her a second chance to do things right. Her train of thought was stopped by the music room door opening. While the humane 5 enter the room, they all noticed Sunsets face was with worried. Once they placed they instruments and bags on the floor they walked up to Sunset trying to wonder what's wrong with her. "Emmm.. is everything alright Sugar Cube, because you aren't looking like yourself right now. Is everything okay". Applejack said with a worried tone. "Yeah everything is fine AJ I'm just worried". "Worried about what exactly....". "About.......her". Sunset said with a worried tone in her voice. Everyone just starred at each other until one of them decided to speak first. "Is it about Twilight... well this world world twilight to be exact." FlutterShy said with a low tone in her voice. Sunset look up at all of them with a face of worried. Until she breath in and out, once she was better she explained. "Yeah I'm worried about her, its already been a week since the Friendship Games ended and I haven't recieve a text or a phone call from her. Ever after we were totally fine with each other. I feel like I failed Friendship once again". Sunset said with a sad tone in her voice. Once everyone got the message they all gathered around Sunset for a nice big hug. Sunset felt relief that at least her best friends cared about her now since throughout her journey she really wanted to change. "Don't worry darling its nothing to be worried about. She just needs to get adjusted to have friends, because remember she was always alone throughout Crystal Prep so everything must be new to her". Rarity said in a soft tone. "Yeah she's right you can't push her to fast to do something that she is not ready for yet. Take yourself as an example you spend over 2 months to prove to everyone that your not a bully no more and look at you now Sunset everyone in this school and your past are forgiving you as we speak. Its good progress once you think about it". Rainbow said with words of courage. That actually lifted Sunset Spirit up a bit. She's right she just has to give Twilight some time to adjust to the situation that she's in. "Your right girls. Thanks for helping me feel a bit better, your all the best". While smiling brightly. "Your Welcome". Everyone says with a big thumbs up. "Now Lets Get Ready To Rock!!!". Rainbow said with pumps on energy inside her. While everyone got there instrument and got ready in there positions. Sunset still has her mind in making sure that Twilight is okay, so after practice she going to go do some research on where is Crystal Prep at to check on her friend. It was 8:40pm in the night and Sunset was just finishing up with her dinner. She cleaned her plate, her living room and her kitchen table all before she went upstairs to her bedroom while taking her laptop up with her. Since tomorrow is Saturday, Sunset will have all night to do her research of where is Crystal prep located. "Alrighty then I got my laptop here, some notes and a pencil sharpen and ready for writing. My mug of coffee is on the nightstand and no one is here to interrupt me." Sunset said with a courage face expression. "Lets Do This!!!". A few minutes has been passed Sunset did her best to find the address of the school she was searching for which is Crystal Prep. After she got the address written and was happy about it. Sunset was about to call it a night, to her surprise that it only lasted a few minutes, soon she starring at the tab when she came across a link titled. Breaking News Crystal Prep Ranked Lower. To Sunset it wasn't that big of a surprise since Principal Cinch forced her students to win and slowly but hardly forced Twilight to win the game for them. To Sunset suspicious she decided to click on the link to just rub it in to those Crystal Preppers for them to force Twilight to Unleash the Magic, even if there reputation was at stake. What Sunset wasn't expecting was a news article right under the picture of Crystal Prep that stated. "Crystal Prep has been permeantly close down due to the fact Principal Cinch Force all her students to compete for the sake of the school!!!. Even if it meant destroying or even injuring them throughout the process". Sunset was shocked to see everything that the news article was saying she wasn't expecting it to go down like this. She thought that after the Friendship Games everything will be better for Twilight even after she feels that everyone was reformed for a good purpose. When Sunset continue to read she was shocked when she got to the part of the article that talked about a accident that occurred on that day. "Student from Crystal Prep was found in the corner of the principal office on the floor. With no feel in the pulse and was immediately took to the Canterlot Hospital. While Principal Cinch was taken by force by security to Canterlot prison for the safety of the student. From this point on Crystal Prep will be closed Forever sorry for all the students who attended this school. We hope for all students to be safe and sound". By the end of that dialogue Sunset was in panic she never wanted this to happen. She kept on scrolling down until she saw the section of who was the student that was taken to the hospital to her surprise. They gave a brief description of the student. Glasses, Purple Skin, Dark Blue, Pink and Purple Line Hair and her hair is tied to as a bun. Sunset instantly notice of who those description was referring to. She instantly grabbed her phone and hit call on Twilights Number. But no answer came how ever just a voicemail. "You Have reach Twilight Sparkle I'll return your call as soon as possible basically since only family calls hehehe..." Beep. Sunset started to worry even more. It wasn't until a few seconds later that she receive a phone call. "Hello!!!" Sunset says with a high tone. "Hello this is Twilights Father who is this. Is this one of those Crystal Prep Student that accused my daughter. If you are THEN GET LOST !!!". Sunset took a deep breath in and let it all out, by the anger voice on the other side of the phone. "No sure this is Sunset Shimmer a very close friend of your daughter Twilight Sparkle. We met during the Friendship Games since I am a student from Canterlot High". Sunset said with a deep courage voice. It was a few seconds before the person on the other side of the phone decided to speak. "Oh my apologies miss. I'm just looking out for my daughter, from those students from Crystal Prep students they accuse my daughter for everything that happen to the school. and that's why I want to protect her from now on". "Don't worry sir I'm no Crystal Prep student". "Good and what would be the reason for this unexpected call at 9:40 in the night". "Well sir I was calling for to wonder how Twilight was doing I just finished reading the article. Of what happen to her old school, and was worried as well since I haven't gotten a called from her ever since the Friendship Games". With a calm and desperate voice. "Is she okay". Yeah she okay she's just been in a comma for only 5 hours to our surprise. But ever since that recovery she hasn't been out of the house ever since then". "oh". Sunset said with a calm worried tone in her voice. Until she got got the courage to say. "Is there by any chance for me to come over for a visit to see how she's doing". Sunset said with a worry, lower tone in her voice. It wasn't until the voice on the side came back into the speaker. "I'll see about that give me a few minutes, I'll go see if my daughter would like that". The voice on the other side voice got lowered when he walked away from the phone. To Sunset suspense she hopes that Twilight would accept her for a visit. Its been like 3 minutes until the voice from the other side came into tone. "She would gladly, accept you for a visit Sunset but are you sure your not a Crystal Prep student". "I swear to my word that I'm a Canterlot High Student". Sunset said with a straight tone in her voice. "Good to know Sunset I'll see you tomorrow in the afternoon. I'll send you the address later tonight". By that moment Sunset was glad to have an address of where to find Twilight. "I hope this all goes well tomorrow".
