Hidden Love Through The Dusk

by Joshua the Dragonslayer


2. Sunset's Birthday

It had been a few weeks since Adagio, Aria, and Sonata had joined your class. The end of the year was coming to an end and you were honestly looking forward to middle school. It was a Friday and you were waiting for the bell to ring to go to lunch. After a few minutes, the bell rang indicating it was time for lunch, as you headed out to lunch with Flash, Sunset came up to you guys.

"Hey guys, what's up?" asked Sunset as she walked up to you and Flash.

Flash looked over at Sunset. "Nothing, me and Anon are headed to get lunch."

Sunset nodded her head. "Well, I just wanted to let you know that it's my birthday tomorrow and I was wondering if you guys wanted to come over and have a sleepover?"

You nodded your head and smiled. "Sure, I'll definitely be coming to your birthday."

Flash nodded his head as well. "Yeah, I don't get anything else to do."

You then looked over at Sunset, you wanted to know who was invited to her birthday. "Who's all coming to the party?"

Sunset then started to think about it. "Twilight, Adagio, Aria, and Sonata."

"Oh boy." Flash then turned to you. "Looks like it's just you and me, Anon."

You rolled your eyes. "I'm sure it'll be better than it sounds."

Sunset smiled. "Well, I'll see you guys later I have to ask the others if they can come over, see you tomorrow." Sunset then turned around to find the others as she waved goodbye to you and Flash.

"See you tomorrow Sunset." You and Flash both say as you both wave goodbye to Sunset.

"Well, Anon you excited about Sunset's birthday tomorrow?" Flash asked as he looked over at you.

You nodded and smiled. "You bet, this is going to be awesome!"

After lunch, you and Flash headed back into class. You really didn't pay attention for the rest of the day, you just were waiting for the day to end so you could escape from school for the weekend. For the next hour and a half, you zoned out not paying attention to what your teacher was saying.

The moment every kid wants to hear on a Friday is the bell. As the bell rang everyone headed their way back home. As you were walking home with Flash you were starting to think about Sunset's birthday, this was going to be your first sleepover at another person's house other than Flash's. You also would have to tell your parents about the party. Once you got to your house, you and Flash went your separate ways. As you unlocked the door you saw your mom in the kitchen making dinner and your father wasn't on the couch watching TV so you guessed he was still at work.

"Hi, mom." You said as you entered the house closing the door behind you.

"Hello Anon, how was your day?" Your mom asked as she went over to you.

You smiled. "It was good, Sunset gave me an invitation to her party tomorrow and I was wondering if I could go."

Your mom smiled at you. "Of course, you can go over, what time do you need to be there?"

"Noon, but it's a sleepover." You were hoping your mom would let you.

Your mom nodded her head. "Ok, I'll tell your dad about you going to Sunset's but as for you, you have to get your stuff ready for tomorrow."

"Thanks, mom, I will." You said as you made your way to your room.

When you got into your room you started to talk out some clothes for tomorrow, your pj's, pillow, blanket, etc. You decided to take a shower before dinner, as you got into the bathroom you heard the garage door open so you guessed your dad got home late.

After a fifteen-minute bath, you got dressed you came downstairs for dinner. You saw your dad sitting down at the table eating his dinner while your mom was making your and her meals. She was making her chicken that you liked. You took a seat on one of the chairs, and as you did your dad noticed you.

Your dad looked up at you with a smile. "Hello son, I heard that you're going to have a sleepover at Sunset's for her birthday."

You nodded your head. "Yeah, you ok with that?"

Your dad nodded his head. "Of course I am, but you better get an early night, tonight."

You nodded your head to your dad. "Ok dad, I'll go to bed after dinner."

As you ate your dinner, you wondered what her birthday would be like with the Dazzlings sisters. It had always been you, Flash, and Twilight. As you headed to your bed for the night you wondered what Sunset's birthday would be like.

As you got up you checked your clock. It was 10:07, you still had time before Sunset's party. You did your morning actives eat breakfast, got dressed, and brushed your teeth. Your mom is always up before you and your dad normally wake up at 11ish. Your mom was getting ready to take you to Sunset's while you got your backpack. As you and your mom got in the car and headed to Sunset's you made sure you had everything with you.

After a few minute-long ride you arrived at Sunset's house. You waved your mom goodbye and knocked on the door. After a while you heard the door open, it was Sunset's mom.

"Hello, Anon how are you?" asked Mrs. Shimmer as she looked down at you.

You smiled as you looked up at Sunset's mom. "I'm good, I hope I didn't keep everyone waiting."

Mrs. Shimmer shook her head. "Oh no, Flash just arrived a little bit before, so they haven't had to wait long."

You nodded your head as you then tried to look inside the house. "Oh ok, so where are they?"

Sunset's mom then pointed to the backyard. "They're outside in the tree house where you guys will sleep tonight."

"Ok thank you." You said as you then walked into the house and made your way into the backyard.

"Have fun, I'll call you when dinner is ready." Mrs. Shimmer said as she waved goodbye to you.

As you headed outside you saw the tree house, this was your first time actually seeing the tree house and you had to say it was awesome. You heard the rest of your friends laughing, as you climbed up the tree house, as you opened the door to the tree house you saw all your friends laughing and having fun.

"You guys look like your having fun without me I see." You said as you entered the tree house.

Sunset then turned to you and smiled. "Oh hi Anon, come on we were just playing truth or dare, but we each have two lives, we just started so you didn't miss anything."

"Sure, whose turn is it?" You asked as you took your seat next to Flash.

"Well it was going to be Flash's turn but you can go before him, that is if he's ok with that." Sunset said as she looked over at Flash.

Flash smiled and nodded. "Yeah I'm fine with that, Anon you can go ahead."

"Thanks, Flash." You said as you looked at him. You then turned your attention to the group, you looked around for a bit until you found your prey. You smiled as you looked at them. "Ok, Twilight truth or dare?"

"Truth." Twilight said as she raised her glasses.

You smirked. "Is it true that you got a crush on someone in our class?"

Twilight shook her head. "Nope."

"Yes she does, she likes homework." Flash said as the rest of the group besides Twilight laughed.

"Wow Flash, I got to give you a high-five for that one." said Aria as she went over and high-fived Flash.

Twilight rolled her eyes with a small blush. "Whatever, Flash truth or dare?"

"Dare." said Flash as he crossed his arms.

It was then Twilight's turn to smirk. "I dare you to eat some dirt."

You look over at Flash's face, and he was in shock. He kinda deserved it for what he said to Twilight and that was Twilight's way of revenge. "Man this is so not fair, I ain't going to eat some dirt."

Sunset laughed. "Ok so everyone but Flash has two lives left."

Everyone nodded as Aria then made her move. "My turn, Adagio truth or dare?"

Adagio flipped her hair with a smirk. "Dare."

Aria smirked. "I dare you to change your hairstyle for a week."

Looking at her sister in surprise Adagio held her hair in fear. "No way, my hair is staying how it is."

"Aww, that would have been funny." Sonata frowned.

Sunset smiled as she rolled her eyes. "Well, that's a life for Adagio out."

Adagio rolled her eyes. "Guess it's my turn Sunset truth or dare?"

Sunset thought and then smiled. "Truth."

"Is it true that you stole something from our teacher last week?" Adagio asked with a smirk.

Sunset then looked away from Adagio. "No comment on that."

You looked at Sunset and smirked. "Man, Sunset is acting like she's Carmen Sandiego."

Sunset rolled her eyes with a small blush. "Whatever that's a life for me."

"My turn." Sonata said with a big smile. "Aria truth or dare?"

Aria smirked at Sonata and crossed her arms. "Dare, I ain't a baby."

Sonata then looked over at Flash and smiled. "I dare you to kiss Flash."

Aria looked over at Flash. "Yeah no thanks, Flash your a good guy but I ain't gonna kiss you."

Flash nodded his head. "That's fine, I understand." You looked over at him and smiled, you knew deep down he didn't want to do that because he had a crush on Sunset.

"That's a life for Aria." Sunset said as she wrote it down to remind herself. "Ok, my turn." Sunset then looked around the group and saw Sonata. "Sonata truth or dare?"

Sonata smiled. "Truth."

Sunset smirked. "Is it true that you were the one that farted during lunch?"

Sonata turned redder than a tomato. "No comment."

"That's a life for Sonata." Sunset said as she smiled and wrote it down.

Flash rubbed his hand, he was looking forward to this. "Alright, the best for last Twilight truth or dare?"

"Dare." Twilight said as she stared at Flash. You looked back and forth between them, there was a war from Flash's earlier comment and it didn't look like either was going to back down.

Flash looked at her and smiled. "I dare you to eat some dirt since you want me to eat dirt."

You looked at Flash in surprise. Flash was surprisingly being very evil today. "Man, that's dirty, Flash."

Twilight nodded her head in defeat. "That's fair, I forfeit."

"Everyone but Anon has one life left." Sunset announced.

You smiled, you were not only winning but it was also your turn. "Ok Adagio truth or dare?"

Adagio thought about it and then smiled. "Dare."

"Who do you have a crush on?" You asked as you smirked. You knew Adagio loved talking about relationships and whatnot but did she have a crush on anyone?

Adagio blushed harder than Sonata. "That's a private question."

Sunset smiled at Adagio but then sighed. "Sorry Adagio, but your out."

Adagio smiled back at Sunset. She was a bit sad she lost but she didn't mind. "That's fine."

Twilight then raised her glasses. "My turn, Anon truth or dare?"

You thought about it. If you said dare you could possibly lose one of your lives. But by saying truth you had a better chance at keeping your lead. "Truth."

You saw Twilight smile, she had a plan and you had to be ready for it. "Is it true that you have a crush on someone at school?"

You smiled back at Twilight. Her plan was a good one but it wasn't going to work. "Nope, because if I did I would tell Flash."

Twilight nodded her head as Aria then smiled. "My turn, Flash truth or dare?"

Flash smirked. "Dare."

"I dare you to tell all of us who you like." Aria asked smirking. You looked over at Flash and you knew it was over for him.

Flash sighed to himself. "Dang, guess I'm out."

Everyone laughed as then Sonata looked at you. "My turn, Anon truth or dare?"

You smiled. "Dare." You had truth the last time, it was time to say dare.

"I dare you when we come back from the weekend to walk into the girls' bathroom." said Sonata. Everyone looked at her in surprise and then over to you.

You hated to admit it but Sonata knew what she was doing. You were in the lead so doing something like that was a smart call. "No way, no how. I don't want to be known as a pervert."

Sunset nodded as she wrote it down. "That's Anon's first live gone, and my turn Twilight truth or dare?"

"Truth." Twilight said raising her glasses once again.

"Is it true that you didn't get a 100% on that last test we did?" Sunset said with a bit of a smirk. You looked over at Twilight in surprise, she didn't get a perfect 100%?

Twilight looked at Sunset a bit upset. "For your information, I got a 99% still an A better than the B you got."

Flash laughed. "Oh snap Twilight fought back."

"You'll pay for that." Sunset said as she glared at Twilight. She then turned it over to you. "Back to you Anon."

"Alright. Aria truth or dare?" You asked as you looked over at Aria.

Aria smirked, and you smiled. You already knew what she was going to say. "Dare."

You smiled. "I dare you to tell us how much your sisters really mean to you."

Aria blushed. "That's for me to know, and only me."

"Aww, I love you too Aria." Sonata said as she gave Aria a hug.

Sunset smiled but then looked over at Aria. "Sorry Aria, but your out."

"Ok, Sonata truth or dare." Twilight asked as she looked over at Sonata.

Twilight smiled. "Truth."

Twilight smirked. "Is it true that you have a crush on someone at school?"

"It is." Sonata said while blushing. Sonata then turned over at Sunset. "My turn, Sunset truth or dare?"

Sunset smiled. "Dare."

"I dare you to ask a random person out." Sonata asked with a big smile.

Sunset shook her head. "Yeah I don't think so, all the boys other than Flash and Anon don't stand out to me."

You turn over to Flash and smiled. "You hear that Flash we're special."

Sunset nodded and then sighed as she looked down. "Oh well, I'm out, your turn Anon."

You turn to Sunset and nod. "Ok Sonata, truth or dare?"

Sonata smiled at you. "Dare."

You smiled at her, you just had to know. "Who is this person you have a liking to?"

Everyone seemed to wonder that as well. Sonata blushed from the attention she was getting from everyone. As you all waited in anticipation Sonata only got redder by the second, after a deep breath she finally began to speak.

Sonata looked down with a big blush. "It's Dusk Shine."

That seemed to cause a tornado because as soon as she said that the whole tree house was filled with questions like 'When are you going to ask him' and stuff like that. While everyone was cheering and whatnot Sunset's mother came outside.

"Sunset dinner ready." Mrs. Shimmer called out.

"Coming mom!" Sunset called back. She then stood up and looked at all of you. "Come on guys, let's go get some dinner."

As you guys climbed down the tree house you thought about what Sonata had said. You had kept a smile on the whole time but in reality, you felt hurt. Why did you feel hurt? You should feel happy with Sonata liking someone and helping her but you do not. What did Dusk Shine do to make her fall for him and why did it hurt so much to hear her say that she liked someone else?

Why?
