H is for Help

Sunset walked down the street with tears in her eyes. As she passed Rarity's house, the young fashionista saw her and called out to her. "Sunset, dear. Over here."
Seeing that she's being called, Sunset rushed over to her elegant friend.
"What's wrong, Rarity?" Sunset asked nervously. "Rip in your dress? Fashion show cancelled?"
"No, darling. I called you because you look like you're ready to cry your eyes out. Come in, and maybe I'll help you out."
Inside her living room, Rarity attempts to calm down Sunset.
"What happened to you, Sunset?" Rarity wandered. "Did somebody remind you of that Fall Formal nightmare again?"
"You said it." Sunset replied. "This time, it was Twilight's former principal."
"Abacus Cinch?!"
"Yeah. I was going to join Photo Finish in the diner to talk about her project for the upcoming science fair. Then, Abacus Cinch approached me, and shrieked about what happened that night. She especially expressed her hatred for the she-demon I've become. I ran away crying like crazy."
This got Rarity very upset. "She must've been angry at you."
"Angry?!" Sunset gasped. "She was sizzling like a hot hamburger. "
Rarity sees that Sunset started to shake with fear. Rarity went into her hall closet, grabbed some rope, and started tying up her nervous friend.
"Rarity!" Sunset gasped. "Stop! What are you doing?"
"Forgive me, dear." Rarity explained. "It's for your own good."
After Rarity finished tying Sunset's legs together, the former bully realized her situation. "I guess I asked for this."
"Not to fear, Sunset." Rarity assured. "Just try to relax, and you'll be okay."
Laying down on the couch, Sunset thought about her current situation. I guess it's a good thing Rarity removed my boots before tying my ankles together. She sure doesn't want her couch ruined.
Rarity returns with a blanket and a pillow. She puts the pillow under Sunset's head and draped the blanket over her.
"Perhaps a nap might calm you down a little." Rarity explained. "Then, maybe you can think of another way to relax."
"At least you didn't tie my hands behind my back. " Sunset said with relief. "That would've been uncomfortable. "
Rarity and Sunset has a small chuckle. The fashoinista left Sunset so she can lay down and relax. The next day, Sunset is at an area of Sweet Apple Acres. Wearing her red tank top and crimson tights, she sat cross legged on her yoga mat, looking at a huge hill.
"I should've thought of this earlier." Sunset said to herself. "Meditation is a good way to calm the mind and spirit. Abacus Cinch may have had me down. But, not out."
She soon heard the whinny of a horse. Sunset soon saw Applejack ride by on her horse, Penelope.
"Howdy, Sunset." Applejack greeted warmly. "Rarity told me what happened. Feeling better?"
"I sure am." Sunset replied calmly. "A quiet meditation is what I needed."
"Glad to hear it. See ya later."
Tipping her hat, Applejack rode off. As she left, Sunset closed her eyes to fully meditate. Days later, Photo Finish presented her science project. A metalized walker shaped like a letter H. With a remote control, Photo stopped her mechanical statue.
"I created this walker to commente this chapter." Photo announced. "Many of the words here started with the letter H. Horse, Hamburger, House, Hill, Hot, and Hat. This walker I built is a grand design. I would like to thank Sunset Shimmer for giving me the inspiration. "
Sunset smiled warmly as she and the rest of the audience applauded. As Photo puts down her remote control, it accidentally sent a command for the walker to rush out, and through the wall.
"Well, well, maybe," Photo Finish said nervously, "it could use a smidge more work." She sees her creation wander outside. With remote in hand, Photo chases it. "Come home, H! Come home!"
