"So you are telling that she just disappeared into thin air?" Limestone put the strange devices away.
"Yes!" Rainbow's voice pitched: "She did!"
"I know it sounds...weird," Sunset explains: "But I was there! I saw what happened! So did the rest of us!"
"Um," Limestone gives the girls a glance, whom all nod in agreement: "And none of you know what she looks like?"
"I am afraid not, Ms. Pie," Applejack takes her hat off, scratches the back of her head while averting eye contact: "But I did see a pair of glasses!"
"It is settled then," Limestone proceeds, head resting on her hand before anyone else had a chance to describe the appearance of the unwelcomed guest: "I will report to the Principal about this event. Sunset Shimmer!"
"Yes?" Startled by the cold-calling, Sunset's head popped up.
"Stand up." Limestone continues, a pair of glowing, greenish-yellow eyes focused on the nervous girl: "You can heal, right?"
"Y-yes, Princess! I mean Vice-Principal!" Sunset pouts at her mistake.
"Ok then," Limestone declares while picking up her phone: "Everyone meets me at the football field after school. I need to contact the Principal and all of you out of my office!"
"Wow," Rainbow whispers, spearing the office door a glance as it shuts behind them: "What is her problem?"
"Less complaining, more leaving!" Limestone shouts, her voice almost sent the blue girl through the ceiling.
"Yes, ma'am!" Rainbow replies before sneaking away from the office as her friends giggle.
"It is ok, Rainbow!" Pinkie pulls Rainbow into a powerful hug: "Limestone is just like that sometimes; she does not mean to hurt you!"
"O-Ok!" Rainbow squeezes the words from the gritted teeth as she struggles to get away from Pinkie's iron grip.
"Darlings!" Rarity giggles somehow manage to free Rainbow from Pinkie's arms with a gentle push: "The Vice-Principal has a high standard, that is all! I am sure she will be quite helpful in the future!"
"Rarity is right!" Pinkie shouts: "You guys will love her!"
"I do not know..." Fluttershy murmurs, hiding behind her long-pink hair: "She is scary..."
"Do not worry, Fluttershy!" Applejack takes off her hat, puts it on Fluttershy's head, all the while wearing a gentle smile on her face: "You are with us! There is nothing to be scared about! Right, Rainbow?"
"Right!" Rainbow wraps an arm over Fluttershy's shoulder: "The Vice-Principal may be scary, but we are here with you! Besides, she is Pinkie Pie's sister! Surely she will go easy on her little sister's best friends!"
"Oh, do not worry, Fluttershy!" Pinkie Pie pets Fluttershy's head and lowers her voice: "Auntie Pinkie will protect you!"
"I am a year older than you!" Fluttershy mumbles.
"Girls, I do not mean to interrupt you," Rarity walks to her friends: "It is simply lovely that you are sharing such a bond, but...Aren’t we forgetting someone?"
"Where is Sunset?" Realizing the absence of a friend, Rainbow starts to look around.
"She was just next to me a moment ago," Rarity sighs: "And then she is gone!"
"Concern it!" Applejack facepalmed: "She is part of the team, and we just forget about her? Some friends we are!"
"Rainbow, darling," Rarity put a hand over Rainbow Dash's shoulder: "You and Sunset are close, so can you...ask her if everything is ok?"
"I just do not know if she is gonna listen!" Rainbow scratches her head: "She has been avoiding me since Vice-Principal Luna...you know!"
"Or, we can just throw a party!" Pinkie shouts while throwing confetti everywhere with her bare hands.
"Yeah, I do not think that is gonna work," Rainbow sighs: "I think we need to convince Sunset that we care about her!"
"Or maybe," Fluttershy suggests, her voice so quiet that only Rainbow can hear it: "She just does not want to bring us bad luck."
"But that is ridiculous!" Rainbow frowns, her arm still wrapped around Fluttershy: "Why would she think that!"
"I literally said the same thing," Applejack rolled her eyes: "But why would she think that way exactly?"
"If I may," Rarity closes her eyes, inhales, exhales before explaining: "The...series of events in recently did occur after Sunset joined us. I personally do not believe Sunset is the cause, but she might have rationalized it differently."
"Ok, I will talk to her," Rainbow sighed: "But there is no way that she will listen."
"Good evening," Chrysalis greets Twilight, while still lying on the couch, as the front door of the Sparkle household creaks open: "How is your research."
Twilight slams the door shut, kicks her shoes off, and goes up the stairs without looking at Chrysalis.
"Ok," Chrysalis shrugs as Twilight's parent follows Twilight upstairs. This Twilight, Chrysalis thinks: is lonely, insecure, unstable, and yet powerful. She can literally take other stand user's power and even personality away. Just look at her own parents! Walking around the house like zombies with that creepy smile mounted on their faces. Sometimes, I wonder if their true self was just trapped somewhere deep down, scream in horror as their daughter changes their personality and memory to her liking.
"Agh..." Chrysalis groans as her phone rings. It is a message from Glomung: I will be there in an hour, do not try anything funny.
"Sunset, Sunset, SUNSET!" Adagio screams on top of her lunges and lands a punch on the wall as the light in her trailer flickers on and off.
"How upsetting..." A familiar voice speaks from the dark corners of the room.
"Sunset?" Adagio looks towards the direction where the voice comes from.
"Not quite," The shadow says: "You may call me Glomung."
"SUNSET!" Adagio shouts before charging. Unable to summon her stand, the siren grabbed a pot before swinging at Glomung with full force. Although she cannot see precisely who that is, Adagio will never forget that voice.
"Ouch!"
"Sister?" Adagio looks in shock as Aria's unconscious body rolls on the floor.
"Consider this a gift," Glomung murmurs directly into Adagio's ears: "The other one is in bed now. I may need your assistance one day, but before that day comes, consider this an act of generosity."
"Sunset Shimmer, what is your..." Adagio turns around, but Glomung is already gone.
