Later all the girls were in the band room. The school had announced that they were going to have a musical showcase so rainbow dash suggested they should start a band to be in it and decide to meet in the band room to get started on practicing.

“Oh Yeah, we’re better than ever.” The girls sang as they finished their song.

“Hey, have any of y’all seen Sunset.” Applejack asked the group

“Nope” everyone but Fluttershy replied.

“Come to think of it I haven’t seen her since Sunday when we were cloud watching” Rarity added.

“I have” Fluttershy said no one noticing.

“She’s probably just busy, Sunset can take care of herself” Rainbow commented.

“Yer right, we probly shoun’t worry.” Applejack replied

…

(That night after band practice)

Sunset had spent the rest of the day crying in the bathroom. Luckily for her it was the one bathroom no one went into. After the final bell rang she ran home. She was currently curled up on her bed in the creepy abandoned warehouse she called home.

Ding! Sunsets phone buzzed from the other side of her ‘bedroom’. It was a text from Fluttershy.

“Hey sunset, I saw what happened earlier, I just wanted to ask if you were ok”

She read it, then reread it, but didn’t respond. 

“Why do they even care. Why should they care. Especially Fluttershy. I hurt her the most of all.” Sunset said to no one in particular.
…

(Flutershys POV, 2 am)

“Please answer Sunset” Fluttershy muttered nervously staring down at her phone.

Fluttershy had known something was wrong with Sunset since a week after the fall formal but she decided not to ask about it and let sunset deal with it but recently it was getting significantly harder to ignore. She knew the signs of depression. She’d gone through it herself not so long ago until rainbow got involved.

“Please Sunset”

She kept staring at the icon indicating that sunset had read the message until she couldn’t take it anymore. And started typing a new message.

“I’m coming over.” Her finger hovered over the send button before realizing she had absolutely no idea where sunset lived or how to get there. Just then Zephyr walked in.

“What are you doing up so late and who are you talking to?”

“No one, sorry Zeph. I’m going to sleep now”

“Ok just stop packing around your room.”

“Sure, good night Zeph.”

The door swing shut as Zephyr headed back to his room leaving flutershy getting into be, once again alone with her thoughts.

“Guess I’ll have to talk to Sunset tomorrow” she thought to herself.
