One day had passed by, just one and the entire school soon heard about the massive fight between Scribe and Sunset. One thing was for certain, the group of their six friends were unfortunately caught in the middle. Scribe and Sunset were going to great lengths to avoid each other and every time some of the students and a couple of their friends had to deal with it. One such time was when they had both entered the library, both glared at each other and exited at the same time through different doors without saying a word. The girls on the other hand were getting slightly tired of seeing their two friends fight and were trying to devise a way to get them to talk their problem out, but each attempt was either met with anger from either parties or utter failure.
A week this had continued for until eventually the kicker had arrived. It was pretty much a regular day for the most part and both Scribe and Sunset reached a sort of unspoken truce whenever lunch arrived. They would sit at the same table with the girls but would never say a word to each other but today was going to be different. The girls had waited long enough and stood ideally by while both Sunset and Scribe did nothing, it was time for an intervention.
Twilight cleared her throat, “So Scribe…how’s your day going?”
Scribe glanced over, “It’s going good, pretty chilled if you ask me.”
Rarity turned to Sunset, “And what about you darling?”
Sunset cast a sideways look at her, “All things considered it’s pretty normal.”
Applejack sighed in annoyance at the fact that small talk wasn’t doing anything, “Alright look, we’ve been givin ya’ll your space but this has got ta stop!”

I immediately realized what they were trying to do as I stabbed my food, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, everything is fine,” I glared at Sunset, “all things considered.”
Sunset narrowed her eyes at me, “That’s funny, oh how I’ve missed your sense of humour.”
I stood up sharply, “I just lost my appetite I’m going to go for a walk.”
Sunset stood as well, “Same here.”
*
Applejack stood up and grabbed Scribe, “No you ain’t! Yer gonna work out this fiasco here and now.”
Twilight and the other girls then grabbed an objecting Sunset as both parties dragged both of their friends out of the cafeteria toward the hall. Both were putting up a good fight as they were soon shoved into the janitors closet and shut inside.
Sunset banged angrily upon the door, “LET US OUT! I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY TO HIM!”
Rainbow Dash yelled back quickly, “Not until you two sort this out!”
Scribe’s voice answered her back, “I’ll talk to her when she apologizes.”
All present face palmed.
*
Sunset rounded on me, “ME APOLOGIZE!? Oh that’s rich!”
I stood up and pointed at her, “I don’t appreciate being spied on!”
Sunset smacked my hand, “I don’t appreciate being lied too!”
We both glared at each other and sat on opposite ends of the closet still glaring at each other while both saying, “I am NOT talking to you.”
We then both sat in silence and eventually we stared at the floor. My mind began to think back to various things, most of them were all of the moments me and her spent together. I shook my head remembering that I was supposed to be pissed at her. Sunset glanced up at me and hugged her knees to her chest then looked away.
I chuckled slightly, “How long do you think they intend to keep us in here?”
Sunset looked at me, “Probably until school ends.”
We both realized our mistake and looked away again.

Rarity had her ear pressed against the door, “Well at least their talking now.”
Fluttershy smiled, “That’s a good sign…it is isn’t it?”
Twilight nodded, “Yes, now we just have to wait.”

I was drumming my fingers against the floor as Sunset was absently looking at the ceiling. I thought back on everything I had ever said to her and realized that I pretty much deserved the chewing out she hurled at me. Another thing I hate about myself is that I don’t know when to shut up even when I’m in the wrong. I knew what I had to do and it wasn’t going to be easy.
I inhaled to steady my nerves, “Sunset…I’m sorry.”
She looked at me, “What?”
I stood up, “For everything you know? You have no idea how much it tore me up inside to lie to you,” I raised a hand and nodded to myself, “granted it was a stupid move on my part. I just didn’t want to hurt you or worse.”
Sunset stood up with concern on her face, “Scribe, be that as it may you still lied to me and didn’t admit it. I don’t know if I can trust what you’re saying to me even now or if I can even trust anything you say.”
I nodded sadly, “I deserve nothing less. But know that I never wanted to hurt you; I kind of deserved my privacy privileges being revoked.”
Sunset blinked a few times, “That’s the weird thing,” she turned to me, “I found that recording in my locker the day we had the fight.”
I became greatly confused, “You mean somebody else planted that in your locker?”
Sunset nodded as she rubbed her chin, “Now that I think about it I think I might know who the culprit is.”
I rolled my eyes, “Tell me about it.”
However I suppose coming to the same conclusion must have made us happy because we both hugged with smiles on our faces while we both said, “Man we are SUCH idiots! AHAHAHAHAHA!”
Soon the door opened revealing the smiling faces of our friends as Rarity stated, “Now that wasn’t so hard was it? You two never had any reason to fight…well there was one reason.”
At that being said Sunset backed away from me, “Right, Scribe it’s time to tell the truth. Who exactly are you and where are you really from?”
I sighed dreading this. I looked up at Twilight who gave a supporting smile.
I nodded, “Alright this may seem a little hard to believe but-“
Pinkie Pie inhaled, “You’re actually not from where Twilight and Sunset are from or from this Earth. You’re actually a human from an entirely DIFFERENT Earth that has nothing that either world has; in fact your Earth is from an entirely different universe than ours. Plus the reason you never told any of us the truth was because you and Twilight were under orders from her teacher. But worse of all is when your mission is complete you’ll be sent back to your world and you never wanted to tell us THAT because you didn’t want our feelings hurt and you didn’t want to break Sunset’s heart,” she then finished her sentence with a big smile.
Twilight, Sunset, and my mouth were all agape in astonishment.
I pointed, “How did you-“
Pinkie continued to smile, “It was just a hunch, no big deal.”
I blinked a couple of times as my brain short circuited.
Sunset approached me slowly with a slightly saddened look, “Is that true?”
I sighed in equal sadness, “Every single word.”
She hugged me tightly as I patted her back, “Trust me Sunny; I’m not going anywhere any time soon.”
She smiled up at me as I stated with a grin, “This means that every moment we spend is even more special.”
Twilight then pulled out the tape recorder and glared at it, “Chrysalis, why must you always try to ruin something?”
I narrowed my eyes, “Girls I hate to sound a little cynical. But if we don’t do something soon she’s gonna win. Therefore I think it’s time that we look ahead and realize we have to end her before she ends us.”
Rainbow nodded, “We’re with ya dude!”
I smiled, “Great. Now I’ve been formulating a stratagem this past week, and I believe it may work if executed correctly.”
Applejack nodded, “What is it?”
I looked around, “Not here.”

Chrysalis sat in silence after the news was given to her that her latest plot had failed.
After a few seconds she began to laugh hysterically which frightened every changeling present.
She then ceased her laughter with a maniacal smile, “Now everything has come to fruition and those fools think they have won. All the information I need has been gathered, Captain inform the rest of the troops that the time is now upon us. On the coming day of mid-terms, the subjugation of the universe under The Changeling Empire begins!”
