Sunset's Gone

by sapphirebluez


Worries

The auditorium in Canterlot High was bustling with noise as many students panicked about Te evens that had happened earlier involving a mysterious hooded figure that was spying on the Mane 5. Even Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna weren’t able to calm down the activity and commotion. Questions were raised.

Who was that figure?!

What does it want with us??!!

Maybe that figure is here to give us justice for the way that we had treated Sunset Shimmer and punish us!!!

Oh my gosh! Somebody call Twilight!!

The noises and shouts in the auditorium only grew louder and worse until finally Rarity went to the top the stage and screamed :

LISTEN UP YOU BUNCH OF UNCOUTH MONKEYS AND LET THE PRINCIPALS SPEAK!!!

The students quieted almost instantly.

“Thank you, darlings” Rarity said, pleased

“Whoa, the last time I saw Rarity scream like that was when she was having her ‘time of the month” Rainbow Dash chuckled earning a snicker from the rest of her friends.

“Um, thank you for your help Miss Rarity, now as you all know a new figure has appeared in our school and this figure has magic, therefore from another dimension or probably banished to our dimension and the only people who know magic are Princess Twilight Sparkle, The Mane 5 and Sunset Shimmer.” Principal Celestia stated in a tone of fake worry for she knew who the figure was.

This caused a murmur amongst the crowd.

“But since Sunset Shimmer is gone and taking her ways of communicating to the other world with her…our only hope’s are the Mane 5.” The principal stated addressing to Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Fluttershy.

The crowed turned to them and began pleading for help.

Please help us!!

We’re so so sorry for the way we treated you during the Battle of the Bands and the Anon-a-Miss fiasco.

Sunset and Twilight are no more! Please help us we’ll do anything!!

Oh Faust have mercy on us!!

The Mane 5 were getting annoyed but Fluttershy the most, as she began to use her ‘stare’ which silenced the crowed almost instantly as they were paralyzed in fear. Nobody dared made a move or a sound.

The rest of the Mane 5 gave a small smirk, Fluttershy can be useful when she wants too. Applejack then took the microphone from Principal Celestia and began speaking loud and clear :

“Listen up yall”

The crowd perked up.

“Ah understand that any of you are afraid and worried but me and mah friends have came up with something, why don’t we all find and apologize to Sunset Shimmer?” Applejack told the crowd.

This riled up some murmurs in the crowd, which they had doubts that Sunset would ever forgive them after the way they treated her, like trash.

“Look, ah understand that yall feel guilty for the way yall acted to her, me and mah friends too, but now we have too! To apologize to her, not for our sake, but to show that we are truly sorry for our actions and we want her back!! After all we want to show her we can be true friends and we will keep our promise and never doubt her again no matter what! Especially since we all learned our lesson during the Anon-a-Miss disaster!”

Applejack was standing strong her words bringing effect to every student as they started clapping and this made her friends smiled proudly at her.

Clapping became cheering.

Cheering became stomping.

Stomping became Chanting.

FOR SUNSET, FOR SUNSET, FOR SUNSET……!

The crowd of students continued to chant, cheer and stomp until Rainbow grabbed the microphone from Applejack.

“ARE WE GONNA SHOW HER WHO’S A CANTERLOT WONDERCOLT?

“YEAH!!!”

Rarity took the microphone from Rainbow.

“ARE WE GONNA SHOW THEM WHO’S A TRUE FRIEND?!!”

“YEAH”

Rarity then handed the microphone to Fluttershy.

“Um… YAY!!”

Finally Pinkie Pie took the microphone and screamed:

“WHO’S READY TO PARR-TEH!!!

“YEAH!!!!”.


Back at Sunset’s apartment Applebloom was preparing to leave but Sunset stopped her.

“Listen, can you make me a promise?” Sunset asked urgently.

“Anything for you, Sunset.” Applebloom said eagerly.

“I want you to promise me that whatever that you have seen and whatever conversation you just had with me and……her, must never be exposed no matter what not even to your crusader friends, act like this has never happened and whatever you’ve seen was non-existent.” Sunset said softly to Applebloom. “Promise?”

Applebloom made her hand into a salute form.

“Ah promise Sunset from the bottom of mah heart that ah will keep this a secrect.” Applebloom said confidently.

“Good, Oh and Applebloom, thank you very much for the beautiful bracelet, I love it and will always cherish it. ” Sunset said gratefully as she opened the door for Applebloom to leave.

“Yer welcome Sunset.” Applebloom smiled and closed the door behind her.


Applebloom walked down the streets when she bumped into the Mane 5. The Mane 5 were surprised to see her, especially her sister, Applejack.

“Applebloom where were ya?! I didn’t see ya in the auditorium, even Sweetiebell and Scootallo had no idea where you were.” Applejack questioned her sister eyeing her little sister like an eagle eyeing its prey.

This worried Applebloom as she quickly tried to change the subject.

“Oh hehe just nowhere, say, why don’t we go to Sugarcube corner and have some smoothing? Its kinda hot today and ah’m feeling a little sweaty” Applbloom said pretending to act like she was sweaty but fanning herself with her hand.

“OOOOHH! Smoothies I want one!” Pinkie said excitedly as she and Applebloom zoomed of to Sugarcube Corner first followed by the rest of their friends.

“Um aren’t you coming Applejack…if that’s okay with you….” Fluttershy asked meekly.

“Soon Fluttershy sugarcube….” Applejack said as she stared at Applebloom running down with Pinkie, suspicion clearly imprinted in her mind that her sister was hiding something.


In Sugarcube Corner the Mane 5 and Applebloom were drinking and enjoying their smoothies but Applejack kept giving her sister a look as to say ‘Ah know you’re hiding something’, Applebloom however was trying to avoid eye contact from her big sister.

Suddenly Fluttershy spoke up:

“Um, since you weren’t at our school a time being we…had an encounter….” She said timidly.

“Oh and what encounter? A wild Pokemon??” Applebloom asked jokingly which earned a laugh from everyone except her sister Applejack who continued to eye her suspiciously.

“ No, Applebloom darling, it was actually from someone from another dimension, as it was spying on us and used magic on us to teleport away when we tried to confront her.” Rarity said darkly.

“Whoever it was I will give him or her a beat down!” Rainbow said angrily shaking her fist.

Applebloom stopped drinking as she asked worriedly, her voice low, almost to a whisper:

“W-Who was it?”

“We don’t know for her face was concealed with a hood hiding her appearance” Rarity’s expression darkened as she said worriedly.


Back at Sweet Apple Acres……

It was nighttime now as the skies were dark and the area was quiet, Applebloom was in her bedroom with the door shut and locked for she was secretly typing a message a message to Sunset Shimmer on her phone which she secretly took it back after it was confiscated.

Sunset Shimmer? This is important, the hooded figure Ah saw, met and talked to earlier…. Well, she was seen and encountered at mah school. Pls reply this is urgent!!!

There was a buzzing sound as Sunset replied her text message.

I know, she has told me so, I’m pretty sure they’re gonna try and apologize to me and ask me to help contact Twilight to help find their ‘mysterious figure’ lol. I’ll just play along then.

A small smile formed on Applebloom’s lips as she typed a reply on her phone.

Also, don’t worry Sunset ah‘ve still kept yer secret safe.

Another buzz, signaling a reply from Sunset.

Thank you so much Applebloom, you’ve helped me a lot here, also, where did you get that necklace? I’m sure that was not cheap seeing that the jewels were made and crafted with high quality.

Before Applebloom could reply, there was a knock on the door. Applebloom quickly switched of her phone and slid it under her pillow. She then rushed over to open the door, not wanting to keep the person outside her door waiting.

She then opened the door which revealed to be her sister Applejack, who was standing outside her door with her eyebrow raised.

“Sister why in tarnation are ya still awake?! Ya should be asleep by now….but never mind, ah’ve wanted to ask you something important.” Applejack said in a calm yet tern stern tone in her voice.

Applebloom was worried, she had never seen her sister this serious before as she quickly responded:

“S-sure sis come in…. now….what was it ya wanted to ask?”

Applejack then came inside her room, sat on Applebloom’s beside and motioned her sister to do the same before grabbing onto her shoulders, looking into her eyes and asking in a dead serious tone.

“Now, tell me little sis, what were ya doing skipping school and talking to Sunset Shimmer about?”
