Sunset dove into bed only to have her phone go off. She groaned into the sheets on her bed and blindly waved her hand around to grab the wretched thing. She so desperately wanted some sleep. When she had the phone in her hand it quickly found its way on the other side of the room. There was a loud crack as it collided with the wall and she sighed happily as the ringing stopped. Sure she wasn't excited that she'd now have a damaged phone but future Sunset would have to deal with that. Right now present Sunset wanted to get her z's.
She let the warmth of the sheets wrap around her and the scent of clean linen lull her to a light sleep. All the thoughts she had had during the day shifted into the back of her mind as they exchanged themselves for what would eventually become a dream. But that dream would never come, much to her dissatisfaction. The obnoxious ring of her phone woke her from the light sleep she was enjoying for not even 15 whole minutes.
Sunset grabbed her pillow and placed it over her head. But it kept ringing. For over three minutes. She jumped up and snatched the phone up. Angrily, she picked up the call and yelled," WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WANT!!!!!"
"...I-I'm so sorry, Sunset. I di-didn't mean to disturb you..."
Sunset paused. That soft voice...Wait a minute. "Fluttershy?? Wait wait, no! I'm sorry! I was just really tired and the phone kept ringing and...(sigh) I apologize."
Fluttershy? What would she be calling for? She hadn't even spoken to those girls any time recently so how did she even get her number? Sunset glanced at the screen and found her answer. Fluttershy was speaking to her through Pinkie's phone. No wonder. That girl always knew someone's number somehow. If this shy girl has her phone then no doubt she'd be with the other girls...and no doubt she'd be on speaker phone.
Sunset groaned. She wasn't even friendly with them. What do they want? On the phone she could hear people talking to one another before a question was directed to her. "So how are you, Sunset."
The said girl sighed before replying to Rainbow Dash. "Just great. Just great...What are you calling for."
"We just want to know how you're doing at your new school!" Pinkie chirped.
The fiery headed one covered her ear and said," I told you it's juuuust great."
"Good. Good. So...what might you be doin' now?"
"Talking to all of you, Applejack."
"Oh. Uh...hehehe..."
Sunset could hear Rarity groan and telling her to hand over the phone. "Sunset, darling?"
"Yes. What do you guys want. I'm trying to sleep and you're interrupting me. We can 'catch up' some other time. Actually, I don't care to so I'm just going to hang up and--"
"We just need to know if you've seen Twilight anywhere!" Rarity said quickly. "Just tell us this."
Sunset rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I have. I'm hangin--"
"Where have you seen her?"
"Uh, where I am. But don't try and look for her. She's not the one you want." And with that, she hung up. Collapsing onto the bed she yawned and closed her eyes, letting the world around her disappear as she slipped into a realm of fantasy.
Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie all looked at the phone as Sunset Shimmer hung up. they were silent for a while until Rainbow spoke. "Can anyone tell me what she meant by that last part?"
Applejack scratched her neck. "What duh you mean, Dash?"
"What do you mean what do you mean about what she meant??" Rainbow repeated. "What I mean is what does she mean by Twilight not being the one we want!"
"...Come again?" the cowgirl said.
"What do you mean what do you mean about what she meant and what she didn't mean and what she could've meant but didn't mean at the moment but might totally have meant in the future?" Pinkie added, clearly aware of what Rainbow was saying.
"...What?" Fluttershy murmured.
Before Applejack could say a word Rarity placed a hand on her shoulder and shook her head. "Lets just stick to what we know for certain since you three are clearly confusing each other. From what Sunset has told us we know that Twilight is somewhere around where Sunset is."
"So you mean that Sunset could mean that Twilight is around the city border of Pointeville-Canterlot or she could mean she's hanging around the high school she's attending, right?"
Rarity shot a look at the pink party person. "...Yes."
Fluttershy tilted her head still trying to figure out what was going on. Applejack adjusted her hat and said," So then after the Spring Fling, Twilight headed over there? But why?"
Rainbow shrugged. "Twilight never told us why. She just left us without saying anything regarding what was on her mind. She wouldn't have gone through the mirror just to go dancing."
"Exactly! Which is why we need to pinpoint where Twilight is and ask her stuff!" Pinkie yelled. "Some super duper secret thing must be going on if she avoided us like that. A spy mission no doubt!"
"I'm pretty sure it's not anything with spies," Fluttershy commented quietly, but went unheard.
"After school, lets meet at the soccer field and then head off toward Pointeville. We're going to crack this case!" an excited athlete told them.
"And you mean 'crack the case' as in solve the problem, not meaning literally cracking a case of eggs, right?" Pinkie asked.
Applejack, Rarity, and Dash all groaned. Fluttershy just furrowed her brow and said," What?"
