Sunrise Light and Sunset Shimmer were the best of friends. They told each other everything, and would go over to each other’s houses and had sleepovers almost every day if they could. They spent almost every day together. Today, Sunrise and Sunset were playing together at Sunrise’s house. They were in Sunrise’s playroom. Sunrise was wearing a blue short sleeve hoodie with tan cargo shorts that showed his pure white skin. Sunset was wearing a white short sleeved shirt with a dark green skirt and red belt, and her hair was down. She was sitting at the play table making a bracelet, while Sunrise was playing with legos. “Hey, Sunrise!” Sunset had her hands behind her back, obviously hiding something from her friend. “Guess what I made for you?” Sunrise looked up at his friend. “What?” He attempted to look to see what she was hiding, but to no avail. “What is it, Sunset?” She showed what she was hiding: a friendship bracelet. There was an assortment of purple beads on it, and there were 3 round white beads with the letters ‘B’ , ‘F’ , and ‘F’ on it. Sunrise groaned. “Sunset, those are girls’ colors! I can’t wear that!”  “But Sunrise, I made it especially for you…” she frowned. Sunrise gave in. “Okay, fine…” Sunset put the bracelet on his wrist, and hugged him tightly. “Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sunrise! You’re the bestest friend in the entire world!” Sunrise smiled, even though he could barely breathe from Sunset’s bone-crushingly tight hug. “Sunset...I..can’t..breathe..” He said in-between breaths. “Oh..” Sunset let him go. “Sorry, Sunrise.” “It’s okay. You’re my bestest friend in the whole entire world, too!” Sunrise stated. “So, what do you wanna play next?” Sunset asked him. Sunrise’s mother walked  into the room , looking distraught, but trying her best to keep calm. “Sunset, you need to get your things together. Your dad called me, and he needs you home right away.” Mrs. Light  said, now starting to pick up Sunset’s things and putting them in the girl’s backpack. “But- but Daddy told me I didn’t have to leave ‘til dinnertime. Why do I have to go now?” She asked with a frown on her face. “I know honey, but your Daddy needs you home now. Now please, go put your coat and boots on.” She gave Sunset her backpack. “I will be driving you home, since it’s raining outside.” “O-okay.” Sunset looked back at Sunrise. “See you later, Sunrise.” “See ya later.” Sunrise waved as Sunset and his mother walked out of the room. --- Sunset was scared. Her dad never made her come home before she had to, and Mrs. Light looked worried. What was wrong? Mrs. Light stopped her car in front of Sunset’s house, and Sunset got out of the car. “Thanks for driving me home, Mrs. Light.” She said, now walking to her porch, so she wouldn’t get drenched from the pouring rain. “It’s no problem, sweetie.” Mrs. Light replied, then rolled up her window. Sunset walked into her house, and saw her dad, uncle, grandma, and her grandpa , who all looked like they had been crying. She noticed one thing: her mom wasn’t there. “Where’s Mommy?” Sunset asked, concerned. Sunset’s dad picked her up, and hugged her tightly. She felt her father’s tears landing on her coat. Why was her Daddy crying? Is her Mommy okay? “Sunset, honey..” Her father said between sobs. “Mommy is in a better place.” Sunset was shocked. She didn’t know what to say. --- [1 week later…] Sunset’s father was loading their belongings into a moving truck. Sunset knew she and her dad were leaving, but why? Her Mommy would want her to stay here and be happy, but her Daddy didn’t think so. Sunset walked out of her now empty house, except for a couple boxes here or there. Sunset walked up to her father and tugged on his pant leg to get his attention. Her dad looked down at her. “What do you need, sweetie?” “Daddy, why do we have to move?” Her father thought for a minute. “Because...I think you’re gonna have fun where we are moving to. The city is called Manehattan. It is a really fun place with lots of fun stuff to do, okay? Now go get your backpack from your room, we will be leaving soon.” Sunset turned around and began to walk into the house, but she thought about Sunrise for a moment. She wanted to go say bye to Sunrise. “Can I go say bye to Sunrise first?” Sunset asked. “No Sunset, you can’t.” Her father said while putting another box in the moving truck.  “Now please, go get your backpack, and check to make sure there’s nothing else in your room that you might’ve forgot.” Sunset looked down, sad that she couldn’t say bye to her best friend. Now Sunrise is gonna think Sunrise is mad at her, and he won’t wanna be her friend anymore. She went into her house and saw that the house was empty now. No more furniture, T.V. , or food in the refrigerator. She walked up the stairs and went into her bedroom. Her pink walls were now plain because all of her posters and mirrors were taken down. Her light orange backpack was hung on her doorknob, so she grabbed it and put in on her back. She walked out, turned around and looked at her room for one last time, and a tear shed from her eye. “Bye bye, Sunrise..” --- [The day after Sunset left..] Sunrise looked out his bedroom window, and saw that Sunset wasn’t outside...again. She hadn’t been outside her house for a week now, and he was getting worried. He didn’t have anyone to play with, or have fun with, or even talk to. Sure, he could talk to his mom or sister, but that was not the same. Sunset is his best friend. Then, Sunrise looked at Sunset’s house, and saw that her bedroom window was open, and her once orange curtains were gone. Sunrise decided to go downstairs and ask his mom why Sunset’s room was empty. One he got downstairs, he saw that his mom was in the kitchen, making lunch. She turned around and noticed Sunrise was standing there, looking worried. “What’s wrong, sweetie?” Ms Light asked. “Why is Sunset’s bedroom empty? I-I was looking out the window and saw that her curtains were gone, and so was everything else.” Sunrise explained. Sunrise’s mom thought of what to say for a moment. “Sunrise..Sunset had to move. She and her Dad needed to be close to her other family members.” Ms. Light explained. Tears formed in Sunrise’s eyes, and he ran upstairs to his room. He rummaged through his dresser drawers, and found the bracelet that Sunset made for him. He put it on, and looked out of his window. “Bye bye, Sunset…” Sunrise said, his eyes filled with tears.
