//------------------------------// // Not the Best Start // Story: Fight For Love // by Phoenix Flames //------------------------------// Sunset walked to her class, looked through the door and watched Twilight sit on her seat. "Ok Shimmer you've passed the entrance exam to Celestia's school so well she made you her personal student, you've helped defeat the dazzlings and showed a anti- social student friendship. So talking to said student shouldn't be hard." Sunset said as she put the collar on her jacket up. She walked through the door and when Twilight waved at her, Sunset felt a warm feeling go through her and giggled. She then quickly covered her mouth and turned around. Way a go Sunset! I can't sit with Twilight if everything she does is going to make me act like a total doof. She then turned around and saw an empty seat near Snips and Snails. When she sat with them it gained confused looks from Twilight, Snips and Snails. But Twilight couldn't do anything about it when Flash came in the class and asked Twilight if he could sit with her. "Er sure I guess." Twilight said looking behind her at Sunset who wasn't looking at her. During class Snips nudged Sunset. "What is it?" Sunset whispered looking at him. "Why are you avoiding Twilight?" Snips asked also whispering. Sunset looked at Twilight doing her work "How did you know?" Sunset asked scared if it was obvious. "Dude we were your henchmen when you reigned over this school. We know you well enough to know when you're avoiding something." Snips said with a smile. "Yeah you can trust us." Snails said as he looked up from his paper. "Wow now I feel more guilt for taking advantage of you two then I did originally." Sunset said looking down ashamed of herself. "It's alright Sunset. Now tell us!" Snails said eager to know the reason why Susnet had been acting strange. "Ok I have a crush on Twilight." Sunset with a smile. "WHAT!" Snips and Snails screamed with happiness in their voices. Although their entire conversation had been whispers the last part had caught the entire class' attention. "Sunset Shimmer, Snips and Snails care to share what you were talking about?" Mr Donkey asked. "Nope." They all answered. "In that case all of you out!" The three former bullies all walked out of the class with a smile on their faces. As soon as they were out of the classroom Snips and Snails started asking questions to Sunset about her crush and Sunset answered all of them happily. At lunch Twilight sat opposite Sunset and glared at her. "Why?" Twilight asked angrily. "Why, what?" Sunset asked trying to sound oblivious. "You know what! You didn't sit with me in class and completely ignored me all day!" Twilight answered with an angry look. Before Sunset could answer the Mane 5 came. "Whoa Twi why are you shouting your head off." Rainbow asked sitting next to her. "Sunset has been ignoring me all day." Twilight crossing her arms which forced Sunset to keep her laughter in. "What makes you think she's been ignoring you?" Fluttershy asked sitting on the other side of Twilight as Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie sat with Sunset. "She completely ignored me in class and didn't even say hello to me!" Twilight said sulking. "Well Twilight I agree it was rude that Sunset didn't talk to you but, I think you may be taking this too far." Rarity said putting her hand on Twilight's shoulder. "Yeah Sunset apologise to Twilight for being rude. " Rainbow Dash said nicely. Sunset rolled her eyes and apologised. "Awesome sauce! Twilight apologise to Sunset for lashing out on her." Rainbow said patting her shoulder. Twilight groaned but apologised. "Well now that we've all sorted this out can we all eat our dinner?" Applejack asked thankful that Twilight wasn't mad anymore. "Actually I need Twilight's help with my maths homework! And we need to go now!" Rainbow Dash said getting up dragging Twilight with her. Twilight waved at the others as her and Rainbow Dash ran to the libary. "So.... Sunset, care to explain why you've been avoiding Twilight." Applejack asked as everyone looked at Sunset. Sunset blushed "Ok I'll admit that it was stupid of me to avoid her like that. I just want to be able to be around Twilight without acting like a complete doof." Sunset sighed as she leaned on her seat. "Be yourself Sunset and if Twilight does something which makes tou feel all warm inside then just compliment her. Don't ignore her! It'll make her feel terrible." Pinkie said in a firm voice. "Heh got it. Thanks." Sunset said with a nervous laugh. Twilight was standing outside of the school grounds waiting for her brother to pick her up. Then Sunset walked out the door and saw Twilight. Ok you need to give Twilight a proper apology. Sunset walked down the steps and came behind Twilight. "Er Twilight" Sunset said startling Twilight. "Sunset! Sorry I didn't see you." Twilight said pushing her glasses up. "Nah it's my fault. I shouldn't have sneaked up on you." Sunset replied. They both just stood there until they both decided one if them should break the ice. "Look I-" "I want-" Twilight and Sunset said at the same time causing them both to giggle. "You first." Sunset said once she had stop giggling. "I want to apologise. I shouldn't have been so rude." Twilight said looking down. "No its my fault for ignoring you. I'm sorry." Sunset lifting Twilight's head with her finger on Twilight's chin. "Why did you sit next to Snips and Snails instead of me?" Twilight asked curiously. "Oh that. Um" Sunset was trying to think of an excuse then they both heard a horn. It was Shining Armor coming in his car. He stopped next to the two girls and gave a sheepish grin. "Sorry I'm late Twily. Hey Sunset. " Shining Armor said waving at Sunset who waved back. "It's ok Shiny." Twilight said looking at Shining Armor then she looked back at Sunset "bye." And she gave Sunset a short hug and went inside her brother's car. Sunset scratched the back if her head smiling to herself as she walked to her motorcycle.
