//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 // Story: An Unfulfilled Past // by Ctmaley //------------------------------// As Sunset finished recalling her first day with her family, Fluttershy pondered in her mind what caused this falling out between Sunset and her parents. After a few minutes of sitting in silence the pink haired girl spoke. "So...um I hope you don't mind me asking this, but how exactly did you have this falling out with your parents? because your siblings seemed alright and by they way your described your encounter with them, the three of them aren't that bad." Fluttershy asked. "Well that was only the first day and I never really disliked my sisters and brother even after what happened." Sunset responded. "Oh." Fluttershy said still trying to piece all this together "do you still miss them?" she asked. Sunset turned and looked at her "Yes" she responded. "So if you had the option, would you possibly go back to Equestria and see your siblings?" Fluttershy asked curiously. Sunset took a breath before answering that question as it was something she never really thought about until now. "That's actually something that I haven't really thought about, as I wouldn't know what to say to them for starters and I don't know if they're mad or frustrated at me so...yea." she finish. Fluttershy pulled Sunset into a quick hug "Well you still have me." she said before releasing her. 'Thank you for that, however if we get side-tracked now, it might be days before I remember how to continue" said Sunset as she took a few minutes trying to pick a good place to continue. "So I could tell you what happened every single day with my family, but that would take a number of days, so i'l just tell you the other important things." said Sunset with Fluttershy nodding in agreement. "Alright well after that first day with my new family, the next few months were fine I guess, Jade was continuing to have an attitude towards me which didn't help when our parents wanted us to do things together. Ty was what you would expect a big brother to be like, he didn't really like hanging around us girls a whole lot, but when we were around each other it was pleasant..." Sunset stopped for a moment as then a smile appeared on her face. "Sunset?..are you okay?" asked Fluttershy curiously when she saw the smile. Sunset looked back at Fluttershy "Yes i'm alright I was just thinking about Ruby, she is the one of the greatest well ponies I had ever met. Like I had said earlier Ruby wanted to have a big sister-little sister blond/relationship since Jade had this attitude which stopped her and Ruby from having that sister bond. Then over those months we formed one." Sunset answered. "However one day that bond was really strengthen." said Sunset. "Which was..?" Fluttershy asked. "The day I got me cutie mark." Sunset responded. So that's were Sunset continued, Malachite and Rose had asked Sunset and Ruby to get some fruits and vegetables among other things from the sales ponies. While the two had a found sales pony with fruit, Sunset was looking over list their mom had giving them seeing what was on it, Ruby was starting to get a little antsy. "Sunset how long do we have to stand here?" asked Ruby. "Not much longer i'm trying to make sure I get everything on mom's list before we move to a sales pony who's selling vegetables so just be patient." Sunset responded looking all over the fruit and looking back at the list to make sure the had gotten what they needed. After they had finished the two walked around until they found a sales pony selling the vegetables and Ruby felt that Sunset was taking even longer trying to find the vegetables they needed. It was only just a few minutes, but Ruby thought it felt like an hour, so she decided to walk around and see what else was there. "I'll only walk around for a minute" Ruby thought to herself, so as she walked looking at what was being sold. A sales pony selling cotton candy caught Ruby's attention and as she tried to go back to Sunset, Ruby ran into two female earth ponies, one of them had a dark blue coat, purple eyes, with a purple colored mane and tail, she also had a cutie mark that was a wing of a raven inside a heart. The second pony had a a teal coat, hazel eyes, with a black mane and tail with a Hazel colored heart for a cutie mark and both were the same age as Ty and a little bit smaller than him. "Can you watch were you're going!?" said the Purple pony. "Umm.........I-i'm s-sor-ry." Ruby said nervously. "Oh look Raven she's scared." said the Teal pony. "You're right Hazel, do you think we should let her find her own way back?" said Raven. "It's dangerous for such a little thing to be alone, however she did bump into you which was rude." said Hazel. "I think you should come with us little one." said Raven as the two older ponies pushed Ruby away from the sales ponies and further out of sight. Meanwhile had Sunset finished getting the vegetables "Okay Ruby were done here so let's get moving. Ruby?" said Sunset as she turned around and noticed Ruby was gone, Sunset quickly started to rush around shouting Ruby's name hoping she would hear her. "RUBY! RUBY!, Where are You!?" shouted Sunset as she walked up to every sales pony she could find asking if they had seen her sister. After 5 minutes Sunset finally found Ruby, but saw Raven and Hazel who were taunting and pushing Ruby around like she was a toy. "You see why now it's rude to run into other ponies?, because sometimes those ponies will get mad at you." taunted Raven. "P-ple-ease c-can I leave now?, I need to find my sister." asked Ruby pulling her face off the ground "Hmmm I don't know, what do you think Raven?" asked Hazel. "HEY!!!" Sunset shouted at them, rushing over to her sister "Leave my sister Alone!!!" she shouted again. Raven and Hazel looked back at each other and laughed, making Sunset more angry than she was. "What are you going to do if we don't?" Raven asked walking over pushing Sunset onto the ground, causing the two earth ponies to laugh once again. Sunset began to get furious and suddenly her horn lit up. "THIS!!!!!" Sunset yelled and then blasted the two earth ponies with magic knocking them into a wall "Now Leave Me And My Sister Alone, I Will Not say it again." Sunset finished which caused Raven and Hazel to quickly run away. Before Sunset could say anything Ruby quickly pulled her into a hug. "I'm so sorry Sunset for walking away from you, and causing all of this to happen, please don't be angry with me please." cried Ruby. "Ruby, i'm not mad at you." sighed Sunset. "You're not?" Ruby asked looking up at Sunset releasing the hug on her sister. "No what happened today was both our faults, you for walking off and me for not paying attention." Sunset answered wiping the tears from Ruby's eyes which made Ruby smile "I love you." said Ruby pulling sunset into another hug. "I love you too, forever and always." Sunset responded. However neither one of them noticed that Sunset had gotten her cutie mark.
