Welcome Back
"Are you sure that you're ready for this?" Fluttershy asked, hand in hand with Sunrise as the pair approached the school. Celestia had to leave early to make sure she could inform the teachers of Sunrise's change in status and reluctantly left the girl to make her own way to school. Thankfully Fluttershy had come by, driven by her cousin, and offered to go with Sunrise. They were dropped a couple blocks away since Flutttershy's cousin was already running late and couldn't afford to go out of his way to go all the way to the school.
"No...not really, but I doubt I ever will be. If I don't do this now it will only get harder." Sunrise admitted, smiling at the reassuring squeeze Fluttershy gave her hand. "Are you? You said that you haven't talked to Rainbow since Saturday at the mall."
"I'm still mad at her. I don't care if it was you or someone else, what she said was way out of line." Fluttershy said, but the anger in her eyes showed that she was being protective of Sunrise. It felt...good, even if it did hurt her ego a little. She was never one who needed protection, but knowing that this girl beside her was willing to offer it filled Sunrise with a happy warm feeling. "Anyways, let's not worry about that right now. Let's just enjoy the last few moments together since we won't see each other again until lunch."
"At least we have chem together after lunch." Sunrise said, a thought occurring to her. "You know, I don't have a lab partner and since you said Gilda was suspended Thursday...if you want to anyways..."
"I'd love to!" Fluttershy chirped happily, excitement etched on her face. It was kind of nice seeing the girl smile like this, much better than seeing her in fear and flinching away.
"Fluttershy!" Applejack called out from across the courtyard, Rarity and herself heading over to them with a look of worry, eyes full of accusation looking towards Sunrise.
"Darling, can we please talk to you." Rarity asked, seeming a little worried as she glanced at the pair's interlocked fingers.
"Alone if it's alright with yall, sugarcube." Applejack said, her voice a little stern as she looked expectantly as Sunrise.
"Go ahead, they're your friends. I'll see you later." Sunrise said, giving what she hoped was an encouraging smile.
"I'm not sure...I don't want to leave you alone until it's time for classes." Fluttershy whispered back making Sunrise smile at the sentiment. She wanted Fluttershy to spend some time with the others though, they may not liked her but they were Fluttershy's friends.
"I'll be fine, I wanted to stop by mo...Principal Celestia's office for a few minutes anyways." Sunrise said, debating if she should. They still haven't talked about what they were yet, but something inside pushed her into it anyways. With a blush she quickly leaned forward and kissed Fluttershy's cheek before running off leaving two confused girls and a shocked and very happy girl with them.
"Wh-Whaaaaa?" Rarity asked melodramatically, swooning a bit as Applejack glared at the shy girl.
"Don't tell me you are...seeing that girl, sugarcube. Are you out of your cotton pickin' mind?" Applejack demanded as she waved her hand in the direction of the retreating girl.
"No...b-but what if I were? What if I wanted to?" Fluttershy asked, shrinking back into her hair a little.
"Sugarcube, she bullied and tormented yall for years. I want yall to be happy, but how do yall know she won't just be another snake in the grass and bite yall in the backside when you turn around?" Applejack asked. "Sunset is trouble sugarcube."
"Sunrise." Fluttershy corrected her, getting a little upset at them for talking that way about her new friend.
"What was that darling?" Rarity asked, finally getting over her shock to round on Fluttershy as well. Neither of them was mad at Fluttershy, but they didn't trust Sunset that much and didn't trust the girl at all when it came to Fluttershy.
"I said her name is Sunrise. Sunset...Sunset is dead. Sunrise is a different girl than we all knew...a better person." Fluttershy explained, refusing to listen to any badmouthing of the girl she cared for.
"Is that why you chose her over Rainbow...a girl that you have been friends with since you two were little?" Rarity asked, a little anger flashing in her eyes. "Darling...you slapped Rainbow, that wasn't normal! That girl must have done something to you."
"Instead of jumping to conclusions, why not ask me why I slapped her? I would have slapped her no matter who it was over after the things she said! She called Sunrise things no person should ever call another person. And it was right after Sunrise saved me from Gilda! So don't you dare sit there and act like Rainbow was the victim! I love Rainbow, she's one of my best friends, but until she's ready to apologize not only to me, but to Sunrise also, I don't want anything to do with her!" Fluttershy said, her voice taking on an edge that they barely ever heard in her voice before. The same edge that always filled it when Fluttershy was pushed too far and ended up using the 'stare' on the person responsible for pushing so much.
"Darling...maybe it was a misunderstanding." Rarity suggested.
"What did Rainbow say that worked yall up so much then, sugarcube?" Applejack asked, worried now that maybe Rainbow did something stupid. The athletic girl was always a little brash and it wasn't a stretch that she may have done something stupid when not really meaning to.
"I refuse to repeat what she said, I never even want to hear it again." Fluttershy said, her eyes watering a little as they filled with rage. "I never, ever thought she would even be capable of saying such things."
"That bad, huh?" Rarity asked, both girls’ shoulders slumping as they realized that Rainbow Dash must have messed up really badly for Fluttershy to actually slap the girl.
"Worse...either she apologizes or I don't think I can be friends with her anymore. I really don't want it to come to that, but I can't be friends with someone who...who would..." Fluttershy said, fighting back tears as Rarity pulled her into a hug.
~~~
"Why did she come back?"
"Stupid she-demon."
"Doesn't belong here."
Just a few of the things that reached Sunrise's ears as she walked through the halls of Canterlot High. It was kind of funny that just over a week ago these students would be afraid to even think these things, yet now they seemed to be the popular opinion. She wouldn't have thought twice about putting an end to it either no matter whom it hurt. Now she felt she deserved it, every bit of it, now that she knew what she had done to them all.
She always knew though, she just didn't care before. Darkness was holding back the light inside of her, making her do things she would never do.
"I hope you're happy." Someone snarled shoving Sunrise into a locker making her gasp out in pain as the lock jabbed her in the back. "She won't even take my calls!"
"Maybe if you actually listened to her more." Sunrise gasped out, rubbing the sore spot as Rainbow Dash glared at her.
"I do listen, problem is someone brainwashed her into not even talking to me!" Rainbow snarled out, her eyes so full of anger it scared Sunrise a little. "She's my best friend and...and...she won't even talk to me!"
"I didn't brainwash her...I'm also not the one who apparently thought it would be a good idea to accuse someone she apparently likes of...whatever it was." Sunrise said, pushing Rainbow out of her personal space though she felt sorry for the distraught girl. She could understand Rainbow Dash's position, their group of friends just made up and the rainbow haired girl was worried that it may have been falling apart all over again.
"What? All I told her was the truth! Nobody even wants you here, so why don't you go crawl in a corner and die!" Rainbow Dash snarled, her eyes full of anger though there was a bit of regret in them after she finished which softened the blow a little. It still hurt Sunrise, even if a few other students around gasped in shock at it.
"Yeah, she deserves to pay for what she did, but...that was a little much."
"Can you believe Dash would say something like that?"
"Do you think she's becoming a new Sunset?"
Rainbow Dash couldn't take it and spun around and stomped off down the hallway away from the gathered crowd who watched the confrontation. Sunrise couldn't take the eyes any longer and hurried away also, heading straight for the Principal's office.
"Good morning, Sunse...Sunrise." Mrs. Appleby said, giving the teen a little smile from her desk inside the receptionist area. There were several desks actually though only the one was occupied at the moment. There were two doors behind her desk, one leading to Celestia's office and the other to Luna's.
"Good morning, Mrs. Appleby, may I go in and see my mo...Principal Celestia?" Sunrise asked, a little nervous that the woman would say no. Then again the woman was always kind, even to her before the Fall Formal.
"Of course sweetie...and...congratulations. I'm also glad that you are back and I hope things work out for you." Mrs. Appleby said with a smile as Sunrise moved around the desk to head into the office, pausing for a moment.
"Thank you, Mrs. Appleby." Sunrise said before pushing the door open only to nearly have a heart attack when a pink blur crashed into her with a cry of...
"SURPRISE!" Pinkie Pie shouted, making the two women standing there laugh. Mrs. Appleby just behind her and Celestia in her office where a small cake sat on the desk and a banner hung on her wall behind her.
"I really wanted to throw a huge welcome back party for you, but...well Principal Celestia convinced me it might be better this way for now. So do you like it? Huh? Do you? Do you?" Pinkie asked sitting atop Sunrise and leaning down into her face.
"Can't...breath..." Sunrise gasped out making Pinkie jump off of Sunrise and pulling the girl up with her.
"Oh my gosh, I am SO sorry!" Pinkie cried out, though Sunrise hugged the girl.
"Thank you Pinkie, every one." Sunrise said through a watery smile.

He does seem to have an issue with repeated paragraphs, doesn't he? I don't know if it's errors in the way the chapters upload to fimfiction (assuming he's migrating chapters from Google Docs), but an editor (or a better one) would serve him well.
I started watching Kim Possible this week-end because of your fic :3 (I was already planning to, because of how awesome Shego seemed, but I only really start yesterday ^^)
And it's really great! Shego's so cool <3
5516487 It may happen yet.
Glad you liked how Armor is comfortable thinking of Celestia as family to. I do love 7 Days, I don't think I've read all of it, I usually did most of my reading on my tablet which I don't have anymore since I gave it away. I'll be able to leave lots more reviews as I won't forget to go back now to do it when I get on the computer. (I feel so bad when I forget to go back and review a story that I loved after reading on the tab.) I can see Sunset with Fluttershy so easily, though it's more my sister's fault. And yeah, Celestia is filthy rich since she's actually old noble blood. 
5529205 I hope you enjoyed the update
5530569 lol Thanks
5534319 I posted and will post another one as soon as possible.
5546873 I updated lol
5571367 I have no idea why, but it is so hard to get that song out of my head
5571409 Sorry I'll fix that, thank you.
5571593 lol yeah, KiGo is one of my favorite non-mlp pairings.
5571636 Nope, Shego is the best choice I could come up with at the time for their doctor since she was a former villian. (And nothing to do with watching KP as I wrote the chapter...really...)
5571649 Luna would most likely kick her human counterpart's but for sure. And sorry you didn't like what happened to the human counter-part, but glad that you are goig to keep reading
5572157 I have no idea what happened as it wasn't like that in the original, but going to fix, thanks.
5574481 Hope that's in a good way, if not sorry lol
5574710 wow a lot of ponies thought it was Chryssi lol, sorry if anyone really really wanted that. I hope Shego is just as good though
5576187 lol too true
5576361 Glad you liked the show, Shego is one of the best vuillians in the history of villiandom, and yet I can't help loving stories where she's actually good and paired with Kim...go figure. Hope you enjoy the story
I'm not really an expert on it, but isn't ya'll a plural thing? Also I think AJ used it a few time too many. (4 times in one sentence seems like alot to me.)
The many yall's aside, I did enjoy how rightfully wary Applejack and Rarity were about Sunset doing something to Fluttershy after they saw them holding hands.
I do think it's strange that they originally believed Rainbow over Fluttershy about what happened at the mall (Exaggerating the truth to get people to take her side definitely seems like something Rainbow would do), but I suppose they'd sooner believe Sunset did something to make Flutters slap Rainbow then that Rainbow actually did something so horrible that Flutters actually saw it fit to hit her and chew her out like she actually did.
And come on Rainbow, I think you're taking the whole 'blaming Sunrise for the problems you're having with Fluttershy' thing a little too far. I mean telling her she's worthless and should go die while cold and alone? That's just plain horrible, especially after all she's been through in the last couple weeks. I really hope someone does something about Rainbow before she does something to Sunset even she will regret.
Nice little chapter, can't wait to see the rest of Sunset's first day back at school.

Or she hears through the grapevine that Sunrise has contemplated suicide, and remembers telling her to go die, and begins a desperate attempt to rescue Sunset from herself because she'd feel really really guilty if she actually did so...
... only to find out that Sunrise has been attending therapy with Fluttershy, and is not currently in danger of offing herself, thanks to Fluttershy.
5578271 Yeah, I guess I could have worded that better, but I did mean that someone should sit Rainbow down and try to get her to realize how awful she's being to Sunset. Hopefully neither Rainbow or Sunset will get hurt in the process, but considering how thick-headed and easily aggravated Rainbow can be, I wouldn't put it past her to take a swing at Sunset at some point.
"SURPRISE!" Pinkie Pie shouted, making the two women standing there laugh. Mrs. Appleby just behind her and Celestia in her office where a small cake sat on the desk and a banner hung on her wall behind her.
"I really wanted to throw a huge welcome back party for you, but...well Principal Celestia convinced me it might be better this way for now. So do you like it? Huh? Do you? Do you?" Pinkie asked sitting atop Sunrise and leaning down into her face.
"Can't...breath..." Sunrise gasped out making Pinkie jump off of Sunrise and pulling the girl up with her.
"Oh my gosh, I am SO sorry!" Pinkie cried out, though Sunrise hugged the girl.
"Thank you Pinkie, every one." Sunrise said through a watery smile.
This was written twice btw.
5576879 Thank you so much, I went back and fixed the typos. Glad you liked KP and Shego being in the story even if it was a bit weird to do so, but figured a good villian turned good would make a great person to help Sunrise while also getting involved in burning down the club. Shego was the best choice I could come up with...and maybe I was watching KP when I was writing the chapter lol. And thanks, Sunrise misses her name, but at the same time welcomes the clean slate the new name offers her.
5577034 I'm not too sure, honestly I have a lot of trouble writing Applejack. I can't write any accents for some reason because it always ends up being so hard to do. They are worried about Sunrise puling something, and I have to admit they do have some cause for it, but Fluttershy can see the good in Sunrise and soon everybody will be able to see it to. They are a little unsure of what to think about Fluttershy slapping Rainbow, but they don't really trust Sunrise yet so kind of believe Rainbow more than Sunrise, even when it's someone else sticking up for her such as Fluttershy until they actually talked to her in person. The next chapter will have some Rainbow in it and explain a little of what's going on in her mind about why she's acting the way she is. She said a lot worse about Sunrise though than that, but I really don't want to include it in the story. She said it in the heat of the moment and while she doesn't really like Sunrise, she did regret some of what she said after saying it...not that she exactly wants to admit it openly just yet.
5578271 Rainbow will be in the next chapter some and some explanations over her actions will be explained. She will feel some regret soon, and in a few chapters there will be a lot of regret...from everybody over how they treated her.
5578530 I'm honestly debating her taking a swing at Sunrise, but I might not take it that far with her. She will be feeling really bad over what happened to Sunrise in a few chapters though
5624157 Thank you I fixed it

I imagine writing dialogue spoken in an accent you don't actually speak in would be rather difficult.
That would probably be for the best, I personally enjoy speculating on what Rainbow told Fluttershy at the mall rather then actually knowing what she said. Because whatever horrible thing Rainbow said about Sunrise, it's probably nowhere near as bad as what I think she said.(I tend to jump to worst case scenario with stuff like that)
As for this, I imagine Sunrise would willingly let Rainbow hit her in an attempt to make her feel better about what happened with Fluttershy,(that and Sunrise probably feels like she deserves it after all she's done to the school) but after winding up for her punch, Rainbow would stop after seeing Sunrise was actually standing still with her eyes closed, waiting for the punch to connect. She'd be stunned at the lengths Sunrise is willing to go in order to fix the mess Rainbow caused in the first place, at which point she'd then apologize for how horrible she's been treating her since the Fall Formal.
Sorry for the tangent I went on there, I guess I got a little caught up in my train of thought.

Great chapter, and glad to see applejack and Rarity are capable of being reasoned with
, while rainbow says words that have lead people to commit SUICIDE 
but at least she showed some regret for what she said, can't wait for your next chapter already
Rainbow.....
RAINBOW MIDDLE-NAME DASH!!!
I AOUTA...
*walks away*

In other words..., Rainbow gonna die.
Erm... I hope somebody can explain why RD is behaving so out of character? I get she's impulsive, and a little annoyed at Sunset (which given the last three years, is understandable) but telling somebody to go die? That's OOC.
Lightning Dust would have worked better, IMO.
5577034
Plus not even getting fluttershy side in the fight until they decide to try to convince her to stay away from sunset. Considering twilight asked them to look after her and they could have spoken up about not wanting to and by saying nothing it told twilight she could trust them with this.
