C1: Phone Call
Sunset was just looking through her wardrobe, when she heard the shower being turned on. The girl quickly decided on some clean pajamas, before closing the cabinet and going for the bathroom. Inside she found Twilight’s silhouette behind the curtains just staring up at the shower head.
“Damn, looks hot. Actually that gives me some ideas-”
“Don’t even finish that sentence.”
“Twilight, I’ll hang up your wet clothes in the kitchen. Your fresh ones are here on the toilette. I guess you’ll be staying here, right?”
“...Yes.” Again, Twilight’s voice was somewhat monotone.
“I swear, that voice gives me the chills. Reminds me of that little kid from the horror movie.”
“Whatever has happened has affected her very deeply. We better keep a close eye on her and maybe even escort her home after school.”
“Okay. If you need anything, just call. Feel free to use my sham-”
Sunset was interrupted by her cell phone ringing angrily on the table in the living room.
“Whoops, there goes my phone. Take as much time as you need.”
“I know she’s our girlfriend, but you do remember that we’re on a very tight budget, right?”
“I don’t care about the budget right now.” Sunset whispered back harshly, quickly walking through her living space.
“I wonder if it’s Twilight’s parents.”
“Only one way to find out.” She pushed the green button. “Hello? Sunset Shimmer speaking.”
“Sunset, darling. So glad I could reach you.”
“Hey Rares. Something the matter?”
Rarity hesitated for a moment.
“Yes, indeed. It’s...I don’t know how to put this gently...it involves Twilight.”
“Twilight?” Sunset’s other selves spoke at the same time, though Rarity of course couldn’t hear them. “Do you mean the princess by any chance?”
“N-no, darling. It’s about our Twilight, right here on this world.”
Should have figured. Sunset thought to herself.
“You think it’s related?”
“It has to be. The only question is what exactly is related to Twilight appearing at our doorstep like this.”
“Actually Rarity” Sunset lowered her voice, knowing how thin the walls in her apartment were. “Twilight is here with me.”
“She is?! Thank goodness.” The fashionesta let out an audible sigh of relief on the other end, caused the unicorn to worry even more than she already was. What exactly had transpired to get Rarity this tense. “Not to sound pessimistic, but I was expecting the worst.”
“The worst?” Sunset echoed. “Look Rares, Twilight’s in the shower right now, she got pretty soaked up by the storm outside. The thing is, she’s been beside herself. We barely talked, though that’s more my fault, as I didn’t want for her to catch a cold. But still...she’s been behaving...odd to say the least. Could you please tell me what’s going on?”
There was a little pause on the other end, before Rarity spoke up again. “Well, a couple of minutes ago Twilight’s parents called in. Apparently Twilight ran away from home.”
“She what?!” Sunset exclaimed, not being able to control her volume.
“Tone down the volume, girl! She’ll hear you!” Sundown hissed.
“Why?” Sunset spoke in her hushed voice again.
“I-I don’t know, darling. I asked them of course, after having to calm down the poor mother and reassure her that we would do our best to find her, but she didn’t say a thing. She just said to call her, once I found something and hung up.”
“Okay…”
“I can only guess something must have happened between Twilight and her mother.”
“Maybe...could be all a misunderstanding though.” The fiery haired girl mused.
“Unlikely.”
“Did her mom call the police?”
“Darling, before you can file a missing person report, the person needs to be missing for 24 hours.”
“Huh, didn’t know that. Hey! I just remembered, why didn’t Twilight’s mom call my place? If she has your number, I’m pretty sure Twilight has given her family my number as well.”
“Maybe she is trying to reach you now?”
“I would hear that. Oh, sounds like Twilight is done with the shower. I’m gonna ask her gently what’s up. Can you do me a favor and call Twilight’s home? I don’t have their number, sadly.”
“Certainly. What are friends for? I will tell them that Twilight is with you and healthy.”
“Thanks, but please, if they ask after my address, say that you don’t know. If Twilight really ran away from home then there has to be a reason. Most possibly a fight.”
“Hey, that’s what I wanted to say!”
“She can’t hear you.”
“This life seriously sucks…”
“Okay. I understand. But I can already tell you, they won’t be too happy about this. And I really hate worrying them more than necessary.”
“Me too, but my gut tells me it’s better this way, for now.”
“I hope your gut has the right feeling. I will call Twilight’s home now. Goodnight.”
“‘Night, Rarity.”
Sunset hung up her phone and placed it back on the table. She fell back onto the couch and watched her reflection on the turned off television.
“So what do you think?” she asked her reflection. It immediately changed into two, one being the devil Sundown, the other being the angel Daydream.
“The most likely thing that happened is that she got into a nasty fight with her parents and then came running to us.” Sundown commented with a wave of her hand.
“Yes, I agree.” Daydream put her hand under her chin. “What worries me, is that she never mentioned it to us that she was having a hard time with her family. In fact quite the opposite.”
“Now that you mention it” Sundown crossed her arms, frowning “wasn’t she kind of gushing over her brother, like he was the most awesomest brother in the world, how he would read her stories, play with her and support her and all that crap? Although, considering what Twi went through at Crystal Prep, he did a rather poor job.”
“Maybe she was referring to the past? Like when Twilight was just a child.” Daydream suggested.
“Twilight never mentioned her parents.” Sunset muttered, looking to the side. “But then again, that goes for both of us. Kind of a silent agreement we have.”
“We should remember that we have only been dating her for a couple of weeks. I wouldn’t call our relationship with her that deep as of now. Speaking from a neutral standpoint of course.”
“And what’s that supposed to mean?”
“Twilight surely hasn’t told us everything about her. Maybe she has a strained relationship with her parents, but doesn’t want us to know, in order to not worry for her.”
“That would be kinda ironic in it’s own way.” Sunset took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. She heard the door to her bathroom being unlocked, causing her to snap her head around.
“Welp, time to be a good girlfriend.”

Oh, Twilight ran from home from her parents? Interesting...
Maybe they found out she's dating another girl and didn't approve? Or maybe she came out to them and they didn't have a reaction which scared Twilight to go running away? Still, can't wait to see more!
Uh , interesting , Twilight had a fight with her parents. It will be due to Sunset? maybe her change of school? next chapter soon please
Loving this so far can't wait for more, really wanted a sequel to that "Internal Argument" story and now there is one
i want to guess her parents are upset about her dating sunset but that feels so cliche which leads me to belive its a red herring
edit: so my guess is she was talking to midnight sparkle in the mirror and her parents think she is crazy and that lead to the fight
Nope!
You ring the police ASAP, especially with children and teen runaways. There is no such thing as a 'missing for a day' clause.
No the less, the first story interested me and this one continues to have my interest.
Mostly because This is the first time I've seen Sunset's inner demon presented as anything but a rampaging monster.
And the plot thickens. Can't wait for the next one.

7466072 Really? Fuck you TV shows.
This has certainly captured my interest, but I feel as if the story has not done enough yet for me to issue a favorite or a like. I'll be tracking this for now instead.
another story that got it hooks in me,
Hello, awesome SunLight!
Yeah, this fic is awesome.
I... agree with you guys this time.
7473698 . . . Really?
7474049 Yeah, dude!
Yep, awesome.
SunLight forever bro!
I'm drawn to this like a moth is to light
Great story I'm glad you write this story it's very interesting to read keep up a good work update more on this story it has my full attention now keep up the good work.
I don't think this is correct. Generally, if someone has gone missing, time is of the essence. Police guidelines for someone who has actually gone missing generally insist on using common sense if someone has gone missing, rather than waiting a full 24 hours.
I like this story.

Meh I'm fine with it. It's believable that Rarity would be just as misinformed as most people are.
There needs to be more split personality fics. Anyone know any good ones? Aside from "Pinkie Personalities".
7476495 I tend to be more Princess Twilight for SunLight shipping. However, I'm at a loss what we'd call this particular ship, since we have SciTwi/Midnight in a relationship with Sunset/Daydream/Sundown. Imagine what's going to happen if they start manifesting ad-hoc all on the same couch?
This is good. Please continue. I really want to see where this goes. Please don't let this story die.
Deeeeeed
More please
CrossRedstone, come back to your babies!
