Sunset Shimmer - Six Friends One Heart

45 - Rehabilitation - Twilight Sparkle

Twilight Sparkle

Twilight hung up the phone. “Well, that was awkward…” she mused.

Shining, her BBBFF (Big Brother Best Friend Forever!) had called, and told her she was invited over to Cadence’s Aunts' house to meet their foster daughter, Sunset.

Sunset Shimmer, the girl that had been attacked in the gym recently at Canterlot High School. Twilight groaned and face palmed.

“Okay, that’s a no… I can’t think like that! I would be horrified to be known as ‘the girl attacked in the gym’! Sunset. Sunset Shimmer. She’s practically my cousin. Cousin Sunset.”

Visions of girls in cowboy hats, shorts, boots, and flannel halter tops danced in her head.

“Okay, just… no. Cousin Sunset is right out.” She shook her head to clear the bizarre imagery. “Just Sunset. Sunset Shimmer.” She took a deep breath. “Maybe she would like to be friends. Shinny said she was very friendly. Celestia is always telling me to make friends… Okay. Friends. We could be friends, right?”

Twilight took several breaths. In slowly, out slowly, arms extended then pulled back to her chest with each breath. Calm. Okay. “Friends. I can do ‘friends’.

Mind made up, she dialed her new friend.

This version of Twighlight feels different from the show but I can't put my finger on way. Maybe too scatterbrained? But it's okay as long as this version is consistent unless she has a reason to change. The version of her in Friendship Games was very mousy, kind of like Fluttershy. At the time her whole focus was on her education to the exlusion of most else except a small handful like family, Cadence, and Spike.

While this isn't her first appearance in this story, it is the first chapter she the MC.

She does seem to get flustered with random thoughts. Notably over a certain (future) friend.

I know a lotta people who would pay cash money for a pic of Sunset Shimmer in AJ's clothes.
