Friends? > by GRYFFINDOR123456 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > 1a: Sunset Shimmer- after anon-a-miss > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the events of Anon-a-miss, Sunset Shimmer would burst into tears, have nightmares and have strange outbursts. Well, she had done all things previously when she did that awful thing at the Fall Formal, but this time, it was worse. Sunset didn't want to tell anyone. Until, Fluttershy came up to her. This is what happened: Fluttershy had noticed Sunset Shimmer had been behaving strangely since the events of Anon-a-miss. Although the girls knew it was Sweetie Belle, Applebloom and Scootaloo, Rainbow Dash and the others still mistrusted Sunset for her actions at the Formal. Everyone, except Fluttershy. It was after school and Fluttershy heard a sound of sobbing from the girls' toilets. Fluttershy gently pushed the door open. At the mirror was a girl. Red-gold hair, cyan eyes. Sunset Shimmer. Fluttershy laid a gentle hand on Sunset's shoulder. Sunset turned, her eyes puffy and red from the crying. "What do you want, Fluttershy?" she asked hoarsely. "Are you okay?" asked Fluttershy. "I heard you crying and I thought you needed some comfort. It looks like you need to get something off your chest. Sunset, please, tell me. I'm your friend." "I can't." sniffed Sunset. "I can't, Fluttershy. I wish I could but you wouldn't understand." "Hmm." said Fluttershy. "Why don't you talk to a counsellor? They are impartial and always listen to you. When I was suffering from anxiety, I went to the school counsellor(who happened to be my mom) and she listened. Maybe I can arrange a meeting with her." "Thank you, Flutters," said Sunset, still sniffling. > 1b: Hoops and Rainbow Dash > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow Dash was on a summer course, overnight. There was no room for her in the dorm(or more like the other kids chucked her out) and so she had to move in with Hoops. Well, it was a hot summer's day and Hoops had gone to the toilet. Hoops made his way back to bed, ending up lying directly on top of Rainbow Dash. Well, at that time, Rainbow Dash wasn't on her ladies days, but she was due soon. About a week later, Rainbow realised she had missed that month and checked for a pregnancy test. It was positive. Rainbow sighed, as she pieced together what had happened. Hoops must have accidently raped her. Rainbow Dash did not know what to do, so she decided to speak to a counsellor. > Counselling > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunset Shimmer walked into the counselling office, her brown satchel slung over her right shoulder. "Ah, Sunset Shimmer, isn't it?" said the lady. "I'm Mrs Shy. Fluttershy's mother. I'm also the school counseller. Now, we must wait for the other girl who has an appointment with me very soon. Fluttershy tells me you have something on your mind?" "Yes," said Sunset honestly. "Since the Fall Formal, I've had nightmares about killing my new friends. I've had strange outbursts and burst into tears. After the Battle of the Bands, I thought it had stopped. Until Anon-a-miss came along. Framed me. And now it's started again, except the 2 events sometimes mingle. I've been struggling sleeping, to the point of nearly committing suicide. I've been diagnosed with PTSD after the Formal. Could you give me some advice to may be be less distant from my friends? They don't trust me and Rainbow still thinks I could go back to my old ways." "Well, actually, Rainbow Dash is my other candidate. She should be here- ah, Rainbow Dash. Take a seat. So, Sunset Shimmer tells me you and some of the girls don't trust her and thinks she could go back to her old ways. Why?" "Well," said Rainbow Dash. "Sunset nearly got me expelled. If it wasn't for Soarin', I'd have been gone." "But, Rainbow, I've changed!" "That son of a bitch got what she deserved at the Formal. I wanted to forgive you, Sunset. I really did. But I couldn't." "Thank you, Rainbow Dash," said Mrs Shy. "So, tell me, Rainbow. What's on your mind?" "Last week of the summer holidays, Hoops raped me by accident. I didn't want to abort my baby, but I told my parents and they think that I should. My dad told me to see you and see if you have any advice. I want to get through my exams. I do. Really. " "Listen, Rainbow. I'd like you to go outside the office for a few minutes while I deal with Sunset. Then you will both swap places." "Well, Sunset. My advice is to talk to Rainbow Dash afterwards and spend some time with her. I think every week you both should come but I'd like both of you to tell each other what is on your minds. Now, will you please step outside the office and bring in Rainbow Dash?" "Rainbow Dash, as I told Sunset, you should spend time with Sunset and talk. Every week, both of you must come and I'd like you to tell Sunset what is on your mind. Please go out and you and Sunset maybe can start now." > the talk > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sunset! Wait!" called Rainbow Dash. "I'm sorry for what I said earlier. And I now believe you. But what do you think?" Sunset sighed. "I'm glad, Rainbow Dash. And I think you should not abort it. Look, I'm sorry too. I was a bitch. Do you wanna come over to mine and we can talk properly? Maybe at 6pm?" "Yeah!" cried Rainbow Dash. "See ya then!" Rainbow Dash smiled. Sunset Shimmer laid the table for 2. "Hey, Rainbow!" said Sunset. "I'm ordering chinese. What do you like?" "Oh, you know chow mein, yeah, anything. Up to you, really, Sunset." "Oh!" cried Sunset. "I'll just order anything then! So, you wanna go first?" "Yeah, that bastard Hoops Dunkington raped me by accident(so he claims). And now I'm stuck with this little one. You?" "Well, actually, since the formal, I've had nightmares about killing you guys. I've had outbursts and I've cried. I've had nightmares about Equestria too. But I couldn't bring myself to talk about it." “I see,” said Rainbow Dash. > friends? Or is it more? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weeks passed, months too. Rainbow and Sunset had started to reconcile, become friends, even to the point of dating. But Rainbow was in her first week of labour. She was struggling, school work especially. After school, Sunset would take her work with her and sit with Rainbow Dash for hours. Sunset smiled, finally feeling she had a place. As time passed, the other EGs came to visit. But when Rainbow was in her final week of labour, she wanted Sunset. It was June 28th and Rainbow Dash was giving a final push. A beautiful daughter, with rainbow hair and grey eyes. "Aww," said Sunset. "Our little darling. Um, I mean yours. You wanna call it..." "I was thinking High Flyer," said Rainbow Dash. "She'll go far." Exams were coming up for the EGs. Rainbow carried her baby daughter in a pram around the school, Sunset with her. The girls met up in the music room for their last CHS meeting. Rainbow had left High Flyer outside the room. "Fuck." murmured Rainbow Dash. "I haven't revised for our Chemistry exam yet." “THEN GET REVISING!” yelled Applejack > UNIversity > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The final year at Uni was tough for Rainbow Dash. Whilst she and Sunset had agreed to marry, they were worried about the reaction of their friends. The girls all went their separate paths. Sunset and Twilight worked at Canterlot High(as in Sunset was Principal, Twilight was Vice), while Rainbow Dash was working as a footballer. And every day, Sunset would pick up their daughter from Canterlot Early Years School. As High Flyer reached age 7, she was an expert football player. Rainbow Dash was proud of her daughter and so was Sunset. Every month, the Rainbooms would come together. And they'd record an album every month and perform together. Rainbow Dash grinned. Next week, they would be recording their new song, all grown up Sunset grinned from ear to ear. “Well, Rainbow?” she asked pleasantly. “How was today?”
