Sunset and Moondancer.

>You come home to find Moondancer on your couch.
>She's skimpily dressed and seated in a provocative manner.
>Giving you bedroom eyes she shows off her bare butt to you as she crosses her legs.
>"Sunset doesn't have to know Anon"
>"It will just be our little secret"
>Your eyes look away, but you're still just human.
>Moondancer crawls over to where you're standing on all fours.
>Her ass shaking with every movement.
>You're in pure shock.
>Every muscle in your body is frozen.
>Every fiber of your being is screaming at you to run.
>But you can't.
>Moondancer with a sultry look in her eye and cheeks flushed pure crimson grabs a hold of your belt with her hands.
>Just as soon as she begins to loosen it the door swings open.
>"Hey Anon, sorry I'm late you would not believe the day I'm havi-"
>Your body freezes up.
>It feels like icicles are poking your heart.
>Despite your better judgement you build up the courage to turn around
>There stands Sunset Shimmer, your current gf.
>If looks could set you on fire you're pretty sure Sunset could have nuked the whole room.
>Words escape you as the sweat pours down from your face.
>You see Sunset's face shift between shock, and fury.
>Her hands tighten into fists, her brow furrows greatly, and her expression can only be described as "You really fucked up now"
>"S-Suns-Sunset, this is not what it looks like"
>You're pretty sure that just pissed her off more.
>"You have three seconds to explain exactly what the fuck is going on here Anon" Sunset coldly stated.
>"One"
>You felt your heart jump down your chest and into your stomach.
>"Two"
>You close your eyes and prepare for the inevitable
>" Thre-"
>Suddenly, you saw movement from behind you.
>It charged a tackle at Sunset.
>It was fucking Moondancer.
>She manages to tackle Sunset to the floor and pins her arms down.
>Sunset struggles to get the book nerd off her for just a second.
>"You don't deserve him!"
>"Only I can make him happy you...you bacon-haired bitch!"

>You're not sure what scared you more.
>Sunset's blank expression or the fact Moondancer was acting like a complete goddamn psycho for you.
>Moondancer was still on top of Sunset in just a baggy sweater, skirt, and socks.
>Her entire downstairs was exposed and bumping against your carpet and Sunset's pant leg.
>With a roar Sunset flipped Moondancer over onto her back.
>Her glasses thudded against a nearby wall.
>Holding down Moondancer with one arm, and pulling back the other one.
>You see her teeth grit.
>Her eye twitches.
>You recognize that look all too well.
>Her arm is still pulling back as all her anger explodes out on her face.
>Moondancer looks on terrified.
>She struggles as Sunset's grip nearly turns her shoulder to dust.
>Thinking quickly (Or not thinking at all) you do what seems to be rational.
>You run over to Sunset and wrap your arms around her readied fist.
>This draws her fiery gaze to you.
>You hold on for dear life as Sunset's hand scratch your arms trying to free itself.
>"Get the fuck off!"
>Sunset's elbow made contact with your gut as you lurched over, but still hanging on.
>"I said, get the fuck of-"
>With all the strength you can muster you manage to pry Sunset off of Moondancer.
>You know any minute Sunset will get back up so you just yell at Moondancer to run.
>She hobbles towards the door, clutching her shoulder with one hand.
>"Let me go you asshole!"
>Moondancer looked back at you holding back Sunset like she was a rabid animal.
>"Go!" you shout at Moondancer.
>Startled she jogs out of the room and quickly shuts the door behind her.
>Her face was a mess.
>Your attention was drawn back to Sunset who was still clawing her way to an escape.
>"Let...let me go you...you asshole..."
>Sunset's body tenses up as you feel her tremble in your grasp.
>"Sunny..." you whisper to her.
>You look down and see she's buried her face in your arm.
>Her body shakes as you feel her sob.
>"I hate you..." was all you could make out.

>You'd rather her punch you in the face than say that.
>Stunned you try to comfort her.
>Relaxing your grip on her hand and rubbing her back.
>She reacts like you just poured acid on her.
>Her rage flares again as she turns around and steps away from you.
>Don't you fucking touch me!"
>Her eyes shimmered as the light reflected off her face.
>"Sunny...please, this isn't what you think it is"
>You tried to reason with her, but no matter what she just gave you the "I wish you were dead" stare.
>"Quit calling me that!" her chest heaved with shallow breaths.
>"I'm not your Sunny, I"m not your friend, I'm not your anything!" her eyes lowered to the floor.
>She turns around hiding her face from you.
>You swear she sounds more choked up than before as more sobs come out of her mouth.
>"I hope...I hope she was worth it..."
>Her body shuddered as she wrapped her arms around herself.
>It's what she always did when she was hurt but you've never seen it this bad..
>There are so many words you want to say.
>You just want to tell her it was all a big misunderstanding.
>That she's the only girl for you.
>But, no words come at all.
>You stare at Sunset's back while she just stands there.
>Her hair was disheveled from rolling around on the floor.
>Her leather jacket had scuff marks on the sleeves
>She'd probably have to burn her jeans after what Moondancer did to them.
>With the last bit of effort you reach out your arm to Sunset.
>"Please..."
>In response she doesn't even acknowledge you.
>She gathers her things and slams the door shut behind her. Knocking a photo off your wall.
>You hear the sound of glass breaking.
>Shit.
>You head over to the source of the crash.
>Immediately your heart drops.
>Your blood turns into ice.
>Inside the rose gold colored picture frame was your first date with Sunset
>The day she stole her heart away.
>You lower your head as your hand grasps the picture.
>Your eyes shut as your heart aches in pain as you see her smiling face.
>Fuck

>The next day at school you are practically a zombie.
>Just shuffling yourself to each one of your classes.
>Everything goes in one ear and out the other.
>Nothing on the inside and nothing on the outside.
>In the midst of your angsty saddened state you fail to notice the nerdy, purple girl with her face glued in a book.
>It was like a car crash except if one car was just dented and the other was sent flat on her ass.
>This was enough to knock you out of your stupor.
>You look around and see students heading to their classes.
>You hear a soft voice say "Ow"
>That draws your attention to the floor.
>"Shit, that voice sounds like..."
>The color drains from your face
>There, on the floor, was Twilight Sparkle.
>Sunset Shimmer's best friend, and your kinda sorta acquaintance.
>She moved the hair out of her face as she began to speak "S-Sorry!"
>"I was just so caught up in my book."
>"You see, Captain Laserbright was just about to make an awful life changing decisi-" Twilight stopped cold in her tracks.
>Eyes widening as she realized who she was talking to.
>"A...Anonymous?" she stammered out.
>She groaned as she pushed herself up to her feet.
>Wiping the dust off her purple skirt she could not take her eyes off of you.
>You wish you could tell what she was thinking. Her mouth was taut, and eyebrows slightly furrowed, but you could feel a sense of sadness from her.
>She lowered her face to the floor  still wearing a stern expression.
>Sighing she started to walk around you clutching her hands against her chest.
>For some reason this is when you decide to actually do something.
>You grab Twilight's shoulder.
>"Twilight, wait"
>Her body tensed up.
>"Anon, let go of me"
>Any sign of that demure, little book nerd vanished as soon as you grabbed her.
>You guess hanging out with Sunset was rubbing off on her.
>"Twilight, please" you begged.
>"Just...just tell me how she is"
>It was at this point you noticed that Twilight's shoulder was slightly wet.
>Fuck

>Twilight didn't say a word.
>She turned her head and while you prepared for the worst.
>You winced, but nothing came.
>Curious you look to see what Twilight was doing.
>You wish you hadn't.
>Gone was that neutral expression, gone was the sternness in her eyes.
>Instead it was replaced by hurt.
>That's how you would describe it.
>It was like how you felt last night.
>You remove your hand from Twilight's shoulder.
>You swear you see a tear drip down her right cheek.
>She shields her eyes with her arm and starts to back up.
>"I...I have to go" a sob got caught in her throat.
>She ran down the hall and turned the corner to the science wing.
>It was then you realized your hand was still open and outstretched.
>Goddammit.
>Your hands clenched into fists.
>Your breathing became ragged and heavy.
>"Getting all hot and bothered for me?"
>That voice.
>"Get the fuck out" the whirling pit of pissed off ness and sadness in your heart was growing.
>A pale, white arm draped around your shoulder.
>"She wouldn't" you thought
>You were squeezed slightly.
>You thought it must have been a nightmare.
>So you closed your eyes and tried to calm your breathing.
>"Daww, anything for you handsome" you wondered what the hell she meant, but before you could react her mouth locked with yours.
>You went from angry to straight up "What in the fuck" in like ten seconds.
>Her face was mashing against yours.
>Her tongue lapping at your lips like a deranged dog.
>You grab both of her shoulders and pull her away from you.
>"Oh Anon, if you just wanted to look longingly into my eyes you only had to say so" Moondancer teased with an eyebrow flutter.
>You had reached your boiling point and were about ready to lay the law down.
>But a reflection on a nearby locker grabs your attention.
>Orange, red, and yellow.
>"No..." your heart thumped in your ears"
>You turn around and see Sunset.
>Fresh tear streaks on her face.
>Looking like someone twisted a knife straight into her back.

>Fuck.
>You still grasped Moondancer's shoulders with your hands while still staring at Sunset.
>Her eyes were empty.
>Devoid of any emotion
>You saw her lip quiver and her eyelids fall slightly.
>Her head hung low.
>She didn't even have it in her to run.
>She just walked away like it didn't really matter.
>Turning a corner she left your field of view, but her face was burnt into your mind.
>That sting of betrayal etched onto her expression.
>"Oh come on Stud" a voice that made your stomach twist itself up like a balloon animal said.
>"We should go find ourselves a "private" room" she said as she trailed a finger down your chest. with that same sultry look in her eyes.
>You could have bit a bullet in half with how hard your teeth were clenching.
>Each beat of your heart like a war drum.
>Pounding in your ears.
>Your hands gripped Moondancer tighter.
>"Oooh, I knew you liked it rough." every breath out of her mouth turns the vice around your heart even tighter.
>You kept squeezing her shoulders unable to think straight.
>"C'mon babe, let me have i-" she winced in pain.
>You were squeezing the same spot Sunset was last night.
>Her shoulder must still be sore.
>"Hey, not so rough!"
>You didn't hear her
>Anger traveled up your blood stream.
>All you could see was red.
>"Ow, cut it out Anon that's really starting to hurt! she yelped.
>You saw tears well up in her eyes.
>You didn't care.
>"A-Anon please, you're going to really hurt me"
>You didn't care.
>Moondancer looked into your eyes possibly hoping to find some shred of mercy.
>"P-please A-A-non-anon, I-I-I love you" she blubbered out.
>And with that confession you find yourself letting go of Moondancer.
>She falls on the hard tile landing on her butt.
>Her arms to the side of her.
>She brought her knees up to her chest and folded her arms over them.
>You could hear her sob
>"I...I love you...Anon"
>You don't react, you just stand over her. Your mind faraway.
>Moondancer cries.
>Goddammit.

>Moondancer still sat on the floor sobbing her eyes out.
>She rocked back and forth trying to comfort herself or get your attention..
>You had more important things to worry about.
>You turn away from Moondancer and walk a few steps, you stop and tense up.
>A bubble of anger rose through your throat.
>"If you ever, ever do something like that again" you began to threaten.
>Moondancer looked up at you expecting to meet your cold glare, but only saw your back to her.
>The tension was thick enough you could cut it with a knife.
>"Next time I won't stop" and on that note you walked away.
>Where to?
>You don't know.
>All you knew was you had to get away from Moondancer.
>She choked out another "I love you" but you didn't bother to give her a reaction.
>You felt nothing for that girl.
>No anger, sadness, or even pity.
>You just walk away.
>Once you round the corner and no longer hear Moondancer's sickening cries you breathe for what feels like the first time in hours.
>Your head begins to clear.
>You still feel like a sack of shit, but you can't just mope around.
>You refuse to allow Moondancer to ruin one of the best things to ever happen to you.
>But you'll need to come up with a plan.
>You're not really good at those.
>But you remember who was good at those.
>Twilight.
>You don't know how you'll convince her to trust you.
>But you have to be able to do the impossible to get Sunset back.
>"Where would Twilight be this time of the day?" you thought.
>Without a moment's notice you just headed to the library.
>And sure enough there she was.
>Books all around her of various types.
>Notebooks, textbooks, , and e-books you name it.
>You never really got that close to Twi, but you admired her intelligence.
>Just like Sunset except a bit less...streetwise you'd say.
>Excuse me, may I ask why you're just staring at my friend?" came a posh, eloquent voice.
>The hairs on the back of your neck stand on end.
>Your forehead begins to sweat.
>"Fuck, anyone but her."

>You glanced to the side of you.
>The instant you saw that royal purple curl you nearly shat a brick.
>She raised an eyebrow and frowned.
>"Excuse me?"
>Your pupils shrink and body shakes.
>Your eyes dart all around the library trying to figure out a scapegoat.
>That's when you decide to throw caution to the wind.
>You straighten yourself up and confidently say
>"Fuck, anyone but her and they wouldn't be able to pull off such an amazing look." you gave a big fake smile as you looked into Rarity's eyes.
>She crossed her arms and makes a disapproving sound.
>"Mmm-hmm"
>"Flattery can't get you everywhere darling"
>"Now, why are you just standing here watching my friend?"
>Her piercing gaze ignites and you find yourself frozen in place.
>"Fuck it, you already made three girls hate you today what's one more going to hurt? you thought.
>You audibly gulp, and take in a deep breath and let it out.
>"Alright, I'll start from the beginning..."
5 minutes later
>Rarity's expression doesn't really change.
>Her eyes are glued to yours as if trying to see beyond them.
>"So you didn't want to-"
>"Yup" you answered.
>"But she did and now you're-"
>"Yup" you say again
>"And now you're trying to win her back by-"
>"Yes." your eyes drifted to the floor away from Rarity's
>You hoped she would believe you.
>Out of all of Twilight's friends she was almost always the one to give the benefit of doubt, even to a stranger.
>Suddenly you felt something touch your shoulder.
>You look up from the floor and see Rarity wearing a warm expression.
>Her eyes give you comfort and her smile shows she trusts you.
>"I...I believe you Anonymous" she softly spoke.
>You return the smile back to Rarity.
>Finally, something goes your way.
>All of a sudden she drags you in for a back-crushing hug.
>"Don't you worry Anon, your tale of love and romance will not end today!" she shouted into your ear.
>"Not with Rarity on the case!" she beamed.
>The librarian shushed you both.

>Rarity's face blushes as she nervously giggles.
>"Heh-heh, sorry dear" and lets you out of her vicegrip hug
>You brush yourself off and look over at Twilight.
>Despite Rarity's bombastic overreaction to your crisis she still remains stuck in her books.
>Not even a glance away from them.
>Rarity brushes a piece of her hair to the side and calmly struts in front of you.
>" Just let me handle this part Anon" she says as she puts her game face on.
>You watch her take a seat beside Twilight.
>Twilight doesn't even notice until Rarity starts saying something.
>You decide to stay back until some sign from Rarity shows you won't upset Twi again.
>Out of the blue you hear a sound that makes your heart skip a beat.
>The familiar sound of leather bouncing off a tiled floor becomes the only thing you can hear.
>Thinking on your feet you duck behind a nearby reading couch.
>The footsteps grow louder, and louder. Each one makes you grip the fabric of the couch even tighter.
>One more foot step and it stops.
>Curious you sneakily peek out from behind one of the couch's arm rest towards the main library entrance.
>Yellow, orange, and red.
>Your heart skipped another beat.
>You saw a frown you were all too familiar with seening.
>It was Sunset but you saw she was focused on the table Rarity and Twilight were at.
>Before you knew it you saw the corners of her mouth go upward slightly.
>She was finally smiling.
>You saw her let out a big sigh and as quick as she appeared she turned around and walked away.
>You swear you saw a shadow follow her from where you were hiding, but you brushed it off you had bigger fish to fry.
>Soon you'll make her smile again.
>And things will get better.
>Right?

>You shake your head and push any negative thoughts to the back.
>"Focus on Sunset" you told yourself.
>Looking over to the table you catch sight of Rarity waving both her hands at you.
>You guess that's the signal to come over.
>Nervously you approach the table and take the seat over by Rarity just to be safe.
>As you get seated you hear Rarity ask
>"Darling, why were you behind that chair?"
>For some reason you didn't want to say you saw Sunset.
>"I-It was uhh...Moondancer!" you think on the spot.
>Rarity and Twilight exchange a nervous look.
>"Y-Yeah, I heard her coming and I, uhh" your brain stalls..
>"Hid behind a chair?" finished Rarity.
>"Yes!"
>"That!" your big fake smile comes back in full force.
>"Why did you lie you dumbass?" you berated yourself.
>Rarity blinks her eyes a few times confused.
>"Ooooooookay Anon, uhh anyway" Rarity changed the subject.
>"I told Twilight here everything you told me, and I have good news!" she beamed.
>"She believes you now too!" Anon beamed with her, but he slowly connected the rest of Rarity's sentence.
>"What's the bad news?" you felt your spirits die down a little.
>Rarity waves her hands back and forth in front of herself as if to calm you.
>"Nonono, not so much bad news, but rather...your end of the bargain" her voice becomes shrill and high pitched towards the end.
>You wondered what this crazy dress obsessed psycho had in store for you.
>You remember Sunset's smile from earlier.
>Whatever she agreed for you to do was going to be worth it.
>"I...I just need to hear something from you Anon" Twilight glumly said with her eyes locked on the table.
>"From your own mouth"
>"Tell me you didn't do it"
>Twilight looked up from the table into your eyes.
>Innocence and sincerity filled you to the brim.
>Without missing a beat you placed your hand on your heart.
>"Twilight, I swear on my life that I have been faithful to Sunset."
>Your words cause you to smile.
>Twilight returns it
>One down and one to go.

>You couldn't believe it.
>Things were actually looking upwards.
>Hope fills you up to the point of almost bursting out from you.
>It creeps into your smile and you find yourself grinning ear to ear.
>"I love the enthusiasm Anon!"
>"Keep that up and you will without a doubt be reunited with Sunset" Rarity was as giddy as an elementary schooler with a new toy.
>The librarian shushes her again.
>The three of you share a hushed giggle.
>"So...where would she be?" you said giving a look Twilight's way.
>Twilight brought a hand up to her chin and her eyes narrowed as she looked down at one of her many notebooks.
>"Well, if I had to take a guess she'd more than likely be in the gymnasium"
>You smack your forehead.
>"Of course, fencing practice" You remember a few times going to see Sunset fence.
>Say what you will about her appearance.
>The girl knew her way around in a sword fight.
>"What are we waiting for then?" you say as you all stand up from the table.
>The three of you exit the library and you're not going to lie you're pretty damn excited about meeting up with Sunset.
>Excited and nervous, but mainly excited.
>You feel a little like Pinkie does before/after a good party.
>"Anon, have you thought what you're going to say to her?" Rarity's question brought your head back down to Earth
>Honestly, you hadn't thought of anything to say.
>You were kind of just hoping that when Twilight and Rarity explained everything that would be it.
>But you knew there was something you had to say to at least set Sunset's nerves straight.
>Before you could answer Rarity however, you felt a buzzing from your pants pocket.
>You felt around for your phone and fished it out.
>You looked at the screen and you saw a number you didn't recognize.
>All the message said was "check your locker"
>It felt like a weight had be slung around your chest.
>"Hang on girls, we need to make a quick stop." you say hiding the sense of dread you felt.

>"Anonymous, wait up!" Twilight yells at you, but you're on a mission.
>You sprint down hall after hall.
>Fear seizing your mind and your tongue.
>"Who the fuck texted me that?" you ask yourself.
>But deep down you had a inkling of a feeling you knew who it was.
>Your body completely froze.
>There it was.
>Your locker.
>Rarity and Twilight catch up to you.
>Each one panting.
>"Anon -gasp- what is going -gasp- on?" Twilight managed to squeak out.
>Your arm reached out towards the locker.
>As if being led by some mystical force.
>Your hand wrapped around the handle.
>Sounds were drowned out by the sound of your heart.
>It's sickening thump was the only thing you could hear.
>Unexpectedly, your locker opened slightly upon your touch.
>You hesitated to open it.
>But you swallowed your anxieties for just the act of opening your locker.
>Your eyes focusing on one piece in particular.
>A wave of panic traveled throughout your body.
>Your hands shake as they reach out and touch...leather.
>"No"
>You draw your hand back quickly.
>You look down at your forefinger.
>A sight that nearly made you sick right there.
>Blood.
>Against your better judgement, you gingerly grab the item of your discontent and pull it towards the light.
>Orange arrow shaped mark on both sleeves.
>Raised collar
>Gray-ish black.
>Splotches of red stained on the right shoulder.
>You don't know how to react.
>You feel cold.
>Cold and scared.
>Goddammit.

>A loud gasp from behind you draws your attention.
>You turn and see Rarity
>Her hands in a fanning motion.
>Her pupils the size of pinpricks
>"Oh my goodness, Anon is-is that..." she couldn't continue on.
>You just nod .
>She puts her hand over her mouth.
>She looks like she wants to scream, but she can't.
>You look over at Twilight and she's reacting the same way.
>She's fidgeting with her hair and looking to be pulling at it.
>You swear you see her face grow whiter than snow.
>The three of you go silent.
>Eyes aimed towards the floor.
>Awful thoughts fill your head..
>Out of the corner of your eye you see Rarity take in a deep breath and push a piece of her hair out of her face.
>She holds up a finger and opens her mouth to start speaking, but doesn't.
>As if she's trying to think of the ideal thing to say at a moment like this.
>She tries again.
>"A...Anon" she begins.
>You look towards her.
>That scared look in her eyes the only thing you can focus on
>She took another deep breath
>"This is getting too big for just us three to handle." her eyes fell back on the jacket in your locker.
>Slowly she carefully grabs the jacket and carries it on her shoulder.
>You don't understand what she's doing.
>Your eyes close and you feel like all is lost.
>A warm feeling envelopes your shoulder.
>You open them up and see Rarity's hand grasping your shoulder lightly..
>You look at Rarity's face and see that same warm comforting smile.
>Just like in the library
>"Don't you worry Anon."
>"Rarity's on the case" she gave you a quick hug and turned around towards Principal Celestia's office.
>"We're just going to need some help is all"
>"Be back in a minute darlings!"
>She still had that same elegant strut even in the face of something awful..
>You look over at Twilight and see she's also giving you a "We'll find her" smile.
>You feel another buzz come from your pocket.
>Startled you dig around again for your phone
>Same unknown number
>"did you find it?" was all it said

>Your hands grew sweaty.
>You reply back
>"who the fuck is this?"
>A few seconds go by
>A response
>"i'll take that as a yes"
>You stare at your phone like a bull being provoked by a red cape.
>"i did this for us" the next message said.
>Your shoulders rise up and down with each rage filled breath you take.
>"now we can be together like we should have always been"
>It takes everything in your power to not just chuck your phone as hard as you can.
>But, you get an idea.
>"okay, sure where you at?"
>And not a second goes by before you get your response.
>"i knew you would see reason!"
>"just come over to the art room near the gymnasium ;)"
>Pissed didn't even describe a tenth of how you felt.
>Your gaze wanders over to Twilight who is fidgeting with her hands while she looks on worried at you.
>"Twilight" you begin.
>She stops and pays attention to your words.
>"I...I think you should go with Rarity to Celestia's office.
>Your hand rubbed the back of your head as you averted your gaze.
>"Anon, who just text you?" was all you heard in reply.
>Your eyes grew wide and your forehead sweated another time today.
>You bit your lip as you looked up at Twilight.
>That same look of stern sadness.
>These girls trust you enough to try and piece your life back together.
>So there's no reason to leave them in the dark.
>"...She's got her Twi"
>You hold back your sadness but it still grips your heart with its icy claws.
>"She's got her and she's the one who put...-sigh- her jacket in my locker" your eyes look down the hall.
>"Her?"
>"You mean, Moondancer?" Twilight's voice sounded curious.
>All you do is nod.
>A small gasp is what you hear, but your eyes are still focused on the floor.
>"I don't know what she's capable of Twilight"
>"But I know I can't let her hurt anyone else because of me" Your eyelids drooped.
>Your head fell forward.
> "Maybe she'll understan-" your thoughts were lost as you felt a grip around your hand.
>"She's my friend too" came a scared voice.

>Twilight looked at you and you stared back at her.
>Your heart still racing, but you calm yourself enough to listen to Twilight continue.
>"Sunset means a lot to you I'm sure."
>"She also means a lot to me, to Rarity, to all her friends" her hand was still wrapped your wrist.
>She loosened her grip and rubbed her arm with her other hand.
>"You can't do this alone Anon" her eyes connected with yours.
>You chuckle a little.
>"Then it's a good thing I have you guys to help isn't it?" you put your hand out towards Twi.
>She looks at it and back to your face. >Surprise washes over her, but then so does relief.
>She grabs your hand and helps you to your feet.
>"Alright, then what can do?" Twilight asked with some extra pep in her voice.
>"She's got her over by the art room" your voice carries newfound confidence.
>Twilight pumps her arms up and down.
>God what a dork.

>Every hallway the two of you go through brings you that much closer to the gym.
>And that much closer to Sunset.
>But also Moondancer.
>That girl was going to be the death of you both figuratively and literally if she kept this up.
>You come across a familiar smell of rubber, sweat, and shame.
>You look to your left and see the Canterlot High school gym.
>You stop in your tracks.
>"What is it Ano-" You hold a hand up to shush Twilight.
>That's when you hear it again.
>It sounded like someone humming.
>Your eyes are drawn to the only door slightly ajar.
>You turn around to Twilight and motion for her to stay back.
>Her eyes focus on your face and drift over to the slightly opened door.
>She nods and slips back behind a corner.
>"Fuck, here goes nothing" you try to psych yourself up with each small step you take towards the door.
>The humming grows louder.
>It sounds so happy and that terrifies you.
>As soon as you are in front of the door the humming stops.
>A chill goes through the air.
>You sweat more bullets than a redneck's apocalypse shelter.
>The handle begins to turn on the door and slowly it pulls inward.
>Your eyes don't look away as you see the same pale white arm from your nightmares.
>Messy red and blue hair tied into some weird-pseudo bun on top.
>Thin glasses on her face hiding those obsessive crazy eyes.
>As soon as she makes eye contact with you her entire demeanor changes.
>"You came!" she squealed as she held her hands together in front of herself.
>The sound of her voice still made you want to light yourself on fire.
>But, that can wait until you find out what this crazy bitch has done with Sunset.
>Without warning she takes your hand in hers.
>She intertwines her fingers with yours.
>"Oh Anon, I've dreamed of this moment for all my life" that perverted smile never fading.
>She pulls you inside the room and shuts the door behind you.
>You hear her lock it.
>But your attention is drawn towards the middle table.
>Where Sunset Shimmer is

>"Don't mind the mess" came Moondancer's sort of sing-songy voice.
>"I'm in the middle of tidying up" she beamed at you.
>She gave you bed room eyes and started to draw circles with her finger on your chest.
>"But...if you don't mind..." her face blushed.
>"I can squeeze you in right now" She closed her eyes and pursed her lips.
>She leaned in expecting a kiss.
>A few seconds pass and her eye slowly opens.
>Your stare is frozen on Sunset Shimmer.
>A shadow hides her face.
>Her arms are limply hanging by her side.
>Her favorite light-blue sundress was tattered and frayed.
>"Oh right, I forgot she was in here" you hear from in front of you.
>You saw Moondancer's bushy eyebrows furrow
>"Just ignore her my sweet" she returns to her kissing stance and wraps her arm around your waist.
>"Sunny..." a pained whisper escapes your lips.
>That same whirling monumental force of anger and sadness grasped your heart.
>It burns your insides.
>Moondancer opens her eyes and still sees you staring at Sunset.
>Her brow furrows more and she frowns.
>"She's still standing in the way of our love" she breaks off her grip from you.
>You watch her reach over a nearby desk and pull out a fucking baseball bat
>"I only had to use this the one time" she said as she wiped it with her sweater.
>You glanced over at Sunset and saw bits of purple and red from what you could see on her face.
>"I see what I'll have to do"
>That sentence feels like someone dunked you under ice water.
>You hear a clink that sends your blood pressure through the roof.
>Fight or flight mode now.
>You're Anon
>This pale psycho has made the last two days of your life a living hell
>Now she's threatening the love of your life.
>Fight or Flight?
>As if there was another answer.
>"Fuck it" is your battle cry as you charge at Moondancer.
>She catches a glimpse of you as pure shock spreads on her face.
>You connect and send Moondancer flying back into a nearby chair.
>She lands hard on her back.
>"Fuck her"

>Moondancer groans as she tries to get back on her feet, but fails to.
>Adrenaline still pumping through your system you just stand there and watch Moondancer.
>Her eyes full of fear and pain, but more noticeably anger.
>But she doesn't look like she'll get up for a while.
>"Sunset" you immediately remembered.
>You turned around on your heels and nearly dived towards her
>Your heart felt like it was going to beat out of your chest.
>Her arms were bare and looked scratched up.
>Like you said her sundress looked ruined.
>The color was faded and there were a few red spots near her chest.
>"Sunset?!" you didn't mean to shout, but your adrenaline was still pumping.
>She didn't budge.
>You reached your hand out and carefully brushed her hair out of her eyes.
>What you saw chilled your soul.
>Sunset's right eye was swollen.
>Below her nose was dried streaks of blood.
>But that wasn't the worst of it.
>There was nothing in her eyes.
>No anger, no sadness, no anything.
>Your entire body shakes and you feel like your heart will jump out of your throat.
>You take your trembling hand and gently cup Sunset's chin.
>You move it to where her good eye is looking at you.
>Her expression doesn't change.
>Just like she's in a completely different world.
>A lone tear falls down your cheek.
>You pull Sunset's head towards you carefully.
>You place a kiss on her forehead.
>The tears in your eyes made it hard to see, but you swear you saw a light glint faintly in Sunset's eye.
>Though that might be because of the poor lighting.
>It doesn't matter.
>What matters is Sunset doesn't react one bit to anything you've done.
>"Fuck m-" you try to say before a sharp pain in your leg causes you to topple onto the ground.
>You grab a hold of your leg cursing under your breath and see Moondancer standing over you.
>The restraint in her is gone. She's gone full on psycho.
>Her face is trained on you as she heaves with angry-spiteful breaths.
>"That -gasp- wasn't nice Anon" she growled.

>Moondancer nostrils flare with her ragged, scratchy breaths.
>"How is that anyway to treat your woman you fucking asshole!" you saw a vein pulse in the side of her head
>She was brandishing the bat like a goddamn axe.
>You know any second she'll swing it back down on you.
>Breaking something.
>You prepare for the worst, but you realize nothing has happened.
>Looking up you see Moondancer.
>Calm, and quiet..
>A huge fucking jump from what she was literally a few seconds ago.
>You see her take a glance behind her.
>As if she was making sure Sunset was still there.
>Your heart dropped.
>"As long as she's still a part of your life you can never truly love me"
>"I get it now"
>Her expression didn't change she just said that as if it were the cold hard truth.
>"Anon, do you know what it's like to be alone?
>You didn't know how to react to that.
>You shake your head slowly and your mouth drops open in rebuttal.
>"You were the only one who remembered about me" she continued.
>"Elementary school, middle school, summer camp, and now in high school"
>"Everyone drifted away from that "Psycho nerdy whore" but not you Anon"
>Her eyes shimmered from the light.
>"You...you cared"
>She sniffled a little and hugged the bat like it was a pillow.
>Flashbacks of you and Moondancer go through your head.
>The times you shared lunch because she didn't have any.
>How you helped tutor her through some classes so she wouldn't fail.
>How you and her always had some new book or series to gush over.
>You're at a loss for words.
>"Then you and Bacon Bitch over here get together and all of a sudden it was goodbye Moondancer" Her tone grew more hurt and angry as she went on.
>"You were the reason I got out of bed in the morning most days."
>Tears were streaming down her face as she hiccuped through her sobs.
>She took off her glasses and wiped her tears on her sweater sleeve.
>The pain in your leg stopped, but you find you can't get up.
>Were you actually feeling sorry for her?

>After what seems like minutes of just straight crying, Moondancer placed her glasses back on her face.
>Her eyes still puffy, but still wielding that calm but psychotic look.
>"Once this is done we can go back to how it used to be A-Anon"
>She wiped her hands on her skirt.
>Still hiccuping as she does.
>"Shit, get up man you gotta get up" you were hoping you could scare yourself up, but your adrenaline fueled episode earlier has left you drained.
>Panic set over your face as you saw Moondancer grab the bat back up into her hands.
>"You had to save Sunset"
>That became your mantra.
>"You had to save Sun-"
>Out of the corner of your eye you saw movement.
>And heard a sound you haven't heard since...
>"It can't be..."
> Moondancer was still readying herself to do the deed.
>She felt a poke on her shoulder from behind.
>You saw her body freeze up and she did the most retarded thing you could think of.
>She turned around.
>Imagine the noise of a hammer hitting a brick after getting dropped off the empire state building.
>That's how hard you swear Sunset decked Moondancer.
>Moondancer is set flying on her back and lands face down on the floor.
>All you hear from her is a groan of pain.
>"Who are you calling "Bacon bitch"?"
>That voice...
>You looked to where it came from and your heart skipped a beat.
>Determined look, twinkle in her eye, and fist still outstretched.
>There was no doubt in your mind.
>That was Sunset Shimmer.

>You were in disbelief.
>There she was standing before you.
>Still a wreck, but she was there.
>She was alive.
>Her gaze turned over to you.
>Her breaths were heavy.
>But despite everything.
>She's smiling at you.
>Slowly she walks over and gently sits down across from you on the floor.
>Neither one of you say a word.
>Sunset holds out her hand.
>It becomes the only thing you see.
>Your heart does a backflip in joy.
>You can't believe this is really happening.
>You get a firm grip of Sunset's hand, and she awkwardly helps you to your feet.
>You stumble a little as you feel your leg ache from Moondancer, but that seems so faraway.
>You both just stare at each other for a little while longer.
>Her glowing smile making you break out a stupidly big grin.
>The weight of the last day and half finally lift off your shoulders.
>The horizons seem brighter than they have ever been.
>"You look like shit" was the first words out of your mouth.
>She play-punched your shoulder and chuckled.
>Then she wrapped both her arms around you while still giggling.
>"Thanks, you asshole"
>You both just enjoyed the moment.
>It all seemed like a distant nightmare.
>She lets out a sigh of relief, and so do you.
>You love this woman.

>Moments as rare as this one tend to not last forever unfortunately.
>The sound of someone trying to turn the door handle brought you back to reality.
>You heard voices outside, at least three.
>Then with a jingling sound and another attempt.
>The door opened.
>In walked a woman with hair like the morning sunrise and behind her were the friendly faces of Twilight and Rarity.
>"Principal Celestia" you heard Sunset whisper.
>"Sunset!" they said in unison as they tackled hugged her.
>She winced a little, but returned the hug tenfold.
>"Hey guys" she coughed out.
>"Sunset dear, what on Earth happened to you?" Rarity's look of concern grew as she inspected every inch of Sunset.
>Sunset closed her eyes and let out a sigh.
>"It's a long story" she shrugged.
>Her eyes looked over at Moondancer's still body.
>If you didn't see her back moving from her breathing you would swear she was dead.
>But you could tell she was sobbing.
>"I'll tell you guys about it on the way to Nurse Redheart's kay?"
>That answer seemed fine for the girls and the principal.
>You and Sunset started to walk out the door.
>"What about her?" Twilight questioned while pointing over at Moondancer.
>You felt an uneasy tension in your stomach
>You knew how Sunset was about second chances, but do some people deserve one no matter what?
>Sunset sighs heavily.
>"She'll probably need to see Redheart too"
>You and Sunset both knew she'd need a lot more help than one school nurse.
>"Cool, you're carrying her then" and you almost peace out right there.
>You feel Sunset roll her eyes at you.
>After the day you've had you deserve to be a little bit of a smarmy dick.
>So after you carry a still crying Moondancer to Nurse Redheart's office.
>Sunset recounted all the events of the previous two days.
>The heartbreak, the betrayal, and the obsessiveness of Moondancer.
>Apparently after Sunset left the library earlier Moondancer surprised her with a cheap shot to the back with a baseball bat.

>Sunset told about how she tried to fight back, but the moment she grabbed a piece of Moondancer's bare skin she saw her memories.
>They were disgusting to say the least.
>All of them were overly-sexualized
>And all of them involved her and Anon.
>Everywhere she looked in Moondancer's memory that's all she saw
>She couldn't handle it and it was like she shut down.
>The lights were on, but no one was home.
>It wasn't until she felt Anon's loving kiss that she got the real story.
>She saw Moondancer throwing herself at Anon at almost every turn.
>Not once did Anon willingly do anything with Moondancer.
>You remember that glint in her eyes.
>That thought warms your heart.
>"So Moondancer was just so crazy about Anon that all her memories were...skewed?" asked Rarity.
>Sunset nodded as she was lying on Redheart's cot.
>She looked at the cot next to her and saw Moondancer's back to everyone. Not sobbing, but most likely asleep.
>"Well, I am just happy you are still here with us Sunset." Principal Celestia began with a motherly smile.
>"And you too Anonymous" you turned your attention to her.
>"You showed great courage and your actions have saved the life of another.
>She bows her head to you.
>You're not good at taking compliments.
>"Th-Thanks Ms, C" you said as your eyes were glued to the floor.
>All of a sudden Rarity was hugging your left side, and Twilight was hugging your right.
>You looked over to Sunset and she gave you that warm familiar smile you adore.
>Carefully you move over to Sunset's bedside with the two girls still hugged around you.
>"You're not getting out of this one just because of a couple bruises" you said with a sly grin.
>And you maneuver your arms around her, Twilight, and Rarity for a nice, group hug.
>Principal Celestia wipes her eyes with her sleeve.
>"Life is good" you think.
>"Life is really fucking good"

>Be Sunset Shimmer.
>All your friends hug the hell out of you after an encounter almost cost you your life.
>They all wave goodbye, and Principal Celestia gives you a nice warm hug like a mom gives their child.
>"So..." her tone was kind of serious.
>"Do you want to press charges" she said in a hushed tone.
>You look over at Moondancer.
>Either she was still asleep or really good at faking it.
>The events of the last few days played out in your head.
>Every bit of rage, of sorrow, and sadness you felt because of that girl across from you.
>Your eyes look downward at your bandaged side.
>"...No"
>Celestia looked surprise for a second.
>"Are you sure?"
>Her motherly voice in high gear.
>"Yeah, I'm sure"
>Sunset let out a sigh.
>"I see" Principal Celestia looked to the ground for a second and then back at Sunset.
>"She needs help"
>"Way more than I can give her, and way more than some bandages would give her."
>You felt your smile dip into a frown.
>Your heart ached.
>On one hand you should be furious, but what good is that going to do now?
>She's lost and alone, but she needs a guiding hand.
>"Very well Sunset Shimmer"
>"I will do whatever is within my power to get her the help she needs"
>She looks up at a nearby clock.
>"You should get some rest I'll be back to visit tomorrow." she gathered up her stuff in her purse and hugged you.
>"Take it easy Sunset." she turned away while waving and walked out the door.
>You relaxed a little after a bit.
>Your eyes were getting heavy.
>You fluffed up one of the cheap pillows and laid your head down upon it.
>You attention turned to Moondancer.
>Her hand was outstretched towards you.
>Her face was scared.
>Like she was having a bad dream.
>Against your better judgement you reach your hand out and grab a hold of it.
>Memories appeared to you, but none like last time.
>She was forgotten. Alone.
>You gently squeezed her hand.
>A small smile appeared on her face.
>One appeared on yours too.
>"Sweet dreams Moony"
