Homeless Sunset Shimmer pt. 8

>You wake up with Sunset in your arms.
>You smile and gently kiss her head.
"Good morning, love."
>You sigh and get up, hating yourself for not being able to tell her that last night.
>Not much to do this morning.
>You have no spare clothes, so you can't shower.
>Everything you had was probably burnt to a crisp.
>You hear Sunset shift positions behind you.
>She's still asleep.
>You decide to head to the lobby for something hot.
>This particular motel has free hot chocolate for about an hour in the mornings.
>You open the door and step outside into the cold.
>You only have a pair of jeans and a white tank top on.
>You hate fires.
>You walk to the lobby, stepping carefully on the cold pavement so your feet don't get punctured by a rock or something.
>Stepping inside, you walk over to the counter and pour two cups of hot chocolate for you and your lovely Sunset Shimmer.
>In and out, two minutes.
>You walk back to your room and step inside.
>Sunset is awake now, but she's still laying in bed.
>Poor girl, she looks so sad.
>You should've said you loved her last night, she probably really needed to hear that.
"Hey, Sunny."
>She looks up at you and gives a weak smile.
>"Hey, Nonny."
>You smile at her and set her cup down next to her.
"Got you some hot chocolate."
>She glances at it and sadly looks down again.
>"Thanks."
>Your smile fades and you sigh.
>You sit down next to her, setting your cup next to hers, and rub her hair.
>There's nothing that can really be said right now.
>You're both homeless now, and you're too much of a wimp to tell her how much you love her.
>You're just as sad as her, if not more so.
>You both stay there in silence for a couple of minutes.
>Neither of you does anything.
>Finally she sits up and stretches.
>She takes a sip of her hot chocolate and sets it down.
>"I'm gonna go to the bathroom."
>She walks in and shuts the door, leaving you alone.
"Love you..."
>...
>After she comes back out, you figure it's time to get moving and start doing what you're supposed to do today.
>You've got a plane to catch.
>Once you both finish with your personal matters, you head outside and head across the street to the Walmart.
>Sunset covers herself in the blanket she got last night and shivers violently the whole way.
>The cold is coming early this year.
>Poor thing.
>You both walk inside and immediately head to the clothing department.
>You walk past some heavy winter coats and pick a black one out for yourself.
"You're going to need a coat. We're heading up north."
>"What's up north?
"In the middle of November? There's snow and ice up north. Lots of it."
>"Oh."
>She didn't sound too enthusiastic about it.
>She picks a big green ski coat.
>You both head out to the rest of the clothes and pick out a few shirts, pants, underwear, and shoes you both like.
>You also pick up a backpack to put all your stuff in.
>You both make your way to the toiletries section and grab toothbrushes.
>As you both head toward the checkout, you pass the pink isle.
>You see a bunch of fat guys in hats are crowded around the "Pretty, Pretty Pegasus" section and it looks like they're fighting over a stuffed horse.
>What a bunch of manchildren.
>You make your purchases then head into the store bathrooms to change and brush your teeth.
>After a few minutes, you come back out in a regular black t shirt, new jeans, and shoes.
>Everything you had before was now packed in your bag.
>Sunset hadn't come out yet, so you call the taxi company and tell them where to pick you up.
>Once you hang up, Sunset comes walking out.
>You smile at her.
"You look good."
>She gives a little giggle and smiles at you.
>"Thanks."
>She's wearing a dark pink hoodie and with some new jeans, and violet shoes.
>She looks adorable.
>You take her stuff and put it in your bag, then you both head outside, your fingers locked between each others.

>You are now Sunset Shimmer.
>Your heart is threatening to burst from your chest.
>You are terrified thanks to multiple contributing factors.
>After a hectic taxi ride through traffic, and an hour of waiting in line to get through security at the airport, you finally make it aboard the plane.
>You're also sitting in a first-class airplane seat next to Anon, so not only do you feel extremely out of place by being in first-class, but you're also sitting inside an airplane.
>You've never flown before.
>At all.
>Not even when you were in Equestria.
>If you needed to get somewhere fast, you either magic'd your way around, or you rode the train.
>You didn't need to fly around, that was pegasi bullshit.
>You grip latch onto the armrests with an iron grip, turning your knuckles white.
>Anon is reading a magazine next to you.
>He joked around about it earlier.
>Apparently, this "Sky Mall" magazine sold some of the most expensive, and at the same time, useless things ever thought up.
>But they were still cool to look at.
>Regardless, you can't imagine how he could read at a time like this.
>Looking to the seat behind you, you see some old fart sleeping.
>Sleeping!
>He's about to fly thousands of feet in the air and travel hundreds of miles per hour, and he's sleeping!
>You face forward again and take another deep breath.
"Anon?"
>"Hmmm?"
"These things are safe, right?"
>"What, airplanes?"
"Y- Yeah."
>"Well sure they are. Statistically, it's the safest way to travel."
>You gulp and take another deep breath.
>Anon sets his hand on top of yours and rubs it gently.
>"Hey. We're going to be fine. Don't worry, okay?"
>You look at him and he smiles at you.
>You smile back and hold his hand.
>He's right, you need to calm down.
>If he says you're going to be okay, then you're going to be okay.
>The engine revs and the plane jolts.
"GHAAAAAA FUCK!!"
>You breathe in and out hard and grip your armrest again.
>You take a quick look out the window and see you're slowly moving backwards.
>Anon is staring at you, shocked.
>You turn around and see that every other passenger is looking at you the same way.
>Anon gives a nervous chuckle behind you.
>"Sorry, everyone! It's her first time flying, and she's a little nervous."
>Everyone slowly returns to their own business and you face forward again, embarrassed and scared.
>"Sunset."
>You take another gulp but don't face Anon.
>"Sunset- Ow! Ease up a bit."
>You look back at him.
>He's wincing in pain.
>You look down at your hands and realize you're holding his in an iron grip.
>Oops.
>You let it go.
"S- Sorry! Sorry, Anon!"
>He rubs his hand and nods.
>"Its okay, it's fine. Look, you really need to calm down."
>You take another breath and shut your eyes tight.
"I know, I know, it's just..."
>You breathe out and laugh.
"It's just new and scary, you know? People aren't supposed to fly."
>Anon chuckles and wraps his arm around you.
>"Yeah, I know it's scary... Tell you what, once we get in the air, we can trade seats and you can look out the window."
>You aren't sure about that.
>You don't want to see how far up you will be, it would just terrify you more.
>"Don't worry, Earth looks awesome from that high up. Kind of like a mini toy set. It's almost unreal."
>You think about it for a moment.
"Well, I'll think about it and let you know."
>He shrugs.
>"Alright."
>As you continue down the runway, the flight attendant stands at the front of the isle and makes all sorts of gestures and explains the safety features.
>You pay attention to every word she says.
>You want to be sure you won't die if the plane crashes.
>Finally, the pilot comes on, introduces herself as "Captain Spitfire" and says something garbled you can't understand.
>You feel the plane come to a stop, and you tense up.
>Anon holds your hand and bounces in his seat a little.
>"Oooh, this is the best part! Here we go, Sunset!"
>You gulp and take a few deep breaths.
"Okay... Okay, okay, okay, okay..."
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WS1EJiUM91s
>You feel the seat vibrate as the engines roar to life.
>You grab Anon's hand and hold it tight.
>You take a quick glance out the window and see the world whoosh by.
"Anon?"
>He doesn't respond, he just gets a big smile on his face and starts laughing.
"Anon, this isn't funny!"
>He sinks back in his seats and laughs louder.
>You feel yourself sink back in the seat and your stomach start to move around inside you.
>You shut your eyes as the shaking intensifies and the engines get louder.
>You're trying so hard not to scream.
>Suddenly, you feel yourself lean backwards.
>Not just your back, your entire body; the seat you're in, everything.
>"Alright, we're airborne!"
"What?!"
>You open your eyes and look around.
>It wasn't just you that leaned back, the entire plane leaned back.
>You look out the window and see as the streets, cars, buildings and people get smaller and further away.
>It's... Exhilarating.
"Woah..."
>You lean across Anon's lap and stare out the window.
>You just watch as you get higher and higher in the air.
>You can see everything from up here!
"This is..."
>You chuckle and a huge smile spreads across your face.
"This is awesome!! Haha! We're flying!"
>You just keep laughing like a little kid as you look around at everything.
>You can see for miles!
>You try counting all the houses you can see, but too many keep coming into view and they get too small.
>Suddenly, the plane turns and you can see the ground directly below you.
>It stays on its side for a few seconds before leveling out again.
>You just keep staring outside at everything.
>"See? Told you it wasn't so bad!"
>You laugh and look back at Anon with a huge smile on your face.
"Yeah, you were right! This is so cool!"
>He laughs and you turn back to look outside, taking in the view.

---

>You are Anon again.
>Three hours, one bag of peanuts, and an in-flight meal later, you're sitting in your seat and Sunset is asleep on your shoulder.
>After staring out the window for about 45 minutes, you got above the clouds and there wasn't anything else to see, so she got bored.
>By then, it was time for the meal anyway.
>After eating and chatting for a bit, she decided to take a nap.
>The stewardess brought you a blanket and Sunset threw it over you both.
>Which leads to where you are now.
>She's softly snoring in your ear and holding you like a teddy bear.
>All you can do is just smile at her.
>She's so beautiful.
>You lean back and try to get some sleep too.
>Heaven knows you need one.
>Other than Sunset being here with you, these past few days have pretty much sucked.
>But at least you have a plan.
>You told your work of your situation last night, and they reluctantly agreed to let you go for a little bit.
>You're going to go home, just settle down there for a bit, maybe look for a new place around here, you might just start your life over again.
>Wouldn't be so bad.
>You'd be closer to your old friends Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Twilight.
>A bunch of good girls, they were.
>The intercom comes on and interrupts your train of thought.
>You were beginning your descent.
>You take a look outside and see the clouds gradually get closer.
>It was also getting dark.
>You look under the blanket and make sure Sunset still has her seatbelt on.
>You gently nudge her shoulder.
"Sunset. Sunset, hey."
>She groans a little and looks up at you.
"We're starting out descent. You need to be awake."
>She groans a little again and closes her eyes.
>"Mmmhh... Okay..."
>She slowly wakes up and yawns.
>She looks out the window again at the view.
>A few minutes and a little turbulence passes by when you get below the clouds.
>If it weren't for the lights in the buildings, you wouldn't be able to see anything due to the snow and fog.
>You both stare out the window until you reach the runway.
>Sunset had a lot more fun during this part.
>You slow down and head to the terminal.
>The captain tells you all that the temperature outside is a balmy -6 degrees fahrenheit.
>As soon as the seatbelt sign goes off, you quickly grab your bag and take out your and Sunset's new coats.
>You both put them on and get ready to get off.
>The door opens and a gust of icy wind hits you both.
>You both shiver and fold your arms.
"Ah, home sweet home."
>"Jeez Anon, how did you survive up here?!"
>You both laugh and you wrap your arm around her.
"Don't worry, Sunny. You'll get used to it."
>You step into the warm terminal and head toward the exit.
"Now, we should have a ride waiting for us."
>"Like a limo?"
"Maybe."
>"Hmm. Never rode in a limo before."
"Well, theres a first time for everything."
>You head toward the escalators and head down to the lower level.
>You see lots of drivers holding signs out in the cold.
>You're looking around for the sign that says "Ymous", when...
>"Well, well! If it isn't Anonymous!"
>You stop dead in your tracks as that voice hits your ears.
"Oh hell no..."
>Not now, not her.
>Anyone, just please not her.
>Sunset looks behind you.
>You slowly turn around to scowl at the supermodel trophy woman you once called your girlfriend standing behind you, with a shit-eating grin spread across her Botoxed face, looking just as expensive as ever.
>This is the girl you now hate more than anyone or anything else in this world.
“Hello, Fleur…”
