Ghostly shimmer

Sunset shimmer walked into school that morning wearing a bright smile from ear to ear, it had been two months since the Dazzlings had been stopped and left powerless by her, Twilight and their friends and honestly, things were looking up.

After what had happened everyone had completely forgotten about Sunset's psychotic breakdown before where she'd used Twilight's crown to turn herself into an uncontrollable demon and tried to enslave the whole school. Many of them smiled and greeted Sunset as she walked by. "Hey Vinyl." Sunset said as she opened her locker next to the girl with the electric blue hair and purple shades.

When Vinyl gave no reply Sunset tapped her shoulder, Vinyl removed her earbuds and Sunset giggled "Principal Celestia confiscate your headphones again?" Vinyls nodded.

She was a girl do very few words but ask the right questions and the quiet DJ could be a colourful conversationist.

"You know that might happen a lot less if you could pay a little more attention to where you were going?" Sunset said giving Vinyl a smirk, raising an eyebrow. Vinyl chuckled then pointed as a note fell out of Sunset's locker onto her boot. SunsetShimmer picked up the note and opened it reading it quietly in her mind, then passing it on to Vinyl.

"I think Octy forgot which locker is yours again." She said with the same mischieviously smirk, Vinyl blushed taking the note and tucking it away into her math book. "Don't worry I didn't read all of It." Sunset re-assured her friend. "But seriously how long are you two gonna play the secret Romeo and Juliet game?"

The DJ just hugged her books rubbing the back of her neck nervously with a shy smile.

Sunset just rolled her eyes. "Fine just put a sticker on your locker or something cuz honestly one of these days someone's gonna catch you if Octy keeps putting the notes in my locker by accident."

Vinyl nodded and ran off to class at the sound of the bell. Sunset giggled watching the DJ run as fast as her feet would carry her down the hall, around the corner and out of sight. With a sigh Sunset shut her lock, stuffing her books into her backpack and saying. "One if these days those two are gonna have some serious explaining to do, thank god Pinkie doesn't know there little secret'd be on the front page if the school paper." Sunset chuckled slightly at her own joke as she walked in yeh opposite direction of Vinyl to her science class.

Sunset sat down next to her lab partner and leaned in to get a better look at the notes for the day. "So what's on the agenda today professor Octavia?" She asked the A plus student slash budding Cellist Octavia Melody.

"Oh good morning Sunset." Octavia replied looking up from the notes. "Well it's rather simple really, we're just comparing how wood burns compared to paper, magnesium and iron filings."

Sunset gave another chuckle "geez you think the teacher's mom never told him not to play with fire, have we do up anything without the Bunsen burners this week?"

Octavia smiled "not to my recollection." She retorted. "So how was your weekend?" She asked holding a match over the spout of the burner and turning on the gass, a small flame flashed on tend Octavia dropped the match onto a heat mat watching as it quickly suffocated the flame.

"Meh pretty good, had another slumber party at Pinkie's, AJ and I had a little fun making her sister think the barn was haunted." Sunset couldn't stop herself and chuckled wiping a tear from her eye as they watered. "I honestly felt sorry for the poor kid, she fell back into the heybail and AppleJack spent the entire afternoon picking it out of her hair."

Octavia allowed herself to give a small chuckle, normally she would not have given the expectations set for her but if Sunset could break people's expectations, then why not she from time to time. "How's Vinyl? I heard a rumour going around she wasn't comming in today because of a doctor's appointment."

"Oh no she's here, I bumped into her earlier." Sunset replied "maybe she's going later or something or maybe she large addy went I dunno." They both put on their safety goggles and tied their hair back so it wouldn't catch fire. "By the way you mixed up our lockers again Octy." Octavia blushed.

"Oh shoot!" She said quietly.

"Relax no one saw, and it only read the first sentence, then I gave it to Vinyl." Sunset giggled as Octavia let oth a sigh of relief "I also told Vinyl to put a sticker on her locker so you won't forget."

"Thank you Sunset." Octavia said "and thanks for not telling everyone after um.. What happened." She said still blushing a nervous smile on her face.

"No problem, I mean it is kinda cuz of me you two met." She giggled "we'll maybe Pinkie since she's the one who suggested we play 7 minutes of heaven crossed with spin the bottle." Sunset began uncontrollably giggling childishly again. "I-I swe-he-hear, the look on your face when hahahahaaaaa, when the bottle landed on you and Vinyl hahhaa."

"Shhh not so loud!" Octavia said quietly.

"Ok ok sorry." Sunset shimmer said regaining her composure "phew but you gotta admit you did look pretty funny." Octavia rolled her eyes.

"Alright perhaps I over reacted slightly."

"Slightly? You hid behind Bon Bon and I swear I heard you cry out for your mother." Sunset said laughing again

"W-we'll at least I didn't panick and bang my head on the coat rack like Bon Bin did when it landed on her and Lyra." Octavia snapped back.

"Ooo yeah, man I think that was the weirdest way for us to find out... I still can't believe the two of your knew before I did." Sunset said

"We'll naturally." Octavia replied "Vinyl tend I had known Bon Bon long before we'd started hanging out. And again sorry about what I said"

Sunset shimmer waved her hand "water under the bridge I mean come on you were drunk."

"Um that's not what I meant." Octavia said with a pause "and just wheat Possessed Bon Bon's father to give her that bottle of wine I'll never know." Octavia said rubbing her temples "my head is still pounding."

"Still?" Sunset asked "that slumber party was over a week ago."

"Yes but if you recall we all drank so much that according to Vinyl I had started cussing like a sailor and Bon Bin had apparently become something Lyra referred to as." Octavia used her fingers for air quotes "Bombed Bon."

"H-hey I was nervous ok?!" Bon Bon yelled from the work table next to them where she and Lyra were sitting "it was my first time I jesting alcahol."

"I think that goes for all of us Bonnie." Sunset said smiling having not realized Lyra and Bon Bon were right next to them. "Sorry guess we just got carried away telling old stories."

"It's fine." Bon Bin replied calming down. "Let's just, try not to bring it up too much ok? It's kind of embarrassing. And don't even get me started on how my mom reacted."

The rest of science class passed by almost uneventfully, all going we'll.. That is until Trixie had somehow managed to cause a small explosion using only the magnesium, paper and iron filings and having to be sent to the nurses office to repeat her third digress burns on her left hand.

"Ooh tough luck." Bon Bon said.

"Yes quite." Octavia replied "especially sin e that's her writing hand."

"Oh crap don't we have english next?" Sunset asked and she, Lyra, Octavia and Bon Bon all shared concerned looks.

The bell rang and the students all departed to relax during their free period before their next class, Octavia ducking out into the girls bathroom and Lyra stopping with Bon Bon as she opened her locker to drop off her science books and pick up her english books.

It was then Sunset ran into one of her friends. "Hey Sunseeet!" A familiar and cheery voice sang out as Sunst was pulled into a Big bearhug by a surprisingly strong girl with curly pink hair like Cotten candy.

"Hey Pinkie pie." Sunset replied "uh Pinkie?" She choked out as Pinkie's grip tightened. "Kinda hard to breath."

"Wow Pinkie heal girl." Dash joked as she pulled pinkie off of Sunset, Pinkie pretended to be a dog holding her hands out infront of her like paws.

"Arf Arf."

"Now that is just plain wierd." Applejack said staring at pinkie with an eyebrow raised. "Sometimes ah think y'all take so e jokes just a toe too far Pinkiepie."

"Meh what're you gonna do?" Pinkie asked before giggling childishly and pulling a pencil out of her hair which had jumped out of sunset's grip as she'd surprise attacked her. "Here you go." She said giving the pencil back to Susnet.

"Thanks Pinkie." Sunset said smiling putting the pencil into her jacket pocket. "So how have you girls been?"

"Awesome, same as always." Rainbowdash replied first.

"Pretty good, still haven't managed to get all the hey outta Applebloom's hair bless her." AJ said as she started chuckling "sh-she's actually convinced she's turnin into a scarecrow." Pinkie Rainbow and Sunset chuckled with her  the thought was just so silly.

"Hmhmhm ah the naive minds of little sisters." Sunset said her hands on her chest as if what applejack had said had touched her heart somewhat.

"I wish I had a little sister." Pinkie said.

"Wowowow Pinkie I think one of you is quite a handful already," Rainbowdash joked. "We don't need another one."

"Hmm probably right." Pinkie said "sometimes there is such a thing as too much fun hmhm." Sunset rolled her eyes smiling.

"Yeah sure Pinkie, so you guys psyched about the big field trip tomorrow." Sunset asked.

"You bet yer leather jacket ah am." Applejack said giving a fist pump for effect.

"Hyper my boots fine but hands off the jacket." Sunset joked.

"I don't get it though Shimmer, you dress up like a biker but you don't even have your licence yet." Rainbow said.

"You don't have to have a motor bike to wear a biker jacket Dash." Sunset replied "besides I like this jacket, and I'm getting my license next week, I even saved up enough money to buy a bike."

"That is so cool!" Pinkie said.

"We'll no better time to decide then our field trip to the automotive factory tomorrow." Applejack said. "Way I hear it this company is the only one in town, responsible for assemblin and distributin cars and motorbikes of all kinds all over town and even the next town over."

"That is seriously awesome." Rainbowdash added. "When I get my licence I'm gonna get a car though, then we can all go cruisin down the highway."

"Yeah we can carpool during Sumer vacay and hang out at the beach." Pinkiepie chimed in.

"Yeah that sounds fun." Sunset replied.

"Now hang on there sugar cube, Rainbow doesn't get her licence for another year or so, and ah reckon it'll take her a while, so how's this I'll se if ah can get mah brother Big Mac to drive us up in the family pickup." Applejack suggested.

"Hmm that would be better then taking the bus." Sunset said.

"And safer then all of us trying to pile one Sunset's bike." Pinkie said making all of the. Laugh.

"Alrighty then ah'll ask Big Mac tonight after school once all mah chores are done." Applejack said slapping Rainbow  a high five.

"Awesome this summer is gonna rock." Rainbowdash said as all four of them exchanged high fives.
