Ghostly shimmer

Bon Bon got up from the sofa, pausing the program she was watching as she heard a knock in the door. She opened the door to see Sunset Shimmer, shivering from the cold, sopping wet from her head down to her toe. "Oh my." Bon Bon said.

"H-hey B-Bon Bon c-can I c-c-come in ?" Sunset asked.

"Oh o-ofcourse. Come in sweetie you're hands are like ice." She said guiding Sunset into the living room. "You stay here I'm gonna get you a blanket, then go run you a nice hot bath.

"Th-th-thanks Bon Bon." Sunset replied with a small smile.  "Y-you're to k-k-kind."

"Nonesense." Bon Bon replied. "Now you sit down and just relax." Sunset smiled and Bon. Bon draped a blanket over her, running upstairs to run her a bath. Sunset looked around the house, Bon Bon's parents were out for the night so Bon. Bon was home alone. On the walls were numerous pictures of Bon Bon and her family, one or two with Lyra in  them, Sunset smiled, then frowned as she looked back down at the letter in her hands.

"Where the heck did they find  " Sunset sighed hugging her knees. "I can't believe this... Sigh what am I suppose to do?" She asked no one in particular.

"Hey you ok?" Bon Bon asked from the bottom of the stairs, in her state of deep thought Sunset had forgotten where she was and as a result turned sharply hiding the letter behind her as she saw Bon Bon.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine." She said but. Bon Bon wasn't convinced.

"What's that letter about?" She asked noticing it behind Sunset's back, as Sunset hid the letter Bon Bon looked concerned. "Hey it's ok, we're friends right?" Bon Bon asked. "If what's in that letter is upsetting you maybe talking about it will make you feel better."

"I... I appreciate the thought Bon Bon but please... Just don't."

Bon Bon looked sad for a moment, almost disappointed, but respected her friend's decision. "Ok." She said. "We'll your bath's all ready, go ahead upstairs and just leave your clothes on my bed I'll put them through the wash and you can stay here tonight, my parents won't mind."

"Thanks Bon Bon." Sunset said smiling and headed upstairs, getting undressed and climbing into the bath.

A relaxed sigh escaped her mouth as Sunset relaxed into the warm soothing water. "Ahhhh much better," she said starting to relax, all her worries melting away, she cleaned up and exited the bathroom, wrapped in a towel while using another to dry her hair, feeling clean and refreshed. "Thanks Bon Bon that bath really." Sunset stopped in her tracks as she saw Bon. Bon holding the letter from her jacket.

"S-Sunset?" Bon Bon said feeling confused and a little worried.

"B-Bon Bon I can explain  I-it's not true I swear, I came home earlier and the locks had been changed and at note was on my door, I promise what it says isn't true." Sunset panicked as she tried to explain.

Bon Bon stayed quiet looking at the letter, then back at Sunset. "I... I believe you."

"R-really?" Sunset asked.

"Yes." Bon Bon said. "We'll about the drugs at least... But... Everyone at school heard from. RD about what happened in the hospital, some parts we're mostly sceptical about but... A lot of us are worried about your mental state Sunset."

"W-wha?" Sunset now looked a little frightened.

"Look... I just want you to know... What happened to Pinkie... It wasn't your fault." Bon Bon said putting a hand on Sunset's shoulder. Sunset sighed now feeling depressed again.

"Thanks for letting me stay Bon Bon, don't worry I'll find somewhere else to stay tomorrow."

"You gonna be ok?" Bon Bon asked.

"Yeah." Sunset replied. "H-hey um if it's alright with you I'm gona turn in for the night."

"Sure." Bon Bon  relied with a comforting smile. "There's a set of Jamie's on my bed for you, I'll bunk on the sofa." Sunset smiled, feeling she didn't deserve the kindness Bon Bon offered her, she was always so generous. Sunset often wondered if there was a scrap of anything other then sweet tender kindness in Bon Bon.

Sunset shimmer soon changed into a spare set of Jammies Bon Bon had given her, they were a bit small showing off her stomach as Bon. Bon was a size or two smaller then sunset but she appreciated the gesture so she didn't complain. The PJ's were blue with yellow candy stripes going diagonally across them, Sunset giggled thinking they were kind of cute.

She got into bed, snuggling down under the covers, Bon Bon's bed was soft and warm. "Goodnight." Bon Bon said her hand on the light switch.

"Night." Sunset replied closing her eyes, Bon Bon turned off the light and closed the door, leaving Sunset to get some rest.

The next day after breakfast, Sunset and Bon Bon walked to school together. A few people whispered as she passed by. "Hey isn't that Sunset Shimmer?" One girl asked. "I heard she pushed Pinkie off a bridge." A guy added "Oh my that's terrible." Another girl whispered but Sunset still heard it.

"Did you hear? They say she's gone coo co and is dosing up to try cope." Sunset turned to the source of the latest whisper and is hurt to see it was none other then Flash sentry, her Ex.

"I-I'm not crazy!" Sunset yelled at him a little hurt but not helping her case, everyone now stared at her.

"It's ok Sunset just calm down." Bon Bon said.

"Don't get to close. Bon  Bon. " Lyra said pulling her away.

"Huh?! Lyra!" Bon Bon said a little shocked, but then Lyra was the highly suggest able type.

"The whole school knows Bonnie she's lost it!" Lyra said. Then over the intercom as the whispers got out of hand becoming rather loud murmurs among the mass of students, vice principal. Luna's voice rang out on the intercom.

"Would miss Sunset Shimmer please report to Principal Celestia's office?" The announcement ended there and Sunset awkwardly made her way to the principal's office, hiding her face in shame behind the collar of her jacket as she attempted to pull it over herself to hide form the accusing stares of the student body.

"Y-you wanted to see me Principal Celestia?" She asked stepping into the office, the principal gestured to the seat infront of her.

"Yes please sit down Sunset." As Sunset nervously sat down Celestia spoke again. "Are you alright? You seem, nervous."

"U-uh I-I... I'm sorta confused at the moment." Sunset admitted,  Celestia wrote something down, a glint of disappointment in her eye dispute the calm look she kept on her face.

"And, how have you been?... After the incident I mean, I understand you've been evicted from your house. "

"H-who?" Sunset was cut off as Celestia continued.

"The police told me.... Now please, how have you been'?"

"I... I'm.... Scared. " Sunset replied hugging her knees, Celestia gave that same sort of sad, disappointed glint as she wrote something else down.

"And where are you currently staying?"

"Um.. I... " this time. Sunset didn't really have an answer. "Bon Bon let me stay at her place last night but.. I don't know where I'm gonna sleep tonight." Celestia wrote soemthing down again, this made. Sunset nervous. "Um P-Principal Celestia ? W-what're you writing?" She asked.

"Nothing." The principal said calmly. Then Luna came in and Celestia handed her the paper she'd been writing on. "Now don't worry about staying anywhere, until we can get this whole mess straightened out you can stay in the gym."

"Sister!" Luna said her and Sunset giving her shocked and surprised looks. "It is against school policy to."

Luna was cut off by  Celestia giving her a determined glare. "Luna, we will talk about this later, right now a student requires our support and I would sooner hand in my resignation then deny this girl the aid she clearly needs." Those words clicked in Sunsets head and she slowly got up backing away to the door.

'Help she needs ?' What's that mean? And what was Celestia writing earlier? These questions buzzed through. Sunset's head and she froze as her back pressed against the door and both. Principal and vice principal turned to face her. "My-you think I''my crazy." She muttered.

"No not at all Sunset." Celestia said trying to keep her calm, unfortunately Sunset didn't believe her.

She opened the door and ran down the hall bumping into multiple members of faculty and students, Luna and Celestia chasing after her, other teachers aided in the persuit as they watched their principal and vice principal chase after Sunset, in her panick and a split second decision sunset bolted left through the performing arts class, tripping over the leg to Professor Discord the drama teacher's desk.

Sunset was sent hurtling out of the window and she landed on her side clutching her leg. "Ahhh !" She gave a cry of pain as Celestia and Luna looked down at her out the window then hurried for the doors on the floor below them.

"Well, well, well what have we here ?" A familiar voice asked and Sunset looked up to see up an un identified figure wearing a navi blue hoodie and baggy purple tracksuit bottoms. "Looks like that was quite the nasty fall."

"Mhh y-you!" Sunset called out in pain. "You pushed.. Pinkie. NGHH !"

"Yeeeeah sorry about that, we meant to get both of you back for what you did to us buuut she was just so darn loud, we would've been caught." The figure said pulling her hood down to reveal herself as none other then Adagio. Dazzle. "Oh don't look so shocked." She said standing on Sunset's leg making it hurt even more, causing her to wince in pain. "Ooo my my I think it might be broken." She smirked. "How unfortunate... Well have fun Sunny, here.. This might help with the pain." She said slipping something into Sunset's pocket.

She was about to reach in and grab it but Adagio stopped her. "Ah ah ah, not quite yet, that is unless you want your little friend Vinyl to be next." Sunset put her hand down to her leg again clutching it in agony.  "Good girl.. See you around Sunshine." Adagio cackled as she walked off and only after she was gone did Celestia and Luna, accompanied by several staff members including. nurse Redheart's finally rush over to her.

A few hours later Nurse Redheart was bandaging up Sunset's leg, a crutch leaning on the wall next to her as she laid on a gurney I. The Jesse office. "There we go." She said as she finished. "That was quite the nasty fall, now you take it easy or that legs only going to get worse."

"Thanks Nurse. Redheart." Sunset said.

"Your welcome dearie." She said smiling, then. Nurse Redheart notice a bulge in Sunset's breast pocket. "Hm? What 's this ?" She reached for the pocket but Sunset clasped her hand over it.

"I-it's nothing just." Sunset remembered what Adagio had said and decided it probably best to not mention who''don't given her the mysterious package just up incase. "J-just something a friend gave me."

Nurse Redheart gave a concerned look. "I think I should take a look, please dearie you can trust me." Sunset took a deep breath and slowly removed her hand, letting her reach in and pull out the package, Nurse Redheart looked concerned, then she sighed. "I'll be right back ok?" She said, those words sent a chill down Sunset's spine.

"O-ok." She said and watched as Nurse. Redheart walked out.

About  no hour or so later Principal Celestia accompanied by two police officers came in. "Sunset Shimmer." She said in no concerned tone.

"Y-yes?" Sunset asked terrified.

"These officers just need to ask you some questions alright ?.. And so do I ?"

"Um o-ok." Sunset replied and Celestia and one of the police officers, a man by the name of Flatfoot sat down, the other officer standing outside as Flatfoot removed his hat.

"Sunset... Do you know what this is?" Celestia asked holding up the package?

"N-no." Sunset admitted, the question giving her the impression it wasn't a bag of sugar.

"Hm, that 's funny." Flatfoot said calmly yet sternly. "Cuz it was found by Nurse Redheart in your jacket."

"I'm-I've never seen it before I swear, a... a friend gave it to me." Sunset replied.

"Sunset... We know it's been hard on you... But you need to tell us what's wrong?" Principal. Celestia said.

Flatfoot explained the package Adagio had planted onSunset was full of a drug called Citalopram, an antidepressant that causes anxiety, paranoia and can be highly addictive, Sunset's eyes went wide and she looked terrified. Adagio had planned this, she'd probably done the same thing at her house and the reported it and the way she had been acting had probably only reinforced the idea she had been dosing herself with it.

"You're not in trouble." Flatfoot said "but we are going to have to take you into custody where pending a hearing you'll be given psychological treatment to help you get it out of your system and hopefully help you regain your sanity."

"I-I'm not crazy!" Sunset insisted.

"Sunset please calm down. Celestia said recognising the panicky state which had gotten Sunset into this position in the first place her and the officer holding her down.

"N-no! Let me go! Let me go!" Sunset screamed panicking, trying desperately to escape, ye tried to avoid touching her injured leg but Sunset's thrashing didn't make it easy for them.

At that moment Nurse Redheart rushed in and as the Principal band Officer. Flatfoot restrained her, Redheart injected Sunset with a mild sedative.

"No! No!... No... No." Sunset said quietly, feeling all her strength being sapped out of her, and eventually.. She blacked out....
