The beginning of the start
Ring, ring, ring. "Ugh," Sunset Shimmer sighed as she hit her alarm clock, "five more minutes." Her alarm clock was not one to reckon with, it kept ringing as it always did. Sunset sat up and looked at her calander, Monday the 17th. School... Sunset sighed. Her regular everyday schedule began; she took a shower, dried and brushed her bacon colored hair, threw on her normal pink tank top with a black jacket and an orange skirt, drank her normal morning coffee, brushed her teeth, put her boots on, got everything in her backpack, and then left her apartment. She went straight to school after this.
Canterlot high was her high school. Before she became apart of the rainbooms, she was power hungrey, she stole a crown from equestria, her birth home in an other dimension. She became a demon with this crown, and turned the whole school into zombies. But, she was defeated by the rainbooms, who afterwards took her in to be her friends. But, the school on the other hand was net to forgive or forget. She was hated by everybody, even the rainbooms sisters.
But that was her past, now it's today. She defeated the dazzlings, also power hungrey, who where close to beating them, but with Sunsets confidentness they where defeated. That was two months ago, now nobody thinks or really cares about the fall formal, where she turned into a demon. So there differences with Sunset where put aside.
She arrived around 7:15, as usual. She headed to her first class, geography. She hated geography. But all her friends where in it, so that was something she enjoyed. She watched as kids went to their lockers, chatted with there friends, some even shouted "hey" to her. She felt happy. She took a breath a fresh air and entered geography. The usual map bigger then the floor, and the twenty globes on Ms. Astrid's small desk, and her five friends waving her over to them.
"Hey," she said as she swung her backpack around her chair. "How's the movie?" Sunset was referring to project they where doing about the history of the Congo Basin.
"Great!" Rainbow smiled turning back to the laptops Rainbow had in front of her. "Scootaloo showed me this amazing editing website, so the movie looks awesome!"
"Good," Sunset grabbed a introduction script out of her bag. "We need to present this before we play the video tommorow,"
"Oh," Fluttershy looked down. She was not one to speak in front of a class.
"Don't worry Fluttershy, your on computer duty." Sunset sympathetically told Fluttershy. She gave her a shy smile and whispered thanks.
"Still no dazzlings, huh?" Applejack laughed. Sunset looked at the back, where Aria Blaze, a dazzlings sat, she wasn't there.
"No," Rarity said "probably embarrassed. I dont even think they are coming back."
"Anyway," Sunset hated talking about the dazzlings for personal reasons, "back to the-"
"Good morning students," Ms. Astrid walked in and put her bag on her desk. "I know that you know that we will be working on our videos."
Ring ring! The room went silent. Sunset looked down. Shit! My phone! She thought.
"Does someone have a cell phone in class?" Ms. Astrid crossed her arms. Nobody anwsered. "Okay. Anyway, quick announcement..."
Ms. Astrid carried on a Sunset hid her phone in her desk. She turned it on to see a text, from an unknown ID. But when she went to her messages, there was nothing. What? But it went off and said a message was sent!
"Sunset, you know better," Ms. Astrid took her phone out of her hand. "When you look down at you crouch and a blue light is on you obviously are on a cell phone. Detention."
"Shit." Sunset mumbled to herself. She crossed her arms and slumped down in her chair as some students giggled away at her stupidity.
* * *
"I swear, there was a message!" Sunset told Pinkie Pie as they walked to there next class: Science. "Then it was gone!"
"Probaly just sare something! I do sometimes!" Always cheerful Pinkie smiled. She topped at her locker and opened it.
"But... but!" Sunset stuttered as she leaned against the locker.
"Don't be sad about your phone, you'll get it back tommorow morning!" Pinkie slammed her locker shut.
"Pinkie, I don't care about the phone! I swear an unknown ID sent me something!" Sunset started waking.
"Unknown ID?" Pinkie caught up with her. "Yeah, I guess I didn't mention that." Pinkie gave her a blank look. "Ugh! I wish I screen shot it!"
"Who texted you?" Asked Pinkie as they got to science.
"I don't know, it's an unknown ID!" Sunset sat down at her desk she shared with Soarin.
* * *
"Did you hear?" Cloud Kicker whispered to Rainbow Dash.
"No," Rainbow replied as Rainbow gave Fluttershy a glance. The two girls where in science now, next was lunch.
"Mr. Ivy got fired!" Cloud Kicker told her.
"For real?" Rainbow almost laughed.
"Yeah, Soarin almost yelled it out in English," she laughed as she grabbed her science book.
"So who's the new teacher?" Questioned Fluttershy.
"He's coming now!" Cloud Kicker quickly turned away as a teacher entered the room. All eyes on him as he put down his bag.
"Hello students," the teacher said nicely, starting right at Fluttershy. He went silent for a moment. Then smirked. "Sorry, I'm in a way nervous, but anywho, I am you new teacher, Discord."
* * *
"I hate gym!" Rarity yelled. "And these clothe!There soooo unfashionable!"
"Grow up!" Applejack tied her shoe. "Plus, you could loose the weigh." Applejack patted Raritys sholder as Rarity gasped in shock.
"Damn!"Rarity walked away. Applejack laughed and then got up to catch up with her.
"You annoy me Applejack," Rarity crossed her arms. "really."
"I know," she laughed. "Hey Misty!"
"Hey Applejack," she replied walking over.
"You still in for tonight?" Applejack asked. "Babysitting Applebloom."
"You still paying me 10 dollars an hour?" She joked.
" Eeyup." Applejack adjusted her hat.
"See ya tonight!" Misty walked away.
Rarity sighed. "Applebloom is 12. She does not need a babysitter. I let Sweetie Belle stay home alone all the time, and I bet you money Scootaloos mom let's her aswell."
"You let Sweetie stay alone when she was 7. At a barber store. And Scoots Aunt is an idiot. She shouldn't leave her home alone. Especially with needing an inhaler every two seconds." Applejack said.
"Ugh. You really annoy me." Rarity said as a dodge ball hit her in the head. She fell back. "Ow"
"Ya okay Rarity?" Applejack asked.
"I guess, who did that?" Rarity rubbed her head.
"I don't know.."
* * *
"Today was off." Sunset said. The school day was over and they where all at Rainbows house doing homework.
"Yeah, my head still hurts." Rarity said rubbing her hand.
"Hey, at least it wasn't a shoe, like one time in soccer." Rainbow shook at the thought. "Poor Spitfire, hit her right in the head." Sunset giggled a little. "Hey! What was that for?"
"Nothing, just watching are video. Owh, it's gonna be the best!" Sunset smiled.
"Yeah, nobody can do better then us!" Pinkie yelled.
"Yay!" Fluttershy said her shy yay.
Applejack got up and picked up Tank, Rainbows pet, and grabbed a piece of paper she spotted under him.
"AJ? What ya doing?" Rainbow yelled getting of her bed and and taking Tank.
"Is this a note? Are you that irresponsible?" Sighed AJ as she opened it.
"Read it!" Pinkie encouraged.
"It says: Distractions lead to trouble, like you six. -F . What the hell is this Rainbow?" Yelled AJ.
"I don't know AJ! Just throw it out!" Rainbow was clearly creeped out.
"Probably a little crusader prank, who cares.'' Rarity said. "Cmon, let's rehearse.
* * *
"Hi students, today our group will present the Congo Basin and it's history! Enjoy!" Sunset stepped away as Fluttershy played the video. It was the next day, and the girls where presenting there project.
The six waited for the video to load onto the screen. It was taking a long time, but the rainbooms where patient. But it didn't load, the screen went black. "Huh?''
"We don't have all day." Ms. Astrid reminded. Sunset walked over to the computer and pressed a few keys. Then she became showed when the screen became rainbow colored.
"Fluttershy!, what did you do?" Sunset yelled.
"I'm sorry!" Fluttershy was crying. Sunset stepped back. Something was wrong, horribly wrong.
"Girls, stop this!" Ms. Astrid stood up and slammed her hand on the desk.
Loud beeping started happening, all the students blocked their ears, as Rainbow flashing continued. Sunset became scared, she unplugged her laptop, took it, still beeping, and threw it at the wall. It smashed into pieces. The lights came on, all eyes on the girls.
"Wow, that was something." Ms. Astrid said. "Now that you have no video, I'm going to have to give you, a zero on the project." The girls all looked down and sighed. Laughter started again. The six sat at the back, as Octavia, Vinyl Scratch, and Lyra played a music video on the Nile river.
Soon as classed ended, the six went to the lockers. Rainbow stopped them though.
"What the hell was that!" Yelled Rainbow dash pissed off.
Tears formed in Sunset Shimmers eyes. "I don't know, what the hell was that website Scootaloo gave you?"
"A virus." Fluttershy crossed her arms. All of a sudden, six different ring tones went off. The six all ripped out there phones. They all received a text from an UNKNOWN ID.
This game isn't just broken projects, it's bloody messes. -F.
The six looked at eachother. "The website wasn't a virus, F hacked your computer and ruined our project!" Pinkie said.
"F is targeting us?" Fluttershy asked, panic filling her.
"Yes," Sunset eyes filled with fear. "But who is F?"
Click click click. "So, when is this IP thing going to be done?" Rainbow boredly asked Sunset Shimmer, who slammed her head on the desk.
"No clue," she boredly responded. "I found the person who hacked, but it came up as an "Unknown ID. So now after this loads, I'll see what the IP number is. Then we can show the principles and life can be normal again."
"Why not call Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asked throwing her soccer ball at the wall of her bedroom. "And why do this on my computer?"
"This isn't a magical trouble," Sunset told her, "and if you forgot, I smashed my laptop."
"And how does F even have all our num-"
"I don't have all the anwsers!" Sunset yelled. Stepping was heard immediately.
"Crap, now may dad is coming." Rainbow sighed.
"We'll don't let him see the laptop!" Followed Sunset immediately after Rainbow finished her sentence. Rainbow grabbed and slightly closed it. Then, she found a huge throw to hide it behind. After that, she grabbed two daring do books and threw one to Sunset and then sat down and read right as Rainbows dad waked in.
He opened the door with a bang, shaking Sunset. "You two okay?" He asked considered.
"We're good dad," Rainbow responded. Her dad left and Rainbow got up and grabbed the laptop.
"What was that?" Sunset said, "I did yell, but barely." Sunset felt guilty right after she said that. Rainbows eyes became sad and her normal face turned to a frown. "You know what? Dumb questi-"
"No, no its fine." Rainbow sat on the bed. "A year and a half ago, my mom screamed like you just did, and my dad didn't pay attention. But later, her went upstairs to find her, her..."
This was the first time Sunset sare Rainbow cry. "Dead.'' She peeped out.
Sunset felt horrible. "I'm so sorry, you know it was tough to be honest leaving my parents in Equestria."
Rainbow wiped her tears. "No, I'm sorry. Here I am crying about my mom when your parents are in another dimension, both of AJs parent died, Fluttershys dad died before she was born, and Scootaloos dad is in the army and *sniff sniff* her mom left her so she's stuck with her Aunt.."
"Shhh Rainbow, "Sunset did feel a little pain about missing her parents. "It's okay."
* * *
"It still haven't loaded!" Rarity asked her the next day in 4th period Study hall.
"Nope." Sunset sighed. "Ugh, maybe if someone didn't have there GB filled off selfies, sport games and, a puzzle, a puzzle? Why the hell do you have a, meaning one, puzzle?" Sunset holder up one finger.
"Puzzles? What puzzle?" Rainbow Dash took her laptop. She click the 'puZzle' icon. A word puzzle came up. Something was wrong...
"Darling, why are all our names highlighted in red in this word search?" Rarity asked.
"This isn't," Rainbow clicked a few keys "guys, this isn't mine, what the fu-"
"Read the red at the bottom." Sunset pointed to the writeing.
"Smashing you computer won't get ride of me -F"
"Holy FUCKING CRAP!" Sunset raged very loudly as her face turned red. She heard Ms. Cheerilie gasp. Shit. She remembered her younger students where here in the library as well.
"Sorry." Sunset looked down in shame hoping she wouldn't get a detention. Luck was here's and Ms. Cheerilie walked away. Then came back with a clipbored. Her luck was shattered. Sunset was a student to accidentally get in trouble.
"Minding you language, maybe you three," she made eye contact with Rarity and Rainbow Dash, "would like to sign up for our blood drive? It would be very helpful for the students and let's just say Sunsets record." Cheerlie smiled at Sunset like she just 'told her off'.
I would bash you head right now. Sunset thought. Ring ring Sunset heard a phone ring. She froze. Are you serious Rainbow... you didn't mute your phone?
"I leave you three to this," Ms. Cheerilie dropped the clipboard onto their table and walked away. Rainbow looked around and immediately grabbed her phone as soon as the coast was clear. "It's a messge." Rainbow gasped.
"Read it! " Rarity shouted.
"It reads: A blood drive? Thaat's not something you should be doing now. Pass or that's F's next target." Rainbow paused in confusion.
"Is F helping us?" Sunset rubbed her forehead. "What?"
" -Speed." Rainbow finished. "Speed?"
"What the hell," Sunsets grabbed her phone and read. "Who's Speed?"
"F playing a trick on us?" Rarity suggest right as the bell rang. The girls started heading to there next class.
"Maybe not," Sunset thought.
"Girls!" Ms. Cheerilie yelled. She came to the girls at last. "So will you sign up?"
"Oh, Ms. Cheerlie I'm so sorry but we have a band gig in that day. Sorry." Sunset apologized.
"It's okay girls, have a great day, bye!" Ms. Cheerilie raced away.
"Darling, why did you say no? We have no band gig." Rarity asked.
"I think Speed is trying to help us," Sunset whispered. "For real."
* * *
"Who's Speed and who's F?" Applejack said confused.
"We don't know, they could be anybody basically." Sunset said. "And F could get us anyway now."
"And what in the world the that mean?" Fluttershy asked worried.
"Speed texted me," Sunset confessed, getting an angry look from the five girls. "And Speed told me that quote "F coould either hurt you at the blood drive or show Cheerilie the truth. Which one do you choose? -Speed." So, F has two ways."
"Double letters?" Pinkie said pointing it out.
"Coould?" Rainbow looked back at the previous message. "Thaat?"
"Speed is trying to send us a message. A and O. The beginning of it." Sunset said. Ding ding ding!
"The download is done! We can see the IP address!" Sunset pressed some keys with a smile on her face. That smile quickly became a frown.
"Unknown ID!" Sunset yelled at the top of her lungs. "UNKNOWN ID!" Tears formed in her eyes. "We'll never get through this alive. It's only an uphill battle from here."
Applejack put a hand on her sholder. "We'll get through this, together."
