Sunset Shimmer gulped as she sat down at the lunch table. She had promised to babysit the Crusaders for Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash. She really figured she'd be able to, as she didn't have anything scheduled. But, when Principal Celestia said she'd be the perfect student liaison for Canterlot High when visiting Cloudsdale High, and it just happened to land on the same day that she had promised to babysit the Crusaders.

And, being the liaison for Canterlot High was a once in a life-time experience, one that Sunset was completely honored to be asked for. After all, after destroying the school entrance, and turning into a she-demon, she had done a complete overhaul, and, most students got along with her now, which made her happy. But, she was upset with letting her friends down. She just hope they’d understand.

“Are you alright darling?” Rarity asked, causing Sunset to look up from her food. “You look upset about something.”

“Well,” Sunset began, twirling her spoon in her mashed potatoes, “something has come up.”

“Like what?” Pinkie Pie asked, who was turning her mash potatoes into a castle.

“You see, Principal Celestia got a hold of me yesterday.” Sunset explained. “She said that she’d like me to be the student liaison for Canterlot High when she visits there.”

“And, why are ya upset b’ that?” Applejack asked.

“Well, it’s the time frame.”

“What’s the time frame?” Rarity asked.

“It’s… Saturday.” Sunset said, reluctantly.

Rainbow Dash looked up. “Like Saturday, as in, this Saturday?”

“Yeah.” Sunset acknowledged.

“Well, did you accept?” Rarity asked.

Sunset sighed. “That’s a yes.” Rainbow said, bluntly.

“Well, you see,” Sunset began, “this is a big opportunity for me. Ever since the Fall Formal, I haven’t been able to do many school programs, and it is understandable. So, when Principal Celestia offered me this position, how could I refuse?”

“By saying no?” Rainbow Dash said, folding her arms.

“Well, what about you?” Sunset said, “After all, once you found out Scootaloo was homeless, you took no time adopting her, and yet, you rarely spend time with her!”

“I have a life too, ya know!” Rainbow exclaimed, slightly rising from the table

“And yet, I’m not allowed to have one?!” Sunset shouted back, doing the same as Rainbow.

“Ladies, ladies, stop bickering!” Rarity shouted, “You almost adults, act like it!”

Sunset and Rainbow glanced at each other, and sat back down, a look of shame on both their faces. “Sorry Rainbow.” Sunset said.

“I’m sorry too,” Rainbow replied, “I shouldn’t have been selfish.”

Applejack then cut in, “Look, the problem is, this is too short notice, who can we get to babysit by Saturday? It’s only three days away!”

“And, for an all day time, no less.” Rarity added.

Sunset thought for a moment. “I think I know someone.”

“Who?” Rainbow asked.

Sunset smirked. “Take a guess.”

The other girls’ eyes widened. “No.” Rainbow said.

“Out of the question!” Rarity exclaimed.

“You’re kiddin’ right?” Applejack asked.

“I’m not joking.”

“I don’t want him around my little sister!” Rarity said. “Who knows what crazy thing could happen with him there.”

“Same here!” Rainbow said.

“An’ me!” Applejack concurred.

“What other choice do you have?” Sunset asked.

The girls exchanged glances, before Rarity said, “Alright fine, but, make sure we see him on Saturday first, I want to set some ground rules.”

“Me too.” Rainbow and AJ said, simultaneously.

“Okay, makes sense.” Sunset said.

“But, where should he babysit them? Ah’ don’t want ma’ sister in that machine of his.” Applejack said.

“He can babysit them at my house.” Sunset offered. “He’s familiar with it.”

“Okay, I say that works.” Rarity said.

“So, eleven o’ clock, Saturday morning?” Rainbow asked.

“Sounds good.” Sunset agreed, “I have to leave at noon. I’ll give him call after school.”
