Leaving at Sunset

Youtube Video

Sunset brushed her hair aside as she put the magical book into her backpack, Pinkie uncontrollably crying in the corner of Sunset’s apartment

with Rarity leaning on a wall next to her and Applejack sitting at a desk. “Will we ever see you again!?”

Pinkie said through tears. Rarity helped her to her feet as she responded. “Come now darling she’s only going away for 2 weeks.”

Applejack stood up from the desk. “Stop being so over dramatic sugar.”

Sunset flipped the bag onto her back and began to speak. “Please just cheer up Pinkie, I won’t be gone forever. I’ll even bring back some souvenirs.”

Pinkie’s sadness turned to happiness as she heard souvenirs. Shooting over to Sunset, she happily hugged her jumping up and down.

“Oh thank you, thank you please bring back a few dozen cakes while you're at it.”

Sunset just laughed as she motioned everyone out of her apartment. "Pinkie it’s cake, nothing will be different.”

Pinkie got even more excited. “But maybe if I eat something from Equestria i’ll permanently get wings, or a horn, or maybe,maybe..”

Rarity grabbed her shoulders before could continue.“Calm down dear you’re getting a sugar rush again.”

Pinkie closed her eyes for two seconds and then reopened them seemingly coming back into reality. “Sorry bout that.”

With that she skipped out the door. Sunset couldn’t help but think about the similarities between both the worlds. The four arrived at the front of the school noticing the rest of the gang sitting on the steps, Applejack began to wave. “Hey ya’ll!”

Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Twilight looked up to wave back. “Hey guys we’re just waiting on you.”

Sunset extended a hand to Twilight.“Hey Twilight how's it going?”

She took her hand and was helped to her feet.“Oh well ynow, still getting used to talking to so many people, but I heard that you plan on going to..what was it called?”

Sunset started up the steps. “Equestria.”

Twilight nervously chuckled.“Right, going to Equestria. So what’s it like anyway.”

Sunset held her chin in thought. “Well everypony is really nice and everyone supports one another like family but to really get a great feel for it, you’d have to go there yourself.”

Twilight shrugged. “Worth asking.”

They all continued inside to attend their classes. After school the seven girls waited until sunset. Applejack laughed a little.“Wow Sunset, is it a coincidence that you, Sunset, are leaving at Sunset?”

Sunset couldn't help but give her an annoyed look.“Thanks for that really but where is Twilight?”

Rainbow pointed to the school. “She had to go do some extra studying so she told me to say goodbye for her.”

Sunset turned toward the portal and touched it just to make sure it was there. “Well guys it’s time for me to go.”

Everyone stood up piled in a group hug, after a minute, Rainbow dash broke the hug first. “Just make sure that my pony self is just as athletic as I am.”

Next was rarity. “Please if you could bring back some designs.”

Applejack just shook her head in disappointment. “Sugar you do know those designs are for ponies right.”

Rarity couldn’t help but turn her head away in embarrassment. “Well I still want to see, you never know I could adapt the designs.”

Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie both began to cry. Sunset hugged them harder. “Guys I told i’d only be gone for a couple of weeks.”

Fluttershy wiped the tears from her eyes. “I’m going to miss you so much.”

Sunset looked to Pinkie. “Why are you still crying?”

Pinkie wiped her tears as well. “I just can’t wait for the cake!”

They both walked back the steps. Sunset turned back to the portal and gave everyone a wave, they responded with a wave back. (Everyone) “Bye, see ya, please come back safe.”

Sunset put an arm through the portal.“Bye guys i’ll be back.” She stepped entirely through the portal and disappeared.

Pinkie broke the silence that followed. “Well what now?”

Rarity got up and started back into the school. “Shall we practice our latest songs then?”

Rainbow shot up, her guitar in hand. “Heck yea!”

They all walked inside the school to practice their songs. As the door closed the portal rippled a little be

fore finally settling.
