"Sunset Shimmer, how come you're the only one whose not dating someone?" Rarity asked one of her best friends one day.
"I'm not interested in any of the boys here. That's all it takes Rarity." Sunset Shimmer shook it off.
"But aren't you a little, uh how do I put it? Lonely?" Rarity rubbed her neck awkwardly.
Sunset shrugged, not really caring that much.
"Okay, if you say so. But don't blame me if you start getting lonely." Rarity left Sunset at her locker while she gathered things up.
But just as Sunset Shimmer was finishing up, she gets bumped into and ends up on the floor.
"What's the big idea?! Why do I always have to be the one landed on!" Sunset muttered.
"Sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going and..." the boy that had landed on top of Sunset paused his sentence.
Sunset was a little confused at the fact this boy just fell on top of her and doesn't even apologize!
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to fall on you. But did anyone ever tell you that you've got beautiful eyes?" once the boy said that, Sunset blushed.
"Who are you anyway? I'm Sunset Shimmer." Sunset introduced herself, the boy's eyes sparkled at the name.
"I'm Comet Tail, nice to meet you Sunset. I'm new here so when I bumped and fell onto you, I was trying to find my first class." Comet shook Sunset's hand which felt good in his opinion.
Comet showed her his schedule and told him his class was over in the west hall, which was where she was headed.
So, they walked to their first class of the day, just barely making it before the bell.
"You're late, Ms. Shimmer!" Mr. Donkey grumbled, Sunset quickly sat down in her seat.
Comet looked around, confused on where to sit.
"Ah, you must Mr. Tail, you'll be sitting next to Ms. Dash in the back." Mr. Donkey pointed to the back, to where a girl with a rainbow hair and blue skin was sitting.
Comet did as he was told and Mr. Donkey started the lesson.
Despite that he should've been listening, he was doodling a pic of Sunset Shimmer.
After 45 minutes, the bell rang releasing the class.
Sunset was gathering her stuff up as she was leaving the class and Comet ends up surprising her.
"Comet, don't startle me like that! Now, what do you need?" Sunset put her backpack on her shoulder and Comet followed.
"Oh, I was just wondering if we could hang out later?" Comet raised his eyebrow attractively.
"Um, thanks for the invite but I've got friends and they're expecting me to be around. Maybe after school?"
Comet didn't like hearing that but wasn't giving up.
"Why don't I just sit with you and your friends? Besides, I don't know many people yet."
"Comet, go mingle at lunch. Other then that, all my friends are GIRLS." Sunset was starting to get creeped out.
Comet and Sunset separated but heading to their different classes.
When it was lunchtime, Comet got into the lunch line.
But he didn't notice a purple girl with dark purple hair and magenta streaks.
"Omph! Ow, why does this happen to me every single time?" the girl said, noticing Comet after he bumped into her.
"Oh, sorry mah lady. I'm Comet Tail, I didn't see you as I got into the line."
"It's alright, I'm Twilight Sparkle. One of the smartest girls at this school other then Sunset."
When Comet heard the word 'Sunset,' his ears perked up.
"You know Sunset?! She's just amazing, beautiful, and awesome what am I talking about?" Twilight giggled at the rambling.
As the line continued on, Twilight figured it out that Comet was new but had a "connection" with one of her friends.
As they exited the line, Comet went to an empty table and sat by himself.
Meanwhile, Twilight sat down with her friends.
"Hey Twilight, what took so long?" Rainbow Dash asked her.
"Ran into someone called Comet Tail." Twilight said as she sat down, not noticing Sunset was now focused on her BFF.
"Did you just say Comet Tail?"
"Oh yeah, when we were talking, he got excited when I said your name as well." Twilight said before taking out a book.
And with that, Sunset disappeared looking for Comet.
And while she was, Bulk Biceps, one of the biggest athletes in the school, came up to her.
"Hey Sunset, you, me: and Sugar Cube Corners at 5:00?" the manly figure asked her.
"For the last time Bulk, I'm not going out with you. One: I barely know you and two: you're not my type."
"Then what is your type, Sunny? You're a real attractive girl you know." Comet Tail said from behind her.
"Oh, hi Comet. I was just looking for you. Comet, this is Bulk Biceps. Bulk, this is Comet Tail." Sunset said nervously.
"Pleasure." Comet held his hand out but Bulk just stared at it like he was crazy.
"I'm good, but Sunny, just remember to consider it." Bulk walked away, leaving the duo.
For a couple minutes, Comet and Sunset stood there quite awkwardly.
"Man, this is getting so awkward. Why does this always happen?" Sunset muttered to herself, Comet not hearing.
"Why were you looking for me? I mean, I'm not really the most interesting boy at this school."
"Er, my friend told me you were sitting here by yourself so I thought...." Comet put his finger to her mouth.
"Don't ruin the moment." Comet started leaning in to kiss her but Sunset put her hand on it.
"Um, Comet? We just barely met a couple of hours ago. And plus, there are much more attractive girls at Canterlot High."
And with that, Comet's relationship with Sunset Shimmer was off to an itchy start.
It's been about a week ever since Comet began to stalk, erm, hang out with Sunset. And boy, is it bothering her! Especially considering there's a dance that's coming up and she doesn't want him to ask her to it. "What's wrong with you? You've got an admirer." Rarity asked her friend when she noticed Sunset frowning. "Do you have boys stalk you and have to worry about asking you to the dance?" The fire-burn haired girl lifted an eyebrow at her.
"Actually, no. I like the attention I get, it's quite adorable." Rarity tosses her hair as Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy sit down at their cafeteria table. "Hey, you guys got dates to the dance yet?" Rainbow asked the three before taking a bite of her bowl of fruit. "I haven't been able to, speaking of, where's Pinkie Pie and Applejack?" Fluttershy kind of whispers as well as talks. "Pinkie is having a meeting with the dance committee and Applejack's helping out Granny Smith in the kitchen." Sunset explains before Soarin Skies, Rainbow Dash's crush but doesn't want to admit it, sits down beside Rainbow. "Hey, Rainbow Dash." Soarin greets with a blush.
Twilight sits down at the table after getting her lunch and gets creeped out by Flash Sentry, a boy she knew liked her for some reason. "Lemme guess, Comet Tail?" the purple girl with glasses asked. Sunset Shimmer nods and bangs her head on the table while Rarity tries to stop her by putting a cushion underneath her friend's head. "Wow, you really hate this kind of attention this much? And Soarin, can you stop looking at me like that!" Dash said to the two people. "Yep, I may have dated Flash in the past but I hate this attention alright?! I don't take this kind of thing well." Sunset lifts her head for a moment before putting her head back on the cushion.
"'Ey ya'll. Did any of ya 'ear 'bout the "Love to Ball Out" dance yet?" Applejack sits down beside Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. "We heard alright, Soarin is trying to ask me," Soarin blushes hard after hearing that. "And it's a yes, you can go now." Soarin leaves the table, still blushing hard. Rainbow turns back to her friends who give her a dirty look of "Seriously?" The rainbow haired-girl just shrugged and continued to eat her fruit bowl while her friends rolled their eyes. "Girls, there are several boys begging me to go to the dance with them! Some of you need to find some!" Rarity said with a sassy tone. "Rarity, some of us are just fine with chilling out at home, as well as having a sleepover." Sunset said to their flirty friend, not realizing someone was behind her.
"Um, hi? Would you make me the happiest "man" in the world and go to the "Love to Ball Out" dance with me, Miss Shimmer?" Comet was on his knee with a bouquet of lilies in hand. Sunset was blushing and smiling at the same time as everyone in the cafeteria heads turn towards the two of them. "Comet, I don't know what to say." Sunset could hear Rarity holding her breath despite the fact that she's turning purple. Sunset noticed that everyone in the room was holding their breath, not just her friend.
Not able to take the pressure, Sunset ran out of the cafeteria, soon crashing into her pink partygoing BFF. "Hello, S. Shimmer!" Pinkie waved excitedly with a big grin on her face. But that grin soon faded when she saw Sunset's face and wanted to give her concern. "What's the matter Sunny? Is it Comet Tail again?" the happy pink girl asked her friend. "Yes, I guess my attitude gave it away." she sighed. "Actually, it's the bracelet you're wearing that says 'Comet's Girl'." Pinkie points to Sunset's wrist. Sunset looks down at her left wrist and screams. "MY STALKER SLIPPED THIS ON WHEN I WAS DISTRACTED BY HIM ASKING ME TO THE DANCE!" Sunset yells while Pinkie covers her ears before she went completely deaf. "Ah think somebode' needs to take a rodeo chill p'll." Applejack said while she sneaked up behind her with all of her friends.
"It's not that, Applejack. It's just that, I'm not used to having an "admirer". Mainly considering I've never got any admiration at all before." Sunset explains calmly, before banging her head against a locker. "You mean, you've never had anyone that showed any feelings for you EVER! Then they must really big idiots." Comet Tail said from behind her. "Oh, hi Comet." Pinkie waved at him, Sunset's eyes grew wide to the point they felt like they were gonna pop outta her head. "Hi, Pinkie. Can I talk to Sunset alone, please ladies?" They nodded and left. Before they left, Rainbow Dash eyed Comet and gave him a death glare. Having to make Applejack and Twilight to drag her away.
"So, what is it?" Sunset asked as they went outside by the horse statue. "Sunset, I simply apologize for seeming MEGA creepy. It's just that, you're so beautiful that I tend to go completely bizarre whenever I get the chance to see you." Comet began. "I don't mean to creep you out it's just a bad condition I have whenever I like a girl. The only difference with you is the fact that I'm in love with you. I even drew this for you." the guy gets down on one knee and sets down his backpack. He takes a sheet of lined paper and gives it to her. Sunset turns the sheet over to see a beautifully sketched picture of her. Underneath the picture is a tiny note that says "You're my one and only Sunset. ~Comet Tail."
Tears began to come to Sunset Shimmer's eyes and she hugs Comet. "What is this for?" he asks very awkwardly before returning the hug.
"Yes, Comet. I'll go to the dance with you."
As the days went by, Sunset started to notice that her new friend was slightly stalking her.
For example, sometimes it ended up her having to hide in the girls' bathroom in order to get away.
One time, Sunset had to get Rainbow Dash to glare at him to go away.
But today, he was acting, well..... different.
"Hey Sunny, wanna sit with me at lunch?" the usual question popped up, for that Sunset groaned.
"Sorry Comet, but I've got to make up a test during lunch today." Sunset said, straight out.
"Then, I'll be waiting for you outside the door."
Sunset Shimmer bit her lip out of worry and not sure what to do, after all, this guy was pretty much stalking her.
"Um, don't ya think that's a lil' creepy?" the southern belle, Applejack, said from behind her friend.
"Oh, hello AJ." Sunset fist-bumped Applejack's fist.
"Ya ready for band practice today?" the southern girl asked her best friend.
"Yeah, but I've got a stalker to deal with." Sunny whispered.
Applejack nodded totally agreeing with her friend, Comet has been stalking all of them and it was getting bad.
"You're part of a band? May I join?" Sunset and AJ bit their lips.
But Comet wasn't always hanging around Sunset and her friends though, he fit in well with Flash and his band as well as well Micro Chips with his nerd friends.
But despite that, Comet spent his time stalking the reformed villain and her friends.
Sunset just realized that, Comet didn't know about Daydream Shimmer or Sunset She-Demon.
As much as she hated the memories, it could get Comet to leave her alone for awhile.
