Author's Note

Hey what’s up everyone? I decided to start a bunch of fanfiction shorts for my well-known trilogy, Mobians and Equestria Girls. This is going to be a bunch of shorts of things that happened before, after, and during the three stories in the entire Trilogy.

This short happens during M&EG 1.

Don't forget to leave a review on the shorts.

Short #3

Characters: Sunset Shimmer and Dark Steele
Short #4
Am I Alone
Sunset POV
Rainbow’s House

Sunset was at the crack of the door and smiled at the two speed demons, 'Glad Rainbow has someone to love.' She thought. But, she then frowned, 'I just wish I can find someone who can love me as well.' Sunset left, leaving the two alone.

She went into her room and laid on her bed, “Sigh. Because of how awful I was in the past, barely anyone will even look at me.” She then buried her face in her hands, “If only there was someone who could relate to me somehow.”

“Sunset Shimmer.” A ghostly voice echoed.

“Huh? Who’s there?” Sunset asked.

Then she saw it. In her mirror, stood two figures. Her reflection, and a hooded figure with its back turned to her.

“Who are you?” Sunset asked.

The figure began to walk away, fading away fast.

“No wait! Don’t go!” Sunset cried reaching out to the mirror, only to touch the solid glass.

Suddenly Rainbow Dash opened the door and peaked in, “You ok Sun?”

Sunset only shook her head and smiled, “Yeah, I’m fine. I just saw something.”

“Ok. Breakfast is ready and on the table.” Rainbow said, “We leave for school in ten minutes.”

Sunset nodded, and Rainbow left.

Then Sunset looked back at her mirror.

The figure had disappeared.

“Who was that in my mirror?” Sunset asked herself.

She went downstairs and ate her breakfast quietly.

Sonic, Rainbow, and Sunset each got into Rainbow’s car, and headed for school.

Sunset was sitting in the back alone, staring out the window, when she suddenly felt tired. And then she fell asleep.

Sunset’s Dream

Sunset awoke on the Canterlot High school grounds, but the air was foggy, “Where am I?”

“Sunset Shimmer.” She heard.

She turned quickly and saw a silhouette of the figure she saw in her mirror, “Who are you?”

“You are not alone in this world. You are not the only one suffering from a dark past.” The figure said. The wind began to pick up and shift the fog.

The figure looked at Sunset, and she could only see his dark blue eyes, and a frown upon his face, “We will meet soon.”

Then the fog began to thicken and the dream began to fade.

“Wait! I never got your name!” Sunset said.

But it was too late, because she was being woken up.

Real World

Sunset’s eyes shot open when she felt someone shaking her and celling her name.

“Sunset! Are you awake? God, you’re a deeper sleeper than my grandmother.” Sonic said.

“Why did you have to wake me? I was about to… I mean… I was having a nice dream.” Sunset said.

“Um because we’re at the school.” Rainbow said.

Sunset sat up and saw they were indeed at the school, “Oh. Sorry for falling asleep in the car.”

“Eh it’s cool. You must have not slept well last night.” Rainbow said.

“Something like that.” Sunset said.

“Well Sonic and I have PE first period. Looks like you’ve got a free period.” Rainbow said.

“Yeah. I’ll probably just walk around the school until the next period.” Sunset said.

“Ok. Send us a text if you need anything.” Rainbow said as she and Sonic walked inside the school.

Shortly after, Sunset walked into the school, thinking about the mysterious figure she kept seeing.

As she wandered through the halls, students kept giving her nasty glares and growling at her.

She sighed, “I’ll get used to it.”

“Hey, do you mind getting off me and my boys’ hang out spot, pal?” Sunset heard a guy say outside.

She walked over to a window and saw three guys standing around a dark blue haired teen. He wore a black leather jacket over a blue shirt, and on the back of the jacket, was a strange dark blue gem surrounded by a blue flame, and a cursive D in the middle of the emerald. He also was wearing light blue rings, with spiked black gloves.

Sunset could only see the back of the teen, but something seemed strange about him.

“Hmph. I think I’d rather stay here.” The teens said.

Last chance pal, and then me and my boys are going to send you to the moon.” The middle boy of the gang said, pushing up his sleeve.

“I just told you. I’m not moving.” The dark blue haired teen said.

“Fine then. Boys, let’s show this punk what happens when he steals our hangout spot.” The gang leader said pounding his fists.

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you.” The other teen said, his voice sounded darker.

“Heh. You think you can scare me, worm?” The leader said, “Pathetic. I’m gonna pound you into the...”

But before he could finish, the dark blue haired teen had swiftly ran up to the leader and punched him in the chest, knocking him down.

“Gah!” The leader said, then he looked up at the teen and growled, “You’re regret that.”

The other two gang members ran at the dark blue haired teen from opposite sides.

“Hmph. Fools.” The teens said.

He swiftly moved and the two gang members collided with each other, knocking heads.

“Ow ow ow ow.” They both complained. Then they looked at the dark blue teen, then they yelped and got up, running away scared.

“What the? Guys get back here! We’re not afraid of this punk!” The leader said, then he turned and gasped.

The dark blue teen was staring back at the leader, “Leave now, and you won’t be hurt anymore.”

The leader got up and began running away, “I’m gonna make you wish you were never born!”

“I already do.” The teen said as he began to turn around.

Sunset gasped.

It was the same teen from her dream. And the one that had appeared in her mirror.

The teen then saw Sunset and whipped his head in her direction, causing her to gasp and duck.

Then he realized the girl was the same one that had that small bit of darkness in her soul still.

Sunset began to panic. She then got up and ran off back down the halls.

Dark saw this and realized she had seen him fight the three gang members, “Oh great. Now she thinks I’m a monster. And here I was hoping I could make one friend. But no. I’m my usual stupid self and scared her away.”

Then Dark saw two punk looking teens watch as Sunset ran down the halls. They looked at each other and smirked evilly. Then they ran after Sunset.

Dark’s eyes widened, “Uh oh.” He ran to follow the two.

With Sunset

Sunset had ran down the halls, but eventually slowed down to catch her breath.

‘Why was she seeing that boy in her dreams? He was so violent to those boys.’ Sunset thought to herself.

Suddenly she saw a guy come around the corner and stood there, smirking at her.

Sunset went to turn around, but she saw another guy blocking the hallway, “H-Hey. What gives?”

The first guy began to walk closer, “Hey there hot stuff. Want to go have some fun with me and my bro here? We could ditch this stupid school and go at it as long as you want, baby.”

“Ew gross. Get the hell away from me.” Sunset said trying to get around one of the guys, but he only blocked her path.

“Oh I wasn’t offering. I was demanding.” The first guys said. He grabbed Sunset’s arm and spun her around to face him. He then went to kiss her.

“Uhg get your face away from me!” Sunset said punching the guy in the gut.

“Oof.” He groaned.

Sunset tried to get away, but the second guy tripped her, causing her to fall forward.

“I’m gonna make you scream for that.” The first guy said flipping Sunset over. He grabbed her cheeks and went to kiss her again.

“Hey! What do you think you are doing!?” A dark voice yelled.

The two guys and Sunset looked at the source of the voice and saw the dark blue haired teen from before.

“Excuse me pal, but can’t you see we’re in the middle of something?” The first guys said.

“You better back the fuck off of that girl now, or I will send you to deepest depths of darkness.” The teen said. His aura was growing darker.

“Uhu. Butch, take care of him.” The first guy said.

The bigger guys walked up to the teen and smiled. He swung his fist, but missed when Dark ducked.

Dark then proceeded to pummel the guy with a barrage of fast punches to the gut.

When Dark finished punching the guy, he flicked him and he fell down.

The first guy looked between Dark and his fallen friend, then he scampered off Sunset and ran for his life.

Dark’s aura began to dim, and he looked at Sunset, who was still terrified on the ground. He held out his hand for her to grab, “I won’t hurt you.”

Sunset hesitated at first, but she took her hand into Dark’s, and he lifted her up off the ground.

“You ok? Did they do anything to you?” Dark asked.

Sunset shook her head.

Dark nodded and turned his back to Sunset, “I’m sorry you have to see me fight that way. I just lose control when I get into a fight.” Then he began to walk away.

“Wait.” Sunset said thrusting her hand out onto his shoulder.

Dark stopped and looked back, “What?”

“Who are you?” Sunset asked.

“I’m Dark. Dark Steele.” Dark said.

“I’m Sunset Shimmer. Thank you for helping me. I don’t want to imagine what those two boys would have done to me if you hadn’t showed up.” Sunset said.

“Anytime. I see someone doing something wrong, and I need to act.” Dark said. He went to walk away again, but Sunset grabbed his shoulder again.

“I know this will sound weird, but I’ve been seeing you in my dreams. Do you think that means something?” Sunset asked.

Dark knew this was no coincidence, but he couldn’t reveal that he was from another world to this person, “Nah. It’s probably just a weird coincidence.”

“Oh… Ok… Sorry for bothering you.” And with that, Sunset walked off, looking a little saddened.

Dark felt guilty for having to lie to Sunset. And he knew there was something different about her, because every time he saw her, he felt a feeling he rarely felt… Happiness.
