Somepony to learn from
Chapter 3
Previous ChapterIt's safe to say that I had a really rough night last night. I spent most of it worrying about what happened last night. I know that it doesn't make any sense for me to worry about a total stranger like this, but I guess that's just my friendly caring nature.
I don't think that Celestia would know anything about a random Unicorn that I found on the street. Or, to be more precise, hiding behind a building.
But that reminded me of the curiosity that I had felt just last night.
Why did she not feel like telling me about herself? Why was she so nervous when I was asking her questions? And why did she run off in such a hurry?
There was a lot of questions running through my brain. But I knew that I couldn't spend all day worrying about a pony that I probably wouldn't see ever again.
Relax Twilight. You don't have to worry about this anymore.
Ughhh... Why did I have to sleep on the cold ground? I thought.
Right now, my back was aching from sleeping on the hard land. But now it was just occurring to me that I would have been much better off if I had asked someone if they had a spare bedroom or something and if they would be nice enough to let me stay there. Surely there had to be a nice pony somewhere that would take me in and also just so happened to live in Canterlot.
I admit that I would have gone to live with my parents. But then again, I had completely forgotten where they lived by now. And besides, I had no idea how they felt about me. And I didn't know what would happen if I showed up after... I don't know how many moons. It would be pretty sad if I returned to them shunning me.
But I refused to feel bad about myself. I didn't have to. And it didn't even matter to me if they didn't want me to live with them anymore. It's they're loss! Just like it was Celestia's loss when she denied me. And the only reason that I came back to Equestria was so I could get revenge. That seemed like it was going to be the only way to get me what I wanted.
And I had full confidence in my plan, as long as that purple pony didn't find me again. Because if she did, I had a feeling that would be nothing but trouble. I had no idea if this seemingly nice pony was friends with Twilight or not.
I'm getting the feeling that this plan of mine is too risky. I was getting the impression that it would be much easier if I gave up now.
I slapped myself with my hoof. Don't be silly Sunset. Your doing the right thing, and don't you dare think that it's wrong because it isn't.
And then I finally decided to get up. I was getting uncomfortable. And a little bit hungry too. Either way, I didn't plan on staying here all day. I was sure that I could get a clear shot to escape with. I was still pretty confident in myself there atleast.
So I slowly walked out into the open, while still being very cautious.
And sure enough, there was lots of other ponies around, just like it was yesterday. So far, today felt like déjà vu in that sense. But I would be lucky if I was the only one that was here again. I could only hope.
Don't get so comfortable with yourself, Sunset. Just keep your eyes peeled, and you'll be fine.
I kept looking around as I continued to walk around.
But apparently I wasn't paying as much attention as I thought I was, because I ran right into a door. And of course, that knocked me down.
"Oh! Are you okay?!" I heard.
I wasn't aware of who I was talking to right now. "Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks." I said.
"That's good. Hey... you kinda look familiar."
I still wasn't with it yet. "I... do?"
The pony in front of me nodded. "Yeah, somepony was asking about you just the other day. And you look like the description she gave. But I haven't seen her today. Do you want me to tell her that I saw you?"
And then it finally hit me. "Um... no. I don't think that's a good idea. Nopony knows I'm here, and I would like to keep it that way."
"Could I ask why?"
And then I started sweating again, just like yesterday. I hated random ponies asking me all these questions about why I was here.
"That's a little bit personal, don't you think?" I asked.
"Um... are you sure you're okay like you said?"
I nodded. "Yeah. It's just... I mean... I'm just... Is it hot out here all of a sudden?"
The pony looked confused. "No... It's not even Summer right now."
Hearing that didn't reassure me very much. And the sweating issue only got worse the longer I stood here.
"I think you need to get to a doctor. You are sweating really hard."
I shook my head. "No ma'am. I'm fine on my own." It probably seemed odd that I was completely rejecting any help right now, but if I was thinking straight, I knew that if I did accept this help, then that pony from yesterday was sure to find me.
"Why don't you stay?" The pony insisted. I was slowly starting to get angry because she wasn't giving up on getting me help.
I turned to face her, but I did get a little bit dizzy after doing so.
"I don't know what you're name is, but I can assure you, I'm fine."
That was the last thing that I remember saying, because then everything went dark.
