Lavender Bliss' best friend had died in a car accident. Ever since then, she has shunned any thoughts of friendship. But then she comes face to face with her dead friend at her new school. But this isn't her Sunset Shimmer..

Lavender Bliss thought that her friendship with Sunset Shimmer would last forever. But a car accident takes her friend away and she falls into a state of depression and resents friendship.

But when she goes to her new school, Canterlot High, she comes face to face with her dead friend. Except.. This is someone else entirely. This is not her Sunset Shimmer. She is so different in how she acts and how she treats Lavender. Soon she is taken into a world where another world exists, where she may actually consider friendship again.

But friendship only ends in pain and suffering. It is not magical, it is not something that lasts forever. Not ever this Sunset Shimmer can convince her that friendship is worthwhile.

This story was edited by The Fairy Editor and Nonagon.

This story takes place after The Friendship Games and I thought of it while watching Sci-Twi and Twilight Sparkle at that last scene.

Prologue

“Sunset Shimmer, slow down!” The teenage girl let out a panicked screech,  gripping her door handle tightly. The car zoomed down the highway, its headlights cutting through the dark of the night.

“I’m only doing ninety, Lavender, chill.”  Sunset Shimmer smirked over at  the girl curled up in the passenger seat, trembling.

“In a ninety zone, you moron.” Lavender shot  a quick glare before returning her gaze to the road.

“Lav, it is ten at night and we are on a road that is not the highway, we’ll be fine.”  Sunset chuckled, brushing off her friend’s protests as if they were nonexistent. Then a soft smile replaced the smirk.  “Hey, thanks for inviting me to your place, Lav.”

“No problem at all. Hey, when we get to my place, do you wanna go and have a movie marathon of those ‘Screech’ films?”

“Those films are sooo bad! But I guess they are supposed to be bad.”

“The actress isn’t that pretty, I’m not sure why guys rave over her..” Lavender scoffs, rolling her eyes at the thought. “I mean, she is  a terrible actress.”

“You’re just jealous because your parents won’t let you into drama this year.” Sunset chuckled softly and shook her head, obviously amused by her friend’s rantings.

“They have sticks shoved so high up their asses I'm surprised they can even walk..”

“Oh, feisty. You know, maybe if you would just be like that a bit more in school, maybe you wouldn’t be the school’s scapegoat.” Sunset turns her head and looks directly at Lavender. “I mean, you could eve-”

“Sunset, look out!”

At that moment, a car’s headlights filled their vision. And then everything went black.

Struggling to regain consciousness, Lavender let out a groan, feeling a pain all over her body. She opened her eyes, everything before her turned out blurry,  and horror took over. The car was flipped over in the ditch, the windows shattered and  the car smashed badly. She hung from her seat, the seatbelt dug into her skin and kept her from slamming into the roof. But something caused ice to creep up her spine.

“Shim..?” Lavender stared at her friend, whom was completely limp and unconscious, hung from her seat, resembling a rag doll. A faint dripping had been heard inside the vehicle.  Lavender, in a state of panic, unbuckled her seatbelt, and slammed onto the roof of the car. She struggled with her door handle, finding that the stupid thing had been stuck, due to being smash so badly.

Questions swim through her head as she started to tug off her jacket, laying it over the edge of the shattered windshield, so the glass would not cut her and make things worse. With one final glance at Sunset, she tried to escape.

Lavender crawled out of the car, careful for the shards of broken glass. Her gaze grows fuzzy and the pain in her head throbbed to the point tears made her vision worse. The pain caused her hand to slide, which made her fall onto her side. She let out a cry of pain as the glass dug into skin and muscle in her upper arm. Her breathing got heavier as she forced herself up, careful not to make the wound any worse.

She dragged herself out of the car, her left arm had been going numb due to the pain and the blood loss. She crawled away from the badly damaged car and then over to the driver’s side.  She shakily stood up, her vision went blurry as she did.  Using her good arm, Lavender tried to open the wrecked door, but it refused to budge. Tears of frustration built up in her eyes as she stared at Sunset Shimmer, who hung limp from her seat, helpless.

As fear for her friend gripped at her tightly, she pulled her cell phone from a back pocket of her jeans.  The screen was severely damaged from the crash, so she could hardly make out the the numbers as she clumsily dialed 911.

“911, what is your emergency?” Hearing the man’s voice at the other end filled Lavender’s heart with a bit of hope. She drew in a shaky breath, wanting to be heard nice and clear.

“M-my friend and I were in an accident, a re-really bad one.  We collided with another car, but my friend, she’s unconscious and I can’t get her out!” The words had burst forth in such a frenzy when she noticed Shim’s head had moved just a bit.

“Is the other driver okay as well? Where did the crash take place?”

“W-we are on Chariot Road, I-I d-don’t know about the other driver, but please hurry!” She stumbled a bit, the pain tearing through her head, which caused her to sit down to keep from falling. “I-I can’t get her out, the car was flipped!”

“We’re sending someone now, honey, they’ll be there soon.” The operator tried to call the teenager down, who had been near hysteria at this point.

Lavender shoved the phone in her pocket after hanging up, then crawled over to the car, keeping a close eye on Sunset.  As she pressed her ear against the window, she tried to hear for something. Any signs of life from her friend, anything to give her hope. But she heard nothing.

Later on, she caught sight of lights in the distance, heard a siren wailing, which echoed in the area. Lavender watched blankly as an ambulance pulled up, as paramedics made their way over to her.  Her vision kept getting blurry, the sounds of their voices sounded fuzzy and far off. One of the paramedics, a young man, dragged her away from the wreck, but has not missed the teen’s badly damaged arm.  He wrapped her in a blanket, but got to work trying to get the glass out of her numb arm.

Lavender barely paid attention as the fire department arrived, when a few police cars arrived.  She heard the muffled voices, the blurred images of the people around her.  When her vision finally cleared again, she saw the paramedics putting Sunset Shimmer into a black body bag.

She instantly wished she could be in one as well.
