A Thunder On Sunset

Strike woke up, hearing the sounds of bleeping, and somehow, someway, it was even more annoying than her clock's alarm. She slowly opened her eyes, trying to adapt to the light on the room he was. Her head was hammering, something was digging on the flesh of her right arm and her throat was dry. Strike tried to recall the previous occurrences, as she remembered being raped by Flash, as well as Sunset was. She remembered being tortured for Sunset's food, and things like this. She shrugged off the memories and looked around the place she was. It was no surprise to her that she was in a hospital's bed.

"Hhhng... Water..." Strike moaned through the pain and tiredness on her body. The girl heard something like a book slam closed and heard some hurried footsteps.

"OH, THANK CELESTIA, you're awake!" Strike heard Sunset say, as said girl brought a water glass to Strike's lips. The storm girl drank the sacred liquid and looked up to her girlfriend.

"S-Sunset...?" She asked softly. "W-What happened...?"

"I brought you to the closest hospital... You've been blacked out for at least  three months... After this, I ran to the closest police station... But Flash somehow escaped. But don't worry, this time, I will protect you from that monster." Sunset said, smiling and running her fingers through the girl's messy hair.

Thunder smiled sadly and relaxed her tired and mistreated muscles. She sighed and closed her eyes.

"How bad is it...?" Strike asked, clearly without any hope upon her condition. Sunset's eyes grew wide, as she looked to the ground, sadly.

"... You're... You're..." Sunset stammered her words, not able to look her friend on the eyes. "You're... pregnant..." Sunset said, but made it almost impossible for Thunder to hear it.

"Sunset... I didn't heard what you said, and you're making me worried..." Thunder narrowed her eyes.

"Y-You've got... A almost healed broken ankle, some hurt hips... Obviously, you got a pretty bad exhaustion, and..." Sunset held her girlfriend's hand and sighed. "You're pregnant." She finished.

Strike's eyes were full of feelings. Anger, sadness, despair and disbelief. Tears poured out of her eyes, as she burried her face on her hands. What she was going to do with this child? How she was going to raise it? She had no idea. And the worst is that she was forced to have sex with the kid's father. He was a criminal, and he was on loose. All these things ran on the girl's mind, making her feel worst and worst.

Sunset's heart broke on the sight of the girl. She still had scars, and she still had signs of tiredness all over her hidden face. Sunset felt the courage raise in her heart, as she embraced the girl and whispered to her.

"Shhh... It's okay. It was not your fault. But you need to be strong right now... And you don't have to do this all alone. I will help you." The fire hair girl said, still locked in the embrace with her girlfriend.

"R-r-really...? Y-y-you... You're going to help me...?" Strike's eyes sparkled like the eyes of a child on Christmas day.

"Of course I will. I'm here for you, Thunder. Don't be afraid." Sunset assured to the crying girl. Strike smiled and leaned on the embrace, enjoying the warmth of the girl hugging her.

Six months later...

Strike and Sunset smiled at the figure in the baby's nest. It was a little boy with dark orange skin, blue eyes and purple hair, with a few dark blue strokes. The name of the kid was Spotlight Shine, a happy and playful boy. Sunset Shimmer insisted that the kid had to at least have Strike's name on his own name, but the storm girl insisted that he had the facial expression of an artist. After two weeks, they were freed from the hospital, as for Strike's bones were now healed and her muscles had been put back together again. They both learned later that the guilty ones for the whole Anon-A-Mis were Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. Strike wanted to strangle the girls at first, but she learned how to forgive them. Of course, after what happened to Thunder Strike and herself, Sunset didn't accept the friendship from the Rainbooms again. As for Flash Sentry, he was still frequenting CHS, and never went to jail for no proof to the crime. Both girls had the urge to kill him, but they would obviously go to jail. Oh, the justice. Anyways, everytime that Sunset saw Flash, she had an terrible anger attack (And with that, I mean she almost turned into a demon again). Good thing Strike was always there to calm her down. Flash would always tease both girls and even told his friends about the "Whores of Canterlot High School". Despite rumors, both girls ignored the jerks and lived their lives together, with their son, Spotlight Shine, whose never met his own father, only his two mothers. He grew up and became a famous actor on Hooveswood.

40 years later

Spotlight Shine entered silently on his mother's room at the hospital.

"Mom... Mom." He whispered, stroking her once black and long hair. "It's time for our visit..." He said, trying to wake up his sick mother. Her eyes slowly opened, as she smiled at her son.

"Oh, hi, sweetie... How is it going back at Hooveswood...?" She asked, with her voice already cracky.

"It's great, mom... But we have to go. It's time for our visit." Spotlight said.

"Oh, yes, just let me... Get to my wheelchair..." She said, sitting up to the border of the bed. Spotlight Shine smiled and helped his old mother to get on her wheelchair. They both got into Spotlight's car, and went to the old school, CHS. Spotlight Shine and his mother walked near the old crystal mirror in front of the school, as both of them entered the hidden portal. The both appeared on the great crystal castle, full of pony guards, as they respectfully bowed to Princess Twilight. Of course, Shine's mother had a bit of difficulty for such an act to a 68 years old mare. They both walked silently to the nearby forest, where they found a pile of stones, a photo of Sunset Shimmer and Thunder Strike together, hugging each other, with Spotlight Shine in their arms, and a few flowers. The stallion smiled at the tomb and placed a few flowers next to it. The old mare smiled and stood there, staring the tomb, singing an old, human traditional song.

"Muss I denn, muss I denn, züm stadtelë hinaus... Stadtelë hinaus..." The mare sang the first part of the song, chuckling and wiping away a few tears. "Spotty... Do you remember what this song says?" She asked to the dark orange stallion.

"Yes... You always sang this song on my bed time, mom." He said, smiling faintly.

"I must leave this state... I must leave this state... So do not cry when I go..." The mare sang on the tune of the song. "You should go now, Spotty... Mom wants to stay... And rest a bit..." She said, laying next to the tombstone. Spotlight knew what this meant. He looked down sadly and sighed.

"Yes, mommy..." He said, as he walked away, with his head low. The mare looked at her son and smiled, as she read the tombstone.

Here rests Sunset Shimmer

Dear friend, Student, mother and wife

Thunder Strike smiled and layed next to Sunset's tombstone.

"Ooh, Sunny... I wish you could see our boy... He's already an grown man... But don't worry. Soon enough, I will tell you everything... We'll be together again, Sunny..." The old mare coughed and smiled, as she closed her eyes. Forever.
