In The Hospital

Why does my leg hurt so much?

"She's lost a lot of blood Shining Armor but her head will be fine. But her leg however won't be. Its broken and there are bruises all over her body." Said the doctor

MY LEG?! Oh yeah Flash broke it with the metal rod.

"There was a metal rod next to her I think she got attacked with that." The girl said.

Good guess Twilight. Wait Twilight? Twilight shouldn't be here.

"How DID you two find her?" The doctor asked

"Oh well I was picking Twilight up from Crystal Prep and Twilight thought she saw someone in the alleyway. " Shining started.

"Shining didn't believe me so I got out of the car and started searching then I saw her lying on the floor, I told my brother then we brought her here." Twilight finished

Wait Crystal Prep! That's the school from the city and Twilight was in Equestria during school time. This must be human Twilight!

"Well its a good thing that you found her. Seeing how severe her injuries are she must've been in a lot of pain for quite a while." The doctor said looking at Sunset Shimmer.

After a couple of minutes of discussing the injuries Sunset started to come around.

"Uh guys she's waking up." Twilight said pointing at Sunset.

Once Sunset was fully awake the doctor started asking questions.

"How are you feeling?" He asked getting ready to write down her answers.

"I've been better." Sunset replied looking down.

The two men looked at Twilight who shrugged.

Why are they both looking at me for? How am I suppose to know what she means by that.

"Do you want to call your family and tell them where you are." Shining asked.

"I can't." Sunset said not moving her head.

"Why?" Twilight asked.

"Because I don't have any." Sunset said trying her best not to cry. The five girls she once called family hated her and it wasn't even her fault.

"Uh, do you have anywhere to live?" Shining Armor asked.

Sunset shook her head. She use to live with Pinkie Pie when they became friends because Sunset use to live in a abandoned warehouse. Now she couldn't go back to any of them because Pinkie had thrown her out and the warehouse got crushed.

"Well don't worry I'll arrange something for you. In the meantime you and Twily can chat while I talk to the doc." Shining Armor said smiling at Sunset as he walked out of the room.

Twilight looked at her brother with a evil look then back at Sunset.

"Uh hi I'm Twilight." Twilight said not sure what else to say.

"Hi I'm Sunset Shimmer."Sunset said.

"I hope you don't mind me asking but how did you end up lying in the alleyway." Twilight asked.

"Well you already know how I got attacked." Sunset pointed out.

"Wait you could hear everything?" Twilight asked in disbelief.

"Yeah and I also heard you go to Crystal Prep. I use to go Canterlot High." Sunset said remembering what Shining Armor said.

"Wait aren't those two schools rivals?" Twilight asked remembering how her principal spoke of CHS.

"Yeah but I never really cared about all that rivalry nonsense." Sunset said.

"Me neither I'm more focused in my studies of human, canine cohabitation effects and implications. " Twilight said sitting down on the edge of Sunset's bed.

"Wow! You're really smart aren't you?" Sunset said amazed by how smart Twilight was but she didn't notice the blush she caused the young girl to make.

"You must be smart too." Twilight said nudging Sunset.

"Yeah but not THAT smart." Sunset said causing them both to giggle.

They were interrupted by a knock at the door. It was Shining Armor.

"Hey Twily can you come out here for a minute?" He asked looking nervous.

When Twilight got out of the room Shining Armor brought to a corner.

"Looked I just called the orphanage and they said that they're fully booked and I talked to Mom and Dad about what to do and they said to bring her home and they could take care of her until she's eighteen because according to her medical record she's 17 right now and her birthday is in June. That's only 6 months. But we need to know whether you're okay with this first." Shining Armor explained waiting for his sister's answer.

Twilight had to think long and hard about this. She didn't want some stranger in her house but then again Sunset didn't have anywhere to go. And perhaps her and Sunset could become friends.

"Ok she come live with us." Twilight said smiling knowing she was doing the right thing.

The Attack

Sunset sat in the snow thinking back to Anon-A-Miss. No one would believe that she was innocent. Not even the five girls who first showed her friendship.

It made her wonder, if Princess Twilight hadn't suggested it would they have become her friend?

Or was she just a charity case for them and they never really believed that she would become a good person.

She sighed and got up and headed through the alleyway to clear her head.

As she walked she got the sneaking suspicion someone was following her and before she could do anything a metal rod   hit her head causing her to fall on the ground.

She touched the back of her head and could feel the blood flowing through her head but luckily it wasn't enough to make her lose conscious. She turned around and saw a hooded figure standing next to her. But she couldn't tell who it was.

This time before the attacker could kick her she bloked it with her hand and kicked him to the floor.

Sunset got back up and before she had a chance to see who it was he kicked her chest backing her up to the wall.

It was then that her attacker took his hood off his head.

"FLASH?!" Sunset shouted in pure shock.

Rescue

Flash just stood there smirking.

"Why are you doing this?" Sunset asked.

"Are you really that dense? So I can stop you from ruining everyone's life. I'm going to beat you up so badly that you won't even be able to stand." Flash said before swinging the metal rod towards Sunset.

Sunset quickly ducked and tried to look for a quick way out. But because she wasn't looking Flash struck at her left leg.

Letting out a cry of pain Sunset fell to the floor. Flash started beating her all over until Sunset couldn't even move.

"You won't get away with this. My friends will come and find me!" Sunset shouted with blood spilling from her mouth.

"What friends? The same ones that hate you?" Flash smirked as he saw Sunset's expression drop.

He was right. She had no one who cared for her anymore. She was alone again. As the realization hit her Sunset felt like crying.

"See ya Sunset." Flash said hitting the rod on Sunset's leg again causing the red and yellow haired girl to let out a squeak of pain. Then dropping the rod near her and walking away putting his hood back on.

Sumset tried getting up but her injured leg wouldn't allow her to.

After what felt like an hour Sunset gave up on trying to move.

At least now I won't bother anyone with my life. Wow this is the one thing good thing I'm doing for everyone.

Sunset felt her conscious fading. But before she could completely fall under she heard footsteps.

"Shining there's someone here!" A worried voice said that sounded extremely familiar.

"Let's quickly take her to the hospital she's losing a lot of blood." A person who Sunset guessed was Shining said.

As she was carried to the car Sunset fell unconscious.
