7, Barbara

At 10:00 AM Sunset was awoke by the doorbell, she stood covering herself with a gown, going commano after

refusing to wear same pants two days in a row, obviously on Flash Sentry's room pants weren't a commodity...

She then saw at Flash Sentry getting up, she felt all sorts of emotional and fuzzy deep inside, she let a smile

escape her lips, then gone to the door phone.

"Hi, we are from Canterlot P.D. is Sunset Shimmer here? Uhh... Mr Sentry?"

Sunset, picking on the voice simply said:

"Cooper? It's me Sunset!"

Her interlocutor replied.

"Oh good, we were looking after you since 7:00..."

"Yep... Why I have the pleasure I ask?"

"Sunset, we have news about your um... "Bussiness of yesterday" We may be after something."

"Ok, I'l open the door..."

Soon Cooper was up the 3rd Floor were Flash had his bedroom, Sunset Shimmer was already waiting at the door.

"Hi Agent Cooper, come on enter..."

"Please call me Barbara, we found some new details, Steve Hooves, the coroner got this after our visit"

She then produced a slip of photo paper, the image depicted a crumpled piece of paper lit by a blue source of light.

"This is a slip we found on the body's pocket, it was faded away, but the CSI got this under black light"

The pictured slip, had a ghost image from a screen capture of "The Anarchy Cupcake" a BBS site

that used to belong years ago to Pinkamena Diane Pie, the depicted issue was about a portal to

another world under CHS campus statue.

"Barbara, I know this, I have this whole Bulletin stored on a pendrive, if memory serves me well

it depicted how Pinkie managed to travel to another world were we where are there but as a sort of... Equines?"

Barbara Cooper was now truly amazed...

"Ms Shimmer, so you give some credit to Pinkie's story?"

"Barbara, please, call just Sunset, deal? " Sunset was now tripping on eggshells... "After what happened

on the CHS, with all that 'magic' the demon girl... I cannot deny it"

"You?" Barbara held a shaking hand of Sunset "I checked what transpired on the Fall Formal, you were the demon girl.

I can't fully understand it either."

"It's a delicate topic..."

Barbara simply said "I suppose..."

Barbara then just held Sunset by her left elbow, making Sunset flinch at first but eventually registering the fact as comforting.

Sunset kept going on, even if deforming the reality a bit. (She had to cover up her past as a Pony)

"On The Anarchy Cupcake Pinkie even found the portal opened each full moon..."

A puzzled Barbara replied "What do you mean?"

"Just that someone can cross it, travel to another world... This is amazing..."

"Sunset, forgive me in advance, but I need to be quite candid with you. I am here for a suspected murder and you keep skipping

on me."

Sunset was now in tears, real tears, she felt like she lost a friend.

Barbara now, dropped her fangs and hugged Sunset... "Please, tell me, you know who's the body on the coroner?"

"I-It's me! but how? It's from the future? From the past? I want to know! Is that much to ask for?" told Sunset more desolated.

Barbara took a couple of minutes blinking while trying to process the information.

"Sunset, I feel the truth on your words, on some, also I feel you are hiding something look, I want

to help you, but first you have to tell me Everything."

A partly composed Sunset ask Barbara to drive her to the campus entrance, after a couple of minutes they are before the

CHS statue, under it there was a quadrangular monolyth with 4 mirrors around it, before the monolith stood both Sunset Shimmer and agent Barbara Cooper. Sunset Shimmer kept explaining.

"... so, I left the Princess side and with the crown I crossed the portal in the mirror."

Barbara told her "I see, so that crown is also an "Element"? That turns this princess also in a Demon? "

Sunset quickly correcter her "no no no,  with Twilight happens the real magic, the elements of a true friendship can conquer everything."
