The bell signaling the end of 8th period rang, and students began to flood the halls. Talks of plans for after school clubs and plans for later in the day was spoken amongst the other students.

Sunset walks past the other students making her way to her locker. Reaching her locker, Sunset went through her things as she checked her notebook on what classes she had homework in. Placing her required textbooks in her bag, Sunset made her way down the hallway scooting past students and teachers. Reaching the school lobby, Sunset saw her friends all talking to each other near the entrance.

Applejack was the first to see Sunset approaching them.

“Howdy Sunset you going to join us at Sugarcube corners?” The apple farmer asks.

“You should totally come,” Pinkie shouted. “Today is buy one cupcake get two for free!” The sugar fanatic started to jump up and down excitedly.

“Sorry girls, but I got a lot of work to do tonight,” Sunset said with an apologetic look. “Maybe next time.” With that she said goodbye to her friends and made her way to the school parking lot. Pulling out the keys to her motorcycle she starts her bike. Putting on her helmet she takes a seat and starts to leave the school.

“HEY BEST BUDDY!”

Sunset’s whole-body twitches as the voice of a certain siren came from behind her. She musters whatever strength she could and forms the most strenuous smile of her life. She gets off her bike and turns around with one step. She almost fell off her bike because she found the blue haired siren right in front of her making her lose her footing and almost falling backwards.

“Jeez Sonata don't do that!” Sunset shouts with her hand above her chest.

“Sorry.” Sonata says in a sing songy voice. She then puts at hands behind her back and smiles at Sunset. “I had a great time at school today...well not everything was fun about it...I think i fell asleep a few times in each class.” Sonata began to ramble on what she did today adding the word “best buddy” a few too many times.

“Okay okay okay,” Sunset stops her before she went on too far. “Shouldn't you be going home right now?”

Sonata had a blank look on her face as if trying to process what was just asked of her. It only took a few minutes for the toaster in her head popped and her expression went back to normal.

“Oh yeah well I have to wait till later tonight to be picked up.” Sonata says happily.

It would've been easy to just leave it at that and go home. Besides she was someone who tried to take over the school, but then again so did she. If it wasn't for her friends, then who knows what would've happen to her.

Sunset lets out a sigh.

“Do you want a ri-” before she could finish what she was going to say Sonata was already on the motorcycle.

“Well let’s get going before it gets dark.”

Letting out a sigh, Sunset turns back around to get on her bike, but was stopped when she sees Sonata sitting on the front most seat.

“Uh…you’re going to have to scoot back so I can you know…drive.”

“Oh right!” Sonata slides back to give Sunset enough room to sit down in front of her. She pats the spot in front of her a big smile on her face.

Without saying a word, Sunset sits down in front of her and puts on her helmet.

“Alright, where do you live?” Sunset asks as she starts the engines again.

“Uhhhhh…well,” Sonata starts. “I don’t know exactly where it is, but I do know how to get there.”

Sunset was mentally slamming her head against an imaginary wall. Biting the side of her cheek, Sunset drove off with Sonata giving her directions on where to turn.

Saying that the trip was…troublesome would be an understatement, Sonata gave Sunset the wrong turn more than once.

“Oh wait…I think it was that way…or maybe it was uh…where’s the store where you buy protein pills?” The young siren asks.

Sunset stops the bike and jerks her head behind her. She tilts her helmet front and reveals a furious look.

Sonata gives her a sheepish look and points over at a familiar corner.

“Oh, wait hehehe,” Sonata tries to look as innocent. “It’s over there.”

Sunset lets out a grunt and rolls her eyes and starts her bike again.

Finally making the right turn, the two teens arrive to a rundown neighborhood. Many of the houses are losing their paint and most of the yards are covered in useless junk.

A worrying expression grows on Sunset’s face as she looks around.

“Oh oh oh! Over there that’s my house!” Sonata shouts pointing over Sunset shoulder causing the fiery hair girl to twist and swerve.

Averting a crash, Sunset pulls up in front of a dull brown house with a few of the windows covered in newspapers.

“Thanks, Best buddy!” Sonata says jumping off the bike she begins to skip towards the house.

Sunset just waves back in response as she watches her enter the house. Letting out a sigh, Sunset starts her bike again and gets ready to leave, but the feeling of something behind her stop s her. Turning around she sees that Sonata forgot her backpack.

“Well can’t just leave this here.” Sunset says as she leans the bike and grabs the backpack.

She walks over to the house taking careful steps from all the random scraps on the grounds. When she finally steps in front of the door she clicks on the door bell and waits.

Five minutes past and nothing she rings the doorbell again and nothing. Letting out a sigh, Sunset begins to knock on the door.

Finally, the door opens, and Sonata pops her head out her hair no longer in a ponytail as it fell behind her back.

“Oh hi,” she says with a smile. “I didn’t think you missed me that much?”

Sunset just lifts the bag causing the other girl’s eyes grow.

“Oh, hey I was wondering where that went!” Sonata grabs onto the hand Sunset was using to lift the bag. She was pulled into the house by Sonata’s unexpected strength.

She didn’t know what she should’ve expected, but to say that she was a little surprised was an understatement.

Compared to the outside, the inside of the house was rather clean and organized. In the Livingroom was a large couch and a foldable bed next to it and the kitchen was few feet away the counter was covered in takeout.

“So…this is your house?” Sunset asks.

“Yup, this is home sweet home.” Sonata walks over to the counter and picks up a takeout box and pulls out a piece of boneless fried chicken. Popping it in her mouth, Sonata offers the box to Sunset to which she quietly denied.

Well being that she was already inside it would be a bit rude to just leave. Sunset walks over to the couch and takes a seat and continues to look around the Livingroom. The sound of someone opening a door catches her attention causing her to look down the hall.

The only thing she saw was a door slightly open with someone’s arm popping out holding stacks of empty bowls. When placed on the ground the arm pulls back and the door closes.

As if on cue, Sonata walks down the hall with a small hum and picks up the bowls. She walks back into the kitchen and places them into the sink. Grabbing another box, she walks over to the couch and takes a seat next to Sunset.

“You sure you don’t want any it tastes pretty good.” Sonata says offering the box to her again.

“No really I’m fine,” Sunset says her eyes curiously staring down the hallway. “Hey who was that in the room?”

“Oh, that’s just Dagi.” Sonata says as she eats.

“How come she’s not out here?”

Sonata expression falls slightly, but she seems to have shaken it off.

“Well she just stays in her room all the time not sure why.” Sonata leans over to Sunset to whisper something. “Honestly, it’s terrible for the skin to not get any sunlight.”

Sunset nods her head and she look back up to stare at the hallway.

The sound of the front door grabs everyone’s attention and in comes a familiar purple skinned teen.

“Ugh I swear my boss is the worse,” Aria walks in with her eyes closed. “Sonata do we have any food left?” She looks up with wide eyes, but soon fall into a frown as she stares at Sunset. “What are you doing here?”
