Sunset Shimmer again awoke groggily. She had stayed up late the night before working on her plan to seduce Flash Sentry. However, she still needed to prepare herself and eat breakfast. An exhausted Jennifer stirred as Sunset got herself dressed.

"Hey Sunset, can ya keep it down?" asked Jennifer.

"It's already morning." answered Sunset bluntly.

"I got into in at four." noted Jennifer.

"Really?" asked Sunset surprised.

"I was...working." answered Jennifer.

"Cheap whore." thought Sunset.

Jennifer yawned and stretched.

"Well I'm up now." sighed Jennifer.

Sunset felt a ping of guilt.

"It's fine. I'll nap latter." shrugged Jennifer.

"Good." said Sunset.

"So, what's up?" asked Jennifer.

"No." answered Sunset.

Sunset thought for a moment.

"Actually, I have made friends with a boy at school." noted Sunset.

"Oh. Tell. Tell." requested Jennifer eargerly.

"His name is Flash." began Sunset.

"What's he like?" asked Jennifer.

"We just chatted a bit." answered Sunset.

"Oh, well I hope things go well." said Jennifer.

"Actually, I was hoping you could give me pointers." requested Sunset.

"No problem." said Jennifer.

Jennifer thought for a moment.

"Well, you could drop hints." proposed Jennifer.

"What kind of hints?" asked Sunset.

"Love letters." answered Jennifer.

"What would I write?" asked Sunset.

"Romantic poetry." proposed Jennifer.

"That's a good start." said Sunset.

"Try giving him gift." continued Jennifer.

"Like chocolates." guessed Sunset.

"Yeah." confirmed Jennifer.

"I don't have much money." noted Sunset.

"Same." sighed Jennifer.

Jennifer chuckled sadly.

"Anyway, there are other ways." said Jennifer.

"I should fine a way to make money." mused Sunset.

"That can be easier said than done." warned Jennifer.

"I'm not going sell my body like a whore." thought Sunset.

"Honestly, the thing I suggest is just be honest." stated Jennifer.

"You mean, just tell him?" asked Sunset.

"Yes." answered Jennifer.

"Blunt, but it is effective." said Sunset.

Sunset Shimmer finished preparing.

"Thanks Jennifer. You where really helpful." said Sunset.

"No problem." yawned Jennifer.

Jennifer laid back down.

"I'm going back to sleep. See ya latter." said Jennifer.

Sunset rolled her eyes and left.

"That whore is useful." muttered Sunset.

A cocky Sunset Shimmer left the abandoned factory. She washed up at the nearby YMCA then had breakfast at school. Flash didn't sit and eat with her this morning. True to her word, Trixie kept spying on Sunset as she ate breakfast. The first half of the day passed as Sunset awaited for lunch. Once lunch arrived, Sunset went to the cafeteria and got her food. She looked around and saw Flash. Sunset walked over to him with her lunch.

"Um...hello Flash." said Sunset meekly.

"Oh hey." replied Flash warmly.

"I was wondering...can I eat with you?" asked Sunset.

"Sure." answered Flash.

Sunset smirked to himself as she sat down. They then both ate.

"So...how are you doing?" asked Flash.

"Okay." answered Sunset.

"That's good." replied Flash happily.

"Such an easy pawn." thought Sunset.

"Have you had any run-ins with Gilda?" asked Flash.

"No." answered Sunset.

Sunset noticed Trixie glaring at her.

"She won't give up." muttered Sunset.

Flash glanced over and noticed Trixie.

"Don't mind Trixie. She's full of herself." said Flash.

"I noticed." replied Sunset.

Sunset noticed Trixie talking to two younger boys.

"Those are her lackeys Snips and Snails." revealed Flash.

"I need to knock her down a peg." thought Sunset.

Sunset then decided to focus.

"So...what do you like to do?" asked Sunset nervously.

"I play guitar." answered Flash.

"Maybe you could teach me." proposed Sunset.

"That'd be awesome." agreed Flash.

Sunset put on a fake smile.

"I'm glad I met you Flash." said Sunset.

"Me too." agreed Flash.

Sunset pretended to be nervous.

"I was wondering..." began Sunset.

"What?" asked Flash.

Sunset was "unable" to speak.

"It's nothing. Forget it." answered Sunset quickly.

Sunset looked away, hiding her grin.

"It's cool." replied Flash.

Sunset took a deep breath.

"I was wondering if we could be friends." said Sunset.

Flash smiled at this.

"That'd be awesome." said Flash.

Sunset smiled, but not for the reason Flash thought.

"I'm so relieved to hear that." sighed Sunset.

"Did you have a lot of friends before coming here?" asked Flash.

"No." answered Sunset honestly.

"I'm happily be your friend." said Flash.

"Thank you." said Sunset.

Sunset peeked over at Trixie who was still watching her.

"She wants a show I'll give her one." thought Sunset.

Sunset pretended to stand up, but she "tripped" and fell into Flash. The other students began to murmur.

"Are you okay?" asked Flash.

Sunset rubbed the back of her head.

"I just tripped." answered Sunset.

Sunset looked at Trixie who was livid.

"Hope you liked that bitch." thought Sunset.

Rumors quickly spread about Sunset and Flash. This was exactly what Sunset had wanted. These "humans" where not that different from ponies. Sunset finished the day and left the school. She wandered around for a bit before returning to the abandoned factory. The other homeless people there where going about their business. Sunset returned to her residence where Jennifer was.

"Hey Sunset." said Jennifer warmly.

Sunset put on a fake smile.

"Hello." said Sunset.

Sunset sat in an old chair.

"How was your day?" asked Jennifer.

"Good." answered Sunset.

"How did things go with that boy?" asked Jennifer curious.

"Fine." answered Sunset happily.

"Details." requested Sunset.

"We sat at lunch and talked. That's it." said Sunset.

"Awe." sighed Jennifer disappointed.

"I did trip into him." noted Sunset.

Jennifer had a Cheshire Cat smile.

"Oh knock it of." requested Sunset playing.

"I didn't expect you to jump him in the cafeteria." said Jennifer.

"I tripped." stated Sunset.

"Sure." replied Jennifer sarcastically.

"She's no better than those idiots at school." thought Sunset disgusted.

"Well, I'm sure you didn't exactly object." noted Jennifer.

"True." admitted Sunset.

Jennifer grabbed a red purse.

"I'm sure you'll win him." said Jennifer.

Jennifer pulled out a small rectangular box.

"I know it." added Jennifer.

"What's that?" asked Sunset.

"My cigarettes." answered Jennifer.

Jennifer pulled a cigarette out and put it into her mouth.

"Do you mind?" asked Jennifer.

Jennifer pulled out her lighter.

"No." answered Sunset.

As Jennifer lit her cigarette, Sunset looked at the carton.

"Parliament." noted Sunset.

Jennifer took a drag of her cigarette.

"They're my favorite brand." shrugged Jennifer.

Jennifer took another drag of her cigarette.

"Can I try?" asked Sunset.

"I'm not sure you should." answered Jennifer.

"Come on!" demanded Sunset.

Jennifer relented and gave Sunset her cigarette.

"I'm never smoked on of these for now." noted Sunset.

"Put it between your fingers, put it up to your lips and take a drag." explained Jennifer.

Sunset did so and choked.

"Oh shit." coughed Sunset.

"It sucks the first time, but you get used to it." said Jennifer.

Sunset gave Jennifer the cigarette back.

"Just to let you know, I'm going out working tonight." revealed Jennifer.

"I'll be fine on my own." said Sunset.

Jennifer took a drag of her cigarette.

"Just try not to get killed." muttered Sunset.

Jennifer giggled and pulled a kitchen knife out of her purse.

"It's not much, but it works." said Jennifer.

"At least your prepared." mused Sunset.

Hours passed by. Sunset stayed at the factory while Jennifer departed to walk the streets. Over at Canterlot High, one room had the lights on. Principal Celestia was tackling the mountain of paperwork she was facing. This was one part of the job she hated. Celestia stopped and shook her wrist trying to work out a cramp. Her phone rang and Celestia, grateful for the distraction, answered.

"Hello." said Celestia.

("Hello.") said a familiar female voice gently.

A stunned Celestia needed a moment to compose herself.

"Is that really you?" asked Celestia.

("Indeed it is.") answered the mystery woman.

"It's been a long time." noted Celestia.

("Indeed.") agreed the mystery woman.

"I'm so glad to hear you again." said Celestia.

("Same, but I do have a reason to call.") revealed the mystery woman.

"What is it?" asked Celestia worried.

("I will be coming to Canterlot High School.") answered the mystery woman.

"Really?" asked Celestia surprised.

("It's already been decided.") answered the mystery woman.

"Well...I look forward to seeing you." said Celestia nervously.

("I wanted to tell you in advanced. Goodbye.") said the mystery woman.

Both women hung up. Celestia got out of her chair and looked at the moon in the sky.

"So...we shall be reunited my sister." mused Celestia.

A/N: And surprise revelation. There was a reason I hadn't mentioned Luna prior. Also, Sunset's conflicts with Trixie aren't over just yet. Next time, Luna enters the picture. Please review.
