The darkness within: The Demons return.

Sunset stood in the middle of the cafeteria looking at the young woman that she had fallen head over heels for. Her eyes locked onto to Fluttershy’s they showed only happiness with but, an ever slight showing of concern as well. Standing next to Fluttershy was a young man in his mid teens he had long purple hair back length if Sunset had to take a wild guess.His hair was draped over his right shoulder in a very loose ponytail tied with three bands to it. Deep ocean blue eyes and a scar across his face. He was also wearing all black Sunset guessed right away that this was the person that Luna had told her about. The scar Sunset noticed when she focused on his face was jagged running down from the bridge of his nose to his right cheek. But it was his eyes that caught her attention most of all. He had eyes that showed someone who openly looked for danger just as Sunset was about to reply to Fluttershy she heard the new student reply to her.

“Hello there I am Victor Van helsmoon and you must be the person that is supposed to show me around this school?”.

Sunset held out her hand to shake his before pulling her hand back in slight fear she sensed something about this person. Something that wasn’t quite...natural, something that was more supernatural about him. His eyes were deep ocean blue yet in the schools light of the cafeteria they looked almost amber as if they were...glowing. Fluttershy a little weary at first looked between the two of them she noticed Sunsets hesitation. Not wanting her to come off as rude Fluttershy immediately stepped next to Sunset and gently nudged her in the side with her elbow whispering into Sunsets ear.

“Go on, shake his hand he isn’t going to bite you”.

Sunset blushed she quickly shook his hand replying to him with a soft smile on her face.

“S..sorry it is just a force of habit with me. Yes I am the person that is supposed to show you around the school today. Uh tell me Victor where is your sister?”

“Hmm, I think she might be over at the tables where a young woman with a brown stetson is serving some apple fritters”.

Sunset was about to take a step towards the tables that Applejack was indeed selling her famous apple fritters at when she and everyone else heard a loud squeal. Everyone stopped what they were doing instantly as all eyes suddenly fell to Rainbow Dash. Rainbow much to everyone's surprise was standing on top of one of the many caffettiera tables holding a microphone in one hand and a piece of paper in the other. She held the microphone up to her mouth saying loudly into it as she read from the piece of paper in her other hand.

“ATTENTION ALL CANTERLOT SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLERS AND STAFF. I AM RAINBOW DASH THE MOST AWESOME STUDENT HERE AT CHS”.

"Yeah we know who you are Rainbow get on with it *already*!” A voice called out from somewhere in the crowd of students.

‘Ahem’ Rainbow cleared her throat “AS I WAS SAYING” she looked around to make sure no one else was going to interrupt her. “I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I AND MY FELLOW CLASSMATES ARE REALLY SUPER STOKED TO WELCOME THE TWELVE NEW STUDENTS TO OUR SCHOOL. SO WITHOUT ANY FURTHER DELAY CAN I HAVE THE FOLLOWING STUDENTS COME UP TO THIS TABLE SO WE CAN ALL GET A GOOD LOOK AT WHOM IS COMING TO THIS AWESOME SCHOOL”.

While Rainbow read off her student list Sunset felt a slight tugging on her right sleeve looking to her right she saw that it was Fluttershy tugging on her coat sleeve. Fluttershy gestured towards the doors leading out of the cafeteria and Sunset nodded to her replying to Victor with.

“Victor will you please excuse me and Fluttershy for a few moments? She and I need to...talk”.

“Anna Von Crestlor”. Rainbows voice boomed out from her microphone.

“But, of course besides I just heard my sister's name being called and I am sure that I will be up there in a second too. So you two go on now she and I will catch up with you in a little while”.

Fluttershy led Sunset towards the doors of the cafeteria and out into the hallway. Taking a few steps from the double green doors she looked at Sunset replying to her softly in her angelic way.

“I want to know something Sunset but, I don’t want to ask you out here. Is there someplace that we can...talk more privately that you can think of?”

Sunset tapped a amber finger to her chin replying to Fluttershy with a steely gaze in her teal colored eyes.

“Yes I think we can use the music room for our talk Fluttershy. Although why do you want to talk now? I mean can’t this wait until after school? Or, after we get done with showing the other students around?”

“No this can’t wait any longer Sunset I am...well...I’m not happy about something. But as your friend I need to do the right thing and give you a chance to clear this up before it gets to the both of us”.

Sunset swallowed hard while she followed Fluttershy towards the music room. Getting there a few minutes later she opened the door for Fluttershy who simply shook her head and gestured for the red and yellow head girl to go in first. Sunset pursed her lips together letting out a soft but, noticeable sigh as she stepped into the room. The room was small but, not to small that it felt crowded to the right of the door was Sunsets guitar. To the left was Rarity's keytar hanging on the far back wall of the music room. Standing in main part of the room where Pinkies drums and Applejacks bass guitar along with Fluttershy’s tambourine hanging up on a hook to the left of the drums. Sunset heard a soft ‘click’ from behind her when she entered the room. Turning around she saw that Fluttershy was standing with her back against the door.

“Fluttershy what was that click that I just heard?” Sunset replied with a slight gulp.

“It was me locking the door you see Sunset I don’t want you to run away from me again until you tell me why you did that to me in yesterday. Besides that wasn’t very nice of you to run off like that. I thought I hurt your feelings and you didn’t really give me a chance to say anything to you. So now you will be in here with me until you agree to tell me why you ran away yesterday”.

Sunset looked down at her boots for a few seconds she could almost feel Fluttershy’s eyes on her with a soft sigh she replied to her in a half stammering voice.

“I..I ca..can’t..tel..tell you F..Fluttershy.”

“Why not?”

“You wouldn’t understand”.

“What wouldn’t I understand? I wouldn’t understand that I must have somehow in someway upset you which caused you to run off yesterday”.

Sunset closed her eyes turning her back to Fluttershy. Sunset let out a soft sigh she walked over to Pinkies drums laying a gentle hand on them. They felt cold and smooth to the touch she ran her hand over the rim of the rack tom drum taking in all the beauty of Pinkies drums. Letting out a sigh of her own Fluttershy walked over to her she too laid her hand onto the drums replying to Sunset with.

“Please Sunset just tell me what caused you to run away yesterday. If it is something that is personal to you I’ll keep it just between the two of us. Besides it wouldn’t be very nice of me to spread your secrets around campus now would it?”

“Please Fluttershy just drop it I don’t want to talk about it.”

“No” Fluttershy stared deadpan at Sunset “I can’t just drop this you hurt my feelings and I want to know why”.

Sunset turned heading for the door only to be cut off when Fluttershy jumped in front of her holding her arms out glaring at her. Sunset had seen this glare from her once before she didn’t like it then and she didn’t want to look at Fluttershy now while she was glaring at her. Swallowing hard Sunset tried again for the door only to stop short when Fluttershy used her stare on her. With her jaw quivering a bit and sweat beginning to form on her brow Sunset finally broke down fluttering out only two words to Fluttershy as tears came to her eyes.

“I’m homeless”.

Sunsets eyes went wide we she realized what she had just said to Fluttershy. Looking at the custard colored pink haired girl in front of her she closed her eyes and turned away from her.

“Your...your homeless”. Fluttershy’s eyes went just as wide as Sunsets had only a moment ago. “Is that what I just heard you say?”

“Yes” Sunset replied fighting back her tears.

“How long have you…..”

“Three years this will be my fourth year”.

Sunset folded her arms over her chest letting out a stuttering gasp as she tried to think of what to tell Fluttershy. Here was the girl that she had fallen in love with yet in her mind she felt she couldn’t be with her. While trying to find the right words to say she failed to see Fluttershy coming up behind her. It wasn’t until she felt the warmth of Fluttershy's skin on her hands that she actually realized that Fluttershy was hugging her from behind. She could hear Fluttershy softly trying to sooth her.

“Shhh” Fluttershy whispered into Sunsets ear “I’m here now there is no need to worry any more Sunset I’ll take care of you”.

Sunset ended the warm embrace she had gotten from Fluttershy wiped a few tears from her eyes and looked at her with sad eyes.

“I need to tell you something yet I feel that you might think of me as a fool”.

“I wouldn’t do that Sunset besides that wouldn’t be very nice”.

Sunset walked over towards the door before Fluttershy could get there she watched as Sunset placed her back against the door itself and slid down to a sitting position. Looking up at Fluttershy who, stood over her Sunset again wiped away a few tears before she replied to her. She cleared her throat while Fluttershy began to take a seat next to her.

“I can’t believe I am about to say this to you but, before I do I want you to know that I will fully understand if you don’t feel the same way”.

“I understand Sunset please tell me”.

“I…” Sunset looked over at her guitar case then back at Fluttershy “am in...love with you”.

The reaction she got from Fluttershy was not one that she expected at all. Fluttershy pulled Sunset into a warm embrace placing her lips against hers kissing Sunset passionately. Sunset fully melted into the kiss. The two remained locked into each other's lips for almost a good five minutes before they heard the lunch bell ring out signaling that Lunch period was over. The two of them stood up exited the music room but, before Sunset could leave the area Fluttershy grabbed onto her one last time planting her lips into Sunsets fully and completely.

“Well it's about damn time”.

Ending the kiss shortly after hearing the words coming from thier right Fluttershy and Sunset both blushed deeply. Turning to their right when they heard the voice next to them both Fluttershy and Sunset saw Rainbow, Pinkie, Applejack and Rarity standing in hallway. Along with the twelve students they were supposed to be showing around. Pinkie was bouncing up and down like a yo-yo her hair flopped back and forth. Rainbow was beaming a really big smile Rarity simply nodded to the two of them and Applejack tipped her hat back each of their friends had smiles on their faces. Principal Celestia was just coming down the hallway when she saw the crowd of students gathered in the hallway. Fearing that a fight was breaking out she quickened her pass only to stop short when she saw Sunset and Fluttershy kissing each other. Luna was also coming down the hallway as well  was pleasantly surprised to see Sunset and Fluttershy ending their kiss together to the cheering of the crowd in front of them. Sunset and Fluttershy both looked to be rather embarrassed as Luna heard Sunset say.

“I think we better get to class before this goes any further Fluttershy”.
