I woke up to the sound of arguing, I sighed. This was going to be a long day, that damned Saiyan was here. I walked out to see him chasing Bubbles. I began to practice Kaioken, I thought the first step I needed to see was how far I could take it. I activated my Kaioken and it wasn’t too bad I pushed it to 2 x my base power and I screamed, it burnt so bad, I collapsed to the ground. I tried to stand only to fall on my ass. I then saw the Saiyan approach me. I snarled “Go away, I don’t need help from a Saiyan.”

He said “Don’t be like that I’m not like my brother, I was raised on Earth, I didn’t even know what I was until he arrived!”

I snarled “Raditz, he was going to kill my g.. best friend.” I can’t believe I almost said that, did I really think of her that way. It has been 6 months of spending time together and having nice dinners in the dream but really, should I let my time with her in the dream be the basis for that ?

He said “Well, my name is Goku I hope we can be friends.”

I sighed I didn't like the idea of befriending a Saiyan but I should give him a chance I wouldn’t have any friends if they didn’t give me a chance. I said “Very well Goku, I’ll try, I have done some terrible things in the past though, I’m not sure you would like me if you knew my past.”

Goku asked “What could you have done for me not to like you?”

I whispered “I took over an entire school.”

He asked “What?”

I shouted “I treated everyone around me like dirt, I blackmailed, lied and cheated then I turned and angry she-demon trying to over the world which I came from!” I burst into tears, I had never told anyone else that outside of my friends.

Goku said “You’re not like that now, you regret what you have done and that’s what matters.”

I smiled as I said “Thanks Goku, maybe we can be friends.” I stood up my strength starting to return. I said “Well I better get back to training.”

Goku said “Yeah, I should too.” I started to charge up my energy when Goku asked “Your energy feels different, what is it?”

I replied “It’s magical in nature, that’s why.”

Goku said “You should practice some magic then.”

I said “I didn’t think about that.” I remembered one of the simple spells, a fireball is a good place to start. I charged up enough magic and the ball glowed in my hands, I fired it into the air where it dissipated, I practised for hours. Until, I found a spell I was really eager to try, I chanted “Sun’s chains come forth.” I watched as several chains came out of the ground powered by a mix of sunlight and my magic. I remembered it had a slightly different incantation for use on living things.

I practised all day and when night fell I arrived in the dream again. I saw Pinkie and she asked “Do you think we can win?”

I replied “We have to Pinkie for our world’s sake.” I gave a slight peck on the cheek and sighed.”

She asked “Sunset, what’s wrong?”

I said “Are we really going to work Pinkie, I just don’t know where we are at?”

Pinkie asked “Sunset, I love you with all my heart but do you, you kiss me and we talk about so many things we enjoy but is it love?”

I said “I don’t know, I enjoy these little dinners but I’m unsure of where we stand.”

Pinkie said sadly “I understand, I’ll leave now.” I watched as Pinkie vanished from the dream world. I felt like I had done something wrong, 6 months and all I did was hurt her.

I shouted “Stupid, Sunset why did you do that? You should have been kinder and let her down gently”

I woke and the day’s training past quickly enough, when I entered the dream it was cold and dark. I shouted “Pinkie, Pinkie I’m sorry.”

I heard Pinkie sobbing “Why didn’t she like me, am I not worth anything anymore ? I have so much love to give but I can’t show it.” I got closer only to see a shadowy figure step out of her spirit.

It said “What do you want me to do about it, I can help you?’

She said “Please Pinkamena, don’t hurt Sunset.”

Pinkamena asked “Why shouldn’t I, she hurt you all I am here to do is to protect you.”

Pinkie shouted tears flowing from her eyes “I love her and killing her will only make me feel worse! If you want to help me then kill me!”

Pinkamena said “Very well, I will save you from your pain.” I felt something in me scream as I saw her looking at her alternate self, it screamed at me, I felt my heart race, she was willing to give up her life for me. I rushed forward blocking the Pinkamena’s sword with my back.

Pinkie screamed “Sunset, why this is the second time I’ve had to see you die?”

I said “This is just a dream Pinkie, I’ll wake soon but know this, I care for you, I felt something seeing the lengths you went for me tonight" I kissed her smiling as I felt her tongue tangled around mine.

I heard as the light faded Pinkamena said “You did well tonight, I knew you cared for her, I could feel it but it was locked behind your other emotions, I just put you in a situation which forced them to light.” I smiled as the world went black, I woke to see the sun starting to peak over the horizon , I ran out to begin my training for the day with renewed vigour.
