Finding Destiny

October 23 6:00 am

A week has now passed since Rose proposed to Sunset and the preparations were coming along perfectly. Rose and Sunset over the last week noticed that whenever their friends played their instruments they would pony up. Rose could even see the magic inside the girls after the first pony up. Rose and Sunset had also stopped by Applejack’s house and asked Granny Smith if they could get married in Sweet Apple Acres. They were worried that she would say no but were pleasantly surprised when she said yes. Rose and Sunset decided to have cereal and coffee before heading to school. As they ate they discussed the wedding. At seven they headed out to school hand in hand. As they approached the school Celestia and Luna approached Sunset.

Once Celestia and Luna were close enough Luna said “Sunset, today just before lunch there will be three new students showing up and we were wondering if you would like to show them around? If you don’t want to we can get someone else to show them around if you don’t want to.”

Sunset thought for a few moments before she said “I will show them around the school. After all, it will be better for them to know the new me and not the destroy the school and trying to take over the student body. I’m not the same student I was back then and it is mainly because of Morning Rose that I changed for the better.”

Rose Nuzzled her fiance and said in a loving and caring tone of voice “you are wrong my love. You changed because you wanted to and knew you were wrong.”

Sunset returned the nuzzle and together with Rose and Sunset went to the auditorium to help set up for the Musical Showcase. However, the moment they entered the auditorium all the happy talking seemed to freeze. Sunset and Rose decided to offer to help out the Cutie Mark Crusaders. As they approached the Crusaders Sunset pulled out a paintbrush and said “Hey girls do you want any help?”

The Crusaders looked at each other for a second and after turning back to Sunset Applebloom said in a nervous and scared tone “ No thanks Sunset. We are all good here.”

Sunset recognizing the tone looks away and said “Oh. okay, have a good day. Also, I am sorry for all the hardships I have caused you. I understand you are scared of me and you have every right to be. So until you are ready I will leave all of you alone. I am truly sorry.”

Sunset getting upset turned and walked with Rose over to their friends where Pinkie was waved at them and said “Rose, Sunset over here.” As Rose and Sunset approached their friends Sunset said “ I had no idea the whole school would be here.”

Fluttershy realizing that Sunset was getting upset placed a comforting hand on Sunset’s shoulder while Pinkie Pie and Rarity hold up their poster. While holding up the poster Rarity said “Quite the eye-catching advertisement. If I do say so myself.”

The moment Rarity finished talking Pinkie added “And it smells like cake.” Fluttershy upon hearing that said while leaning in to smell the poster “It does?”

Pinkie puts the poster in Fluttershy’s face getting it on her face as she said “Of course it does. I used frosting instead of paint.”

Applejack seeing the frosting on Fluttershy's face said while pointing it out “Fluttershy you got a little something there.”

Fluttershy does a quick wipe and asked “did I get it?” Applejack chuckles and said “Not exactly. Here let me help you.” Applejack pulls out a cloth and wipes all the frosting off with a look of love in her eyes that only Fluttershy and Rose caught.

A moment later Celestia and Luna walk in as Celestia said “ Good afternoon students. I just wanted to tell you all how pleased I am that so many of you are going to participate in the first ever Canterlot High Musical Showcase.” as Celestia Finished talking there was a round of cheers from everyone in the room. As it died down Celestia continued to say “This is a wonderful opportunity to raise money for all the afterschool activities here at C.H.S. so keep working on those signs and posters. I think it is going to be one of the most exciting events to happen at C.H.S. since the fall formal.”

At those words, everyone glared at Sunset except for Rose and the girls. Sunset feeling horrible about how she behaved slumped to the floor. The girls realizing that Sunset was upset went on with their day while Rose comforted Sunset. Once Sunset was calmed down Rose and Sunset went to class.

As the bell rang signaling that class was over Rose and Sunset went to the music room to meet up with the girls for practice. Rose stood by the door while sunset sat on the piano. A few minutes later the girls showed up and got ready to practice. Sunset looking down in the dumps said “I'm never going to live that down.” Fluttershy looked over and said, “you were pretty bad.” Sunset getting upset again said “She-demon. I turned into a raging she-demon.”

Pinkie Pie feeling left out said “And tried to turn everyone here into zombies for your own personal army. Before Rose stopped you and saved your life.”

Rarity seeing that what Pinkie said upset Sunset said “aww darling you have us and we have forgiven you for your past boo-boos.”

Applejack then said, “ Personally I think the whole event has brought everyone at C.H.S. closer together.” As Applejack finished talking they all started to practice their songs. As they all played they started to pony up.

As the song comes to an end rarity said “I can’t believe that happens whenever we play. I got to look into some new accessories. Maybe some clip-on earrings for when I get those adorable pony ears. Maybe a cute hair tie for when I get those longer manes.”

Applejack then said a little curious “I just wonder why it happens. I mean Twilight took the crown back to Equestria. So shouldn’t that mean she took the magic back with her.”

Rainbow Dash looked at her with excitement and said “who cares why it happens. It makes my band totally awesome.” Rarity taking offense to that said, “ excuse me your band.” Rainbow walks over to her and said “duh.it was my idea to create a band so we could take part in the musical showcase. Plus I’m the lead guitarist and songwriter.”

At the moment Flash sentry came in and said “ I heard your music from outside. You are sounding really tight. By the way, any chance our friend from out of town will be stopping by. I mean with it being a charity event and all.”

Applejack knowing who he was talking about said “I’m sorry flash but I don’t think Twilight will be back anytime soon.” Flash hiding his hurt said, “ okay I just thought I would ask.”

After Flash left there was an announcement on the pa system that said “Sunset Shimmer please report to the main foyer, please. Once again Sunset Shimmer to the main foyer. Thank you.” Sunset hearing the announcement said goodbye to her friends and left to show the new students around.
