Load Full Story"Meet me at the Silver Plate cafe after school in two hours. We need to talk."
That was the first text she'd gotten in the entire day since leaving the school. Thinking it was one of her friends Sunset Shimmer looked at the number. Then she got confused when all she saw were an entire row of 0s. Shaking her head Sunset ignored the number thinking it was a mistake, and whent to her home.
The next day whent as it did the previous. She had whent to school and had gotten a text message when it had ended.
"Meet me at the Silver Pate cafe Sunset. We need to talk, now."
Now this person had her attention. Whoever this person was they definitely knew who she was. Looking to her five friends Sunset gave a smile.
"Sorry guys, I have a few things I need to take care of back home, okay." Sunsets friends understood her reasons and promised to hangout with her friends some other time.
Getting onto her motorcycle Sunset made her way to the city. She knew where the cafe was, it was one of the first places she whent to when she first came to this world. After about twenty minutes Sunset arrived at the small diner and picked a small table outside.
"Good evening ma'am what would you like to order?" A waitress asked the young teenager. Sunset thought for a moment, she figured she was going to be there for a while and ordered a small soda. The waitress left and Sunset leaned back in her chair.
"Well, see you actually listened this time", a voice said from behind the young teenager causing her to jump in the process. Looking back Sunset could only stare at the woman who was walking towards her.
She wore a dark red jacket, a white button up dress shirt, black dress pants and black boots.
"Well, are you just going to stare at me, or offer me a seat."
Sunset tried to get her suddenly dry throat some moisture, but could only nod and jesture at the seat across from her. The woman smiled and took her seat before the teen.
"A are you...", Sunset tried to get the words to come out, but only trailed off at the end. The woman smirked, but thought on the girls question.
"I can't really give you that information. Though I can give you a name you could call me", she said leaning back in her chair.
"And what's that?", Sunset croaked.
"Call me Watcher, and I've been keeping a very close eye on you Sunset Shimmer." She said narrowing her eyes in a firm gaze. Sunset felt a shiver go up her spine and glanced at Watchers neckless. She smiled at the sight and then looked back up at her face.
"Here you go ma'am, oh, did your guest want anything as well?" The waitress said placing Sunsets drink in front of Sunset. Watcher gave the girl a soft smile.
"Yes, please I'll take a medium coffee." Sunset raised an eyebrow, but didn't comment. Looking back at watcher she opened her mouth but nothing came out. Watcher raised an eyebrow. "What?"
"Nothing, its just... um... why are you, um, older?" Sunset asked finding it difficult to speak. Watcher frowned at that and stared at Sunset with a considering look, as if she had difficulty choosing an answer. Sunset fidgeted in her seat uncomfortable from the intense look she was given.
"I believe it's because of who you are, or more accurately what you are." Sunset froze at those words. How did she know? Was she stalking her? "Oh, I know all about you and your little group of friends. Actually I'm a little jellus, I never made friends like that when I was young."
Sunset gave a smile at the sound of someone complimenting on her friendship. She never thought someone would be jealous of something so simple as friendship.
Watcher gave a heavy sigh taking a sip from her drink.
"Though I digress, the reason I'm here in the first place is because of you, Miss Shimmer", watcher said.
"What do you want with me?" Sunset asked nervously, afraid of the answer.
"The truth, you see ever since you came to this world I've trying my damnest to help you get used to this place. And it took a bit of money to do it."
Sunset was confused. What did she mean by helping her? When she had first came to this world no one helped her. So why did this woman tell her that she had helped her when she didn't help her at all?
"Maybe I did my job a little to well", Watcher muttered in her cup. Sighing watcher fixed her eyes with Sunsets.
"When you first came to this world did a woman take you to the local homeless shelter?" Sunset nodded prompting Watcher to continue.
"Then after about a month someone told you about an apartment for rent, but you needed a job to pay so it was so convenient that the mall needed a new sushi chef so you got the job. Now came the little problem of going from school to work and to home, right? Then one day you find a check of around 10000 grand in your mail and you bought that lovely motorcycle over there."
Sunset could only stare in shock everything Watcher had everything right, right down to the amount of money she got from the mail, but there was a few flaws in her claims.
"What about school, and all my medical records?" She said hoping she find something anything to disprove this persons claims. No matter how helpful they were,
Watcher smirked. "Simple, for the school I just had to claim you as my daughter and enroll you, it was actually pretty easy." Sunsets shoulders sagged. "As for your medical records, that was a little difficult."
"So, let me get this strait, you and who else have been guiding me and controlling my life for the past three years?" Sunset growled.
"No, we simply gave you a life here in Canterlot city. Nothing more." Sunset sighed.
"So nothing I did in this world I did myself. Did I?" Sunset asked with a sigh. Watcher sighed as well finishing her cup of coffee.
"Actually, some things you did yourself."
"Like what? Doing my homework?"
"Getting your job, making friends, having a normal life. You did a lot of things by yourself, Sunset. We just needed to give you the right push to do it", Watcher said with a sympathetic smile. Sunset smiled in returned it.
"Thanks, Watcher."
"Anytime, kid and one more thing." Sunset raised an eyebrow. "If any more threats like those Sirens. Give me a call, got it?" Watcher gave a bigger smile and handed Sunset a card.
Sunset nodded and watched as the older woman left the table leaving Sunset alone to drink her forgotten soda.
Separator.
Watcher had just gotten into her car when her phone had began to ring. Sighing she took it out and answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Did you meet with her?" A slightly nazely male said though the speaker.
"Of corse, sir, but it doesn't make sense why tell her now?"
"Oh, agent what's the point of making sense. Now, I have another mission for you."
"Where", Watcher asked ready to put the coordinates in her GPS.
"Two words, Sunny, Camp Everfree."
"Got it" and with Watcher drove to her next mission all the while wandering what magical end of the world sinario she was getting herself into.
