Previous ChapterNext Chapter

At Pinkie Pie party, everyone is having a blast. Vinyl rocks on her DJ board and everyone dancing. Sunset sits outside the house. She felt a little bit cold and lonely, until Hal sits besides her.

“Sounds like everyone is having a blast in there” Hal says
“yeah it is” Sunset replies as she turns her head to look at Hal.

Both of them gets eye contact and Hal begins to ask Sunset “why aren’t you at the party?” as Sunset replies “the music was just to loud”.

“I totally get that, but that’s not the reason why you’re out here right?” Hal says as Sunset smile disappears, “but why are you here?” Sunset asks. Hal replies

“it got boring at my house so i just came here” Sunset chuckles and looks away to look at the street.

Hal does the same, “but really why are you out here in the dark?” Hal asks as Sunset replies “you know what you said at school about i was that kind of person that want to escape her past?”.

Hal replies “yes”, “well i am out here cause people still won’t forget what i did, that if a goes inside that room i will spoil the party” Sunset tells Hal “my friends is the only one who forgave me for what i did”.

“We don’t get that a lot in other schools” Hal says, Sunset chuckles and asks Hal “how was your old school anyway?”.

Hal really don’t want to tell about his old school so he tells her “i will rather not talk about my old school, i kinda hated it every moment of my old school”.

“I understand” Sunset says, Hal takes out a liquor bottle which were made of metal.
Sunset sees the bottle and gets a little shocked of what she saw and looked at Hal “is that liquor?” she asks, “yeah” Hal says.

“Do your parents know about this?” Sunset asks as she didn’t want Hal to get in trouble,
“i don’t know how to tell you this, but i live alone, my parents are dead”.

Those words made Sunset feel sorry for Hal, “oh my god i am sorry, what happened?” Sunset asks.

“My mother died from cancer when i was young and my father died in Iraq during a firefight” Hal told Sunset, that story made Sunset feel sorry for him “Am sorry” she tells him.

“After my father's death he wanted the military to give me his dog tag” Hal says as he pulls it out from his jacket. Sunset looked at the dog tag and saw the name (Harold Malcolm).
Hal looked at the dog tag and Sunset leaned a bit closer to Hal, Hal took his arms around her shoulders.

Rarity walks out of the door and sees Sunset with Hal.

Hal removes his arm away from Sunset’s shoulders and both are turning their heads to look at Rarity, “what’s going on Sunset?” Rarity asks “nothing Rarity, we’re fine”.

Rarity looks at Sunset and then at Hal, she walks back into the house back to the party.

“Who the hell was that?” Hal asks as he looks at Sunset, “it’s just Rarity, and friend of mine” Sunset says as she also looks at Hal “she’s really into fashion if you know what i mean”.
Hal and Sunset begins to laugh, when they stop laughing they begin to rise up and walk a little bit away from the house to get more privacy.

They walks up to Hal’s car, Hal takes out the liquor bottle from his pocket and takes a drink from it, “i am not sure you should drink that” Sunset tells Hal.

“Just try it a little bit, just take a sip it won’t hurt” Hal says and gives Sunset the liquor bottle.

The Red haired girl told Hal "i properly shouldn't drink, i mean i barely know you"
"Properly a good idea i mean i don't expect you to accept liquor from an high schooler" Hal said in a british accent.

Sunset just grabbed the bottle and removes the top, she takes a drink from the bottle.

“You live a really rogue life Hal, and were you talking in a british accent” Sunset says after drinking from the bottle.

“Yeah but sometimes you gotta live dangerous, that’s how you live an interesting life. And i have a british ancestry” Hal tells the red haired girl while he walks in front of Sunset, “you got it Hal” Sunset says.

“Yeah, i have traveling the world often” Hal says, it surprised Sunset and she looked up from the bottle.

“Really?” Sunset says “yeah I've been to japan and Africa so I've learned a lot of things traveling” Hal tells Sunset.

“That’s awesome Hal” Sunset tells the boy
“yeah, i have a lot of friends in these countries” Hal says “maybe you can get to meet them”. Those words have Sunset a smile but she remembered about her past and hoped that Hal doesn't know about what she did at the fall formal. If he did then i would ignore her like any other.

Sunset didn’t think about it much at took the top and slammed it together and gave it back to Hal, Hal grabbed the bottle and put it into his pocket. Hal leaned back to the fence behind him. Rainbow walks out of the door of the house and turned her head to see Sunset on the street.

“Hi Sunset, what are you doing?” Rainbow asks, Hal and Sunset looks at Rainbow as she walks up to Sunset.

“Rainbow Dash i want you to meet Hal Malcolm” Sunset tells Rainbow Dash, Hal reaches his hand to shake Rainbow Dashes hand. Rainbow reaches her hand out to give Hal a handshake, both shook their hands as Hal tells Rainbow Dash “nice meeting you Rainbow Dash”.

They stopped shaking hands as Rainbow asked Sunset “are you coming into the party?, we’re kinds worried about you”.

“I am fine Rainbow” Sunset said, “okay Sunset, just come if you want” Rainbow said and walked back into the house.

“She was nice” Hal said to Sunset, “she is, she’s pretty loyal to everyone so you would have her on your side” Sunset says “sounds like a great friend” Hal tells Sunset.

Sunset smiles as Rainbow is a really loyal friend. Hal begins to look up at the stars of the night skies, Sunset looks at Hal when he looks up to the night skies.

“What are you looking at?” Sunset asks Hal, Hal replies “up to the night skies” as he point his finger up.
Sunset looks up to the skies as Hal tells her “there are billions and trillions of star systems in the universe, that one of them there is a planet that is inhabiting life on it’s own”.

“That’s interesting” Sunset says as she up to Hal and stands besides him. Hal begins to hold Sunsets hand, Sunset blushes and looks at Hal. Hal looks at Sunset, they’re looks up to the skies again and the stars.
