Sunset walked into her house, shutting the door behind her as she placed her bag on to her bed. She opened it taking a bunch of books out. They all had names like "Cluster The Dragon" or "Her First Meow". These were all kid books. Sunset had recently came back from the library with a bunch of books to read to her favorite group of kids at the orphanage. She enjoyed spending time with them and taking the time she had that was free to read stories to them. They really did seem to enjoy them to. And from the caretakers there, they had told her a lot of the kids always wonder where she is and when she'll come back next to tell them more stories. It made Sunset feel warm and fuzzy to know the kids enjoy her presence. She had some kind of special connection with them and she didn't know why. She just felt safe and happy with the orphans. Not that she didn't with her friends, but felt closer with them.

"These books should do. I should get going now though if I want time to study for that math test tomorrow."

Sunset put the books back into her bag and and began walking to the orphanage. It wasn't far, so it wasn't too far of a walk for her. It was also good exercise in a way.

She soon found herself at the entrance of the orphanage, going inside.

"Ah, Sunset Shimmer! Glad to see you back." A lady that was quite tall with a bun and red glasses greeted her.

"Hi Mrs. Sherry. Glad to see you too." Sunset smiled.

Sunset knew about almost all the staff within the orphanage about now. She had became good friends with a lot of them considering she came there quite often. In Sunset's mind, it was good to be friends with all the people there, that way she didn't have to dread coming there or try to avoid anyone. Although, there was one person she didn't like really out of the staff there. Although, there was one person she didn't like really out of the staff there. Mr. Berry. He didn’t really seem to like Sunset or the kids either. Whenever Sunset said hi or even walked past him, Mr. Berry gave her a dirty look usually. Or, when he was handling the kids, he didn’t seem very nice to them. It could've just been Sunset that thought he was that way so she didn’t dwell on that much.

She walked down a hallway, passing a few of the staff on her way and greeting them. She turned to the right room, opening the door. When she came inside there was a hurricane of kids rushing at her and trapping her in a bunch of hugs.

“Woah! Hey everyone.” Sunset giggled as the many kids hugged her.

“Are you reading us another story?” One of the children asked.

“Of course! Why wouldn’t I be?” Sunset replied, sitting down on a pillow on the floor.

The kids gathered around grabbing their own pillows to sit on and awaiting Sunset to start.

“And then Bella ran off into the sunset with her horse. The end.” Sunset shut the book now.

A lot of the kids were now lying down on their pillows when she looked up from her book.

“Well, you all looked like you got nice and comfy while I was reading. Anyway, I have to go now. I have to study for something.” Sunset put the book back into her bag and got up.

“Aww..Do you really have to go now? Maybe read us another story.” One of the children pleaded, hoping to change Sunset’s mind.

“Sorry Moon, I need time to study so I can ace a test I have tomorrow. I’ll come back tomorrow after school though, I promise.” Sunset hugged the small child named Moon and started to leave.

“Bye everyone!” Sunset waved goodbye, along with the other children as she shut the door.

"Moon". Such a creative name for a child. I know. xD
