Sunset's Kindness

“Sunset?..Sunset Shimmer?...Sunset..” A faint voice was heard within Sunset’s mind as she suddenly shook her head and came back to earth.

“Wha?..Oh.” Sunset seem to be a bit off today.

“Sunset? Are you okay? You seem like you didn’t get any sleep.” Her friend Twilight spoke concerned as she walked beside her.

“Oh..Yeah. I’m fine. I just stayed up for a long time studying for that math test.” Sunset replied, rubbing her eyes in which had dark circles under them.

“You really should go to bed earlier if your tired like this. You have a whole 5-6 hours to study. What are you doing with your free time?” Twilight asked.

“Going to the orphanage in town to read to the kids.”

“How long have you been doing this?” Twilight asked again.

“About a month or so. The kids really enjoy it and I’m happy I make them happy.”

“Well, I’m glad you're making people happy, just make sure to take care of yourself first though, okay?”

“Fine, if you say so Twilight.” Sunset replied as they entered a classroom.

“And then the kittens and their mother cuddled up together and had a wonderful sleep.” Sunset shut the book as she looked out to see all the kids asleep in their beds.

Sunset smiled warmly to know she put the kids to bed and got up, leaving the orphanage. When she left the orphanage her friend Pinkie Pie suddenly popped up out of nowhere in front of her.

“AAAH!” Sunset screamed, almost falling backward but she caught herself luckily.

“Oh, sorry Sunset! I didn’t mean to scare you! Whatcha doin’?” Pinkie asked in her normal excited tone.

“That’s alright Pinkie. I’m just walking home now.” Sunset gently calmed herself down now.

“Great! I got a invitation for ya’!” Pinkie handed Sunset a pink envelope with a purple heart sealing it.

Sunset held the invitation in her hand for a moment just to look at the outside of it and then took off the purple heart, opening the envelope and taking the invitation out. It was a white paper folded up small enough to fit into the envelope. She opened the paper next and began reading it over. It looked like it was typed up on a computer and printed as well.

“Dear my good friend Sunset Shimmer, you are invited to a Friendship Party! I’ve invited you and all our friends. There will be treats, games, and lots of chatting and fun! Hope to see you there!

From Pinkie Pie.

BTW, it will be after school tomorrow so make sure your caught up on homework before then!”

Sunset finished reading the invitation and closed it.

“Hope to see ya’ there Sunset!” Pinkie took off running now.

“WAIT! PINKIE, I CAN-....Never mind..” Sunset tried to call Pinkie back but it seemed the girl was too fast for her and was already gone.

Sunset heaved a sigh as she started to walk back home again. What was she going to do? She was suppose to see the kids again tomorrow. But she didn’t want to miss Pinkie’s party or disappoint any of her friends. It was either the kids, or her friends. She didn’t want to pick between either, but she had no choice.
