The Lady and The Street Rat

"I'm glad that you called me today so that we could have our date Timber, I needed the break after all". Twilight said as she and Timer were walking. It was a Saturday morning in Canterlot City, Twilight was studying for the upcoming test next week and her friends were quite busy about their jobs. She was taking the day off since she was studying and Spike was sleeping, it's been a while since she and Timber went on a date which made her really happy.

"That's not why I called you here for". Timber looked away feeling really bored.

"Oh! Then what is it?" They both stopped and looked at each other eye to eye.

"It's something else Twilight". Timber said.

"I won't laugh, you can tell me anything". Twilight said.

"We've been distant for a while and I want to change that".

"Change what?". Twilight asked.

"Our relationship".

"I don't think I understand Timber, what's wrong with our relationship?". Twilight nervously asked because she wasn't sure where this conversation was going. But she was hoping she wouldn't think what Timber would do to her.

"I don't feel the spark anymore".

"You mean-".

"I'm breaking up with you Twilight Sparkle".

Twilight could hear and feel her heart getting shattered in a million pieces. Her boyfriend Timber told her that they would meet up in the park for their "date" but turns out that Timber Spruce had gotten bored about their relationship.

"Wh-Why?" That's the only word that Twilight could say.

"It's just you always talked about science and you're friends so it kind of got boring hanging out with you". Timber replied.

"I-I can fix this!".

"You don't need to Twilight, like I said we're done. You can go back to doing nerd stuff and make cookies with you're friends or something boring like studying science which is really useless".

Her now ex left her alone for him to go back to Camp Everfree. She started crying and what made it worst it started raining making her run home. She eventually got tired and went to the alley, she sat down and cried more thinking what went wrong with their relationship. She thought that both of them were perfected for each other but I guess not everything was perfect, it hurts her to think that her first relationship would last forever. She wanted to call her friends but she sees that her phone was dead, she forgot to charge it this morning. She was really distracted.

"What's wrong with me talking about the things I love? I guess he wasn't interested in science like I am...". Twilight heard footsteps approaching to her direction, she stood up and saw three older guys looking interested in her.

"Well hello beautiful". They started to form a circle around the nerd and this made her feel really scared.

"Did your boyfriend dump you?"

"We-Well ... yea-yeah". Twilight nervously replied.

"It's his lost. Why don't you hang with us? We'll treat you right than that douche bag".

"Look I really need to go". Twilight looked around because she was being surrounded.

"Come on baby girl we just want to give you a good time".

Twilight Sparkle shakes her head declining their offer which made them angry. One of them grabbed Twilight's wrist and forced her to come with them. She started screaming for help but one of the guy's hand covered her mouth for her to stop making a scene. Then they stopped when they heard the fence had moved, and then they realize who it was.

"Get away from her!"

"Mind your own business street rat!"

"This is my turf buddy, this is my business! Don't make me hurt you or you'll regret it".

"Get er!"

One of the guy's charge towards the person and of course the person used self defense to knock him out. They removed Twilight from their grasp and both of them started attacking the street rat, it was an intense fight but Twilight was so scared to move that he decided to watch the whole thing. The person threw one of them across the alley and the trio runs off screaming their mommies names.

"I swear I would catch them flirting with girls who got dumped and go to this alley to cry their pain about their boyfriends not being good enough for them". The person scowled.

Twilight wipes her tears away and saw a hand reaching out to her. She took it and was lifted on the ground so that she could stand up, it was really dark so she couldn't see her hero.

"Are you alright?".

"Ye-Yes". Twilight said.

"Come with me before you catch a cold". The person said as she started walking slowly and stops when she didn't hear Twilight's footsteps. She turned around to see she was shaking in fear hesitating about what the street rat had said.

"Don't worry I won't hurt you, I'm here to help you". She got in front of Twilight and holds out her hand.

"Trust me". The person gave her a small smile and Twilight finally felt safe. She took her hero's hand and the street rat led her to an abandoned apartment a.k.a her house. Twilight couldn't take her eyes off the girl's face.

They both really looked so identical but.... how did she ended up here? Whoever her parents were, they sure don't care about their child.

The person opened the door and Twilight looked around in awe. Yeah it looked like trash but this person made it really special. They both walked to the living room and the nerd took a seat on the couch while the person wrapped her jacket around Twilight.

"I'll see if I can find some spare clothes for ya so sit tight and make yourself at home". The person left her and she continued to look around. She wanted to scream one of her best friend's name because the person who saved her was the identical to them. Then the person came back with spare clothes and gives it to Twilight.

"You can take a shower. The bathroom's on the second door on the left, the bathroom locked is busted but don't worry I won't be barging in. It will be rude of me and I don't want to get another bruise or black eye".

"Thank you so much".

An hour as pass and Twilight came back wearing the spare clothes. The person clapped and offered her a seat which Twilight thanked her.

"I'm glad I was just in time to save you, I would never imagine what those bozos do if I wasn't around".

"Thank you for saving me back there". Twilight said.

"The pleasure's mine ma'am". The person did a tip on her hat as a sign of respect which made Twilight giggle a little.

"You don't need to be so formal with me, I'm just a high school student".

"Well okay then, I don't want to be a complete stranger but may I please know your name? I wanna know just in case if we meet again and I won't be calling you ma'am".

"My name is Twilight Sparkle".

"That's a really lovely name for a beautiful girl, you're parents did a wonderful job raising a talented young girl such as yourself". Twilight blushed and looked away smiling a little which made the person laugh.

"Pardon my flirting you just look really cute". The person said as she rubs her arm shyly which Twilight thought it was cute.

"It's quite alright.... what's your name?"

"Sunset Shimmer at your service". Sunset stood up and bowed in front of Twilight. This will be an interesting friendship between The Lady and The Street Rat.
