Chapter 1
The Unknown Text

The sun has shown through the classroom window, blinding Sunset Shimmer with its powerful rays of light. Blinking a few times she turned her gaze back onto the teacher. She remembered back when Princess Celestia would teach her the same subject. When she would always push herself harder to please her mentor. Sunset would never admit it, but she missed the competition. The pressure to be better. She knows its probably wrong, but what can she say, old habits die hard.

"Sunset?" The quiet voice of Fluttershy pulled her from her thoughts. Shaking her head, Sunset looked around to find an empty classroom with Fluttershy standing by the door.

Damn! The class already ended? Realizing that she hasn't replied to Fluttershy yet and that she was still standing by the door, Sunset quickly grabbed her things and made her way towards her. "Sorry about that, must have been lost in my thoughts to notice."

"Don't worry about it. C'mon, we got to get to lunch" Fluttershy was already on her way towards the cafeteria. She must be hungry... Sunset's stomach growled at the thought of food.

"I'll meet you girls there, I just gotta put my books away." Sunset talked over the crowded hallways. Fluttershy smiled and walked away with a little skip in her steps.

By the time Sunset reached her locker most of the crowd dispersed. Turning the lock, Sunset growled when it didn't open. On the third try, it finally opened...only to be slammed shut.

"Hey! What the heck!?" Sunset exclaimed when her fingers almost got cut off.

"Oops..sorry about that Sunset" Came the recognizable voice of Rainbow Dash. "Anyway, I was looking for you."

Raising an eyebrow while trying to unlock her locker, Sunset glanced at Rainbow "And whys that?"

"Well Twilight said that you forgot to hand in your homework for calculus"

Groaning Sunset banged her head against her locker, "Yeah, guess I forgot."

Rainbow chuckled at her friend. "Well, now I know that you take it easier than Twilight."

Frowning at her friend for finding amusement in her disappear, Sunset tried to open her locker for the last time. "What do yo-she didn't forget her homework did she?"

Trying to suppress her laugh, Rainbow instead started coughing. "Yea...It was..the highlight of the day."

Sunset couldn't fight the amused smile that came to her face, picturing what her friend's reaction might have been.

Finally unlocking her locker Sunset sighed in relief. Putting away her books, she and Rainbow headed to the Cafeteria.

"AND THEN ALL THE SPRINKLES WENT DOWN HER THROAT!" Pinkies sudden outbursts of laughter afterward caused a couple of students to glance at them.

"Wait..what happened" Sunset wasn't listening to Pinkie's story until she the last sentence. Please tell me she didn't explode someone...

"Well sugar-cube, Pinkie he'r was tellin' us ah story" Came Applejack's reply.

Well I think I already know that...thanks

"What she means darling is that one of Pinkie's friends' ate one of her delectable sprinkle coated cupcakes. And I must say they are simply marvelous"

"Aww thanks, Rarity!" Pinkie's smile beamed.

Sunset glanced around the cafeteria. Acationaly catching a few eyes and waves, she smiled back. She remembered when all she would get were scowls and piercing stares.

"Sunset? You ok?" Twilight's concerned and confused tone drove her out of her thoughts.

Looking up, Sunset caught the attention of the rest of her friends. Friends...such an odd word. Her mind was working on a reply when suddenly Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna walked in.

"Attention students!" Celestia's voice called out through a microphone. "We have a school announcement!"

"Yes, sister...I'm sure the students have figured that out already..what do you think they would assume since we just interrupted their lunch" Luna whispered loud enough for only Celestia to hear.

With a roll of her eyes, Celestia cleared her throat "As you all know the seasons have changed, and it's now fall. Therefore we have decided to host the Fall Formal again!"

Silence.

Everyone's eyes moved to look at one girl. One firey red and gold-headed girl. A girl who was trying hard not to squirm, and almost shattered.

Putting on a fake, yet acceptable, smile. Sunset proceeded to eat her salad.

Luna coughed awkwardly then took the microphone from her sister. "It will be held in the gym in the next three weeks. Any questions and details will be answered shortly." With that Luna sent a sharp look at Celestia, and they both walked away.

It took a few moments for the cafeteria to explode in loud talking again. Sunset was trying her hardest not to show her distress from the occasional looks she was given.

"I can't wait to get started on our attire!" Rarity squealed.

Fluttershy squeaked when Rainbow launched a tomato at her, which resulted in a dealy scowl from Applejack.

Pinkie and Twilight were in a deep discussion about why she shouldn't throw sprinkles in Twilight's drink.

Sunset unlocked her front door all while trying to hold several grocery bags. Walking towards her kitchen and pantry, Sunset put everything away.

Sighing, she plopped herself down on her couch and turned on the TV. Not amused with what was showing, she turned it off and tried to relax.

She stared at the ceiling as she played with her geode. What if she used the geode on herself? Would she see anything from her past as well? Would they be happy memories?

Shaking her head from all of her mental questions, she headed towards her bathroom to take a relaxing shower to clear her mind. Sooner or later she walked out of the steamy room, with nothing but a towel wrapped around her torso. Little drops of water from her hair followed her where ever she walked. Glancing at her backpack stuffed with homework laying lazily on the floor where she threw it. She knows that it would be responsible of her to complete it, but she just didn't feel like it.

A ring from her phone pulled her from her mental debate. Checking her notifications, Sunset almost dropped it when she read the text from the unknown number.

Are you ready for the Fall Formal she-demon? Thought you were forgiven? Ha! Bitch, you don't acknowledge anything, just do us a favor and go back to your wretched world. -Unknown
