Sunset and Cozy were walking through the halls several people looking away in fear as Cozy’s hate filled glare struck at them. Sunset sighed as she saw certain individual from her past, she walked over to the blue haired guitarist “Flash, I’m sorry about everything. I was a real horror and…”

Flash growled “Save it Sunset, you made your stance clear to me before! Get lost!”

Sunset walked away dejected, Cozy kicked him in the balls. She walked as he collapsed to the ground only to see a tall girl in a brown leather jacket over a white shirt wearing a pair of long brown jeans and solid boots talking to Sunset “No one is bothering are they?”

Sunset slumped “Just glares, I deserve every one of them Gilda. I hurt so many with my actions.”

Gilda grimaced “They are cowards to weak to face you at strongest and now want to put you down. Ignore their pathetic glares and they will soon get the message that you are not so easily cowed.”

Sunset shook her head “I did horrible things to everyone, I deserve their scorn. I blackmailed so many to get my way, caused so much suffering.”

Cozy grimaced “That’s enough Sunset, the past is the past. Now is the time to focus on the future, to be a better person that who you were before.” A pale green girl with brown eyes was watching closely.

Gilda frowned “Come on, let’s get you to class before some bastard tries to do something to you.”

Rainbow arrived only to sigh as Gilda’s eyes narrowed at her “Hi Gilda, its been years since we last spoke. Still can we put our problems with one another aside for Sunset’s sake.”

Gilda grimaced “Fine but I hope you have toned down that relentless ego of yours.”

Sunset was about to say something when Rainbow shook her head “Sunset, me and Gilda had a falling out long ago.” She then took a breath “Sunset you know what bothered me about you, that you were so smart. You were able to do well in sports yet get straight A’s in every subject, save history and a bit of science you didn’t put in any real effort.”

Sunset smiled “I can help you with your studies if you wish. You have been really open with me despite everything.”

Rainbow frowned “Openness leads to trust and I have tried to pull off the cool girl approach for too long. I need to be more open with my emotions in order to have true friends.”

Cozy smiled “I said something similar, we have faith in you Sunset. All that you need is to have some faith in yourself, you can become a better person than what you were before.”

Rainbow nodded “You have made a lot of progress already, standing up for Cozy beside you despite everything was admirable.”

A soft murmured “Um, hello.” Sunset turned to see a pale with green hair and brown eyes looking at her “I’m Wallflower Blush, I saw you taking with Gilda earlier.”

Sunset sighed “Wallflower, I’m sorry if I have wronged you any way in the past. I have done a lot of horrible things and I’m not sure if I remember all of them.”

Wallflower smiled weakly “That’s okay, I don’t think you did anything to me. I was kind of too quiet for you to notice, I’m too quiet for a lot of people to notice actually.”

Rainbow smiled “I know someone who may be able to assist you with that, she is rather quiet herself. She loves animals and spends a lot of time at the local shelter.”

Wallflower slumped “I was hoping that someone come and visit the garden after school with me. I put a lot of work into maintaining it but no one seems to care.”

Sunset and Cozy walked over, Sunset smiled “Do you mind if we come over to have a look? I don’t much about flowers but I’m hoping you could tell us more.” Cozy nodded to Sunset with a smile as Wallflower’s eyes lit up like a Christmas tree as tears formed in her eyes. The first two periods of the day, Science and Maths past quickly.

Sunset heads to the lunch room and took a seat at a table with Cozy only to be joined by Gilda and Rainbow as well as Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity and Pinkie. Sunset smiled as she Wallflower looking for a seat beckoning to her to join them. Rainbow scowled as her four old friend were casting wary glances at Cozy “Okay, what’s with those looks!”

Cozy frowned “Rainbow, let me handle this.” She then turned to the other girls “I’m not your enemy. We all want to help Sunset, isn't that enough for the four of you to stop worrying about my presence.”

Fluttershy sighed “She’s right, I’ve been too quiet on this matter. Maybe I’ve been too quiet in general, letting you stomp over me until something big happens and then I let it all out at once. She is helping Sunset and that should be more than enough for all of us.”

Applejack frowned “Fluttershy, you’ve heard the rumours that she has killed people before. That is enough reason to be doubt her.”

Cozy grimaced “Well it’s not as if they are wrong even if they are likely to be drastically out of context. I was raised in war, yet I was given a chance at a normal life and now I reaching out to another fallen soul helping her get back on her feet again.”

Rainbow and Gilda were slightly taken aback by this. Applejack and Pinkie were shocked as Rarity fainted in her seat. Sunset and Fluttershy however were unfazed by this, Fluttershy frowned “My Grandfather was a military man, told me the stories. I’ve considered taking on a career as a field medic.”

Wallflower who was quietly observing blinked “Um, your Fluttershy right?”

Fluttershy smiled“Yes, you are the one who runs that pretty garden with all the animals. I wanted to go there but I afraid of interacting with you, still I’d love to see if you want me to.”

Wallflower gave her a meek smile “Thanks.” The bell rang signalling classes were about to resume, Fluttershy woke Rarity and lead Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie away from the other four.

Author's Note

I wanted to give Fluttershy some lines in this chapter.
