Chapter 1

Sunset Shimmer felt the heat consume her body and the student of Carterlot High didn't fare any better. the air conditioners around the school had malfunction, leaving us in this inferno. It was like hell raised up to Equestria. Miss Luna, our substitute teacher for Alchemy class had a better handling of the heat and class. The book was up to her face as she read "The law of equivalent exchange, in order to obtain or create something, something of equal value must be lost or destroyed". Again, with the same lesson. It gets tiresome to have to sit down and get our head drill with the same stupid lesson. Sunset eyes explore the world outside of school. Through the window she saw classmate sitting by the old Canterlot statue. She much prefers being with her friend right about now, but she also wouldn't mind spending some time with him. Her thoughts were taking over by that boy who made her heart skip a beat. A smile broke her otherwise stony face. life was good, then why, why does she feel so homesick. The teacher walks next toa very distracted Sunset. Luna taps Shimmer head with the dense alchemy book. The class snicker much to the girls embarrassment. "Oh, sorry Sunset, are we bothering you?" Said Luna. The girl stays quiet and just shook her head. "Since you're not paying attention, I'll assume you know the material" Luna shut the book. Never breaking eye contact. Making the girl nervous. "What is a rebound and when does it occur"

"A rebound is a miscalculated transmutation. It happens when the law of equivalent exchange is not meet" Sunset answer. The teacher seems please but it was hard to tell with her long face. She nods but before she could speak, the bell rings. Sunset quickly got up with her material. On her way out she could hear the teacher telling the students to enjoy the weekend. Walking out of class she stumbles with a happy go lucky girl. Her Pink fluffy hair and contagious smile was greatly appreciated.

"Sunny! How is my fiery girl doing?" said Pinkie Pie. Her body language was lively and passionate. We both walk down to the cafeteria to join the gang. Along the way she told Pinkie of her embarrassing incident. Pinkie expresses her sympathetic by pulling a candy bar out of her wild hair. Sunset grabs the chocolate bar but it was melted, much to her displeasure.

"Thanks anyways" Said Sunset. This simple act meant the world to her. Both talk while heading to the cafeteria. Not paying much attention to the folks around them. Coming to a stop in front of someone they hope meet face to face. Adagio close her locker and stood in front of Sunset and Pinkie. She scowls and held her head high. Sunset was tired of the passive aggressive interactions or the awkward way they act when they take a class together. Shimmer took the first step in becoming friends. "Hey Adagio, How you been?" Sunset form her best smile and put her hand out for an awkward handshake. Adagio cross her arms and pull back with a sneer.

"Just because we act friendly doesn't mean we're friends, she-demon". The reminder of what Sunset had done in the past sting. She hated that name and Adagio quickly when down on her list of people to befriend. Adagio walks pass us and bump Sunset shoulder on her way.

"Yeah, good talk…" Said Sunset. Pinkie put her arm around Sunset neck and said to ignore here. In the cafeteria, we caught sight of the girls. She sat next to a sleepy Applejack. Poor Aj, all she does now is work and school, she deserves every second of rest she could find. Rainbow Dash on the other hand had a deadly glare. She would violently stab her meal while repeating "I'm fine". Sunset ask Rarity for the gossip and told Shimmer to ignore Dash because she was being a sore loser. It was a friendly tease but this did not stop Dash from slamming the table. The loud bang seems to scare Fluttershy who was sitting next to Dashie. Flutter had been spacing out for the past couple day. Sunset trace Flutter eyes and it landed on the boys football team. Shimmer brain started ticking. Fluttershy was never one to show any type of interest in such things. She thought best to keep her lips seal.

"Sorry I'm late, girls" Said Twilight. She ran up to the table and drop on the chair, sitting next to Dash. "I was practicing my reconstruction" She explain. Taking out an angelic figurine with wings. Making Pinkie Pie awestruck. When Sunset eyes fell on Twi, her mood swore.

"Whoa, impressive" Said Shimmer. She tries to sound genuine but her true feeling were stronger. It was sarcastic and almost mocking. The group felt silent, almost painfully uncomfortable. Twi seem the most surprise. The silence didn't last long when a bark was hear. Dash was taken aback when she hears the sound coming from Twi backpack.

"Did you bring your dog to school, egghead" Dash joke. Twi has made it clear to us all that she doesn't appreciated the nickname but Dash is the only one who uses it. "What if that dog get rail up in class?"

"Ok first, my head is not shape like an egg and second" Twilight put her bag on the table and spike head pop out, making all the girls gush. "I bring Spike everywhere I go, he's my guarding angel after all. Plus, if he ever gets to loud in class, all I need to do is sing a lullaby and he'll go to sleep" Said Twilight as a matter of fact. While the group play with spike, Sunset go up to leave. Pinkie Pie ask where she is going, they just got to the cafeteria. Sunset just said that she lost her appetite. Walking school with a vigilant eye, knowing who she wants to stumble upon. From the corner of her eye, she spots him outside of class and dash toward him. He took notice of me coming forward and open his arms. Sunset did the same before throwing herself on him. Firmly wrapping her arms around his body. The heat was killer but she would suffer through it. Sunset couldn't help but place her head on his chest "Hey, what wrong?" Said he.

"Nothing, can't you see I'm smiling" Sunset pull back and show a big grin. "See Flash"

"I can see you're trying too hard" Flash Sentry answer. He read me like a book. Maybe that is what happens when two people spent too much time together. Sunset let go of him and lay back on his locker, locking hands. Shimmer didn't really want to talk about it. all she wants is a moment of peace and that's how they spend their lunch break, sitting and talking until the bell ring. Sunset face twisted but cold down when she felt him put his arms around her again. "Sorry I have to go but we'll talk soon, ok?". He glances once more and wink before disappearing into the crowd. She notices that Flash was not wearing his trademark leather jacket. She knew the heat was unbearable but she loves how that jacket looks.

Sunset next class was history. Our teacher was Cheerilee. A woman who was very happy to teach a boring class to a bunch of uninterested teens. Everyone gathers up in the room and pick their chairs. Sunset pick the chair closes to the window. "Ok, continuing where we left off yesterday" Said Cheerilee. "Can anyone remember, what was the first creation when times were dark and shapeless". One random student raises his and answer "The light" to which Cheerilee clap in an ecstatic mood. Sunset shook her head and explore the outside world once more. Not far from school she saw a little girl walking with her two parents. Link by hand and bond by blood. The sight evokes strong emotion. She once more asks, why does she feel so homesick.
