previously....

PREVIOUSLY…
Flash Sentry and Sunset Shimmer, aged 21, had just come out of hospital with 2 beautiful babies, 2 girls. As they walked out of the hospital together, Flash nudged his wife.
“You will keep it clean?” he asked.
“Yeah.” replied Sunset. “I promise.”

Tragedy struck. 2 weeks after the girls had been there, Rarity found Sunset Shimmer, a great red stain spread like fire from her heart, her beautiful sea-coloured eyes wide open, lifeless. Sunset Shimmer was dead. There was no police station for miles. It must have been one of the girls, thought Rarity. “But who?” she said out loud.

Rarity followed the clues, putting 2 and 2 together. A hole in the ground. And a collar with a dog’s name everyone knew. Snowball. Rarity gasped. It was Fluttershy.

Chapter 2: many years later, Canterlot Middle School
3rd person pov
Dawn and Dusk were in the 7th grade at CMS. They would be starting a new year and they were looking forward to seeing their friends, High Flyer, Applejuice and Lil’ Cheese.
“Dawn! Dusk!” called Lil’ Cheese. “Good vacation? Meet my cousin, Graphene. Graphene, meet Dawn Sunrise and Dusk Sunset.”

Dawn waved a hand. “Hi, Graphene. Can I call you Feni?”

“Feni?” asked Graphene. “I like that.”

Lil’ Cheese waved his hand. “Fene will be starting 7th grade with us. I’m supposed to show her around, but I was wondering if you two would help.”

Dusk smiled. “‘Course we will.” she said. “What more can I do for my best friends?”

Feni grinned. “I’m looking forward to this. Mom used to home teach me but then she decided that being kids around my own age was good for me. I have Dyslexia, you see.”

Lil’ Cheese took Dusk to one side. “How’s your parents? My mom wants to know how they are coping.”

Dusk sighed. “My father said he would tell us something tonight. He wants me to bring all of the Equestria Girls and their children to our house. It must be important.”

Their first lesson was English. Feni had to do a test to see where she was for her English. The other students got on with a comprehension, about a poem, London by William Blake.
“Boring!” yawned High Flyer. Instead, she was chatting to Lil’ Cheese.

“Hey!” cried Applejuice. “Concentrate!”

High Flyer smirked. “What’s the use of learning if we are learning boring freaking poetry?”

“You’re like your mother,” said Applejuice. “Mom told me she hated school.”

High Flyer rolled her eyes. “Yeah, I know. Mom said that she was lazy.”

“My mom was always workin’ hard, doin’ good. Ah know that our parents were best friends. I think they became friends in High School.”

The bell rang.

“Good lesson that was,” said Dawn. “Hey, Feni, how did ya find English?”

Feni smiled. “Great, I love it!”

Their final lesson was maths. Maths was Dawn’s favourite subject.

“Really?” asked Lil’ Cheese. “Maths is sooooooooo boring!”

“What?!” yelled Dawn. “I love it. It’s very interesting and it’s fun!”

“FUN!” cried High Flyer.”You call maths, fun? I call it shit, and what is the point of it if we don’t need it?”

“Language,” hissed Applejuice. “My stars, High Flyer. Yer mom really must have sworn badly in front of ya.”

High Flyer shrugged. “Guess so.” she replied.

When it was the end of maths, they rushed out. Dawn and Dusk rushed into Flash’s welcoming arms.

“Hello, Graphene,” said Flash. “I believe your mom has given you permission to hear the story?”

Feni nodded. “Gonna join Lil’ Cheese. See ya in a few mins!”

chapter 4; What life would be like if Sunset had not been killed

Chapter 4: What Life would have been like for Sunset and her family.
Fluttershy POV
I guess if I hadn’t killed Sunset and gotten over it, things would have been very different. Sunset would have actually got to spend time with her kids and have fun. She’d be Principal at Canterlot High and could visit Nightstar and me a lot in the animal shelter. I guess. But no. I was a bitch, I killed her. I ruined the chance of her having a family. If only I had known…

Flash POV
If she had not died, our life would have been perfect. 2 kids, a wonderful wife. But since she died, my life has been incomplete. She means the world to me, Sunset Shimmer does.
She’s made my life happy and whole. The half of the apple is not complete, I need her.
If she had not died, we could have a family and great things could have happened.
But no. I’ve got to learn to get over it and get on with my life. She was so brave and kind and beautiful. And funny. She made me laugh. She was the apple of my eye.

Sunset POV
I understand Fluttershy. But I would have loved to spend time with Nightstar, take a trip to Equestria together, talk to Sunburst and Starlight and Princess Twilight. My family will be there, they deserve it. But now, that’s out of the window.

chapter 1: Flash and Sunset

CHAPTER 1: Flash and Sunset
Flash POV
When I heard that my wife was dead and my 2 kids were motherless, I wept over her body for hours and hours. She was so young. 21, she was. My best friend. My wife. My 2 kids, barely a month old. We named ours Dawn Sunrise and Dusk Sunset. 2 beautiful twin daughters.

I walked into the murder room, my room. I pulled a chair over next to the bed. The body of my beautiful wife, Sunset Shimmer, her cyan eyes looking up at me, who would never know her children, dead. I sobbed over her body. “Flash.” said a voice.

Familiar, it was. I turned. The ghost of Sunset Shimmer floated towards me. “Flash Sentry, it’s me. Sunset Shimmer. I’m dead. But my soul is here, and my ghost. We can talk when we want.”

I sniffed. “Our children. What do I tell them?”

Sunset smiled. “When they are old enough, age 12/13, then tell them what really happened.”

I smiled weakly. “Sunny?”

“Hmm?” replied Sunset.

“What will happen to CHS?”

Sunset sighed. “I asked Applejack to take it over for me with Twilight.”

“Of course.” I whispered. “Applejack’s your closest friend.”

chapter 3; the real truth

Chapter 3: The real truth
Sunset POV
My friends(that included Fluttershy and my brother) filed into Flash’s room, the place where I died. My body was now buried under the tree where Flash and I had our first kiss, in the garden. Seats were arranged in a semi-circle around 2 chairs, the chair I hovered on, and the chair Flash would sit on. I took a deep breath.

“When my 2 kids were born, when Flash found out I was dead,” I began, “I told him not to tell them until they were 12. Well, you all deserve to know what happened.

2 weeks we had been staying in the manor, I woke up to a nightmare of Demon Shimmer. Again. I saw a dark figure come into this room, I realised it was only Fluttershy. I turned over and went back to sleep. Little did I know she crept up on me and stabbed me in the heart, the blood spreading like the levels in Fireboy and Watergirl, you know that popular game we used to play as kids, remember, Nightstar? Spreading like wildfire, in fact. The next morning, Rarity woke up to find me, and she told herself she would solve this mystery. She did. Evidence pointed to Rainbow, Applejack and Fluttershy. But only one did it. It was Fluttershy. Obviously, Shy was put in prison for a few years. But Flash, my wonderful husband, probably had the worst reaction. When he found out, he sobbed over my body for a long time, until I(my ghost) piped up. I think that might have given him a shock, didn’t it, Flashie? But our real concern was our 2 kids. How Flash would raise them, and to be honest, Flash raised them very well. Although they will never know me, I’ll never know them, I saw them grow up. 12 years old. So, my daughters. I’m sorry if you don’t have the same love, but you must know that I love you to the end. Flash, is there anything you’d like to say?”

“Um,” said Flash. “Yeah. As Sunset says, I found it rather difficult to raise my kids. But with her support and Applejack’s as well, thanks, by the way, they’ve blossomed into 2 beautiful young flowers. And as a father, I’m proud of everyone for supporting our family through these tough times. So thank you everyone, and I hope you all have a lovely evening!”

Everyone clapped as Flash took a bow. I smiled.

“I’m sorry, Sunset.” whispered Fluttershy. “I just had to avenge Snowball and I vowed I would hurt the person or people involved in the death of my dog.”

I smiled. “It’s okay, Shy. It’s too late. I know.”
