day 1: Auradon prep (Sunset POV)

“Oh,” said the purple haired girl. “Mal. Maleficent’s daughter.This is Evie, Evil Queen’s daughter, Carlos, Cruella de Vil’s son and Jay, Jafar’s son. Who are your parents?”

“Mine?” I asked. “I’m an orphan. We, RD and I, are from another world. We’re from the world of humans. And I am from Equestria, the land of ponies.”

“And you, Rainbow?” asked Evie, speaking for the first time. “Who are your parents?”

“Bow Hothoof and Windy Whistles,” replied Rainbow Dash.

“Boys,” said Mal. “Greedy little beggars, huh?”

“Yeah,” said Rainbow Dash. “My oldest friend, Fluttershy, has a brother called Zephyr Breeze. He drinks and smokes. He’s such an idiot. He has a crush on me. But I hate him. I’m attracted to...”

“To what, Rainbow Dash?” asked Evie.

“Doesn’t matter,” said Rainbow Dash. “Oops, there goes a message. Sunset, your diary is glowing!”

I looked up. “Oh.” I said. I opened the journal. In neat cursive handwriting, Twilight had written another message.

“She says that we(Dash and I) will only be at Auradon Prep until we turn 18. Or we do something awesomely good to make up for our actions.”

“AWESOME!” cried Rainbow Dash. “SO COOL!”

I rolled my eyes. “She thinks everything is awesome and has to be 20% cooler etc. Here, let me show you something awesome that Twilight sent me.”

“That’s ponying up,” I explained. “That’s when I wasn’t angry. Twilight filmed all this and sent it to me.”

“I see,” said Carlos. “We never had anything like it at home. I have to wash my mom’s feet.”

“Ew!” I said. “That’s horrible.”

“I have to steal from people,” piped up Jay. “My father expects me to.”

“Well, maybe we can help you,” suggested Rainbow Dash. “We may have done bad things, but Sunset and I have both experienced friendship. She’s the element of Empathy and I am the element of loyalty.”

“I see,” said Mal. “But I don’t want to be good. Cause...”

“WE’RE ROTTEN TO THE CORE!” chorused the 4 friends.

The 4 friends burst into song, Rotten to the Core.

“I’ll say,” I said. “I used to be a schemer. So I can relate to that. I was a high school bully.”

“Friends?” asked Mal.

I nodded. “Friends forever.”

This is one of my favourite videos ever.

and this is one of my favourite descendants songs.

So the next chapter is when they meet Ben and Audrey!

day 1: settling in (Sunset pov)

We settles into our dormitories, the boys in one, us girls in another. I sighed. “I guess you want to know what happened, but I’m just going to unpack my bag. Then I will tell you what happened. I’m just going to write to Princess Twilight, is that okay?”

Dear Princess Twilight,
Just arrived at Auradon Prep.
The rooms are really cozy and welcoming
I’ve made a friend, one of the villain kids, Mal.
See you soon!
Your friend, Sunset Shimmer

Dear Sunset,
That’s excellent!
I think that we can come on parent weekend.
Really miss you,
Your friend, Princess Twilight

Author's Note

This is settling in. The next few chapters will be Flashbacks of Sunset and Rainbow Dash.

Day 1: Flashback: Sunset Shimmer

“Well,” said Sunset, in the present day. “The story starts when...”

A masked figure hurried into the alleyway, dragging a young man. The young man was drunk, he had just come out with a friend out of the pub. "Let me go!" he cried. "Please!"

The figure clasped its hands around his throat. "I'll throttle you if you talk," the figure hissed in a menacing, soft, dangerous voice. The young man fell silent. The figure raised its arm high and plunged the knife straight into the heart. Blood spilled like a river burst its banks from it, onto the floor.

A piece of paper was in its hand, as the figure brought a piece of paper with these words:

Name: Sandalwood

Age: 16

Height: 5 ft

School: Canterlot High School

notes: the heart

The figure then brought a pen out and ticked a box next to his name.

The figure then hurridely folded the paper in half and slipped it in a pocket.

The second murder was just as brutal.

A 21-year-old woman, Lightning Dust, was murdered in a similar way, her throat was slit and had marks where they had fought.

Flash Sentry was sitting with the humane 6, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Sci-Twi on the steps of Canterlot High.

21 YEAR OLD WOMAN MURDERED BRUTALLY AT THE WEEKEND said the headlines on Monday morning.

Flash looked up from his paper. "Well, it'll be someone still working, right?" asked Flash. "The 2 murders all happened on Saturday evenings. It could be a student. But what is the motive?"

Twilight sidled next to Flash, nuzzling her head against his. "Maybe they want us. Remember Sunset and the memory stone, how angry she was afterwards?"

"It's not Sunset," said Applejack, standing up. "Ah know. She would never do that."

"Exactly!" said a voice. They turned, to see Sunset Shimmer standing there. "I didn't do it!"

"Don't lie!" shouted Rainbow Dash. "You did it!"

"Hey, don't accuse Sunny of such vile actions!" shouted Rarity. "Yeah, where were you, on Saturday?"

"Shopping," said Sunset simply. "See, I'm innocent!"

"Shopping," said Rainbow Dash. "I somehow don't believe that story."

"Guys, I'm gonna head in," said Sunset. "See ya!"

Sunset opened the door of the school, as she ran into an empty classroom

Dear Gilda,(said the text)

Meet me in the alley near The Sweet Shoppe

Gilda was walking home from Crystal Prep, the prestigious school in the city. Gilda's brown eyes widened as she saw an anonymous text. It was a number she didn't recognise.

Still, she followed its instructions. She went down the dark alleyway near The Sweet Shoppe. A rustle. Gilda turned to see a masked figure. "Hello, Gilda," it hissed.

Gilda screamed, but the figure stuffed a cloth in her mouth. "One sound from you," it whispered, "And you're dead."

Gilda's eyes widened in fear. "Can't I have something to eat?" she whined.

The figure opened a bag and gave her a donut. Gilda munched the chewy treat. She closed her eyes in peace, as she enjoyed the beautiful warm taste. The figure's heart leapt.

The figure smirked evilly as it brought down a rolling pin on her head.

the next evening, on Sunday, Rarity was walking with Sweetie Belle from the Carousel Boutique.

The figure was following them, stealthily keeping in the shadows. Then it grabbed Sweetie Belle. Rarity kept walking, then she noticed that Sweetie Belle wasn't with her. Rarity hurridely retraced her steps and hid behind a tree. Rarity's blue eyes were transfixed on the scene before her. A masked figure had stuffed a hankerchief in her mouth. Rarity nearly gasped, but didn't. Rarity saw that the figure raised a knife and ploughed it into her veins in her left arm. Sweetie Belle slumped, dead. The figure took the hankerchief out. A door opened and without realising, the figure dropped the cloth on the floor. Rarity pulled her rubber gloves on and pulled out her fingerprint set that Twilight gave her.

Rarity delicately picked it up and examined the fingerprints. But it was covered in snot and sweat it was hard to tell. A bloody shoemark was imprinted on the surface, 4 wavy lines as the sole. Rarity pulled out her notebook and wrote it down.

Suspects:

Trixie Lulamoon: Jealous of the mane 6 that they get all the attention. Hates Gilda, one of the victims.

Sunset Shimmer: One of my best friends, I know, but she has been known to kill before. She is angry that we left her because of Anon-a-miss and the Memory stone.

Rainbow Dash: Part of the team, she seems convinced that Sunset did it. Rainbow Dash isn't very honest and finds Gilda annoying. She hates Sweetie Belle.

Indigo Zap: Wasn't part in the Dance competition and has a grudge against CHS and hates Gilda.

Rarity ran to the steps of Canterlot High. Rainbow Dash hadn't arrived, she was still sleeping. "Good," said Rarity. "Here are the suspects:

Suspects:

Trixie Lulamoon: Jealous of the mane 6 that they get all the attention. Hates Gilda, one of the victims.

Sunset Shimmer: One of my best friends, I know, but she has been known to kill before. She is angry that we left her because of Anon-a-miss and the Memory stone.

Rainbow Dash: Part of the team, she seems convinced that Sunset did it. Rainbow Dash isn't very honest and finds Gilda annoying. She hates Sweetie Belle.

Indigo Zap: Wasn't part in the Dance competition and has a grudge against CHS and hates Gilda.

What do you think?"

"Rarity has a point," said Twilight. "It could be Sunset. But then, how could it be? She's our best friend. And Dash, well, again, she's our best friend and I guess you're right."

"I saw it happen," said Rarity.

Friday evening was coming around, Rainbow Dash was walking with Scootaloo from the football academy.

Rainbow Dash dropped Scootaloo off at her house. Rainbow walked across the street, whistling.

"RAINBOW, HELP!"

Rainbow turned. Scootaloo was being dragged off into an alley. Rainbow pulled her hood up and followed her. Rainbow gasped, as she saw Scootaloo's neck being slit.

"Now we know it's a knife," said Rainbow Dash. "Tell Rarity."

Saturday evening was the worst. Like a ninja, the figure jumped into Applebloom and Applejack's room. On tiptoes, the figure slit open Applebloom's veins. Then made a beeline for Applejack. The figure this time stabbed Applejack in the heart, like the first victim, Sandalwood. But why did anyone want to kill them?

Rainbow Dash arrived at school, her face pale. "Applejack's dead!" she cried, sobbing into Twilight's jacket. "I went to pick some apples up and then I went into her room and AB and AJ were dead and I saw Scoots get murdered too!"

Rarity pulled out her notebook and pen and crossed out Rainbow Dash.

"Okay," said Twilight. "I don't think it's Indigo Zap either. Hell, she doesn't know the crusaders!"

Late on Friday night, the friends were discussing in hushed voices who'd be doing what.

"Twilight, Flash, Pinkie." whispered Rarity. "Stay outside Sunset's house, find clues. Rainbow and Fluttershy, we're going to search- Fluttershy!"

Fluttershy's lifeless eyes stared up at the clear night sky. "Come on, Dash!"

"Hey, I think it's Sunset," whispered Pinkie. "The figure went into her house."

As if the figure knew someone was talking about them, the figure turned. Pinkie Pie stood frozen to the spot, like a rabbit in headlights. The figure chuckled. "Well well. If it isn't Pinkamena Diane Pie. The girl who has curly pink hair and loves parties and ditched me! You went out of your way to hurt me, now it's my turn to get my revenge. You wanna fight?"

"Yeah, and you will get cupcakes in your face!" cried Pinkie Pie.

"Ha." said the figure. "You can't beat me. I've known you since I was Queen Bee at CHS. And I know all your tricks."

"Sunset, No! We used to work together, what happened to all that?" pleaded Pinkie Pie.

"You betrayed me, every single one of you betrayed me! You hurt me, you ditched me and you forgot all about me! I told you the truth, but did Pinkamena and her precious friends remember me? NO! They did not! And now I'm out for revenge!"

Pinkie had moments left, then her mind went blank.

"Sunset?!" hissed Twilight from inside a bush. "She killed them? Because of what happened before? I dated her then she does that?!"

"I'm sorry, Twilight," said Flash, putting an arm around her. "She'll head for Wallflower. We have to follow her. Text RD and Rarity, now, and tell them to meet at the Sweet Shoppe!"

The 5 remaining members waited by the alley. A green-haired girl was walking on the streets, out of the Sweet Shoppe. Wallflower Blush. Wallflower was eating a donut, thinking about school on Monday, making it up to Sunset Shimmer. Little did she know she would not make it. She turned. She screamed. Then her mind went blank.

Twilight jumped out from their hiding place and placed handcuffs on her hands. Rarity ripped off the mask, as she stepped back.

"Sunset Shimmer! I thought I trusted you!" cried Twilight. "Then you go behind our backs, kill 10 people and now look! My father's coming, he's a policeman. Sunset, we were friends! You saved me in Camp Everfree, was that all fake, Sunny? Answer me!"

"No." replied Sunset. "I wanted to be a better person but the memory stone was my last straw. Twilight, I had to do this. You all betrayed me."

"Why didn't you tell anyone?" begged Twilight. "Why?"

"I had to!" cried Sunset. "I had no choice! You betrayed me! You heard me yell at Pie!"

"Why didn't you speak to Celestia or Luna or ME?" yelled Twilight. "Sunset, this is my fault. Our fault. I will tell my father that Dash, Rare and I are guilty. We caused this. I'm sorry Sunny."

"And me," said Flash. "I ignored you. You needed help, yet I did nothing to help you at all. We all deserve to go."

Twilight's father's car pulled up. "Dad, Sunset is guilty of the unspeakable crimes, but the 4 of us caused it. We abandoned Sunset when she needed help the most and she had no choice. Dad, take us as well. We deserve it."

"Twilight, no!" cried Sunset. "It isn't your fault. You should be free. No, take me and Dash. Dash has done unspeakable things as well. She's... she was a middle school bully and by accident, killed Score by punching him really hard."

"It's true," said Rainbow Dash. "Don't take Rarity, Twilight or Flash. Take me and Sunset. We deserve it. And I don't think Sunset could have ever killed me because... because when you 2 split up, Twi, Sunny and I were actually in a relationship and you found out. I would rather spend my whole life with someone I love, rather spend it on my own."

"Fine. Dash and Shimmer it is," said Night Light. "Twilight, I'm proud of you for alerting me."

“... And that’s what happened.” concluded Sunset, in the present day, later in the dorm. “So, you wanna hear about Dash?”

“Yeah, sure,” said Mal.

“Here goes,” said Rainbow Dash. “3 boys were bullying Fluttershy and...”

This is from Mal’s point of view, and the trouble the VKs get into.

heisting is bad idea(mal pov)

“THERE’s a FORCE FIELD?!” screamed Jay. “We have school tomorrow. Jesus! We’re gonna be in sooooo much trouble tomorrow!”

We ran out of the museum, into the yard, and into the dorm. We snuck into our beds. It was as if we were there all along.

Dear Twilight

Dear Twilight,
How are you?
Listen. I’m really loving Auradon.
I really miss you. I’m so sorry,
Your friend, Sunset Shimmer

Sunset sighed. “Anything?” asked Rainbow Dash.

Dear Sunset Shimmer,
Excellent!
I miss you too, and I can see you’ve repented.
I really want you to come back, but I’m not sure if you’re ready yet.
Your friend, Princess Twilight

did I mention(Ben pov)

Mal stared at me in shock as I threw myself into singing. She blushed, as she looked at Sunset Shimmer, the new transfer student. I threw my top at her, she caught it. Then I moved towards her.
“Come on, Ben.” said Rainbow Dash. “Congratulations party.”

Return to Equestria(Sunset POV)

Dear Sunset and Rainbow Dash,
I have some good news!
You’ll be returning to Equestria very soon, in a week!
I will be visiting to see how good you have both been and if you both want to stay.
Sunset, I also have bad news. Your mother and father’s bodies have been found and you will have to return for the burial. I know it will a sad return, so instead of doing community service, Celestia and I think it will punishment enough if you retake magic lessons with her.
Miss you lots,
Princess Twilight

I looked at Rainbow Dash, tears streaming down my face. “No!” I cried. “Mom and dad, they found their bodies!”

A pop. “Twilight!” cried Rainbow Dash, hugging her.

Twilight looked at me. “I’m so sorry, Sunset Shimmer. I can see you’ve improved since we last spoke.”

“Yeah,” I said sarcastically. “Not much if I’m capable of killing my own friends.”

“Look, you’re forgiven. You’re just an angry girl with a bad plan, that’s all.”

“I’m sorry, Twi.” I said.

“No, I realise that. During the Battle of the Bands, you created peace. That’s why I made you princess. And you’ve helped Mal become a better person, haven’t you? The Good cancels the Bad. So, please. Come back.”

Twilight took RD and mine hands and teleported us back to Canterlot city.

“Sunset!” cried Sci-Twi, giving me a hug.

“Twilight!” I cried. “I’m so sorry, Twi. I wish I could stay, but they found my parents’ bodies.”

I took Rainbow’s hand and we stepped into the portal together, Twilight following suit.

day 1: Letters to Twilight

Dear Princess Twilight,
I’m heading off to Auradon Prep! I’ve just met the 4 kids you mentioned in your last message. They seem...they need some friendship. Really miss you,
From Sunset Shimmer

Dear Twilight,
I am so sorry!
If you get this, please forgive me.
I never meant to kill Score or anything.
Your best friend, Rainbow Dash

Dear Sunset Shimmer,
That’s great news! Write to me when you settle into your dorm!
Your friend, Twilight Sparkle

Dearest Rainbow Dash(and Sunset),
Of course we forgive you! I know both of you are sorry.
Maybe the remainder of us can visit you in Auradon on Parent Weekend?
Your friend, Twilight Sparkle

Sunset sighed.
Hey Twilight,
I’m pretty sure that will be fine, but I’m not sure if my new school will allow it.
Send our love to Rarity and Flash,
Your best friend(and ex girlfriend), Sunset Shimmer

She looked out of the limo’s window, as it crossed the barrier to the Isle of the lost.
The driver then parked in front of a castle. 4 kids, about their age came out.
The first, a tall strapping young lad with long brown hair, chucked his bag into the boot then sat in the back row. The next, a shorter boy with platinum blonde hair, also chucked his bag into the boot and sat next to his friend. The blue-haired girl elegantly put her bag next to the shorter boy’s. Then she got into the middle row, where Sunset and Rainbow Dash were. Finally, a purple haired girl chucked her bag in the boot and shut it. Then she got in and sat next to Sunset.

The car drove off, towards the pier.
“Hi,” said the purple haired girl. “I haven’t seen you before. You’re new?”

Sunset nodded. “Name’s Sunset Shimmer. This is my girlfriend Rainbow Dash.”

These are letters to the 2 twilights. The next chapter is when they introduce each other.

Day 1:Ben(Still Sunset POV)

Author's Note

Please please please can someone correct the times for the library in Descendants if this is wrong? Thanks.

Day 1:Ben(Still Sunset POV)

Mal and I got out of the Limo first, followed by Rainbow Dash, Evie. Carlos and Jay were fighting. On the yellow raised carpet, were 3 people. A young blonde lad, of about 16, a brown haired girl, about our age and a woman in a blue dress. The young lad stepped forward. “It’s finally great to meet you all! I’m Ben, and this is my girlfriend, Audrey.”

“Prince Benjamin, soon to be King,” said Audrey. “I’m Aurora’s daughter.”

Ben shot Audrey a look. “And this is Fairy Godmother, the headmistress.”

“The fairy godmother?!” I exclaimed. “As in Bibbity Bobbity Boo?”

“That’s right, dearie,” said the Fairy Godmother.

“Aurora’s daughter, huh?” said Mal.

“Yeah,” said Audrey. “Totally don’t blame your mom for trying to kill my mom.”

“I don’t totally blame your grandma for not inviting my mom,” retorted Mal.

The 2 girls sighed. I shot Mal a look. Ben shot Audrey a look. “So,” said Ben, trying to break the awkwardness. “Um, so what’s your names?”

“Mal,” said Mal. “Evie, Carlos and Jay.”

“My name’s Sunset Shimmer. This is Rainbow Dash. Princess Twilight sent us to learn to be better people.”

“Why?” asked Mal. “What did you do?”

“I’d rather not talk about it,” I said. “I’ll tell you where it’s quiet.”

“And the doors of wisdom are always open,” said Fairy Godmother. “But the library opens from 5 am to 9 pm.”

“Great!” said Ben. “Come along.”

Day 1: Rainbow's story

Author's Note

In the previous chapter, you were reminded about the masked figure. For those who have forgotten. Now, you will see what Rainbow did.

Day 1: Rainbow's story

3 boys came up to Fluttershy one day at school. “Oh look.” said one. “It’s Fluttercry. The girl who always cries at everything.”

Rainbow Dash was watching them from a distance, with Applejack. Rainbow was fuming. “How dare you call her Fluttercry! Her name is Fluttershy, and she is 10 times better than you bastards!”

One of the boys, Score, tackled Rainbow Dash to the floor. The 2 of them fought, as they rolled on the floors of the halls, into a secluded area. Students were taking pictures, well, trying to. Score suddenly grasped Rainbow Dash’s neck, she was turning purple by the minute. Rainbow then fought Score off, tackled him to the floor. Then she swung her arm back, and punched him in the face. Then she repeatedly punched him in the stomach. Score retaliated for a bit. As he got weaker, she kept punching. Until he dropped dead. Rainbow gasped, as she realised what she had done. She had killed, manslaughtered someone for her best friend’s sake. Rainbow sank to her knees, as she checked his pulse, his last moments of life faded. Score was dead.

Applejack knelt beside her. Rainbow Dash buried her face into her shoulder, crying her heart out, trying to make up what she had done. It was too late. Besides, you can’t change the past.

“And that’s that.” said Rainbow Dash in the present day. “Sunset and I are going to catch some Zzzs. You joining us?”

“No,” said Evie. “Mal and I need to talk.”
