Sunset was sure this day would never end. Did she even need to learn about poems and their "deeper meanings" anyways? Her eyes glanced at her paper, and then the board. Her paper most mostly empty, compared to the almost completely full board of complex words, "deeper" meanings and diagrams.

"Sunset Shimmer. Could you please tell us who William Shakespeare is, rather than day-dreaming?" Miss Harshwinnie asked. Every singe student in that room stared at her.

Sunset swallowed her anxiety to the of of her stomach. "He was a writer and poet in the 1560's. Born 23rd April. He lived to be 52 years old before he died."

She smirked. "And how, Miss Shimmer, did he die?"

"Trick question," she said. Nobody knows." She shot back.

Miss Harshwinnie smiled. "Good. At least somebody asides from Twilight is paying attention. But, by your paper, some writing needs to be done before you leave."

Sunset nodded. "I apologize."

"Apology accepted," She said, turning around. "Now can anyone tell me..."

The bell finally rung and everyone rushed out the door, asides from Sunset, who was almost done, and Twilight who, unlike some people, cares about the state of her desk after lesson. After her final pencil was packed away, she sat next to Sunset, who was deep in writing. Their fingers magically intertwined as Sunset smiled and didn't feel stressed. well, as stressed as before, but still.

Twilight looked out the window just in time to watch as a bright light hit the forest, and faded. "Sunset, did you see that?" She asked, gently shaking the girl, snapping her concentration away.

"See what?" Sunset asked, looking out the window. "There's nothing there."

Twilight rolled her eyes. "You weren't looking, so obviously you saw nothing! There was a bit flash of light near the forest and then it disapeared!"

Sunset shrugged. "Knowing our luck, it's probably an Equestrian artifact."

Twilight had basically dragged Sunset outside after her work has been completed. The sun has been beating down for the past 3 hours, and in Sunset's case, wearing leather in the middle of the summer wasn't a good idea.

Sunset huffed. "Get searching. We can find them whatever it is soon and send them back to Equestria." The two went off in opposite directions, but failed to notice the single arrow in the dirt.

Sunset walked along the small dirt path. It did lead to the school greenhouse, but ever since Wallflower transferred to another out-of-town school, nobody took is seriously and most kids used it for drinking or smoking in school. It was rundown, hardly safe for anyone to be here in the first place. Sunset walked all the way aroune, before something shone in the wreckage. She couldn't see much, but it was a golden colour. She couldn't reach it from outside, so she had to go in to retrieve it.

The greenhouse itself was overridden with the small insects that had claimed it home. The further she went in, the smaller and more cramped it got. Finally, she reached the...weapon? If looked like a crossbow? It was plated in gold, and looked as if something was out of place.

"No, no." She told herself. " This is going back to Equestri- ohmygodithasmycutiemarkonit" Sunset sighed. "It's a coincidence. it's not yours."

Twilight screamed. Without thinking again, she ran over to where her area would of been. She was surrounded by wooden wolves. Timberwolves. Sunset thought. But that's impossible, they're only in Equestria!

Sunset winked at Twilight. "HEY!" she yelled. All the wolves that were focusing on the lavender girl were now focused on her. "GO AND PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE!"

"Sunset, you're their size!"

Sunset deadpannes. "Oh, shit."

They charged at the girl, who shot every single one of them until they were reduced to nothing but piles of log and leaves on the floor. No blood spilled, to their relief.

"Sunset, behind you!" Twilight yelled. Sunset turned around just in time for a paw to scratch down her eye. Blood fell from the wounds, thank Celestia they weren't that deep, otherwise, the siruation would be more serious, and the amber girl would be in more pain. Before her, stood another wolf.

She growled at it. "I will do to you what I did with your little army!"

He chuckled. "Quite a funny one, aren't you? I didn't want you to give you that..injury, but I have my reasons. I don't want to kill you either. Just give me those weapons and I'll leave you and your little school alone."

"Weapons?" Sunset asked. "Twilight, did you find one?"

She nodded and showed the bow in her hand, along with a quiver on her back, full of arrows. "I picked it up and I got attacked."

The wolf growled. "Give me the weapons. I won't ask again. They're important to a cause way more serious than this world could handle."

Even though Sunset hardly knew anything about these weapons, she knew how powerful they were. In the wrong hands, or even paws, they could be destructive. Instead of playing it passive, she looked towards Twilight. "You know how to use that thing?" She nodded and stared the timberwolf straight in his eyes.

"No."

He laughed once more. "Excuse me, what did you just say to me?"

"You heard me. I said NO. Sunset shot back.

The wolf growled. "You don't know what you've just done. I'm a forced to be reckoned with. when I choose what I want. Youre lucky I let you walk away. Being a leader takes work, y'know." He walked off into then forest and Sunset fell down to the ground.

"Sunset, we're going to the hospital. That looks bad enough, and it's probably infected."

The girl nodded. Twilight helped her up and they walked out of school grounds, with their weapons in hand, wondering what they were.

Sunset was in the hospital room. The silent buzz of the overhead lights were the only thing that could be heard.

Sighing, Twilight broke the silence and shifted in her place."Crossbow, huh?" She said, looking at it. "Looks old and rustic, yet it still works like new. Definitely Equestrian magic."

"Whatever they are," Sunset started. "I'm gonna kill Starswirl one of these days."
