Sunset's new life

~0~

5:00 am

Yesterday was fun, I was hanging out with "Friends" without even showing my shyness. Although that shyness still lives in my body, I'm going to let it stay; Fluttershy without shyness is like Cereal without milk. This is like my alter ego cause I don't show it too often. I had bad memories about this side of me...

I took a quick shower and prepared myself to meet someone I had already promised to meet up with at Wonderbolts Statue, and she left her Eagle pet because she's on vacation this week, and now she's home. I must give it back to the owner. The weather outside is cold and snowy, so I decided to wear my winter jacket and a red scarf.

I pick the Eagle from the bird stand and put it on my shoulder. It's funny cause the Eagle is soo friendly even asked me to pet her head, different from the owner of this Eagle. If I remember, Princess Twilight, this is too Ironic cause in her world, this owner is an Eagle.

After 15 minutes of walking, I finally saw the Statue from a distance. The more I closer to the Statue, I saw a figure leaning on the Statue while holding a baseball bat. I took a deep breath and approached that figure.

"Gilda."

The figure turns around and starts approaching me too, and before you ask, I'm going to say 'yes' that figure is Gilda.

"Oh Fluttershy, it's been a while huh?"

We are already faced with a distance of 1 meter away from each other. She starts to intimidate me by giving me a stare. If she is going to play like that, I'm not going to lose either. So I stare at her back until we have an intensive staring contact.

And then we burst out laughing after a long staring contest as I gave her eagle back.

"Here's your eagle Gilda, Healthy and joyful," I said as the Eagle fly from my shoulder to Gilda's.

"Aww, Thanks flutters she looks happy than usual. Is she eating one of your hamsters?" She asked a little bit worried.

"Don't worry she's not, she's a good girl." I giggled

"Glad to hear that. Speaking of the girl, wanna go to the studio shy?" She asked offering me to go to the studio, the studio that she has for her group and I am one of them. As you can see, Gilda and her friends made a music group name 'The Eagles' when they were bored. All of their music is about Rap, Hip hop, and Rock that will be uploaded on MyMusic, and so far they already have 206k listeners from that platform. They also upload their song on Youty and so far they had 100k followers

She asked me if I can join them since the other band seemed doesn't want me around me anymore, I took this opportunity and join them. Fun fact, Gilda isn't that bad. We often record a song on Saturday if we are ready, if not we usually just talked, play games, and more but it was worth it cause they're fun people and cool too.

"Sure, Jus-"

"FLUTTERSHY!!"

Oh, shit not good...

Meanwhile, with Sunset, she is just busy doing her own business such as composing new beats, lyrics, and everything about their music career. And yes they created a band named 'Dazzling it out' a rock band with 4 members Sunset, Aria, Sonata, and Adagio with one manager, Twilight. A platform such as MyStable, MyMusic, and Youty with a lot of followers and listeners. Usually, they have some sort of collab with other bands or groups like 'The eagles', 'DJ PON-3' and so much more, also hold a charity show with them mostly with 'The Eagles'. Their motivation? Simple, so they can have money for living, and KIDS.

Just to clarify the kids one, they like to perform for kids, not perform to kidnap Kids.

Sunset rested her head, closed her, and hoped a rainbow of ideas coming washed her head which unfortunately never appeared. At least before Twilight burst into her rooms with a lot of paper in her arms panting her way in.

"Woah, easy there Tiwly, What was that?" Sunset asked raising and eyebrows.

"A bunch of posters of our signature for fans, better start to sign that Sunshine. The others already sign this including me." Twilight explains.

"Too much work..."Sunset groaned and then get back to her laptop, "I'm searching for an inspiration Twily, do you have something on your mind?"

"I don't know, how about another collab with some band and then you write the lyrics together with them and then boom Viral music this year, " Twilight randomly said but it made Sunset's face lit up.

"OF COURSE, THAT'S IT!!" Sunset shouted as she stumbled from her bed but quickly stand up and walk in Twilight's direction. "Can you call 'The Eagle' Manager right now, we have some collab to do. Thank you for the idea! Twilly you're the best."

Twilight seems surprised by Sunset's sudden outburst but goes along with it anyway, "Aight, I'm gonna call her. What is her name again? Glenda? Glida?" Twilight said putting her hand on her chin.

"It's Gilda babe, you can call her later."Sunset said closing her laptop, "But first, I'm hungry. Let's get something to eat!"

Sunset kissed Twilight's cheek as she ran out of the room riotously which made Twilight giggle before she shouted, "No running in the hallway!!!"

Too late, with her clumsiness, she stumbled upon the stairs before hitting the fresh and cold floor. Adagio who accidentally saw Sunset stumbled in front of her helped her up while chuckling.

"What got you so excited, Sunset?" Adagio offered help with his hands which Sunset gladly accepted.

Aria joins the scene while holding a box of cereal in her right hand, "Let me guess, new idea for the song?"

"Well yeah, I'm too excited to try this idea cause I think this is the best idea I've ever thought of in my whole life," Sunset explained.

"That's good Sunset, We knew that we can always count on you." Adagio put her hand on Sunset's shoulder smiling, "Except for cooking in the kitchen, No offense."

"None taken, I'm bad at cooking though." Sunset shrugged as she glanced over Aria who still holding the box of cereal, "Wait, you ate the cereal without MILK?!"

"The milk has run out, what can you do?" Aria said as she straight up ate the cereal from the box.

"Well, I guess I'm gonna buy some milk today." Said Adagio walking to the door and taking her jacket,

Aria frowned before she folded her hand and said, "Are you gonna leave us just like the way our dad leave?"

Adagio turns around rising her eyebrow confused about the thing that Aria said, "Huh? Are you drunk? We don even have a dad."

"Sorry, caught off in the moment hehe..." Aria laughed nervously as Adagio shrugged it off and face the door.

Before her hand touched the doorknob, suddenly a loud thud sound was heard from outside the door which made Adagio startled until she fell to the floor in shock. Sunset quickly ran to Adagio and helped her while Aria open the door still holding her cereal.

"EYO WHAT THE- Wait are you RainbowDash?" Aria said which earn a surprising look from Sunset.

After helping Adagio, Sunset walked towards Aria and saw a rainbow short-haired girl laid on the ground holding her head while groaning and muttering some stuff, "Aww, Horseapples that hurts."

"Wait...RainbowCrash.."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Fluttershy froze as she saw Rainbow Dash approach her with anger on her looks. Gilda stepped back a few steps because she knows Rainbow wanna have some private talk with Fluttershy, just in case something happened between them she was also in her fighting position.

On Fluttershy's side, she is scared cause she saw Rainbow dash so mad and what makes it worse it seems she is mad at her. Fluttershy's heart says she should run away but her body won't make any movement, she just prayed everything would be alright. But little did she know, everything is not gonna be okay.

"Fluttershy explain this!!" Fluttershy flinched in fear as Rainbow dash take her hand to drag her a little bit farther from Gilda, Fluttershy refuses Rainbow Dash's hand by pulling her hand back.

"W..What's w..wrong dash-" Rainbow dash cut her while shoving her phone confront of Fluttershy's face.

"DON'T YOU DASHIE ME AND START TO EXPLAIN THIS!!"

Fluttershy takes a look at the phone and saw the pictures of her friends and her yesterday. She thought it was nothing but rather just a normal picture of them having fun, but then Rainbow Dash becomes more stubborn and rude to Fluttershy.

"I... it's just..m..me and my f..friends hanging out, n..nothing else..." Fluttershy said nervously which earn an angry shout from Rainbow Dash.

"NOTHING ELSE!! You hang out with the 'Anon A Miss', The evil sirens, and the Shadowbolts. They are evil criminals Shy, they could have hurt you. But then why do you choose them rather than CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS RIGHT HERE, HOW ABOUT US?!!" Rainbow Dash said losing her tempers.

Fluttershy thought should she shows her alter ego or not, with the fact that Rainbow Dash almost crossed the line. After a tense silence, Fluttershy speaks up the first to break the silence with a more significant tone than before.

"What do you mean you guys are my friends? You guys abandoned me after my statement on Sunset's innocent status."

"Well we're not abandoning you, you're the one who decided to stay away from us and cut our Friendship shy!!"

"WHAT!! ME?!? Ever since I said that statement you guys have been like keeping your distance from me, I sat next to you girls, and then you girls leave. You're the stubborn one Rainbow Dash!"

"Me? Come on, you're too soft and shy. Even for the girl who gained our trust and then betrayed us. You're the stubborn one Shy, you cut our friendships just for a traitor like her!!"

"She's not a traitor okay? Someone frames her to make you all believe that Sunset is still evil and come back to the old her. If it was her, she can do better rather than this BULLSHIT as if she trying to target herself not someone. She prefers the blackmail rather show some secret to the stupid public, like what does she earned from that. Think Dash Think!!"

"She tricks you to think like that Shy, now you take the bait she can manipulate you anytime. Like right now, you never shout at anyone but today you shout at me. She already manipulates you shy, try to think any of it. The sirens were there too, the group of shit that can control people just by hearing their voice, and then you'll be under their control. They work together to manipulate us again s-"

"First of all, they are not shit they are my friends. Secondly, we destroyed their pendants so they can't absorb and control anyone again. Why you didn't think that far Rainbow Dash?!?"

"We're not talking about them, we're talking about our friendship. The thing that you leave and cut it off after all the things we've been through."

"No shit Sherlock, the only right thing is YOU GUYS is the one who abandoned me!!"

"What's wrong with you Shy?! Now you blame us!!"

"That's the truth Rainbow Dash, I'm disappointed with you girls!"

"WHAT!! THE ONLY DISAPPOINTED THING IN THIS WORLD IS YOUR MOM WHO LEAVES YOU ALONE WITHOUT BEING RAISED BY SINGLE PARENTS AND YOUR UNCLE IS TAKING CARE OF YOU BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING EXCEPT CRY YOUR ASSES OFF!!" Rainbow Dash rage toward her without even realizing what she said is 100℅ wrong and hurts Fluttershy deep.

Gilda flinched over the last word Rainbow Dash said, meanwhile Fluttershy's heart dropped as she falls to her knees with heavy breathing. Even though she was a bully one time, she never said a cruel word to Fluttershy that involved her past.

Gilda who saw this and heard what Rainbow Dash just said to Fluttershy tackles Rainbow Dash to the ground and shakes her body maniacally, meanwhile her Eagle flies away to the top of the Wonderbolts statue

"DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU JUST SAID ITS HURTING FLUTTERSHY!!"

"She deserves it!!"

Gilda looks at Rainbow Dash with both disappointed and mad eyes, raising her hand while the other one is holding Rainbow, and preparing to beat Rainbow Dash with her hand is on the air ready to hit Rainbow Dash.

No don't do it is not worth it, You've changed Gilda don't do it. Gilda thought to herself. Her hand stops in the middle as she glances at the poor Fluttershy who stared at the ground blankly.

"Usually, I'm gonna beat your ass off until you can't move a single fucking bone. But I already make a promise to change and never choose violence in everything, but I have a word for you Dash." Gilda stand up with a cold glare and walked to the broken Fluttershy, "If you laid your dirty hands on one of my friends, especially Fluttershy, I'm not gonna hold my punches anymore and make your life is a living hell. You're fucked up you know, much worse than me in my bully's time. You hurt my friends and lastly, you crossed the line..."

"What did I do? I'm just saying the truth abo-" Rainbow Dash stop in the middle of the sentence as she finally realized she shout a sensitive topic to Fluttershy, "oh my god, I'm so sorry-"

"Yeah, you are, Fuck off will you!!" Giles helped Fluttershy stand up and give her a piggyback leaving the Rainbow-haired girl froze dumbfounded.

"It's okay Flutters, I'm here for you and I will protect you no matter what"

Fluttershy was surprised by Gilda's words, she didn't expect that Gilda would protect her no matter what. This makes her both touched and happy, one person opens a wound in her heart but someone else comes to cover the wound.

She tightened her grip on Gilda's shoulder and started crying silently, she was happy. However Gilda realized this but she wasn't bothered at all, she was just glad she can make someone comfortable around her

I wish I can help you more... Gilda's last thought before she walked down the streets carrying a broken shy...
