Every Dark Night Turns Into Day
Chapter VIII
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“Do you think Sunset is actually coming?” Blossomforth asked me hopefully as I stared at the clock above the wall. “Cloudkicker?”
“Huh?” I shook my head and stared at her. “Sorry I got distracted. What’s up?” Blossomforth rolled her eyes and sighed.
“I asked if you thought Sunset would actually show up here.”
“Oh uh maybe? I’m not entirely sure. She wasn’t exactly enthused with us hanging out around her locker for about a month and a half,” I answered as I lifted my strawberry shake and stirred it with a straw.
“It was pretty stalkerish of us,” Raindrops admitted as she leaned back in her chair. “I’d be mad if someone did that to me at my locker. Just waiting around the corner.”
“Don’t say it like that. You make me feel like a criminal. And you could get mad at anything,” Blossomforth grumbled. She sipped her chocolate shake and sighed contently. “This place might be better than Sugarcube Corner.”
“Don’t let Pinkie Pie hear you say that,” Flitter warned. “That’s a good way to end up dead. Or worse.” I raised an eye brow at her.
“What’s worse than death?” Flitter paused and rubbed her chin.
“I don’t know,” she admitted. “Maybe she would use us as biology experiments. Or a sex slave.”
“Yeah I really don’t think Pinkie is the type to have a sex slave,” Cloudchaser scoffed. “She’s too bubbly and happy for that.”
“It’s always the happy ones.”
“What do we do if she doesn’t show up? Just leave?” Raindrops asked worriedly. “She’s probably busy with Derpy.”
“Oh her,” Flitter grumbled. I gave her a dirty look.
“Be nice,” I chided. “Derpy is a nice person. And you better put a lid on it around Sunset because here she comes. And she’ll probably break your arm in four different places. We all saw how she handled Cherry Crash.” We all gave a shudder at the memory of watching her kick Cherry repeatedly in the face.
The fiery haired girl entered the small family owned cafe with a grey haired girl behind her. I raised an eyebrow at that. I didn’t know Sunset had a sister. I know she had mentioned a sibling during that famous assembly when she got proven innocent. Maybe this was her sibling she had talked about.
Sunset stepped to our table with her hands on her hips and the grey girl paused behind her, playing with her ponytail draped over her shoulder.
“Hey Sunset!” Blossomforth smiled warmly and greeted her. Blossomforth nudged a chair with a foot and nodded at it. “Please sit down. I don’t want you getting tired and all.”
Sunset and the shorter girl sat down next to each other and in between me and Blossomforth. We all looked at each other and I decided to break the silence.
“So is that your sister?” I asked and nodded at the grey girl. Sunset and the girl made eye contact.
“It’s complicated,” Sunset admitted finally. “Her name is Silver Spoon. She and her sister Diamond Tiara are living with me and mom.”
“Interesting,” I mused as a waiter came up.
“Can I get you two anything?” She asked, producing a note pad and pen.
“I’ll have a strawberry shake,” Sunset said and the women scribbled on her pad. “You want anything Silver?”
“No.”
“Then take my shake off please,” Sunset shrugged. “It wouldn’t be fair for me to have one and you not to.” The two girls had a staring contest before Silver Spoon sighed.
“I’ll have a chocolate and vanilla shake. Can we uhm get some chili cheese fries too?” Silver asked in a failed attempt to hide her hopeful expression. Sunset chuckled.
“I would say yes but the others aren’t eating. It wouldn’t be fair them either,” Sunset said.
“I’ll take a hamburger,” Blossomforth announced. “And fries too. Add it to my tab that I already got. No mayonnaise please.”
“I’ll take the same as her,” I said.
“I’ll just take a chicken alfredo please,” Raindrops waved a hand. “Pasta is the best thing since water.”
“Salads for us,” Flitter and Cloudchaser said in unison. The waiter nodded and looked back at Sunset.
“Do you still want the fries?” She asked.
“Yeah sure. Me and Silver can share em,” Sunset said and the waiter started to walk away. “Can you add some oats to my shake?” The waiter paused and gave a confused look her way.
“I’m sorry?” Sunset faintly turned red.
“Never mind. However you make it is fine.”
“Uh okay?” The woman walked away with a confused expression still on her face.
“So where’s Diamond Tiara?” Raindrops asked curiously.
“At the mall with mom,” Sunset replied cautiously. “She’s getting decorations for her room. Silver wanted to come with me.”
“Mhm,” the grey girl agreed quietly.
“So uh how’s my cousin?” I asked Sunset. She stared at me in confusion.
“I don’t know your cousin.”
“Yeah you do. Lavender Lace,” I answered.
“Oh she’s good. I didn’t know you two were related.” I sighed and nodded.
“Yeah. It’s kinda complicated right now between the two of us. At least she is doing good,” I admitted. The two of us had gotten into a shouting match about Sunset’s innocence and she hasn’t said a word to me since. That was the first time she had ever raised her voice to me. Let me tell ya, I was stunned. I was her favorite cousin. I don’t know if I am anymore.
“I can believe that,” Sunset said coolly. I didn’t know if I should take that as an insult or not. “She can get mad at times fairly easily. She’s a good teammate.” I flinched and looked away at the jab at us being teammates on the soccer team. I didn’t know if it was intentional or not, but it still hurt.
“That she is,” I admitted. “She’s a good person.”
“Got that right,” Sunset agreed wholeheartedly.
“Sunset about the whole anon a miss thing,” Blossomforth started to say before Sunset cut her off with a raised hand.
“I don’t wanna talk about that right now. I just want to enjoy my night out with Silver.”
