My Past Is Complicated

“So what now?” Lavender asked as we gathered around a small table in Sugarcube Corner. This was the best meeting place we could all agree on because it was in between all of our houses. Made sense to all gather here. I was just worried if the Rainbooms would come in. Or the Raingoons as Fuschia calls them. She has a deep seated hatred for them, even before anon a miss started.

“I’m not sure,” Lyra admitted as she bit into a cookie. “We haven’t done much. Sure the principals are investigating this but they aren’t getting anywhere really.”

“Mainly because they have a lot of students to investigate. Apparently Rainbow Dash is a suspect,” Vinyl chimed in. “That’s what Sunset overheard at least.” We all looked at the fiery haired girl slumped over a notebook writing.

“What’s she’s doing?” Fuschia asked with a raised eyebrow. Lavender and Trixie shared a curious look as they watched Sunset scribbling in the book.

“Writing to Twilight,” Bon Bon explained. “Anything she writes in that book ends up an identical copy back in Equestria. It’s how they communicated after the fall formal.”

“You mean the horse world?” Lavender inquired curiously.

“Pony. Not horse,” Sunset said softly. She kept writing before closing the book and leaning back with her eyes closed in her seat.

“What were you telling her?” Fuschia asked. Sunset let out a breath.

“Talking to her about anon a miss. She’s coming through the portal in about an hour with some mutual friends of ours. To say she’s mad with Rainbow and the others would be an understatement of the year. I don’t think I’ve seen her mad before.”

“Is she even capable of being mad?” Vinyl chuckled. We all let out a laugh at that. Sunset gave a nod.

“She was furious when she was fighting Tirek if what Spike told me was true. She was very angry that day.”

“Makes sense,” Lyra admitted as the doors opened and two groups came walking in. We all glanced at the sirens along with the same girl from lunch come walking in, giving the Rainbooms dirty looks. We all gawked at the black eye on Rainbows face and the multiple bruises.

“Sunset!” Adagio waved at us as she and her sister came walking over. “We’ve been looking all over to talk to you!”

“Why what’s up?” Sunset asked curiously. My eyes drifted down to their hands. Aria, Adagio and the mystery girl had bruises all over their hands.

“We just got back from our trip to the mountains when we heard about this anon a miss shit show. How ya holding up?” Aria asked as she gave Rainbow a cold smile and I had a faint idea of what happened.

“Pretty shit. I’m not okay,” she admitted as I hugged her. “Thanks Derpy.”

“This is Lightning Dust,” Adagio nodded to the girl who gave us a nod of acknowledgement.

“I was trying to remember her name. Hey Lightning,” Sunset waved shyly. The girl was joining Aria in glaring at Rainbow before she glanced back.

“Hey Sunset.”

“I’d love to stay and chat but I have to get to the portal. Twilight is going to be here shortly and I promised I’d be there to greet her,” Sunset announced. We all stood up with her, glaring at the Rainbooms who were watching us like hawks.

“We will tag along,” Adagio announced as she stepped past the other group. “Hey Dash hope the eye heals quick.” Aria and Lightning Dust laughed as we followed them outside.

We stood in front of the wondercolt statue, Sunset pacing back and forth checking her phone often. Lavender and Fuschia were playing a game on their phones while Trixie was talking to Lyra. Sonata was laying on top of the statue while Aria was laying in the grass snoring with Lightning and Adagio sitting next to her, balancing sticks on her head. The two often laughed when it looked like Aria was about to wake up.

“Who do you think she’s bringing with her?” Vinyl asked as she was messing with a app on her phone and making music.

“I have no clue. Probably Spike or Starlight,” I admitted. Apparently she didn’t tell Sunset who was coming with her. That was slightly concerning.

“Nah it’s not Starlight. She is busy with her friendship lessons with my worlds Applejack right now. Something about scrapbooking I think? I’m not sure. She also has to do something called chillaxing with Rainbow. Whatever the hell that is,” Sunset shrugged as she placed her hands on her hips and stopped in front of the portal as Adagio joined her at it. The statues surface started to ripple as Twilight shot out of it. A yellow skinned girl, a blue one, a mint green girl, white one and a light yellow one joined her shortly after along with a cream skinned girl with pink and blue curls along with Spike.

“What the buck was that?” Minuette moaned as she pressed a hand to her head.

“I don’t even know,” Twinkleshine grumbled. “If someone could get their hoof off my plot, that would be greatly appreciated.”

“Sorry!” Lemon Hearts exclaimed as she looked at her hands and screamed, scrambling backwards. “What in Luna’s name happened to my hooves?” Moondancer glanced at her and screamed herself.

“What the hay is wrong with your body? Your mane and tail is gone!”

“So is yours!” Lemon Hearts shouted. The two clung to each other and screamed.

“My god,” Fuschia muttered. “Gonna have a migraine after this.” Twilight looked up and froze at Adagios out stretched hand as Equestrian Lyra and the others stared at us. Primarily at Sunset with shocked expressions on their faces.

“S-Sunset?” Minuette stammered. “Is that you?”

“Yep,” Sunset admitted nervously as she helped them up. “It’s me.”

“I think I’m gonna vomit!” Equestrian Bon Bon commented. “Just give me a- blergh!” She painted the sidewalk half eaten hay fries and we all looked away in disgust, Octavia covering her mouth with a hand as she turned slightly green.

“Hey there Princess,” Adagio purred as Sunset gave Twilight an encouraging nod. Twilight hesitantly took her hand and was pulled up. “Been a long time.”

“It has. Where is the Rainbooms at?” Twilight demanded. I guess she was furious as Sunset had said based on her expression.

“Sugarcube Corner,” I announced.

“Thank you Derpy. I’m gonna go have a conversation with them.”

“Twilight wait!” Moondancer called out and the girl stopped walking. “Where are we gonna sleep? Is there a stable or something?”

“You can stay with me I guess,” Sunset shrugged.

“And Twilight can stay with us!” Adagio announced.

“Are you sure?” Twilight asked cautiously. Adagio gave her a grin and waved her hand.

“Oh I insist.”
