I stepped outside the Sugarcube Corner and stared at the sun in the sky. Everyone else had already gone home and I sighed as the door was pushed open behind me.

“Penny for your thoughts love?” Octavia asked as she and Trixie joined me.

“Just tired is all,” I laughed bitterly. “I should be happy that this over. Yet I’m not. I mainly feel exhausted.”

“This did take a lot out of us all,” Trixie admitted. “Trixie is glad this is over.”

“Me too,” Octavia agreed. “I did cut off ties and canceled all my clothing orders with Rarity. Bon Bon and her mom cut off ties with Applejacks farm.”

“Trixie is sorry,” Trixie mumbled. “Trixie didn’t like you after the fall formal. She shouldn’t have thrown the disappearing dust in your eyes and called you a demon. You are Trixie’s friend. She isn’t good at talking about feelings but Trixie loves you all. You’re her great and powerful friends. The other students call Trixie a retard for speaking how she does. She appreciates you all being her friend.”

“Careful Trixie,” Octavia chuckled. “Keep this up and people will think you’re going soft as Vinyl would call it.”

“Nonsense,” Trixie scoffed. “Nobody has what it takes to go up against the Great and Powerful Trixie.” I smirked and rolled my eyes.

“Got that right,” I agreed as I hugged her.

“Hey! Unhand Trixie!”

“Nope!” I chuckled as Trixie struggled. “Say please.”

“Please unhand Trixie,” Trixie said. Wow I didn’t actually expect her to say that. I stepped back and smiled at Octavia laughing.

“Wait, didn’t you hug me?” I asked. “Back in the bathroom when I thought you three were gonna jump me.”

“Yes she did,” Trixie admitted. “Trixie does like hugs but it’s rare. She does give great hugs, does she not?”

“That she does,” I readily agreed. She did give pretty good hugs for someone who wasn’t too fond of touching. “I’m sorry as well for vandalizing your magic show freshman year. It would have been pretty good to see.”

“We have another one planned this month,” Trixie proclaimed. “Her great and powerful friends get free tickets! They can be used in the show! Sunset’s mom and aunts and cousin can attend! On the fifth!”

“I think I would like that,” I smiled. “About those fireworks, how did you get fireworks that had my cutie mark and face?” Trixie gave me a smug grin.

“Lavender makes all of our fireworks. She is a genius when it comes to them. All of our shows and the battle of the bands, she made the fireworks. Chemistry and other science classes are her favorite classes. Only ones she cares about to be honest,” Trixie explained. Me and Octavia gave each other stunned looks.

“That’s actually impressive,” I said. “I didn’t know that.”

“Yeah same here,” Octavia agreed. “That’s cool. I should ask her how she does that.”

“Trixie is sure her friend will be happy to teach you all. Some of Lavenders more risky fireworks tend to blow up in our face. Sometimes literally.”

“How haven’t you guys gotten injured?” I asked in surprise. Having fireworks blow up in a person’s face sounds life threatening.

“Trixie may not look it but she and her friends can run fast when they need to,” Trixie snickered.

“Okay well I’ll see you guys around before school this week,” I waved as I started to walk down the street. “We have the groupchat so I’ll text and call you guys later.”

“Where are you going dear?” Octavia called out as she and Trixie watched me walk.

“The roof of the school. Going to watch the sunset. It’s my place to think,” I explained.

“Alright stay safe,” Octavia said.

“Have fun!” Trixie smiled enthusiastically.

I eagerly pushed the door to roof stairs open and bounded up them. The schools roof was my favorite place to sit and watch my namesake. Me and mom often sit up here and talk or just watch the sun set. Nobody really comes up here either except me and my group my now. We have chairs and a small coffee table set up on the roof.

I remember when Rainbow had helped me record my past is not today up here. She had been eager to help me with it along with Pinkie. The two stayed after school late into the night, recording an editing. We were free up here because like I said no one comes up here. Imagine my surprise when I saw a short young pink girl sitting on the edge of the roof. I cautiously approached her as she glance back, glaring at me angrily. Her expression softened when she presumably realized who I was.

“Oh hey Sunset,” the girl mumbled as I sat down next to her. She sounded familiar but I couldn’t place where I remembered why or how.

“Hey. What are you doing up here?” I asked.

“Same thing as you I would assume. This is a good place to think.”

“I know,” I chuckled. “I come up here often.”

“I know. Everyone knows. It’s common knowledge. We usually stay away because it’s your area.” I didn’t know that. Maybe that was the real reason people left this area alone.

“Got something on your mind?” I asked curiously. She gave a nod and stared at the sun setting, painting a orange and red portrait across the sky as her mouth formed a hard line.

“Yeah. When anon a miss posted one of my secrets, me and my sister got into a screaming match in the hallway. When we got home, our mom had heard about and beat us within an inch of our lives. Apparently we messed with her reputation or something with the school by having a fight in front of everyone. If only she knew everyone was busy screaming at each other to care about us.”

“I’m sorry. That’s shitty of her,” I sighed. “Did you think I was guilty of anon a miss?” The girl chewed on her bottom lip before looking away.

“Do you want the truth or the lie?” She finally asked.

“The truth,” I said and braced myself.

“I didn’t really have the time to think about who it was or wasn’t. I was busy trying to hide from my mother,” she admitted. “Me and my sister both were.”

“Your father didn’t do anything?” I asked.

“He doesn’t care as long as he gets money in his pocket,” she clenched her fist before sighing. I growled quietly in anger as we watched the sun set. She hesitantly pressed her head against my shoulder and I slowly wrapped an arm around her. I had no idea who this girl was but I still felt bad for her.

“It’ll get sorted out.”
