Point of View - Sunset Shimmer

Missing a call was not something Sunset was unfamiliar with. She usually missed a few due to her still not being fully comfortable in the group. To her she was really only close with Twilight, someone who she keeps an eye on. As well as Sunset’s own girlfriend, Pinkie Pie.

Sunset with the prompt of Pinkie venting would have joined the call sooner, however she had not checked her phone for half an hour due to a new RPG releasing.

She had just finished the difficult section when she saw the texts on a loading screen and started to ignore the game completely. She hated to say Pinkie Pie venting was something sunset wanted slightly. It was not that she wanted to see Pinkie hurting, but It was hard to see the genuine feelings of the pretty pink girl. Even though the two had been dating for two year, Pinkie still never intentionally showed her emotions. Sometimes it would slip, like when they learned Pinkie was distantly related to AJ. Sunset remembers Pinkie being more melancholy about it, and that confused Sunset further. Pinkie and Applejack were the closest friends Sunset had ever seen.

No matter what Sunset Shimmer considered she always came to the same conclusion. Pinkie Pie was more mysterious and complex than any magical problem she had ever seen, and the Pinkie Pie on video in front of Sunset was even more confusing. Pinkie Pie had an ingenuine big smile with obvious tear stains, hard to make out in the night lighting of the seeming parking lot she was in. She was holding a two liter of soda in one hand.

"Hey Babe, are you alright?" Sunset said in reply to a greeting. The question seemed to not phase Pinkie. She started walking around the lot she was in, Sunset recognized it as the craft store near Pinkie’s house. Sunset had no reason to, but she grabbed her phone and started looking for the keys to her bike. She had a motorcycle over a car and thought she might need it tonight.

“Oh, pfft ya Shimmy I am fine, I-,” Pinkie was cut off by a stern voiced Applejack. It clearly annoyed Pinkie; she lost control of what the narrative was.
“Pinkie Pie, Do not lie to her you are not fine,” The voice was like a mother who needed her kid to say what happened without incriminating the kid.

“Pinkie,” Fluttershy said in her sweetest voice, “It is alright to not be okay, Everyone has a right to not be alright with everything.” The tone was so sweet, yet it turned Pinkie’s face to pure venom, an expression not seen on Pinkie Pie by any of them.

“Pinkie,” Sunset said in her best tone of reassurance, “We are here for you, I am here for you, What is wrong Pinks?” The question made Pinkie’s face soften a bit before she started laughing emptily.

“I just let a little too much slip tonight that is all, Things I thought I would never say ever, ever,” Pinkie was trying to keep the upbeat tone in an attempt to lessen what she was going to say, “Like the groping at every party in highschool. Like how I have a little too much to drink every few weeks, or how I have blacked out and woken up in peoples houses, or how if I go home right now I will die!” Pinkie started laughing as Sunset sat there shocked, to add to the shock in the laughter Pinkie threw up all over herself, and yet she just laughed.

“Pinkie,” Sunset and Applejack said together but Applejack let Sunset continue, ”What do you mean you will die if you go home?” She was saying this while getting dressed for the road, she was going to get to Pinkie tonight.

Pinkie stopped laughing, “It is in fact,” She started to joke again to the discomfort of everyone and then in an impression of a 1880s oil tycoon, “None of your beeswax.” Clearly loving her jokes she started laughing again, all hollow.

“Pinkamena,” Applejack said in her ‘default’ voice, meaning no vocal feminization leading to a voice to rival Big Mac, as well as loving anger, “You need to let us help you god damnit, you are tearing yourself to bits!”

“What do you know AJ,” Pinkie said instantly, picking up the venom of before, “You know nothing Applejack,nothing.” Sunset could only sit witness to the argument, she had never seen Pinkie like this.

Applejack was getting frustrated, “I know that right now you need to fucking help! So let us help you Pinkie, Please!” There was frustration and desperation in equal measures.

“No Applejack, how about you just worry about your own problems. I know you have plenty of those,” Pinkie said with sass and anger, “I will worry about mine, make sense you bumpkin bitch. So fuck you sir.” The outburst from Pinkie was shocking and it led to a gasp from Fluttershy.

There was a pause after the words were said, then Applejack said flatly, “I am not gonna sit here and watch you fall apart,” and Applejack left the call.

“Pinkie what the hell was that!” Sunset shouted concerned and a bit upset. Applejack had only come out recently and that was uncalled for, but most of all she just wanted to keep Pinkie Pie safe.

The three remaining people were silent as Pinkie was staring to the distance. She then started throwing up uncontrollably as Sunset and Fluttershy could only watch.

“Pinkie,” Sunset said slowly, “She was right, you need to let us help.” Sunset was already dressed and had her keys in hand, but she just watched as pinkie's flat face morphed to almost tears, then anger, then just sadness.

“Goodnight,” Pinkie said firmly yet somberly as she left the call with a frown.

“Pinkie!” Sunset shouted and Fluttershy finally started to cry, Sunset was freaking out, scared that Pinkie was going to do something drastic. “Fluttershy try to call her, I know where she is.” Sunset Shimmer did not wait for a response as she hung up the phone and ran to her bike.

All concerns of safety left her as she sped down the road. It would take twenty minutes to get to Pinkie and she couldn't waste a second of that.

Then the clock hit 12:30 am
