"Twilight?"

...

...

...

"Twilight..."

...

...

...

"Twilight!"

Twilight woke up startled, she looked to the side and noticed her younger brother, Spike, he was 12 years old, green hair, green eyes, and was wearing a purple shirt and green shorts.

"Spike, what's wrong?" Twilight asked, looking for her glasses and putting them on to see better.

"How long are you going to sleep?" Spike asked.

"What do you mean? What time is it?" Twilight asked, starting to get worried.

"Its hero time" Spike said with a smile.

Twilight threw a pillow at Spike's face, who laughed before pulling the pillow away.

"Now seriously, there are 44 minutes until class starts, Shining Armor won't be able to take us, and mom and dad left early today, and will be back in the afternoon" said Spike.

"And why didn't you wake me up before?!" Twilight asked, almost going crazy.

"I just thought you were going to wake me up, that's usually how it is" said Spike.

Twilight stopped to think for a few seconds, it's true, she didn't usually sleep late, especially on school days, but she remembered that the day before she went to the mall with her friends to celebrate that they were all together, and when she got home she studied for 3 hours and when she lay down she fell asleep in seconds.

"Oh no..." Twilight said worriedly.

"Well, I guess we're going to be late," Spike said.

Twilight stood up "no, no, no, we'll make it in time, we just need a quick shower, grab something to eat at school, and then run, if nothing happens we should make it with 3 minutes to spare!" Twilight exclaimed grabbing some clothes.

After taking a shower and getting dressed, Twilight and Spike ran to Cantelot High as fast as possible. The school wasn't far away, but it wasn't very close to their house either.

"How much time do we have left?" Twilight asked tiredly, but still running.

"6 minutes," Spike replied, looking at his phone.

Twilight could only hope to make it on time, she was already tired and wasn't very fast, she always focused on studying, she wasn't an athlete like Rainbow Dash.

*Whoosh...*

Something sped past Twilight and Spike.

(a car?) Twilight thought.

They didn't have much time to think about it, because they had to keep running to Canterlot High and they separated to each go to their classroom, Twilight entered her classroom... late... for the first time in her life Twilight Sparkle was late for a class...

...

...

...

She couldn't even recognize herself, she sat next to Rainbow Dash, without saying anything, Twilight had arrived late, 5 minutes late, this was something Rainbow Dash did, arriving late to school, usually because she slept too much, but now the opposite happened.

...

After some time, Twilight sighed as she heard her stomach growl, she had only eaten a piece of bread, now she could eat something, she was in the cafeteria walking to the table where her friends were, while carrying a tray with food.

(This day started off really bad, I woke up late, ran to school, arrived late, and because of the stress I couldn't concentrate, I hope the rest of the day is better-) Twilight couldn't finish her thought, because she ended up colliding with someone.

It was Sunset Shimmer, she was 16 years old, the same age as Twilight and her friends, her hair was red with yellow stripes, which Rainbow Dash used to call "bacon hair", aqua green eyes, Sunset wore an orange shirt, a black jacket, black pants, and purple sneakers with white laces, Sunset was smart, almost as smart as Twilight, but Sunset was not the nicest person in school... it was quite the opposite, she was as manipulative and competitive as Lightning Dust, and could be as intimidating as Gilda, Sunset was a teenager at Canterlot High, and unfortunately for Twilight, Sunset was glaring at her angrily, because her clothes were dirty and wet from Twilight's food and drink.

(oh sure) Twilight thought.

"Sparkle..." Sunset said in an angry, threatening tone.

Twilight looked around, and saw several students looking away and pretending that nothing was happening, because they were afraid of Sunset Shimmer and didn't want to get involved, leaving Twilight to her fate.

"Sorry Sunset, I didn't see you, I was distracted-" Twilight couldn't finish saying anything because Sunset approached.

Twilight sweated a little with Sunset in front of her, staring into her eyes, as if she was looking into her soul.

"Listen here Sparkle, I'm going to-" Sunset was interrupted by a voice.

"Are you guys going to fight or are you going to kiss?"

Sunset and Twilight blinked in surprise at the comment and the way someone simply broke the tension, behind Sunset was Rainbow Dash, this distracted Sunset who approached Rainbow Dash.

"You don't meddle where you're not called," Sunset said, looking at Rainbow Dash the same way she looked at Twilight.

However, Rainbow Dash didn't seem intimidated, in fact Sunset looked into Rainbow's eyes and it seemed like she wasn't feeling any emotion.

"If you guys want to fight or make out, you should do it somewhere other than the cafeteria," Rainbow Dash said.

The way she said it made it seem like she really believed it was something like that, Sunset grabbed Rainbow by the collar of her shirt and lifted her up a little.

"You..." Sunset said in a low tone filled with anger.

Sunset clenched her fist in anger, which only increased when she saw that Rainbow Dash didn't change her expression, but Sunset felt a strong grip on her shoulder, it was Applejack who had a serious expression that seemed to be containing her anger.

"Sunset... let her go," Applejack said in a serious tone.

Sunset stared back, but then thought for a moment, realizing that she was losing her composure, and would end up drawing the attention of some teacher, she decided to leave it aside for now.

Sunset sighs and lets go of Rainbow Dash "okay, okay, it's not worth stressing me out over this"

Sunset walked past Applejack and when she passed Twilight she whispered:

"This isn't over yet Sparkle," Sunset said before leaving the cafeteria.

"Are you okay Twilight?" Applejack asked.

"I'm... kind of... this day just keeps getting worse," Twilight said, looking at her food on the floor.

...

...

...

"banana" said Rainbow Dash holding a banana and handing it to Twilight.

"...thank you..." said Twilight holding the banana.

That was a tiring day for Twilight, she was never so happy to leave school, she met up with Spike and the two started walking home.

"How was your day Spike?" Twilight asked with a smile to hide that her day was horrible.

"It was great, I managed to get to class before the teacher who was late, I managed to do well in class, and I got the last hot dog of the day" said Spike smiling happily.

This made Twilight feel like it was a joke of the universe, Spike had a great day and she had a terrible day.

(Well, at least I think the worst is over) thought Twilight.

What Twilight didn't know was that there was someone following them. When she got home, Twilight lay down on her bed, tired. After what happened in the cafeteria, Twilight had physical education class, something she obviously wasn't good at, and because she was tired and hungry, she was much worse. The students had to do several exercises, where Twilight performed pathetically, but she noticed Rainbow Dash standing out in all the exercises. It was no surprise that Rainbow Dash was a good athlete in sports, but this was on another level, surpassing all the other students, girls and boys. This training that Rainbow said she had done was really having results.

(Well, at least we're all together again, that's a relief) thought Twilight before falling asleep.

Twilight woke up and saw two blue eyes staring at her.

"oi Twilight"

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Twilight screamed in fright.

After calming down, she realized it was Pinkie Pie, and her other friends were in the room.

"What are you doing here?" Twilight asked confused.

"Isn't it obvious darling? We wanted to come by and see how you were doing after having such a rough day," Rarity said.

"Oh, I'm fine, I just needed to rest" Twilight said.

"Aren't you worried that Sunset Shimmer will try something with you?" Fluttershy asked.

"ugh, don't even remind me, as if she doesn't hate me enough" Twilight said sitting down on the bed.

Sunset seemed to have something against Twilight long before the cafeteria accident, probably because Twilight had surpassed her in intelligence, and Sunset didn't like being surpassed in anything, Twilight thought that now things would get more difficult.

"Just punch her," said Rainbow Dash.

"Rainbow, please don't encourage violence," Fluttershy said.

"I also think it's not the best idea, violence doesn't solve anything" said Twilight.

"Yeah, not to mention that Twilight is very weak, has thin arms, doesn't know how to fight, has never played any sport in her life, at most a walk from here to the library" said Pinkie Pie.

"Thanks Pinkie Pie..." Twilight said sarcastically.

"damn" said Pinkie Pie smiling.

"Well Twilight I think you better be careful, Sunset Shimmer can be cruel, manipulative, vengeful, and smart" Applejack said with her arms crossed.

"I know... but at least it can't get any worse," Twilight said.

...

...

...

"Did you seriously just say that?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Rainbow, this is real life, this cliché won't happen just because I said so," said Twilight.

"You know what?" Rainbow Dash said until she realized something. "Is that notebook computer new?" Rainbow asked as she noticed a purple notebook.

"Yes, I got it 3 months ago, it was a gift from my grandmother, very useful to replace the one you and Pinkie Pie destroyed" said Twilight looking at Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.

"Sorry, but how were we supposed to know it wasn't apple soda approved?" Pinkie Pie defended herself.

Twilight sighed "Anyway, this notebook is modern, and very expensive, besides it was a gift from my grandmother, so I will never lend it to you again, it has several important things for me, notes, assignments to hand in, my lists of things to do..."

"Your Wattpad account, where you make +18 yaoi and yuri fanfics..." Rainbow Dash said before dodging a pillow that Twilight threw.

"Idiot..." Twilight said angrily.

"It was just a joke" said Rainbow Dash standing up

"Where are you going?" Applejack asked.

"I'm going home," Rainbow Dash replied.

"But already?" Applejack asked in surprise.

"Yeah, I have to talk to my parents about something," Rainbow Dash said as she walked to the door.

"What thing?" Applejack asked.

Rainbow Dash turned around with a big smile "None of your business" Rainbow Dash replied before opening the door "Bye"

After Rainbow Dash left, Applejack looked irritated.

"Are you okay darling?" asked Rarity.

"Yes, it's just that Rainbow Dash is back but... there's something strange about her" said Applejack dejectedly.

"Well... I noticed that, sometimes she acts like the Rainbow Dash we know, but most of the time she's indifferent to everything around her, talks a lot less than before, and seems a little more distant" Fluttershy said.

"Well, I guess she hasn't been talking to many people since that fight," Rarity said.

They continued talking for a few more minutes, before leaving and leaving Twilight alone to rest.

(It was a hard day, but tomorrow should be better) Twilight thought.

Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash was walking down the street when she noticed someone familiar on the other side of the street.

(I recognize that hair...) Rainbow Dash thought.

The next day everything seemed better, Twilight managed to wake up early, eat calmly before going to school, arrived on time, and didn't see Sunset Shimmer all day, now she was walking home calmly next to Spike.

(That's great, after what happened yesterday a calm day like today was very satisfying) thought Twilight with a smile.

"you are calmer today"

"Yes... Rainbow?!" Twilight jumped and almost fell to the ground in fright when she noticed Rainbow Dash walking beside her.

"oi" disse Rainbow Dash.

"Hi Rainbow Dash... when did you show up?" Spike asked confused.

"I've been hanging out with you guys since we left school," Rainbow Dash replied.

...

...

...

"No you weren't," said Twilight and Spike.

"I was, I just didn't say anything," said Rainbow Dash.

"I don't know what's scarier about this, you practically being a ninja or you following us without saying anything for 10 whole minutes" said Spike

"May I know why you're following us?" Twilight asked.

"I wanted to ask for help with my math homework," said Rainbow Dash.

"Why didn't you ask while we were still in school?" Twilight questioned with her arms crossed.

"Because I didn't want to," Rainbow Dash replied.

...

...

...

Twilight sighed, it was clear that Rainbow Dash hadn't changed at all.

...

When they arrived at Twilight's house, the three noticed something strange.

"Is the door open?" Spike said in surprise.

"Shining Armor and my parents shouldn't be home this early, and I'm sure I locked the door before I left," Twilight said worriedly.

"I'm going in," Rainbow Dash said seriously as she entered the house.

Everything looked normal, nothing broken or out of place.

"Wow, thank goodness, it looks like no one came in," Spike said in relief.

"We have to check the rooms," Twilight said.

They went upstairs, and entered the rooms to make sure nothing was stolen, Twilight's parents' and Shining Armor's rooms were normal, upon entering Spike's room everything seemed normal too (smelly and messy) Spike ran to his wardrobe and opened a drawer.

Spike sighed, "Thank goodness, my comic book collection is still here," Spike said in relief.

"Is that what you're worried about?" Twilight said with her arms crossed.

"Yeah Spike, who still reads comics these days? Mangas are way better," said Rainbow Dash.

Twilight sighed as she saw the two losing focus, until she remembered that there was still one more room they hadn't seen, hers. Twilight ran to her room, opened the door and to her horror saw her room destroyed and messy, the curtains ripped off, clothes torn, her bed had been broken, and on the wall someone had used red spray paint to write "nerd bitch". Twilight fell to her knees in disbelief, and then began to cry.

"Who would do something like that to Twilight?" Spike asked in surprise and disbelief.

"I think I know who would do that," Rainbow Dash said with a serious expression that wasn't normal for her.

After comforting Twilight and making her calm down, Rainbow Dash sent a message to her friends telling them what had happened, and it wasn't long before they arrived worried, and when they entered Twilight's room they were surprised.

"Oh my god..." Applejack said as she saw the state of Twilight's room.

"Who could be so cruel?" Fluttershy asked in surprise.

"Sunset Shimmer" disse Rainbow Dash.

"Are you sure it was her?" Rarity asked in surprise, she knew Sunset Shimmer could be cruel and vengeful, but not to this level.

"It can only be, Sunset has problems with Twilight, Monday she seemed to want to kill Twilight, and at night when I was going home I saw Sunset, going in the opposite direction to Twilight's house, and today she didn't even go to school" explained Rainbow Dash.

"We have to call the police!" Rarity exclaimed indignantly.

"I was thinking about calling, but we don't have any proof that it was her, Sunset knows how to hide evidence, Spike asked the neighbors if they saw anything, but he said that none of the neighbors saw anything" said Twilight.

"When it's not a couple fighting, none of the neighbors pay attention," said Rainbow Dash.

"And I think if we accuse Sunset of doing this, and it's not her, it'll give her one more reason to hate me," Twilight said dejectedly.

"Twilight, you can't leave this like this darling, Sunset or not the guilty party has to suffer consequences" said Rarity with her arms crossed.

Twilight sighed, "Alright, I'll call the police..."

"Twilight... where's your laptop?" asked Pinkie Pie.

Twiight widened her eyes and realized that her notebook was not in the same place where she had left it, and since she did not see any pieces of it on the floor, it had probably been stolen.

"They stole him..." Twilight said in shock.

After a few hours it had gotten dark, Twilight called the police, Shining Armor and his parents arrived, they were worried and angry that this had happened to their daughter/sister, Shining Armor was a police officer, and when he found out what had happened he was more than willing to arrest the criminal, but after hours of investigation he had to tell the result.

"Sorry Twilight, but we didn't get any leads," said Shining Armor, he was a tall man, with fair skin, blue eyes, and blue hair, with three shades of blue, and he was wearing his police uniform.

"No clue? How is that possible?" Spike asked in surprise.

"Whoever did this has the ability to leave no traces, no footprints and no fingerprints, there are no cameras on this street, nor in the house, he entered and left through the front door without anyone seeing, he didn't leave even a hair behind" said Shining Amor.

"I don't believe this," Spike said in frustration.

"Not me, Twilight, can you think of anyone who could have done this?" Shining Armor asked worriedly.

"I... no... I can't think of anyone," Twilight said dejectedly.

"I see... if you have any suspicions please let me know" Shining Armor said before walking away to talk to his parents.

"Why didn't you tell him?" Spike asked.

"I... I think it's better this way," Twilight said.

"Twilight you had your room destroyed your laptop stolen" said Spike.

"Spike... let's just ignore this..." Twilight said dejectedly.

Meanwhile Rainbow Dash was also talking to a police officer, and managed to hear Twilight.

"Do you have any idea who it might have been?" asked the police officer.

"No, I don't," Rainbow Dash replied.

After that Twilight went to Rainbow Dash's house to spend the night there.

"Thanks for letting me sleep here Rainbow, I... I didn't feel comfortable at home" said Twilight, entering Rainbow Dash's house.

"It's okay... we're friends" said Rainbow Dash.

"Rainbow... why didn't you say anything about Suqset Shimmer to the police officer?" Twilight asked.

"because YOU didn't want to tell" Rainbow replied.

"... I'm a coward... I want justice but Sunset is something that really worries me" Twilight admitted entering Rainbow Dash's room.

"You don't need to be afraid, we are friends, you have me, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rarity, if she spreads rumors or tries to hit you we will protect you" said Rainbow Dash placing a mattress on the floor.

"...thanks..." Twilight said smiling "I think I understand Applejack now"

"What do you mean?" asked Rainbow Dash confused.

Twilight shook her head with a smile, "Nothing, it's nothing..."

Twilight stopped smiling and returned to a worried expression.

"Twilight, is there something in that notebook that worries you?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I... also have a diary there... I wrote a lot about my feelings... my thoughts... my secrets..." said Twilight lying down on the mattress.

"Are you worried that Sunset or anyone will find out your secrets and spread them around?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"sim..." disse Twilight.

"... Twilight do you know where Sunset Shimmer lives?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"What are you going to do?" Twilight asked even more worried.

"A visit," Rainbow Dash replied with a smile.

...

Sunset Shimmer lived in a dangerous part of the city, where there were more robberies, kidnappings, etc. She lived in a house that was not very big, nor very small, it was her uncle's house, who was almost never home. She was sitting on her bed, while fiddling with a notebook that she had just gotten.

"No password? I thought you were smarter than that Twilight" Sunset said smiling.

"I think it's because she didn't expect someone to break into her house to destroy her room and steal her laptop"

"True, but I still should have put a password" Sunset said.

...

...

...

Sunset looked to the side and noticed Rainbow Dash sitting next to her, making Sunset startle.

"How did you get in here?!" Sunset asked, surprised, scared and angry, surprised that Rainbow Dash had come in there without Sunset noticing, scared that Rainbow Dash had found out what Sunset had done and had seemingly appeared out of nowhere.

"The window was open," Rainbow Dash replied.

"...what?" Sunset looked out the window.

Sunset's room was on the second floor, which was 5 meters high and had no trees or anything to make it easier to get in through the window.

"How did you do that?" Sunset asked.

"I jumped" Rainbow Dash replied.

"...forget it, get out of my house, or I'll call the police!" Sunset exclaimed irritably.

"I will, but only after you return Twilight's notebook," Rainbow Dash said, pointing to the notebook.

"That's mine, not hers," Sunset said, trying to defend herself.

"I heard you talking, and I saw that the wallpaper is a picture of Twilight, me and the others," said Rainbow Dash.

"Ugh, okay, you got me, this is Twilight's, but you can't prove anything to the police, I can get rid of this notebook, and deny anything they say, I didn't leave any traces in Twilight's house when I broke in, they'll never know it was me" Sunset said smiling.

"ugh, okay, you got me, this is Twilight's, but you can't prove anything to the police, I can get rid of this notebook, and deny anything they say, I didn't leave any traces in Twilight's house when I broke in, they'll never know it was me"

Sunset's blood froze when she heard her voice say that, then she noticed Twilight at the door of her room with her cell phone in her hand, she had recorded the conversation.

"You..." Sunset could feel the anger rising.

"Not as smart as you thought, are you?" Rainbow Dash said with a smile.

"Listen Sunset, we don't want to fight, we can resolve this peacefully if you give me back the notebook, we won't need to involve the police" said Twilight.

However Sunset didn't listen or care, she advanced on Twilight, grabbed her by the collar of her shirt and slammed her against the wall, making Twilight wince in pain.

"Do you always have to ruin my day?" Sunset asked irritably.

"But what did I-" Twilight couldn't finish because Sunset punched her in the stomach and knocked her to the ground.

"Come on Twilight, fight back" said Rainbow Dash watching.

Twilight noticed Sunset trying to grab her cell phone, but Twilight got up and jumped towards Sunset, knocking her down and punching her in the face.

"Very good Twilight" said Rainbow Dash picking up her cell phone from the floor so it wouldn't break.

Sunset pulls herself together and pulls Twilight off, the two get up, Twilight tries to punch Sunset's face again, but before that Sunset kicks her in the stomach, knocking her down, Twilight tries to get away from Sunset and get up.

"Why do you always have to show up?!" Sunset exclaimed.

"Why do you hate me so much? What did I do to you?" Twilight asked, not understanding why Sunset hated her so much.

"You ruined everything!" Sunset screamed.

Before Sunset could attack Twilight again, someone grabbed her arm.

"Alright, that's enough, there's no point in fighting," said Rainbow Dash.

"Don't get involved," Sunset growled.

"Well, she's my friend, so of course if you hurt her I'll get involved," said Rainbow Dash.

Sunset used her free arm to try to hit Rainbow Dash's face, but Rainbow tilted her head back to avoid it, Rainbow Dash released Sunset, and began to dodge and block all the blows, Sunset was frustrated, Sunset wasn't just smart, she was strong, she had fought many times in her life, but she had never met anyone who could overcome her like that.

Sunset tried to punch her in the face, Rainbow Dash tilted her head to the side.

Sunset tried to hit her with a kick in the stomach, Rainbow Dash jumped back.

Sunset tried to hit her with a high kick, Rainbow Dash defended with her forearm.

(damn... why can't I?) Sunset thought frustrated and tired.

Rainbow Dash seemed to be faster, stronger, more resilient, and a better fighter. Sunset knew that Rainbow was an athlete, but she didn't know that she was so strong and that she fought well.

"Tired?" Rainbow Dash asked with a smile.

"not yet..." Sunset tried to attack again, trying to punch Rainbow Dash in the face.

Before Rainbow was hit, Sunset felt a sharp pain in her stomach and lost her breath, falling to the ground.

(What...what happened?) Sunset thought, squirming.

Rainbow Dash had hit her with a strong punch in the stomach, and then approached Sunset.

"Twilight won't press charges, there's no point in fighting," said Rainbow Dash.

"I-I... your..." said Sunset trying to get up.

"You're smart, you know that? You two could be friends if you stopped being so... mean," Rainbow Dash said.

"I would never be friends with her..." Sunset said frustratedly.

"I don't know why you hate her so much, and I don't care, if you don't want to be friends with her that's fine, I just suggested it, but you also don't need to treat her badly, you don't need to treat others badly, and you certainly don't need to break into someone's house, destroy their things and steal a laptop that's worth more than the house itself" said Rainbow Dash.

Sunset was silent, Rainbow Dash walked away and saw Twilight with her notebook.

"Luckily she didn't mess with much," Twilight said in relief.

"Are you okay?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Better now" Twilight replied smiling, then looked at Sunset on the floor "do you think she'll be okay?"

"I don't know and I don't care," Rainbow Dash replied.

After that the two returned to Rainbow Dash's house, luckily Rainbow Dash's parents weren't home so they didn't have to explain anything to anyone, Rainbow Dash lay down on her bed, and Twilight on the mattress.

"Well... that was definitely something I didn't expect," Twilight said.

"It was pretty peaceful," Rainbow Dash said.

"Rainbow, why did it take you so long to help me when Sunset and I fought?" Twilight asked.

"I just wanted to see you defend yourself, when I saw that things were going to get worse I intervened" Rainbow Dash explained.

"I see... I didn't know you fought so well," Twilight said.

"I already told you I trained" Rainbow Dash said.

"The results were really impressive," said Twilight.

"Yes, they were..." said Rainbow Dash.

"...where did you go when you left my house yesterday?" Twilight asked.

"I've been preparing for something," Rainbow Dash replied.

"And may I ask what that would be?" Twilight asked.

"I want to start boxing training... officially, at the gym nearby," said Rainbow Dash.

"You're a boxer?" Twilight said in surprise.

"Yeah, I've been thinking, maybe that would be something better to do, I'm stronger, I don't play sports anymore, boxing would be something cool..." Rainbow Dash explained.

"...good luck..." Twilight said smiling.

"Thank you," Rainbow said.

The two lay down, and after a few minutes of silence Twilight spoke.

"Rainbow..."

"what?"

"you are a good friend"

Author's Note

This was chapter 5, sorry for the delay, and if this chapter isn't very good, I had some problems with creativity, because I wanted to make Sunset appear, have some problem with Twilight, Rainbow help solve it, it was difficult to write, the original idea was that it would be a chapter focused 100% on Twilight's point of view, like in chapter 2 with Applejack, then I changed it, there will be chapters focused on Rainbow Dash and other friends, and characters, but the next one will be Rainbow Dash and Applejack again.
