Spark to me (Sunlight fanfic)

„Thank you so much once again Sunset for taking me all the way home. You didn‘t need to, I would be okay taking the bus“ Twilight said for third time in ten minutes.

„Twilight, it‘s really nothing. I was thinking about going on ride anyways. And the people there were really...well” I said remembering people who looked like could pull out a knife from their pocket and stab you even for looking at them. And not that I don‘t believe Twilight couldn‘t protect herself, just... She may not get the chance. And it was not really a lie, it‘s nice outside and perfect weather for riding. So why not connect the useful and fun? Spending time with Pinkie shows.

„Well.. Still thanks“

„You should probably go back to studying... Or rehearsing for thousandth time. Not everyone’s lucky like me, and I know only solution for your anxiety will be just that, reading the textbooks and preparing even more.“

„You know me. And with that, I‘m saying my goodbyes. Be careful and I‘ll text you later. And don‘t stay up all night plying videogames!“

„I would never. And same goes to you. Don‘t stay up all night reading and stressing, please. Byee“

With that I put my helmet on and started my bike. A lot has been on my mind lately. Well, for last week mostly school, but even through that a spiky feeling has been bothering me. And I don‘t know what it is. Just really bad hunch. A hunch I just can‘t shake off. I‘ve been trying to list out all the things it could be.

SO, new villain. This is a possibility. But who? Where? When? Not a lot to go from. But still could be? It's something possible. Maybe after all of these fights I gained new extension on my power, so I can see future. Or just bad people coming to our's life. Maybe the extension is caused by Rainbows overusing her power again. But I haven't been hearing others mindproceses, so, yeah, possible, but not really.

Friendship problem? Jeez, I sound like princess. Maybe clue to go for visit? Like she magically inviting me through some pain in my amulet. But once again, not really realistic. Even tho, I should write her later, it's been some time since last. A lots been happening. Noting down.

Maybe the feeling... After what Wallflower did, I‘ve been seeing things from my past every time I close my eyes. All the memories of being the worst... No, I‘m not spiralling again. Been there, done that, have not helped.

As my monologue ended, so did my ride. I was finally home. Not that I don’t enjoy Twilights company or riding, but it was really long year. A little rest won't hurt.

I opened my door and collapsed on couch. Maybe I haven‘t realized it before, but the couch is sooo comfortable. And the cushions. And I couldn‘t sleep for last...few..nights.

*ringing*

„What time is it?“ I asked myself as I looked at the ringing phone. Twi was calling me. I picked up and put my phone back on table.

„SUNSET! FINALLY! All of us were trying to contact you but you haven‘t responded so we got worried!“

How long did I sleep?

„You ok? Are you there?“ Twilight asked and I finally looked to camera.

„Yeah, I‘m okay. I just had a small nap. What time is it please?“ I said as I tried to focused my eyes on screen. So bright. In contrast with the dark around me, it was even worse.

„Like 20:30? But you haven‘t been responding since yesterday.“

„What do you mean? I slept for like, three hours and before that I brought you home?“ With that I realized I need water. My mouth is really dry and so I stood up and went for it. It felt like ages since I last drank something.

„Uhm...Sunset? That was yesterday?“ With that, all the precious water I was drinking got spit to sink. „Don‘t tell me you slept for nearly 30 hours! Have you been even sleeping before yesterday?“ Twilight said stropily.

„Well, not much but I tried, and that counts?“ I was still processing the fact that I slept for so long. But I can‘t complain. That sleep was pretty sweet. I feel like I haven‘t slept that good for a very some time. And it explains why my mouth was so dry.

„SUNSET! You know staying up is not good for your brain! It makes you brain age like crazy.“

„It‘s not like it was a choice really. I just..couldn‘t sleep. And I tried. Just, a lot‘s been going on and you know, finals, yearbook, all of that. And the fact that my "aging" brain was trying to kill me with memories, well, it was not helping for sleeping“

For a while, there was silence. "But the stress of finals is gone and yearbook as well, so everything is great again. And I had a good sleep, so even better!" I said enthusiastically and smiled to camera.

„Sunset, if you ever need someone to talk you, you know I‘m here, right?“ Said Twilight with a concern in her voice.

„Yeah. I know. And I'm okay!“

„So please talk to me if somethings bothering you. We, Me and girls, are always there for you.“

„I will, I promise. But believe me, nothings wrong, don‘t worry.“

„I believe you. I need to go, father is calling from kitchen, but if anything, you know. Bye Sunset.“

„Bye Twi“

I never liked to talk about my feeling, from a little foal, to now human me. I know I can talk to them, but I know how it feels to know and would rather not and I don‘t want them to worry. The thing was probably caused by not sleeping and stress. And well, I told her the true, so yeah. And maybe I still see every face of everyone I ever hurt, or Celestia’s disappointed face, or... Yeah. That stone really messed up my brain. But it‘s something I can bear with myself and don‘t need to burden anyone else. Not like it would help, I would just feel more as burden to them and I don‘t need that right now.

*groul*

All I need now is something to eat and finally catching up with my favourite games. And that water would still be good with the fact that most of it ended up in sink.
