A/N: Hello everypony, I am back with the first chapter of this story. I have a bit of an obsession (I prefer interest) with the Equestria Girls series and particularly Sunset Shimmer. I will talk about that more in blog where I review episodes and movies from the MLP franchise. Anyway, this is a story I put together and am too excited to sit on. I hope to create a series starting with this.
Disclaimer: I don't own My Little Pony
It was a chilly Fall night in Canterlot City. The starry night above was only interrupted by glow of the street lights that lines the sidewalks. In the city suburbs, the night stars were much more visible thanks to a lack of light pollution. At Canterlot High it was another quiet night. However, this changed when the front of the Wondercolt statue began to glow. A pony - rather a person - came through the portal.
"My head." said Sunset Shimmer, on all fours
Sunset massaged her temples until she noticed something. She pulled her hooves back only to find two weird objects with five bony appendages sticking out.
"What are these?" asked Sunset.
Sunset quickly looked around gathering her senses.
"I' near a city. At least I don't have to live in the woods." said Sunset.
Sunset looked forward and noticed the large building in front of her.
"I wonder what this place is." mused Sunset.
Sunset galloped over on all fours to the building and climbed the stairs. She then attempted to open the door with her magic.
"Why is it not working?" asked Sunset.
Sunset looked at her reflection in the glass and noticed something missing.
"My horn! Where's my horn!" cried Sunset.
Sunset staggered back when she noticed a flier taped to the door. She skimmed over it.
Canterlot High is proud to host its annual Fall Formal. Willing students are needed to help setting up. Anybody interested in running for Princess of the Spring Fling come to my office.
"So...this is a school." mused Sunset.
Sunset looked at the bottom of the flier and saw two creatures that appeared to be dancing. What surprised Sunset was the fact they were not on all fours.
"These things are bipedal." said Sunset.
Sunset took a deep breath and raised her front limbs up. She staggered, but luckily the railing was there for her to hold onto.
"This feels too weird." thought Sunset.
Sunset shook her head and tapped on the door.
"Locked." sighed Sunset, "I'll have to return tomorrow."
Sunset turned and slowly walked down the stairs.
"This is easy." spat Sunset, almost tripping.
Sunset reached the bottom of the stairs and noticed something on the street: a battered 1987 gray Cadillac Cimarron. Sunset walked over to it.
"Is this some kind of horseless carriage?" asked Sunset.
"Hey!" cried a man.
Sunset turned around to see a portly security guard with a flashlight.
"Oh no." said Sunset.
The guard began running (as best he could) toward Sunset. Sunset turned and instinctively ran off. By the time the guard reached the spot Sunset had been standing, she was long gone.
"I...don't...get...paid...enough...for...this..." panted the guard.
Sunset made it a half mile before she had to stop to take a breath. She was amaze how well these creatures could run on only two legs. Sunset then made her way to the city where she more of those horseless carriages. Sunset staggered around like a fish out of water until she came to the Hay & Stay Inn. Sunset entered where she saw a clock which revealed it was almost ten o'clock at night. A woman in a white blouse with purple skin, black hair and green eyes stood behind the desk. A badge on blouse read "Elaine" on it.
"I need a room." said Sunset.
"Just a moment." replied Elaine.
Elaine turned to a machine next to her. She tapped on a panel of keys well looking at a screen in front of her.
"I'll have to figure out that...and a lot of other things." thought Sunset.
Elaine looked at her computer a little more before turning to Sunset.
"We've got a few rooms open." said Elaine.
"Great. I'll take one." replied Sunset.
"Well, it depends on your price range." revealed Elaine.
Sunset felt her heart drop into the pit of her stomach.
"I don't have any money." revealed Sunset, wincing.
Elaine winced herself displeased at this revelation.
"I am sorry, but we cannot help you." said Elaine.
Sunset left the hotel displease with the outcome. She wandered around Canterlot City for a while. Sunset reached the park and began to stroll through it. Sunset reached a fountain in the center of the park and saw benches surrounding it. Sunset decided, with no where else to go, to sit down.
"Well this is just great." said Sunset sarcastically.
Sunset let out an annoyed sigh.
"First I need to find somewhere to sleep." continued Sunset.
The former pony stopped and looked around.
"I could sleep here." mused Sunset.
A cold wind blew causing Sunset to shimmer.
"Screw that!" spat the former pony.
Sunset shook her head.
"l wonder if I could get into that school." mused Sunset.
Sunset taped her finger on the table.
"It would be difficult. I'm sure they'll dig into my background." noted Sunset.
Another chilly wind blew by.
"Damn Celestia!" cried Sunset angered.
Sunset rubbed her arms to keep herself warm.
"If that bitch just let me learn about the mirror from the start this wouldn't have happened." stated Sunset.
Sunset looked down at the bony appendages.
"How in Equestria can these things use these?" asked Sunset.
Sunset laid down on the bench, but she quickly sat back up.
"I can't sleep on this." sighed Sunset.
Sunset got back up.
"I'm have to find somewhere else to sleep." stated Sunset.
Sunset stood up and stretched.
"I have no clue where I'll go." noted Sunset.
"Hold it." came a masculine voice.
Twilight saw a man standing before her. He had wore white sneakers, blue jeans and a black jacket. He also had brown hair. The man suddenly pulled out a knife.
"Give me your money." demanded the man.
Sunset blinked realizing what was going on.
"I don't have any money." noted Sunset.
"You better not be lying!" snapped the thief.
Sunset turned her pocket inside out revealing they were empty.
"I'm not." replied Sunset.
The thief let out an exasperated sigh.
"Dammit!" snapped the man.
The man stopped for a moment then a smirk came across his face.
"Give me the jacket." demanded the thief.
Sunset grimaced at this.
"No." replied Sunset.
"You got some connection to it?" asked the thief.
"I'm not going to do anything for a lowlife piece of shit like you." answered Sunset.
The thief snarled at this.
"Okay, that means I can do it the hard way." said the thief, smirking.
The thief began closing in on Sunset.
"Shit." thought Sunset.
The thief began getting closer until he heard sirens closing in.
"Shit!" cried the thief.
The thief turned and ran off. Moments later, a police officer arrived.
"Are you okay?" asked the officer.
"Yeah." answered Sunset.
Sunset looked at the badge - Officer Shinning Armor.
"Why does that name sound familiar?" asked Sunset to herself.
Shinning Armor reached into his pocket and pulled out a notepad. He then pulled out a pencil from the binder.
"Okay, please tell me your name." requested Shinning.
"I'm Sunset Shimmer." answered the girl.
Shinning wrote this down.
"Okay, what where you doing here?" asked Shinning.
Sunset thought for a moment carefully considering what she'd say.
"I was out for a night stroll." answered the former pony.
Shinning wrote this down.
"I decided to rest when the guy approached me." continued Sunset.
Sunset thought for a moment, wondering how long he had been following her.
Please continue." requested Shinning.
"He pulled out a knife and demanded my money." said Sunset.
"How much did he take?" asked Shinning.
"I don't have money on me." answered Sunset.
"What happened next?" asked Shinning.
"He demanded my jacket." answered Sunset.
Shinning continued to write this down.
"That's when you arrived." arrived Sunset.
"Did he get anything?" asked Shinning.
"No." answered Sunset.
"I need a description of the suspect." said Shinning.
"He was a male with gray skin and brown hair. He had blue jeans and a black jacket." said Sunset.
"Okay, I need a way of contacting you. Tell me your phone number." said Shinning.
Sunset gulped for a moment.
"I don't have a phone." replied Sunset.
"Do yo have a residence?" asked Shinning, raising an eyebrow.
"No." answered Sunset.
Shinning winced as it all came together. He called his supervisor who came over. After talking, Shinning had Sunset get into the passenger seat of his car. He drove her several blocks coming up to a tall brick building. A sign reading"Canterlot City Group Home" with "Est. 1953" below it sat aboce the door. Shinning coaxed Sunset out of the car and they walked up the stairs. Shinning knocked on the door and after a minutes the door creaked.
"Hello." came soft voice.
An elderly woman opened the door. She had white hair, blue skin and wore a pink nightie.
"Are you the person in charge?" asked Shinning.
"Yes. My name is Melody." answered the woman.
"Sunset Shimmer here needs a place to stay." answered Shinning.
"I am fine on my own." scoffed Sunset.
"You're clearly not of age and we cannot have you on your own." said Shinning.
Sunset Shimmer rolled her eyes.
"She can stay here. We've got plenty of open rooms." said Melody.
Sunset tipped his hat then turned and left.
"Come inside dear." said Melody.
Sunset reluctantly followed her inside. A long hallway was in front of her with green carpet. A phone sat on the wall and a grandfather clock was next to it. A staircase sat to the side.
"Follow me dear." said Melody.
Sunset followed Melody up the stairs. They came to a long corridor with doors on each side. Melody kept going and Sunset followed her.
"I wonder how many of these things are there." thought Sunset.
As they walked, Melody stopped and pointed to the door on her right.
"That is the bathroom. The washer and drier are in the basement." said Melody.
Sunset rolled her eyes.
"Let's keep going." said Melody.
Melody led Sunset down the hallway
"What a crap hole." thought Sunset.
They kept going until they reached a door at the end of the corridor.
"This will be your room." said Melody.
Melody opened the door. The room was small with blue wallpaper. A small couch was directly to the left of the door. A small desk with an old computer was on the far left wall while a small closet sat across from the couch. Windows were lined up above this. Across from the desk was a bed.
"I hope this will work." said Melody.
Sunset walked into the middle of the room.
"I will let you settle in." said Melody.
Melody left shutting the door behind her.
"This will have to do." sighed Sunset.
Sunset walked over to the bed, kicked off her boots and tucked herself under the covers.
A/N: That will do it for chapter one. Next time, Sunset tries adjusting to her new environment. Please review.
