Good Evening Students!
This is my second Equestria Girls fanfic, and sequel to A Loyal Laugh. If you don't feel like reading that or don't like the idea of Pinkie Pie X Rainbow Dash, have no worries, it's only mentioned and has little to no fluff about it. So it's a story on it's own. (Which is why the Prom segment was cut!)
Yes, some ideas are based on 'Twilight VS Twilight' by seniorcopycat
Disclaimer: If I worked for Hasbro, they would fire me for canonly shipping Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash
CAUTION: Minor Rainbow Rocks spoilers and suggestive suicide ahead, you have been warned!
Equestria Girls: Grand Galloping Graduation
Part 1: Some Suicidal Struggle for Sunset
Thursday, May 21- 3:00 pm
The school bell rung, signaling the end of the day. Everybody quickly scattered throughout the school. The human six easily met in front of the horse statue, which is used as a permanent portal to Equestria and back! The six guarded to side where the portal was at, so nobody would accidentally enter.
"I'm telling you Pinkie, I'll be fine during the finals tomorrow," Rainbow Dash sad to her friends.
"Are you sure," Pinkie asked her best friend.
"We know how bad you did on that one research paper thanks to Scootaloo's gossiping," Applejack said, referencing the Equestria Girls Holiday Special comic (Haven't read it, but that's what the wikia is for).
"I'll be fine, girls," Rainbow Dash smirked with confidence.
She looked over and saw that Pinkie Pie was still concerned. "Peace of cake," Rainbow Dash sighed, while looking at the ground trying to avoid eye contact.
As she said that, her friends looked at her in concern. After a long silence, Rainbow Dash decided to change the subject. "So, I'm planning on joining the Wonderbolts Air force after High School," Rainbow Dash started.
"Great idea! Of course I'm going to be an official clown and party planner," Pinkie Pie bounced with glee.
Sunset nervously stepped back, careful not to fall into the open portal. She had no idea what she wanted to do after High School Ever since the start of the month, she felt uneasy about her future. All she wanted since she arrived in the human realm was power. That plan fell down the drain back in September, ever since being defeated by Twilight.
She was hoping that the Rainbooms would last longer; so she would have more time to think her future over. The band only lasted a few months after The Battle of the Bands. They struggled to get gigs setup, so they canceled the band as a whole.
Applejack just smiled at her friends. "Isn't it obvious what I'm going to do? I'm going to continue to run the family farm with Macintosh and Apple Bloom," Applejack said.
"I'll... just volunteer.. at the Humane's Society until... I get my degree as a Veterinarian," Fluttershy whispered.
"Well, I have fashion ideas that'll keep my pockets filled for years," Rarity said with pride.
The five girls turned to Sunset, all having smiles on their faces. Sunset gulped, as if she knew what was next. "What about you," Applejack asked.
"What about me," Sunset nervously mummbled.
"What are your plans after finals tomorrow," Applejack added.
Sunset sighed, before saying, "I haven't got a clue, actually."
"Everything's happening so fast now. After Friday, what'll happen to my first and only friendship that I just made like 9 months ago," Sunset Shimmer softly questioned.
"Ah, don't be like that, Sugarcube," Applejack softly said while patting Sunset Shimmer on the back.
"No matter where we end up after the KRBY test tomorrow, we'll still be together! That's what phones, emails and other social media is for," Rarity said, trying to comfort her.
"I guess so, girls. I just need to lie my head and this through," Sunset sighed.
"Rarity! Let's go already," Sweetie Belle's voice called out.
Rarity and Applejack turned to see their young Freshmen sisters, along with Scootaloo, waiting to be taken home. The two older sisters said goodbye to their friends, before leaving with their younger sisters.

Sunset Shimmer was walking on the sidewalk. She held her head down as she continued to walk home. She was half way here, as she trotted past the park. Suddenly, her face was smacked head on by a football. As she held her left cheek in pain, she saw a few boys walk up to her. She looked over and saw Bulk, Flash and Mac staring down at her. Mac scooped up the football and handed it to Bulk.
Flash was frowning down at her. "Want are you doing," Flash huffed.
"I was walking home," Sunset protested.
"You better," Flash growled, before raising his left hand.
Flash Sentry then bitch slapped Sunset Shimmer, making her fumble down on her rear. Sunset began crying, as she scrambled back home. She seemed to have a cut on her cheek thanks to the football.
"Was that really called for," Mac said to Flash.
"After pushing us around for over three years. She was a bitch. She deserved it," Flash huffed, before leading Bulk and Mac towards the fields.

Sunset Shimmer then sat at her computer desk. She lived inside a small dusty apartment. It was all she could afford when she arrived in the human realm, thanks to saving money for a Daring Do book. The bits in the pony realm transferred into a good amount of cash while transferring into the portal.
She was trying to study up for the KRBY test tomorrow. In order to graduate, she had to pass this test. She had out all her notebooks of her Senior year, and glanced through all of her notes. She didn't have any family to scold her for her bad grades, but she was an honor student anyway. If she wanted to rule the school, of course she had to prove she was smarter. Thanks to her previous guidance under Princess Celestia, she was gifted naturally in studying; just like Twilight.
She just wanted to forget all about Flash Sentry's harsh actions to her. She then got up and headed to the fridge for a snack. She managed to feed herself and keep the bills up to date, thanks to her past of stealing lunch money. She also had a part time job as a library assistant. It's not much, but whatever works.
She was about to grab herself a sample of Pinkie's marble cake she gave her, when suddenly she heard loud crying. The crying seemed to be coming from right outside her apartment.
This caused Sunset Shimmer to investigate. As soon as Sunset left her bedroom, she saw the source of the crying. It was from a red German human. His hair was black, short and spiked up forward on all sides.
The mysterious boy was sitting on a balcony rail, staring at the full moon. He continued to firmly sit on the balcony rail, while crying.
"I- I can't do it, shit," he whispered through his tears.
Sunset Shimmer cautiously walked up to him. "Hey, don't do it," Sunset called to him.
"What's the point," the boy said as he stopped crying for a bit.
Sunset Shimmer took this time to time to sit on the balcony with the boy. The balcony was on the fourth floor, and below it was hard pavement. Jumping would lead to serious injury and death.
Sunset allowed him to cry for a bit.
"Life's hard, huh," Sunset sighed. The boy wipped his nose, before ranting.
"You have no idea! You try having Ms. Glimmer as your homeroom and history teacher! It's non-stop lectures about fascism and World War 2," he growled.
"Yeah, some teachers can be tough," Sunset whispered.
The boy took a deep breath. "I'm not jumping, you know? I have a sister to take care of. She's the only one that cared for me during my past 4 years of school! Ugh, I just want to get it over with already," he said.
"By the way, I'm Scopeclipse," the boy said.
"I' Sunset Shimmer. I've never seen you around CHS, you must go to Crystal High then," Sunset replied.
"Yeah! Besides Principle Cadence and Coach Armor, the entire school is filled with sick bastards! Have you been smacked around," Scopeclipse ranted.
"Actually, yeah. Just today," Sunset said, with a soft moan, as she thought of Flash's abuse earlier.
"Take that, times a dozen more bastards, every single day," Scopeclipse huffed.
"That's harsh."
"I better go, Sunny Shine is possibly heading to bed now," Scopeclipse said, as he carefully got off the balcony.
He then walked down the hall. Sunset got off, too and looked over at him.
"You're not going to study for the KRBY test tomorrow," Sunset questioned.
"I can pass without trying! That's how bad Crystal High is," Scopeclipse huffed.
With that, he left her sight. Sunset Shimmer gone back inside her apartment, and continued to study.
"I'll be fine," Sunset whispered as she took a seat back at her computer desk.
"I'll just volunteer at different jobs, until finding a true passion," Sunset finished.
To be continued... next time: A Rough Road for Rainbow
What? You thought I was going to ship Flash and Sunset again? NOPE! That was just something extra for Valentine's only... *braces self for actual Flash fans*
Yes, 'Hassen Mana' cameod in this, BUT his real birth name is Scopeclipse. Make your pick on which name you prefere, it's all the same. It'll just differ between each version. Ms. Glimmer was his homeroom and history teacher? No wonder he's corrupted! Note, I wasn't pushed around in school THAT MUCH, I'm just making it more dramatic.
Cut: Starlight being a counselor at Crystal High, because Cadence the principal would easily fire her. Prom segment was also cut, to shorten my Pinkie Dash and I would HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO!
Good Night!
