Chapter 4 - Arrival:

BH:

Agreeing to Sunset's idea was not one of my best choices to make.. There were no buses running at this time and so her whole gang had decided to walk with me straight to Canterlot High. Not that that in its self is a bad thing but the awkwardness... Blugh! After a long and silent walk to school, we finally arrived to the front doors. Sunset and Fluttershy helped me up the steps after it became apparent that I couldn't do it on my own.

"Fuck, I must have twisted my ankle pretty bad.. " I sighed. "Maybe I should skip seeing Principle Celestia is it? And head straight to the nurses office.. "

"That might be a good idea, sugercube." Applejack said as pushing me through the doors. "We're awful late for class but I'm sure Sunset wouldn' mind skippin' a lil of History to take you there, she's already ahead of us before we've even begun with all that holiday research she did!"

"I'm sure someone else would like to help?" Sunset asked to them all.

"Nope, I'm sure you can handle it darling." Rarity gave a wink to Sunset Shimmer and the group trotted off down the hall leaving Sunset Shimmer and Burning Helm in the corridor. Pinkie Pie turned and waved franticially to them. "See you in a bit you guys! Don't forget, at 2 there's the mandatory student meeting for all the freshmen so you'd better be there!" Pinkie Pie suddenly went serious. "They've got tonnes of cookies! See you later alligator! " Then she dashed off after the rest of the group which had disappeared around a corner somewhere.

"I guess you're stuck with me, ey?" I smirked. I could tell she disliked being alone with a stranger but I didn't press it. Well, not too much.

"Yep, sure looks like it. I think the nurses office is through here." She pointed at a set of double doors to her right. "If not we'll find it eventually. Can't be too hard to find!"

And with that we set off. It didn't take as long as I thought it would considering Sunset had absolutely no idea where the nurses room was but we found it within a few minutes of wondering around.

*Knock knock*

We heard a metal chair leg scrape on a harderned floor and an outline of someone came to the door and opened it slowly.

"Enter."

We did and I sat myself down on the side and Sunset took to standing besides the door. "Someones eager to get out quickly.. So it's not just me who doesn't like this sort of thing.." I thought.

Sunset:

After stepping through the door, Sunset instantly recognised Nurse Redheart. "Err, hey Nurse Redheart!"

"Hello Miss Shimmer, so what can I do for you two hmm?" She stared at the two of them.

"He, well um he kinnnd of got hit by a bus.. "

"Why aren't you at the hospital then?" She exclaimed loudly. She rushed over and began checking out Burning Helm for any this serious that would need to be treated for right away. Burning looked extremely uncomfortable from the continual inspections from the nurse stood before him.

"Do you rememeber your name? Does anything hurt? Look at the light please." Nurse Redheart bombarded BH with questions to which he replied the best he could but Sunset could easily see how awkward the whole experience was for him, and for her. A few minutes later, Nurse Redheart walked over to the side and unlocked the cabinate next to them and took out a small box. She took out a tablet and passed it to Burning Helm. "That should help with the pain. Try to stay off the ankle but it'll be fine soon enough."

He took the tablet, stared at it for a few seconds until he thought it wasn't going to course any harm and swallowed it down.

"Thanks. Can I go now?" He asked.

"Sure! It looks like he'll be ok, Sunset, though you'd better keep an eye on him, just incase."

"I'll be watching him anyway." She thought. "There's just something strange I just can't place.."

Redheart turned back to Burning Helm. "Don't be afraid to come back for any reason young man. Want a lolly pop?" The nurse pointed at a bowl on the side, winked and opened the door for them.

Sunset picked a large red one up and grabbed Burning Helm by the arm. "Thanks miss, I'll give this to Pinkie Pie." The door shut behind them.

"It's for Pinkie Pie?" He asked Sunset Shimmer.

"Eeyup." She smiled awkwardly and stood by the wall opposite, hand on elbow.

"So, where do you want to go now? We can always visit Principle Celestia later if you know your timetable, but if not, it'll probably be a good place to start."

"Sure, I'll follow your lead again shall I? " He smirked at this and Sunset felt a cold shiver creep down her spine from the way he said it to her. Then as he spoke, it was gone, as if it had been wiped away from the both of them.

"Sorry, I shouldn't poke fun. Thank you for all this miss, I've waisted a lot of your time already. I should be able to manage it from here on my own." He picked up his bag from outside the door and dumped it over his shoulder. "By the way, which way to Principle Celestia's office?"

Sunset sighed and pointed off to the right. "That way a little bit, turn left, left again, then right and its the second door on your left." He looked blankly at her. She sighed again and grabbed his arm and pulled him in the right direction.
