Weeks passed after Twilight's fight with the rest of the girls, but the tension stayed strong. She often thought about the words her comrades said at their last meeting.

'I think you need to clear your head. They're going to attack at prom. I'm sure of it. And when they do, weather you're with us or not, we're going to try to stop them.'

Octavia never seemed so sure of her own words. Twilight remembered the feeling of standing in front of her friends and being rejected. She shuddered at the thought.

What could she do now? Prom was tonight. Her friends were going to thrust themselves into danger, and they wouldn't let her do anything to stop them. She bumped her forehead into her steering wheel and rested it there. "Think Twilight, think." she said silently.

Finally, Twilight sighed deeply and exited her car. She hastily walked the short distance to the closest entrance. She pulled the door open and walked into the school. As usual, she was early and had beaten the morning traffic.

Twilight started the walk to her home room just as other students began to arrive. She skillfully maneuvered through the crowd of bustling students.

Her room was finally in sight, but her progress was impeded by another student bumping into her. "Sorry." She said crouching to help the girl pick up her scattered books. She looked up and gasps with shock.

"What?" Sunset said. Collecting assorted papers off the ground.

"You." Twilight said pointing a finger. "You're.. You're Sunset Shimmer."

"You've heard of me?" Sunset said with a raised eyebrow.

"Yea..." Twilight stuttered without thinking about her words. "You set up the attack."

Sunset's eyes widened with shock. She failed to utter something then split away, leaving her books on the ground. Twilight ran after her. They weaved through dumbfounded students in a cat and mouse chase.

Coming to a dead end devoid of life, Sunset turned and faced Twilight. Twilight barely managed to stop before colliding with the other girl.

"Who else knows?" Sunset shouted.

"Just me." Twilight lied.

"How did you figure it out?"

"What can I say? I'm a smart girl."

"Yea right. Who told you?"

"No one."

"Who'd you tell?"

"No one."

Sunset growled angrily and lunged herself at Twilight. The unsuspecting girl was caught vulnerable and thrown on her back. She struggled for a moment, but was soon overpowered by the stronger girl.

Sunset hit Twilight once hard, slamming her head against the ground. "Big mistake, Sparkle." She said, dragging her away. She dragged a groggy Twilight into the parking lot which was empty except for assorted vehicles.

Sunset reached a black Chevy Suburban and opened one of the rear doors. She threw Twilight in and slammed the door shut.

Twilight was completely unresponsive as the truck rolled out of the parking lot. She groaned with pain while she lay in the back seat. She heard distant speech as she rolled around the inside of the SUV.

"Sorry, Sparkle." Sunset said, driving recklessly to an unknown destination. "Looks like we're gonna have to mess up your perfect attendance."

After only a few minutes of driving, Sunset screeched to a stop. She looked back to see twilight nearly unconscious. "Come on, Sparkle." She said getting out and opening the rear door. "I didn't hit you that hard." She examined Twilight's blood smeared face. "Well.. Maybe I did."
