Okay, so it's basically like the Forgotten Friendship but I made changes, hope you guys liked it.
Sunset was sleeping on her bed, snoring softly. She had a busy day yesterday and it completely exhausted her. She made a friend named Wallflower Blush, who was the president of the gardening club and the member of the yearbook committee. Wallflower taught her what types of plants that needed water and how they needed enough sunlight to grow. However, Hawthorn doesn't need to be watered that much. According to Erebus, Hawthorn can absorb solar energy like all the other Hyfloras. And they can use the solar energy that they stored to create a small beam of light that can inflict a ton of damage. However, they don't use it one often because they rely on their black vines. Also, she and Erebus went to visit the injured cat which Sunset named Blacky. Blacky was a-okay, he will be healed up and will be adopted to a new family soon. Sunset couldn't adopt him since she worries that Hawthorn might…accidentally eat him. So, the best and safe way is to let the cat be adopted to a nice family.
Suddenly, Sunset's alarm went on, causing Sunset to groan in annoyance and tried to find her alarm clock. She sleepily searched on her nightstand, trying to find her alarm clock, and tried to hit snooze, so she can continue sleeping. Once she did, she hit the snooze button and went back to sleep, muttering out. "Five more minutes…"
However, it seems a curtain masked stranger doesn't want her to oversleep.
Erebus stood beside Sunset's bed, watching her under his mask. The alarm was set to wake her up at six thirty, but it seems that Sunset had other plans. Erebus shook his head lightly and gently woke Sunset up.
"Sunset, it's time to get ready for school."
Erebus receives a light groan from Sunset as she waves him off. "Five more minutes, E. I wanna sleep forever." She mutters tiredly.
Sighing softly, Erebus gently picks Sunset up and carries her out of the room. "You can sleep in when it's the weekend, you have school today."
"Five more minutes…" Sunset mutters in her sleep again while Erebus carries her out of her room and towards the dining room.
"No, Sunset. You have to get ready." He said, carrying her downstairs.
Sunset responded by a groan of annoyance. "Why must you be so mean?" She moans sleepily as Erebus sets Sunset down on a chair before going to the kitchen.
"I am not mean; I am simply responsible." He answered to her calmly as he placed her breakfast on the table. It was waffles and a glass of orange juice. "Now, eat up or else you'll be late."
Sunset groaned at him, feeling lazy but had to eat since she was hungry. "Yes, Erebus."
Sunset eats her breakfast while Erebus prepares her lunch. Sunset was grateful to have him around. He taught her the right and wrong of this world and is scouting the city every night for any signs of Grimm or two rogue Grimm Riders. On the other hand, Sunset was enjoying her new life here on the other world. Though she does miss the magic of Equestria, she gets used to living in this world, thanks to Erebus. Speaking of Erebus, he has finished her lunch and prepared her bag for school. Sunset finished her breakfast and went up to get dressed while Erebus cleaned up. It didn't take long for Sunset to finish as she came down the stairs, fresh and ready, while Erebus gave her bag and lunch to Sunset.
"Thanks, E." Sunset thanked him.
"You're very welcome, I will be home late again since Mr. and Mrs. Cake asked me to take the night shift." Erebus said.
"Sure thing, Erebus." Sunset said with a nod.
So, walking out of the house, the two friends walked together to Canterlot High. Erebus would walk Sunset to school before heading to work. He's helping Sunset be familiar with the streets before she can go on her own. Sunset said her farewell to Erebus as he left for work while Sunset entered the school before the bell rang. Entering the building, Sunset was first greeted by Pinkie Pie, who appeared out of nowhere and startled Sunset in the process. Sunset is still getting used to Pinkie appearing out of nowhere.
"Hi-ya, Sunset!" Pinkie greeted her happily.
"Pinkie! I told you to stop doing that?!" Sunset exclaimed, clutching her chest as she felt her heart beating rapidly.
"Oops! Sorry!" Pinkie apologized.
As Sunset tried to calm herself, the others came to greet her. "Hey, Sunset! Pinkie gave you her 'Surprise Greeting' again?" Rainbow Dash said to Sunset.
Sunset nodded shakenly as she looked at them. "I will never get used to that." She confessed to them.
"Don't worry, Sunset. You're not the only one who falls victim to her surprised greetings." Applejack said to Sunset. "Come on, we have to get to class before the bell rings."
"Excellent idea, darling. I wouldn't appreciate being late." Rarity agreed with her friend.
So, the six friends went to Cheerilee's class. There, they greeted their teacher Ms. Cheerilee before getting to their seat. As they did, Sunset saw Wallflower Blush at the back before giving a wave and a smile. The green petite girl saw this and smiled back at her as Sunset went to her seat with her friends. Cheerilee started her lesson and everyone minus Rainbow Dash took down notes while paying attention. Sunset had a lot of practice in her writing, thanks to Erebus. She's becoming a pro in her penmanship. Cheerilee explained her lecture about the history of the city and its founder. Sunset was fascinated by this as she wrote down everything, wanting to know more about the city. When Cheerilee's class was over, they went to math class. Rainbow Dash was groaning all the way to class, she hated math. It was too hard for her.
"Is Rainbow Dash always like this during math class?" Sunset asked Applejack as they walked to Cranky Doodles classroom.
"She sure is. Before you came here, Mr. Cranky Doodle gave us a hard geometry exam. It could give gray hair to a cat in a second."
"How can math be important?!" Rainbow Dash asked in annoyance. "When will I ever need to measure the inside of a circle in real life?"
Sunset thinks about it and replies. "To when you need to know the distance of a racetrack?"
Rainbow Dash gave her a dry look. "Whose side are you on, Sunset?" She mutters in annoyance.
Sunset gave a sheepish smile and shrug before they headed to the classroom. Cranky Doodle gave a long math, boring lecture. Some of the students fell asleep, including Rainbow Dash. Sunset paid attention in class. She knew that if she fails in this class, she'll be in a lot of trouble. It was getting hard for her since some math equation is not familiar to her. She was lucky that Erebus was there for her as she helped her with the math equation.
"Ms. Shimmer, can you answer this equation?" Cranky Doodle points at the board.
Sunset almost panicked as she looked at the complicated math equation. She wasn't sure if she could answer it. Cranky Doodle waited for an answer as Sunset tried to solve it. But before she could say anything, she noticed that her notebook's pages moved a bit from the wind and then she spotted something writing on it.
"Five?" Sunset blurted out as she looked at her notebook.
"Correct!" Cranky Doodle exclaimed as he wrote the answer on the board.
Sunset sighs in relief as she looks at her notebook with a curious expression. She looked at her notebook carefully as she suddenly recognized who gave her the right answer. She smiles at her notebook and takes out her pencil as she writes down 'Thank you, Erebus'. And in doing so, words appeared underneath it, saying 'You're welcome, Sunset'. And Sunset couldn't help but smile at this. When the bell rang, class was over, and Rainbow Dash was the first one to burst out of the room with a cheer, followed by the others. Sunset and the rest of the girls went out of the classroom and headed to the cafeteria. As they walked to the cafeteria, Sunset was chatting with Pinkie Pie. She wasn't aware of her surroundings as she accidentally bumped into a girl wearing a pair of sunglasses and a headphone. But her headphones fell in the process. Luckily, Sunset caught it before it could hit the floor. She handed it over to the girl as she gave an apologetic look.
"Sorry about that." Sunset apologized before she heard the song playing on the headphones. She recognized the singer instantly as she heard her perform TV before. "Are you listening to Willa Wisp?"
The girl nodded her head with a smile as Sunset gave her headphones back. Pinkie leans behind Sunset's back and waves at the girl. "Hi, Vinyl!"
Sunset looked at Pinkie in confusion. "Vinyl?"
"Vinyl Scratch, she's an awesome DJ! And she knows every best song in the world! Including Willa Wisp!"
"You know Willa Wisp?" Sunset asked in surprise.
"Who doesn't?" Rainbow Dash came beside them. "Willa Wisp is an awesome singer! She has the best songs ever. And she made a cameo appearance at Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone! Which was awesome!"
"Rainbow Dash is a big fan of Daring Do." Applejack said to Sunset. "But she has a point, Willa Wisp is the number one singer and the third richest girl on the planet."
"Third?" Sunset asked curiously as they walked to the cafeteria together.
"Darling, you didn't know about Willa's aunt, do you?" Rarity asked in shock as Sunset shook her head. "Well, her aunt is none other than Zelda Jolly!"
"Zelda Jolly? Who's that?" Sunset questions as they fall in line.
"Zelda Jolly is a billionaire." Pinkie answered cheerfully as she grabbed a tray. "She owns five-star restaurants called the Jolly Restaurant, three amusement parks, a record company called Mayhem Records, and the best talk show known as the Z Show."
"Making Willa the third richest girl along with her cousin, Pepper." Rarity explained to Sunset. "How come you don't know that?"
"Oh, well…I didn't have time to read the latest stuff." Sunset half-lied when she explained it to them. "But I am curious about who are the richest people besides Zelda Jolly."
They went to a table and sat down. Sunset, Rarity, and Fluttershy on the left while Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie on the right. Sunset was curious about this sudden information, wanting to know who the other richest people in the world are. Luckily for her, Rarity knows the latest gossip and trends in the world. She took out a magazine that is known as 'Top Celebrities'.
"According to Top Celebrities, the top three richest people in the world are Inferno Blade, Sombra, and Zelda Jolly." Rarity explained as shown the pictures of the three rich businesspeople. "The woman there is Zelda Jolly." She points at a woman with grayish skin, mismatched color eyes (blue on the left and green on the right) and a fun outfit. "This one is Sombra, he owns a big company called the Umbrum Corp. He is the second richest man on the planet, but some say he is the king of the modern world."
"Wow, he looks…scary." Sunset said as she looked at the stoic look of the muscular looking male that has grayish skin, black hair, and deep scarlet red eyes that can bore a hole, right through their very soul.
"Oh, he is. In fact, no one dares challenge him." Rarity said to her.
"So, he owns that big company? All by himself?" Sunset questions Rarity and her friends.
"He sure does." Applejack answered to Sunset with a nod. "He doesn't have a family of his own. And rumor has it that the only ones that he can trust are Inferno Blade and Zelda Jolly."
"At least he has some friends, right?" Sunset said, earning nods from the group, before she points at the picture of Inferno Blade. "What about him?"
"Oh, darling, that is the famous Inferno Blade, the number one richest man on the planet." Rarity said dreamily.
"What's his business?" Sunset asked curiously.
"Inferno Blade owns a huge company called Phoenix Industry, a big multibillion dollar energy company and resorts." Rainbow Dash explained next. "He basically owns the whole planet!"
Sunset looked at her with wide eyes. "He's that rich?"
"Uh-huh, but he is very kind." Fluttershy added softly. "He organized a charity party for animal shelters and sick children."
"And his company is sponsored by all major sports teams!" Rainbow Dash added with a grin. "Plus, he donated one of his private islands to make the scene of Daring Do and the Eternal Flower."
"He's also a single dad." Applejack informs Sunset. "He may be the number one richest man in the world, but he is also an honest and responsible dad."
"Wow, so what's his daughter's name?" Sunset asked curiously.
"Her name is Tanzanite Aura and believe me, darling. She is quite the lucky girl to be the daughter of a number one rich man." Rarity said with a smile.
"Yeah, she's so rich that she makes Diamond Tiara's dad's company look like a simple market." Rainbow Dash said with a snicker.
"Rainbow Dash, please. It's true that Filthy Rich's Barnyard Bargains isn't much like Phoenix Industry and Umbrum Corp. but it's still a business." Rarity said to her.
Rainbow Dash scoff. "Pfffttt! It may be a business, but there is no way that Filthy Rich can catch up to the top three richest people on the planet."
"Filthy Rich didn't make it to the top richest people on the planet?" Sunset asked her friends.
"Not even close." Rarity said as she drank her water elegantly. "He is only a millionaire; he can't quite compete with the three richest people on the planet."
Sunset just nodded in understanding before they finished their lunch and headed to their next class. Sunset saw Wallflower walking through the hall alone, not being noticed by her classmates yet again. She remembered how she felt before she met Erebus. Walking up to her, Sunset gave Wallflower a smile.
"Hey, Wallflower." Sunset greeted her.
Wallflower looked at her in surprise as she shyly greeted back. "H-Hi Sunset…"
"Heading to science class?" Sunset asked kindly.
Wallflower nodded hesitantly. "Y-Yeah…"
Then to Wallflower surprise, Sunset grabbed her hand gently and took her to meet the others. Wallflower was nervous and scared on what's going on. Sunset introduces her to her rest of her friends, who were looking at Wallflower with a confused and curious expression on their faces.
"Guys, this is Wallflower Blush. Wallflower, these are my friends."
"I…I know, I've known them since third grade." Wallflower said awkwardly.
"You did? How come we didn't see you?" Pinkie suddenly asked.
"I was behind you during class picture day." Wallflower added in an awkward tone.
"…Oh…oh…IIIiiii don't remember that." Pinkie confessed while rubbing the back of her neck awkwardly. "Sorry."
Sunset's eyes widen in shock and surprise. She didn't expect Pinkie Pie to not know someone. I mean, Pinkie basically knows everyone in Canterlot High since she was in kindergarten. How come she didn't know about Wallflower Blush when she pointed out to her at science class on her first day. But she was cut off when she noticed that Wallflower wanted to bail after feeling awkwardness rising. Sunset quickly grabbed Wallflower's hand and gestured them to the classroom.
"Come on, we don't wanna be late for class." Sunset said to them.
They and Wallflower nodded in agreement before they got into class. They entered the room and took their seat. During the class, the teacher will allow partners or groups of five to seven members to work on their projects. He will assign them their project and must be presented within the end of the month. Sunset decided to make her group with Wallflower, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity. Their project is about knowing what ways for plants to grow. Sunset smiles, knowing that this will be easy for Wallflower since she knows a lot about plants. While the teacher finished giving out the projects, Sunset, her friends, and Wallflower sat at the corner of the room as they discussed their plant project.
"Okay, so what's the plan on our project?" Sunset asked the group.
"Um…" Wallflower was about to answer until Pinkie Pie butts in.
"Oh! How about we make a candy plant grow on sugar!" Pinkie suggested with a grin.
"Pinkie, that's not gonna work." Applejack said to the pink haired girl while shaking her head.
"Can I just…" Wallflower tries again.
"I'm with AJ here, how about we try and make some kind of fertilizer to see what plant can grow faster!" Rainbow Dash interrupted Wallflower, forgetting that she was here.
"Maybe we can-" Wallflower was interrupted again but this time it was Rarity
"Rainbow Dash, darling. Plants take time to grow. May I suggest. A more glamorous way."
"We're not dressing up the plant, Rarity." Applejack said bluntly, earning a huff from Rarity.
As the group suggested some ideas, Wallflower remained silent and became invisible to them. Sunset saw this and turned towards Wallflower. "Hey, Wallflower, what's your idea?" She asked with a smile.
Wallflower looked at her with hesitation and with hidden gratitude in her eyes before giving out her idea. "H-How about we try to see what type of music affects plant growth? Or making a special plant food that can triple the flowers' pollination."
"Those are great ideas!" Sunset said with a smile, getting the attention of the group.
"What is?" Fluttershy asked shyly.
"We can experiment about what type of music can affect plant growth or make a special type of plant food that can boost up the pollinations of the flowers." Sunset explains about Wallflower's idea.
"Those are some great ideas, Sunset." Applejack complimented.
"Well, they're actually Wall-" Sunset was cut off by Rainbow Dash.
"Applejack's right! Those are great ideas! I can get my guitar and play some music to see if any plants would grow." She said with a grin.
"I said it was Wallflower's id-" Sunset was yet again cut off but by Rarity.
"Ahem, might I suggest classical music. It has great elegance and rhythm." Rarity said with a smile.
Rainbow Dash scoffs. "More like boring! We're trying to make them grow, not make them not grow!"
"Can I just say-" Again, Sunset was cut off when Applejack spoke.
"It doesn't matter what type of music, as long as we do the special plant food, it can help not just the flowers, but maybe trees or other plants."
"We should really hear what Wallflower has to say-" Sunset was cut off again by a small explosion coming from the other side of the room.
Turning to the corner, they saw Snip and Snails were covered in pink, sticky liquid along with Trixie and her two accomplice, Lavender Lace and Fuschia Blush. Trixie was complaining about the two boys for messing up while the science teacher shook his head and dismissed the class, so that Trixie and her group cleaned up their mess.
"Okay, we'll talk more about the idea of yours tomorrow, Sunset." Rainbow Dash as she grabs her bag along with the others. "See ya!"
"But-" Sunset was yet again cut off when all her friends said their farewells before they went to their neck class, leaving Sunset with Wallflower. Sunset sighs in annoyance as she turns to the quiet Wallflower. "Sorry about that, Wallflower, I tried to tell them that those were your ideas."
"It's okay, Sunset. I'm used to it." Wallflower said softly before getting her things. "But thanks for letting them agree with the idea."
"Hey now, it was your idea, and you deserve all the credit." Sunset said with a smile.
Wallflower made a small smile of appreciation. "Thank you, Sunset."
"No, problem, Wallflower. We'll talk more about the project in our club meeting later, okay?" Sunset said, earning a nod from Wallflower, before she got her things and headed to their next class.
Erebus was working at Sweet Shoppe, serving drinks and treats to customers, while Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake were playing with their toys. It was quite peaceful at work. Though the customers gave him strange or skeptical looks since Erebus was wearing his mask. But he didn't mind, they didn't give him any problems as he served their order. He then looked up to the door when the bell chimed. Sunset was coming in as she greeted Erebus with a smile.
"Hey, Erebus, how's work?" Sunset asked Erebus as she went to the counter before taking a seat.
"It's alright." Erebus answered calmly. "And you? How was school?"
"Eeehhh...it's okay, I guess." Sunset answered with a sigh.
Erebus saw this and was concerned by this. "Did something happen at school?" He asked, making Sunset a drink.
"It's kind of a long story." Sunset answered with a worry look.
"I have time." Erebus assured her.
Sunset smiled at him with gratitude as she explained her day about how her friends completely forgot about Wallflower and how she tried to share her ideas. Sunset was the one who helped Wallflower to share her ideas, but in the end got the credit with the idea by her friends, which made Sunset feel bad and tried to tell them that it was Wallflower's idea, but they didn't listen. Wallflower didn't get the attention or praise that she deserved as she was the one who came up with those ideas.
"And I don't know what to do." Sunset finished her story.
Erebus listened to her tale, understanding her situation that she was in. He too encounters this type of problem back home, but his mother gave him the wisdom that he needed.
"I understand your situation, Sunset." Erebus said, causing Sunset to look at him. "If you want to make Wallflower feel as a part of the team, you can try and convince your friends to see her garden. Show them Wallflower's talent in gardening."
Sunset beamed by this. "That's a great idea, Erebus! I'll tell her first thing in the morning." She said as Erebus serves her hot coco.
"You are very welcome, Sunset." Erebus said, smiling under his mask.
Later that night, Erebus was tending the plants at the greenhouse. Sunset was in her room, sleeping soundly, after finishing up with the plans on the project. Erebus's company on this calm night was Hawthorn. The Hyflora was restless as it moved his vines around like snakes. Erebus gently slaps one of its thorny vines with his hand covered by a thick glove, silently telling it to calm down, which it did. Erebus went back to work when he felt something wrong. He suddenly stops what he was doing before he got out of the greenhouse and rushed over to Sunset's room. Erebus could tell something was wrong and hurry upstairs. He opened the door of the room and to his surprise, Sunset was fast asleep but five different color-glowing film gauges (yellow, orange, white, blue, and pink) were coming out from Sunset's head. Sunset didn't awake from her sleep, but she twitched when those glowing film gauges came out from her head and flew off from her window. Erebus went to the window quickly and watched as those glowing film gauges were heading towards a destination, followed by other glowing film gauges, but they were red.
"What in the name of…" Erebus was cut off when he heard Sunset let out a loud yawn. Turning around, Erebus saw Sunset sitting up, her hair slightly messy, as rubs her tired eyes with her hands.
"Erebus?" Sunset yawns out. "What are you doing here?"
Erebus turned towards the window, seeing the glowing film gauges suddenly gone, before turning to her with a shaken head. "It's nothing, Sunset. I thought you were in trouble."
"There's no trouble, E. I just finished the plans for mine and Wallflower's science project. After all, both of us need to finish them before the end of the month." Sunset answered, catching Erebus's attention.
"Both of you?" Erebus suddenly spoke.
"Yeah, she and I are partners." Sunset answered to him casually.
Erebus narrowed his eyes at her. "I thought both of you were in a group?"
"In a group? No, I partnered with Wallflower. I told you this before at the Sweet Shoppe." Sunset answered him, as she instantly forgot her friends. "Why do you think of that?"
Erebus stayed silent by this for a moment before shaking his head. "My apologies, Sunset, I guess I must've heard wrong."
Sunset waved at him. "No biggy, E. Besides, Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake were fussing about, maybe that's why you didn't hear me."
"Yes…maybe that's the reason." Erebus said slowly before turning towards the door. "I should get back to work now, go back to sleep, Sunset."
Sunset yawned. "Sure thing, Erebus." She answered tiredly before going back to sleep.
As Erebus leaves the room, closing the door silently, before walking away with a serious look under his mask. There was something wrong. He could tell. Sunset completely forgot her friends. Like her memories were taken from her. That must be the reason why those glowing film gauges must've been her memories, taken from her in her sleep. And something tells him that she wasn't the only one who's memories have been taken. He has to know why and how this happened. He has a bad feeling that it was the work of Hitchcock Razoron and his sister, Agate Razoron, doing. But they never knew such magic before and yet it made Erebus think with wonder of what is really going on. Like someone else is doing it. And he has the feeling that it was Sunset's new friend, Wallflower, is behind this. It seems strange that this suddenly happened until Sunset befriended Wallflower. So, deciding to find out the reason, Erebus is going to keep an eye on this Wallflower girl, and find out if she's working for the Razoron siblings.
On the next day, Sunset was getting ready for school, packing the papers that she made to plan on the project with Wallflower. She promises to meet up with her a As Sunset is going out, Erebus gives her a lunch bag that has delicious pastries inside. Those are cream puffs, macaroons, cinnamon rolls, apple tarts, and croissants.
"Here, I made some treats for you and Wallflower." Erebus said gently.
Sunset smiled in appreciation and took the bag. "Thanks, Erebus. See you later!" She said as she left the house and walked to school. Erebus watched from the window; his eyes filled with seriousness underneath his mask.
As Sunset turned to the next corner, Erebus was surrounded by a swirl of shadows before it slid underneath him and formed an exact replica of Erebus, with mask and all, as the doppelganger Erebus bowed at him.
"Take my shift at work, I need to investigate this Wallflower character." He ordered, earning a nod from the doppelganger Erebus before the real Erebus disappeared like a mist while the doppelganger Erebus left to work.
Erebus's shadowy essence moves within the darkness, before taking the form of a crow as he flies through the sky, heading towards Canterlot High. He reached to the school and perched himself at the school, watching Sunset from above as she walked to the school. There, she was greeted by Wallflower, who was waiting for Sunset at the statue. The two greeted each other as if they were friends for life before they headed to school together. Erebus narrowed his eyes as he flew after them, turning into a shadow, blending through his surroundings. He watched as Sunset and Wallflower chatted about the project that they were working on. There, they walked past Sunset's other friends, who appeared to not know Sunset's existence, as they had forgotten as she did. The five girls were trying to make an idea for their plant project that was given to them, the project that was supposed to be a group project with Sunset and Wallflower.
Though Erebus notices Wallflower's relief face as they walk past them. As if she was trying to avoid them. Erebus was suspicious about this Wallflower girl and investigated further. He watched them from the shadows, seeing how only Wallflower and Sunset spend time together, as if they were best friends for life. Wallflower seems to enjoy having Sunset as a friend more than anyone. During cooking class, both Sunset and Wallflower were partnered up as they cook veggie kabobs together. The two worked together to cook the food and got good grades on this. In math class, Sunset and Wallflower sit together, listening to Cranky Doodle's lecture.
After math class was over, the two went off to the cafeteria to have their lunch. Wallflower seems to enjoy Sunset as her company before they discuss their project in science class. Two girls chatted about, discussing what type of music they should use and making the proper ingredients for the special plant food, while eating Erebus's pastries. Speaking of Erebus, the Grimm Rider hid within the shadows as he listened to them before glancing over to Sunset's original friends, who were struggling to figure out how to make their project.
"This is so frustrating!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, slamming both her fist on the table. "If we don't figure out what to do with our project, we'll surely fail science class."
"Easy there, Rainbow Dash. We'll figure something out soon." Applejack assured her friend.
"Yeah, but-" Rainbow Dash was cut off when Trixie appeared with a cloud of smoke with both Lavender Lace and Fuschia Blush as well as Snips and Snail.
"The Great and Powerful Trrrrixie! Has made a great scientific discovery that will blow your feeble minds, BEHOLD!" Trixie took out what appears to be a test tube from her hat. It was glowing a purplish hue before suddenly it exploded into a purple cloud of smoke, covering the cafeteria, and causing the students to cough. They all got out of the cafeteria, covered in purple dust, coughing as they fled the cafeteria.
"Woah, didn't see that coming, right Wallflower? Wallflower?" Sunset turned towards Wallflower and almost laughed to see that she was covered from head to toe with purple looking dust. She looked quite embarrassed as few students were covered by the hair or shirt, but she was covered everywhere. Wallflower was so embarrassed by this as she fears someone will make fun of her. Seeing this, Sunset seized her laughter before taking out a handkerchief from her pocket, wiping the dust off from Wallflower.
"Hold still, there's some dust that's hard to reach." Sunset said to Wallflower, who was blushing a bit.
"T-Thank you…" She whispers, causing Sunset to smile at her.
They weren't aware that Erebus's shadowy form telepathically opens the windows of the cafeteria, before creating a gust of wind to blow out the cloud of purple dust, outside of the school. Once it was cleared, the windows shut themselves just in time before Principal Celestia came in with Vice Principal Luna, who both gave Trixie and her group. The five got one week of detention for that while the students cleaned themselves up for their next class.
Erebus carefully watched as Wallflower and Sunset talked about their project, adding important notes in their projects. Wallflower was happy for Sunset's company. Erebus could tell that she was alone for a long time. Soon, Sunset left Wallflower to get a snack at the vending machine, but as she did, she met a male with spiky blue hair, blue eyes, and light amber skin. He wears a leather jacket and under it is a white t-shirt that has a cutie mark of a shield with a lightning bolt on top of it.
"Oh, hi." He greeted her.
"Hi…sorry, were you going to use it first?" Sunset asked.
"Nah, you can go if you want." The male said before looking at her. "Say…aren't you that new girl?"
"Yup, Sunset Shimmer and you are…"
"Oh, it's Flash, Flash Sentry." The teen named Flash introduced. "You know, I barely see you around school."
Sunset laughs a bit. "Yeah, busy doing schoolwork, finishing up the project, and helping my friend at her garden." She explained as she got a candy bar from the vending machine.
"No wonder I barely see you around." Flash said as they both laughed at this. "So, what's your project about?"
"Well, it's about how plants grow with music and making a special kind of plant food to help the flower's pollination." Sunset explained to him.
"Good projects. My group is working on sounds to see how strong the force is when put into the max." Flash explained to Sunset.
"Wow, that sounds interesting." Sunset said with impress.
"Thanks, you are too." Flash suddenly before realizing what he meant as he corrected himself. "I-I mean-mean…your project! Yeah, your project is interesting, not you, I mean. Your interesting err…I mean…"
Sunset giggled at him. "Thanks, Flash. Well, I should get going then. See you around?"
Rubbing the back of his neck, Flash blushed a bit. "Y-Yeah…s-see ya around…"
Sunset smiled before she walked back to Wallflower who was waiting in her locker. Erebus watched from the shadows as Sunset and Wallflower walked to their next class, but he noticed Wallflower looking over to Flash with worry as she and Sunset walked away. Erebus could feel a sudden jealousy and nervousness writhing with Wallflower, as if she didn't want Sunset to make friends with anyone else. Erebus spent the rest of the day observing Sunset and Wallflower's interaction before they headed to the garden. Erebus was impressed by Wallflower's garden, knowing she put all her heart into it. He took the form of a crow as he watched them on top of a tree.
"Okay, so we placed five speakers with different music. One with rock, jazz, classic, country, and of course the number one singer, Willa Wisp." Sunset listed out as she and Wallflower placed the speakers on different plant pots with seedlings on them.
"I wonder which plant will grow faster?" Wallflower asked Sunset curiously.
"Don't know, but we'll figure out together." Sunset said, earning a smile from Wallflower, before turning to the speaker that was playing a Willa Wisp song (Finally Falling- Victoria Justice ft. Avan Jogia from Victorious). "But I have a feeling that Willa Wisp's music can make any plants grow."
Wallflower giggled. "Yeah, she's an amazing singer." She answered.
"You're a fan?" Sunset asked her.
"Big fan, her songs are very inspiring and comforting when I feel alone." Wallflower said truthfully as she rubs her arm.
Sunset's eyes softened. "Hey, Wallflower. Don't think that you're alone." She comforted her.
Wallflower looked at Sunset with a small smile. "I know, Sunset. It's comforting when you're here." Wallflower said to her gratefully.
"No problem. Let's get back to work." Sunset said to Wallflower, who nodded. "Now, how do we keep the batteries from running low?"
"Oh, I have a solar charger in my bag." Wallflower said.
"Huh, thanks, Wallflower. I'll get it." Sunset said as she went to Wallflower's bag as she took out the charger but, in the process, a stone fell off her bag. This caught Erebus's attention as he focused on the stone. It was small with an oval-shaped that is color grey with green markings that glow when in use. The middle mark is shaped like an eye, the top markings are three triangles, and the bottom ones are lining that end with swirls.
Sunset picks it up and looks at it curiously. "What's this?"
Wallflower saw this and immediately panicked at the sight of the stone. She quickly got up and snatched it from Sunset's hands. "D-Don't!"
Sunset brought her arms up. "Woah! Easy there, Wallflower."
"S-Sorry, Sunset...this stone is an aaahhh...family heirloom, a-and I have to keep it safe. It means a lot." Wallflower said to her with hesitation.
"Oh, sorry, I should be careful next time." Sunset apologized, not knowing the true purpose. "Though, it's kinda pretty, for a rock I mean."
"I-It's okay and yeah, it is...let's finish up before we go home." Wallflower said to Sunset.
"…Sure." Sunset agreed as she and Wallflower finished things up.
Erebus watched with suspicion as Wallflower put the stone back on her bag. Something about the stone screams danger like it shouldn't be in Wallflower's hands. Erebus must figure out the stone's reason. He will do that by keeping a close eye on Wallflower.
He has a bad feeling about this girl.
When school was over, Sunset went home while saying her farewell to Wallflower, Erebus followed Wallflower from the sky, watching her as she got home. Her home was simple but was decorated with flowers. The front yard has different types of flowers while the backyard has its own vegetable garden. They all have wooden fences that are colored white, indicating to keep animals out of the garden. Erebus perched on a branch of a tree and saw a plump looking woman with dandelion golden hair, green eyes, and pale white skin. She was planting some flowers in the garden but stopped when she saw Wallflower coming to the gate.
"Hi, Wallflower! How was school sugar pie?" Asked the woman, her voice rich with a Yat accent (New Orleans accent).
"It was great, Aunt Dandelion." Wallflower said to her aunt. "Sunset and I just finished up in testing our project."
"D'awww! I'm so happy for you, sugar pie!" Dandelion said as she hugged her niece with a strong embrace. "Why don't you invite this Sunset girl for dinner? I'll make her my famous Gumbo and beignets!"
"Sure, Aunt Dandelion. I'll tell her to come over one day." Wallflower said to her aunt.
"Now go wash up while I make supper." Dandelion said to her niece.
"Okay." Wallflower nodded her head as she entered the house.
Erebus stood there at the tree branch waiting and watching for anything that would lead him to the answers he seeks. As night came, Erebus was still in his crow form, watching Wallflower and her aunt had supper before going to bed. But Dandelion went to bed and fell asleep while Wallflower was still awake and appears to be going somewhere. Narrowing his eyes, Erebus followed Wallflower to the sky as she took her bike and rode it to school. Erebus was able to catch up to her just in time as he already knew what destination she was going to. He landed beneath the undergrowth and transferred back to his human form as he watched as Wallflower parked her bike on a tree and walked in her garden.
"What are you up to, Wallflower." He mutters out.
"Erebus?" Came Sunset's voice, causing Erebus to turn around and saw Sunset with his doppelganger by her side. Erebus was lucky to be able to send a telepathic message to his doppelganger to bring Sunset here just in time. "What's going on and why are there two of you?"
"Sunset, I will explain to you soon, right now. There's a problem at our hands." He said as he moved the bushes enough to allow Sunset to see Wallflower from a distance. She was on her knees as she took out the stone that Sunset thought was a family heirloom.
"Wallflower? What does she have to do with anything?" She asked in confusion and worry as Wallflower spread a sheet of paper from the ground.
"I believe she is the reason why you can't remember about your friends."
"My friends? Erebus, what are you talking about? I don't under-" Sunset suddenly was cut off as she and the two Erebus saw Wallflower holding the stone close as it started to glow brightly. Soon, a light came out of it, spreading through the ground. Sunset was shocked by this but was cut off when suddenly she yelps in pain as a glowing film gauge came out from her head. It was dark blue as it has the images of Flash Sentry that she met today. It flew towards Wallflower's stone, consuming it along with a red glowing film gauge that appears to have Sunset's image, indicating that it has taken the memory of Flash Sentry meeting Sunset.
Sunset almost fell, but Erebus caught her in time as she groaned in pain. "Sunset, are you alright?"
"Y-Yeah...what-what happened?" Sunset asked in confusion, rubbing her head.
"Sunset, do you remember Flash Sentry?" Erebus suddenly asked her.
Sunset looked at him in confusion, unaware what he meant, as if she never met the one named Flash. "Who's Flash? Erebus, what's going on?"
"Wait here, my doppelganger will protect you." He said as he got up and went to Wallflower.
When Wallflower was about to put her stone away, she heard something from the undergrowth. Turning around, she saw Erebus, standing a few feet from her. His mask hides his face and his expression, but Wallflower has a feeling that he knows about her action.
"Wallflower Blush, I presume?" He spoke calmly.
Wallflower backed away from him as she clutches the stone closely. "H-How do you know my name?" She asked hesitantly.
"I know that you are the president of the gardening club and that you know everyone in Canterlot High except no one knows you. I wonder why?" He asked her, eyeing on the stone.
"S-stay back!" She ordered as she pointed the stone at him. "I'm not afraid to use this."
Erebus stares blankly at her. "I have a feeling that you used this more than once, correct?" He questions her. Wallflower stayed silent as she held the stone at him, unaware that Sunset was watching the whole thing. "Why do you use the stone to erase the memory of Sunset ever meeting them?"
Sunset's eyes widen with this as she listens to the whole conversation. Wallflower was hesitant about this. "You'll never understand what it's like to be alone, being ignored, feeling invisible to everyone! I tried to interact with them, but nothing works! They feel awkward and strange, no matter how hard I try to talk to them, I just can't!"
"So, you used that stone to erase any embarrassing interactions with other people, but why erase about Sunset?" Erebus asked her, clutching his fists together.
"She's the only one that understands me! She doesn't feel awkward when I'm around, doesn't ignore me, she's the first person to ever notice me, wanting me to be her friend! I don't want that feeling to be taken away."
"You can't mess with people's memories." Erebus began, "It is wrong, you know that."
"You don't know what it's like to be alone! And you can't stop me!" Wallflower exclaimed as she used the stone at Erebus. A flash of light escaped from it, heading towards Erebus.
"No!" Sunset exclaimed as she was about to run over to Erebus to push him away. But in a blink of an eye, Erebus jumped through the air, dodging the attack, before doing a somersault and landed behind Wallflower. Before she could react, Erebus swiftly knocks her off her feet, causing her to fall with a yelp and dropping the stone. Erebus caught it just in time as Wallflower could get up.
"No! I need it!" Wallflower begged Erebus, who jumped away and lands on top of a rock out of Wallflower's reach.
"No, you don't." Erebus corrected her. "You can't manipulate their memories like that. Making them forget is not the option. You have to understand what you're doing is wrong."
"You don't understand, no one will notice me, I'm just invisible to them!" Wallflower said, tears falling from her eyes. Erebus watched as Wallflower cried, tears falling down her face and to the ground.
(Invisible-My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Forgotten Friendship)
You don't see me fitting in
I'm sitting here alone
Right beside my shadow
Always on my own
Wallflower began singing, catching both Sunset and Erebus off guard as they listened to her song Wallflower looked at the grassy ground with tears falling from her eyes. There were a series of flashbacks of her not being noticed by the students, she tried to interact, but they didn't seem to see her. Until she found the strange stone at the garden she found and made and used it to erase the memory of the embarrassing introductions.
If I could share my wildest dreams
Maybe they would see
I'm more than just a wallflower
There's so much more to me
I'm invisible, invisible
A droplet in the mist
Invisible, invisible
It's like I don't exist
As Wallflower sings, they were not aware that black, ghostly mist was moving through the shadow, attracted to Wallflower's sadness and misery. No one, not even Erebus, noticed it. For they were focused on Wallflower, who had another flashback where she tried to interact, but failed, and used the stone to erase everyone's memories of her awkward moments again and again. Until she met Sunset, who became her friend and accepted her.
Right beneath my picture
This is what you'll read
A laundry list of nothings
Not likely to succeed
A yearbook with blank pages
That no one wants to sign
A memory forgotten
Until the end of time
Sunset slowly got out of the undergrowth with doppelganger Erebus following her from behind, making sure she was safe. Pushing away through the undergrowth as they went to Wallflower, who didn't notice them as she picked up a small white dandelion from the ground as the wind blew the pestles away. There was another flashback of Sunset and Wallflower walking through the hall of the school before Sunset was greeted by her friends (Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity) greeted Sunset, not noticing Wallflower was beside her before walking away with Sunset tagging along, leaving Wallflower alone again.
I'm invisible, invisible
A star fading in dawn
Invisible, invisible
Won't be long before I'm gone
Won't be long before I'm gone...
When Wallflower stopped singing, she began to cry, hard. All she wanted was a friend and Sunset was the friend that she was looking for. And she didn't want anyone else to take her only friend away.
"I just…I just don't want to be alone again." Wallflower cries softly. "I don't want Sunset to forget me too."
"I won't." Sunset's voice came from behind. Wallflower turned around with wide and teary eyes as she saw Sunset standing a few feet from her with Erebus's doppelganger behind Sunset. Wallflower was confused at the second Erebus but was snapped out of it when Sunset spoke to her. "Even if you did erase my memories about my friends, I will never leave you alone, Wallflower. I promise to be with you no matter what. I want to help you overcome this if you just let me."
Wallflower was touched by this, unable to stop the tears from falling from her eyes. "Sunset, I…"
"LOOK OUT!" Erebus suddenly yelled out.
Before the two could react, Erebus's doppelganger grabbed Sunset by the waist before rushing over to Wallflower, catching her in the same position as Sunset, before dodging a giant tree claw from slamming at them. Erebus's doppelganger landed on the ground safely before putting the girls down as they looked up to see a tree looking monster with red vein-like markings and scary looking mask on the center.
"W-What is that thing?!" Wallflower exclaimed in shock and fear.
Luckily, Erebus instantly recognized the creature. "A Geist."
"A what?" Wallflower asked in confusion.
"Is it a type of Grimm?" Sunset suddenly asked Erebus.
"It is. A Geist is a possession-type Grimm, capable of possessing and controlling inanimate objects whether be inorganic matter or inert mass." Erebus explained before tossing the stone to Sunset, who caught it. "Get out of here with Wallflower, my doppelganger will protect you while I deal with the Geist."
"Right!" Sunset said with a nod before grabbing Wallflower's hand. "Come on!" She drags Wallflower to safety as they both run away while Erebus's doppelganger follows them.
"Wait, Sunset! What's going on?! Why are we leaving him?!" Wallflower exclaimed, referring to the real Erebus.
"Don't worry, he's trained for this type of situation and I'll explain everything, but right now, RUN!" Sunset exclaimed as they and the doppelganger ran away from the scene.
Erebus glared at the Geist under his mask. He took out two fire dust crystals and turned them into flaming swords. The Geist's tree form made low rumbling noises as it readies to attack. Erebus knows how to deal with Geists. He was trained under great masters in his youth. It doesn't care about its body; it only cares to keep its face protected. Erebus must knock out all its limbs at once, so he can have a clear shot in destroying the Geist. The Geist lifted its tree arm and was about to smash it at Erebus, but the Grimm Rider dodged it in time. Flipping through the air, causing it to hit ground instead, before zipping over to its arm, cutting it to pieces, rendering it armless. The Geist stumbled back by this as Erebus landed on the ground, blades ready. As Erebus was about to attack, he was stopped when the Geist's armless shoulder gained a glowing red circle with a symbol of an eye in the middle. The circle spins for a second before a black, elongated arm with clawed fingers emerges from it, twitching occasionally before it rears its arm back and shoves it to an undergrowth, lifting it from the ground, revealing a plant-like arm. It then uses its new arm to create vines to attack Erebus.
The Grimm Rider runs off to dodge the vines as they are shoved on the ground, creating big holes. Erebus transforms his blades into an ice bow and arrow before one at the Grimm's undergrowth arm, immobilizing it in the process. Geist struggles to break free but didn't have time when Erebus fired more ice arrows at its body, preventing it from causing any more harm. The Geist struggles to break free but didn't have time to react when Erebus turned his ice bow and arrow to electrical Warhammer, smashing it at the Geist's armored body, shattering it to pieces. The Geist ghostly form escaped its shattered body before flying off in such speed, heading towards Sunset and Wallflower's direction. Erebus chased after it, trying to prevent it from reaching Sunset and Wallflower.
Speaking of Sunset and Wallflower, both girls were running for their lives, panting as they were losing energy. Erebus's doppelganger was with them, as it was ordered to protect them at all cost. Sunset knew the real Erebus could handle that Geist, but she just hoped that he was okay.
"Did we lose it?" Wallflower panted out.
"I don't know, but I think we're far from it." Sunset said as they ran from the school and garden.
"What was that thing anyway?" Wallflower panted out as they continued running.
"It's called Grimm." Sunset said as they continued running. "It's kinda like a monster but a ghost kind."
"There's more of those things?!" Wallflower exclaimed in fear.
"Yes! They're drawn to feelings of negativity like envy, sadness, anger, loneliness, pride, and hatred. That's why it was after you. You were alone, scared, and sad." Sunset explained as they ran around a boulder.
"It is?!"
"Yes and-LOOK OUT!" Sunset suddenly pushed Wallflower down with her as the Geist almost attacked them. Erebus's doppelganger summons a red fiery blade and fights the ghost Grimm. Sunset, still clutching the stone, helps Wallflower up before they run away again. "Keep running!"
As they flee, Erebus's doppelganger fought the Grimm with all his might but was overpowered when the Geist posed a boulder and turned into a rock golem as it smashed Erebus's doppelganger, turning him to a black mist before chasing after the girl in the thick forest. Sunset holds Wallflower's hand tightly as they feel the ground beneath them, indicating that the Grimm is chasing them.
"Whatever you do, don't stop!" Sunset ordered as they ran as fast as they could.
Suddenly, the Geist golem exploded from the undergrowth, scaring the two girls as they both screamed in fear. It lifted its rocky arm and was about to strike at the girls but Sunset pushed Wallflower out of the way, just in time before the fist could hit her. But it caused a great force to send Sunset and Wallflower flying to the undergrowth, followed by some rocks and broken logs. They both landed on the ground roughly, but Sunset was not so lucky as a log landed on her right ankle, causing Sunset to yell in pain and dropping the stone in the process as she could feel the weight of the log on her ankle. Wallflower gasped and quickly got up to help Sunset to push off the log, but it was too heavy. The two girls pushed with all their might, but nothing seemed to work.
"It's no use! Wallflower, get out of here, now!" Sunset ordered her.
"I can't leave you here!" Wallflower said as she tried to push the log off her.
Suddenly, the Geist slowly rose, causing both Sunset and Wallflower to gasp in fear, but it was not focused on them, it was focused on the stone. Seeing this, Wallflower quickly picks up the stone and shows it to the beast.
"You want this?! Then come and get it!" Wallflower exclaimed as she ran off with stone in hand.
"Wallflower, no!" Sunset exclaimed as she struggled to break free.
The Geist completely ignored Sunset and chased after Wallflower instead. As it left, Erebus came running and saw Sunset stuck on a log. He quickly made his towards her and lifted the log off from her leg with ease, as Sunset got out of the log.
"Are you alright?" Erebus asked in concern.
"I'm fine, but Wallflower needs help!" Sunset said to Erebus with worry. "You have to go after her, you can get me later."
Erebus nodded before running after the Geist and Wallflower, who was leading the Geist to a faraway area. Wallflower panted out in fear, trying to run as fast as she could, but it seemed that her legs were giving in. The Geist was after the stone that girl passed. He wanted it very much. Wallflower wouldn't be able to outrun it, but it was not interested in her, it was interested in the stone. She tried to use it at the Grimm, but it had no effect, there was one likely option, and it was to destroy the stone. So, with all her might, Wallflower threw the stone away from her, sending it hurdling to some boulders. The Geist retreated out of its stone body and went to the stone, ready to possess it. Everything was going slow mow, Wallflower shielded herself when the Geist's previous armor was falling apart while the Grimm was going towards the stone. But it failed to see Erebus was at a distance, with a fiery bow and arrow in hand as he fired a single shot at the Grimm and the stone, causing them to both explode. Erebus quickly appeared in front of Wallflower, shielding her from the fallen rocks and explosion, as the memories that were trapped in the stone were being returned to everyone. Sunset's memories of her friends were returned to her while the other memories returned to their owners, who were all asleep, and will remember about Sunset again.
As the explosion seized, Erebus slowly withdrew himself from a teary-eyed Wallflower, who appeared to have cried from the sudden explosion. Erebus looked at the scene before him. The Geist was gone for good while pieces of the stone were the ground, powerless.
"I-Is it over?" Wallflower asked fearfully.
"Yes, it is over." Erebus said, walking over to the pieces of the stone. He picks them up with his hand and observes them carefully. They lost all their magic within, indicating that it will no longer store magic or use it for evil. He puts them in his pocket before he and Wallflower make their way back to Sunset, who is struggling to get. But stopped when she saw both Erebus and Wallflower were okay.
"You guys are okay!" Sunset said in relief as Erebus helped her up on her feet. "What happened to the Geist?"
"It's gone along with the stone." Erebus said as he took out the pieces of the stone.
Sunset looked at the broken pieces of the stone and then to Wallflower. "Wallflower, how did you get this stone?"
"It's called a Memory Stone." Wallflower suddenly said sadly with her head down. She took out a paper that has encryption of Equestrian writing and pictures. "I found it in my garden when I was working, and I thought it could help but…but…" Wallflower sighs in shame. "I'm so ashamed. When I first found the Memory Stone, I only erased little things. Awkward hellos, saying the wrong thing, literally any public speaking…"
Both Erebus and Sunset looked at each other and then to Wallflower, knowing that all she wanted was to make a good impression. "It can be hard to talk to people and have some awkward moments that you wish you could erase, but it's not the option. It's important to remember the bad things so that you can learn from them rather than forgetting in denial."
"But it's no excuse. I was so used to erasing memories that I got completely carried away. I'm sorry for everything." She apologized while putting the paper back on her pocket. Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder to see Sunset giving her a small smile.
"It's okay, Wallflower." Sunset said softly. "I know what it's like to erase the past. Back then, I was so mean to everyone, that I wanted to be alone. But that all changed when I met a good friend who helped me realize the good and the bad. And teaching me that everyone matters, Wallflower. No matter how insignificant or invisible they feel."
"Y-You mean that?" Wallflower whispers in shock.
Sunset nodded with a smile. "I mean it, and I can help you make friends at Canterlot High, all it takes is confidence."
"What if they say no?"
"Then they are fools." Erebus spoke to her, getting her attention. "Because when I came here, I saw a brave girl that will help a friend in need and has amazing skills in gardening and making little things more beautiful. And if anyone that doesn't' want to hang out with you must be crazy."
Hearing this, Wallflower couldn't help but cry at this. Not tears of sadness, but tears of joy. Happy that they understand her and would accept her no matter what. Sunset and Erebus were there to comfort her as she cried. Erebus then suddenly lifted them both from the ground, causing the two girls to hold on his shoulders. Sunset was at his right arm while Wallflower was on his left arm. The two girls looked over to Erebus with a surprised look in their eyes as the Grimm Rider looked at them under his mask.
"Let's go home." He announced, earning smiles and nods from the two girls.
The two girls yelped in surprise as Erebus jumped high in the air, jumping from a tree branch before he took to the sky by walking through the air. The two girls were amazed by this, feeling the cold wind touch their faces. Soon, Erebus brought Wallflower home, making sure that no one could see them. They landed near Wallflower's window, opening it and allowed Wallflower to go inside.
"Thanks for...everything." Wallflower said with a smile.
"You're welcome, Wallflower." Sunset said with a smile. "See you at school tomorrow?"
"Yeah, see you tomorrow."
"Promise us that you can keep our little secret?" Erebus added.
Wallflower smiled and nodded her head at them. "Don't worry, you're secret safe with me." She promised before Erebus vanished through the night with Sunset in his arms and took her home while Wallflower smiles at the stars above.
"Aw, man! I can't believe we forgot to help Sunset with the project!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she and her friends were walking through the hall of the school. Unaware their memories were taken away and returned.
"I know! I bet Sunset was stressed out doing all the work!" Pinkie exclaimed with her arms spread.
"Oh, dear. I hope she's okay doing all the work." Fluttershy said with concern.
"Same here, darling." Rarity agrees with Fluttershy.
"Hey, guys!" Came Sunset's voice.
"Hey, howdy Sun-What in tarnation?!" Applejack suddenly exclaimed in shock.
Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity were all shocked to see Sunset was walking with crutches as her right ankle was bandaged up. Beside Sunset was Wallflower Blush, who was carrying Sunset's bag for her.
"Sunset! What happened to you?!" Rarity exclaimed in shock as she and the others gathered around her.
Sunset adjusted her crutches. "Oh, I tripped on the stairs when I was bringing some materials for the project downstairs yesterday." She explained, already prepared an explanation for her friends.
"Oh, dear." Fluttershy whispers in concern.
"It's okay, girls. Erebus told me to go easy on my ankle." Sunset assured them before placing a hand on Wallflower's shoulder. "But the good news, Wallflower was able to help me with our project."
Wallflower looked at her in surprise, she was still guilty about Sunset getting hurt, but Sunset promised to help Wallflower overcome her awkwardness and give confidence. "She's a big help in gardening and she was able to test out the theory of whether music can help plants grow."
"Really?" Applejack asked in interest.
Sunset nodded and gently pushed Wallflower forward. "Yup! And she's working on the special plant food." She explained. "She'll run you down with the details about it at Canterlot High's garden."
"Wait, we have a garden?" Rainbow Dash asked in confusion.
"Yeah! It's at the back of the school and Wallflower made it all by herself." Sunset explained to them, giving Wallflower a wink, making her blush a bit.
"That's interesting, dearie." Rarity said in amazement.
Wallflower blushed even more at this. "Y-Yeah…if you want, I can show it to you guys after school."
"Huh, that sounds like a good idea, Wallflower. We can help you and Sunset with the project before the end of the month." Applejack said to her friends.
They all agreed to this idea, making Wallflower smile at them, knowing that she was able to get the confidence she needs thanks to Sunset and Erebus. The seven friends made their way to class while helping Sunset along the way and worked together to finish all their classes. Once classes are over, Wallflower leads the group to the garden. Applejack and Rainbow Dash helped Sunset walk there without falling.
"Well, here's my garden." Wallflower said, showing her garden to her new friends.
Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity were amazed to see the garden. Wallflower was also amazed to see the garden suddenly change. She remembered that Erebus fought that creature called Grimm at her garden, she thought it was damaged, but it appears that everything was fine with new changes. There were four cherry blossom trees around the garden, along with a beautiful pond that has lily-pads on them as well as little fishes in them. Beautiful rose bushes surrounded the area and poles that had flower vines surrounding it. And there were makeshift tents that have the projects inside with music playing.
"Wow! Now this is a garden!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed in amazement.
"You made this by yourself?" Applejack asked Wallflower in awe.
"K-Kind of…but I didn't add those in the garden." Wallflower said, gesturing to the new trees and flowers.
Sunset looked up to a curtain tree and smiled. "I think I may know who did it." She said as she saw Erebus's crow form, perched on a tree branch as he watched them.
"What do you mean?" Fluttershy asked in confusion.
Sunset made a smile and gently said. "Oh, nothing."
"Wowee! It's our project for science class!" Pinkie exclaims happily as she looks at the plants inside the tents that were playing different music.
"Well, it seems it's time to put our efforts in helping with the rest of the work, right?" Applejack asked her friends.
"Absolutely." Rarity agrees with Applejack.
"Yeah!" Rainbow Dash grins.
Pinkie jumps with a cheer. "What are we waiting for!? Let's get planting!" She said as she took out a gardening trowel from her pink puffy hair.
The girls laughed at her before they went to work. Erebus's crow form watched them work together as Wallflower interacted with them, smiling happily as she assisted them if they had a problem with the project. Knowing that his task was done, Erebus took off to the sky, heading back to the Sweet Shoppe to go to work.
