One Week Later
"You sure you're okay, Sunset?" Applejack asked as they walked through the mall. "I mean, I've never seen you yell at anyone like that."
"I'm fine. I just...haven't gotten a lot of sleep that's all." Sunset assured as they continued on. "I need to use the little girl's room. Why don't you go find the girls and I'll meet you in a minute?"
"Sure thing, Sunset."
The two went separate ways as Sunset went to the ladies restroom and entered one of the stalls. She locked the door and closed her eyes. When she opened them, she found herself in a modified version of her home, with a large television, lavish furniture and a wall filled to the brim with books. Turning her head, she spotted the source of her uncontrolled outburst earlier. "Will you stop!?"
Solar Radiance laid on a long couch, reading a book before she marked the page and placed it on the table. "Care to be more specific Sunny?"
"Stop pressing my buttons. You know, I actually felt bad for you. That's the whole reason I didn't just leave you in a black void of nothing and let you have this. So I'd appreciate it if you would stop tapping into my emotions and making me look like a fool in front of everyone."
"Sheesh, fine. Take all the fun out of life. I'm bored in here. All the shows in your memories are so dull. It wouldn't hurt you to watch something with a little more excitement every once in a while."
Sunset sighed as she looked at her double still casually laying there. "Alright, I'll try to broaden my horizons a bit. Will you just take it easy. You don't exactly pay rent."
"Deal. Now run along and enjoy your time with your friends. Just be careful you don't let it slip that I'm still here. Who knows how they'd react if they found out you were lying to them." Sunset didn't respond and began to fade out of the realm in her mind. "Oh and the next time you dream about that cute boy in math class, tell him to come up and see me sometime."
Sunset found herself back in the stall and soon exited and found both her Canterlot High and Crystal Prep friends gathered around two tables in the food court. "Hey girls." The others waved as she took a seat.
"Hey Sunset." Indigo, who was seated in a wheel chair due to her injuries, greeted her. "So what's on the agenda today?"
"Well, there is this awesome movie I thought we could all go see." Dash chimed in. "It's got epic action scenes and explosions galore."
"Sounds like fun," Twilight noted before she turned her head. "Starlight?" The others turned to see the purple haired girl that had teamed up with Solar Radiance in her plot against them. Many of them met her with mixed expressions. "What are you doing here?"
"Just came to say good bye. I thought a lot about what you said and I've decided to go see Sunburst. Maybe we can patch things up if we sit down and talk. Wanted to say bye before I go."
"That's great, Starlight." The two shared a hug.
"I even made a new friend. She said she'd travel with me."
"What's up?" Everyone was shocked as they saw the siren, Ghost Note appear from around the corner. "Name's Ghost Note. Nice to meet you." She greeted them as if she had never met any of them before.
"Nice...to meet you too." Twilight extended her hand and shook the girl's as the others looked on.
"Well, we've got a train to catch. See you around." Starlight waved as she headed off. "You coming Ghost?"
"Yep, be there in a second."
"You better watch yourself." Sunset warned. "If you try anything..."
"Hey, chill. I've been de-clawed. Couldn't hurt you girls if I wanted to. Tell Adagio and her friends I'll see them around. I'm sure you'll be seeing my friends soon enough." She smirked as she rushed to catch up with Starlight.
"Wonder what she meant by that." Sunset wondered as her phone rang. "Hello."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." a frantic Trixie repeated over and over.
"Trixie, slow down. What's going on?"
"These girls showed up at school and interrupted my club. I thought they looked suspicious and I know you told me not to get involved but I got involved and now I really need your help! AHHH!" The phone promptly hung up.
"Trixie? Trixie!" Sunset turned to the girls. "Looks like we've got trouble. Let's go!"
Twilight turned to the Crystal Prep girls to apologize. "Girls, I'm really sorry but we have to take care of this."
"Now wait just one darn minute." Sour shouted as the Crystal Prep crew looked to each other than back to Twilight and the CHS girls. "As if we're gonna let you girls have all the fun. Count us in."
Pinkie jumped into the air excitedly. "Super best friends team up!"
