Sunset and I walked into the Sweet Shoppe. The Rainbooms were discussing in the usual corner of the cafe. We walked over to them. "Hello, Sunset," said Rainbow Dash coldly. "Well, what a surprise."
"Girls, please!" begged Sunset. "I'm innocent! Princess Twilight and I have been communicating and- and she said that- that
"Remember who you are, Sunset. Remember that I am still on your side. Remember you have changed for good."
Please, girls, you have to believe me!"
Sunset pulled out her journal, pushing it in front of the Rainbooms' noses.
I heard the door open but didn't see who it was. The next thing I heard was Sunset scream with pain. She had been stabbed in the back. Sunset and I turned, facing 3 girls, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. Applebloom had a knife in her hand. Sunset held her hands up. "Girls, I know you did it. And I think I know why. You were jealous of me hanging around your sisters, am I right?"
The CMC nodded miserably. Applebloom raised the bloodied knife. "Don't you dare, Bloom!" yelled Applejack.
Applebloom looked determinedly at Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. She raised the knife, plunging it into Sunset's chest. Sunset fell to her knees, an ear-splitting screech escaping her lips. She wrenched the knife out of her chest, then fell to the ground. I fell to my knees, kneeling beside her. Sunset turned onto her back. I ripped my jacket off, pressing it to her chest.
"Fuck, Sunset!" I shouted. "Don't fucking die on me!"
Sunset was coughing, her eyes bloodshot. She was crying and coughing, blood spilling from her mouth. Life faded from her eyes, as she lay still. She was dead.
Rainbow Dash stood up, kicking The CMC. Applebloom and Sweetie Belle were down, Scootaloo was still fighting back.
I was sobbing. I really loved her, genuinely. But I never got to tell her how I felt. But if she knew… if her friends knew… if they knew… maybe her life would have been spared.
I put my head to her corpse. "I love you, Sunset," I said softly.
