A/N: Another update! Sorry for the wait! I also apologize how short this chapter is, but the next two will be slightly longer.

This Wednesday, I will be seeing Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance on his solo tour. I am pretty excited, though I am hoping that My Chemical Romance will do a reunion tour sometime in the future.

Review Response Time! (Don't worry sonic3461, I replied to you already.)

Raven 105: This story is a single story alone, but expect Twilight and Brayden's relationship to come along after the next two chapters. Villains? They're going to be in this. :) Thank you by the way.

jvs12: Yep.

4theworldman: Thank you.

P.S. I just heard Kamelot's new album "Haven". It's really good. Now I can't wait for Cradle of Filth's new album: "Hammer of the Witches", Helloween's "My God-Given Right", Between The Buried And Me's "Coma Ecliptica" and Luca Turilli's Rhapsody's "Prometheus, Symphonia Ignis Divinus"! ...Okay, I'm being too obsessed with so many upcoming releases.

The sound of crickets chirping sweet songs and owls hooting could be heard outside while I was starting to stir back awake. I kept my eyes closed as I had passed out for some time. I could also feel a cloth of cold ice being placed upon my head. Doesn't this sound a bit familiar? But nevertheless, the cloth is released from my forehead for a quick moment and then is placed onto my head again. I groan, thinking it was just a bad dream of entering the mirror portal and that it was just Fluttershy.

"Fluttershy… is that you?" I had asked with a weak tone.

"Shhh… there there now. Just relax…" I could hear a different voice tell me and she sounded rather calm and really different, but this voice sounded rather familiar. "You were asleep for almost eight hours now."

"I… I had a horrible nightmare. I dreamt that I had gone through the mirror in Twilight's library to the other alternate universe. It was… completely terrifying to go through the portal for the first time." I said to whoever was speaking as she was gently dabbing the cloth onto my forehead.

"Well," The voice said to me. "You do not have to fear or worry now. You are safe and sound on the second floor of Pinkie's house."

That's when I realized that this was a change, yet this talk sounded familiar yet again. "Pinkie's house?" I asked in shock. The both of my eyes shot right open and moving my upper body up in bed I had been resting in. I was in a completely different room that looked quite similar to the ones I knew straight back on Earth. The moon was shining right outside of the window slightly in the night sky. I knew the direction that the voice had been speaking to me, so I turned to the left and looked rather surprised by who was sitting in the chair next to the bed I was lying in.

It was none other than Sunset Shimmer herself.

I move backwards a bit while lying in bed, fearing that if Sunset was still even a bit evil at all times. But when she saw me moving backwards in the single bed, she had a face that could tell she was worried about me and by how I looked only a tiny bit fearful. I had to make absolute sure though as I have only seen the first movie.

"Easy there now, you're okay," She tells me in a calm voice. She puts down the cloth and raises a hand. "I'm not going to hurt you."

"How will I know you're not still bad?" I asked her, still sounding a bit suspicious.

Sunset looked a little confused. "Me? Bad?" She questions. "Where did you get the idea that I sounded bad?"

"A lot can get around a few of my friends who still don't trust you. As much as Twilight does, I'm a bit on-off for what the opinions of my friends are." I told her. My left hand is gripping onto the pillow tightly whilst I talked to her.

"You know Princess Twilight?" She questions yet again. "I'm confused. Why would you go through the portal here? Twilight ended up sealing it off but only coming to help in case Canterlot High is attacked once again. I know this because I tried at one point."

I stop gripping onto the pillow with my left hand, calming down a bit. "I am well aware of what you did Sunset. But I am still in judgement on you after I saw all of the events that happened on what you almost did." I said to her, keeping a rather stern tone in my voice.

Sunset still kept her confused look upon her face. "H-How do you know all about that?" She asks, but sounds a bit concerned about me on if I was crazy or not. Next thing you know, they'll probably have me committed to this town's lunatic asylum even though I have not seen a single one from when I saw the movie.

"It's a really long story to explain," I told her, scratching my head. "You probably won't believe me or you'll be disappointed in me for telling you the truth."

She lets out a soft smile upon her face. "You can tell me, and I will listen. Don't worry; I'm not going to withhold any judgements on you." She says. Both of her hands are placed onto her lap and she is ready to hear me out. The whole room goes silent from our talk minus the night sounds of owls and crickets outside of the building.

I sigh silently and turn towards her, looking at her and ready to tell my story to her but in a rather brief version. "You see, I came from a world similar to here and Equestria, but worked more different. It's a world far from Equestria. I was close to being killed by a criminal gang of bikers. Princess Luna saved me though, and I ended up in Equestria, taking my soul from my mortal body on Earth. For a couple of months now, I've befriended a couple of the Equestrian ponies, and I managed to score the status of being Twilight's special somepony no matter how different I may be," I explained to her. "I've had a bit of a role now, when I had to take up the Song of Order by my own hand and use it against Nightmare Moon who came back. But I helped her in her redemption because I couldn't kill her. I spared her, and as many ponies still don't trust her… she's changing for the better good."

"The Song of Order?" Sunset asks. "Isn't that all part of an old pony's tale?"

"It was," I said with confirmation that there were still others that still confused on if the Song of Order existed or not. "But it came before me while trying to confront a violent Nightmare Moon. It seems that I now wield such a beautiful silver blade as such. I don't have it with me though, as it is still in Equestria."

"I see," Sunset says. "I would go back in through the mirror home, but I feel like my return wouldn't be too kind on other ponies that I've known before I betrayed Princess Celestia."

"I know the princess though," I said to her sounding a little assuring in my gentle tone. "I don't think she will end up mad if you were to return from here. I have a feeling that she would forgive you. If she can forgive Nightmare Moon, I believe she would do the same for you." I release a warm smile upon my face.

"I'm not sure…" Sunset says quietly as her head turns from me to the side and her eyes looking downward. "I did too much to end up betraying the princess."

"We all make mistakes though Sunset. You didn't mean to betray her." I told her.

Sunset nods, but still sounds a little down even when we're conversing about Princess Celestia. "It's what I fear she'll do if I ever come back. I've been writing letters to Princess Twilight. Wait- you and her are special someponies?"

I nod my head. "Indeed," I said. "It's a long story about that, but to sum it all up: let's just say that I ended up getting a bit of a 'crush' on her." I had to hide the detail that I was cheating on her with Coco Pommel in a somehow secret way, if she knew about it or found out Twilight would do Celestia-knows-what to me. I couldn't risk telling Sunset Shimmer about it either because she could no doubt inform Twilight about that.

"I see," Sunset's saddened tone rises to sound a little happy again. "I honestly wish you and Twilight the best in your relationship. I haven't fallen for anyone myself… well, there was Flash Sentry. I ended up dumping him though."

"You dumped Flash?" I said, remembering the image of what he looked like in this alternate world. As much as I would keep as sharp an eye on him as possible, Twilight wasn't here so I decided to leave him alone. I don't mind him now after visiting the Crystal Empire.

"Yes," Sunset said, a soft smile glowed upon her face. "But that was when I was on the bad side of life. I have moved on from that now, and as though as my past has been in dark times. I accept for what will eventually be a changed future for me; for the better good of it all. The both of us are now considered just as friends now."

"Yes, friendship is magic after all." I said to her, giving away the obvious message that the show had every time as its moral. "With our small talk, I believe that I can trust you Sunset."

"Of course!" She exclaims. "I don't want to ever play the raging she-demon leader ever again after what I had done at the-"

"Fall Formal." The both of us said at the exact same time.

She looked a bit surprised when I said it at the exact same time as her, so curiosity was upon her on how I knew this. "How did you know about that? I still didn't really get the answer for that question."

"On my world before I came to Equestria, there is something called television or rather 'moving pictures' as Pinkie Pie told me when I had to tell them the truth about where I really came from." I explained to her.

"Oh yes, Pinkie has one in her bedroom," Sunset says, looking at my brown eyes with her cyan eyes. "So it seems your world and this world has the unique same similarities."

I nod with a smile. "Yes, and there was a movie called Equestria Girls that had you, Twilight… everypony in it! I watched as you were that she-demon which looked awesome to be honest, but at that time I considered you the villain. Saying that to you now is something I will probably regret later." I said, my tone sounding a bit worried.

Sunset's right hand moves and is placed on top of my left hand, gently touching it. "You don't have to worry Brayden," She says to me, sounding rather okay with it. "I'm actually used to it now, so I'm not mad."

I sat up in the bed, crossing the both of my legs out of the sheets and taking my seat at the end of the bed side. "You've changed a lot the last time I saw you Sunset," I said to her. Her right hand comes off the top of my left hand. "I think we should be able to get to know each other, as friends."

"Oh yes, I think that is very well happening tonight," Sunset said to me, releasing a short giggle. "After all, when you flew in from out the portal, we had to take you to Pinkie's house. It's a slumber party no doubt, and Pinkie is able and ready at any moment when it is time to group up for something special." Footsteps could be heard outside of the bedroom, which the both of us can hear. "In fact, I'm guessing that is one of my friends coming right now."

The bedroom door's knob turns and then opens up. Coming in was the alternate version of what I knew as the athletic type of pony back in Equestria: Rainbow Dash. Her head was peeking in through the doorway at both me and Sunset.

"Hey Sunset," She chimes in. "I just thought that I'd let you know that the pizza's here."

"Alright, sounds good Rainbow," Sunset says to her, a bright smile on her face when she turned to look at Rainbow Dash from the other side of the room at the slightly opened door. "We'll be downstairs in a moment."

"Alright, take your time. I'll leave the door open when you're both ready." She says and then slips back from sight, with the sound of walking back down the hall and stairs.

Sunset turns back to face me. "I never did get your name yet." She tells me.

I nod with a smile of greeting upon my mouth. "Brayden. My name is Brayden." I told her, reaching out my right hand for her to shake, for which she responded with her holding onto that hand to shake it with her right hand. "Don't worry, you don't need to tell me who you are Sunset, after I saw all of what happened, it's alright."

"Of course." She says to me.

I let go of her hand and get up from off the bed and follow her. She brings me across the room and opens up the door into the hallway. From there, I began to walk beside her and was thinking about something to say to her. My head is turned towards her. She turns her head to look at me as well.

"So…" I said to her, still unsure how to start talking again.

"So?" She says, with a friendly smile upon her face.

I looked at her cyan eyes and asked "I was wondering what had gone up last time Twilight was here? I mean she did mention while I was away in Manehattan about having to deal with something."

"Oh, that?" Sunset exclaims in question. I had a feeling that knew that I ended up getting that curious. "Well, just like yours; it's a long story. There were three sirens attacking the students of Canterlot High and we had to call in Twilight to help us."

"Coco warned me about sirens before from Siren Cove," I said. "But I don't understand how siren would be able to get into this world."

"Long ago, they attacked Equestria and almost conquered it. Starswirl banished them here, he did not know if this would be affected. But we defeated them," She says to me and then stifled a giggle "Now they are three usual girls in Canterlot High."

"I see," I said to her. "I am pretty sure I have an idea of how it had gone."

"You probably do," She said. The both of us start heading down the small household flight of stairs. "But you'll be meeting my small group of friends in any moment now. Don't worry on how they'll judge you. Here, everyone has their own opinion by themselves."

"Just like back on Earth?" I asked. The mention of opinions seems to turn me off in a way. By how I said those words, I sounded a little sad. I turn my head only a bit away from Sunset.

Sunset looked only a little concerned when I asked in that glum tone. "Are you alright Brayden?" She asks me. I can feel her left hand gently on my back as if it were a pat.

"The people on Earth have very different opinions. Theirs hurt more than they do here, and by the way that they displayed them; it sounded more arrogant than usual," I started to explain. Sunset still looks a little concerned but begins listening. "I found myself to be hurt by their opinions when for example: let's say I liked something that was not really part of what they call the 'mainstream'. They poke fun at it immediately and some insult. When the insult comes into the act, it hurts my feelings deep inside."

"So yours must be different from here…" She said.

I sigh softly and then look at her again. "I miss that place, though at the same time: I feel free from everyone there being rude and arrogant from what I saw there around me. Even the children there have started becoming more violent due to the mainstream video games there." I said to her.

"The only time I've seen others play video games is when Rainbow Dash and Applejack are on the console in Pinkie's room where most of the time we all talk." She told me. "But one wrong move can cause a change in society's ways when you least expect it."

"It's sad," I said to her. "In the earlier days as a child, most kids would be spending their time outside at the playground. Nowadays when I was last there… kids are now indoors playing on their consoles. I mean, I was in that phase too where I'd just stay inside and play video games. I've moved on from that, only playing them from time to time."

Both I and Sunset step off the stairs at the bottom of the steps and onto the first and main floor of the house. We continue walking together down the hall; below the both of us were some plush carpet that was in the color of what else… pink. I can see this Pinkie Pie has some style to acknowledge her color onto the carpet. The walls and ceiling are a lighter pink than the carpet so the plush below was a little tinted down which was fine.

We turn to the left and enter into what seems to be the living room. The whole room was lit up and there was some music playing in the background quietly that sounded rather like it would be at a house party. Everyone is at a couch or a single chair gathered around to chat among each other.

That energetic pink haired girl sitting at the naval blue couch who I knew was Pinkie Pie is the first to see me there passing under the wooden arc. "Girls, there he is!" She says excitedly. She points right at me with a finger and she is smiling. "He's awake!"

Every one of the girls had turned around and saw me coming up to join them. Sunset walks alongside me for a few moments and then walks to the nearby couch where Applejack and Rarity were seated. All of them took a look at me, their smiles seemed rather welcoming. Heading onto the right side of the small room, I walk towards the couch where Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were sitting. Their smiles are brightened up when I take a seat in-between.

"Girls," Sunset calls out to the group and she has a smile upon her face. "I just talked with him while I was upstairs keeping an eye on him until he woke up. This is Brayden."

Rainbow Dash is the first to turn and introduce herself to me… again, since this alternate world is different from Equestria. "Well, I saw that you were waking up when I came upstairs to notify Sunset," In my mind I was thinking 'you don't say' when she was telling that before continuing. "I'm Rainbow Dash."

She moves her hand forward and offers a handshake to me. My hand goes to her hand and has a gentle grip onto hers and we shake hands. "It's nice to meet you, Rainbow Dash." I said.

Rainbow Dash noticed how gentle I was shaking her hand for those few moments and when we finally let go of the handshake, she lets out a bit of a chuckle and uses the elbow on her right arm to nudge mine. "Heh, I think I'm starting to like you already!" She tells me. "You seem rather nice too. I think you and I are going to get along well as friends."

I can feel a finger tap me on my right shoulder. I turn away from Rainbow Dash to take a look at who was tapping me. It's Fluttershy and she has a small smile upon her face. She is holding the both of her hands, and while she smiles innocently; she has a rather shy look upon her face.

"I'm Fluttershy." She tells me, sounding only a little shy but happy at the same time.

I move my hand and gently place it onto her left shoulder. But I was gentle because in case she still had a bit of the Equestrian version in her, I didn't want to frighten her after all. "It's very nice to meet you Fluttershy."

Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie Pie get off their spots on the other couch. Pinkie on the other half was lying back in a chair, so she just about jumped off of it when she was going up to introduce herself. Applejack is the first to come up to me. I get up off from the seat on the couch.

"Now, Ah reckon that ya must be one of them others who came flyin' out of the portal to Equestria," She says in to me in that recognizable Southern accented voice. "Ah'm surprised 'cause usually Twilight comes through the portal."

I nod with a smile and said to her "That's true, usually if she was visiting she would go in and look recognizable to everyone there."

"Ya," Applejack says to me and offers a hand shake which I accept and shake. "Ah'm Applejack."

"I am Brayden," I introduce my name to her just in case. "It's nice to meet you Applejack."

"My turn! My turn!" The both of us could hear an energetic pink teen jumping up and down and looking rather excited to greet me. Applejack steps out of the way and I pretty much know what is coming up next.

Pinkie jumps forward towards me and wraps her two arms around me, giving me a really tight hug which I did and did not see coming there. "I'm Pinkie Pie! When I saw you coming out of the portal, I was like 'wha-' because I did totally not expect anybody to stumble through it. It's Twilight for the two times then, but seeing a new face from Equestria is fun!" She says to me while squeezing me.

"Can't- breath! Pinkie!" I struggled to get out from my mouth as her hug was really tight around me, just like Pinkie back in Equestria. Eventually, she lets go of me and giggles. "Well, I will say that you like the one I know back in Equestria a lot." I chuckled.

"You're from Equestria?!" Pinkie says, sounding rather shocked. She then goes super uber-happy once again. "That is AMAZING!" I could hear that signature squee sound.

"Well, yes and no." I said to her. "It's a bit of a long story from where I actually am from."

"I love long stories!" Pinkie blurts out with the most gigantic smile upon her face. "You can tell us when we're having pizza!"

Rarity is behind Pinkie Pie and taps her on the right shoulder behind her. Pinkie turns around and still looks rather happy. "Pinkie, may I introduce myself to Brayden?" She asks her.

Pinkie nods and heads to the side allowing Rarity to come forward and say hello to me. "Greetings Brayden, I am Rarity." She says to me in her grand voice that I knew. "I own the Carousel Boutique a couple of streets down from here."

I move my hand forward and offer a handshake. She accepts it and l gently take her hand and shake it gently. "It's nice to meet you Miss Rarity." I said to her, smiling.

"You have such nice manners," She says to me with a warm smile. "But you don't have to call me Miss Rarity-"

Pinkie butts into the conversation. "Enough chit-chat!" She announces abruptly but rather happily. "Pizza is waiting for us in the kitchen and I can smell it from here!" She takes a big sniff from her nose that I could hear. "That smells delicious! I call Pepperoni!"

"I call it too!" I exclaimed to her with a smile upon my face. Pinkie Pie runs off into the kitchen and I join up with Sunset and the other girls to follow that energetic girl into the kitchen where even I could smell the fresh and hot pizza waiting for all of us.

We make our way from the living room and pass the hallway into the kitchen just opposite hall from the living room, only a small walk down. There was a wooden maple table set up with a group of six. Three at each end, but there was an extra chair at the end of the table's other side. On the table were seven plates with glasses that were filled with clear and fresh water. Pinkie was behind the counter of the kitchen, getting the two white cardboard boxes of pepperoni and cheese pizza. I knew that because when she brought them to the table, she opened it up revealing what they were.

I take my seat at the extra chair that had been set up for me and begin waiting patiently for the slice of pizza. Sunset takes her seat next to me on my right side. On my side besides Sunset, Fluttershy and Applejack took their seats as well. On the opposite side of the table, Rarity and Rainbow Dash were already seated. Pinkie gets out the slices and gives each of us two slices from the two pizzas. Me, Pinkie, Rainbow and Sunset got the pepperoni slices. For the cheese slices, Fluttershy, Applejack and Rarity were the ones who asked if they could have it, so they did.

I began to eat my pizza in silence among them at first waiting to start a conversation with one of them. Taking a bite of pizza, I mush it down so that I can swallow down that piece. Once I have finished, I take a look at the group who were just eating away at dinner. Just like in Equestria, Rarity is eating rather lady-like so I guess that's another resemblance to her Equestrian self in this world.

Sunset is the first to talk to the girls. "So, what is on everyone's mind for tomorrow?" She had asked.

"I've got something planned out, and I was thinking of inviting you all!" Pinkie says in her usual energetic and happy tone. "There is a humongous party going on at Canterlot High tomorrow night all hosted by Vinyl Scratch! Girl also has her headphones on though, so it's kind of hard to get a word out of her unless you take the phones off of her ears."

"How much are the tickets, Pinkie?" Rarity asks. "I heard the sales for them are quite high at this time in the season."

"You don't have to worry about that Rarity!" She said. "The tickets aren't that expensive at all. They are only at least five dollars and seventy-five cents a ticket each."

"Ah'm in!" Applejack said. "We're all goin' to have a good time then, so Ah'll pay for a ticket there."

"Count me in." Rainbow Dash said, taking a sip of water afterwards and then gulping down before continuing. "Soarin might be there after all, and I guess that is another one of the smallest reasons why I'll end up going with you girls."

Pinkie began to tease her a bit. "Someone's got a crush on Soarin!"

Rainbow's cheeks lit up like a Christmas tree and she looked rather annoyed. "I do not!" She shouts, sounding a little embarrassed.

"Oh don't lie to us Rainbow!" Pinkie says with a loud audible laugh. "Whenever you're not with us, besides playing on the field: you're mostly talking to Soarin and the rest of his friends!" A large sneaky smirk appeared on the girl's pink face as Rainbow's cheeks lighten up more.

"What about you Fluttershy?" I asked and turned to her. This question had stopped the oncoming argument between Pinkie and Rainbow, and I feared it would get ugly so I did not want anything like that to happen even though Pinkie was only joking about. "Are you planning on going to the dance tomorrow night?"

"Oh, ummm…" Fluttershy says. By how she said this, it sounded like she was unsure about it. "I don't really know…"

"Come on Fluttershy," Applejack says, bearing a smile upon her face. "Ah know that yer still tryin' hard to interact and break out of that comfort zone."

"I… I guess I might be trying." Fluttershy says, still sounding a little quiet. "But I'll come along to try and do that."

"That's the spirit Fluttershy." I commented, putting a friendly smile on my face. "Remember, don't ever be afraid to try something new."

Sunset glances at me for a few moments and turns back to look at the girls. "What about Brayden?" She asks. "I don't think he has said anything about wanting to go attend the dance with us… wait, what was the dance called again?"

"It's the Summer Sun Canterlot High Dance." Pinkie responds to Sunset's question. That sounds like Equestria's equivalent of the Summer Sun Celebration celebrated by everypony there. I mean, I haven't attended one of those before, so I'm hoping that if I do; nothing goes wrong.

"Thank you Pinkie," Sunset says and turns back to me with a smile on her face. "Brayden, are you interested in going to the Summer Sun dance with us?"

I looked at all of them. Each of them were looking right at me as if they were wanting me to accept their invitation to their school dance. Pinkie even displayed a rather puppy dog eyed face that was so hard to resist saying no to. My final decision is thought quickly inside my head and I give a nod with a smile on my face. "Yes." I had given them their answer. I pause for a moment though. "I don't think that Equestrian currency will be able to work in this world."

Sunset places her left hand onto the top of my right hand. "Don't worry about it Brayden, I will pay for it to give to you." I turn my head and look at Sunset with a rather friendly smile. Maybe I was acting a bit too harsh at Sunset from the start and that she was really good after all.

There was the sound of a throat clearing on the other side of the room where we came in. My eyes turn up towards that familiar figure at the arch. I was surprised because I thought I recognized her by that gray color and down-tinted violet for the color of her hair. Who else but Maud Pie herself! In her left hand, she's holding onto a small rock which I kind of figured must have been 'Boulder' himself.

"Sorry if I am interrupting anything girls," She said in a rather dull voice. "I was wondering if Boulder could have a small slice of pizza. Boulder also wants a slice as well."

Pinkie reaches forward to the pizza box with only a few slices of cheese pizza left. "Absolutely! Is cheese alright with you Maud?" Pinkie asks.

"Boulder said he is alright with it." She says again in that dull tone. Then her somewhat tired eyes turn to my direction and she takes a glance at me. "Who is this boy?"

"Him?" Pinkie says, rather surprised. "That's Brayden."

Maud just stares at me and I stare back at her. Both of us were emotionless in our stare-down and eventually, Maud turns back towards Pinkie with that same dull tone as she speaks. "That's nice to know."

Pinkie gives her and the small 'boulder' in her hand the slices of pizza and she turns and walks right out of the kitchen. Everyone in the room except Pinkie has rather awkward looks on their faces that I did not notice during the entire small talk between Pinkie and her sister. One of us had to speak out and bring back a topic.

"I still don't get it." Sunset says to Pinkie, sounding only a tiny bit shocked. I turn my head to look at her. "I don't understand how she is related to you."

Pinkie pops up between me and Sunset which surprises me for a split second because Pinkie was on the other side of the table. "Silly! I was there in the family when she was around." Pinkie says with a smile. "Being born a Pie on a rock farm can totally make a huge difference!"

Sunset looked like she was not going to question about family bloodlines, so she just about decided silently not to question how Maud was related to her anymore since that seemed like even a reasonable answer from Pinkie herself. Pinkie goes back under the table and heads right back to the other side of the table, just continuing to eat away at the slice of pizza she has on her plate.

For the rest of the evening, me and the girls just finished up on the rest of our pizza, and then most of the time, head into Pinkie's garage where her drum kit was set up. It looked rather improved from what Pinkie was telling me when we stepped in. There used to be a single bass drum, but after the 'siren' incident they told me about, she upgraded it to double bass drums. Other than showing me the new kit, the girls jammed out for at least an hour playing some instrumental songs.

I would show them my skills at playing the guitar, but I will have to save that for tomorrow if I want to do that. Last thing that I wanted on my mind was to wake up some of the neighbors and have the girls receive angry texts from neighbours. After an hour of that instrumental jam to watch, it was already time for everyone to go to sleep. So I went upstairs with the girls. The girls went into Pinkie's room, and I turned to head into that other room I had been resting in.

"Brayden?" I could hear Sunset say to me when I had pushed open the door slightly. I turned around to look at Sunset from slightly across the hall.

I look at her with question filling my mind. "Yes?" I asked.

Sunset pauses and just looks at me for those moments. I just stand there, waiting for a bit of a response. Silence fills in the gap between us. She finally just shakes her head and says "Never mind. Have a good night rest."

"You have a good night as well." I said to her with a smile on my face. I turn my focus back onto the door and push it open, entering into the room.

I gently close the door behind me, and walk up towards the bed that I was resting in. I lie down onto the soft warm bed and pull up the sheets that were on the bed over my body. I close my eyes and allow myself to start and take rest from what happened tonight in peace.

Goodnight Equestria… and the Alternate Equestria. I will wait for what happens next tomorrow when I visit the school. So far it all seems to be a great visit here.

…For now.
