Chapter 9: Meeting Sunset! And Fluttershy upset!

I got up, was going to help Wild Berry up when I had noticed that she was already up dusting herself off when I heard the familiar voice that made my heart almost sore straight into the sky from shock before I reigned it in "SUNSET SHIMMER!" in the flesh!

*Hey you must be the friends that Twilight told me about that you would be coming here to see and learn how things worked on this side you must be Star Gazer my name is well you already know guessing by the look of amazement on your face and... a little drool?*

When she said that I blushed very bright red and wiped my bottom lip and started laughing.. But before I extended my hand I remember that she could read minds and feel emotions so I was a little taken back about it then I remembered something else that Celestia did for us..

"Before we went through the portal"

*Oh one more thing Star Gazer, Wild Berry I will now put two spells onto your bracelets you have now on your hooves.. One will be to implant false memories onto them to where if Sunset's ability activates she will only see you coming to Ponyville and making friends with Twilight and her friends and helping with many different friendship problems including helping out with the setting up of Apple Jack's friend Rara's benefit concert and such as that so there will be no problems there as far as we know.. And second will be to where my sister Luna will be able to enter into your dreams on that side of the mirror and to help you Star Gazer improve use of your "Constellation Magic" to where these battles that the Prophecy Book spoke of will be on a level plain! NOW GO MY LITTLE PONIES!*

That was when we entered and exited to here and now why I am still gazing at the gorgeous Sunset Shimmer and quite frankly drooling again as I wiped my mouth again and taking her hand and shaking it as a sign of friendship! Instantly her eye's made that distinct blurring out color and her vision ensued and as soon as it began it ended with her smiling, she looked to me again and chuckled and I thought I saw a faint blush!?

*Hehe you know light gray may not look good on a guy's head in my opinion, but it does give you some character for the rest of yourself and I am digging the light purple hair style it seems so you!*

I get the feeling that everyone's color of their mane and tail get lighter when they enter into this world? I looked back into the mirror portal and noticed that I was roughly about 5'9", had a decent amount of definition to my figure but I wasn't about to let that go to my head.. I also noticed that my out fit was a clay tanish colored suit top which matched my bracelet that Wild Berry had made me, khaki pants, and white tennis shoes.. My cutie mark was embroidered onto my handkerchief pocket where a handkerchief was that had the same cutie mark embroidered onto it… I turned to see Wild Berry was also checking out her new features in the very same mirror.. I wonder if this is what Twilight felt like when she first checked herself out in a mirror "astonished!"

*And you must be Wild Berry!*

Sunset offering Wild Berry a handshake as well too which Wild Berry happily obliged! But it would seem her ability didn't kick in with her?! Hmm I guess it is only with someone is quite emotional in the moment she does this that it activates? Oh well wasn't gonna dwell on that.. Sweet Celestia I am actually talking to thee SUNSET SHIMMER! I let out a *Squeal!* out loud! Sunset clearly noticing it was directed at her, turned her head and blushed again kind of giggling at how goofy I was..

*I am guessing Star Gazer that Twilight "your Twilight" has told you about me?*

*Umm yeah you could say that and I am just thrilled to be in the presence of such a gorgeous girl!*

*GASPING!* At what I had just said I turned to my side noticing a laughter coming from Wild Berry, and a HUGE blush on Sunset's face, her mouth literally hanging wide open!

*SORRY I Umm!*

She shook her head and regained her composure and let out a *Cough!* she started talking once again!

*It's fine… Umm anyways how about I show you around the school?

*~Yes!~*

Me and Wild Berry let out simultaneously before Sunset started walking towards the school, Wild Berry pulled me aside saying…

*We will catch up in a second Sunset you can wait for us inside!*

*Okay Wild Berry don't take too long we still have to get you enrolled here at the school!*

Wild Berry started to whisper in my ear..

*Okay what was that about casanova!? Usually first impressions are supposed to be at least a little more subtle than that okay!*

*Sorry I just got a little "Star struck" hahaha get it!*

Wild Berry rolled her eyes and *Ugh!* At me waving towards to school to get walking!

*Sometimes it seems that you only know how to make jokes Star Gazer! It gets kind of annoying, but I have learned to live with it but that doesn't mean I have to like it every time you make a bad joke or what not!*

She glared back at me a bit before turning around, reaching out and opening the door to enter the school, then holding it open for me to enter too which I took advantage of before she thought about letting the door loose for me to open for myself..

I walked in and she paced right in beside me as we walked through the halls and saw Sunset at her locker, finally spotted us and started waving a big smile on her face showed that that first impression was nothing new to her and that is what I guess due to Twilight's first time here I started to chuckle a bit..

*Sorry I was trying to lift the mood so we could clear the air, readjust and you know make better second impressions…*

I smiled at Wild Berry hoping that made her not mad at me again….

*Ugh I am not mad at you and yes that was plastered all over your face that thought was.. And yeah your right second impressions are good too, like a retake of a test you could make it up... I completely understand and that is why we've been friends since kindergarden..*

She returned my smile, patted my shoulder and we both waved back at Sunset, my smile turned into a toothy grin and I made a goofy chuckle which made Wild Berry start laughing a bit before playfully elbowing me in the side saying..

*Ooooh Sounds like someone has a bit of a crush!*

She started sing song whispering into my ear as we got closer to Sunset, the blush on her face indicated she can actually hear what Wild Berry was sing song!

*Star and Sunset sitting in a tree!*

I cut her off with a playful elbowing to her side of my own before I saw Sunset have a nervous grin on her face, then I facepalmed myself, made a slight *ugh!* before I heard a *chuckle* out of Sunset which made me perk up a bit..

*You guys must've been friends for a long time Twilight told me about that you have, ever since I do believe she said Fillygarden?*

I nodded in unison with Wild Berry..

*Yes me and Wild Berry have.. Now umm you were going to show us around the schoo…!?*

I was cut off by a very familiar "Rainbow colored dash" coming down the hall stopping right in front between us and Sunset before we made it to her locker!

*Sunset we have a REALLY BIG problem!*

Rainbow Dash clearly distraught about something, though not so sure if it was actually a real problem but Wild Berry was clearly convinced as she had a shocked look on her face so I followed suit and plastered one on my face as well..

*What is it Rainbow Dash?!*

Sunset clearly also as shocked!

*Fluttershy's tambourine torn on one side of it!*

*Ugh Rainbow Dash! Is that all you had to say!?*

Sunset realizing that most of the time it had something to do with the Rainbooms when Rainbow Dash was distraughted and she should've known better…

*Okay fine let's go see what can be done about it.. Did you know about the spare tambourine in the storage closet we got for Fluttershy?*

*Uh haha funny story about that Sunset….*

Rainbow clearly feeling ashamed about something she did wrong about…

*Okay Dash what did you do?*

Sunset rubbing her temples before taking a deep breath and exhaling...

*Umm I kinda was shredding out a little too hard on my axe while you were introducing yourself to the newbies and well…. Tripped over my cord and knocked into one of Pinkie's symbols on her drum sending it flying towards Fluttershy and she toppled over in fear and fell right on top of her tambourine kinda tearing it at the edge of it…. Ha ha…*

Rainbow Dash looking down feeling utterly embarrassed at how she looked she didn't even want to turn around but just waved a hand over the back of her at us then walked off back towards the band room or wherever it is they practice at now….

*Sorry Rainbow Dash always seems to get herself into some kind of trouble that I have to fix and when she comes to me when she gets scolded she knows immediately that she messed up.. Lately I have been the one responsible for the band as a whole since our Twilight is still somewhat new to the whole "being in a band thing" and at times it gets hard but your Twilight always told me to keep my head up and never give into peer pressure… Although as good as friends as I got and how everyone has come to trust me and respect my answers and I don't want to let them down but at the same time I always need help from my friends to keep me grounded as well..*

Sunset closes her eyes and smiles letting out a tear, which I went over and pulled out my handkerchief, handed it to her and she used it to wipe away the tear..

*Thank you that was sweet of you! I think we will get along just fine Star Gazer!*

Her smile turned to a widened grin, then was going to return my handkerchief to me but I refused..

*You keep it just in case you need it again it is a gift from me to you..*

I smiled and winked at her which made her cheeks turn a red with blush instead of the usual ember color..

*Uh… Thanks I guess… Umm Anyways let me give you the tour of our school!*

As she started off down the hallway in front of us her hips having a bit more sway in them than usual like her mood had completely changed from the usual sass to a more tender sweet mood, at that I do not mind whatsoever, a smile stretching from one ear to the other.. Wild Berry noticing what was going on with Sunset as well and giggling about it just to where I could hear it.. Minutes went by after we started down the hallway visiting the chemistry lab, the computer room, home economics room, ect.. We ended the tour at the usual place the band room where we heard something unusual even more so than Sunset is probably used too!?

*Rainbow Dash you apologize to me right now!*

Fluttershy screaming as high as she could 'which isn't much but still!'

*Fluttershy you know I didn't mean to honestly!*

Rainbow Dash retaliated at that point I think she actually was sincere about it!?

*I know you weren't probably paying attention but seriously Rainbow you could use a couple of lessons about paying attention!*

At that point we entered the room with Sunset rushing to get between Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash!

*You guys now is not the time to fight we have guests in the band room!*

Sunset pointed us out, me and Wild Berry both waved at them making little to no difference because they weren't even paying much attention except at one another!

I decided to go help Sunset, I walked over to where they were and tapped Fluttershy on the shoulder since she was obviously the one who was distraught, at that point that made Fluttershy *EEEK!* and literally jump three feet in the air before landing on her butt!

*Ow! That really hurt!*

Fluttershy said looking up to who tapped her shoulder and noticed that it was the new person that Sunset was talking about and started blushing deep pink color before scrambling to get to her feet I reached out and took her by the hand to help her up which got another *EEK!* from her and she leapt to her feet herself… I just chuckled to see her startled a bit..

*Oh my gosh Sunset you weren't kidding when you said we had new people joining our school!*

*That is actually what I just said Fluttershy now I know you're upset at Dash but I am most certain that she is sincere when she says she did not do it Fluttershy…*

Sunset talking in yet a again a calm and collected voice displaying her sense of leadership, then Sci-Twi intervened as well..

*Yes Fluttershy I believe that Sunset is well within the parameters of being right and I also believe that Rainbow is sincere about her mistake she made because isn't it Sunset who can read emotions as well as thoughts of the people she touches when they are in a state of emotion crisis or turmoil?*

Sci-Twi making a very good point and Pinkie Pie on the back drums also nodding in agreement..

*She does make a pretty pretty pretty good point!*

Pinkie Pie chiming in for a second.. Sunset spoke again.

*Now will you two just make up please I hate seeing best friends fighting over something so minor as something that is easily replaceable over a short period of time and you two know I am right..*

*~Fine I am sorry..~*

Both Fluttershy and Rainbow saying at the same time before hugging it out and then Pinkie says

*HUGS! Hugs are always a good sign!*
