Author's Notes:

WARNING: This chapter as well as others to come is unscripted. That means it hasn't been pre-planned like all the chapters before. This came to me as a crazy idea as I edited my last chapter. If there are any mistakes please let me know. If you do not like this unscripted chapter, please let me know in the comments.

Everything happened so fast. The ambulance had come and whole school was frazzled. Everyone watched in shock as the paramedics carried Sunset into the truck. Twilight hopped into the back much to their surprise. From the cuts and blood all over the queen and the fact there's Twilight, rumors spread. The most popular rumor was that Twilight beat her up and Sunset K.O'd.

But that's not how it happened, of course.

Twilight sat beside Sunset's bed as the doctor told her the girl's condition.

" Your friend here is depressed and with all that mental stress, we assume she attempted to commit suicide. She probably punched the mirror to get a piece of glass to cut her wrist but due to the pain, she passed out. This girl is very much underweight and malnourished so the possibility of her having fainted after the sudden impact is very high."

The doctor was about to say more when a nurse came rushing in holding papers and x rays. " Doctor, this is serious."

The nurse whispered urgently to the doctor and his calm expression changed dramatically. His slight smile dropped into a nervous, tight-lipped frowned. He glanced at Twilight and cleared his throat.

" Young lady, is there an adult here with you?"

" No," Twilight responded." But our principal should be on her way here."

The doctor nodded and turned toward the door with the nurse following. " Watch over your friend. She may be suicidal," he said in a pinched voice.

Something was wrong. Twilight knew from their nervous behavior. They weren't telling her something...

Twilight looked at Sunset who laid in the bed looking peaceful, like death was hanging over her. The cuts came from her cheek to her hand, some sores stretching across her shoulder and arm. There were bags under her eyes and her face was slightly sunken in at the cheeks. Sunset's hair fanned out around her face like rays of dull light.

Twilight felt her heart squeeze in her chest. This is probably how she'd look in death. She'd look worn out yet grateful it came to end her continuous torture. Twilight subconsciously raised her hand to brush the loose strand of hair from Sunset's face. Her skin felt soft to touch despite her rough personality. It was like silk; warm and smooth under her fingertips. The strand she tucked behind Sunset's ear and moved her hand away.

That's when Twilight noticed how beautiful Sunset was. Even though she looked a bit older from malnourishment and whatnot, she still looked amazing. The girl's hair was just as stylish as Rarity's, but somehow she made it that way by only a few strokes of a brush. Rarity had a whole salon going on with sprays and gels. Sunset had lovely green eyes that had a spark of mischief, unlike Applejack's, who Twilight also thought had nice green eyes.

Sunset's olive complexion skin was free of any marks(except for her eye and cuts) and was as smooth as a foal's flank.

Sunset definitely was fit. That was as plain as day. She wasn't as active as Applejack or Rainbow Dash, but she was third place when it came to running around a lot. Twilight especially thought so when Sunset removed her leather jacket. Sunset had the body of a gymnast, with long slender arms and legs slightly muscled and defined. It was much unlike Rainbow Dash, who had small compact muscles due to running around on the soccer field, or Applejack's completely ripped body. If Twilight hadn't known Sunset, she would've thought she danced or did something like cheerleading.

And her hips! They were clearly noticeable as well as her butt and chest.

Twilight cleared her throat. She was embarrassed by these thoughts. Was she attracted to her? Twilight shook her head. It was only observation. Twilight frowned slightly. Whatever the doctor was hiding wasn't good. Surely he'd tell Principal Celestia. All she had to do was wait for her to come...

But that didn't turn out as expected.

She started to feel tired and yawned. With the smell of lavenders drifting through the air she closed her eyes and laid her head on the bed. Yawning softly, she fell asleep beside the girl and dreamed of her friends prancing around in a meadow full of roses and bluebells.

Celestia and Luna flew down and landed in front of the palace. The meeting with the Duke and Duchess ran a little late. Ok, a lot late.

It was 10:00pm at night, five hours over their original planned time of arrival at the castle. Celestia was exhausted and was glad to be home. She wanted to talk to Twilight anyhow. She had noticed that her former student had been acting strangely. Maybe she was having troubles with her duties but didn't want to admit it.

Celestia said good night to her sister and went into her room. She had the herald look for Twilight and sighed. Celestia hadn't intended to leave Twilight with the castle as long as she, especially since she believed Twilight struggled with her responsibilities.

But five minutes became ten and ten, fifteen.

Celestia waited for the herald to come back patiently. He came back with a paper in his mouth. The herald sat it down and said," Your majesty, princess Twilight is not in the castle. But she did leave her schedule behind."

Celestia glanced down at it and paused. This schedule was indeed Twilight's; her handwriting was all over it. But the things on it were from her schedule.

Celestia- Meeting w/ governor[22nd of that month]

Visiting Cadence[11th]

Lunch w/ council[3rd]

These were some of the things on it. What puzzled her the most was the circled date, that happened to be that day.

Meeting w/ Duke + Duchess

Why did Twilight know her schedule? She had never asked for it yet here she had it. What did it mean, the circled date? Celestia assumed Twilight went home. She probably had this down for a special reason. Celestia's 1562nd birthday was that month and she might've been preparing something for her.

The alicorn smiled. Twilight was very thoughtful. She dismissed the herald and settled down to sleep.

If she had known what it really meant, the circled date, she would've known to go to the portal.
