A Sunlight Story
Chapter 1: The Portal
Load Full Story Next ChapterSunset’s POV
Another day at Canterlot High. I sometimes hate coming here even after the whole battle of the bands fiasco I’m still looked upon as a horrible person by some people. I guess some people don’t let things go…
It’s not all bad though; I have great friends who always lookout for me and I return the favor in the same respect that they deserve.
I run down the hall as fast as I can into the main hallway from there I walk outside which I gain a very scary yet somewhat funny surprise from Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie tends to do a lot of stuff I can't even begin to describe. One time she managed to carry around a Cannon full of confetti. I don't know how much that thing weights or where she got the money to get such an item but from what Rarity told me was 'Never question what Pinkie does.' After that I begin to become more at ease with this. “Hey Sunny what’s up? How’s it going? What do you want to do? Where do you want to go?-“
“Pinkie I'm fine thank you I don't feel like going anywhere today.” I stated as kind yet firm as I can be. Sometimes Pinkie can get real annoy if you let her ramble on.
“So Darling, do you have any plan regarding Prom?” Rarity asks as she paints her nails next to the Horse Statue in front of the school. And then it hit me like a light. Prom…
“I don't have any plans for Prom yet I actually forgot all about it until you just mentioned it now.” I said with a blush of embarrassment across my face. Rainbow begins to kick a soccer ball at the Statue. When the soccer ball made contact with the concrete frame the ball ricochet back and hit Rarity causing the nail polish she was using to spill on her arms. Rarity gasps loudly and with much annoyance as she cleaned off the polish. The ball however returned to its owner can Rainbow kicked it up and caught it holding it in her arms to avoid any more mishaps.
I begin to stare at the Statue. Something about it was ‘off’ like something was there but wasn't there at the same time. Could the portal still be opened? Could I actually enter Equestria? These question become stuck in my head as I walk home to my apartment.
Sunset Shimmer paced around her living room. She wanted to make amends with Princess Celestia and hope she will forgive her for what she has done. One question kept creeping up in her head while the others are left unsolved. ‘Can I do this?’ she thought and thought but then she remembered something. ‘Some magic was left behind… So that means maybe I can walk through the portal just like twilight did!’ Sunset thought out. She put on her signature jacket and ran out of door to the main entrance of the High School. The cold air blew through Sunset causing her to slightly shiver from its icy breeze. “Damn its cold outside maybe I’m wrong and this is all just a mistake. Twilight said that the portal can only be opened every 30 moons but somehow she walked through in a very short time and stayed longer before when we fought off the sirens during the battle of the bands.” Sunset spoke aloud to herself, or so she thought she was alone.
Emerging from the school building was Rainbow Dash and the whole baseball team. They looked all tired expect for her (Let’s all face it she can do crap that no one else can. Like a Logical Pinkie Pie). The Wondercolts didn't mind Sunset as they said their HI’s and Bye’s as they either limped home or just walked as a group. Rainbow Dash ran to Sunset Shimmer and hug her as a greeting. “Hey Sunset! You missed the game but I’ll be happy to tell you all about it if you want?”
Rainbow said as she placed her bat and the winning baseball leaning against the statue. Sunset looked uneasy as she doesn't know how to explain to at least one of her friends what her true purpose was for being there. Rainbow examined her and recognized her uneasy emotion. The way she’s avoiding conversation is a dead giveaway.
“Something wrong Sunset?” Rainbow asked attempting to gain a response but failed. Sunset Shimmer was looking at the statue as if trying to see a way around or through it. Rainbow Dash picked up the Bat and ball and faced her direction and movement to the statue. Rainbow didn’t understand what she was doing or what she was looking at. Sunset looked at her with more of a happier expression then the one before.
“Rainbow… I plan on going back to Equestria!” Sunset said with much admiration. Rainbow Dash stared at her longingly. ‘Only Twilight can go through the portal how is she going go through herself. When Pinkie Pie ran at the portal to chase after Twilight she went face first into the statue and fell back in pain.’ Rainbow thought as she herself was very confused on trying to comprehend the situation. Rainbow snapped out of her confusion. Sunset faced Rainbow Dash so they meet eye to eye, “Rainbow I want you to tell the others where I’m going. I think I can walk through the portal-“
“Twilight closed the portal behind her.” Rainbow Cut short of Sunset’s sentence.
“Remember that there is still some magic left behind from Equestria due to the imbalance. Maybe I can use a partial amount of that magic to activate the portal!” Sunset walked up to the portal and begin to breathe in and out. She placed her hand on the concrete marbling of the Statue. For a moment it felt like the concrete but her hand went through. Sunset pulled her hand out. She looked at Rainbow who already was star struck of how what she just witnessed was possible.
“Well Rainbow tell the others I’ll be in Equestria. I might not come back or I might come back who knows.” Sunset waved bye to Rainbow who just waved back. As Sunset Shimmer walk through the Portal she wasn't sure if she was ready to face Princess Celestia or not. Next Chapter: Confessions and Memories Estimated time remaining: 1 Hour, 31 Minutes
