Okay, I was never the ‘party girl’, but when I was alive, I would always go and have some fun. C’mon, I’m not a prude. I’m not Twilight Sparkle. In one day that I was with her, I already observed her enough to know that she was only going to that stupid party because they were her friends.

I was sitting on my bed, one day after talking with Twilight and making the deal and it was already night, looking at Twilight that just finished dressing for that Pinkie girl’s party. I was still wearing my usual clothes and didn’t mind not changing them, I mean… Why would I? The thing I was looking more forward to was meeting that Fluttershy, and getting to know that Discord, so maybe we would destroy that magical sucking device thing faster than what I had expected. And so I wouldn’t have to care about teaching a nerd about magic. Profit.

“Are you done? I never thought you would be that kind of girl,” I rolled my eyes and heard Twilight let off an irritated sigh.

“I am not… ‘that’ kind of girl, okay?” She paused and turned to me, “I’m ready. I was just thinking while looking at the mirror.” Twilight coughed, “Now let’s go. Pinkie’s room isn’t far, it’s actually almost next to ours” She walked to the door and opened it, I followed her. She locked the door and then kept walking towards where was that girl’s room.

“So… how are those friends of yours?” I asked after a moment of silence.

“They are great. Well… at least for me. I don’t know how a grumpy she-demon would think about them,” Twilight answered with what looked to be a little provocative smile on her face and I only raised a eyebrow.

“I’m not ‘grumpy’, okay? I just want to do my work and go home, and maybe become something important to Tartarus, alright? And I really don’t like the idea of spending time with humans. I was actually kind of glad for leaving this world,” when I said it Twilight seemed confused.

“Why?” She asked, “All the stories we hear about Tartarus being a bad and terrible place are… kind of real right? So… why do you still want to stay there?” Twilight whispered asking, afraid that someone could listen. They would probably think that we are crazy.

“Because humans are assholes.” I answered just like that.

“Not all of them are, you think I am an asshole? I mean… I never did anything bad.” Twilight’s voice was weak, like I had hurt her. “I mean… well, not if you consider creating the device with Discord a bad thing.” She laughed nervously.

I didn’t answered for a minute. She wasn’t bad, she really wasn’t, she was just… keeping me from where I wanted to be. And that made her just a little bit of a problem, but not an asshole. “Well… no, I don’t think you are. Don’t worry.” I smiled a little at her and Twilight smiled back. I then widened my eyes, “Wait… that doesn't make us friends, alright?”

Twilight giggled, “Don’t worry. I know the rules, and I’m not willing to mess with a she-demon’s rules.” She winked and I smirked.

“I bet you aren’t.”

As I said that, we stopped in front of a door, it was like fifteen rooms after ours, and Twilight knocked it. I could hear the voices of people talking, mainly a excited feminine voice that wasn’t just talking, she was practically screaming!

The door opened in seconds. “TWI-TWI!” It was a small girl, blue eyes, curly pink hair. I judged that to be Pinkie Pie or something. “You’re here! Aaaand you brought someone!” the girl smiled brightly looking at me, and I waved with no excitement.

“Yes Pinkie, this Sunset Shimmer. Sunset Shimmer, Pinkie Pie.” She pointed from me to her.

“Oooh! Are you new here? What’s your birthday?! Your fave game? Do you like boys or girls? Do you prefer cats or dogs? OR MAYBE ALLIGATORS?!” Pinkie Pie asked nonstop. I blinked, confused as hell. “Where are you from?”

“Eh, oh, Manehattan.” I said nervously, the girl seemed to believe me.

“Awesome! Our friend Rarity was also from there! But you don’t look like a prissy girl, you almost look like you came from Ponyville, where it is super duper more fun than it is in Manehattan,” she exclaimed. She looked around for a second and then turned to us again, “Don’t tell Rarity I said that,” Pinkie said between her teeth.

“Pinkie Promise.” Twilight nodded and I just shrugged. “Anyways… Let’s go in?”

“Oh! Sorry, c’mon, make yourself at home!” Pinkie exclaimed as she bounced to her room. It was a little bigger than ours and while one part of it was full of food and sweets wrappers, on the ground and even in (what I supposed it was) Pinkie’s bed, the other side was completely clean and the dresser next to the other bed was full of makeup like lipsticks, eyeliners, eyeshadows, and every single kind of makeup under the sun. “Sorry for the mess! Dashie and Jackie are coming later, don’t worry,” She winked at Twilight and then jumped at her bed. “Rarity! Flutters! Twi-Twi brought a friend,” she exclaimed to the two girls who sat in the other bed, talking about something. There was a speaker in the corner of the room that was playing some music I didn’t knew, it was some shitty nowadays pop music. Rock was so much better.

One of the girls was very tall, with almost pallid skin, with a baby-pink hair and she was holding a bunny. I didn’t know how it got in, since animals weren’t allowed in that place, but I guess she broke some rules or the principal herself allowed it to come in. The other one had a darker skin tone, with purple hair and she was wearing makeup, I guessed that was the prissy girl Pinkie Pie talked about, Rarity.

“Oh, Twilight darling!” she got up and came to Twilight, hugging her. “So… who’s this?” Rarity asked, looking at me up and down.

“This is Sunset. Sunset Shimmer. I thought that Pinkie was going to be my roommate, but actually I misread it,” Twilight blushed a little.

“Well, hello darling.” Rarity winked at me and I smiled, almost letting out a smirk. “You know, I wish she was your roommate in Sunset’s place. No offense darling,” she said to me.

“None taken.” I shrugged.

“Why? I thought Pinkie and you were always good friends,” Twilight giggled.

“Oh spend some days with her, darling. She has absolutely no chill,” Rarity looked back to see if Pinkie was hearing, but she was talking with the other girl. “Well… At least she sure knows how to brighten up someone’s day.’ A warm smile appeared in her face, with a bit of a blush, but then she coughed. “But she is still too much, oh my sweet Faust.” Rarity laughed a little.

“I think you can handle her, don’t worry.” Twilight said with a wink.

“I hope so,” Rarity sighed. “Come on darling, sit here. We need to talk about some things.” She said as she walked back to her bed and sat next to the tall girl who was laughing softly at a pun Pinkie had made.

Twilight just followed her and I followed too after Twilight gave me a look as if she was saying ‘just roll with it’ to me. She knew I wasn’t satisfied.

“Uh… I actually was going to say the same thing for you Rarity,” she said when she sat on the ground next to the bed. As the other bed was next to this one, I sat next to Pinkie Pie, who is sitting on her bed and was curiously observing me. “Actually, I need to talk about some things with Fluttershy.”

The tall girl widened her eyes. “M-m-me?” Apparently, the shy girl was… well, Fluttershy. What a twist, huh? I rolled my eyes mentally.

“Yes, it’s not too much. Me and Sunset only want to know something,” Twilight said calmly.

“Oh…” Fluttershy fiddled with her thumbs for a few moment. “Sun-Sunset? Is it… her?” She asked Twilight.

“Yes,” Twilight nodded happily.

“Eh… h-h-h-hi.” Fluttershy said trying to hide behind her hair, giving me a timid wave and I smiled a little at her actions and then gave her a wave back. “W-what do you need from m-me?”

We looked at each other, and then at her again. “We-”

“Hey gang!” We jumped as we heard the door open and a hoarse feminine voice. I looked back to see an athletic  girl with average height and long rainbow hair entering the room with a box of bottled cider in her hands and was followed by a tall girl with blonde hair, and is very, very strong, if her biceps were any indication. “Wait… who’s this? I mean, I got like eight ciders here, some extra if anyone wanna drink more but maybe there’s not enough for her.”

“Oh, why, hello Rainbow darling. That’s Sunset,” Rarity jumped from the bed, seeming more excited than before, and walked towards the two girls, saying a ‘hi’ to the tall blonde and smooching her, both smiled to each other and then she turned to Rainbow again. “She won’t drink a lot, okay? And even if she does, you know Fluttershy doesn’t even drink.”

“Meh, that’s right. I totally forgot! We bought eight for nothing.” She looked down at the box and then let out a smirk, “Welp, more for us then!”

The blonde gave a small tap to the back of Rainbow’s head. “Ya’ ain’t gettin’ drunk tonight, no one is.” She crossed her arms at the smaller girl who pouted a little and then rolled her eyes.

“Alright, alright, mom.” Rainbow put the drink box in Pinkie’s dresser, that didn’t really had anything laying in it, and then sat on Pinkie’s bed, next to me. “So… Sunset, huh? You must be new here. I’m Rainbow ‘Danger’ Dash, but you can call me Dash,” she winked at me, reaching her hand out to me. I shook her hand slowly.

I frowned. Who had Danger as a middle name? “Rainbow ‘Danger’ Dash? Is Dan-”

“Nah,” the tall blonde girl sat next to Fluttershy and Rarity in the other bed, she already had a cup of cider in her hands. “That’s just Dash tryin’ to look cool.” The blonde laughed a little, Rainbow didn’t seemed to enjoy her words.

“I don’t need to try and look cool, okay? I’m already awesome.” She smiled and beat her chest, with a proud look on her face.

The blonde shook her head and turned to me. “Ah’m Applejack by the way, but ya’ can just call me Jack if ya’ wanna.” Applejack winked at me, I just gave her a forced smile.

Twilight coughed. “As I was saying before Rainbow entered here like a crazy-”

“Hey! I’m not crazy, the place “crazy” is already taken by Pinkie.” She mocked the pink haired girl who took a bottle and sat next to her.

Pinkie took some moments to answer. “But of course! It’s the best thing someone could ever be, Dashie!”

Everyone, except me, laughed together a little. Once they stopped, Twilight let out a last giggle and then “Anyways, Fluttershy we need to… know Discord’s number. He never gave me it, I don’t know why, he always seemed that he didn’t wanted to someone discover something about him.” Twilight added with a frown.

Applejack let out a discredited laugh. “Discord? Why ya’ll wanna talk with him? He’s a creepy-”

“He is not a creep!” Fluttershy suddenly rose her voice for the first time, then widened her eyes when she realized what she done. “S-sorry, I-I… didn’t meant to shout…” She coughed, “Applejack, h-he is not creepy, he is my friend. And Twi-Twilight’s too.”

Applejack crossed her arms, “Do what ya’ wanna do or talk with him, alright? But if ya’ll need help to find where the heck he’s then don’t ya’ expect me to help. Ah don’t like that guy…” She bit her lip.

“What makes him so bad?” I finally asked.

“Ah dunno, alright? He just… He’s too mysterious. Like he wants to hide something from everyone,” Applejack explained with a rushed voice.

“Well, what we need is serious, so Fluttershy… can we have his number, please?”

“I-I… uh… he doesn’t really like when people call him. B-but… I need to talk to him first, give me some t-time. M-maybe I can give you the number at the e-end of the party,” She explained with a much lower voice than when she was talking with Applejack. “I-if you will still want it, that is.”

“Absolutely,” Great, now we wait. I crossed my arms and she nodded, taking out her phone to probably talk with Discord.

“Hey guys, c’mon! We need to talk about some things, alright? Like what happened with the squad in the Holidays or what’s been up in life, you all know know the drill.” Rainbow interrupted and everyone agreed.

After that all six of them began to talk about everything they’ve done in the end of their first year there, I was quiet during the entire conversation. Rainbow Dash told about some… very unbelievable adventures she had with Pinkie Pie by her side (they almost seemed like sisters, but separated at birth, from all the time they spend together), Applejack about the life in her farm and how Fluttershy was helping her out there. Rarity talked about how she got an opportunity to work with her aunt, a very famous designer, called Sassy or something like that and Twilight told me about an experiment that she was doing and that it gone totally wrong. And she said Discord was involved. She never mentioned the part that it was a magic sucking device, however… they would think she was crazy.

“So… that’s why you need Discord?” Rainbow asked.

“Yes, he may… be able to help it ‘work out’ and Sunset will also help too, she may even teach me one or two things,” Twilight smiled at me with happiness and I, somehow, gave someone the first genuine smile that night.

“Sunset is an egghead like you?” Rainbow giggled a little.

I rolled my eyes. “I know some stuff. But that doesn’t make me a nerd. Not that there are problems with nerds,” Unless they suck your magic, then that’s a problem, I added in my mind. “I’m more of a music person.”

Rainbow shrugged, ignoring me. “Anyways, take care, ‘cause I need to go with AJ in this one. Discord is… a total creep, sorry Flutters.” She smiled kindly at the tall girl, who nodded slowly.

“I like him!” Pinkie exclaimed.

“Pinkie, you like everyone.” Rainbow added with a chuckle.

“That’s true,” Pinkie nodded and Rainbow shook her head.

The ‘party’ had gone well, we talked a little more and we got the drinks, even I got some. But, finally, when the clock beat eleven o’clock we all needed to sleep. Rainbow and Applejack, who were roommates, gone together to their room, Applejack gave Rarity a kiss first and then left.

Fluttershy and us gave Rarity and Pinkie a ‘bye’ and then walked out from the room, still staying in front of their door. Then Fluttershy turned to us. “He says… that he want to, uhh, talk personally with you t-two a-and don’t worry he-he knows what the t-thing you are, uhh, talking about…” She nodded.

“Thank you, Fluttershy. I think that, without you, we wouldn’t make him say where he was.” Twilight smiled, ‘So…?”

“Oh, eh… He’s living in Ponyville. It’s four hours from h-here. But you can g-go on Saturday, since we… don’t have classes that day.” Fluttershy explained and blushed a little, looking down. “C-can I go? I… really want to see him.” She gave us a timid smile.

“Oh…” Twilight looked at me, “Sunset can she-”

“She can, I understand you wanna see him, don’t worry. Just… not getting around our business, then it’s okay.” I said and Fluttershy smiled brightly at me.

“Thank you!” She exclaimed and then coughed. “H-he gave me the directions and where he’s, uh, living. S-so I’ll give you the address when we are going there o-okay?”

“Awesome, thanks again.” Twilight said with a smile.

Fluttershy widened her eyes suddenly. “Oh! I-I said you were Sunset S-Shimmer and… he says he wants your n-number. Can I…?” She asked weakly. “I really don’t know why he wants it, but…”

“Eh… alright.” I shrugged, feeling kind of suspicious and then said my number out loud, as she sent it to the man. As Tirek was, sometimes, smart, he gave me a phone just in case I needed it. “There, just don’t call me in the middle of the night, I’m not okay with it.”

Fluttershy giggled. “I-I don’t think he will,” we stayed in silence for a moment. “Eh… I need to go. Tree Hugger must be expecting me to come, she said she wanted to show me something… ‘out of this world’.” She smiled and waved us a ‘bye’ and then walked away.

I looked at Twilight. “Seriously, who’s that Discord?”

Twilight sighed. ‘He is… mysterious, like Applejack said, but don’t worry, he won’t do anything bad. He may be random and look crazy, but he’s not bad.” She secured me, “Now let’s go, I’m kind of tired right now.” She didn’t had to say anything, I had already started following her back to our room.

For my surprise, I couldn’t sleep. I was tired, we danced a little and I even had some drinks and I was tired. But still I couldn’t stop thinking why the heck that man wanted my number. I was starting to think that maybe he was more than everyone thought he was… And maybe he even knew more than everyone...

“Twilight?” For some reason I felt the urge to call Twilight and see if she was awake, just to have someone to talk with. I desisted in the first try, she was already sleeping.

I sighed and looked at the ceiling for what looked like hours, but I was just being dramatic, and it was actually just some minutes. Then I heard something vibrating, it was my phone. I turned to the dresser, where it was and lazily took it and saw that I had a new message.

It was from Discord. I widened my eyes and opened it, only to see it said something weird: I know who u r, Sunset Shimmer. Don’t u worry. I’ll help u two, but I need 2 have a talk with u, a very important one. Arrivederci ;)

I frowned at the message and put my phone back to where it was. “What the heck…” I murmured.

What does he wants from me? I didn’t knew, but, for some reason, I was curious and scared at the same time. Saturday couldn’t come faster. And in that night, I was lucky as fuck, I didn’t slept. Ugh.
