Chapter 2.

The sun was just barely creeping up over the houses and buildings that made up Canterlot City. Sunset was already up writing in her in a journal that she had brought with her as she sat at the kitchen table waiting for Pinkie pie to get up. As she wrote she still felt warm and fuzzy inside thinking of the good times she and Pinkie had, had the previous night. She wrote in her journal.

Place of journal entry:

Pinkie Pie's home, Kitchen table:

Looks like it is yet another very cold day outside today, I hope my friend Pinkie is going to be smart enough to dress warmly today. She had invited me over for a sleepover at her house yesterday after school. I couldn’t believe it when she asked me to come over for a sleepover. I mean to actually have a sleepover with one of my best friends! It was a dream come true. (Hmmm need to make a mental note to thank her for this!) I really loved the warm pjs she let me use, not to crazy about the colors though. But, all in all these things are not that bad. I like the little cat on the front of my… er.. I mean her... shirt that I am wearing right now. Makes me feel kinda happy when I look at it in a mirror. Maybe I should tell Twilight about this sleepover thing. Perhaps she might have some ideas as to what I am actually suppose to do at these uh, things. Pinkie and I did stay up rather late last night talking about our day at school. We talked about all sorts of stuff! Like how Pinkie wants to be a world class chef when she is done with both high school and college. Or how she thinks Gilda of all people would make a good police officer. I almost fell over laughing at the thought of that. Yeah gilda tough as nails and thick in the head as a brick, Glida a cop come on really! I never in a hundred moons thought that I would ever be able to have a good friend like Pinkie. Actually come to think of it I actually didn’t think I deserved to have friends not with how I…..well treated every one before the Fall Formal that is. I am so happy that they all have come together to give me a second chance. I feel as if they are my family and I really need to make sure that this time I don’t screw it up like I did last time. I love them all so very much. I just don’t want to lose any of them I am not sure what I would do without friends or what I would have become of me.”

As Sunset finished her diary entry for that day she heard a loud beeping coming from Pinkie's room and figured it was her alarm clock going off. Placing both hands against the table she had been sitting at in the kitchen. She pushed lightly on it and scooted the chair she was sitting in back from the table then stood up. After closing her journal she stretched and yawned then headed up stairs back into Pinkie Pies bedroom. Looking down at her friend sleeping with her head at the foot of her bed with her feet up against the bed board. Sunset smiled as she walked over to the alarm clock that was blaring loudly. Looking from the clock to Pinkie then back at the clock again. Sunset scratched the back of her head as she thought to herself while listening to the thing blare out it's annoying tune.

“How in the world can she sleep through this thing? I mean it is loud enough to wake the dead”!

Just as she was about to pick up the alarm clock to shut it off. A pink hand shot out and grabbed hers by the wrist causing Sunset to jump and yelp as if she had just seen a really scary movie. Turning to face where the pink hand had come from Sunset was face to face with what could only be called a pink nightmare. Pinkie was drooling from the mouth, her eyes were crusted and looked like she was well in need of a spa treatment. Her skin was three shades darker than what it normally was and her breath smelt like she had been drinking sewage water all day. She looked at Sunset who looked like she had seen a ghost before hissing out to her.

“Don’t touch Mr. Alarmy clock!” Pinkie said in a half tired voice before falling backwards landing her back as she fell back asleep snoring loudly.

Sunset looked at the pink girl now fully fast asleep then turned to her alarm clock and shook her head. After Sunset removed Pinkie’s hand from her wrist and laid Pink girls hand back on top of her chest. Sunset turned to the bedroom door and walked out of Pinkie's room closing the door behind her as she left the room. She felt it was more than a good idea to walk back down stairs and start up some coffee thinking that would help bring her pink skinned friend out of her sleepy stupor. Getting back to the Kitchen she found Pinkie's sister Maud Pie in the Kitchen. She was just getting to work on making some coffee as Sunset walked into the kitchen. Maud said nothing to Sunset as she held up a small rock in her hand showing it to Sunset. As the coffee came to a boil and the pot hissed out that coffee was ready for use. Muad without a word to Sunset held out her rock then poured the steaming hot liquid over the rock and onto her hand. Sunset watching in terror as Muad continued to pour the coffee out of the pot over her rock and hand exclaimed.

“MAUD WHAT IN THE NAME OF CELESTIA ARE YOU DOING”? Sunset exclaimed as she grabbed a towel from a nearby shelf.

Maud again said nothing as she finished pouring the coffee out over her rock and onto her hand. Sunset took the towel she now had in her hands and began to frantically wrap it around Mauds hand. Maud looked at the makeshift bandage then at Sunset and simply walked off. She walked over to the front door of her and Pinkie’s home opened it and walked out without a word to Sunset closed the door behind her then started to walk down the street. Sunset sighed to herself then looked at the mess of coffee that was all over the kitchen floor and counter from Maud's little display. Sunset took another towel out from where she had gotten the last one from and started to clean up the mess. As she finished the cleaning Pinkie came down stairs saying to her as she walked into the kitchen for breakfast.

“Morning sleepy head”. Pinkie said in her normal excited happy tone of voice.

Sunset looked up from her cleaning the kitchen and smiled before she could reply to Pinkie though she found herself suddenly wrapped in a tight but, loving embrace by the pink skinned girl. Sunset returned the gesture with a gentle hug of her own. As the embraceful hug ended Sunset spoke to her friend in a bit of a shaky voice. As she wasn’t sure how to broach the subject as to what Maud had done a few moments earlier before Pinkie had come into the Kitchen.

“H… Hey Pinkie….I was wondering… could I talk to you about your sister? I mean if that is, well I mean if that is ok with you that is”? Sunset said as she scratched the back of her flashing a half smile on her face to her friend.

Pinkie smiled back and nodded to Sunset. Who was still very nervous about bringing this topic up yet she felt that Pinkie needed to know what Muad had done to herself while Pinkie was still sleeping. So with her strength gathered up as best as she could and with her courage ready to fly out a window she said to Pinkie as calmly as she could.

“Pinkie you should know that maud took some coffee and poured it onto her hand while holding up some sort of black little rock in her fingers. I tried to stop her from doing this yet I was unable to do so. I did however cover up her hand with a makeshift bandage that I got from one of your towels before she walked out the front door all without a word to me about this. Now I don’t know what to do and I am worried that your sister might try this again or might do something even more well drastic.”  Sunset said as she looked at her friend with eyes that were filled with concern for Pinkie's sister.  

Pinkie fell over laughing when she saw how concerned Sunset was for her sister. While laughing Pinkie said to Sunset as Pinkies arms and legs kicked out in all directions as she laughed.

“Silly my sister does that all the time it is how she wakes herself up in the mornings.” Pinkie said through a fit of unbridled laughter.

Sunset just grimaced at this notation thinking to herself as she looked at her pink friend sprawled on the floor laughing hysterically.

“If that is what Maud does to help herself wake up in the morning. I would hate to see what she does to put herself to sleep.”  

“Uh so you are not worried that she is going to do something more drastic than that. I mean come on Pinkie! She poured an entire pot of boiling coffee over her hand!” Sunset said as she looked at her friend who was still laughing on the floor of the kitchen.

Pinkie stopped laughing and got to her feet before throwing her hair back and beaming a great big grin to Sunset before saying to her.

“Of course I am not worried. As I said Maud does this all the time. Like I said it is how she wakes herself up. I know her uh, ways seem a little well strange to some folks but, to her it is what works.”

“Well if you are sure there isn’t any real reason to worry then alright I will drop the issue here then.” Sunset said as she looked at her friend who was still smiling like a Cheshire cat.

Looking around the kitchen Pinkie felt that rather than eat breakfast at her home it was a good idea to take Sunset out to breakfast.Turning her attention to Sunset Pinkie said to her excitedly.

“Hey Sunset how about instead of eating breakfast here, you and I go out for breakfast”?

Sunset thought about this as she too looked around the kitchen then replied to Pinkie Pie with.

“Sure why not, But; umm, where are we going to go? I mean I don’t imagine there will be too many places that are open at 7 A.M. in the morning.” Sunset said as she scratched her head trying to think of a place they could have breakfast at.

“I know! Why not go to Sugarcube Corner I am sure the cafe is open at this hour and they have all sorts of yummy stuff to munch on.” Pinkie said excitedly.  

“Ok yeah that sounds like a plan to me, let me take a shower and get dressed then we can head out in about oh say forty-five minutes.” Sunset said as she turned to head up stairs.

“Sure thing the shower is upstairs first door on your right just before you get to my bed room. To turn the shower on just pull the knob forward and crank it to the right or left depending if you like cold or hot showers.”  

“Thanks Pinkie.” Sunset said as she headed upstairs and into her friend's bedroom to get her clothing then headed into the bathroom to take her shower.

Once inside the bathroom Sunset undressed and did as Pinkie had instructed her to do to turn the shower on. She reached out took a hold of the knob that was labled ‘shower’ and pulled it out front then turned it to the right. She waited for a few minutes then tested the water with her hand to see if it was warm enough to climb in and shower off. After seeing that the water was at a temperature she could tolerate Sunset climbed and began to lather her hair and body down with the various shampoos and soaps Pinkie had inside the shower. As she took her shower Sunset couldn’t help but, think to herself.

“I really do not deserve to have her as a friend. I really do not belong here in her house I belong out there on the street. How can she be so nice to me after all I have done?” Sunset thought to herself as she ran her right hand over her left shoulder that was badly scarred from months of non stop cutting.

Meanwhile Pinkie was down stairs sitting at the kitchen table when she noticed Sunsets notebook sitting on the table. Sunset had forgotten her makeshift journal as she had made her way upstairs to take a morning shower. Completely letting curiosity get the better of her normally sound judgement Pinkie reached out and opened the book up. Turning to a page that was dated shortly  after the Fall Formal what she read in the diary entry left by her dearest of friends. Would leave Pinkie Pie more worried about her friend now than she was when she first asked Sunset to come over for a sleepover. It had been almost a year since the Fall Formal and as Pinkie read the diary of her friend who was upstairs taking a shower she got more and more worried for her. She read.

“Diary.

Date:

December 10th, 2015: Thursday.

I do not know if I should ask for help or not I have been unable to make any headway in making friends since the Fall Formal. I feel as if I don’t deserve to have friendship not after what I did during the Fall Formal. I spent most of my entire time here wrecking lives and completely destroying friendships. Now it has been about six weeks since that damn dance and I am no closer to redeeming myself than I was last week or the week before that. I have although at least some good news well maybe dark news. But, news nonetheless I have found a way to punish myself so that I will never make a stupid mistake like I did at the Fall Formal again. Each night before I go to sleep and each day before I head out for school from this abandoned gas station that I am hold up in. I will cut myself along my shoulder to make sure that the pain from being a failure will intensify as a means to remind myself not to do something so foolish again. I have as I write this down already used a razor that I found inside a trash can a little while ago before coming back here on myself. I must say I was not expecting it to hurt so much let alone for there to be so much blood. But, at least I know now that I will be able to use this as a means to punish myself for what I did during the Fall Formal. Well it is getting late and I need some sleep. Time to make a few more cuts before I turn in for the night. I wonder if the rats that live here with me would like join in on this punishment idea of mine?”

Pinkie couldn’t bare to read another word in the journal she closed it and pushed it away from her. Her eyes began to fill with tears at the thoughts of her good friend being not only homeless. But, also someone that needs to cut herself in order to be punished for something that in Pinkie’s mind was a little trivial. Thinking to herself as she got up and headed up stair to get her phone off her nightstand she stopped in front of the bathroom door and gently knocked on it.

“I can’t believe she actually does that to herself now we need to make sure she has place to go tonight. Oh Sunny I know things have been bad for you but there is no reason to do that to yourself.” Pinkie thought to herself as she stood in front of the bathroom door.

“Sunset you alright in there is there anything that I can get for you.” Pinkie called out through the door.

Sunset Looked at herself in the mirror standing there naked in front of it thinking as she sighed so she could collect her thoughts on the matter before answering her friend.

“No Pinkie I will be alright. I should be ready to go in about ten minutes ok. Why don’t you call Sugarcube Corner and find out what they have for breakfast menus? I will be out in just a few minutes thanks”. Sunset called back through the opposite side of the door.

“Uh that won’t be necessary Sunset I already know there menu by heart so how about you hurry up and we can get going ok.” Pinkie called back through the door.

“Oh uh alright I will be out in just a few minutes then and Pinkie Pie.”

“Yes Sunset.”Pinkie replied

“Thank you for everything that you have done for me.” Sunset called back.

“Oh no problem at all we are friends after all and that is what friends do for each other they help each other out when they need it. I’ll be in my room getting my phone if you need me.” Pinkie said as she turned to go to her room to collect her phone.

Pinkie didn’t know that Sunset had already found a razor blade inside the medicine cabinet and had already started another round of cutting herself up like a turkey on Thanksgiving day. Rummaging through her friends lower sink cabinet Sunset found a small camping style first aid kit. This she opened and used the largest of the bandages she found inside it to patch herself up with. Once she was satisfied no one would be able to tell she had mangled her arm with a razor. She put the kit back where she got it from got dressed and stuffed the used bloodsoaked razor into her coat pocket with the intent on using it latter on that day. Then she opened the bathroom door and  headed into Pinkie's bedroom to collect her boots. Pinkie was sprawled over half her bed as she was trying to pick up her phone off her nightstand with her teeth. Sunset took one look at her friend doing this and completely fell over laughing. Hearing her friend behind her laughing hysterically Pinkie stopped what she was doing got off the bed and looked at Sunset before saying to her in a high squeaky voice.

“What’s so funny? Did you think of a good joke that I can tell our friends later on tonight? Is there whipe cream coming out of my nose? Did we get invaded by cute little bunny rabbits?”

Each of these question only caused Sunset to laugh even harder until she was crying from  laughing. The mere sight of Pinkie sprawled out across her bed trying to get her phone off her nightstand with her teeth no less had given Sunset a much needed emotional boost for that day. Pinkie just stood there looking at her friend laughing like a wild hyena that had just caught his favorite prey before she couldn’t take it any more and exclaimed out in a very high pitched tone that caused her friend to stop laughing and actually sit up.  

“Sunset what is so funny!” Pinkie squealed out.

Sunset stopped laughing for a moment as she sat up and wiped a tear from her eyes. She looked at her friend while half way coughing as she spoke to her.

“I am sorry Pinkie I didn’t mean to upset you like that. I just saw you sprawled over your bed like that and well I couldn’t help it. You just looked so damn cute and so damn silly lying like that over your bed trying to pick up your phone with your teeth no less. Can you forgive me for laughing at you like that.” Sunset said with a grin on her face.

Pinkie just smiled back and held out her hand to her friend whom Sunset took her hand into hers and accepted being helped up off the floor of Pinkies bedroom. Looking at her friend then over at the clock which now read 8:30 A.M. Sunset smiled then looked to where her boots had been placed the previous night. She found them placed right next to Pinkies bed and bent down to pick them up. Watching her friend bending over Pinkie thought she saw a small hint of a white bandage ever slightly peeking out from underneath Sunsets shirt. However not wanting to cause any more problems for her friend Pinkie choose to remain quiet about what she thought she had seen and instead smiled again when Sunset picked up her boots then slipped them on. Pinkie looked at her friend then said to her calmly.

“Would you mind waiting down stairs so I too can get dressed and then we can head out.” Pinkie asked as she looked at her friend with a smile on her face.

“Of course not Pinkie I will wait for you in the kitchen come get me when it is time to go. Oh uh be sure to wear something warm today it is going to colder than a ice storm in Equestria today.” Sunset replied as she walked towards the bedroom door.

“I don’t actually know what that means but I will make sure we both have something warm to wear today you go wait for me at the Kitchen table and I will be down in just a few minutes.” Replied Pinkie as she watched her friend step out into the hallway and head down stairs

“Alright that sounds like a plan to me.” Sunset said as she walked down stairs then took a seat at the kitchen table.

Once Sunset had left and Pinkie was alone in her room she quickly got herself dressed the picked up her phone and called up Applejack. Waiting for Applejack to answer she thought to herself as the phone rang and rang.

“I can’t believe Sunny feels the need to cut herself I know she gets lonely at Christmas time but, that really is no reason to cut herself up like a dinner at restaurant.”  

Applejack answered her phone after the fourth ring speaking into it as only Applejack could. All the while looking around for her boots before spying them by the front door of her home.

“Well howdy Pinkie what brings a city girl ah’like yourself to be ah’calling me at this time of day? Shouldn’t you be calling the others and making plans to get Sunsets gifts so that we can all show her our love and support”? Applejack said as she played with the cord to her phone on the other end of it.

“I will get her, her two gifts today. We are going to go to Sugarcube Corner and get some breakfast. I was wondering what time are you and the others coming over for the sleepover tonight.” Pinkie asked as she twirled her hair with her free hand.

“Hmm I think mh’big brother can drop me off at around four o'clock if that works out for you Pinkie? Seeing how it is Saturday he should be done with his chores at around Three o’clock and cleaned up within twenty minutes past three. So yeah I should be able to head over there around four o’clock. I will call the others and let them all know when to head out to your place. You just enjoy your time with Sunset you hear.” Applejack said as she pulled her boots on

“Okay any how I just wanted to know what time you all will be over here for the sleepover is all.” Pinkie said as she started to come down stairs but stopped halfway when Applejack asked her if anything was wrong.

“Sugarcube is there something you're not telling me? Is something wrong with Sunset?” Applejack asked in a flat tone.

Pinkie felt the color in her skin slowly drain out of her as she was not sure how to actually answer that question. On one hand she very much wanted to tell her friends about Sunsets diary entry that she had found earlier that day. And other the hand she wasn’t sure if she would be a good friend by spilling Sunsets secrets to the rest of her friends like that. Figuring Sunset would tell them in turn when she was ready Pinkie replied to Applejack with a hasty.  

“I have to go now A.J.” Pinkie said as she hung up her phone then made her way into her kitchen where Sunset was still sitting at the kitchen table waiting for her.

Looking at her friend Pinkie beamed a smile then motioned for her to follow her into the hallway just past the stairs leading up to her bedroom. Opening a large wood door in front of Sunset Pinkie reached inside the closet that she had lead her friend to and pulled out two large heavy winter coats. One of which she proceeded to hand over to Sunset who promptly put it on. The coat she had handed to Sunset was bright neon pink and had all sorts of part designs running up and down the sleeves of the coat. To this Pinkie also handed her a bright yellow hat with  designs of balloons on the front of it. Once Sunset put that on and Pinkie had put her coat and hat on that were of the same design as Sunsets only Pinkies was bright blue and bright green. The two of them headed outside into the freezing cold air and started walking to Sugarcube Corner. Once the two of the got to the cafe Sunset opened the front door for Pinkie and the two of them walked inside. Looking around Sunset noticed that Mr. and Mrs Cake were not to be found inside the cafe. A employee greeted them as they walked up the the counter saying to them both.

“Hello ladies what can I get for your order today”? The employee said with a big smile on his face.

Sunset looked around the cafe before saying to the employee.

“Where are Mr. and Mrs. Cake this morning I don’t see or hear them in the back of the cafe”?

“Oh they are out their little ones are both sick today so they called me in and asked if I could mind the cafe while they stay home for the week and look after the kids.” The employee said still smiling to Sunset.

“Okay well with that in mind. Can I get a large coffee with half and half, a doughnut and a pastry claw with a extra side of cherries please.” Sunset asked as she pulled out her wallet to pay for her order.

“Okay so that will be a large coffee with half and half a doughnut and a pastry claw with extra side of cherries correct?” Asked the employee as he wrong up the order on his cash box.

“Correct.”Replied Sunset drawing out some money from her wallet.

“Okay will there be anything else with that order Miss?” The employee asked.

“No and thank you very much.” Replied Sunset.

“Okay your total comes to….. 5.50 please.” The employee said.

Before Sunset could actually pay for her order Pinkie stepped up and handed the employee a twenty dollar bill saying to him.

“Keep the change.”

Sunset looked at Pinkie then at the employee before saying to Pinkie Pie with just a slight hint of frustration in her voice as she spoke to her.

“I was going to pay for that Pinkie.’

“I know silly but it is the Christmas season so there for you are not going to be paying for your own meal not while your best friend is here with you to make sure you have the best Christmas time EVER!” Pinkie said as she grinned happily to Sunset.

Sunset took her meal then sat down at a nearby table and started to drink her coffee when Pinkie started to walk towards the cafe doors. Sunset noticed this and called out to her before she got to the door.

“Hey uh Pinkie where are you going I thought we were going to eat breakfast here today”? Sunset said with a confused look on her face.

“We are going to eat here today silly I just have to run across the street real quick and pick up something that I forgot don’t worry I will be back soon. I promise.” Pinkie said as she walked out of the cafe then made her way across the street.

Sunset was a little bit confused by this as she watched her friend go across the street. Looking up at the sign of the shop she saw her friend wander into the sign said in big red letters over the shop that Pinkie had disappeared into.

‘Canterlot Jewelry.’

Sunset took a sip of her coffee as she thought to herself while she watched Pinkie come back out a few moments latter and stuff something into her coat pocket.

“I wonder what she wanted to pick up in that jewelry store across the street?” Sunset thought to herself as she sipped her coffee.

A few moments latter Pinkie came back to the cafe and ordered her own drink and food. Once she had paid for it and had received it from the shops employee. She brought it over to were Sunset was sitting and sat down in front of her at the opposite end of the table that Sunset was sitting at. Sunset looked at her then at back across the street and quirked an eyebrow at Pinkie when she returned her gaze from the shop across the street to Pinkie again. Pinkie noticed this and very quickly said to her friend.

“Oh uh, just a little something that I needed to pick up today is all. Now as for the sleepover the others are planning to be by my home around four o’clock today. Is that going to be ok with you Sunset?” Pinkie asked as she tried to change the subject to keep her friend from guessing the real reason she had gone to the shop across the street.

Sunset really didn’t by that answer and looked at her friend expectantly. Pinkie trying to find some way of turning her friends attention away from the fact that she had picked up Sunsets gifts. Almost right in front of her quickly said to Sunset as she reached out and grabbed her coffee holding it in her hands to began to slurp it down.  

“Hey you uh, want to go.... oh I don’t know... maybe go see a movie today while we wait for the rest our friends to show up at my place?” Pinkie said as she gulped down some of her coffee.

Sunset looked at her then picked up her own cup and also took a sip of her own coffee before answering.

“Sure I was kind of thinking of seeing that new one with oh what the heck is his name? Uh the one with the guy with the blue hair and green eyebrows, who always yells “yah man” in each of his movies?” Sunset said laying a finger on her chin as she tried to figure out the name of the movie she was thinking.

Pinkie knew right away which movie her friend was talking about and exclaimed out in a very excited voice to her friend which made Sunset jump a bit.

“YOU MEAN BULK HORSE AND THE SPACE PIRATES” Pinkie exclaimed so excitedly that Sunset almost fell out of her chair at the sheer noise of her friend.

“Yeah that’s the one.” Sunset said with a big smile on her face as she looked at her friend.

“Of course we can go see that today! Uh what time is it?” Pinkie said looking around for a clock.

“According to my phone it is 11:15 A.M.” Sunset said as she placed her phone onto the table to show Pinkie the time of day.

As Pinkie looked at the phone then back up at Sunset, Sunset could have sworn she saw her friends hair go at least six times fluffier than what it was normally as Pinkie realized. That they had more than enough time to see the movie and be back in time to let her other friends into the house for there sleepover latter on that night. Looking at her friend Sunset said as she picked up her phone to put back into her pocket to Pinkie.

“Uh Pinkie are you alright you look a little more well uh, fluffier than normal?” Sunset said as she raised a eyebrow at her friend who was bouncing up and down like a little kid on Easter morning.

“Movie, movie, movie, movie” Is all Pinkie was able to say as she bobbed her head from right to left.

Sunset just laughed then got up and lead her bouncing friend outside of the cafe and down the street towards the movie theater. The rest of their day before the sleepover was spent laughing and giggling and generally enjoying each others company. Sunset began to think to herself as she watched her energetic friend bounced happily up and down the street.

“Maybe I don’t need to punish myself any more? Maybe I do deserve friends?” Sunset thought to herself as she reached into her outside coat pocket and rubbed the razor she had in there in between her thumb, pointer finger and middle finger tenderly.

The movie started at Twelve o’clock and it had taken them about forty-five minutes to get there. They would have been there sooner but, Pinkie had to insist on seeing everything in town as she bounced along her merry way to the theater. This act of Pinkies didn’t anger Sunset at all in fact it actually caused her to laugh so much that she was left crying from how hard she had been laughing. The movie that Sunset and Pinkie had gone to see that day had lasted about two and half hours leaving them about forty-five minutes to get home. As the two of them walked up to the house a loud car horn was heard just behind them. Applejack and the rest of the gang all pulled up in Big macs truck. As the truck pulled to a stop the girls all hopped out then thanked Big Mac as he drove off. The girls all looked at Sunset who looked at them in turn with eyes filled with love and happiness. Last night had been one of the best moments for her and now with ALL of her friends here to join in on a sleepover that was being held in her honor. She felt as if she had a chance to give up the cutting once and for all and have a decent life at last. Pinkie turned to Sunset and handed her the key to the front door of her house which Sunset took. Then she lead each of her friends inside Pinkie's house. Once everyone was inside the house Sunset closed the door knowing that tonight would be even better than last night was. It was time for her to have some real fun and have a real sleepover.
