Pulling into his driveway Mr. Macpherson put the car into park looking at the clock on the dashboard he saw it was five thirty six in the evening. Reaching over to his door console he pressed the unlock button getting out of the car. Thinking he had unlocked the back passenger side door as well and forgetting about the child safety locks he headed towards the house.

“Let’s see keys, wallet cell phone” he muttered to himself, “yeah I didn’t forget anything”

Opening the foyer closet he was hit with a nearly overpowering smell of rotten bird seed. Grimencing he shook his head, “I wish I had taken care of this stuff yesterday like I said I was going to” he thought, “man this stuff reeks” Shortly being followed by Fluttershy who also forgot about the child safety locks.

“Dad did you remember to take out that old bird seed like you had promised mom two weeks ago” He heard Fluttershy ask, getting to the front door she opened it adding “I don’t want Sunset to be offended by that foul smell that stuff has caused” she sniffed the air frowning giving her father a flat look of disappointment., “by the smell of things I can see you didn’t do it”.

“You’re right honey I forgot ...again” he replied “I’ll take care of this in a just a little bit” giving her a sheepish grin he finished, “I promise to take care of it today.''

Knowing her father's promise to take care of the bird seed really meant he would let it go for another two weeks Fluttershy decided action was clearly called for. Placing a hand over her nose Fluttershy took a hold of a trash can located at the back of the foyer dragging it outside and towards the curb she shook her head. “I can’t believe dad didn’t take care of this” she muttered to herself adding, “well at least it is taken care of now” Heading back towards the house she stopped next to the car noticing Sunset was still in the car “Why isn’t she getting out” she thought, “I better see what’s going on”. knocking on the back left passenger window she said out loud, “Why are you still in the car Sunset”?

“The door is stuck” she replied, “I can’t” watching her struggle to open the door Fluttershy giggled softly hoping Sunset wouldn’t notice, “ugh, get this silly door open”. She heard Sunset finish. “Come on open up you silly door”.

“Ok hold on” Fluttershy said, placing her hand on the door handle, opening the door for Sunset she finished “there now you can step out”.

“I can’t believe I got stuck in your car Fluttershy” Shaking her head Sunset grabbed her backpack from the back seat groaning in irritation she grumbled under her breath, “stupid car”.

“Hey now it’s not the cars’ fault you couldn’t get the door open” she heard Fluttershy begin just above a soft whisper, “if anything or anyone is actually at fault here its my father for not opening the door for you and I too am ...at fault as well because I didn’t tell you about the child safety locks”.

“Why did your father put those child locks on your families car Fluttershy I mean your not a little kid?”

“First my father didn’t put them onto the car Sunset they have always been there” Fluttershy replied, “and second well you see three years ago my little brother tried to jump out of the car while it was still moving.” Getting up to the house with Sunset in tow Fluttershy opened the door, adding, “So since then dad has used them and every now and then he forgets to unlock them”.

Realizing her mistake and the error made by both of them Sunset began to laugh hearing her laugh Fluttershy joined in. Following Fluttershy into her house Sunset watched her open the foyer closet the pungent smell from the rotten bird seed quickly filled Sunsets nostrils. Setting her backpack down next to the door she coughed, trying hard to hide her disgust.

“By the Centaurion guards” she thought, “what is that foul smell?!”

Noticing Sunset was covering her nose with her hand Fluttershy offered her a sheepish grin gently laying her hands on Sunsets shoulders. Looking into Fluttershy’s eyes Sunset sighed resigning herself to deal with the foul smell coming from Fluttershy's foyer closet. Taking a breath she watched Fluttershy enter the fetid room Sunset shook her head.

“I can’t believe dad didn’t air this out let alone clean it out when he had the chance” Fluttershy muttered “well no matter, I guess what is done is well ...done”.

Wanting to be a polite guest Sunset kept quiet about it guessing Fluttershy already knew about it. Following Fluttershy into the foyer, she watched her take her boots off placing them onto a boot mat near the back. Kneeling Sunset began to untie her right boot stopping half way down the boot shaft standing back up a look of concern showed on her face.

“Uh, F-Fluttershy you umm, more than likely don’t want me to take off my boots”.

“Oh, why’s that Sunset?” she replied with a puzzled look.

“Trust me Fluttershy” Sunset replied sternly “you really don’t want me to take my boots off”.

Leaning against the wall of the foyer Sunset folded her arms over her chest, letting out a hard sigh. Looking away the look of concern she had a few seconds ago became a look of shame. Feeling soft warm hands gently pressing on her shoulders she looked back locking eyes with Fluttershy.

“I hope she doesn’t get too upset with me for doing this” Fluttershy thought offering Sunset a warm smile she knelt untying Sunsets left boot before Sunset could protest Fluttershy moved to Sunsets right boot untying it. “I can’t believe how soft and subtle her leg feels in my hand” she continued to think placing both of her hands behind Sunsets right leg.”

“I can do this by myself Fluttershy”. Sunset said with slight irritation in her voice. “Why am I enjoying the sensation of her hands around my leg?” Sunset began to think. Out loud she added, “This is causing me to become rather ...nervous Fluttershy.” Feeling Fluttershy’s warm soft hand against her calf Sunset gulped closing her eyes she began to tremble “Besides, I really don’t want to upset your parents who might not like the idea you doing this”.

Ignoring her words Fluttershy gently lifted Sunset right leg out of her boot quickly followed by her left leg. Once Sunset was standing in the foyer without her boots on Fluttershy picked up Sunset’s leather boots placing them on a boot mat located a few feet from the foyer door. Taking Sunset by her hand she led her downstairs to the laundry room and bathroom.

“This is our downstairs bathroom and laundry room Sunset” leading her into the laundry and shower room she added, “here you will find everything you need to take a warm relaxing shower and to do your laundry”.

“Uh, o-ok” Sunset replied clearly a little nervous, thinking to herself she thought, “why is she being so nice to me none of this makes any sense?”

Looking around Sunset saw a shower with sliding curtain, toilet, mirrored cabinet, linen closet and clothing rack hanging on the way above a washing and drying machine. Letting go of Sunset’s hand Fluttershy headed out of the room and around the corner into an adjacent room returning with a folding screen a few seconds later. Placing it in the middle of the room she opened it and gestured towards a wall mounted retractable clothing rack.

“You go behind the folding screen and place everything you are currently wearing on the folding rack then hop into the shower”. turning to face her, she added, “I will take your coat and give it to my mother so she can sew and repair it for you” heading towards the door she stopped adding, “I’ll also go get you some warm clothing to wear tonight while you do your laundry”.

“Alright” she replied stepping behind the changing screen and thinking it best to not go into too much detail about her life before she got to Equestria she continued, “I am not sure what type of soap to use for my leather coat Fluttershy though I do know how to wash my shirt and mini skirt”

“You’re joking right? Sunset you do know you can’t put leather into a washing machine” Fluttershy asked clearly confused “Why would you want to wreck such a nice looking coat as this Sunset?”

“Wreck my coat? Fluttershy I don’t want to wreck it I only want to clean it” Sunset replied “Besides I am sure that my coat has gotten rather dirty over the last two months so it needs to be cleaned”

“Well you won’t get any arguments out of me about that Sunset”. taking Sunsets coat from the top of the changing screen Fluttershy looked it over thinking, “wow, I can’t believe how badly damaged her coat is, mom might not be able to repair this like I thought” seeing two large long tares in the back of it and several rips on both sleeves she sighed. “Sunset” Fluttershy said out loud, “I have a few things to take care before I help you with your laundry” She watched further as Sunset tossed her shirt and mini skirt over the folding rack next to the shower. “I’ll be back in a little bit”.

“Ok Fluttershy” she replied. Looking at the shower itself she saw it had one single knob instead of three knobs completely unsure how to turn it on, she added, “Hey wait before you go can you tell me how I am supposed to turn on your shower Fluttershy?”

“Oh, you um, turn the nozzle to the left and pull it out that should turn it on,” she replied, “Then you turn the nozzle located above the faucet to the left or right depending on how hot or cold you want the water to be”.

Sliding the shower curtain to one side and doing as instructed Sunset turned it on and waited for a few minutes before sticking her hand into the shower to test the water. Feeling that the water wasn’t the right temperature she took a seat on the toilet. A few minutes went by before she stood up again testing the water a second time seeing it was still a bit too cold to the touch she frowned in irritation. Becoming rather impatient she turned the knob as far right as she could, hoping the water would heat up faster. Finally after what seemed like forever the water began to warm up breathing in the warm steam coming from the shower Sunset sat back down allowing herself to relax a bit.

“This feels nice” she thought closing her eyes she let herself fall into trance light state “I wonder if Fluttershy ever does this?”

“Sunset I was wondering something?” She heard Fluttershy ask, her eyes snapped open breaking her out of her relaxed trance rolling her eyes Sunset listened as Fluttershy added, “Why don’t you know how to turn on a shower?”

“Fluttershy I know how to turn on a shower!” Sunset snapped grimencing she sighed “I was just unsure how to turn on this type of shower is all I didn’t mean to snap at you like that.”

“It’s alright Sunset” She replied “I understand I asked a foolish question”.

“No you didn’t ask a ‘foolish question’ Fluttershy there was no reason for me to snap at you” getting up Sunset stepped into the shower adding,“The style of showers that I am used to using” she closed the curtain adding, “are the ones with three knobs instead of one knob” taking a bar of soap from the shelf inside the shower she began to wash herself down, “can you tell me why you didn’t get upset for how badly my socks and for that matter how badly my clothing smells.” putting the soap away she rinsed off finishing, “I mean with me being homeless it's not like I can actually afford to pay anyone to wash my clothing”.

“I don’t understand Sunset how can you be homeless when you have only been here for about six months?” wanting to know more Fluttershy added, “and for that matter why didn’t you ask for help before now? I am sure you could have gotten help before now”.

“Four months prior to my current situation I had a home with a rather nice couple through them I learned much about your food, movies, places of interest, how to cook and how do laundry”. Closing her eyes Sunset thought of those that took her in during her first four months in the human world, “I have only been living on the streets for the past two months the point is Fluttershy” she bitterly added picking up a conditioner bottle, “I haven’t always been homeless” lathering up some of the conditioner she continued, “As for the for the part of why I didn’t ask for help until now I really highly doubt anyone would have actually wanted to help me”. Washing out the conditioner and wanting to change the subject, she added, “I am sorry but, I really don’t feel like talking about this any further Fluttershy.” picking up the soap again she washed herself down a second time adding, “I am sorry that my clothing stinks Fluttershy”.

“Sunset” Fluttershy began taking Sunsets clothing and placing them into the washing machine“I have smelled way more foul things than your clothing” Turning to leave she added, “I’m going to take care of my stuff now Sunset I’ll be back in a little bit. Oh, Sunset what size pants do you wear?”

“I must be a fool for coming here with her” she thought Sunset let the warm water wash down her body, “I know this won’t last nothing ever does.” Turning around she laid her back against the wall of the shower sliding down she pulled her legs close to her chest she began to sob. “By Centauria I wish there was someone there for me that actually wanted to take care of ...me”. Laying her head into her arms she continued, “That is why when Fluttershy is asleep I’ll simply leave” calming down a bit she shut off the water wiping a hand over her eyes “no one wanted me around then and no one wants me around now” sniffing she finished, “not ...ever”.

Not hearing Sunsets words or the showering haven been turned off Fluttershy entered an adjacent room next to the room Sunset was in. She smiled seeing her little rabbit nibbling on some hay in his cage. Setting Sunsets coat down next to the cage she knelt watching her little rabbit hop about inside his cage. The cage sat on a small wooden table in the center of the room Angel Bunny playfully hopped about minding his own business and paying little attention to Fluttershy.

“Alright hold on Angel Bunny I’ll let you out in a second” Fluttershy softly said adding, “then you and I can go upstairs and give mom Sunset’s coat”.

Opening his cage she took him out petting his soft fury head carrying him in her arms upstairs remembering to take Sunsets coat with her. Getting upstairs a few minutes later Fluttershy carried Angel Bunny and Sunsets coat up to her room setting both down on her bed. Hearing music coming from her little brothers room located across from her own she stepped into the hallway finding her little brother in his room playing video games.

“Come on, come on just a little further” Zephyr said rapidly pressing the buttons on his controller watching him for a few seconds she shook her head, “Woohoo” she listened to him yell having scored on his game “It's about time I got past that level”

Deciding to leave it up to her parents to deal with him she returned to her own room walking up to her dresser and opening it. Taking out an unopened pink shirt with a red and yellow sun printed on the front of it she turned around watching Angel Bunny as he hopped off the bed landing in a laundry basket next to her bed. Setting the unopened packaged down she took out another unopened pajama package setting it on top of the first one. Closing the drawer she picked up both packages taking a seat on her bed placing both packages next to her before picking up Angel Bunny placing him next to her.

“I hope I was wrong about Sunset not being able to see in color”she whispered gently petting her rabbit as he sniffed the edges of both packages she added, “but I don’t see how I could be wrong about that seeing as how she got both the color of the shirt I gave her and the color of my skirt wrong”. looking over the pajamas again she muttered to herself out loud, “these should fit Sunset nicely and I think this yellow and red sun pattern will look so cute on her as well.''

Picking up the pajamas, Sunsets coat, and her rabbit Fluttershy placed all three into her laundry basket carrying all three downstairs and into the kitchen. Finding her mother sitting at the kitchen table drinking a mug of tea Fluttershy set the basket down letting Angel Bunny hop out of the basket onto the kitchen floor much to her mother's annoyance. Mrs McPherson stood up trying hard not to step on Angel Bunny in the process setting her mug of tea down on the table.

“Honestly honey why can’t you take Angel Rabbit outside where he belongs,” her mother scolded adding “A house is no place for a rabbit”.

“Angel Bunny” she corrected getting an annoyed look for her mother in return clearing her throat Fluttershy continued, “Mom he doesn’t like being out in the cold” hugging Angel Bunny she added, “besides I could never just kick him out of our house,” Ending the hug she gave Angel Bunny she added “why that would be the same as kicking him out of my heart and I can’t do that” standing up while Angel Bunny started to hop all over the kitchen floor Fluttershy gave her mother a soft smile finishing, “Sunset is downstairs taking her shower I have her coat here and I was hoping you could look at it for me”.

Much to Fluttershy’s shock Angel Bunny hopped upon the kitchen counter knocking over several pots and pans. Quickly placing Sunset’s coat over one of the five kitchen table chairs Fluttershy offered her mother a very sheepish grin. Hopping off the counter Fluttershy watched her rabbit hop over to the kitchen table on one of the five chairs and on top it knocking over her mother's tea mug spilling the hot tea all over the floor. Thrusting her hand out with her index finger pointed straight out Mrs. McPherson pointed to Angel Bunny who Fluttershy quickly scooped up in her arms.

“Fluttershy” her mother yelped in anger “get that rabbit out of my kitchen before I turn him into a pie!” her eyes widened in shock collapsing a hand over her mouth she turned away adding, “I-I am sorry honey please forgive me”

“It's alright mom I forgive you” Fluttershy said hugging Angel Bunny, “And Angel Bunny forgives you too” Looking at him she continued “Angel you didn’t mean to knock over those pots and pans or to spill mom’s tea did you sweety?” Setting him down she followed him into the living room and down the hallway toward her father's office getting to the door she opened it watching him scamper inside hiding under a large bookshelf. “I doubt you’ll get into trouble if you stay here Angel Bunny” she muttered shutting the door and returning to the kitchen a few seconds later picking up Sunsets coat she showed it to her mother, “Sunsets coat needs to be fixed I was hoping you could look at it for me mom”.

“Well let's see what I am working with here honey” Taking the coat from her daughter Mrs. Macperson held it up to the light getting a really good look at it Fluttershy’s mother exclaimed, “Wow”, turning it around she held it up to the light fully looking it over “Fluttershy, honey what happened to this coat?”

“Her coat got like that during the Fall Formal three days ago” finished cleaning up the mess made by her rabbit Fluttershy held the soiled cloth over the sink wringing it out. “I kinda already told Sunset that you might be able to sew it and perhaps fix it for her”

“Honey I don’t know if I can fix this but I will at least try my best” she replied setting it back upon the back of the chair she added, “Listen I’ll see what I can do you run along now sweetheart, oh before you take off I noticed your altar could use some cleaning but there is no rush for this”.

“Alright thanks, mom” Fluttershy said heading outside towards her altar getting up to it she saw it was covered in green algae “Yeesh if Angelic saw this she would throw a fit I know mother lets this stuff slide every now and then but this is truly a mess.” Looking up towards the sky Fluttershy saw a few grey clouds forming in the distance “I should also do a cleansing as well before I clean this off besides I don’t think it will rain tonight.” Pressing her hand to her chest she gripped a circular piece of metal hidden under her shirt whispering, “Thokarae, Goddess Of Animals, and Kozyja, Goddess Of Nature please send me a sign that I am indeed doing the right thing with Sunset Shimmer. And if it's not too much trouble could you also show Zephyr that you are indeed real?” Heading back inside she thought, “Perhaps Sunset would like to help me clean off my altar after all it might actually be fun for her to help with this”.

Getting back downstairs a few minutes later Fluttershy headed into the other room and opened a closet finding several packs of hay, pellets and a mini refrigerator plugged into the wall. Opening it she took out a bag of fresh veggies. “Lets see I got his hay, pellets and veggies” she began muttering to herself “now all I need is fresh water for his dish” setting everything on top of the cage she began to head towards the laundry room stopping in her tracks, “Oh wait Sunset won’t like it if I just burst in and she is standing there without her clothing on” heading upstairs she finished, “I better get Angel a new water dish from upstairs”.

“Fluttershy” she heard her little brother call out from the top of the steps “Fluttershy come quick you have got to come see this”.

“Oh, what does that little pygmy twerp want now?!” she exclaimed, remembering her guest and her manners she let out a soft quick breath before adding, “Well I might as well go see what Zypher wants”.

Getting back upstairs a few seconds later she saw Zephyr holding in his right hand a bag of chips quirking an eyebrow she folded her arms over her chest. Looking at his bag of chips he offered her a repentant smile quickly taking Fluttershy by the hand Zephyr led his sister to the living room window. Pointing out to the side yard he grinned wondering what he was grinning about Fluttershy peered out the window seeing seven white ravens all hopping about the yard. Each one was enjoying the bird seed left in the feeders located a few feet from the window a few splashed about in several bird baths.

“Thank you so much for showing this to me Zephyr” she squealed with excitement hugging him tightly, “Do you have any idea what this means little brother?”

“No I don’t and I don’t care” he scoffed wrinkling his nose he added “I showed you them because I thought you liked birds besides what's the big deal their just ravens” suddenly receiving a hug from Fluttershy he whined, “H-hey let go” struggling to free himself from his sisters embrace he finished, “Aw come on Fluttershy let go already”.

“It means that the goddesses and gods are smiling upon us Zephyr and it also means that I am doing something right and it also means that they are real”. Fluttershy began ending the hug she added, “I asked the goddesses Thokarae, Goddess Of Animals, and Kozyja, Goddess Of Nature to send me a sign showing me that I was doing something right with Sunset and they did”. Counting all seven ravens one by one she finished, “there are seven of them out there and all of them are white which means Thokarae and her twin sister Kozyja are giving me seven chances to do right by Sunset Shimmer”.

“Yeah well whatever Fluttershy” Zephyr scoffed “look it's bad enough that mom wants you to study that Druid stuff but do you have to get me involved as well?” turning to face her he added half mockingly “besides Fluttershy you and I both know that these goddesses and gods you and mom both enjoy speaking of are nothing more than a fantasy”. Taking a seat on the couch and much to his sister irritation he continued, “now take Zel from my latest video game if these goddesses and gods were real and I am totally saying they are not but if they were real then that is for sure a goddesses I would like to meet”.

“Zephyr!” his sister exclaimed her eyes widened in shocked disbelief from her little brothers behavior, “how dare you insult them in that manner especially in my presence!” Turning to head back downstairs she added, “I will be downstairs with Sunset please try to refrain from being the pest that you are”.

“Hmph” he scoffed rolling his eyes, “I’m not a pest I’m just ...different”.

“Zephyr stop bugging your sister” their mother called out from the kitchen “and Fluttershy”

“Yes mom” she replied.

“Your brother has the right to say and think what he wants whether it is in your presence or not the goddesses and gods will judge his words accordly” coming around the corner with a concerned look on her face Mrs. Macpherson added, “There for honey it is not your place to judge your brother for his actions or words that he has spoken to you” gently pulling her daughter into a warm hug she finished, “do you understand honey?”

“Yes mom I do” she replied gratefully returning the hug “I’ll be downstairs with Sunset for a little bit we’ll come up before dinner”. Ending the hug Fluttershy headed downstairs “now I need to finish cleaning out Angels cage and get him a fresh water dish”. Heading into the kitchen Fluttershy got her dish then headed back down stairs. “Baby brothers who needs them?” she scoffed placing the pajamas next to the laundry room door “I sure don’t need Zephyr he always makes me so-so mad”.

Entering the room she had been in only moments ago Fluttershy set to work cleaning out Angel Bunny’s cage. Placing fresh hay into his cage and the fresh clean water dish complete with fresh cold water for him to drink. Standing up she headed towards the steps stopping when she noticed Angel Bunny was at the top of the stairs worried for his safety she tried to catch him only to completely miss. Falling to her rear she watched him land on her head, hop off and hop through a hole in the wall leading into the laundry room.

“Oh, no Sunset is going throw a fit for sure” stopping in front of the laundry room door she gulped, “I do hope Sunset won’t be upset with me for doing this”.

“Well I better get up there is little to no sense in moping about” Sunset thought “at least not on this cold hard floor with my head in my arms.” Having emotionally pulled herself together enough to stand up she slid the shower curtain open stepping out of the shower still dripping wet. “Though I did enjoy that shower” she muttered closing her eyes she folded her arms over her chest adding, “I should have asked Fluttershy to bring down that shirt she gave me” suddenly feeling something soft and fuzzy brush against her toes her eyes snapped open, “What the heck was that?!” she screamed, putting a hand over her heart she looked down seeing Angel Bunny hopping about the floor. “Oh, umm hi there” she finished, “how did you get in here”

Hearing the laundry room door open and close she poked her head around the folding screen watching Fluttershy turn on the washer. Ducking back behind the folding screen she laughed to herself feeling a little foolish having been scared by a simple creature like a bunny. Still dripping wet and feeling the cold air on her bare skin she began to shiver, her teeth began to clatter the sound quickly caught Fluttershy’s attention.

“Sunset there are fresh clean towels in the linen closet behind you” She heard Fluttershy call out to her “feel free to use one or two so you can dry off” holding up the pajamas for her to take Fluttershy finished, “Here are the warm clothes I promised you I hope you don’t mind the color pink Sunset I don’t have any other color of these to give you”.

“I don't mind pink at all” she replied, muttering to herself she added, "even though I suffer from achromatopsia so I can't see anything in color at all" taking out a towel from the linen closet Sunset dried off looking up she took the pajamas from Fluttershy quickly getting dressed, “Ah yes, that is much better,” she muttered looking herself over coming out from behind the folding screen and wanting to know a little bit more Fluttershy’s pet Sunset added, “Fluttershy what is your rabbits name?” coming out from behind the changing screen she finished, “h-how do I lo-look?”

“You look absolutely alluring Sunset” she replied looking her over Fluttershy watched her spin around giving a noticeable whistle. “I think those clothes suit you nicely” Watching Sunset take a seat on the cold hard floor she took a seat across from her adding “My bunnies name is Angel Bunny and he is a Blanc De Hotot” feeling him sniff her hand she gently reached out softly stroking his fury head, “when your ready would you like to hold him for a little bit Sunset”?

Blinking in disbelief Sunset gulped clearly showing signs she was completely unsure what to do or say. Gently picking up her bunny Fluttershy carefully held him in her arms kneeling in front of Sunset who looked slightly worried Fluttershy placed her pet into Sunsets arms. Softly slowly stroking his fury body Fluttershy sat back down watching Sunset hold him clearly unsure what to do next.

“What do I do now Fluttershy”? Sunset asked.

“Well Sunset” she replied “you can either hold him like you are doing now or you can gently stroke his fur with your hand allowing the warmth of his little body to fill you with good feelings and happy thoughts”.

“Like this?” Sunset stroked Angel Bunnies fury body making sure to hold him gently but firmly in her arms keeping his rump on her right forearm and his head against her left shoulder. “Am I doing this right Fluttershy? I feel like I am going to drop him and I don’t want to do that”.

“Yes you are doing fine.” watching Sunset gently stroke Angel Bunnies furry body she added, “Doesn’t it feel good to be lulled into a relaxing state of mind”.

“Yes it does feel good to hold a bunny in my arms” unsure of what to say next she added, “what do I say” looking down she began to mutter to herself, “oh, come on Sunset there has to be something you can say to her to show her you are grateful to hold this bunny in your arms” Catching Fluttershy's attention Sunset looked up her eyes widened knowing Fluttershy had heard every word she said slightly gulping she continued, “Fluttershy Kirimvoāīē Bin'ühva” receiving a very confused look from Fluttershy she finished, “Did I say something wrong Fluttershy?”

Blinking a couple of times Fluttershy slightly tilted her head to the right trying to figure out what Sunset had just said to her. Pressing a finger to her own lips she tapped her lower lip chewing on her lower lip and index finger. Looking down she closed her eyes reminding herself that Sunset had spoken to her about being able to speak more than one language.

“Sunset I know you said to me something about being able to speak other languages” finally looking back up she finished, “but can you please tell me what you were trying to say to me a few moments ago”.

“Oh I um-er I mean” realizing her mistake Sunset looked away trying hard not to show her shame and disesteem, feeling a soft hand under her chin she looked back seeing only friendship showing in Fluttershy’s eyes. “I was trying” Sunset began “to tell how you much I appreciate you allowing me to hold your severvent”

“Severvent? Sunset, Angel Bunny is my friend not my servant” seeing a look of perplexed concern and confusion Fluttershy gently laid her hand on Sunsets right knee adding, “Tell you what, how about you teach me your native language and in return I’ll help you to become better at knowing what too actually say to someone and how to say it”

“Ok that sounds like it might work” Sunset replied “and Fluttershy I am sorry I thought Angel Bunny was a servant”

“That’s alright I know you are struggling right now and I forgive you” Fluttershy replied. Standing up Fluttershy motioned for Sunset to join her bringing her and Angel Bunny into the room adjacent to the laundry room hearing the washer buzzer go off she quickly added, “You and Angel Bunny stay here while I transfer your clothing into the dryer I’ll be right back in just a few seconds”. Heading out of the room Fluttershy returned a few minutes later opening the closet she took out a small bag of carrots handing one to Sunset.“Here we can use these as treats for Ang---” Thinking Fluttershy was offering her something to eat Sunset took the carrot in her hands taking a bite out of it “Did you just eat that carrot Sunset?” Fluttershy asked “please tell me you didn’t just eat that carrot”.

“Yes I did it was really good” Sunset replied, “I thought you were offering me something to eat so I ate it” hearing her own stomach churn, grumble and growl she laid a hand over her stomach adding, “Sorry Fluttershy I was thinking with my stomach and not with my head”.

“Its alright Sunset” handing her another carrot she continued, “now this one is for Angel Bunny alright?” taking a seat on the warm soft carpeted floor she added, “Now Sunset instead of saying what you said only a few minutes ago, why don’t you say ‘Thank you’ that is what is normally said when someone wants to show their appreciation towards someone else or for receiving something” clearing her throat she added, “case in point” gesturing towards Sunsets hand and the carrot she finished, “the carrot”.

“What? Oh, um” looking at the carrot Sunset added, “Uh, th-thank you for the um food”. Receiving an expectant look from Fluttershy she continued, “Thank you for the uh, er-umm clothing and shower” realizing she had forgotten something but unsure what it was she looked down finishing,“I’m never going to get this to work am I Fluttershy?”

“Yes you will Sunset you just have to work on it a little bit” wanting to know a little bit more about her Fluttershy added, “So what does Kiri mvo āīē Bin' ühva mean anyways Sunset?”

Hearing Fluttershy accurately speak the words she herself had said only a few seconds ago Sunset decided to start teaching Fluttershy her native language. “It means ‘I and your servant are forever one’ the word ‘Kiri’ means ‘I’, in my natative language, the word ‘mvo’ means ‘and your’ likewise the word ‘aie’ means ‘servant’. Just as the word ‘bin’ means ‘one’ and the last word ‘uhva’ means ‘forever’ so when you put it all together, it sounds like this ‘Kirimvo āīēBin' ühva’. So what you are saying to someone when you say this to them is that you are offering to serve them forever as you are now that person's personal severant” looking at the carrot she added, “now you try Fluttershy” holding up the carrot she continued “vi^sut”

“Ok but before I try it I want you to know Sunset that I would never offer to become someone else’s servant because to me at least that sounds an awful like slaverly” Looking at the carrot in Sunsets hand Fluttershy replied, “carrot” receiving a nod she added, “so the word vi^sut means carrot am I correct in this Sunset?”

Choosing to let Fluttershy’s words to her go Sunset replied, “Yes, however, if you drop ‘ut’ at the end of that word it becomes something else entirely so if I were to say to you ‘vi^s’ I would be instead saying ‘fork’ rather than carrot”. Sunset thought to herself, “I am so glad she is not in the land that I am from she wouldn’t last five minutes there she would be sent to the coliseum and that would be that for her”.

“Okay let me try” taking a breath Fluttershy closed her eyes slowly opening them she continued, “Vi^s”

“Very good Fluttershy” Sunset replied. “I really like being able to teach you my native language.” pressing a finger to her chin, she continued, “I was wondering Fluttershy can you tell me how to respond to someone else when they have said the word ‘thank you’ to me?” watching Angel Bunny hop out of the room and into the short hallway she added, “I still find it hard to believe he isn’t a servant”.

“Trust me Sunset my bunny is no ones servant” Fluttershy added, “and in this world you would say ‘you're welcome’ or ‘you are welcome’ getting up she finished, “Sunset you really do need to understand that Angel Bunny is my friend perhaps my only ...friend”

“Whoa wait a minute Fluttershy” she replied her eyes widened in shock, standing up herself Sunset added, “what about Rainbow Dash, Applejack Sower, Rarity Gentry and Pinkamena Diane Pie I thought they were your friends”.

“While they are my friends now Sunset” Fluttershy replied heading out into the hallway to check on Angel Bunny she continued, “I am afraid to tell you this but not one of them was there for me when” looking down she finished, “well you know”.

“Yeah ...I ...know”. Finding Angel Bunny just past the laundry room door Sunset knelt picking him giving him a hug “I really don’t deserve to be in your home or to be anywhere near you”

“Let’s face it Sunset you were pretty awful to me” taking a seat on the floor with Angel Bunny still in Sunsets arms Fluttershy watched Sunset sit down in front of her, Fluttershy added, “I didn’t like it when you bullied me Sunset. It made me feel less of a person and more like a coward all those times you said mean things to me I wanted to say mean things back”. Swallowing hard and fighting back her tears she finished, “The reason I didn’t is because I knew that if I did, I wouldn’t be able to come back from that.''

“And all the while you kept backing down I kept enjoying it seeing you cower before me made me feel better about ...myself” Setting Angel Bunny down Sunset fought back her tears letting out a languished sigh of frustration and anger at her behavior before and during the Fall Formal.

“Fluttershy I don’t know how else to atone for what I did to you other than to beg your forgiveness even though I know I am not worthy of a second chance”.

Looking at Sunsets face and into her eyes Fluttershy saw a look of pure profound sadness and regret carved on her face and in her eyes. Watching her Sunset stand back up Fluttershy quickly got up as well following Sunset into the laundry room she watched her check her laundry clearly fighting back her tears. Wanting to help her Fluttershy laid her hands on Sunsets shoulders pulling her into a very much needed warm hug.

“Hey don’t worry about it Sunset” Fluttershy spoke softly into Sunsets ear just above a whisper, “You are more than on your way to gaining new friends and becoming a new, better and much happier person”.

Holding her dry clothing in her hands Sunset returned the hug feeling safe and secure in Fluttershy’s arms. Ending the hug Sunset sniffed folding up her laundry heading back into the room she sat back down on the floor with Angel Bunny hopping into her lap.

“I don’t feel as if I am ‘on the way to gaining new friends and becoming a new, better and much happier person’ in fact I feel like I am always going to be like this” Sunset said placing her laundry down next to her, trying hard to contain her tears she added, “I wish I knew why Twilight just left me in this world instead of taking me back to Equestria but the answer is obvious I was clearly exiled”.

“That will be quite enough of that Sunset Shimmer!” Flutteshy rebuked trying to hide her anger towards Sunset for having put herself down again “Listen to me it doesn’t matter what Twilight has or has not done. What does matter is what you do with your second chance that you are right now this very second being given” scooting over to her Fluttershy looked directly into Sunsets eyes seeing Sunsets eyes were becoming teary Fluttershy added, “So tell me Sunset Shimmer are you going to waste this second chance by spending all your time moping about feeling sorry for yourself or are you actually going to get off your rear and do something about this?''

“I don’t know” she replied, pulling her legs in close to her chest Sunset folded her arms over her knees continuing, “it just hurts knowing that she sent Twilight to retrieve the crown and didn’t bother coming herself” feeling her jaw beginning to tremble Sunset continued as best as she could, “I wanted it to be her to come after me so I could finally tell her how hurt I was when she turned her back on me all I wanted was----” her words trailed off wiping a hand over her eyes she calmed down a bit she finished, “I’m being selfish, here I am in your house as your guest and all I do is pour my heart out to you”.

“It’s alright Sunset I really don’t mind at all” Fluttershy replied, adding, “but you shouldn’t put yourself down like that it doesn’t do you any good at all”.

Wanting to change the subject before she could no longer contain her tears Sunset looked around for anything to talk about all she was able to find was Angel Bunny. Watching him hop out of her lap and sprawl across the floor with his hind legs facing Fluttershy and his little head facing her she gently caressed his soft fury head.

“I am a little confused about one thing though Fluttershy why doesn’t Angel Bunny have any antlers?” she asked slowly petting Angel Bunny “I was also wondering if all bunnies are this soft and as well tempered as Angel Bunny is?”

“Antlers? Sunset” Fluttershy giggled “he’s a rabbit not a deer.” watching Sunset slowly softly pet Angel Bunny she continued, “Hares and rabbits are both in a family called Leporidae, but they’re separate species. Both animals have long ears, powerful back legs, and a divided upper lip. However, hares are larger than rabbits. And, instead of creating burrows, hares make nests in the grass. The exposed nesting sites of hares hint at another big difference—when they’re born” a bit confused by her first question Fluttershy continued, “Sunset why did you want to know why Angel Bunny doesn’t have antlers?”

“I asked because where I am from most rabbits have antlers sticking out of their heads at least the ones that wound up on the---” her voice trailed off thinking it best to not push the issue any further and not wanting to upset Fluttershy, she changed the subject, “So um, ca-can go get something to eat I am getting rather hungry”.

“Sure thing Sunset” Getting up Fluttershy held her hand out to Sunset taking Fluttershy’s soft, warm hand into her own Sunset let Angel Bunny hop out of her arms and around the corner. “come on Sunset let's go see if dad has ordered dinner yet”. Heading towards the stairs Fluttershy suddenly stopped causing Sunset to bump into her, “Oh, wait I forgot about Angel Bunny I can’t let him stay down here without supervision”.

Wanting to help and show she had started to change her behavior Sunset turned around as Angel Bunny hopped into the laundry room. Rolling her eyes she sighed following him into the laundry room watching him hopping about the floor. Angel Bunny hopped towards the shower sniffing the edge of it then hopped back towards Sunset stopping half way between her and the shower.

“Hey you” she said kneeling, “Fluttershy said you can’t be down here without supervision so that means you need to come upstairs with the two of us” Holding her arms out she watched him tentatively hop towards her “There you go little guy” she added gently wrapping her arms around him, “see I won’t hurt you”.

Picking him up she carried him out of the laundry room placing him into Fluttershy’s arms softly petting his head. Both girls upon getting upstairs found Fluttershy’s parents and little brother watching Tv setting Angel Bunny down Fluttershy sat down next to him petting him. Picking up the Tv remote Mr. Machperson pressed the mute button much to Zephyr’s annoyance.

“Sunset” she heard Fluttershy begin “I know you have already met my father and you met my mother at school two days ago” gesturing towards her little brother Fluttershy continued,“the little lump on the couch there is my little brother ...Zephyr” Leaning in she whispered in Sunset’s ear, “don’t pay any attention to my little brother I don’t”.

Taking a seat on the couch Fluttershy patted the open space between her and Zephyr. Unsure what to do Sunset tentatively sat down

“Now that you both are up here I will order our food” turning his attention to Sunset he added, “Sunset would you like to watch a movie or game show?”

“Uh, ok” she replied remembering Fluttershy’s words to her about ‘you’re welcome and ‘thank you’ she continued, “I would like to say thank you for allowing me into your home tonight”.

“Sunset dear you are very welcome” Fluttershy’s mother began “we really do appreciate having you here so please feel free to come over as much as you want”.

“Yes my wife is right Sunset please feel free to call our home your home” Mr. Machperson chimed in adding, “I am sure if Fluttershy has anything to say about it your going to feel right at home here” Taking out his phone he added, “I know you Fluttershy want a vegan pizza as you are a vegan” turning his attention to Sunset he added, “Sunset what would you like to have?”

“Huh?” Half heartedly pointing to herself she added, “Wh-who me?” feeling Fluttershy nudge her side she finished, “well that is I um-er- I don’t know”.

“Yes dear” Mrs. Macperson pleasantly stated, “What would you like on your pizza?”

“Oh, I um, er-is it alright if I get a veggie pizza I don’t eat meat oh, is it also alright if there are no nuts on it as I am allergic to nuts?” swallowing hard she thought to herself, “I can’t believe it Fluttershy’s parents are actually offering to buy food for me?”

“Of course it is alright Sunset” Mr. Macperson replied. “And don’t worry about there being any nuts on your pizza Sunset for you see pizza doesn’t normally come with nuts at least not that I know of that is”.

“Hello this Cinnamon Goll with Pizza Buy n’go how may I take your order?”

“This is Onyx McPherson I would like to order five large pizzas please.” Fluttershy’s father began “One will be a vegan pizza, the second will have Canuckistan bacon and pineapple.” Picking up the remote Mr. Macperson set it into an end table next to him taking out his wifes knitting supplies handing them to her he continued, “the third one will be stuffed crust with black olives, onions, green peppers, and extra cheese. The fourth one will have sausage, green olives and jalapenos the last pizza will be a veggie pizza”. Taking out his credit card he finished, “Do you need my credit card number ma’am?”

“No sir I don’t need your credit card number I see you have ordered from us many times before”

“Oh, ok” he replied, adding “how much will it all come to?”

“The total comes to ninety four dollars and fifty cents that also includes the tip to the driver which is twenty dollars and a ten dollar delevery fee.” hearing groaning on his end of the phone she finished, “Oh, I forgot there is also a thirty dollar gas fee your order will be ready in about forty five minutes and will be delivered within twenty five minutes after that.''

Shaking his head, Mr. McPherson hung up his phone letting out a rough sigh feeling his wife jab his side he quickly remembered his manners. Taking the Tv remote out from the end table he un-muted the Tv grumbling under his breath another jab to his ribs from his wife quickly ended any further protest he might have had.

“Everything OK dad” Fluttershy asked clearly concerned “is there anything I can do to help”

“N-no honey everything is alright” glancing outside he added, “hey how about you show Sunset our backyard I am sure she would love to see it”. Seeing Sunset didn’t have any slippers on he added, “oh, wait before you go out there let me get something for Sunset to wear on her feet while you both are out there”. Getting up he headed into his office returning a few minutes with a four white shoe boxes placing them in front of Sunset he finished, “my wife and I buy these in gross in case any of our daughters uh, furry friends decides to play with them”

Opening the first box Sunset saw a pair of pink fuzzy slippers taking them out she looked them over smiling. Seeing they were size twelve in teen age girls she put them on standing up she walked around a bit making sure they were comfortable enough for her feet. Sitting back down and hearing Fluttershy clear her throat Sunset blinked confused by Fluttershy's action she quickly gave Fluttershy a passing glance.

“Uh Sunset the slippers” Fluttershy leaned forward whispering in Sunsets ear adding, “you forgot to thank my father for giving you those slippers”.

“Oh, your right” Sunset whispered back quickly turning her attention fully to Mr. McPherson she stood up clearing her throat, “Thank you sir for the slippers they are most comfortable”. Sitting back down Sunset let out a quick short sigh, thinking, “I’ll need to work on that”.

Getting up her self Fluttershy took Sunsets hand into her own leading her through the kitten into out onto the deck and into the backyard. Looking around Sunset saw a fenced in yard with several bird houses, bird feeders and bird baths lining most of the outer rim of the backyard. Walking around a bit she saw several oak, ash, weeping willow and spruce trees throughout Fluttershy’s backyard. Getting close to one of the oak trees she saw it had several ornate carvings in its bark looking at the other trees she saw each one had ornate ornaments hanging from the branches.

“This is a very beautiful backyard Fluttershy” Sunset said watching several birds fly down from the trees and land in one of the birdbaths noticing two stone pillars with a stone slab across them pointing to it, she added, “Hey Fluttershy what’s that stone bench for if I may ask”?

“Stone bench” she replied, looking in the direction that Sunset was pointing in she continued, “Oh this?” still fuming by her little brothers insulting words to her she thought “I’ll show that little twerp that the goddesses and gods are indeed real” turning to face Sunset out loud Fluttershy added, “It's not a bench Sunset though now that you mention it, I can see how you might confuse it for one, it's actually my altar.” walking up to it she laid her hand over the smooth marble surface finishing, “I need to wash and clean it before I pray to the goddesses and gods for giving my family a bountiful meal for our dinner tonight and for sending you to me”.

“I don’t understand Fluttershy what did you mean by sending ‘you to me’ that really doesn’t make much sense”

“Oh, after we all headed home the night of the Fall Formal I came out here and prayed for a fiend for you to show you the way to friendship.” listening to the birds chirp and ravens caw she continued, “I didn’t know that the goddesses and gods would actually send you to me and that I would be the one to become your friend but I am glad they did because you clearly need a friend” remembering Sunsets words to earlier in the week she added, “though we are only acquaintances right now I look very much forward to the day that I can call you ‘my friend’ Sunset.” leaning and whispering into Sunsets ear she finished, “I am more than just a little certain Sunset that day when I can call you my friend is indeed coming soon”.

Not wanting to hurt Fluttershy’s feelings Sunset gulped recalling her very painful past before she had met Princess Celestia or had ever gone to Equestria. Deciding not to talk about it she instead approached the alater looking it over she saw two Obsidian Stone candlesticks each one with a green candle in it. She watched Fluttershy begin to walk around the altar in a clockwise motion with both her hands held above her head her eyes closed.

“To all the goddesses and gods I know my altar is not clean but I humbly ask that you look past that.” feeling a soft breeze blowing through her hair she continued, “I hear by, call upon the goddess Danu to guide me in all things pertaining to life and teacher of knowledge come and cleans my alatar.” bowing her head she continued, “I call upon the ancient goddesses and gods to thank them for all that they have given my family and for sending Sunset to me”.

“Uh, Fluttershy what you doing?'' she asked. “And what is a goddess or god?”

Hearing a door open and close behind her Sunset heard Mrs. McPherson whisper, “Shh” turning around she looked into Mrs. McPherson's eyes, “please Sunset don’t interrupt Fluttershy while she is cleansing her sacred altar a druid must never be interrupted while doing this for it could go very badly for them and for the one that interrupts them” Stepping next to her Mrs. McPherson finished, “She should be done cleansing the altar in just a few minutes after she is done then you can ask her your questions”.

“Alright and I am sorry I didn’t mean to be rude to her or to your family”. Sunset replied.

“It’s alright dear you didn’t know and there is no need to apologize you did absolutely nothing wrong” turning to head back inside Mrs. McPherson glanced upwards seeing the sky above beginning to darken a storm was clearly coming, “I do wish Fluttershy had chosen a better day” she added “to cleanse her altar it looks like it is going to rain”.

Looking up herself Sunset saw the same darkening sky that Mrs. McPherson had seen looking back down she watched Fluttershy for a few more minutes. Fluttershy stood perfectly silent with her arms held out in front of her before bringing her hands together with a loud clap. Taking three steps backwards Fluttershy turned around her eyes opened a pleasant smile showed on her soft angelic face letting out a few breaths she walked over to Sunset nodding to her.

“I heard what you asked Sunset while I was cleansing my altar I am sorry that I wasn’t able to stop what I was doing in order to answer your questions”. Heading towards her house she stopped just at the threshold of the doorway turning to face Sunset she added, “now to answer your first question Sunset, ‘what are you doing?’. That is simple I was sending my energy or soul into my altar and asking for the goddesses and gods to whom I pray each day to send me someone that will make sure my altar remains pure of good energy. ” Entering the house she with Sunset in tow continued, “to answer your second question ‘what is a goddess or god’ well that is going to be a little harder to explain. A goddess or god is a female and or male deity. Goddesses and gods alike have been linked with virtues such as beauty, love, motherhood, fatherhood and fertility. They have also been associated with ideas such as war, creation, and death. In some faiths, a sacred female or male figure holds a central place in religious prayer and worship” Entering the kitchen she finished, “would you like to help me clean and wash my altar Sunset?”

“Sure thing but there is something I would like to ask you before we start Fluttershy” she replied following Fluttershy into the house and into the kitchen she added, “your father said that you are something called a ‘vegan’ and your mother said that you are a ‘Druid’ so my question is which one are you Fluttershy? Druid or Vegan?”

Trying hard to contain her laughter Fluttershy took out a bucket, dish detergent, latex rubber gloves and two sponges. Setting the bucket into the sink she turned on the faucet placing the detergent on the counter next to the sink. Moving over to a cabinet next to the sink she took out two towels handing them to Sunset.

“Sunset” she began trying not to giggle though as Sunset observed Fluttershy was clearly failing. “you and I are going to have the most cherished friendship”. Getting a rather confused look from Sunset clearing her throat, Fluttershy continued, “alright the word ‘vegan’ means I don’t eat animal products of any kind this includes dairy products such as cheese, milk, butter or anything made from animals”. Turning to face Sunset and receiving a nod from her Fluttershy further continued, “Alright the word ‘Druid’ refers to what religion I study and there are many different ones to choose from.” adding some soap to the hot water and putting away the bottle she finished, “ however I find that practicing an earth based religion that teaches that all life is sacred is the right choice for me though it might not be the right choice for other people”.

“I think I understand Fluttershy though I might come to you in a few days from now with some questions” Sunset replied adding, “uh, if that is alright with you Fluttershy”.

“Of course that is alright with me besides Sunset how else are you supposed to learn?” Fluttershy replied looking at everything she took out from the kitchen cabinet she added, “let’s see we have a bucket, clean hot soapy water, spongages, rubber gloves and towels I think we have everything we need to clean my altar”.

Taking the towels from Fluttershy, Sunset followed her back outside several birds chirped in the trees as the wind began to pick up a bit. Fluttershy placed the bucket in front of her altar looking over her altar once more before placing a hand to her own chest gripping the hidden piece of metal under her shirt. Taking it out she revealed it was a tree of life necklace closing her eyes Fluttershy breathed in the cool night air opening her eyes she smiled to Sunset.

“Thank you for helping with this Sunset”.

“You are welcome Fluttershy” handing her the towels she added, “did I say that correctly Fluttershy?” receiving a confirming nod she finished, “what is the first thing we need to do to clean your altar Fluttershy?”

“Now in order to clean the altar I need to take the candles off of it and then we need to scrub every inch of it after that we need to dry the altar with the towels.” Taking the candles off the altar she added, “Sunset once we are done doing this can you teach more of your native language?”

“Yeah I’ll teach you some more once we are done,” she replied, dipping her sponge into the warm soapy water wringing it out a bit she finished, “which side do you want me to start on Fluttershy?”

“Let me take the candles off of the altar first then you can take the right side and I’ll take the left” she replied picking up the candles and setting them down in front of the altar, she added, “once the altar is clean and dried off I’ll make an offering to the goddesses and gods to thank them for giving us a bountiful meal tonight”.

Pressing her sponge to the left side of the altar she began to wash it with Sunset following suit. Looking up while she and Fluttershy both washed the altar Sunset saw the clouds above looked even more foreboding than before. Quickly looking back down she finished scrubbing and cleaning the altar standing up a few minutes later she took one of the towels hanging in the trees placing it to the wet stone. Fluttershy having gotten done with her side of the altar also stood up taking the second towel from the trees pressing it to the stone as well. Ten minutes passed without incident as both girls dried the altar.

“Alright now that your altar is washed, cleaned and dried off is there anything else you need help with Fluttershy”? She asked clearly wanting to do more for her Sunset added “Perhaps I could make you something to eat or drink

“Hmm” putting her towel back onto the tree to dry she pressed a finger to her chin, “uh not that I know of later on tonight and hopefully” looking up she looked at the darkening sky above adding, “before it rains I’ll make an offering to the goddesses and gods to thank them for sending my family the bountiful meal that you and I are about to enjoy”.

“Fluttershy, Sunset” both girls heard Mrs. Macperson call to them from the sliding door “the pizza will be here in just a few minutes better come in and wash up”.

“Alright mom” Fluttershy called back. “Well we should head inside now Sunset”. Getting up to the sliding door she added, “I do have a question for you”

“Sure what is it Fluttershy” Sunset replied.

“You said that you are allergic to peanuts but I have not seen you wear a medical bracelet” opening the door and stepping inside with Sunset following she added, “did you lose yours or have you never actually had one before until now?”

“I don’t have the bits to buy one of those Fluttershy” she replied, adding, “due to this I never actually had one”. Getting inside Sunset and Fluttershy both washed up at the kitchen sink, “as much as I would like to get one as well as any medication that by the horn of Centrix forbid should anything actually happen to me I simply can’t”. Both girls took a seat on the couch with Mrs. Macperson taking Sunsets coat into her sewing room wanting to know if she could help Sunset got up following Fluttershy’s mother into the sewing room. “Umm, I w-was wondering if you needed any h-help with my uh, coat?”

Laying Sunsets coat out on a sewing board in front of her Mrs. Macpherson pleasantly smiled to Sunset. “Actually yes, Sunset I could use your help” she replied, adding “can you open the third drawer from the cabinet behind you and take out the leather and cloth scraps for me?” taking up her sewing needle she tapped it a couple of times against the board.

“Sure thing Mrs. Macperson” Sunset replied, doing as instructed Sunset turned around opening the third drawer to a cabinet she found behind her. “Let’s see” she muttered to herself, “leather and cloth straps, hmmm” her gaze fell to a small plastic bag at the bottom of the drawer picking it up she turned handing it to Fluttershy's mother, “is this what you need Mrs. Macpherson?”

“Yes dear these will do lovely” she replied taking the bag from Sunset adding, “now all I need to do is measure the rips and see what I can do here.''

Taking up her measuring tape Fluttershy’s mother measured each rip and tear jotting down each one on a piece of paper. “Alright that should do it, yes I think that will do rather nicely.” she muttered to herself, adding, “now for the hard part”.

“Oh, what’s that?” Sunset asked clearly interested.

“I have to move everything back into place and if I miss a space or something doesn't line up it could ruin your coat” she replied. “Now let’s take care of the biggest hole first shall we?”

Using the dull end of her needle, Mrs. Macperson positioned the torn leather of Sunsets coat back into place as best as she could. Making sure to apply a piece of scotch tape over the tear to hold the leather in position.“there we go that should hopefully hold long enough for me to get a new piece of leather onto this”.

“Wow that’s really cool” Sunset chimed in adding, “do you think I could perhaps learn how to do this Mrs. Macpherson?”

“I don’t see why not Sunset dear” Turning Sunsets leather coat inside out Fluttershy’s mother quickly located the area of the tear from the interior. “This actually doesn’t look as bad as I thought it did” Checking to see if Sunsets coat was lined, Mrs. Macperson traced the lining with her finger to the beginning of the first intal tear. “Alright now I just have to mark that spot and I should be able to start adding in the patches” .

“Is there anything else I can do to help you with this in the meantime” Sunset asked, hearing a soft cough behind her she turned around seeing Fluttershy standing behind her. “Oh, Fluttershy I was umm”.

Smiling Fluttershy took Sunsets hands into her own locking eyes with her, “you were doing exactly what I thought you were going to be doing Sunset” she said, adding, “being helpful, being polite and taking an interest in something other than yourself” giving Sunset a hug, “you see Sunset, you are on your way to becoming a different person”. Whispering into Sunsets ear and hoping her mother wouldn’t hear her Fluttershy finished, “it doesn’t matter that you are homeless I will always be there for you I promise”.

“Thank you Fl-Fluttershy” She replied returning the hug.

“Why don’t you two run along and go watch a movie with Zephyr while I finish this” Fluttershy’s mother chimed in, “Sunset I’ll leave your coat on the couch when it is done alright?” Sunset nodded to Fluttershy’s mother, Mrs. Macperson watched both girls head back out into the living room, “That poor girl she needs a home and someone to take care of her.''

Shutting the door Mrs. McPherson took out her cell phone dialing a number she held it to her ear waiting for the person she called to pick up. Returning to her work she waited for a few minutes before the person she had called picked up.

“Hello this is Rosy Peddle”

“Yes hello Rosy” she replied, “this is Dahlia McPherson I am calling in regards to a friend of my daughter’s her name is Sun---”

“Sunset Shimmer”Rosy replied interrupting Mrs. McPherson adding, “yes, I am already aware of her Dahlia” she finished, “I got a call earlier this week about her from a police officer by the name of Starknight Justice.”

“Oh, then you must already be aware that she is apparently homeless?” Mrs. Macpherson asked.

“Yes, I am well aware of that, therefore I will be meeting with her at CHS on Monday at three I’ll be calling her principal tomorrow morning” wanting to know a little more on her end Rosy added, “Do you know if anyone has told Sunset yet that I’ll be meeting with her on Monday?”

“I honestly don’t know my daughter hasn’t said anything”. Mrs. Macperson added, “do you want me to ask either Sunset or Fluttershy about this Rosy?”

“No don’t do that! Dahlia listen to me carefully please. if you flat out ask Sunset if she is aware that I will be calling upon her she might react badly to it and there for refuse my help.”Feeling the need to explain herself Rosy continued, “These things need to be handled carefully push a child to hard and they shut down refusing to cooperate. However, if you hold your hand out and offer your help with sincere kindness to that child they will accept your help and not turn away from you”.

“Alright thank you Rosy I’ll keep that in mind” Mrs. Macperson added, “I need to go now I’ll talk with you later thank you for the information”. Hanging up she continued to work on Sunsets coat for another few minutes thinking to herself, “I do hope Rosy can help Sunset find a good home perhaps Rosy can even make it possible for Sunset to stay here with us.”

Entering the living room a few minutes after her phone call with Rosy Peddle, Mrs. McPherson found Fluttershy sitting to Sunsets right on the couch watching a movie. Zephyr sat next to Fluttershy on her right amusing himself by poking his sister in her ribs just below her chest. Fluttershy did her best to ignore him clearly showing signs she was very quickly losing her patience with her little brother. Not wanting a fight to break out between her two children, especially in front of a guest Mrs. Macperson took Zephyr by the arm leading him into the kitchen.

“Aw mom” he whined, “I was just having a bit of fun with Fluttershy”

“No! Young man what you were doing was annoying your sister and you know it would have lead to a fight” she scolded “now we have a guest in our home one whom I hope will stay here for as long as possible now I fully expect you to apologize to your sister for you’re behavior.”

“But mom Fluttershy won’t let me watch Ape Ponies and Star Command’

“I don’t care what Fluttershy will or will not let you do young man you do as I tell you too and you apologize for your behavior”. Seeing her husband, Sunset and Fluttershy enter the kitchen with Mr. Macperson carrying all five pizza boxes in his hands she added, “Honey do you want to add to this?”

“I wasn’t there to see it myself” turning his attention to his son Mr. Macpehson added, “however Zephyr I do agree fully with your mother you need to apologize for whatever it is that you did” frowning he crossed his arms over his chest finishing, “and you need to do it now young man”

“Oh, alright I’ll tell her that I am sorry” he replied clearly not happy about it, watching Fluttershy and Sunset both enter the kitchen he added, “Fluttershy I am sorry I was bothering you”

“I accept your apology Zephyr” she replied, Getting out five plates and setting them on the table next to the pizza boxes Mr. Macperson pursed his lips together, trying not to show his irritation towards his son in front of Sunset. Taking out five cups Fluttershy set them down next to the pizza boxes filling four out of the five with soda looking to Sunset she smiled finishing, “Sunset would you like soda, juice or milk with your pizza tonight?” Fluttershy asked

“Thank you” remembering Fluttershy’s lesson about thanking someone she added, “Soda would be nice Fluttershy”. Receiving a cup full of soda from Fluttershy, Sunset headed into the living room taking a seat on the couch “thank you all for allowing me to eat with you and your family”.

“You are most welcome Sunset dear” Fluttershy’s mother replied picking up the remote she added, “what type of movie would you like to watch tonight Sunset?”

“Umm,” putting a finger to her chin, she added, “how about one about a mistry such as trying to find a hidden treasure or sanctorium”.

Turning the tv on Mrs. Macpherson clicked through the movie guide before selecting a movie that was rated G. A storm began to brew outside Zephyr turned his attention towards the living room window watching the storm pick up. Getting up he continued to watch the storm seeing all the birds and animals run for shelter he chuckled to himself catching his father's attention.

“What’s so funny son” His father asked having heard his son’s laughter and wanting to know what caused Zephyr to laugh. “looks like a storm is coming dear we better get ready to head downstairs in case it gets worse”.

“Alright” Mrs. Macperson replied as her husband returned to his seat on the couch “I think there might be a flash light in the kitchen though I am not sure I’ll check in a little bit now honey come sit back down and enjoy the show I am sure the storm will pass quickly and there won’t really be any need for me to get that flashlight.”

Lightning flashed violently across the sky thick heavy rain began to fall trying to ignore the storm brewing outside Fluttershy did her best to enjoy the show. Watching the program play out she took a sip of her soda setting it down hearing a loud thunderclap over head she jumped in fright nearly spilling her soda on Sunset. Giving her a confused look Sunset gently took Fluttershy’s cup from her setting it back down on the Tv tray in front of herself.

“Hey you alright?” she asked seeing Fluttershy was clearly not alright she added “it's only thunder”.

Hearing another loud boom overhead Fluttershy shivered clearly showing signs she was anything but alright another loud thunderclap boomed over head. The power much to Fluttershy’s building anxiety went out causing her to let out a scream quickly but gently Sunset placed her arms around Fluttershy’s body pulling her into a much needed warm, safe hug. Fluttershy’s father got up again grumbling under his breath almost knocking over his Tv tray Mrs. Macperson also got up heading as best as she could into the kitchen.

“Alright nobody move we’ll take care of this” he called out, “I’ll go see if I can get the power back on”

“I’ll get a flashlight out of the kitchen Zephyr please stay away from the windows I mean it young man.” Fluttershy’s mother called out from the darkness in the kitchen “Sunset dear stay with Fluttershy we don’t want you to get hurt while we get the power back on”

“Aw mom I want to go out and see the storm” Zephyr replied, “besides I doubt anything will actually happen”.

“Zephyr you heard mom stay put!” Fluttershsy cried out still being held warmly and safely in Sunsets arms “Mom and dad should have the power back on soon ….I hope”.

Grouping around as best as she could while she stumbled through the darkness in the kitchen her fingers finally found what she was looking for. Opening a dawar Fluttershy’s mother took out a crank handle style flashlight turning it on she froze in fear as a lightning bolt suddenly struck one of the trees next to her daughters altar.

“Mom is everything alright” Fluttershy called from the living room.

“Y-yes dear stay with Sunset I’ll be back in just a few minutes honey” she replied.

Thinking she had seen something or someone moving around in their backyard Mrs. Macperson opened the kitchen sliding door stepping out into the storm. Shining the flashlight towards the downed tree she headed towards it to her shock she saw her daughters altar was tipped over with everything strewn across the lawn. The heavy rain had already put out most of the fire caused by lightning bolt, though it was clear that that tree could not be saved shaking her head she closed her eyes silently

“I know the storm is starting to get bad but I doubt it could do this” she muttered shining the light in every direction her eyes caught something in the brownish-green grass. “What the heck” she exclaimed her eyes widened in shock her irises shrank in fear “this can not be”. Seeing several footprints leading away from Fluttershy’s altar each one having clearly been burned into the grass, and muddy ground. “Why would she show herself now after all these years?” It was as if the very gates of hell itself had opened letting loose all of the devils fury into the footprints that lead away from the altar.“why would Fluttershy call upon her” heading back inside she took one last look to her damaged backyard finishing, “It doesn’t make sense”.

Closing the sliding door Mrs. Macperson took a towel from the cabinet drying her hair before reentering the living room finding her son standing right in front of the living room window. Placing her hands on her hips she frowned, turning her attention to Sunset she saw Sunset holding Fluttershy in her arms both cuddled up on the couch. Walking over to her son as a loud clap of thunder caused Zephyr to squeal with excitement Fluttershy’s mother paid little attention to her sons enthuseasum about the storm. Hearing the thunder boom outside Fluttershy buried her face into Sunsets shoulder desperately trying to hide from the storm knowing in her mind it was a futile effort.

“Young man I thought I made it clear that you where not to go near the windows!” she scolded catching his and Fluttershy’s attention, “now get away from there while I tend to your sister”.

“But I want to watch the storm mom” he whined in protest adding, “besides I think the storm is almost done I don’t see what the big deal is”.

“The big deal is” Mr. Macperson called out from his office having heard the conversation taking place in the living room “Zephyr is that you could get hurt if something comes flying through that window now do as your mother tells you and sit back down on the couch!”

Not wanting to get into further trouble Zephyr sat down folding his arms over his chest, letting out a noticeable angry grunt. Taking a seat next to her daughter Mrs. Macperson hugged Fluttershy wanting to give them what she felt was some much needed space Sunset let go of Fluttershy.

“It might be best for me to leave them alone for a bit” Sunset thought, “After all, I am not apart of this family and therefore I have no right to assume that I ever will be apart of any family” deciding to look out the window she sighed continuing to think, “Which is why when Fluttershy and her family go to bed which I hope will be soon I’ll leave and head back to my shack to clean it out then I’ll find a new place to call ….home”.

Standing up, she walked over to the living room window keeping a relatively safe distance from it watching the storm through the window she closed her eyes. Her mind began to wander back to a time long before she had ever met Princess Celestia, Twilight and her friends or had ever heard of Equestria. Zephyr got up just as the power came back on heading into the kitchen he got himself a glass of water returning to the couch a few minutes later.

“Wow” Sunset said turning around, “I haven’t been in a storm like this since I was ten years old” seeing Fluttershy’s father entering the living room she finished, “do you think we will be alright upstairs now? I does seem like the storm is starting to pass us by sir I mean you did say something needing to head into the lower level if it gets worse”

“Yes Sunset dear I think we will be fine” sitting back down on the couch he hugged Fluttershy adding, “Don’t worry sweetie we didn’t leave you and Sunset is right here the storm will be over soon honey I promise”. Hearing another loud thunderclap he glanced up finishing, “I know it sounds big and scary but I promise you honey that the storm won’t hurt you Fluttershy so there is no need to be afraid”.

“I know dad it’s just that I really don’t like storms,” she replied, thinking “besides it's not the storm that frightens me”.

“Fluttershy honey I am sorry to tell you this” She heard her mother begin, “but your altar somehow tipped over I think it was caused by the strong wind”. Thinking it best not to tell Fluttershy what she had seen outside in the backyard Mrs. Macperson added, “tomorrow when you get home from school and you get your homework done I’ll help you clean up the mess and help you do another cleansing” giving her daughter a warm hug she further added, “you should also know honey that one of our trees was hit by lightning though the rain put the fire out the tree itself was split in two, thus it can not be saved”. Ending the hug she finished, “so we will have to find another home for the birdhouses that you were going to set up next week”.

Beginning to feel a bit better Fluttershy sniffed letting her mother wipe away her tears Sunset stood nearby silently wishing she had someone to comfort her like Fluttershy had with her parents. Taking a step back from the window she sighed returning to the couch sitting down she looked down hoping Fluttershy’s family wouldn’t see her despair. Taking up another slice of her pizza Sunset bit into it feeling Fluttershy’s hand coming to rest on her own she swallowed giving Fluttershy a puzzled look.

“How about we take these into my father office Sunset and spend some time with Angel Bunny?” standing up with Sunsets hand held warmly in her own she added, “I am sure he would like that very much”.

“Um don’t you think your family might get upset with me if I spend some alone time with you Fluttershy?” she replied.

“Sunset” turning her attention to Fluttershy’s father she looked down listening to him added, “that is nonsense our home is your home and if you want to spend some alone time with Fluttershy you may do so you don’t need to worry about anything we trust you dear”.

Looking up and locking eyes with his she stammered on her words, “Yo-you trust m-me but sir you do-don’t even know m-me.” slowly looking back down she finished “How c-can you trust somepon-er-I mean someone if you don’t really know them all that well we after all just met a few days ago”.

“It doesn’t matter” he gently replied closing Sunsets pizza box he handed it to Fluttershy who took it in her free hand turning his attention back to Sunset he finished, “you go on now and spend as much time as you want with Fluttershy dear later on tonight I’ll set up an air mattress in her room so you can get a good night's rest in the morning I’ll drive you and her to school”.

Hearing his words Sunset stood up, letting out a noticeable grunt facepalming herself she began to look around. Watching Sunset head into the kitchen and return to the living room clearly looking for something Fluttershy raised her hands stepping in front of her stopping Sunset in her tracks. Wanting to help Sunset out Fluttershy gently took Sunsets hands into her own softly saying, “Sunset what is wrong? You look troubled”.

“I am worried about something is all Fluttershy” Taking a step back Sunset removed her hands from Fluttershy's soft angelic grasp adding, “you see while I was enjoying watching Tv and eating dinner with your family I completely forgot to do my ...homework which is due first thing tomorrow morning” Fluttershy watched Sunset head back into kitchen listening to her add, “I already have two weeks worth of detention I don’t need any more added to that so it is best that I find my backpack and get started on my homework right away.''

“Oh, your backpack Sunset is still downstairs in front of the foyer closet right where you left it” she replied, adding, “I’ll get my homework and then we both can get our homework done while we spend time with Angel Bunny how does that sound to you Sunset?”

“That sounds good to me,” she replied heading downstairs to the foyer finding her backpack sitting right where she had left it she unzipped it taking out two books setting them down next to her bag. “Let’s see I have my English Literature and my History report now I just need to find is my notebook and pencil” she muttered to herself rummaging through her backpack she frowned, “Hey Fluttershy” she called out, “do you by chance have a spare notebook and pencil that I can borrow just for tonight?”

“Yes I do” Fluttershy replied carrying Sunsets pizza and her own in her hands towards her father's office watching Sunset come upstairs Fluttershy led her to the office door. “Well here we are” opening the door she added, “Oh, Angel Bunny is under one of the book shelves but he’ll come out if we are quiet”.

Looking around Sunset saw Mr. Macperson’s office had twelve large oak bookshelves lining the walls each one filled with many different books on many different subjects. In one corner sat a desk with a computer on top of it next to it sat two mini refrigerators looking to her right Sunset saw several family portraits hanging on the wall. Walking up to them she examined one of them the picture showed Fluttershy’s mother holding a baby girl with a tuft of hair sticking out from an infant warmer. Looking at the other ones one picture caught Sunsets attention examining it further she saw it was a picture of Fluttershy wearing a hospital gown and sitting in a bed with an IV in her left arm. Examining the picture further Sunset saw Fluttershy though she was very young in the photo she had bandages covering most of her chest, part of her head and part of her right shoulder. A thick cast could be seen covering Fluttershy’s right arm.

“Fluttershy” Sunset wanting to know more about the picture added, “why are you in a hospital gown in this picture? And furthermore what happened to you the day this was taken?”

“Oh, I was in the hospital due to being in a car accident when I was seven,” she replied. “I had been thrown from the front seat of my families car and was very badly hurt that is why I am covered in bandages and have that cast on my arm in that photo”.

“And who is the person in this photo next to you?” Sunset asked gesturing towards the picture she added, “she looks like a …nice person” having noticed how cold and lifeless the woman's eyes were she thought, “Nice being a more of a polite thing to say she actually looks really like she is dead inside and very angry”.

“Ah, yes that person is my mothers friend her name is Angelic” taking up her homework while Sunset started her own homework she continued, “she performed a blood transfusion on me which saved my life she checks in on me from time to time” taking a sip of her soda setting the can down next to her she finished, “she also helped me to get Angel Bunny”.

Both girls returned to their homework Angel Bunny came out from under his hiding spot hopping up to Sunset much to her surprise he plopped down into her lap. Sprawling his little legs over her thighs and shins reaching out Sunset gently stroked his soft fury head silently returning to her homework. A few minutes went by before Sunset reached up taking a slice of her pizza taking a bit of it she closed her eyes savoring the gooey, greasy taste of it.

“There that should do it for the last problem” Fluttershy muttered.

“Alright I think that should cover everything about the ‘Allies and Alponia war’ of nineteen fourty three” looking over her homework she added, “so my history assignment should now be done”.

Yawning a half hour had passed without incident Sunset stretched cracking her back, neck and shoulders back into place Fluttershy hearing the sounds of Sunsets bones popping grimaced. Looking down Sunset saw Angel Bunny had fallen asleep on her legs his little head rest just past her left hip above the rim line to her pants. Giving him a soft pat on his head Sunset waited for Fluttershy to finish her own homework reaching out with her free hand Sunset picked up her can of soda taking a sip. Setting it down she leaned against the wall closing her eyes.

“Sunset” she heard Fluttershy ask, “are you ...a sleep?”

“No just resting is all” she replied opening her eyes she added, “why? Whats up?”

“I was hoping you would be willing to teach more of your native language I really do enjoy learning after all and I think it would be fun to be able to speak to you in your native language”. Setting her homework aside with the intent of taking it out to the kitchen table later that night so her father could make corrections to it Fluttershy added. “I was also kinda hoping you would tell me a little bit about where you're from that is if you don’t mind”.

“Alright” Sunset replied pressing her back against the wall, she added, “now I am not sure how much about me Princess Twilight told you or chose not to tell you so what I will say is this”. Gently petting Angel Bunny she continued, “Twilight and I both come from a world called Equeti however that is as far as my, uh similarities with her extends beyond that I would rather not say where I am actually from”.

“I understand Sunset” she replied, adding, “please continue”.

“In this world you have all sorts of creatures, none of which I have yet seen in this world but I have read about them” taking a breath she closed her eyes, letting her thoughts shift to a time after she had met Princess Celestia and had stolen Twilight's crown sighing she further added, “your myths and legends speak highly of dragons, minotaurs and giants these creatures while only myth and legend here are very real in the world that I come from”. Looking at her pizza box she finished, “if it's ok with you Fluttershy I’d like to eat the rest of this tomorrow”

“ I have no problem with that Sunset” she replied, adding, “do you think that perhaps at one point in time these creatures actually existed in this world Sunset?” hearing Sunset yawn Fluttershy quickly changed the subject, “oh you must be tired come on let's go see if dad has set up the air mattress yet so you can get some sleep.''

“Alri-right” Sunset said through another yawn blinking a couple of times she finished, “and as for your question Fluttershy I am not sure if dragons, Minotaur's and giants ever did exist in this world.”

Reaching over to Sunsets lap Fluttershy gently took Angel Bunny from her Sunset stood up picking up own her homework and both pizza boxes. Fluttershy remembering her own homework and Sunsets empty soda can set Angel Bunny down picking up her own homework and Sunsets soda can placing the can into a trashcan next to her father's desk. Opening the door Sunset and Fluttershy stepped out into the hallway both girls headed into the living room. Fluttershy’s father was just finishing inflating an air mattress seeing both Sunset and Fluttershy standing in the living room he gave them both a happy, pleasant smile. Fluttershy’s mother came into the living room from the kitchen carrying a cup of tea with her setting it down on one of the Tv trays.

“You look tired Sunset” she said “if you follow Fluttershy she’ll take you to her room where you can get a proper night's sleep” taking the pizza boxes from Sunsets hands she finished, “I’ll place these into the refrigerator and you can enjoy them when you wake up”.

“A-alright” Sunset replied “thank you for letting me sleep here tonight”.

“It’s no problem at all dear” placing the air mattress into Fluttershy’s hands Mr. McPherson added, “Fluttershy please take this to your room so Sunset and you can get some much needed rest”

Sunset followed Fluttershy upstairs into her room watching her set the mattress down next to her bed looking around Fluttershy's room she smirked. Sunset watched as Fluttershy set Angel Bunny down letting him hop onto her bed as he curled up in her blanket. Fluttershy’s bed was covered with soft fluffy comforters with two big feather pillows lying against the headrest. A small vanity mirror hung on the far wall from the doorway a large double screen glass window stood at the opposite end of the room and a small walk in folding closet stood across from the vanity. A night light was plugged into the wall on the right of the vanity walking over to it Fluttershy switched it on.

“Is it alright if I help you make the bed Fluttershy?” Sunset asked gesturing towards the air mattress as Fluttershy turned around. “Oh, as for teaching your more of my native language I’d like to do that tomorrow if that is alright with you I am rather tired”

“Of course it is alright with me if you help make the bed Sunset” Fluttershy replied walking over to her closet she opened it, taking out a spare pillow, sheets and a spare blanket. “I think tomorrow after school will be perfect to learn more about your native language” placing everything onto her own bed she added, “I just need to check my schedule to see if I am doing anything with girls before hand”.

Sunset took the sheets placing them on the mattress followed by the pillow and lastly the blanket climbing into bed she laid down. Much to Angel Bunny’s irritation Fluttershy gently moved him over to the right before she climbed into bed and pulled the covers up letting out tired yet happy yawn. Laying down into her soft pillows Fluttershy closed her eyes soon falling into a deep well needed restful sleep. Sunset rolled over letting out a soft sigh feeling something soft and fury landing on her side she looked seeing Angel Bunny twitching his little nose sniffing her shoulder.

Raising the covers she whispered, “Alright little guy” watching him snuggle against her she added, “you may stay with me tonight that is until I am sure that Fluttershy is asleep and I am able to leave without causing any issues”.

Pulling the covers back over herself and making sure not to squish Angel Bunny she rested her head against the soft feathery pillow. The storm had let up quite a bit looking out the window she watched as a few remaining raindrops trickled down Fluttershy’s bedroom window. Rolling to her back Sunset placed Angel Bunny on her stomach watching his ears perk up and his nose twitch gently she stroked his soft body. Taking one last look at Fluttershy while she slept soundly in bed Sunset soon found herself falling into a much needed deep relaxing sleep.
