| 1 | "It's going to be okay Sunset." Fluttershy said in an attempt to calm her friend down. The two of them were in Sunset's home, one that seemed a bit luxurious for her. It seems the town likes people who save their world from being torn inside-out by power hungry copies of best friends. She was of course thinking about Twilight. Sunset was sitting on the edge of her couch, tapping a foot onto the hardwood floor. |
| 2 | "I know. I'm just... this is the first time since the sirens that I've seen her. I'm just nervous." Sunset said, biting on one of her knuckles. She just couldn't keep her eyes off the front door, staring meticulously at it. "Oh, but there's no reason to be nervous!" Fluttershy reassured, "After all, she's our friend. Even though it might begin to become a little confusing with two Twilights." Upon seeing Sunset's hands continue to tremble, Fluttershy realized that, as sometimes happened, her comforting only made things worse. |
| 3 | "I know, I'm just nervous, excited, scared, happy..." Sunset's hands slid up and covered her face. "Oh. Um... I'm just excited. Because we haven't seen Twilight- um, Equestria Twilight in a really long time, and it'll be fun spending time with her again." Fluttershy smiled. Sunset's eyes revealed themselves as her hands slid down. "Oh, yeah. You're right. I don't know why I'm freaking out so much. |
| 4 | This is just the first time she's visiting without having to fix our problem. I just want things to be perfect." She sighed, looking at the door again. Fluttershy nodded, "I'm glad you're starting to calm down. The most stressful thing I think we'll have to deal with is making sure Equestria Twilight and Earth Twilight don't get confused when they're both participating in a conversation." Fluttershy giggled momentarily, before turning her gaze to the tall grandfather clock. |
| 5 | "Though, I suppose she is a little late..." "I hope she's okay." Sunset's eyes grew slightly with concern. Fluttershy saw the twinkle in her eyes. It brought back a memory that was fuzzy. What did it remind Fluttershy of? A sudden jolt of realization hit Fluttershy, causing her to giggle. It reminded her of the moment Twilight's dog Spike first met Rarity. That same little twinkle. "She might be hungry. |
| 6 | Should we order pizza? Maybe take-out?" "Perhaps we should wait, and then ask Twilight what she would like." Fluttershy said, putting a comforting hand on Sunset's shoulder. "You're right, I know you're right..." Sunset smiled, tilting her head and laying it gently on the back of Fluttershy's hand. "Thanks for being here Fluttershy. I really appreciate it." "I'm sure the others would be here if they hadn't been busy." The pink haired girl replied. |
| 7 | Sunset found herself looking at the bathroom. "Would you listen for the door if I freshened up?" "Of course!" Fluttershy chirped. Leaning over and giving her friend a quick hug, Sunset gave her thanks and hopped to her feet. Scurrying into the bathroom, she closed the door and paused. Her eyes were glued to the door. She didn't know what to do next. Sunset was over thinking things. Strangely, even realizing she was over thinking wasn't helping any. |
| 8 | Her head slunked forward, hitting the door with a thunk. A startled squeak emanated from the room beyond the door. "A- Are you okay Sunset?" "Just a spider." Sunset called back. She tilted her head back and once again bonked her forehead into the door. "And another..." She continued, hitting her head yet again. "Oh... Um, that's a lot of spiders..." Fluttershy mumbled. "Don't worry, they're running scared." Sunset deadpanned, her head going limp and falling back. |
| 9 | Staring up at the ceiling. "Scared..." Fluttershy hummed, missing Sunset's obvious fib. "Spiders are really scary, aren't they?" Rolling her eyes, Sunset approached the mirror and stared into the two aqua globes gazing back at her. Leaning closer, she scanned her face methodically. First she looked at her lashes, eyebrows, cheeks, mouth, chin. Everything seemed in order. Until a faint aroma wafted into her nose. |
| 10 | She grabbed a chunk of her hair and wrapped it forward to the front of her face, inhaling the scent. Biting her lip she mumbled, "Haven't washed in over a day..." Scurrying to the door, she shouted out, "Fluttershy, how long do you think before she's here?" "Oh, well, the message said one o'clock at the earliest, and three o'clock at the latest, and it's ten after one." Fluttershy said, "So she could take almost two hours, or she might be here in five minutes." Slamming her forehead into the door again, Sunset uttered "Do you think I'll have time to shower?" "Well..." Fluttershy hummed, thinking for a moment, "I suppose if you were quick, you'll have enough time." "Okay!" Sunset beamed, pivoting around and striding to the shower. |
