Five Nights at Equestria Girls

Epilogue: New Beginning and Troubled Horizons

*Nine Months Later*

Fluttershy was sitting on the couch with Violet Night and Sasha. They were all helping Sunset Shimmer clean out her attic. She had asked for their help cleaning it out so she could work on her picture collage, which they were glad to provide. As Fluttershy pulled another box towards her, she saw Violet move a little closer to her. She smiled at her for a moment before taking the lid off the cardboard box. A cloud of dust formed as she set the top on the floor. The two girls coughed and covered their mouths, trying to avoid inhaling more of the dust. Violet let go of her shirt as her coughing fit died down.

"Man, when was the last time Sunset moved these boxes?" asked Violet Night as she rubbed a layer of dirt and dust off of her shirt sleeve.

"Probably a century ago, given how much dust these boxes have on them," replied Sasha.

"Haha, very funny, Sasha. Sunset probably just left them untouched for a few years. I wonder why she is cleaning it out now, though," said Violet Night.

Sunset Shimmer came down from the attic and set another box on the ground. Her shirt was covered in cobwebs and dust from her cleaning it. "I have been saving pictures up for a photo collage, and I was putting it off until now."

"Oh, cool." Violet Night looked at Sunset and noticed that she seemed a bit up. "Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing, really. I just saw some photos of Twilight and me together," replied Sunset Shimmer.

"You two haven't talked in a while since the fight with Springtrap. Are you doing okay, Sunset?" asked Fluttershy.

"Yeah, it just hurts to remember Twilight. Even though things didn't end super well, I still miss her a lot," said Sunset Shimmer, recalling the day she had told Twilight about the Fall Formal. "Well, I better get back to cleaning."

With that, Sunset Shimmer walked back up into the attic. Sasha pulled the box in front of her closer as she started to rummage through. She found that it was a bunch of old school assignments from a few years ago. Yet, Sasha noticed that none of them went further than four and a half years. That struck her as odd, mostly since she had seen Sunset around for a while. However, Sasha did find it weird that until about four years ago, she couldn't recall seeing the redhead around before. Just as she was about to take out a stack of old papers, there was a knock on the front door. That made all three girls stop what they were doing and look at it. Sasha looked at Violet and exchanged a worried glance with her as Fluttershy got up from the couch.

"I wonder who is here," said Fluttershy as she walked up to the front door. She opened it and saw Twilight Sparkle standing in the doorway.

"H-hey, Fluttershy. Is Sunset here?" asked Twilight Sparkle.

"Yeah, she is up in the attic right now. Do you want me to get her for you?" Fluttershy asked, curious as to why Twilight had shown up.

"Can I come in, Fluttershy?" asked Twilight Sparkle, hoping that the animal lover would let her in.

Fluttershy nodded and stepped aside. "Do you want to go up to the attic?"

"Do you think that Sunset will want me to?" asked Twilight Sparkle. "I know I didn't exactly leave things on good terms."

"Twilight." Fluttershy rested her hand on the bookworm's shoulder as she closed the front door. "Sunset still misses you, and I am sure she'd like for you to be the one to approach her."

"O-okay," said Twilight Sparkle, making her way cautiously towards the attic.

Violet Night watched as Twilight slowly approached the attic stairway. She walked up to Fluttershy, saying, "Uh, I need to talk to you for a moment."
