Cherry vs the Forgotten Friendship

chapter 6

At Cherry's house...

"So, you don't have anywhere to go and you're about to be taken away?" Michelle asked as she offered cookies, she sounded familiar with the situation.

"Yes, unfortunately." Sunset frowned.

"That is a hard knock life..." Michelle soothed. "I was almost taken away from Cherry's grandmother when the people in our neighborhood found out I was a little... Uh... Well, you know, different..."

"I understand." Sunset said as she accepted a cookie.

"So, uh, Mom, what do you suggest?" Cherry asked.

"Well, I would move in with someone who loves me more than the others friend-wise," Michelle smiled as she sipped her cup of chocolate milk. "After I graduated high school, I decided to live with your father since we became so close, and he was in love with me."

This gave the group an idea as everyone looked at Flash Sentry. Flash looked back while blushing as he bit into a heart-shaped cookie that Cherry's mother made. Patch soon used his puppy dog eyes on Flash.

"Oh, uh, heh... I... I don't know..." Flash blushed nervously.

"I can tell you really like this girl..." Michelle leaned in with a smirk and batted her eyelashes.

Flash soon gave in after about five seconds. "Well... Okay..." he then said.

"That's a good boy..." Michelle smiled. "Take an extra cookie."

They now knew what to do.

"I just hope my little brother doesn't mind her company." Flash said.

"I'm sure he won't." Mo said.

"Thanks, Flash." Sunset smiled bashfully.

"My pleasure, Sunset." Flash smiled back, just as bashful.

Michelle soon heard a knocking at the door. Everyone then turned over as the lady of the house went to see who it was.

"Who is it, Mom?" Cherry asked as she brought out a frying pan. "I got a frying pan and I'm not afraid to use it!"

It was the man from before with child services.

"May I help you, sir?" Michelle asked innocently.

"I believe a Sunset Shimmer is here?" The man demanded sharply.

"Sunset Shimmer?" Michelle hummed innocently, acting like she didn't know who that was.

"Yes...?" The man demanded.

"That name does sound familiar, but I don't think she's here... She's probably with a boy she loves enough to move in with..." Michelle shrugged.

"Then mind letting us in?" The man asked.

"Sure thing." Michelle replied.

Cherry gasped at her mother. Michelle secretly brought out her wand and hid Cherry and the others away so that the man wouldn't see Sunset and take her away. The man and child services soon came in.

"Cookie?" Michelle offered with a chipper smile.

The group of adults soon took a cookie. Michelle smiled to them.

"You think your mom can handle those guys, Cherry?" Flash said as they were all accidentally piled up in her room.

"Mom's smarter than she looks," Cherry replied. "She can surprise you in the craziest ways sometimes."

"So, we're good...?" Mo asked.

"So, does this mean I can live with you, Flash Sentry?" Sunset asked.

"Oh, uh, I mean, um, if you want." Flash smiled shyly.

"I'd love to." Sunset smiled back.

Flash and Sunset smiled to each other as this would be the start of a beautiful future for both of them.

"If one of you starts singing, I'm gonna throw up," Cherry muttered in the background. "I will really throw up."

Flash and Sunset sighed to her a bit.

"Aw, Cherry, smile!" Pinkie Pie beamed.

"Oh, please don't be like that episode with the cranky donkey." Cherry muttered to herself.

Unfortunately for her, it was like that episode.

"Make it stop!" Cherry begged.

Eventually, Michelle got child services and the apartment building manager to forget everything, and Sunset was soon moving into the Sentry household after Flash's family said that it would be okay, though Flash's little brother known as First Base thought it would be weird, but Sunset was able to show that it wouldn't be weird as she got on his good side.

"This is weird, there's going to be a girl living here." First Base told his older brother.

"Hey, Mom lives here, and you like her just fine." Flash chuckled to his little brother.

"That's... That's different... She's a mom..." First Base replied.

"What do you think Mom was before becoming a mother?" Flash asked.

First Base was about to say something, but just shrugged since he was young.

"Oh, ye of little faith..." Flash sighed to his little brother, but lightly chuckled.

Sunset soon came into the house.

"Welcome to our home." Flash smiled to Sunset.

"No wonder you're so nice and relaxed all the time," Sunset smiled back about the atmosphere of the home, and she soon saw First Base. "Well, hello there!"

"You're Sunset Shimmer, right?" First Base asked.

"That's me, and you must be Flash's adorable and smart little brother." Sunset smiled.

"That's me." First Base smirked.

"It's nice to meet you." Sunset giggled to him.

Flash could already tell they were getting along.

Flash's parents decided to have a special dinner to welcome Sunset into their home.

"Thanks for letting me stay here, uh, ma'am." Sunset said to Flash and First Base's mother.

"Oh, dear, we're family now, you can call me Twinkle Scout." The woman smiled.

"Um, well, okay, Twinkle." Sunset said.

Flash's mother smiled as she served them dinner. Sunset smiled back as this was the start of a wonderful future for her.
