Tears of Sunlight

Chapter 2: Mondays

Sunset slapped her blaring alarm clock and groaned, Ugh, Monday.

The only positive thing was that she finally got her motorcycle, which was definitely worth getting out of bed for.

After getting dressed, she dragged herself down stairs and into the kitchen where Luna and Celestia sat at the island, the former looking as not ready for school as she did. Upon noticing Sunset enter the kitchen, Luna got up, poured another cup of coffee, then set it at Sunset's seat.

"Thanks." The teen said tiredly.

Luna just grunted in response.

Celestia sighed, "Every week."

"Monday's are evil." Sunset dead panned tiredly.

"The work of Satan." Luna agreed.

After some coffee, Sunset eventually got the energy to pop a bagel in the toaster and leaned on the counter.

The morning was relatively quiet when she got to school, but that wasn't new for a Monday. What was different, however, was the tarps covering the soccer field.

It only took seconds after Sunset pulled into the lot that Rainbow and Rarity were next to her.

"Sweet ride, Sunset!" Rainbow said looking at the orange and yellow decal on the side that Luna had surprised her with when her and Celestia had returned the previous evening.

It was her cutie mark but it extended into brilliant flames.

"I must say, that motorcycle suits you, as does that jacket." Rarity said.

"Thanks," She adjusted her new leather jacket, "And a certain up and coming designer made it for me."

"I wonder who that could be." Rarity said with a smile as she turned and walked into the school.

Sunset shook her head with a grin before walking into the school with her friends. When they got the band room, Fluttershy, pinkie and AJ were already sitting on the risers, chatting away. When they saw Sunset, Pinkie squealed excitedly.

"You have your helmet!!!!" She screamed, "This can only mean one thing."

"I got my bike?" Sunset smiled, "Yep!"

"Congratulations, Sunset." Fluttershy said, "I could never do something like that. It's much too dangerous for me."

"So!" Rainbow cut in, "Did you race Chrysalis home!?"

Sunset chuckled, "I actually raced Celestia home, on her motorcycle."

The room went silent.

"Turns out she's had her license this whole time, she and Luna just put their motorcycles in storage when it starts to get cold." Sunset explained, "It surprised me too."

"Who knew Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna were so awesome!" Rainbow said

"I'm pretty sure Sunset's known that for a while" AJ chimed in, causing a small smile to form on her face.

So much has changed so much in the last five months. Sunset smiled at the thought of everything that had led her to this point. All it took was for her to travel to an alternate dimension and turn into a literal demon.

Very few people knew that Sunset was adopted by Celestia, those were her friends, Luna, Chrysalis, the school nurse and the receptionist, Raven. Celestia and Sunset had discussed it at length shortly after it was official and they agreed it was probably in Sunset's best interest, for now at least.

The girls sat and talked for a bit before class started before the bell rang and they all went to class. Sunset smiled and waved to people in the hallways and most waved back. It was good to not be feared...or hated. School, for Sunset was looking up.
