Third person P.O.V.
Later that day, Caramel, Soarin, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Twilight came to see Rough Draft and to bring all of Sunset Shimmer's stuff that she left at the school bus. Twilight apologized for letting Rough Draft leave at the mall, but both Sunset Shimmer and Rough Draft told her there was nothing to forgive, and Sunset Shimmer apologized for her attitude in the school parking lot. The whole group stayed and talked about what happened until Nurse Redheart told them that they had to leave, but Sunset Shimmer has permission from Rough Draft's parents to stay, much to her appreciation. Rough Draft's parents also confirmed when they called him that night that Octavia, Vinyl, and Derpy were looking after him when they left to talk to the police and were surprised that they weren't still there.
Sunset Shimmer never left Rough Draft's side the entire time.
On Monday morning the next day, Sunset Shimmer reluctantly had to leave to drop her stuff off at her apartment and get ready for school.
"I wish you didn't have to go," Rough Draft says as he watches her grab her keys and helmet from his hospital bed.
"I do too, babe," she says, giving her boyfriend a sad smile. "But not all of us have the excuse of being beaten and shot by former sirens from another world. Besides, someone's gotta collect whatever homework you're going to miss in all of your classes for the next week and a half, and I don't think Caramel and Soarin have the mindset to be the ones to do it."
Rough Draft groans in annoyance like a child.
"I suppose you're going to make me do my homework as soon as you get back?" He says.
Sunset Shimmer rolls her eyes before smirks at her boyfriend and says, "Of course not, I'm gonna go back to snuggling with you for at least the first few days."
"That's my sunshine," he says, smiling. "I love you."
"I love you too, Rough Draft," Sunset Shimmer replies before pecking him on the lips. "I'll see you in the afternoon."
"I'll be waiting," he calls out as she exits his room.
*********************************************************************************************
The first five periods of class went by without any problems. Sunset Shimmer listened to her teachers' lectures and took notes like the smart student she is, but every now and again, her attention drifts away thinking about Rough Draft and worrying about this "client" that gave Adagio and Aria their new magic. She did think it was a comfort to know that people haven't heard about what happened to Rough Draft yet so she could avoid the attention.
Finally, it is lunchtime, and Sunset is collecting her lunch from a very happy Granny Smith. She's clearly pleased to hear that Sonata is back in Canterlot and will be allowed to return to Granny and the other Apples later tonight after the police sort out a couple of things between her and her 'sisters.' Sunset Shimmer smiles at her anticipation before she leaves to sit with Twilight, Applejack, Soarin, Caramel, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity and eats her food. She manages to eat only two bites of her burger before her friends start asking questions.
"Hey, Sunset," Soarin says. "I forgot to ask when we were all visiting Rough Draft; do you know how long he's going to be staying at the hospital?"
"They said they are going to keep him there for ten days," she answers, not looking at Soarin. "He's going to have pain on his arm for several months, but they expect the wound to heal by next Wednesday."
