Chapter 10: Sunset and Twilight

We Need To Talk
Twilight met with Sunset at Sweet Snacks Café. Pinkie Pie was there to take their orders. They sat at a small booth at the end of the store, near the doors so they could touch the beautiful spring breeze coming in. After weeks of endless rainfall, the darkness had suddenly passed on.

Pinkie returned to give them a fruit smoothie to drink. It was bright pink, with a couple of cherries and whipped cream on top. It looked delicious, and wasted no time to take their first sip through a stripped straw. They both smiled, and simply enjoyed the silence between them. Both were feeling unsure of how to start the conversation. It felt different between them, since the time spent through tragedies, adapting to a normal life seemed odd.

"So, Twilight?" Sunset asked softly. She took one last sip, and wanted to start somewhere.

"Yeah?" Twilight asked, as she swallowed an opened cherry. Pinkie was sure to never leave any pits inside.

"How are you feeling?" Sunset continued.

"Oh, I guess it's been okay... I'm not sure what to do... I still feel terrible..." Twilight said, hesitantly.

"I understand. We all needed to get rid of all the skeletons in the closet, right?" Sunset requested.

"I think you're right. I don't want to hurt you or anybody, ever again! I never intended for anything like that to happen... I'm so sorry Sunset." Twilight apologized.

"It's alright. I think everyone, in time, will adjust to our normal life again." Sunset said.

"You really think so?" Twilight asked.

"We all took measures into our own hands and never considered turning to each other for help." Sunset said. "I don't want us to make that same mistake again."

"Yeah, I guess that's true..." Twilight agreed.

"I don't think we'll split up like we did before, but instead come together!" Sunset enlightened. "We're all here for each other, right?!"

"Yes, of course." Twilight said softly.

"You okay?" Sunset asked.

"Yeah..." Twilight whispered.

"What is it?" Sunset asked.

"Well... since we've come across these events, do you think the rifts in the world will be troublesome?" Twilight added.

"I can't say. I guess I should ask Princess Twilight about them." Sunset continued. Twilight looked at Sunset.

"How are things in Equestria?" Twilight shifted focus.

"It's actually pretty tame last I heard." Sunset smiled. "Everyone is doing fine!"

"That's good to hear!" Twilight asked. "I'm glad sis is alright."

"Yeah, I think this summer I might want to try and go back for a little bit." Sunset mentioned.

"What for?" Twilight asked.

"Just to visit, and maybe just to catch up with others I don't really get to talk to." Sunset admitted. "I don't think we've met Starlight last time."

"Yeah?" Twilight agreed. "Cool..." Twilight smiled, but it went away. Sunset saw her smile went away, as she went in for another drink.

"Maybe you should come with me this time?" Sunset requested. "Make it official this time."

"Really?" Twilight perked up. "You really think that will be okay?"

"Of course... why wouldn't it be?" Sunset questioned.
