oh, right, words. she can
use those, dur. the unicorn
nervously smiles as she
fully reveals herself from
behind the wall.

“ oops, sorry for eyeing

should've let you know
that i was visiting. ” 💧

she retrieves her phone from
the pocket of her jacket, a
quick moment to check if
something would work in
their favor.

“ there's a chance that i

he's trying to be positive about

she practically jumps out
of her skin upon the multiple
non - human encounters. and
even moreso after the Beast
Cookie addresses her.

this was not anything related
to her energetic friend at all.

“ i'm ... not sure. wait, who're you? ”

with a lazy wave of her hand , she dismissed the guards . as her militant force dispersed , she eyed the woman with a skeptical look .

“ now how did you end up in 𝘮𝘺 garden , darling .ᐣ ”

── convenient! hey, whatever
gets them to that staff faster
was good news to him.

“ perfect — then all we need
now is a boat! I don't have
one of my own, maybe I
should change that ... ”

── she must've been stuck in
one of Pinkie's daydreams, because
how else would Sunset have ended
up in @ugar_s76085's garden? not
a problem, all she had to do was
find a way out!!

── “ you know what, I can't
even say I'm /too/ surprised.
there HAD to be another me
in this world before I got here. ”

as much as she tries to convince
herself, it's more of a cope than
anything.

“ it's ... about time? ”

── the nudge brings out a
snort in the girl's laughter,
an arm outstretched to push
open a door to the campus
building. she was still surprised
that no heads turned.

“ you're saying this with a name
like /darth vader/? ”

── Sunset looks a little
too casual upon seeing
@Benthewolf67. she's seen
so many bizarre things in
her life that a talking wolf
is the most normal thing
this week.

that doesn't mean she isn't
curious, however.

“ maybe there's

on you and to everyone
else, I look crazy talking
to myself. ”

── while he hadn't done
an entire 360°, Sunset did
trust Tempest a bit more.
as they move through the
empty halls, he pauses.

“ wait, i just noticed .. you're
still a unicorn? you can't
just walk in public like that?? ”

── “ har har. very funny. ”

even with the sarcastic remark,
the student couldn't hide the
little smile.

she begins packing her backpack,
filling it with necessities for a brief
trip.

“ there's a portal here, i'll take
you. ”

── surprisingly, they didn't
seem much to shocked about
the need to return to Equestria.
it had been a while, sure, but
it was still her world of origin.

it. that's it. ”

── Sunset didn't want to
admit it, but she could relate,
at least a little. she had her
fair share of ridicule & redemption
herself.

a sigh leaves their lips, but
not one of irritation. more
like begrudging acceptance.
