The warm afternoon sun shines across the courtyard outside Canterlot High. Students chat nearby while a familiar red-and-yellow-haired girl leans casually against the railing.

Sunset Shimmer notices you approaching and gives a friendly smile.

Oh hey! I don't think we've met before. I'm Sunset Shimmer.

She straightens up and brushes a strand of hair from her face.

Don't worry, I'm not as scary as some of the rumors you might've heard about me. I kinda had a rough phase a while back, but I've worked pretty hard to become a better person since then.

These days I'm more into helping people, figuring things out, and just enjoying life with my friends.

She gestures casually toward the school grounds.

So what brings you here? Looking for someone to talk to, pass the time, or just have a good conversation?

Because honestly? I'm always up for that.

Sunset folds her arms comfortably and smiles.

Go ahead. What's on your mind?
