It was now the afternoon of the next day after school. Many students arrived at the gymnasium one after another to wait, and even both principals came to watch.
With the help of the human m5, the stage and the auditorium had been completely renovated. Just looking at it conveyed a positive and happy mood, and it was also very beautiful, all thanks to the ingenuity of Pinkie Pie and Rarity.
It could be said that for the performance to start smoothly as scheduled, Trixie really owed a huge debt of gratitude to the human m5 and Sunset Shimmer, especially to Sunset Shimmer.
Standing offstage, Sunset Shimmer yawned. Because she had stayed up very late last night helping Trixie prepare those magic props, she had been called out by Cherry for sleeping during math class today.
Sunset Shimmer still remembered the slightly disappointed look in Ms. Cherry's eyes.
After all, just yesterday Cherry thought Sunset Shimmer was a good student, but today she was sleeping in class just like Rainbow Dash, which made her feel that her intention of having Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer solve problems on stage together yesterday had been completely misunderstood.
Sunset Shimmer was speechless, but she was somewhat used to it. After all, it wasn't the first time she had broken classroom discipline because of a blue-colored character, and at least this time the teacher hadn't kicked her out of the classroom.
...
Perhaps Trixie was right; this habit of hers was becoming more and more serious, but she couldn't find anyone in this world to confide in.
This was her own choice, so no matter how uncomfortable it was, she deserved it.
Sunset Shimmer sighed.
Suddenly, someone touched her arm with a cold drink, almost triggering her pony instincts.
Hey, are you okay? You don't seem very happy.
The blue-haired boy handed the drink to Sunset Shimmer and asked with concern.
Oh, thanks, I'm fine, just a little sleep-deprived.
Sunset Shimmer smiled politely at the boy, then somewhat reluctantly took the apple soda he handed her.
Wait... I think I've seen you before.
Flash Akun, also known as Flash Sentry. We met at the entrance of the school cafeteria yesterday noon, remember?
Oh! It's you... I didn't expect to see you again so soon, Flash Sentry...
Sunset Shimmer laughed guiltily; she was dying of embarrassment from her own words.
In fact, she hadn't remembered who this person was at all; it was just that the guitar he was carrying yesterday had left an impression on Sunset Shimmer, and she only remembered that guitar.
Flash Sentry didn't dwell on the holes in Sunset Shimmer's words but actively found new topics to make the conversation atmosphere more relaxed.
Your new jacket looks cool.
Thanks, it's actually not a new jacket... but I haven't worn it many times, so it's no different from a new one.
After Rarity forcibly put the black jacket on her last night, the bit of awkwardness in Sunset Shimmer's heart had been resolved a little. Also, she really felt that she looked good in such clothes, and she liked wearing them too.
So today, she took out the jacket that had been hidden in her closet for a month and wore it.
I heard you are serving as the magician's assistant for this magic show, so I didn't think I would run into you here.
Speaking of this, Flash Sentry's expression was a bit unnatural. He had thought Sunset Shimmer would be in the backstage preparation room, so he had gone backstage first.
As a result, not only did he not find Sunset Shimmer, but he was also surrounded by the six girls inside. He didn't know why they could tell at a glance that he was looking for Sunset Shimmer, and they even teased him, saying that the girl he was looking for wasn't there.
That was really awkward.
Trixie said she doesn't need me to help her on stage for now, and told me to just wait offstage and play it by ear when the official performance starts.
Sunset Shimmer didn't catch the subtext in Flash Sentry's words; as soon as she heard "magic show," she couldn't help but complain about Trixie.
I really can't stand her being like this anymore. I don't know what she's planning on her own again. I just hope she doesn't mess it up this time; otherwise, I really won't be able to help her this time.
Sunset Shimmer felt that she might as well be Trixie's mother; she was more worrying than Spike every single day.
After venting, Sunset Shimmer realized belatedly that it might not be appropriate to complain about her project partner to an outsider before the performance started.
Sorry, just forget what I just said. Although I don't know what "surprise" Trixie has prepared, at least the parts outside of the surprise will definitely be fine.
After all, those had passed through Sunset Shimmer's hands and had been personally adjusted by her, which gave Sunset Shimmer some confidence.
Sounds like you and Trixie have a pretty good relationship. Making a good friend on the first day of school is a good start for you.
My relationship with her is good? You must be joking, right?
Sunset Shimmer looked at Flash Sentry in surprise.
I'm not joking. It was when I was backstage just now, Trixie told me that.
Although Sunset Shimmer had always acted very impatient and was very annoyed by Trixie causing her trouble, even so, Sunset Shimmer still chose to stay by Trixie's side, helping her smooth out all obstacles, and even comforting and encouraging her when Trixie was frustrated.
If Sunset Shimmer didn't care about Trixie at all and didn't treat anyone as a friend, there would be no need for her to do any of this.
...She would say such mushy things?
It was hard to imagine that such a sentence, which made even Sunset Shimmer feel embarrassed to hear, would be said by a tsundere like Trixie, and in front of the other five people?
However, Sunset Shimmer had only known Trixie for two days, so she didn't actually know her that well.
People at this school seem to really like making friends; if it's based on this foundation, it doesn't seem strange for them to get sentimental from time to time.
Uh, you went backstage just now?
Having witnessed the "customs and habits" of this school, Sunset Shimmer had to re-examine Flash Sentry's attempt to strike up a conversation; he wasn't also here to make friends with her, was he?
Um... Yes! I originally wanted to go backstage to find you, but... haha, I didn't expect you to be right here.
Flash Sentry didn't know why the conversation between him and Sunset Shimmer was getting more and more awkward; he actually just wanted to get the contact information from Sunset Shimmer that he didn't get last time.
He felt that this cool girl was very attractive to him; if he could be friends with her, it would feel great.
Um...
Flash Sentry's hand reached into his pocket to fumble for his phone, wanting to take this opportunity to get closer to Sunset Shimmer.
Pop!
The lights in the gymnasium suddenly went out. The rowdy students under the stage exclaimed, then fell silent one after another and gathered towards the stage.
In the pushing and shoving, Flash Sentry and Sunset Shimmer were separated.
The spotlight on the stage lit up, and the Rainbow Sonic Boom Band appeared on stage. Because it was a program added halfway through, most students didn't know about this, and they were surprised by this unexpected band performance.
On stage, Pinkie Pie tapped her drumsticks, the other four musicians immediately got into their starting positions, and Rainbow Dash smiled confidently and grabbed the microphone.
