Lies, Lies, Lies
Sunset put on a red dress, black belt, and black boots.
She picked up her bracelet.
She had made it with her friends a month after the Fall Formal. The one she made had red beads, and a big bead with her cutie mark.
It was the first thing she did with her new friends. The first thing she had done in a long time with a pure heart.
She slipped it on her wrist.

The room was silent.
Sunset looked at the jury. She knew they thought Blair was guilty.
Was she the only one with a brain?
She flipped through her binder.
There was a note.
"That's great," she whispered.
"Sunset, close it," Lemon Zest whispered.
She ripped the page out, and slipped it under the table.
"H is going to lie to you. Trust me with your life, and you'll understand. Please, Sunset. You know me. We're friends. You have to trust me. -Evie."
Evie. There's an Evie.
She sighed.
The officer's pushed Blair in.
"Blair Hallows, charged with the murder of her sister, Rose Moon." the judge said.
Principal Sylvie nodded. "I call the father to the stand."
Sunset looked at Blair.
Blair blinked.
Josi flipped her hair. "I have a question for him."
"As do I," Sunset said.
She had a horrified look in her eyes.
Josi walked up to the stand. "What were you doing the day Rose Moon was killed?"
"I was out with my wife." he said.
Sunset looked at her paper.
Murdered June 31, 2015. Date given by father.
Never married.
She looked at Blair again.
She nodded. "He's lying!" she said with her mouth.
Sunset stood up. "What was her name?"
"Breeze Flame," he said.
"Yeah, that's really cool. I just wanted to know why there's no record of her." she said.
He rolled his eyes.
She looked at her paper. "Hey, Judge? Can you please tell me what day Rose was murdered."
"June 31, 2015." she said.
Sunset smirked. "Yeah, I read that. I just don't understand how someone could be murdered on a day that didn't exist. And, how would Blair 'stand over someone' when she can't even stand?"
She looked at Blair in a way to say "sorry".
Blair smiled.
"And it's really funny that the father here went on a date with his wife, saw his daughter dead, and his other daughter standing. All of this on a day that never came."
He glared at her. "If you think I killed her, you should leave, before I shoot you too."
Sunset stepped back. "I rest my case."
Blair looked at the judge.
Principal Sylvie nodded.
"In this case, we find Blair innocent, Miss Hallows, you're free to go." the judge said.
Sunset hugged Blair.
"Thank you," she whispered.
"No, I should thank you. You told me it was him." Sunset said.
Blair smiled. "But you proved it."
Sunset nodded. "Then we both did it."
But that was only the first murder case she would have to solve.....
-
Sunset sat in her desk. She took out her pen.
It was time for her final exam as a first year student.
Principal Sylvie passed out the packets.
Sunset looked up. Everything around her looked so different. She was seeing her life in a new way.
She started her test.
It was over soon, and she packed her bags.
Indigo Zap smiled. "We get to go home today!"
Sunset sighed. "Well, yeah. It's summer."
"Are you ok?" she asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just wish I could go home for the summer."
Indigo sat down by her. "Sunset, anywhere your heart feels wanted is your home. Canterlot Jigh is yout home. That's where your new family is."
Sunset looked at her. "Thank you."
She nodded.
Lemon Zest, Sour Sweet, Sunny Flare, and Sugar Coat ran in.
"We're all on the same flight tonight!" Sunny Flare said.
"We know, Sunny Flare. You told us that. You talk too much." Sugar Coat said.
Sunset smirked. "Hey, Sugar Coat? I don't really understand your name. You really don't sugar coat anything you say."
Sugar Coat laughed. "That's so true!"
"Are you coming for lunch?" Indigo called.
Sunset looked at her. "No, I'm fine. I'll see you later."
She pulled out her phone.
NEW MESSAGE
"Kidnapping, murder, arrest, I lied about it all. -A"
Then a message from Evie came in.
"Don't listen to her! She is lying about it. I'm ok, Sunset. Please, never forget. -Evie."
Sunset sighed.

Evie. Just so you know, I won't be telling you who she is until the next book. I will say this, it's someone you'll think is dead. I will upload the next chapter today. I wrote this, and thought I published this, but I just finished typing the next chapter, and saw this was still a draft.
