Chapter 7
Sunset's PoV
I got a message from Pinkie to all of us...again. This time she was asking about all of us going swimming. I would have loved to, but I denied it. Then I got another message, this time it was from Pinkie directly to me:
'Hey...Twilight's bringing Flash! I know they're dating, they told me, but at least you'll still be able to bond with your crush!'
I was nearly about to reply 'which one' because I did have a tiny crush on Twilight after breaking up with Flash, but maybe I was just jealous. Instead I left it. She was only planning it for Saturday, and today was Monday. (A/N Correct me if I'm wrong, I've lost track on what day it is in this book)
I was bored at home, so I decided to go to a café, and do whatever ridiculous homework my teacher had given me for being late to her lesson. I sat down and opened my computer, and was just about to get started when Fluttershy came over to sit opposite me. Seriously why couldn't anyone just leave me alone? Maybe I should have stayed at home.
Me: "Hey Fluttershy? What's up? Did you get Pinkie's text?"
Fluttershy: "Yes, but I'm not going. What if I drown?" I think a Fluttershy is a bit of a pessimist.
Me: "Have you swam before?" She nodded. "Then you'll be fine!"
Fluttershy: "Are you going?" And I shook my head. "Why?" Ok...I was a hypocrite.
Me: "Look, I actually can't swim, and I will actually drown." (A/N Sooooo relatable) She just laughed. "What? It's true!" I began to laugh too.
Fluttershy: "Please go, there will be lifeguards and you won't drown. I promise."
Me: "Fine, if you go I'll go..."
Fluttershy: "Agreed."
I finished my homework and Fluttershy left me alone. I thought about why I was doing all this...getting Twilight and Flash together, and AppleJack and Rainbow. I thought about AppleJack's question, 'I that what you really want' or something like that. I don't think I actually like the idea of my best friend and my ex dating. I think that I hadn't let go of Flash yet, and maybe I wasn't ready. Why is it so difficult to keep track of my own thoughts? Oh well, I guess I just had to have an uneventful week to prepare for whatever Saturday throws at me.
The next day I had to deliver a 'speech' with Twilight in front of some of the younger students. It was about being able to trust each other and work well as a group. I mean, our school year is pretty good at that (for a year with the school bully in... aka me about a year ago).
On Wednesday, me and AppleJack met up, and she thanked me for being a good friend, and told me about her and Rainbow. So far so good.
Thursday was pretty much the slowest, yet most calming day I had ever had...in ages. And on Friday we called for a quick meet up so we knew the times for swimming. All Twilight did was say how she was grateful that we let her bring Flash, and I already felt like I was being punched. That's when I realised how jealous I really was.
On Saturday, Twilight, Flash and I walked to the swimming pool, and met up with everyone else. I was so nervous....mostly because I hadn't been swimming since I was about 3 years old and I nearly killed myself. We got changed and met up with the others.
Pinkie: "Come on guys! We don't want to waste a moment of this!" And began to run into the pool, before a lifeguard stopped her for being too disruptive and because she was running by the pool when she shouldn't have been. Twilight and Flash were walking behind me, and I could hear them flirting.
...
Flash: "Watch our Twilight, I don't want you to fall into the pool and hurt yourself." Seriously? That was the cheesiest thing Flash had ever said...ever! And that's when I let my jealousy get the better of me, and afterwards completely regretted it.
Sunset: "Oh please! It's water, you can't hurt yourself!" I (tried but failed to) demonstrate how the pool side wasn't dangerous, and skidded across, tripping myself over and falling right into the pool head first. I don't know what happened after that. I think I was too much in shock.
Pinkie's PoV
I just got into the pool when the life guard stopped me again for pushing Fluttershy in. At the same time I saw Sunset talking to Flash and Twi before falling into the pool. She hit her head on the side and it looked really painful, but the lifeguard was watching me, and didn't think anything was wrong! I sat and watched, because the goddamn life woman didn't let me get in the pool yet, and Twilight and Flash were looking at each other and the water, but Sunset didn't come back up. Flash obviously knew something was wrong so he dived in to save Sunset. It was the cutest thing ever, but I know Twilight didn't agree. She looked pissed at Flash to be honest. How can a relationship ruin friendship that much? Luckily my friendship would never be ruined, because I would never get anyone to fall for me. Oh well.
(A/N Poor Pinkie 😂)
Flash's PoV
I swam back up with an (I'm pretty sure) unconscious Sunset Shimmer. The life guard's manager thing came and told the life guard off for not doing their job, and took me and Sunset out of the pool area. Bearing in mind that I was actually topless... Sunset was actually fine, but better to be safe than sorry. I know why Sunset did it anyway. She was jealous, of me and Twilight. I kind of had that feeling from the start, but I didn't want to mention it or it would get more awkward than it already was. Me and Sunset got changed and left the others. I got a cab and took her home. On the way back she was staring out the window, but I don't think the chlorine was the only reason her eyes were red.
Me: "Do you wanna talk about it?"
She didn't say anything for about thirty seconds, and then broke down.
Sunset: "I'm sorry...really sorry. Actually, sorry isn't enough. You probably know I was jealous, and I couldn't...I couldn't let go that quickly..."
She flopped her head down onto my arm. It gave me a dead arm, but I didn't care.
Me: "But...we broke up..like...last year? And I'm sorry, but you told me you didn't want me back...and helped me with Twi."
She lifted her head...thank god.
Sunset: "I don't want to go out again. I want you two to be happy, and I know how important that is, but I also want you to forget about this...everything that happened today, please?"
Me: "Completely washed out of my head." I smiled and put my arm around her. She got out the cab, said goodbye, and then I called Twilight and apologised for leaving her like that. I told her to meet me again tomorrow so we could actually spend proper time together, and nothing could actually go wrong because no one would know. That's how it should have been in the first place...
