Sunset went over to her front door, hoping it wasn’t a neighbor wanting to complain, or that girl she fought earlier. After all, she didn’t fight her that far from her apartment, it was really only a few blocks down. However, she heard a familiar voice coming from the other side that completely dismissed either of those being a possibility.
“Suuuuuuunseeeeeeet? Are you theeeeeeeeeeeere?” Sang Pinkie Pie.
Sunset was admittedly relieved upon hearing this, realizing that there was still one more task that needed to be taken care of before she was sure she could go back to Equestria. She was also rather curious of where Pinkie was the whole day, as it certainly didn’t seem like her to simply disappear without letting any of her friends know. Regardless, she opened her door and saw her pink friend standing on her doorstep, smiling.
“Hey, Sunset! Did you miss me, did you, did you, did you?” Asked Pinkie with her usual energetic nature.
“Hey, Pinkie.” Sunset replied. “Yeah, I was admittedly confused on why I didn’t see you at Mrs. Cake’s shop earlier, even though you did mention you’d be there after school. None of our friends knew where you were either, you kinda just disappeared on such short notice. I’m… guessing something unexpected happened?”
“Oh, well, that’s a bit of a surprise.” Pinkie said, hinting to that being a rather likely possibility. “Actually, I’m so excited that I might as well tell you now! I actually left my last class a bit earlier than usual to fetch my graduation gown at the Canterlot Mall. But there, I met the coolest guy ever! I don’t know how to describe him, but I’ve never clicked well with anybody on this level! Apparently, he moved in from out of town, and really knows how to party! Not as much as yours truly, but he’s certainly up there!”
“You met a guy whom you hit off with rather nicely? That’s pretty cool!” Sunset said happily. “Could he even be your special someone?”
“Well… maybe not quite there yet, but I know Maud would be proud of me if we do get that far!” Pinkie said, blushing slightly. “I haven’t really been focusing on romance at all, but I guess it’s just cause I feel certain other things are more important. Like… whether or not I can get seconds on cookies at parties!”
“No, I totally get you, Pinkie.” Sunset said with understanding. “I mean, ever since I dated Flash, I don’t really think we really clicked all that well. Sure, he was a nice guy who’d look out for me, take me out for food, and gave me money if I really needed it, but I didn’t exactly feel we had a genuine relationship. He never really seemed to understand my issues back then, or simply brush off my previous distaste toward Equestria and Princess Celestia as a joke. Plus, I did also notice that at times, we just didn’t have many interests that kept us together. The main thing he did teach me was how to play guitar, but that was really about it. Flash was definitely a nice guy and all, but yeah. It’s still nice to hang with friends who understand your deep complexity and interests.”
“Ohhhhh, like you and Twilight?” Pinkie inquired. “You two seem really close, always get straight A’s on your report cards, and seem to really get each other as far as having regrets on past actions. Plus, you both did also turn into horrifying, freakish monsters. No offense.”
“None… taken.” Sunset said once again, getting somewhat tired of saying it like it’s a running joke. “But anyways, exactly. I certainly think Twilight understands me a lot more than anyone else I’ve met in this world. And she feels the same about me. So to hear that you’ve found this kind of person in your life, I can certainly say I’m happy for you, Pinkie.”
“Thanks, Sunny Buddy!” Pinkie said, jovially. “We did meet because I wanted to buy some fundraiser cookies from him. He’s raising money to give parties for poor children. Such a heart of gold, that one. Oh! I almost forgot! He’s actually with me at the moment, but had to take care of a few errands real quick. When he comes back to pick me up, you can meet him, if you’d like.”
Sunset was curious about meeting Pinkie’s new friend, but suddenly remembered there was still one task that needed attention before she left for Equestria.
“That sounds swell, Pinkie.” Sunset said, open to meet new people. “By the way, Pinkie. I was wondering if I could ask a favor of you?”
“Yeah, what is it, did you want some cookies too?” Pinkie asked curiously.
“Err, no. It’s not that, it’s…” Sunset began, but somewhat hesitated when realizing Pinkie might have a sad reaction upon hearing she’ll be leaving the human world for a few days. Regardless, she continued, as she knew this had to be taken care of. “Let’s just say I’ll be leaving town for a few days, but will be back for graduation. In the meantime, I do kinda need someone to watch the house for a bit, including taking care of Ray, watering the plants, and checking for any important mail. You think you could do that for me?”
“Hmm, I dunno. My party boy and I do have plans to hang out for quite a while these next few days. I guess we can hang out here in your house, but we might need order some food while we’re here. I’ll check my wallet and see if I have enough.”
“Don’t worry about it, Pinkie. Here.” Sunset said as she reached into her own bag and pulled out the $50 bill Lily had given her earlier. “My treat. This should be enough for some food if you two really need it. You can also help yourself to whatever is in the fridge, I do have some leftover lasagna and cherry pie in the fridge.”
“Are you sure, Sunset?” Pinkie asked, somewhat hesitant at taking Sunset’s money. “You might need this for your trip out of town, right?”
“Nah, trust me, Pinkie. Where I’m going, I don’t really need this kind of money.” Sunset insisted, knowing Equestria would not know what a dollar bill is. Despite her long absence, she knew it was a place that accepted a currency known as bits. “Please, take it. If you and your friend accept this favor from me, you’ll have earned it in my eyes. And if not, I would’ve had to pay for a housesitter anyways.”
“Gee, thanks Sunset! I guess just like my new friend, you sure know how to throw a party yourself! But all right, water plants, feed your gecko, check for mail, affirmative! Why me, though?” Pinkie questioned.
“Well, we’ve both done babysitting jobs together before, so I know you are at least capable of handling the responsibilities of such a task. Plus, I know you much better than most housesitters, so I feel I can definitely trust you.”
“Awwww, how sweet, Sunset! Don’t worry, I won’t let you down-” Pinkie said, before briefly stopping upon hearing a knock at the door. “Ooooooh, that’s him! He’s here!” Pinkie said as she looked out the window and saw him standing outside on the doorstep. She went to open the door and invited him into the apartment.
Sunset turned to see the guy Pinkie was talking about. Before even saying anything, something about this boy made Sunset want to… say Cheese.
