After the adventure with Captain Zoom, Cherry and Atticus slept through the weekend and before they knew it, it was time for school. Though they didn't know it, but they would be in for another adventure. Cherry ran a little late, but soon came into one room where everyone else was for the school Yearbook.

"Glad you could join us." Mo said to Cherry.

"Guys, I'm sorry, I overslept, so my mom had to drive me..." Cherry panted and gasped.

"Late dream training?" Atticus guessed.

"Nah, I got a break due to what we did last week, but I kinda overslept still, and I didn't even hear my alarm..." Cherry replied.

"It's all right, Cherry, you're fine." Sci-Twi smiled.

"This is all just so great." Sunset beamed before she accidentally bumped into someone.

Atticus soon saw who Sunset bumped into.

"Excuse me." The fallen girl said softly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see you come in." Sunset smiled apologetically.

"I've been here for a while." The girl muttered.

"You have?" Mo asked as she helped her up.

"I've been trying to get your attention for, like, half the song." The girl replied.

"Ain't she a quiet one?" Applejack commented.

"Yeah, and we know some pretty shy people, am I right?" Rainbow Dash added.

"We do?" Fluttershy asked. "Who?"

"Really?" Cherry asked the former shy girl.

"Yes..." Fluttershy replied.

Cherry simply face-palmed.

"I'm Sunset Shimmer: President of the Yearbook Committee and Editor in Chief," Sunset smiled to the new girl. "You wanna join? We can always use extra help."

"Yeah." Patch added.

"I'm Wallflower Blush." The girl gave her name.

"Nice to meet you." Sunset smiled.

"I've been on the Yearbook Committee all year." The girl then added.

"Really?" Mo asked.

"Oh... Uh..." Sunset blushed nervously.

"Sunset, we met at ninth grade English." Wallflower told Sunset.

"And... I was saying it was nice to meet you then," Sunset smiled nervously. "You didn't let me finish."

"This is getting awkward," Patch whispered to the others. "Could it get worse?"

"With me in the room, yes." Cherry groaned since she was quite unlucky at times.

"Anyway, I counted up all the votes for the Yearbook Superlatives." Wallflower told the others as she handed some papers to Sunset.

"That's great." Mo said.

"Did I win 'Most Likely to Fall in a Ditch'?" Cherry muttered.

"No." Wallflower said.

"Hey, we won for Best Friends!" Sunset beamed. "Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Atticus, Mo, Patch, Cherry, and me!"

"I always knew I liked you all, but now it's official!" Pinkie beamed as she hugged them all. "In Yearbook form! The people have spoken!"

"Yep, nothing could ruin this moment." Mo smiled.

"Ooh, Good for Microchips!" Sci-Twi beamed. "Most Likely to Invent Cold Fusion. No reason to be jealous... I'm not!" she then snorted and laughed creepily.

"Don't worry, Twilight, we know you're a genius." Fluttershy soothed.

"That's right." Atticus added.

"Besides, it's just the yearbook." Rainbow Dash replied.

"That's right." Patch said.

This made everybody else gasp to them.

"Just a yearbook?!" Sunset repeated.

"Ugh... Now ya've gone and done it." Applejack told Rainbow Dash and Patch.

"What?" Patch asked. "What'd we say?"

"The student body has entrusted me with the responsibility of gathering their memories into the pages of this book!" Sunset told Patch and Rainbow Dash. "In 30 years, we might not remember everything, but we will remember what's in the yearbook!"

"Sorry, didn't think about that." Patch frowned.

"Well, I'm entrusting you not to put us next to Best Muscles!" Rainbow Dash rolled her red violet eyes. "Every time you close the book, it'll feel like we're kissing Bulk Biceps!"

"Ooh, why don't we take our picture at the beach on Saturday?" Rarity suggested. "Everyone's bound to look adorable, and I know how much you love the beach, Atticus."

"That sounds like a great idea." Atticus smiled.

"BEACH DAY!" Pinkie Pie squealed. "I'll make my world-famous fun in the sun cupcakes!" she then whispered to Cherry. "The secret ingredient is edible sunscreen. It's SPF fun-hundred!"

"Can I be scared of you now?" Cherry muttered.

"Why?" Pinkie asked.

Suddenly, the door was broken open and everyone turned to see who it was.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie demands to speak to the Yearbook Editor immediately!"

"Oh, great..." Cherry rolled her eyes. "Trixie."

"Unfortunately for me, that's me," Sunset sulked before approaching the girl. "Whatya want, Trixie?"

Trixie took the paper from her hands and looked through it. "Just as I suspected!" she then glared at the group. "I was not voted Most Greatest and Most Powerfulest! Explain yourself."

"Seriously?" Patch replied. "Even I know the reason."

"Besides, 'powerfulest' isn't a word like the existence of that superlative." Cherry added in slight deadpan.

"Mm... Neither was 'Biggest Meanie', but that didn't stop Sunset from winning in freshman year." Trixie smirked before taking out an old yearbook of a hostile Sunset Shimmer on camera with Snips and Snails.

"Seriously?" Atticus asked. "You have to bring that up?"

"That was different," Applejack told Trixie. "The whole school voted for her!"

Sunset winced in the bad memories.

"She was soooo mean!" Pinkie Pie whispered.

"That's not really helping." Cherry said.

"Of course, we all know Sunset doesn't earn the right to be remember that way." Sci-Twi helped as she tossed the yearbook aside.

"Thanks." Sunset smiled to her.

Cherry looked behind her and saw that Wallflower took the book while hiding in the background. "Anyway, can we move on from freshman year?" she then asked.

"There isn't a Greatest and Powerfulest Superlative, sorry." Sunset told Trixie.

"Oh, you're the one who will be sorry, Sunset Shimmer!" Trixie glared. "When you least expect it, I'll have my revenge, and then I'll disappear, like this! Behold: The Magician's Exit!" she then threw down a smoke bomb to disappear.

Everyone then coughed from the smoke.

"She's gone!" Mo gasped before pointing as Trixie was still there. "Oh, there she is."

"She seriously needs to work on that." Cherry said.

Sunset playfully smirked as she then got the door for Trixie. Trixie soon left with a huff. The others giggled to that and began to leave after Trixie.

"I'll just finish up!" Wallflower called out as they seemed to forget that she was in there.

"Oh, forgot to turn off the light." Sunset said before she turned off the light in the yearbook room.

"In the dark..." Wallflower sighed.

"Can't wait for tomorrow." Atticus smiled.

"I know, it'll be a lot of fun, I better tell Princess Twilight." Sunset smiled back.

"By the way, Sunset, where do you live?" Mo asked.

"Oh, I never told you?" Sunset replied. "Um, how do I explain this?"

"Do you live in an orphanage or an apartment?" Cherry asked.

"An apartment," Sunset replied. "I have my own bed, and I always make sure my alarm is set."

"So... You don't have a family?" Atticus asked.

"Not really." Sunset admitted.

"So, then your parents are still back in Equestria?" Mo asked.

"I guess you could say that..." Sunset replied. "I kinda left my life in Equestria behind me, except for that time with Starlight Glimmer."

"You said it." Atticus said.

"Did you want to come over?" Sunset asked Mo.

"I'd love to," Mo smiled before being confused. "Wait, if you live in apartment, how do you pay the bills and your rent?"

"Uh... No one really knows I'm there..." Sunset smiled nervously.

"Then how do you get in without anyone knowing?" Patch asked.

"I sneak in from the back." Sunset said.

"Clever..." Patch smirked to that.

"Heh... Thanks, but it's not easy..." Sunset replied. "Anyway, see you guys at the beach this weekend?"

"Yep, see ya there." Atticus said.

Everyone then went home for the night to get ready for the beach.

"What about Wallflower Blush...?" Cherry weakly asked since she knew about the girl from a dream that Princess Luna made her have.

"Hmm... We'll have to protect our memories from The Memory Stone." Atticus said.

"You were listening to me." Cherry smiled in excitement.

"Of course I was." Atticus said.

"The only question is how can we protect our memories from The Memory Stone." Cherry replied.

"Hmm... Maybe Drell will know." Atticus said.

"Do we have to see him?" Cherry groaned.

"Cherry, do you wanna forget everything?" Atticus asked.

"Like I'd forget anything, I have a powerful memory." Cherry slightly bragged.

"Still, we better go and see him." Atticus said.

"Fine..." Cherry replied.

They soon went their own way from Canterlot High School while the others went home until meeting at the beach tomorrow. Atticus and Cherry soon went to Drell's office.

"Hey, did you hear about that handsome warlock, Drell? I hear he's so charming in person!" Drell said in a high voice as he watched a couple outside his window talking among themselves. "He's so brave, handsome, and sweet! He may be the most handsome warlock in the whole Netherworld~"

"Uh, Drell?" Atticus spoke up.

Drell cleared his throat and then faced them. "Ah, hello there."

Cherry snickered, unable to hold it in.

"Why are you two here?" Drell asked.

"It's about something called The Memory Stone," Atticus said while Cherry showed pictures to show their point. "We found Wallflower Blush, and since Princess Luna told Cherry everything, we have to stop her from making her lose our memories."

"Atticus, unlike last time, this time you really won't be affected by any Equestrian magic and that includes The Memory Stone, except it can only affect you if you let it take away your memories of your friends," Drell winked at Atticus. "And as for how to block it keeping from you guys from losing your memories, try putting salt on your window sills."

"Salt?" Cherry and Atticus repeated.

"Yes, salt." Drell said.

"That's... Weird... But whatever..." Cherry shrugged. "As long as it's not garlic..."

"We're going to the beach tomorrow." Atticus told Drell.

"Oh, the beach is nice," Drell smiled. "I love visiting Maui... It reminds me of the older times."

Atticus and Cherry soon left his office to get their houses ready. They borrowed salt from their kitchens and applied it to the window sills.

"What are you doing?" Darla asked.

"Minding my own business..." Atticus replied before looking to her. "I have to put salt on my window or else I'll forget about Sunset Shimmer, and who knows what else?"

"High schoolers are weird..." Darla rolled her eyes.

"This has something to do with Equestrian magic, right?" Patch asked Atticus.

"Yes..." Atticus replied. "Drell said that if we put salt on our window sills, so the Memory Stone won't block our memories."

"Whew," Darla sighed. "Glad you told us."

"Heh... Sorry..." Atticus smiled nervously.

"WHERE IS THE SALT?!" Emily's voice yelled out.

"Oops." Atticus smiled sheepishly.

Cherry applied salt, though wondered how much to add, so she loosened the cap and dumped it all on. She then saw salt sprinkled on her fingertips and licked it off before grimacing and shuddering with her eyes popping. She soon went to bed to get a good start at night. She tried to get the taste of salt out of her mouth, but soon fell asleep. As everyone went to sleep, some dark magic filled the air, and where most were affected by the dark magic, though the ones that had their window sills covered with salt, they were safe or at least half-way.
