The Queen of Parasprites. That's all she knows. That's all she is. She has no proper name. She watches over the parasprites in the Everfree forest. That's all. That is until she meets another pony for the first time.

Chapter 1

Deep in the Ever free forest, past the old castle ruins lies a kingdom. It's small for a kingdom and holds no buildings. In fact the entire place is about the size of a small village. In the center lies a clearing with a single stream running through the middle. It's cool and shady with the help of the constant gentle breeze cutting through the air and the darting shadows of the trees shaking in the wind. Under a small birch on the edge of the opening lays a single pony, the heaving of her chest disturbing the few flowers growing nearby. Her long blue mane was sprawled out in the cool grass and her shiny orange coat was ruffled.

This may seem like nothing important, after all it was hardly a kingdom. But unfortunately this so called kingdom housed a creature that might make some ponies straight out panic. This kingdom was a kingdom of parasprites.

At first glance the pony under the tree may look normal but at second glance one might spot the parasprite like wings sprouting out of her back. That and her normal looking orange horn marking her as an alicorn. Her cutie mark was the splitting image of a red and blue parasprite. Her long flowing mane was rugged and unkempt and her eyes would scare any little filly away. While one couldn't see it now as she was asleep her eyes glowed red which wouldn't be unnormal for a pony except there were no pupils. Instead crisscrossing lines dropped down her iris, just like a parasprites. She was the queen of parasprites. A princess of terror.

The orange pony jerked upright at a loud banging noise. She twisted her head all around hoping to find her reason for waking up. She was having such a pleasant dream too. In the corner of her eye she spotted a pink mass bouncing towards her. It had silver and gold pipes all across her body. She stood up and yelled out "Who goes there?" She had never dealt with whatever this pink creature was, only parasprites.

She was surprised when this creature stopped. She was even more amazed when the pink blob yelled back "Hiya! My name's Pinkie Pie! I didn't know anypony lived back here." The now identified Pinkie Pie bounded towards her. The orange pony took a few steps back as the Pinkie Pie came closer.

"W-what's a Pinkie Pie?" The orange alicorn asked hesitantly.

"Not a what! Who! I'm a pony named Pinkie Pie silly!" The Pinkie Pie stopped in front of her. She jumped back as the silver and gold tubes crashed down around the Pinkie Pie's feet. Parasprites flew all around the Pinkie Pie, swarming her and the pipes that lay around her feet. The alicorn let out a small gasp as she realized that this pony looked a lot like her! Sure it was missing the horn and wings but it still had a similar figure.

"Anyways now that you know who I am, what's your name?" Pinkie Pie asked a grin overtaking her face. "Oh, I know! Later I should throw you a party! Everypony can be there and you'll make tons of friends!"

"That sounds nice. And um, about your question before I don't have a name. I've never needed one." The orange pony frowned. A name. She was supposed to have one but she didn't. Why not? After all she had named a large amount of the parasprites she cared for so why did it never occur to her to name herself.

"Hey, turn that frown upside down! I know! We can just choose a name for you! How about Sunset! It matches your coat!" Pinkie Pie gloated over her brilliance before turning her attention to the nameless pony before her. She gave her an expectant stare and anypony could have sworn the smile on her face grew.

"Sunset, I like it!" The alicorn exclaimed. She just loved to watch the sun go down and the moon come up. It was like a whole new world was awakening and she was seeing first hoof.

"Great! Now that you have a name, time to get down to more pressing matters. What's up with your eyes? I've never seen any pony with eyes like that before."

"Oh um. Actually I'm not sure why they look this way. I always thought this was normal. Same goes for my wings." Sunset half shrugged half grinned then said "I actually wanted to ask you something. Why were you bringing back my parasprites? They didn't do anything to drastic did they?"

"Oh no. They didn't do anything too bad. Just overran the town. Don't worry though, I brought them back!" Pinkie responded in an almost too cheery voice.

"WHAT!" Sunset shouted. "Oh no. I'm so sorry. I just take a nap and they go and do something like this!" The panicking pony was running all over unsure of what to do. "I'm so sorry!"

"Oh don't worry. After all we got them all back without too much trouble." Pinkie hugged the shaken pony and tried to assure her it was okay.

"Well, if you say so..." Sunset looked unsure then said "Shouldn't you go back to your friends? They are probably worrying."

"Oh ya! I should get going then. Next time I'll bring everypony along. They might not like your parasprites but I'm sure they'll like you!" Pinkie started to bound towards her home but stopped and said "I'll see you later!"

Sunset waved to her new friend then turned to her parasprites. They needed to have a talk. A long talk.
