Looking towards the Sunset

Meanwhile in the Crystal Empire a servant was being chewed out by the Palaces head maid for being so clumsy as to crack the mirror that Princess Twilight used to go to and from the other world. While this was going on Princess Celestia, Luna, Twilight and the mane six where on there way to the mirror to welcome Sunset home. But when they arrived they noticed the head maid a mare that looked to be in her forties and the maid was at least in her teens. "What is going on here, my little ponies?" asked Celestia not noticing the crack in the middle running down the middle of the mirror.

"I am sorry your Highness I didn't see you there," the head maid said and bowed to Celestia and the others, "I was just telling Ms. Cherry pit here that she needs to be more careful while cleaning she almost broke the mirror that Princess Twilight used to go to the human world."

Luna walked over to the mirror and when she saw the crack in it she looked back at her sister worriedly and said, "Sister if Sunset Shimmer was in the portal when this happened she might of been sent to whole other world entirely she could be in any number of worlds now or she might be dead." everypony gasped at the sound that Sunset might be dead. But Celestia looked like she was thinking intensely.

"Twilight do you still have the book that Sunset used to give you the message for me?" asked Celestia

Twilight nodded and turned to Spike and asked, "Spike do you still have the book on you or did you put it in the suitcase?"

"I have it right here Twilight. What should I write in it?" asked Spike.

"Write 'Dear Sunset Shimmer, are you still alive, and if so where are you?" said Pinkie Pie.

"Alright.....and done."

"Lets hope she is still alive and somewhere safe." said Celestia with some tears streaming down her face.

"It will be alright sister she be alright, I am sure of it." said Luna as she hugged her.

"I hope so sister I hope so."

Meanwhile in the Mojave Wasteland Sunset was explaining to Rowe where she is from and what she is. "Okay let me get this straight. Your a Unicorn that can use magic, from a land called Equestria that is populated by ponies and the only reason you are here is because you ran away a long time ago and wanted to go back." said Rowe

"For the hundredth time yes and I bet you still don't believe me." said Sunset.

"No, I do considering something in your pack is glowing and vibrating for the last five minutes."

"WHAT! Why didn't you tell me." yell Sunset as she opened her pack and pulled out her book and read 'Dear Sunset Shimmer are you alive, and if so where are you?'. She then wrote, 'Yes I am alive, but I am in...' she realized hasn't asked her questions of her own yet.

Temporarily forgetting the massage she was writing she asked Rowe, "So now that it is my turn to ask the questions, where am I?"

"Well you want a specific location e general version?" asked Rowe.

"I'll take the general version."

"Well you are in the Mojave Wasteland."

"The 'Mojave Wasteland' why is it called that?"

"Two hundred years ago, the world was consumed by nuclear fire and many people died but many other survived in massive under vaults. When they finally opened the world as they knew it was gone and it was replaced with a harsher more unforgiving place were the strong survived and the weak perished. Many factions eventually cropped up in this new world such as the NCR or New California Republic that wants to back the values of the old world they started in west as well the Brotherhood of Steel who is more interested in the preservation of old world technology. But to the east the combination of forty tribes created Ceaser's Legion the ones that you met yesterday the NCR might be bad but the Legion is worse."

"So where did you come from, if you don't mind me asking?"

"I came to the Mojave with two of my friends from a place back east in Utah a place called New Canaan. We were tracking Legion slave routes and saving slaves along the way. In fact you are lucky that I found you when I did."

"What do you mean, What would've happened to me if you didn't show up."

"I really shouldn't say mostly because it will shock you more than anything."

"Tell me please."

"Ok, well if you proved to carry more weight than other slaves and could last longer to they would of most likely breed you for more."

"You mean like...get me pregnant....then take the foal away?" Sunset said and started to tear up at the thought of other going through the same.

"Yes, but that is not going to happen because you are staying with me and I'll do everything in my power to get you home. You have the word of the desert rangers on that."

"Thank you Rowe." she said then she realized some thing, "I think I know a way to possibly get me home."

"Oh, and what would that be?"

"Celestia could find me a way home, but until then I guess I could stay with you."

"Well, write back to her and get sleep we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow. We have to find my partners then we will look for a way home for you on our end while they look for one on theirs. I'll stay up you get some sleep." He then walked off to the mouth of the mine leaving Sunset to watch him go and she wondered why she didn't tell him she could use magic now that she got her horn back and why she was still staring while he went. She quickly looked away with a lite blush coming to her face and wrote in her book, 'Dear Princess I am alive and well but I have wound up in a place known as the Mojave Wasteland. I have found some one who is willing to help me find a way home while you look for one on your end so please don't worry. I'll be back soon I hope.' with that the message was sent and she laid down and fell asleep.
