Sunset Shimmer felt a sensation similar to when she went from the human world to Equestria, only without the transformation into a unicorn. When she arrived on the other side, she found herself in a clearing surrounded by trees, a fancy mirror behind her.

She walked forward looking around a bit, but turned when she heard her friends fall in behind her.

“Is everyone alright?” Sunset Shimmer asked.

“Yeah...” Applejack said getting up, “Holy...”

“This is creepy...” Trixie said, looking around. It looked like it was night time, but the sky didn't seem dark blue. It looked more black, if that was possible. The moon was full and white, giving the entire area a very dark and horrifying feel.

“Are we in another dimension?” Applejack asked, “Is this... Equestria?”

Sunset Shimmer shook her head, telling them that Equestria was beautiful, and that they should have turned into ponies when they arrived.

“Silver Spoon is up ahead,” Pinkie Pie said, “I can see the mansion in the distance.”

Sunset Shimmer looked in the direction Pinkie Pie was pointing in, and sure enough she saw what looked like the roof of a mansion. That confirmed it, Silver Spoon was definitely trapped in this world.

“Let's go,” Sunset Shimmer commanded, resting the sword on her shoulder and taking the lead. The others nodded and followed after her.

They walked in silence, the only sounds being their footsteps in the grass and the pounding in Sunset Shimmer's heart, which she was sure the others could hear too. It took a few minutes, but eventually they reached the front gate of the mansion.

So close, the girls could really tell how scary the mansion was. It looked somewhat like what you'd see in a horror movie. There were even crows flying around.

“This is definitely not my inner desire,” Trixie said.

“If it's anyone's, they need ta reevaluate their minds,” Applejack said.

Pinkie Pie walked forward, but a low growl caught everyone's attention, making them stop.

“What in tarnation?!” Applejack asked looking up, “Guys, look up there!”

Sunset Shimmer looked up and saw what looked like bats flying down toward them. They were bigger than most bats though, and they had masks on their faces.

“What in the world are those things?!” Trixie asked stepping back. Sunset Shimmer tightened the grip on her sword, and was about to jump at them and strike, but stopped at the sound of a gun going off.

One of the bats fell down injured. Sunset looked in the direction of the forest and saw Adagio pointing a small rifle forward. What was she doing there?

“Shadows,” Adagio said sauntering forward, her gun still pointed forward, “These monsters are the denizens of this domain. Anything else is just an illusion.”

“Adagio?” Applejack asked, “What 're you doin'-”

“These things...” Adagio growled, “it's because of them that Aria and Sonata...” she looked down trembling, “It's all their fault... THEIR FAULT!!!”

“Girls... something's wrong...” Pinkie Pie said.

“What do you mean?” Trixie asked.

“Something is coming out of her,” Pinkie Pie continued trembling, “I don't know how, but I can feel it...”

Sunset looked at Pinkie Pie concerned, and then turned back to Adagio, who was looking down trembling in anger. She also noticed that the “shadows” or whatever weren't paying attention to them anymore, instead looking at Adagio.

“I'll kill you...” Adagio said, “I'll kill ALL OF YOU!!!!”

She screamed shooting at the bats as they swooped down toward Adagio.

“Look out!” Trixie shouted.

What happened next was something. Adagio screamed loudly holding her head as red energy came off of her, “PERSONA!!!” after she shouted that, something like glass shattering was heard, and above Adagio appeared a spirit of some sort.

They were about twice the size of Agadio, a female with long full black hair wearing a gray and white dress that not only came up in the front showing off her legs, but was opened in the front of her breasts save for two slits covering her nipples. She wore black high heels and fishnet stockings, and on her back was a large buster sword. Her eyes were covered with a white mask that came up at the sides with what looked like devil horns.

The spirit swung her sword around, knocking all the bats back instantly. Pinkie Pie hid behind Sunset Shimmer as Trixie stepped back a bit. Applejack was simply frozen in fear it seemed.

As for Sunset Shimmer, she couldn't take her eyes off the spirit. Something about it resonated within her, and it felt like something was trying to escape from within her.

“Regan...” Adagio growled looking almost insane with rage, “Rip them apart!”

The spirit, apparently named Regan, rushed forward as another swarm of bats flew around her and Adagio. Applejack shook her head and turned to everyone.

“While they're focusin hard on her, let's get movin!” Applejack said.

“I'm with her!” Trixie said. Sunset Shimmer nodded and took Pinkie Pie's hand leading her into the mansion, Trixie and Applejack following them.

They ran inside the mansion for a while, which somehow seemed bigger than it did outside. Actually, the interior of the mansion was more like a maze. Sunset Shimmer's chest was starting to hurt from all the running, and it looked like they were lone now, so she and Pinkie Pie stopped running.

“Sunset Shimmer, are you okay?” Pinkie Pie asked. Sunset nodded trying to catch her breath as Applejack ran up to them.

“Well, from what we saw there, that proves that Adagio still has power,” Applejack said.

“That felt different than Equatrian magic though,” Pinkie Pie said, “I don't know how though...”

“It wasn't as pure,” Sunset Shimmer said, thinking about how chaotic that spirit felt.

“Yeah, from what Ah saw, it looked like summonin it drove her insane,” Applejack said. Pinkie Pie looked around realizing they were one girl short.

“Um, where's Trixie?” she asked.

“Huh?” Applejack turned around, realizing that she wasn't there, “Shoot! We must've gotten separated in the maze!”

“We have to look for her,” Sunset Shimmer stated.

“It isn't safe to be here alone,” Pinkie Pie said, “Those monsters might get a hold of her.”

“Damn it,” Applejack looked down, “Let's go. Ah think Ah remember the path we took.”

They back tracked a bit through the maze, shocked that they didn't see anymore monsters. Maybe they were all fighting Adagio outside. Sunset wasn't sure if she should have been happy that they weren't bothering them, or worried for her.

They heard a muffled scream in the distance. That sounded like Trixie!

“She's up ahead!” Applejack said running ahead. Sunset and Pinkie Pie ran after her, arriving in what looked like the main living room.

Lying on the couch, wrists tied behind her back, ankles tied to an arm on the couch, a black band around her arms, and the same black band around her mouth, was Trixie.

“Trixie!” Applejack called out, Sunset Shimmer and Pinkie Pie running over to Trixie, “Hang on, sugar, we'll get ya outta here.”

Trixie looked at them with a pleading expression. As they looked to try and undo the bindings, they were shocked to see that there wasn't a way to untie them. They couldn't even see how they were put on in the first place.

“Sunset, try cutting them with the sword,” Pinkie Pie suggested. Sunset Shimmer nodded and tried, disheartened as the bindings didn't budge at all. They were too tough even for the sword to untie.

“Damn! These things 're on here good!” Applejack said. She tried simply pulling them, hoping they would break, but they didn't even loosen enough for Trixie to get her wrists free, “That ain't gonna work.”

“What are we going to do?” Pinkie Pie asked, “We can't just leave her like this!”

“Trixie doesn't see why not. After all, that has been is nothing but garbage anyway!” A familiar voice said. Everyone turned to the door and saw another Trixie standing there, but this Trixie was wearing a dark blue witch's dress, purple witch's hat and cape, and was holding a magic wand. Unlike the normal Trixie, her eyes were demonic red.

“Wait? Two Trixies?!” Applejack asked. The bound Trixie screamed to get their attention, and then shook her head frantically. Sunset Shimmer turned back to the other Trixie and walked forward.

“Did you do this to my friend?” Sunset Shimmer asked.

“But of course! Trixie couldn't have her roaming around now could she?” the other Trixie said, her voice sounding high and mighty.

“Why?” Pinkie Pie asked, “What did Trixie do to you?”

“She didn't do anything to Trixie,” the other Trixie said, “Trixie simply wants to give the people what they want, and that's a show no one will forget.”

“What the people want?” Applejack asked, “What does that have ta do with tiein up the real Trixie here?”

“Is she the real Trixie? Hm... Trixie isn't so sure about that,” the alternate Trixie said.

“Huh?”

“When you think of Trixie, what do you think of? Glamor, magic, and above all, passion! That faker over there is a mere shadow of who we used to be! Now, she's just a boring old student trying to make it in school and make “friends”, like any of that matters,” the imposter Trixie started laughing, “Trixie doesn't need any friends! What Trixie needs are fans. Adoring fans watching Trixie on the stage! After all, Trixie is the best.”

“You...” Applejack said through gritted teeth as the imposter Trixie walked past them over to the real Trixie, who was now crying and struggling to get away from the imposter.

“Trixie used to actually care about life, and about where she was going,” the imposter continued, leaning in close to the real Trixie as she sobbed, “This thing here is washed up, sleeping in class, caring about other people's opinions, she's lost all will to live!” The imposter looked up as if having an epiphany, “Trixie has a wonderful idea! Why don't we just leave this one here, and I'll go out with you instead?”

“What?!” Pinkie Pie asked, “You've got to be kidding?! There's no way we're leaving Trixie here!”

“But you won't be leaving Trixie here,” the imposter Trixie said, “After all, I'm Trixie too. I'm just as much her as she is me.”

Applejack laughed, “That's a good one! Yer not Trixie! Ah've gotten a chance ta know Trixie, and she ain't a pompous bitch like you!”

“But that's just not true,” the imposter Trixie said, “She is the same pompous bitch, only now she's trying to hide it. But why should I? I am the best, after all,” she smiled devilishly, “Once I'm out in the real world, everyone will bow down to the Great and Powerful Trixie!” she turned to Sunset Shimmer, “What do you say? Will you let me come out with you? I promise I'll be even more fun than that Trixie.”

“We're not leaving her!” Sunset Shimmer said gripping her sword. The real Trixie looked like she was going to burst into tears hearing Sunset Shimmer say that, and was clearly smiling through her gag.

“You deny Trixie...?” the imposter Trixie said, a black aura surrounding her, “Oh no... it doesn't work like that... Trixie isn't spending another second in this darkness... if you won't let me out... then Trixie... will just go THROUGH YOU!!!”

She was engulfed in a black mist, and an explosion of energy pushed Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Sunset Shimmer into the back wall. When they came to, the mist cleared and they saw something big forming in the black mist.

It was a large humanoid monster dressed like a black and purple jester. It's hat was black and had skulls at the ends instead of bells, and its face was made up with white clowns make-up almost making it look like an evil clown. The monster's shoes were bladed, and it was juggling three torches constantly.

“W-what is that thing?! Pinkie Pie asked.

“Some sort of monster! Ah bet it's the same as those things outside!” Applejack reasoned.

The monster jumped up into the air and did a drop kick toward the girls who all scrambled away, Pinkie Pie and Applejack taking one direction, and Sunser Shimmer taking the other one.

“Trying to run away?!” the monster asked, sounding a lot like Trixie still, “Run all you want! There's no escape for any of you!”

The monster turned to Sunset Shimmer, who was right in front of the real Trixie. Trixie screamed in a pleading manner, but Sunset Shimmer turned to her and smiled, assuring her that everything would be okay. Trixie looked like she was blushing a bit, but she calmed down and nodded.

Sunset Shimmer turned to face the monster again, this time holding her sword forward as if ready to fight.

“What in tarnation are ya thinkin?!” Applejack shouted.

“Get out of there Sunset!” Pinkie Pie screamed.

The monster jumped again and tried to drop kick Sunset Shimmer, who did the first thing she could think of and block. She didn't expect anything to happen. In fact, she expected she would go flying back to her death.

She didn't expect the monster to get pushed back itself, as if hitting a barrier.

Everyone was silent, unable to process what happened. Even Sunset Shimmer was too surprised to move. Suddenly, she felt that same sharp pain in her head.

Thou art I... and I am thou...

Call forth my name...

And release me...

When the pain subsided, Sunset Shimmer looked in her hand and saw a Tarot Card. The picture of the card was that of the woman she saw before in the mirror. The one wearing the black and white dress, and the clawed glove and broad sword.

Looking at the card, something within Sunset Shimmer awakened. She felt invigorated, and empowered, so much that she couldn't help but smile. She could do it. She could beat this monster. She knew what she had to do. All she had to do was set herself free, which meant crushing the card in her hand.

“What the...” the monster Trixie said, “Where did that power come from?!”

“Per...so...na!”

Sunset Shimmer crushed the card, and screamed as she was engulfed in a golden flame. Behind her, the spirit within the card appeared, sword already out and glaring at the monster. Sunset Shimmer for her part looked at the monster with a confident smirk.

This was her Persona, Cordelia.

The spirit vanished, and Sunset Shimmer held her sword forward in a basic two handed stance.

“I am a shadow! The true self!” the jester monster said, confirming that it was indeed a shadow, “This is Trixie's show, and there's only enough room for one of us on stage!”

Shadow Trixie rushed over to Sunset Shimmer again, but this time she was ready. Sunset jumped to the side, rolled on the floor, and held her hand out as the card formed.

“Persona!” Sunset Shimmer shouted, crushing the card in her hand. In front of her, Cordelia appeared and rushed over to the monster, slashing it a few times with her sword, and kicked the monster into a wall. She vanished shortly after.

The monster threw one of the torches it was juggling at Sunset Shimmer, actually knocking her to the ground. Seeing its opening, Shadow Trixie drop kicked Sunset, knocking her back against a wall.

“Sunset Shimmer!” Applejack cried out.

“I can't watch this!” Pinkie Pie said covering her eyes.

Sunset Shimmer forced herself to stand up just in time to see Shadow Trixie prepare itself to charge. Right when it did, Sunset summoned Cordelia again and rolled out the way as Cordelia was backed against the wall by the monster.

Sunset Shimmer felt the impact herself, as if she and Cordelia were connected. Was that what the voice meant? Was that Cordelia telling her that they were connected?

If that was the case, she needed to help herself.

Sunset Shimmer rushed over to Shadow Trixie and slashed at her with her sword, actually pushing the monster back. Cordelia fell to her knees and vanished.

Sunset Shimmer looked at Shadow Trixie, realizing that she herself could damage the monster. In her head she imagined herself talking to Cordelia, telling her to coordinate their attacks. She almost swore she saw Cordelia nod her head.

“So you've got some power!” Shadow Trixie said, “That's fine. Trixie doesn't have to hold back anymore!”

Guard!

Sunset Shimmer listened to her inner voice and guarded, just in time as Shadow Trixie cast another fire spell at Sunset Shimmer. While it did hurt, she didn't fall over this time.

She then charged over to the Shadow doing a spin slash. As the shadow was thrown back, Sunset summoned Cordelia, who appeared flipping in the air doing a vertical slash. When she came down, she vanished allowing Sunset Shimmer to get in and slash a few times.

The shadow pushed Sunset Shimmer back, but she caught herself and held her hand out preparing to summon her Persona again.

“CORDELIA!!!”

She crushed the card in her hand, and this time Cordelia pointed her left clawed hand forward, casting what looked like an ice spell at Shadow Trixie, knocking her down.

“Sunset! It's down!” Pinkie Pie shouted, “Hit it again!”

Sunset wasted no time rushing over to the monster and doing a spinning vertical slash upward. As the Shadow was knocked up a bit, Sunset summoned Cordelia, who followed up by thrusting her sword diagonally upward impaling the shadow.

Sunset Shimmer stepped back and prepared herself as her opponent stood up.

“Why?! Why are you interrupting Trixie's show?! Trixie hates hecklers like you! Begone!”

Shadow Trixie charged up her energy, and then got in a defensive stance.

“Ah don't like that,” Applejack said.

“I think...” Pinkie Pie started, suddenly looking really worried, “Sunset Shimmer, defend! Defend!”

Not questioning it, Sunset Shimmer got in a defensive stance again. This time when the shadow cast its fire spell, it felt a bit stronger. Not enough to knock her down, but she was blocking at the time. When she looked at Shadow Trixie again, it looked like she was getting tired.

The enemy is weakened...

Now is our chance to end it...

Sunset Shimmer held her hand out to the card as it appeared, “Persona!”

She crushed the card, and Cordelia pointed her clawed hand forward, casting the ice spell again, which Sunset felt like calling “Bufu” for some reason. Maybe that was it's name.

Shadow Trixie fell to the floor again. This time Sunset Shimmer summoned Cordelia a second time, and she rushed toward Shadow Trixie slashing her a few times with her blade, and then impaling her. As Cordelia vanished, Shadow Trixie fell to her knees screaming, and fading away in a black mist.

Sunset Shimmer breathed out in relief, and turned to face the spirit. This spirit, called a Persona, was a part of her. It was her, and she was the spirit, the Persona Cordelia.

As Cordelia vanished, Pinkie Pie ran up to Sunset Shimmer and hugged her, “That was AWESOME!!! You were all “Persona” this, and “Persona” that, and were like “swoosh, swing,” and BANG!!! Icicles...” she said, fading out to make it seem more mystical, “You were like a super hero!”

“Was that somethin ya learned in Equestria?” Applejack asked. Sunset Shimmer shook her head, “Well, however ya learned that, Ah'm glad ya did.”

Sunset and the others turned to Trixie, seeing the bindings disappear. She sat up and nursed her wrists looking down a bit.

“Hey, ya alright?” Applejack asked as she, Pinkie Pie, and Sunset Shimmer walked over to her. She looked up suddenly, cheeks a little rosy as she looked at Sunset Shimmer.

“U-um, yeah. I'm fine! Just relieved to be untied. Seriously, that was not fun at all,” Trixie said standing up.

“I'm glad that you're safe,” Sunset Shimmer said, making Trixie blush even more.

“Sheesh... don't get all sappy on me,” she said, despite clearly being happy.

They all turned to the Shadow Trixie, who had reverted back to her human like state and was just standing there looking at them with a slightly saddened expession.

“Ya ain't got much ta say now, huh?” Applejack said angrily. Surprisingly, Trixie placed a hand on Applejack's shoulder, “Huh?”

“That's not fair,” Trixie said, surprising everyone.

“Trixie, this bitch tied ya up and threatened ta leave ya here ta die!” Applejack said.

“Yeah, but what if she was desperate to leave?” Trixie said, “Think about it, would you want to be stuck in a place like this forever?” Trixie turned to Sunset Shimmer, “I've got to be strong too, right?”

Sunset Shimmer nodded smiling.

Trixie walked over to her Shadow self, “That's what it was, right? You just wanted to leave this place? It's true, that after last year I lost a lot of passion. I realized that being like this is what got me in so much trouble before. There were a lot of people who I tossed aside in order to become someone great and powerful, but in the end I just ended up alone. You know, I don't see a reason why we both can't just leave this place. That's it. Why don't you come with me?”

Trixie held out her hand for her shadow self to take. Shadow Trixie looked at the hand, biting her lip nervously, but then smiled and took her hand.

“From now on, it's you and me, alright?” Trixie said. Shadow Trixie nodded, and began glowing brightly. She briefly vanished, but was then replaced with another spirit similar to Cordelia. While Cordelia was female, this spirit could have been either male or female. It had long purple hair, and wore a black magician's tuxedo and top hat. Their eyes were covered by a white mask, and they had a confident smile.

Trixie had faced her other self, and received the facade to overcome life's expectations, the Persona Dionysus.

Dionysus vanished, and turned into a tarot card that slowly fell to Trixie and disappeared as if going into her soul. She then turned to everyone, “I think... I just got the same power as you...” she said to Sunset Shimmer.

“Way to go!” Pinkie Pie said, “Now you're going to be cool like Sunset Shimmer!”

Trixie laughed, “Well, I don't know about that, but I do hope I can at least not get in the way,” she then smiled to Sunset Shimmer, “Well? What do you say? Can I fight too?”

“I would be honored to have you by my side,” Sunset Shimmer said. Oddly Trixie looked away blushing again.

“Geez... did you have to say it like that though?” Trixie said, in spite of herself.

“Now, Ah think we wasted enough time,” Applejack said, “Let's go find that girl an' get outta here.”

“I think...” Pinkie Pie said looking past the group, “Yeah! I think she's this way!”

“Then let's hurry,” Trixie said, “She can't get out of here herself. If her shadow self has her trapped like mine did, she's in trouble.”

Sunset Shimmer nodded, beginning to feel like they were a team. If Trixie could use Persona too, maybe they could figure out exactly what was going on.

Sunset Shimmer and her friends ran deeper into the mansion, Pinkie Pie taking the lead.

When they made it to the master bedroom, they heard a loud scream inside. They burst through the doors to see Adagio standing over the remains of a large shadow. It must have been Silver Spoon's shadow self.

“We were too late,” Adagio said.

“What do ya mean?” Applejack asked.

“The girl was consumed by the shadows here,” Adagio explained, moving to the side. Sure enough, the bed was vacant. Pinkie Pie covered her mouth in horror shaking her head.

“Oh no...” Pinkie Pie said, Applejack putting her arms around her as she cried.

Trixie fell to her knees, and then punched the ground, “Damn it! It's my fault! If I hadn't gotten captured myself then...!”

“No one here was to blame,” Adagio said, “She had already been here a week. It takes the shadows that long to become strong enough to consume the person,” Adagio sauntered past Sunset Shimmer, who was staring at the vacant bet in shock, “I see two of you awakened to the power as well,” Sunset turned to look at Adagio with her eyes, “Use it as you wish, just don't get in my way.”

With that Adagio left. Sunset Shimmer walked over to the bed, still unable to process what happened. Did the girl die? Or was it something much worse?

“Hey,” Applejack called to Sunset Shimmer, “Let's head home.”

Sunset Shimmer nodded slowly, helping Trixie up as they left the mansion, and the mirror world.

The four girls walked out of the antique shop, quietly. There wasn't much they could say, really. They set out to do something, and they failed. Sunset Shimmer thought about her three friends, who must have felt varying degrees of emotions.

Applejack took things very personally, and always tried to help those when she could. She must have felt horrible, not just because she couldn't help Silver Spoon, but because she was powerless the entire time.

Poor Pinkie Pie hadn't stopped crying since. Since the beginning she was being guided by an odd sixth sense telling her to take action. She listened to it, and ended up failing, almost as if she failed her life's purpose.

And then there was Trixie, who probably felt the most guilt. If she hadn't gotten captured, they might have been able to get to Silver Spoon in time. Sunset didn't know for certain, but she could definitely understand the pain she was in.

“Ah'll walk Pinkie Pie home,” Applejack said, “If anything happens, y'all give me a call, alright?”

Sunset Shimmer nodded to Applejack, and then looked to Pinkie Pie, who was starting to calm down.

“I'll be fine,” Pinkie Pie said, “Well, no... I won't be fine, but I can guarantee you that I'll be smiling again by tomorrow morning.”

Sunset Shimmer nodded, saying good bye to them and then turned to Trixie as they walked off.

“I hate myself so much right now,” Trixie said, shocking Sunset Shimmer, “It's my fault that Silver Spoon is gone... I got separated from Applejack, and then I messed around and got captured by my shadow self. Because of that...” Trixie broke down crying, burying her face in her hands, “Because you wasted time trying to save me, that little girl died alone! It's all my fault!” she sobbed.

“There was no way you could have known,” Sunset Shimmer said.

“But if I had been stronger, then Silver Spoon wouldn't have died in there! It's bad enough that I even let that happen in the first place! Now I get to live while she died!” Trixie looked into Sunset Shimmer's eyes, “I'm a horrible person, Sunset! All my life I've belittled others, talked myself up, everything my shadow said was true! I used to be JUST. LIKE. THAT!!!” Trixie broke down again holding onto Sunset Shimmer's jacket, “Why, Sunset Shimmer?! Why does she have to die while someone like me gets to live?!” she sobbed, crying so hard now that she could barely stand.

Sunset Shimmer embraced Trixie, an action that caught the crying teenager off guard. After a second, she wrapped her arms around Sunset Shimmer, crying until she had calmed down enough to speak again.

“Silver Spoon isn't going to be the only one, is she?” Trixie asked. Sunset Shimmer shook her head, “Then when it happens again, I'm going to fight the hardest I can. With this power, I'll protect everyone. Also...” she looked away blushing, “I want to become someone you can be proud of.”

Listening to Trixie talk, Sunset Shimmer felt a faint bond form between her and Trixie.

“!”

Thou art I and I am thou
Thou has established a new bond

This bond shalt light the way to thy destiny

Thou shalt be blessed when fusing Personas of the Magician Arcana

Sunset Shimmer realized that she and Trixie didn't have each other's contact information.

“Hey, want to trade numbers?” Sunset Shimmer asked, feeling somewhat bolder by asking upfront like that. Once again, Trixie was blushing (she sure was doing that a lot).

“O-oh! Right. I mean, I was going to ask you... but you beat me to it. Not like I was in competition or anything! I was just... ugh... you know what? Why don't I shut up and just give you my phone number?”

After trading numbers, Trixie looked a bit brighter, “Thanks for holding me like that, Sunset. You know what? You're really cool. I think this is the start of a great friendship.”

Sunset Shimmer nodded in agreement and hugged Trixie again. She had a feeling that before this year was out, she and Trixie would become like sisters.

Sunset Shimmer walked a bit more with Trixie until they reached their turning points, and then headed home.

Wednesday, September 6th
Evening

When Sunset Shimmer walked into the house, she saw both Celestia and Luna sitting at the table talking. They looked up at Sunset Shimmer smiling.

“Welcome home,” Celestia said.

“You look down,” Luna said, “Are you still upset about this morning?”

Sunset Shimmer was tempted to tell them what happened, but they'd probably freak out. This wasn't Equestria related after all.

“I'm just tired,” Sunset Shimmer partially lied. It seemed like they bought it.

“Why don't you get some rest then?” Celestia suggested. Sunset decided that was still the best idea, so she said her good nights to her guardians, and then went right to bed.
