Reflections Change

"Sunset?" asked Twilight. "What are you doing here?!" Sunset had never seen Twilight angry, as in REALLY angry.

Sunset rubbed the back off her neck, slightly nervous.

"Uh, h-hi Twilight," she chuckled. "I came to ask you for something,"

"What is it?" Twilight's voice softening a bit.

"I sort of need a place to stay," she said showing Twilight the saddle bag. Twilight raised an eyebrow.

"Sunset, I thought Canterlot High was your home,"

"That was before my human-self turned eighteen," Twilight stared in disbelief. "Human form, I am twenty five in this world"

        "So why does you turning eighteen have to do with this?"

        ”I have stayed at the adoption centre my whole human life, yet when I turned eighteen I got thrown out,"

        "Why? We don't do that here."

        "I have no idea. But since your princess, maybe you can help me find a place to stay?"

Twilight stared at the ground, biting her upper lip.

“I’ll see what I can do, until then; you may stay here for the night.”

Sunset grinned at the news.

“Follow me,”

Twilight led Sunset into out of the room and down the pink and purple crystal walls.

“Spike wasn’t kidding,” Sunset noted with wonder, “Nice castle.”

Twilight smiled slightly.

“It took a sacrifice to get it.”

Sunset frowned.

“No pony died did they?”

Twilight chuckled.

“No, thankfully, just a home.”

Sunset calmed down a bit. As the two equines walked down Twilight stared at Sunset.

“How are they?”

Sunset looked back at Twilight.

“The others, how are they?”

“They’re fine. Apple Jack had a good harvest and Rarity with her blind dates.”

“Blind dates? How old are they again?”

“Rarity and Apple Jack are nineteen, Rainbow Dash is eighteen and Pinkie and Fluttershy is seventeen.”

Twilight smiled a bit.

“Age is very different here.”

“I know,”

Twilight turned into a room. The walls were the same pink and purple crystal, a bed with the same feature with a similar purply blue cover. There was a dresser and wardrobe, bright pink and much smoother than the walls.

“You may stay here until I can find you a home.”

Sunset slowly walked into the room, gently stroking the soft cover of her bed.

She turned around and hugged Twilight.

“Thank you Twilight!”

Twilight wrapped a hoof around the unicorn.

“No problem. Now I must go and see to it that you have a home in the morning.”

Twilight left the room. Sunset waited until she was sure she was alone. She pulled her book out of her saddle bag along with her pen.

Dear Friends,

Twilight has given me a room in her castle; I think things are going to be great here. I miss you all.

   Your friend, Sunset Shimmer.

Sunset slid the book back into her bag.

“Spike! Spike!” Twilight called.

The purple dragon ran towards the circular throne room.

“Yes Twilight?”

“I need you to bring me every file of every available house in Ponyville.”

“Right on it.”

Spike raced out of the room. Twilight placed her hoof on her forehead, deep in thought.

“Here they are.”

Spike balanced three files on the side of her throne.

“Spike, I meant every as in all of them.”

“Those are all of them.”

“What do you mean?”

“Ponyville haven’t been making any new houses recently, and these aren’t even houses, they’re open logger rooms.”

“Well are there any new homes in Equestria?”

Spike left and returned with one file.

“Some pony is looking for a maid.”

Twilight sighed.

“I definitely not letting Sunset be a slave! Spike can you arrange a meeting with the three homes?”

“On it.”

Spike ran out again. Twilight laughed at how obedient her friend was, she could truly trust him.

Octavia, Vinyl, Blossom Forth and Rose Luck entered the throne room. Sunset entering from the opposite direction.

“Welcome all,” Twilight greeted. “I have asked you here to discuss your offer of a logger.”

“Um, that was three years ago,” Octavia said.

“Then, why is your file here?”

The white unicorn next to her slowly turned away from the group and tried to escape.

“Vinyl! Did you forget to actually take the file?!”

“Um, maybe?” Vinyl chuckled nervously.

Octavia groaned.

“I am sorry if we wasted your time Princess Twilight,”

“Th-that’s fine,”

Octavia chased the white unicorn out of the building.

“One down two to go,” Sunset muttered.

“So, this is Sunset Shimmer,” Twilight said pointing at Sunset. “She has spent many years in another world and needs a place to stay.”

“Well, what are you good at?” asked Rose Luck.

“Well, I’m good at many spells. Although many of my advance spells may be rusty.”

“Well I’m looking for particularly a house keeper whilst I’m on weather duty.” Blossom Forth said.

“What were you doing in that other world?” Rose Luck asked.

“Well for a while I sort of kind of took over a high school and attempted to over throw Equestria but I’m good now!”

“So you used to be an antagonist?”

“I still don’t trust that Discord fellow.” Blossom told Rose Luck.

“Look I made mistakes but that was three years ago!”

“Twilight you can’t expect me to let an evil pony into my home!”

“What with the Tirek incident, we can never trust any pony that once had evil in their heart!”

A few tears started to form in her eyes.

“She’s changed trust me!” Twilight argued.

“Yeah right,” Blossom Forth replied. “Come on Rose Luck, we’re outta here. And I don’t care if you’re a princess!”

The two mares exited the room.

“I’m so sorry Sunset.” Twilight placed a hoof on her shoulder.

“At least I can stay here right?” Sunset asked.

“About that.” Twilight began. Sunset smile vanished. “I can’t let you stay. I stretched the limits of you staying. You aren’t in the records of Equestria, and this castle only allows those who have records of an actual ruler or have a well-known relationship with me. This castle has the files of every pony in Equestria and if they are worthy. For you. You don’t even exist. There for you are counted as an intruder and must leave within one week, or you will be banished to Tartarus.”

“How do you even know this?!”

“Experience.”

“I don’t believe you! You expect me to believe you? We’re friends!”

“We are!”

Sunset growled and ran back to her room.
