My sister has ruined my life. And she doesn't even know I exist

My sister sunset shimmer is my parents favourite. Until I am more like her I am not considered part of the family. I just want to be loved by mother and father.

Moonlight shines

I am going to princess Twilight.

She can travel to sunsets world.

She can take me to meet my sister.

Mother is telling me I am not to go.

I need to run to ponyville.

I need to see her.

I need to get her help.

I need to make her come home.

Just for a day.

Just to let mother and father know that I am not a disappointment.

Just to do what sisters are supposed to do.

I have made it to twilights home.

I have made it to the portal.

Knock.

Knock.

Knock.

The door is slowly creeping open.

A small dragon is at the door.

I tell him of my goal and he leads me inside.

He takes me to the princess.

I tell her what I must do and she objects.

"It is too dangerous"

I begin to cry.

I have nowhere to go without sunset.

I was told not to go.

I will be rejected be mother and father.

She gives in and shows me to the portal.

Shows me the way to my sister.

I feel it's magic.

I feel it's power.

I enter the new realm.

I enter the realm of sunset.

I take a minute to adjust to my new body and begin the hunt for sunset.

I have the same hair as her but mine is purple and silver.

I am the moon and the night sky and she is the sun and the rising sky.

We are different yet the same.

Twilights close behind me.

She leads me into the great castle in front of us to a small room full of instruments.

I see her there.

I see my sister.

She is confused.

I step forward and we see each other truly for the first time.

She knows.

I know.

The group around her looks shocked as they realise.

She asks me who I am.

"I am Moonlight Shine and I am your sister!" I say as my eyes begin to water.

Hers begin to too.

"I have a sister?" She asks.

I hear a crying sound behind me.

The girls sunset was with are crying.

All but the farm girl.

We sit together on the piano.

She will return for a day.

She will help me get our parents love.

She knows what hatred feels like.

She knows what it is to want love.

We walk to the portal and enter.

Sunset and I take the train together.

We walk to our front door.

Mother opens it and sees me there.

She begins to shout about how stupid I am.

Until she sees sunset.

Sunset is taken into a deep embrace.

Sunset is taken inside.

The door is slammed in my face.

I am not welcome there.

Sunset will fix this.

Sunset will help me.

I hear an angry shout from inside.

I hear my mother scream get out.

Sunset leaves the house and the door is bolted again.

She tells me she wanted me to be let in.

She tells me that mother calls me the family mistake.

She tells me mother resents me because I have another mother.

Father resents me because I was his accident.

Because I was his mistake.

Sunset hugs me.

Sunset tell me to come home with her.

That I am a star in her eyes for putting up with them for so long.

The sister I once hated, I now love.

The sister I once hated is now my only family.

The only one that accepts me.

The only one I love.

She tells me she will take a backseat for a while.

So after sunset.

Moonlight shines.

After sunset

I have only ever heard stories of my sister Sunset Shimmer.

My father speaks of her rarely but when she is mentioned he praises her.

She was so skilled at Magic.

She was accepted into Celestia's school for gifted unicorns just like mother, father and I.

Sunset had some crazy power and was accepted as Celestia's own personal student.

I was able to cast an age spell.

I am only 7 and I cast a perfect age spell.

Yet I can never be as good as Sunset Shimmer.

That is what mother tells me.

"Sunset was Celestia's personal student and you can't even get an A*+ award!"

Only princess Luna understands.

Luna visits the school regularly and she saw one of my mothers letters of ridicule.

Luna has been tutoring me so I can impress her.

She was living in the shadow of an older sister.

She was resented by her family and left alone.

She relates to the moon and her sister relates to the sun like me and my sister.

Sunset Shimmer and Moonlight Shine.

In a way I am Luna's personal student.

If I told mother she would be impressed.

If I told father he may even smile

But it would still not be enough to beat Sunset Shimmer.

"Sunset was Celestia's student. Celestia's the important one"

I made the mistake of lashing out at them once.

"Well at least I'm still here!" I shouted

"At least I didn't run away to another universe!"

I was left on the doorstep that night.

I was too badly beaten to move so I just lay there.

I wish I had met my sister.

I wish I could tell her how much mother and father miss her.

They don't want me.

They never wanted me.

They just wanted a new sunset.

But I wasn't good enough for them.

I couldn't ever be as perfect as sunset.

I couldn't ever be as smart as sunset.

I couldn't ever be as gifted as sunset shimmer was.

I am just the sloppy seconds.

The only option they had.

Today we were told that sunset is a hero in the realm she resides in.

Sunset saved the school from a siren attack.

Sunset is friends with the elements of harmony.

Even though she isn't here she still beats me at everything.

Just as mother and father were starting to think well of me.

Sunset has ruined my life.

She doesn't even know I exist.

I want her to come home just to meet me.

I want her to come home just to tell mother and father that I am good.

Just to compliment me on my magic.

I just want to be loved.

I just want to have a family that cares.

They will never care as long as sunset has existed.

I can't stop her from being real.

My life can never be happy.

Sunset has cursed me to have eternal shame.

I am just a burden on the family name.
