Everypony thought it was weird that the royal family just suddenly shut down the palace, with no reason whatsoever.

Especially young Twilight.

It was so alike her sister to just shut her out and and the palace as well.

Twilight kept asking her parents for a reason for the sudden shut-out but nopony is telling her anything!

But, every day at 1:00 of the day, Twilight would walk over to her sister's bedroom where Sunset hid out, she would sing.

Can we play, pretty please Sunny?

I haven't see you for so very long.

I love you dearly.

Do you wanna play with me?

We could play with the sand,

But every time she did, Sunset would give the same response of "I'm sorry, Twilight. But I can't."

And as time went on, Twilight soon gave up on trying to play with her sister.

But still, she sang until she heard her older sister's response.

Twilight loved her sister more than anything but wished she could know if her sister felt the same way.

As time went on, Twilight and Sunset soon grew up to beautiful young mares.

But, inside of Sunset's bedroom, Shining Armor and Cadence were often trying to help their oldest daughter keep control of their powers.

"I'm scared! IT'S GETTING STRONGER!" the princess yelled.

"Thinking that will only make it worse, calm down." Shining Armor stepped towards his daughter.

"NO! DON'T TOUCH ME! Please, or I'll hurt you." Cadence and Shining Armor looked at one another with worry.

When the two sisters were at their oldest, their parents were setting off to a trip.

The trip was to travel to the wedding of Fluttershy, their cousin, and her fiance Big Macintosh.

The sisters wanted to visit their cousin but their parents insisted they stay in Canterlot.

When Twilight was going to say good-bye to her parents, she went past Sunset's door.

She sighed as memories came back to her.

Twilight went running into her parents' room, she crushed them in a hug.

"See you in two weeks." her parents returned the hug.

Once their younger daughter finished saying her good-byes, their older one greeted them at the end of the stairs.

Sunset bowed to her parents and whispered "Do you have to go?"

Her father nodded and touched her shoulder.

"You'll be fine, Sunset. You have Twilight and everypony in the castle to be around." Sunset sighed and nodded.

While her parents were away however, their boat ended up sinking, their daughters had no idea what to say.

But only Twilight went to the funeral, Sunset couldn't bother to come out.

Once the funeral was over, Twilight walking to her sister's bedroom sadly, she went to knock on Sunset's door.

Although she was hesitant to do so.

But she eventually knocked on the door.

"

Sunset? Please, I know you're in there. Everypony's asking where you've been. They have courage, and I'm trying too. For I am here for you, just let me in. We only have each other, just you and me. What are we gonna do? Do you wanna play?"

Twilight had tears forming in her eyes.

But she didn't know about the fact that Sunset, who was so sad and worried, had sand and warmth all around in her bedroom.
