In Ponyville everything is perfectly fine, nopony having a care in the land of equestria. The citizens just working on their jobs and hobbies, meeting new friends, read newspapers and just lax off in their homes. The day is a summer morning and very few clouds in the sky. Princess Twilight Sparkle still mentors Starlight Glimmer, now reformed, learning more about friendship and live in her castle. Everything seems good among it's citiznes, until.....
Princess Twilight Sparkle receives a letter and she was surprised. The pony who wrote this is non-other than Sunset Shimmer.
"Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle,
I just got done with Canterlot High and receive a high school diploma and Human Pinkie Pie planned a farewell party and we had a great time together. So i've decided to go back to Equestria in a few days and then tell you all the things i have learned from the human world. So be prepared for my arrival and tell your friends about it.
sincerely, Sunset Shimmer,"
Princess Twilight Sparkle felt the excitement within her and claps her hooves, big smile on her face. But she just remembered that She didn't told Starlight about Sunset. Before she'll tell her friends about sunset, she needs to find her about her first student. She finds her wondering around the castle, confused about where she is. "Starlight, i need to tell you something." said Twilight.
"What is it?" said Starlight, curiously.
"I have another pupil before you became mine,"
"Who is it?"
"Her name is Sunset Shimmer and she is returning to Equestria from the portal i've found out during my first princess summit in the crystal empire,"
She then question about the portal twilight just spoke of.
"In a nutshell, she stole my crown, which holds an element of harmony and i followed her to a human world, hairless apes with clothes, and i've made friends to defeat her and I got my crown back. And she turned over a new leaf,"
Starlight began thinking about it, even though she's a little hesitant, she has the courage to meet this new friend twilight told her. So she nodded her head and agrees. "Alright, i'll meet Sunset Shimmer."
"That's great, and can you tag along with me and tell my friends about her?" said Twilight, excitedly.
So the two tag along and trotting their way to meet the rest of the Main 6 and Spike. When they trotted their way out of the castle, Twilight using wings and Starlight using her flight spell. Flying around Ponyville to find them. They found spike doing community service with Mayor Mare for a town hall meeting. They flown down to them and Twilight said to Mayor Mare "Can i have a moment with spike?"
"Yes you can," Mayor Mare replied.
"What is it Twilight?" said spike. And he looked curious at her face full of excitement.
She replied "It's Sunset, she's coming back!"
"That sounds great," spike was very happy about it. He then turns his attention towards Starlight and her face looks unsure about Sunset's arrival. "Starlight, why are you not sure about Sunset?" said Spike.
"I......just......I never met Sunset before and i didn't make new friends since i've become Twilight's student," said Starlight, nervously.
"It's going to be alright. Perhaps you two could be friends,"
So she nodded yes, still with the nervous expression on her face and continues on searching with Twilight for the rest of the Mane 6. Starlight carries spike on her back. Then a few minutes later they found them at a fair. Lots of ponies joined in on the party, both young and old, mare and stallion. Playing games from Apple bobbing to jump in the bounce house. Rainbow Dash and Applejack are still competing for the iron pony competition. Fluttershy is at a pet farm; taking care of animals, like she always does. Rarity trots around for jewelry and fabric stores. Pinkie Pie shoots her party cannon everywhere she goes. When the ponies in the festival notice Twilight and bow down in her presence.
Twilight then uses a magic spell that raise her voice like a mini bullhorn in her voice box. "My friends Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack and Rainbow Dash; I have news you should hear!!!"
"Okay." they all replied.
Twilight and Starlight starting to land and Spike jumps to the ground. The rest of the mane 6 meets with them. And Twilight explains everything what had happened. Having joyful faces, they will have preparations for her arrival. Pinkie Pie, as always, sets up a welcome party and Rarity making a dress.
Few Day Later....
The time is almost here; the mane 6, starlight and spike are sitting in front of the mirror. The glass of the portal starts to ripple and rippling more intense and a white light shines. Sunset Shimmer is here now and the mane 6 rejoiced in her presence. There was cake, cupcakes, balloons; just like a party.
Pinkie Pie shoots the cannons and shouts "Happy welcoming party!!!!!"
Sunset Shimmer having full of happiness, smiling and full of tears flowing down to her muzzle. Everyone walks in and gave her a big hug, expressing the same emotions she had. As she starts to regain her breath she then notices a mare with lander fur and purple mane with cyan stripes, looking very nervous and timid. She was looking curious and starts walking towards her. "Who are you?" She asked.
Starlight Glimmer, having a bit of courage and said "I..I...I'm Starlight, Starlight Glimmer."
"Nice to meet you."
"Thanks."
As soon Sunset starts to get to know her better. A flash of light knocks everyone in the room unconscious and teleported somewhere no one knows.
