Sunset looked around her room. Everywhere she looked reminders of her friends, ex-friends she reminded her self. Tears softly streaked down her face, she remembered how hard she had worked after the fall formal to regain the trust and to make friendship with the others and now, well what did she have now. Her so-called friends who had called her family had abandoned her. She no family or friends in Equestria, she doubted that Celestia would welcomed her back with open arms. She reached over to her desk, she grabbed four pieces of paper, envelopes and a pen slowly she began to write.

“Why in tarnation Sunset do this, and why now, was her reformation just an act?” Applejack questioned the others. Rainbowdash, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkiepie, were sitting round a table at Sugar Cube Conner.
“Look AJ maybe the simple truth is that Sunset was a bitch and will always a bitch” Rainbowdash harshly commented.
“They do say that a leopard can’t change its spots.” Rarity
“Exactly”
“But why would Sunset do this, before when she did horrible things she was clever and you could never trace anything back to her, but in comparison this is child’s play.”
“I agree with Rarity, whoever this meanie is it isn’t Sunset” Pinkiepie
“And how exactly do you know that” RD
“Pinkie sense” Pinkiepie smiled.
“Girls I need to tell you something” Fluttershy announced as she walked into Sugar Cube Conner. The others looked up surprised, they were not used to Fluttershy being assertive.
“What is it darling?”
“I was walking here from the shelter and I saw some boys from our school pelting Sunset with stones.”
“Is she alright?” Pinkie asked, her poufy hair had deflated down.
“I don’t know, because as I tried to approach her she ran off crying.”
“Don’t you think she deserves it” Rainbowdash accused “After all remember how she used to bully you and what she has been doing recently”
“Rainbow, I have forgiven Sunset about what happened in the past and I think we have all jumped to conclusions a bit quick about this whole Anon-A-Miss thing” Fluttershy paused to catch her breath “And’ she continued “I’m going to go round to Sunsets house now and find out her side of the story. Like a true friend”
“She will obviously say she didn’t do anything, it’s not like she would own up. Fluttehy you are being to kind here, Sunset it just a bully it’s just who she is.” Rainbowdash retorted.
“All of you think this?” Fluttershy asked with tears in her eyes.
“I don’t know who it is, but Sunset isn’t cleared yet either” Applejack
“Darling, I want to trust Sunset but I don’t think I can” Rarity
Pinkie just nodded.
“What kind of friends are you” Fluttershy exclaimed as she left the room

Dear Twilight,
How is life in that castle suiting you?
To address the real subject in hoof here, how is Sunset Shimmer?
Is she well?
I must ask, as usual, for you to keep my interests in her secret.
Yours truly,
HRH Princess Celestia.
Dear Celestia,
How do I get central heating fitted in a crystal castle?
As far as I know Sunset is fine and is looking forward to spending Christmas (her worlds versions of heartswarming) with her friends.
I really think you should contact her your self, maybe just a Christmas card?
Twilight.
Dear Twilight.
As much as I would love to send Sunset a card I must admit to you a secret. Sunset has no parents or any family. I brought her up like my daughter along with Cadence. When she ran away through the mirror it was like losing a daughter, I have always hoped one day she would return.
Celestia.
Dear Celestia,
Please answer my question about heating a crystal castle?
As much as I sympathise with you I believe that Sunset is scared that you would be angry not just for breaking Equestrian laws but also for disobeying you. I suggest you be the one who tells her she is still welcome over here.
Twilight
Dear Twilight,
To answer your question you will have to ask Cadence she is the only other pony I know who has a crystal castle. As much as I wont to reach out to Sunset, I cannot bring myself to, but will you tell Sunset that she has an official pardon from any crimes she committed in Equestria.
Celestia
Dear Celestia,
As much as I regret saying this, fine. I am going over to Sunsets to celebrate Christmas so I will tell her then. Just so this really is an official pardon can you get Luna to sign so Sunset believes it is true.
You could give me an anonymous gift to give it her
Twilight.
Dear Twilight,
I have already you the pardon signed by Luna and Cadence. I have also enclosed something for Sunset, I trust you won’t peep.
Celestia.
Dear Celestia,
I have not looked at the parcel.
I just wanted to say how happy I am that you have finally trying to have some form of contact with Sunset.
Twilight,
Dear Twilight,
While I understand you are happy would you please refrain from letting others know about this.
Celestia,
Dear Celestia,
I am just packing to leave for my break in her world. I will be leaving my half of the journal in this world to power the mirror.
Twilight.
A little while later Fluttershy was approaching Sunsets house, she saw on the door lot of insults or signs were written. She also saw a light on in the back room, hoping Sunset was home she knocked. The door swung open with her lightweight. “Sunset?” Fluttershy called out.
“Sunset?” Fluttershy walked in, she saw four letters “Sunset I hope you know I wouldn’t normally come barging in like this” Fluttershy walked towards the door, which the light was coming out from. “Sunset” she called hesitantly as she opened the door. Fluttershy screamed, she could not believe what she was seeing. She reached for her phone and dialled 911 . “ I need an ambulance!”
