Hostility and harmony sat across from eachother at a table that would hold a thousand earths.

"Well sister, seems I have won the wager." Hostility stated calmly.

"You have done no such thing."

"I...beg your pardon sister?"

"If anything, you lost the wager. If I recall correctly, it was if all of my elements went savage... But one of them did not, and I have regained the element of loyalty as well... The wager, on your part, is incomplete, and now, with one element no longer there, you cannot complete your part of the wager."

Hostility's eye twitched. Harmony smiled.

"I win sister. My elements are not as corrupt as you would like to prove they are."

"But...All the people I infected-"

"Were not part of the wager." Harmony finished.

"The element of loyalty-"

"Had a hiccup, yes... But because of forgiveness, she is once more included." She gestured to her train, which had a blue with a new brilliance in the rainbow of colors, right next to a gold and red that glowed brighter than all the other colors.

"Hey! I ripped those colors off!"

"Yes, and I sewed them back on. Now... my three million bows of rain?.."

Hostility begrudgingly handed the pot over. Harmony took it, and waved her hand.

"This wager is officially at its close." She got up from the table to leave.

Hostility looked at her train once more.

"Wait one clock tick sister...Red and yellow...how are they still there, when its representative is no longer present?"

"Do not underestimate what I am capable of sister..."

The lights began to go on for hostility.

"But...If you put her back... That means..." She gasped. "I STILL could have won the wager!"

Harmony gave her sister a smirk.

"Too bad it's closed now...Tah tah sister!"

Sunset found herself in a lush landscape with mountains beyond measure, flowers that sang, and streams and waterfalls that flowed with color. Everywhere she looked was the perfect picture of harmony.

"If...If this is what it's like to be dead... I can live with this."

There was a chuckle behind her.

"Live with being dead... I'll have to start using that."

Sunset turned around, and saw a beautiful woman wearing a dress of colors that almost seemed to be alive, with a rainbow as the train of her dress. Sunset had never seen anything like this. Not even in Equestria. She responded the only way she could.

"...Whoah."

The woman chuckled. "I get that often. It is good to have you here Sunset Shimmer."

"How do you know my... Do I know you?.."

"Quite well."

"Funny... I'm pretty sure I'd remember someone like you... Are you... from Equestria?.."

"Indeed. I am also well aquainted with the mirror world, thanks to you."

"Thanks to...me? What did I do?"

"Why, you took me there in the first place."

"Uh huh... Are you sure you're not confusing me for someone else?.."

"Element of magic." She said plainly. The light started coming on for Sunset.

"You... You're the element of magic??!" She blurted.

"No silly. It is one of my elements though."

"I'm...not understanding."

"Who do the elements belong to Sunset?"

"I... I don't know. I've never thought of that."

"I'll give you a hint... It's in the name. Elements of..." She prompted.

"...Harmony. But that's just a name. It's what they represent."

"Yes, it's what they represent. They represent me. Harmony."

Sunset opened her mouth to speak, but found it stuck.

"I'm sorry... What?"

"Yup! Defender of Equestria, and, thanks to you, now also the mirror world."

"...Harmony....You...Harmony has a personality??"

"Yes, the elements are what make up my personality."

"...Ok...I...am talking....to harmony itself."

"Yes. Your friends from Canterlot High of course, are my representatives."

"I...I'm not sure they are my friends..."

"Sunset, it's true, sometimes my representatives don't always do a good job of representing me... But they are only human, and they make mistakes, as do you at times."

"I know I make mistakes! Lots of them! But...I really... really tried to change... What they did to me... What so many people at that place did to me... I almost did abandon everything. I wanted to go back to my old ways and just give them everything they were accusing me of anyway."

"But you didn't."

Sunset shrugged. "What does it matter now?.."

"It matters everything to me Sunset." She took on a voice of determination.

"You remained with me to the end. You were loyal, kind, honest, generous, and most importantly, you forgave Rainbow Dash." Her eyes took on a fiery lok as she continued.

"You have loved me to the end, and now everybody in that school, and in Equestria will know that I have loved you," Sunset felt herself lifting off the ground, being enveloped in a rainbow like what seemed like so long ago now, but this time, it was a good feeling.

"- That harmony has loved you." She continued. "When they see what I have bestowed you with, they will not dare deny it." Sunset felt herself being transformed in the air.

"I give to you authority beyond what I have given to Celestia or Luna, because you refused hostility, and stayed with me to death, even winning Rainbow Dash back." Pure light filled Sunset's being.

"Mocked, ridiculed, and beaten to the point of death. Never again will such atrocities fall on you. Never again will you fall. But you will rise..."

Sunset felt something extending from her back.

"Rise..." She repeated in a stronger voice. Sunset felt heat building up.

"RISE!!!" The rainbows and light enveloping Sunset burst open, and there was Sunset, clothed in flames and rainbows, with wings of light on her back.

"Any and all Equestrian magic is yours to use, both in Equestria, and the mirror world. From this point on, you are second only to me. Now go. Return to the mirror world. You now have access to come and go from this realm as you wish."

Sunset felt a surge of magic, and the next moment, she had teleported out of the harmonious realm.

It was morning. Dash hadn't slept at all. She just kept looking back at Sunset's unmoving body.

She hated herself for this. How could she have done this? She would give anything to-"

An explosion of light rocked the building suddenly and without warning. Dash averted her eyes.

A Bomb! They planted a freaking bomb!! She thought. But...She soon realized she had not been blown to bits.

The light faded away enough for Dash to look back in its direction. Her jaw dropped at what she saw.

"S-...Sunset?.." She spoke, agape. But it wasn't Sunset... It couldn't be... This had to be a dream. Sunset didn't have wings... She wasn't normally dressed in rainbows that emanated light.

Sunset smirked at Dash.

"Told you I'd wake..."

"SUNSET!!" Rainbow ran at her and threw her arms around her. She soon realized she was free from the post, and broke the hug, looking at Sunset.

"Wait, how-"

"Of everything you're seeing right now, that's what you're going to question?" Sunset laughed.

"Touche...Sunset... how?.."

"I doubt you'd believe me even if I told you."

"Oh trust me...I'm... just about ready to believe anything right now..." She looked Sunset over again.

"I'll tell you everything later. Right now... We're late for the last day of school..." She took Rainbow's hand, and teleported them out of there.

Sunset brought them both just outside the doors of the gym. Classes had started and the halls were empty. They looked inside and saw among the group, Gilda, and a few others that had been present last night. Sunset was back in her usual attire, devoid of all fantastical qualities. She looked at Dash.

"You ready for this?"

Rainbow smirked. "Let's rock their world."

Sunset opened the door, and they entered.

" SHIMMER! DASH! YOU'RE LATE!!" Bulk Biceps scolded.

At the names, a bunch of students did a double take.

"Sorry coach." Sunset apologized. "We got a little... tied up. Had a rough night... But we're ready to face the day now." She glanced at Gilda. Gilda was stuck in place.

"Well, you can face the day beginning with ten laps! GO!" She and Dash began running their course.

"GILDA!! Did someone glue your feet to the floor?! BURPEES! NOW!!"

The rest of the students continued with their exercises, with multiple students looking more than just a little uncomfortable at Sunset and Dash's unexpected presence.

Immediately when class was over, and the door had closed to the girl's locker room, there was a great hush. Gilda approached Sunset with a look of murder in her eyes. Sunset simply crossed her arms at her.

"I gotta hand it to you Shimmer... You're full of surprises, and quite frankly, I'm pretty floored as to how you managed to pull this one off..."

"You saw, as well as everyone else here," Sunset gestured to the rest of the group. "-what happened at the battle of the bands. I am as mucha representative of harmony as they are, and last night, I was caught up to the realm of harmony, and the embodiment of harmony spoke to me."

"Bull!!" Lightning Dust cried. "You expect us to believe that, you freaking liar?! Not only that you're just a representative of harmony, but that you're so freaking perfect, that harmony itself wants to have TEA with you?!?" She suddenly pulled a switchblade out of her pocket, and lunged at Sunset.

"Just die already! You fu-" But before she could plunge her blade, there was a flash of light that knocked Lightning off her feet

"Do NOT threaten me again." Sunset warned.

Lightning scoffed. "Or what?? You'll go she- demon mode on me?!"

"Hey Sunset!" Anothr approached. "The embodiment of my fist wants to have a talk with your face!!" She went to attack, but was herself, knocked back with another flash of light.

"Ooh, look at the tough she- demon with her fancy light show!" Gilda mocked.

"I'm shaking in my bunny slippers..."

"You all have NO idea... You all want proof of what I say?? FINE!!"

The locker room exploded in a burst of light, and Sunset donned her wings and dress once more, in a stunning display.

The group stumbled back in shock.

"Holy mackerol!!"

"Not one of you will ever threaten me again! You have no part in harmony. You have no IDEA what harmony is! Do NOT approach me EVER again!!"

With that, she and rainbow disappeared. The rest of the group was left speechless.

"What..... Just happened?"

Twilight sat at her desk in her lab at Crystal Prep, ever monitoring the strange happenings at Canterlot High.

"This is crazy Spike! Just overnight, the energy leves at that school have sky rocketed! As if it wasn't already weird enough!"

Her dog chased its tail aimlessly around the room. Undeterred by what Twilight would call "concerning".

Twilight frowned at her dog annoyedly.

"Gee...You're right Spike!... I should go over there and see what this is all about..."

Spike finally found his tail, and yelped in pain when he bit hard on it.
