“Congrats. You actually did it,” the demon taunted looking at the body

“I never did have a name for you,” Sunset mused

“Call me whatever you want,” the demon said

“Sundown. That way you have a name. So, that's what I look like dead," Sunset commented looking at her corpse on the ground

“How's about some fun. Haunting the school,” Sundown suggested

Sundown bent down and infused a little energy into the pistol. She proceeded to find Scootaloo and guide her to taking the pistol.

“Why do you want them to have that?”

“You'll have to wait and see,” Sundown replied

The two later attended the memorial, finding humor in actually attending their own.

“In life they hate me, and in death they're sorry. How contradictory is that?”

Sundown decided to inform the school about the culprits. Finding most of the school at fault, she marked everyone's locker as guilty.

“Celestia’s here?”

“Each of them shared secrets to those three,” Celestia commented out loud

‘Yes. Bring them to justice’.

“I will do what I can,” Celestia said

‘Thank you’.

“Why would you talk to her,” Sundown asked curiously

“If you're writing messages to everyone, why can't I write a little?”

"I'll give you that. Besides, your spirit energy causes the incident to repeat, so they'll never forget that,” Sundown replied

As spirits; time passed endlessly as they had no way to know when the day truly ended. Almost an eternity later, Sundown recognized an old friend.

“Isn't that the princess,” Sundown taunted

‘Hello Twilight’.

“Sunset,” Twilight whispered

‘Yes. Sorry for everything’.

“Your mom and aunt are here with me.”

‘Tell them I love them’.

“You just did,” Celestia said approaching

“Why did you do this,” Twilight asked

‘I couldn't take the pain any more. I didn't feel that I could return either’.

“Hey, an assembly, let's go,” Sundown
suggested

The two watched as Twilight tore into everyone for their actions and Sunset was impressed that Twilight had a mean side to her.

“Look, the three bitches. I've got a message for them,” Sundown said evily

‘Punish’.

“Let me borrow your appearance for a while. You're going to like this,” Sundown said evilly

Sundown manifested in front of everyone. She held her left hand in the shape of a gun and ‘fired’ it at the CMC at their mouths one by one, causing them to fall to their knees in surprise.

‘They just felt the pain I suffered’.

“You're right. They deserved to feel that. Thank you.”

They decided to follow Twilight and the others as they headed to pay their final respects to Sunset. As a sign of respect, Sunset herself appeared before them so they could see her one last time.

Another eternity later (weeks later) the Sundown had another surprise for her partner to see.

“Remember when I placed some energy in that pistol? Now you'll get to see why,” Sundown replied

The two were summoned to a place that they remembered quite well, with three unexpected guests.

“Why are they here in my old apartment?”

"I honestly don't know why," Sundown answered

After the speech by the trio, they produced the pistol. Sundown proceeded to assist in their suicide, making sure they got what they truly deserved.

A month later, Sunset was able to step through the portal to see the statue her mother had created in her memory.

“Goodbye mom, everyone,” Sunset said letting her soul finally be at peace and disappearing
