It was 5:50 in the morning. Everypony was asleep, some woke up early to see Princess Celestia raise the sun. But Sunset Shimmer was at the balcony looking at the stars happily before going to her parents's room to wake them up. She got on top of them and made an adorable smile.

"Mom! Dad! wake up!". Sunset said happily. She the noticed that her parents were still sleeping making her pout.

"Dad!". Sunset yelled.

"You're daughter's awake". Princess Celestia cooed with a smile on her face.

"Before sunrise she's you're daughter". Discord said sleepily.

"Come on dad!". Sunset then bit Discord's ear and pulled so that he could wake up but he was to strong making Sunset loss her grip and fell off the bed. 5 seconds later she got up and went on top of Discord before head butting him. Discord woke up and saw his daughter pouting.

"You promise". Sunset said.

"Okay okay, I'm up". Discord groggily said before he yawned.

"YEAH!". Sunset yelled before getting off her parent's bed. Discord sat up and stretches his arms while he yawns. Celestia did the same before she shared a kiss with Discord, they both got off the bed and Discord wore his armor because he is the captain of the guards. The royal family went to the balcony, Sunset Shimmer sat on Discord's head with a smile on her face. She watched in awe to see her mother raise the sun. Discord smiled and wrap his arm around Celestia.

"Look Sunset, Everything the light touches is our kingdom". Celestia said while she looked at her daughter.

"Wow...". Sunset said in awe.

"A princess's time as ruler rises and falls like the sun itself. One day sunshine, the sun will set up me, your father, and your Aunt Luna's time here as ruler... and will rise with you as the new princess of equestria". Celestia used her magic to get Sunset off of Discord's head and nuzzled her foal with a smile on her face. Sunset giggled and she was put at the balcony edges while looking at Canterlot.

"And this will all be mine mom?". Sunset asked.

"Everything". Celestia said.

"What about that shadowy place over there?". Sunset asked while she points with her hoof towards the dark side of Canterlot.

"That's beyond our borders, you must never go there Sunset". Discord said.

"But I thought a princess would do anything she wants". Sunset said.

"There's more to being a princess than getting your way all the time". Celestia said while they all walk back inside the castle.

"There's more?". Sunset joyfully asked. Celestia giggled and decided to clear her schedule to have some quality time with her family.

Twilight was looking around the cells. Seeing ponies trap here without doing anything illegal made her feel empathy for all of them. She was thrown in the cell by the guards and she was left alone, everypony started to yell for help. She only watched the ponies until...

"SHUT YOUR YAPS!!". Twilight couldn't believe what she heard. It was her own voice but it didn't belong to her which means it belongs to this world's Twilight Sparkle. She poke her head at the cell to see her counterpart, she was an alicorn but was wearing a black and red armor, her counterpart removes her helmet to reveal her mane was spiky and messy. She looked very peeved at everypony in this cell.

"Can I have one normal day without you imbeciles yelling and calling for help? HUH?!". Dark Twilight asked as she looked at the cell where Twilight is and shot her a confuse glare.

"Are you trying to mock me with your disguise?!". Dark Twilight asked.

"N-No!". Twilight nervously said.

"State your name prisoner!". Dark Twilight said.

"My name is Princess Twilight Sparkle!". Twilight said as she stood up facing her counterpart.

"What kind of princess are you?". Dark Twilight asked.

"I'm-".

"Do you have magic mane?". The guard asked.

"Do I look like I have a flowy magic mane?". Twilight plainly asked.

"Magic hooves?". The other guard ask.

"Say what now?". Twilight asked.

"Do animals talk to you?". Dark Twilight asked.

"Well that's Fluttershy's talent". Twilight said.

"Were you poisoned?". The guard asked.

"No". Twilight said.

"Cursed?". The other guard asked.

"Kinda". Twilight said.

"Kidnapped or enslave?". The guards asked.

"NO!". Twilight yelled.

"Okay you 2 bozos, knock it off. We got the answers we need, she is indeed a princess". Dark Twilight said. She and the 2 guards left the the building leaving everypony quiet and upset. Twilight looked down at the floor and saw a small picture that her counterpart had dropped without noticing. She levitated the picture and saw 2 fillies with a baby phoenix and a baby dragon. It melted her heart to see this picture but that feeling disappeared a few seconds and had a question in her mind

What happened to this Equestria?.....

Sunset and Celestia were walking at the around the castle's garden. Sunset was playing with a butterfly by following it with a smile on her face. She looked cute due to her little legs trotting towards the butterfly, Celestia giggled and sat down at the grass and Sunset stopped to sit in front of her mother.

"Everything you see exist together in a delicate balance. As a princess, you need to understand that balance and respect all the ponies and creatures in Equestria". Celestia said.

"What do you mean?". Sunset asked.

"Treat them like you want to be treated". Celestia said.

"I'll treat them like royalty?". Sunset asked.

"No Sunshine. Treat them like a friend". Celestia said.

"I don't need friends". Sunset said.

"Then what do you call Twilight Sparkle hmm?". Celestia asked with a smirk on her face and her foal blushed a lot.

"She's my best friend". Sunset said as she looked away.

"Are you sure about that my ray of sunshine?". Celestia asked and she still has a smirk on her face.

"Of course I'm sure!". Sunset said. A pegasus guard trotted towards the princess and her daughter with a smile on his face.

"Good morning your majesty". The pegasus said.

"Good morning lieutenant Flash, May I ask why you are here?". Celestia said.

"Just filling you in for the morning report". Flash cleared his throat and began to tell Princess Celestia the reports that he had receive. Sunset then felt somepony's prescience and she began to look around suspiciously. Celestia notices this and looks at her daughter.

"What are you doing sunshine?". Celestia asked.

"N-Nothing mom". Sunset said.

Suddenly, a guard was running towards Flash Sentry. The guard stopped in front of them and saluted the princess of the sun.

"Your majesty, news from King Discord. He spotted the sirens". The guard said.

"Lieutenant Sentry, take Sunset Shimmer back to her room". Celestia got up and started to flap her wings.

"Mom can I go?". Sunset asked.

"I'm afraid you can't sunshine". Celestia flew away from the gardens. Sunset sighed heavily and follows Flash Sentry.

"It's unfair. Why can't I come with mom?". Sunset asked.

"Princess Sunset, one day when you get to be a princess you can do cool stuff like Princess Celestia always do". Flash said.

Sombra was roaming around the castle bored out of his mind. He sat down at one of the chairs of the castle and sighed heavily. He heard little trotting sounds and he turned to see his niece Sunset Shimmer.

"Hey Uncle Sombra guess what". Sunset said.

"You know I hate this kind of games". Sombra sternly said.

"I'm gonna be the princess of equestria!". Sunset said.

"Oh goody". Sombra sarcastically said.

"Mom and Dad showed me the whole kingdom, and I'm gonna rule it all!". Sunset happily said.

"Yes. Well forgive for not leaping for joy I have a bad back". Sombra said.

"Hey Uncle Sombra, when I'm princess what would it make you?". Sunset asked as she hugged Sombra's foreleg.

"An alligator's uncle". Sombra said.

"Ahahaha! you're so weird". Sunset said and Sombra smiled.

"You have no idea". Sombra stood up and walked slowly to the hallways with Sunset Shimmer.

"So your parents showed you the whole kingdom did they?". Sombra asked.

"Everything". Sunset said.

"They didn't show you what's beside Canterlot?". Sombra asked.

"Well no, They told me I can't go there". Sunset sadly said.

"And their absolutely right! Its far to dangerous for a filly such as yourself to go there. Only the bravest ponies go there". Sombra said.

"Well I'm brave!". Sunset said and did a guard expression with a salute.

"What's beside Cant-".

"I'm so sorry Sunset but I can't tell you". Sombra said.

"Come on please!". Sunset pleaded.

"Sunset Sunset, I'm only looking out for the well being of my favorite niece". Sombra smiled and began to pet Sunset's head earning the little filly to giggle.

"I'm your only niece". Sunset said.

"Well more reason for me to be protective". Sombra said as he stops.

"A siren's hideout is no place for a young princess. Ops!". Sombra covered his mouth with his hoof and looks at Sunset.

"A siren's hideout?!". Sunset joyfully asked her uncle.

"Oh dear I said to much". Sombra said.

"Well I suppose you will find out sooner or later about that. You being so clever and all, promise me you will never visit that place". Sombra said before he hugged his niece.

"I promise!". Sunset said.

"That's a good filly now run along now". Sombra said and Sunset gave Sombra a kiss on her cheek before she ran off.

Dark Twilight went inside the Canterlot castle with the other guards. She stopped in the middle when she saw King Sombra looking at her.

"Did you manage to capture ponies?". Sombra asked.

"My men captured a princess". Dark Twilight said.

"Another princess?!". Sombra asked.

"Yes sire". Dark Twilight said.

"Well then kill her!!". Sombra said before he walks away.

Dark Twilight went to the garden and sat on the grass. She started to cry and the animals were only looking at her with empathy.

"Sunny..... I miss you.... please come back to me..... I love you so much". Dark Twilight said.

Sunset was trotting through her mother's school hallways looking for her friend Twilight Sparkle. She was looking around and eventually spotted her best friend talking what it seems to be her parents and her brother. She blushed a little and trotted towards her, Twilight notices Sunset and began to blush.

"Hey Twilight". Sunset said.

"Hi Sunset". Twilight said. Sunset leaned towards Twilight's ear and began to whisper.

"Come on I'm gonna show you a great place that my uncle had told me". Sunset whispered.

"Where we going?". Twilight whispered.

"The siren's hideout". Sunset said.

Twilight looked at her parents and ask if she can have some fun with her best friend. They agreed but they had one condition.

"Bring Lieutenant Flash with you 2". Twilight Velvet said.

"Not him!". Twilight said.
