The Lady and The Street Rat
Where Home Is
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSunset Shimmer had lost everything she had gain and her everything.... was her girlfriend Twilight Sparkle. She was now an animal trapped in a cage as she watched Timber and Chrysalis plotting their attack. She looks at her hand to see that her left arm had changed into a lion's arm and she puts a hand on her right eye looking down in shame. Then she remembered why she agreed and it wasn't about the money... its about finding who her mother is, Sunset doesn't remember the woman's face but from what she knew the woman left her and her husband to take care of Sunset.
The father became a single parent and raised Sunset on his own even if he was to tired from work he would always have time for his daughter. Little Sunset had noticed something strange about his father and that he grew two horns and a fang on his teeth. She thought it was normal since she was only a child but then he started to like trashing the house down being chaotic, One night she saw her dad on the floor sleeping but she didn't see that her father was moving. Police wanted to bring her to the orphanage but instead she ran away and lives on the streets.
Eventually she saw an abandoned building and decided to start a new life. As she grew up she was known as the prince of thieves because she would double cross some people so that she could steal their belongings and cash, One day when Timber was waiting for his girlfriend when he saw Sunset Shimmer at the alley looking at some girls which got him an idea of using her to steal Twilight's magic. At first the street rat knew he didn't have cash but one thing she couldn't refused is the identity of her mother. Timber showed Twilight's photo and started their plan.
The plan backfired when Sunset had truly met Twilight Sparkle in personal and fell in love with her at first sight. When they get to each other more, The more Sunset finally admit she was in love. Actually, When her counterpart saw the spectrometer it was actually part of the street rat's plan as a signal but seeing Twilight had change and she hoped that her plan of double crossing would still work in the end. Now, She was trapped in Camp Everfree's secret house.
This is what I get when I said yes to finding out who my mother is made me feel so stupid, If only I didn't agree to his terms then me and princess would be in a healthy relationship.... Maybe if I leave Canterlot for good she would be thrilled and happy to see me gone.
She sat down at the ground looking for a way out. The cage was solid that nothing is useful to break it, She looks around for another way and sighs heavily as she had a plan but it was to stupid and risky. She stood up and pushes the cage with all her might. At her last attempt she had finally manage to escape which alarmed Timber.
"You won't get away! Chrysalis get her before she escapes!"
Sunset Shimmer flew towards the ceiling and breaks it to escape. Chrysalis shape shift to an eagle and went after Sunset, The street rat noticed that it was night time and she wasn't familiar on the location she was in so she had to trust her conscience so that she could go back home. But first, She needs to out smart Chrysalis. She looks around for a better solution and smirks when she saw a way to trick Chrysalis.
"You won't get away from me Sunny!"
"Oh I won't but you're the one who's going to get away from me". Sunset turns around and kisses Chrysalis forcefully which disgusted the older woman. Chrysalis broke off the kiss glaring angrily at Sunset Shimmer which only made the street rat smiled.
"I take it you like how my breath smell?"
Chrysalis went back to camp to brush her teeth which made Sunset laugh so hard and continued to fly home. As hours fly by she still hasn't see Canterlot City, she sighed and landed on the ground. She was in the middle of a snowy rode, She wanted to walk but something was holding her back and it was guilt of seeing Twilight again. Seeing her princess's disappointed face, She looks forward and was thinking about whether she would come back home.... or start another new life. She stayed in the road for a while deciding, They weren't much people going to camp since its December so she was in the middle of the road thinking.
She finally got her decision and turns around to walk to the opposite direction. She enjoyed the silence around her and it was satisfying to hear the crunching sound of her feet interacting with the snow on the road. She stopped and sighed again but this time it was a sigh of guilt, She knew who was following her.
"What would your father say about you snooping around on other people's business?...." Then she heard a crunch of the feet interacting with the snow and she turns around.
"Starlight".
"Its unusual to see you here in this road thief". Starlight went towards her.
"I won't do that if I were you, You won't like what your about to see". Sunset said.
"Not the first time to see you have a bad hair day".
Starlight Glimmer took one more step and had now see her best friend crystal clear but she didn't cower in fear nor shouted in fear.... She had already seen this form from a long time ago. They both looked at each other for a few minutes before they started to laugh and do their signature handshake.
"Man it's been 3 years since that last time I saw you and your still a shrimp". Sunset said.
"Still stealing I see?"
"Yep". Starlight then noticed her best friend's face suddenly turned sad which made her frown.
"Adagio told me everything.... What happened between you and Twilight?" Starlight asked.
"Its... complicated". Sunset replied as she looks away.
"You really agreed to chin boy's terms huh?"
"I didn't knew that Twilight was a really an amazing girl Starlight! He just told me to get her magic then he'll show me my mother!.... I did regret the terms after I had get to know his ex".
"Now your here thinking whether you want to leave or stay?....." Starlight asked.
"I have decided that I am leaving to start another life". Sunset said as she saw her friend going to her car.
"You can go with me if you want, I can give you a ride". Starlight said.
"I'm going to pass. I feel like walking anyways".
"Choose Sunset Shimmer, Home?... or another life from scratch". With that, Starlight left leaving the street rat alone in the road.
"Where do I really belong?.... No one's waiting for me back there plus people might call the area 51 people to study me or something when I come back". Sunset told herself as she starts to fly up the sky.
She looks down at where Manehattan is. It was the place where you can spend your money since its a place for rich people well next to Las Pegasus. She looks back at Canterlot City remembering the things she had done.
"Maybe I should walk after all". She flew down and starts to walk the road to Manehattan.
"Okay girls she's alone and is starting to move again". Sonata said as she saw her GPS.
She was driving The rainboom's bus while the others were looking at the window hoping they would find Light Shimmer. Twilight Sparkle was more worried than the others praying and hoping nothing happened to her girlfriend. Sunset Shimmer was trying her best to calm her best friend and Pinkie Pie was at the roof of the bus to for a look out.
"When did you stall a tracking device on her?" Rainbow asked.
"Oh I didn't do that, I told Twilight to do it just in case". Sonata said.
"Just in case for what darling?" Rarity asked.
"Um..... reasons..... That's not important right now we should keep a look out". Sonata Dusk focused her eyes on the road hoping her girlfriend wouldn't ask questions.
"Whatever you say Dusky". Dash said.
"AH SEE HER! STOP THE CAR SONATA!" Applejack shouted and the young siren pushes the breaks.
Twilight Sparkle was the first one to get out of the bus and the others were about to as well but Sonata stopped them.
"Let her speak to Light alone". The girls nodded and watches the scene.
Light Shimmer stopped and had felt someone's presence behind her. She knew who it was and was so scared to even show the person behind her face.
"Li-Light.... Its me Twilight Sparkle".
Twilight gasp when she saw her girlfriend's face had became visible to her eyes. She just felt so guilty and took a step forward then she got scared when she heard Light growled like a lion.
"Don't take another step Twilight, I don't wanna hurt you". Light said.
"I just want to talk-"
"There's nothing to talk about Twilight! I am just a street rat double crossing people so that I can steal their belongings to make a living, I need to leave so that I can start another new life. I'm just going to rot to death in the end! I don't deserve you I really don't... because I'm just a nobody that couldn't give you the world you wanted!" Light started to shed tears as she had said all of those things.
"You are special to me Light..... I don't care if your a street rat, You already did give me the world I wanted". Light's eyes winded in confusion and shock as she heard her princess had just said.
"You gave me your love. Being with you as my lover was the world I wanted, I don't need to be treated as some princess who has everything and wants a prince no! You already treated me like I was someone you loved and that's enough for me". Twilight took a few steps forward. "I'm sorry if I yelled at you, I was so angry thinking that I was just a tool for you to use but a best friend told me that you were telling the truth. So come back home with me.... with us.... I can teach you a better way". She was now facing her girlfriend and starts to wipe out her tears.
"Princess.... I'm sorry"
"People make mistakes and that's a part of being human".
"I can't...." Twilight took a step back shocked what her girlfriend's response is.
"Wh-What do you mean?" Twilight asked.
"You need to go back home Twilight, You have a family that is waiting for you". Light said as she started to walk again but stopped when Twilight had hugged her tightly from behind.
"I'm not going back without you Light!" Twilight sobbed as she was trying to keep her beloved still hoping she would change her mind.
"Please princess-"
"I don't wanna loss you!!!"
Light Shimmer removes her girlfriend's arms. She turned around and frowned in guilt to see her girlfriend crying, Light wipes her tears away and both of them looked at each other. Twilight Sparkle leaned forward and kisses Light's lips softly with love which the street rat had accepted it. They broke off the kiss and looked at each other.
"So that this mean that?"
"Yes princess, You convinced me long enough". The street rat was surprise when her girlfriend hugged her again.
"YES!"
Both of them shared a kiss while the others cheered for them.
"Think you can outrun me thief?!"
Light broke off the kiss and hugs Twilight close to her, growling at Chrysalis and Timber who had appeared. The street rat's lady looks at her ex shaking in fear and the others left the bus to protect the couple. Timber angrily pulls out the spectrometer.
"Step back! I only need Twilight!" Timber opened the device and a moan in pain was heard around them.
"NO!"
Author's Note
So Sunset's inner monster is like Discord in FIM but only the arm and dragon wings because I'm still following my cycle of the story called Euphoria where human Discord's name is Lance Shimmer and he used dark magic which paid him the price by dying.
