Cadence was nervously walking next to Sunset “So how’s life, anything special happening?”

Sunset smiled “My daughters Solaria and Moonshadow began school a few days ago. I had to pick them up after school over the last few days, thankfully Strider was able to pick them up today.”

Cadence blinked “You have kids, who is the father!”

Sunset gave Cadence a sad smile “Strider is, we’ve been married for a while now. We met when he found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, one of the more violent gangs was after him. Simply a coincidence that I was walking down the street, only to see it happening.”

Cadence blinked “You decided to fight them, for what reason. What possibly reason could you have doing such a thing.”

Sunset frowned “I’m still not sure, I just stand and watch as someone was killed. They were carrying knives and he wouldn’t have gotten out of there alive, they made the mistake of thinking they could take me.”

Cadence blinked “I didn’t know there was a big gang in Mirestorm.”

Sunset grinned “Oh they are still there but when I say jump they jump. They keep quiet but still keeps out the lesser gangs from having wars in the streets.” They arrived outside a small donut shop, Sunset entered only to see a tall, muscular Adept making donuts. Sunset grinned “Donut Joe.”

Donut Joe turned to her in shock “Sunset, why haven’t you visited my store in years!”

Sunset sighed “So you didn’t here the word, I don’t live in Mysterium anymore. I live all the way in Mirestorm, me and Celestia had a major falling out. The only reason I am giving her a second chance because of her new student Twilight.”

Joe frowned “I really need to keep up with the goings on in this city. Staying in the donut store doesn’t help me match in knowing what is going on here” he then smiled “still I’m glad your giving Celestia a chance.”

Sunset nodded with a slight smile “She treats Twilight like she is most precious thing, when I was working on repairing Twilight Celestia never left the room. She almost incinerated a noble for trying to get her to leave, Twilight is the heart of the sun and I doubt that Celestia will let any harm come to her. Besides if they try and Celestia can’t stop them then I will step in.”

Joe then turned to Cadence with a smile “Ah Princess Cadence has joined us, I’m glad you two are making up. You two plus Twilight are my favourite customers and now you’re both here. I’ll set up your favourite platters.”

Cadence blinked “Wait you consumed platters, the only reason I do is because as a Sanctis my body needs more energy to function.”

Sunset laughed “Cadence, Mechas don’t get fat. Our bodies find a use for everything, I’m still not exactly sure how my body works. I have more gadgets and gizmos then I know what to do with.” She blinked as a fire hose came out of her shoulder “That’s new.”

Cadence raised an eyebrow “You didn’t know that was in there? How many gadgets do you have?”

Sunset smiled “Quite a few, mostly weapons of some kind. When I was built form what I can tell Celestia put a lot of random junk in me, I think there was a cake machine in there somewhere.”

Cadence laughed “Celestia does love her cake, I found her one day sitting down in her room eating cakes for about an hour. Even for a Sanctis that is a lot of food.”

Sunset grinned “Oh she almost has panic attack when I hid every cake in the castle” she then sighed “when she found out she did this to me.” Sunset pulled up a piece of her shirt revealing a large vicious scar across her stomach.

Cadence’s eyes widened as she looked closer at the scar that marred the synthetic flesh, it clearly hadn’t healed properly. The fact that was there a scar to begin with was enough proof but it really hit home how badly Sunset was treated, the damage was as if the wound took years to heal “No wonder you treated me so badly. Does Twilight know she did this?”

Sunset shook her head “I’m not going to ruin her image of her mother like that, she worships the ground that Celestia walks on. I don’t want to ruin her image of her mother.”

Cadence grimaced “Fine but I will talk to Celestia about this, what she did was unacceptable!”

Sunset sighed “I can’t stop you but don’t make too big a deal of this, Celestia still has to run Mysteria unless you want to fill in for her.”

Cadence growled “She needs to understand Sunset, we may not have been close but if this is how she treated you in the past it’s no wonder you took it out on me! What happened to me is her fault as much as it yours!”

Sunset eyes narrowed as she looked at Cadence “Don’t let hatred consume you because once you do there is no way back. When I ran away I had the opportunity to kill Celestia there but I didn’t. I was seeking freedom, not vengeance but the thought crossed my mind a lot for the first few years.”

Cadence grimaced “I will still to talk about with her but maybe I am letting myself get too angry about this.” It was then the conversation was dropped as Donut Joe provided them with donuts which they dug into to.
