The Big Sibling Program is being hosted by CHS. It is a program where older people such as; senior students, gaurdians, teachers and parents are assigned as Role Models to spend quality time to the young ones, this is the first kind of program that CHS never think of aside of the previous school events that had happened since Princess Twilight's first visit to the human world.

After watching the movie called, Role Models, Principal Celestia and her sister, Vice Principal Luna decided to host another school event with the same event that in the movie deals with, so they figured that CHS needs to host a program like this. They also did some research that other schools deals with the same thing. After the announcement and a quick brief of how the program works, students were eager to participate and get to assigned the young students.

Everyone in CHS were chattering with each other about the Big Sibling Program as Sunset Shimmer walk her way to where her friends were. She look around and of course her all of her schoolmates were talking about the Big Sibling Program and from the sounds of it, they're really excited about. Sunset had to be honest, she too was also eager to join this program, but first, she must meet up with her friends.

Sunset found her friends chilling inside the band room and they're also talking about this Program as well. "Hey girls," Sunset greeted them.

"Sup, Shimmer," Rainbow greeted back, offering her a High Five and Sunset returns the favor.

"You girls are excited for the Big Sibling Program?" Sunset asked them, she's just so excited as Pinkie Pie right now.

"Well, of course we do," Twilight replied as Sunset took a sit next to her. "I mean, Crystal Prep never host a kind of Program like this before, so this program is my first ever program to volunteer, aside of the previous school events."

"CHS doesn't even had a program like this one before," Applejack added. "This one is new to all of us here."

"And hanging out with the young ones sounds pretty fair," Rainbow said. "And hanging out with Scoots makes it even more awesome!"

"And we already assigned to look out for our sisters after the Program started hosting," Rarity chimed in while checking herself out with her mirror.

"So who else you're assigning too?" Fluttershy asked to those who hadn't volunteered. Not yet.

"I had no idea who," Sunset shrugged. "But the only thing I do know is mentoring that person. As much as I loved you girls, I also had the need to teach young ones about the true meaning of Friendship, showing them there's another way and taking them to the right path."

"Now ah' see why ya' so eager to went along this program, Sugarcube," Applejack told her.

"That's exactly what I was doing with Gummy!" Pinkie chimed in while holding her plush.

Pinkie Pie is SO random and no matter how long she spent with their lives, they still couldn't figure her out. Especially how she's able to assigned a plush as a Role Model was clearly unknown.

So Sunset tries to change the subject, "So... any more spots to take?" She asked them.

"We've all got taken and so does Pinkie..." Rainbow stared at her pinkish friend who was playing with her plus. "Well... somehow to look out for her plush...."

"You might as well take it now before all spots were taken," Twilight advised her fiery haired friend.

"I'm doing that right now," Then she took off to Principal Celestia's office.


Sunset made it to Principal Celestia's office and entered and was greeted by the smile the older woman was wearing the moment her student steps in.

"Ah, Sunset Shimmer," She spoke. "I assumed you're here to volunteer for the Big Sibling Program."

"Yes, Principal Celestia," Sunset nodded. "I hope I'm not too late."

"I am certain you are not, Miss Shimmer," Principal Celestia replied and then bring out a sign up sheet that was filled with all of the students' names, well some, were not written there yet. "Just sign your name here and I'll see who you'll be assigning too."

Sunset grab a pen and write her signature on the sign up sheet, and Celestia check the sheet again and to find Sunset's name included. After thinking of who she'll be assigning, her smile changed into serious that all students find her being serious when she's like that.

"Sunset Shimmer," She spoke in a stern tone. "Are you sure you're ready for this?"

She nodded again. "Of course," but then her smile faded when she saw the Principle wearing a serious look. "Did I do something wrong?"

"No," She shook her head. "The person who you'll be assigning to may not be easy for you to make it work."

"I assumed it must be a school bully," Sunset clarify.

Celestia nodded in return. "Yes. This one here is Diamond Tiara. Yesterday, she got caught for bullying Applebloom and her friends and this morning we have her sign up into this program and we had her wait in my sister's office for someone to be her Role Model. Now that you're here, I figured that maybe you can help her change since you've been where she was except for being rich and spoiled and the whole magic thing."

"I can see where this is going." Sunset said.

"That's right," Celestia responded. "Are you sure you can deal with her shenanigans?"

Sunset smiled at her again. "Principle Celestia, everyone can still change and everyone deserves a second chance, like me and where it got me up untill now. And I believe that Diamond Tiara can still change if someone shows her that right path. And that someone is me."

Principle Celestia smile warmly at her. "Then you'll be assigning Diamond Tiara. She's waiting at my sister's office, I'll let her know that you're coming."

Sunset then exit the office and made her to Vice Principal Luna's office. She had to admit, Sunset knew the rich girl like everyone else knew her but she's one of the students who had never interact with her. Heck, not even during her darker days as the school bully, so this is likely the first time Sunset has ever talked to Diamond Tiara.

Meanwhile, inside Vice Principal's office, Luna and Diamond Tiara just stared coldly at each other with their arms crossed. Luna always knew that the young rich troublemaker is always up to no good, and the CMC being her usual soft targets are just giving her the nerves. She just received a call from her sister that Sunset had finally joined and assigned to be with Diamond Tiara. She knew the fiery haired girl well, and she had hope that Sunset can help her change like how she's change.

And finally, Sunset Shimmer entered the office only to find Vice Principal Luna and Diamond Tiara stared back at her the moment she went inside. Luna's cold expression altered into a warm loving smile at her student.

"Sunset Shimmer," Luna spoke warmly. "I just got the word from my sister that you'll be looking out for Diamond Tiara for Big Sibling Program."

Sunset smiled back at her and walk over to Diamond and stared at her and oh boy, she does look stern after hearing the mean things Diamond did to Applebloom and her friends.

"I believe we never spoke with each other before," Sunset told her, still looking stern.

Diamond rolled her eyes. "Yes but we do knew much about each other."

"Now listen here, Tiara," Luna began, sounding really, really strict. "Miss Shimmer here is going to be with you for the Big Sibling Program and you must show her some respect."

"Why would I show respect to a girl that turned into demon?" Diamond asked coldly. Sunset flinched at that but remain still, not wanting to give Diamond the way to use against her.

"Yes, but she worked hard enough to make up for what she did," Luna replied strictly. "And look at her now; a love, caring and a better person who changed her ways and changed drastically from her old self and may I need to remind that she and her friends saved all of you a lot of times?"

Diamond said nothing but just glared at her.

"You're at the wrong path where Miss Shimmer was before," Luna continued. "She can help you understand that you don't understand and I don't want you making things harder for Sunset here, Tiara."

Diamond Tiara just glared at both of them and didn't say anything. Nothing at all. She got no other words to fight back, for now.

"Then I guess you two must be on your way." Luna told them.

Diamond stood up and turned to leave first then Sunset followed. As they left the office, Luna hoped that Diamond could clean up her act now. And hopefully Sunset Shimmer is someone who you can count on.

As Diamond Tiara and Sunset Shimmer are walking down the halls together, without making a single eye contact or ever spoke a word, Diamond Tiara is just being unhappy about this, well in reality, she got herself into this and there's no one to blame but herself. Without her powers, Sunset could still tell that Diamond is being miserable about it as her face says she does. So Sunset decided to break the ice in hopes to lighten up her mood .

"Sooo..." Sunset started. "What's eating you?'

"Why do you ask?" Diamond grumbled, not daring to stare back at her.

"Well you're not in the mood and I just want to see if I can help you lighten up," Sunset said. "I've been where you were, Diamond. Trust me, if they can help me change, and I can help you change too."

"Why?" Diamond asked again. "Just for the Big Sibling Program?"

"Well not for the program," Sunset answered. "At first....but after seeing how mean you are and reminds me of myself back then, I believe that everyone can change for the better and can go to the right path and learn The Magic of Friendship. So that's why I agree to help you, Diamond Tiara."

"That's funny. Coming from you," Diamond sarcastically replied.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm saying that it's funny that those words came out from your mouth; from someone who rules this school by fear and iron fist."

"I'm change," Sunset repeated. "It won't be that hard to change if you just let me help you."

However, Diamond just simply ignored by fishing for her cellphone and started texting, without paying an eye to Sunset. And Sunset herself knew that this might be hard but knowing herself, she can make this work. She can help Diamond Tiara, she can help change her, but first she needs to understand her and must show her another way that is more to life than just being rich and all.

To succeed, she just needs some flippin faith
