Sunset returned from her trip to Canterlot to check up and visit her mother for a few days and soon arrived back in Ponyville spying a Zebra with her friends.

“Who is this?” Sunset asked.

“Ah, Sunset, just in time.” Twilight said. “We were just getting to know our new friend Zecora here.” She added.

“You took initiative to make a new friend while I was gone?” Sunset asked. “So proud…” She added.

“Is your friend alright, because her eyes are moist in the light?” Zecora said.

“Um…what?” Sunset said.

“She means your tearing up.” Twilight says. Sunset chuckled

“Well considering you’ve come a long way since I became your Surrogate Big Sister, can you blame me?” Sunset asked.

“Not at all.” Twilight said, smiling.

“So Zecora is it? It’s a pleasure to…whoops!” Sunset said before tripping over a rock and causing the basket that Zecora was holding to tumble and spill it’s contents on Sunset.

“Oh great, not again…” Twilight said, remembering the flower that sunset had now touched.

“Not again what?” Sunset said.

“We had to deal with an incident revolving around Poison Joke while you were gone; and that’s exactly what your gonna be affected by in a few hours.” Rainbow Dash said.

“Poison Joke? I don’t follow.” Sunset Said.

“Sunset, that plant is going to effect you by playing a prank of some sort on you. Me and the others all had the same thing happen to us. My horn became floppy and useless.” Twilight said.

“I couldn’t fly straight.” Rainbow Dash said.

“My well kept coat was made into an utter mess!” Rarity said.

“Ah was made super tiny.” Applejack said.

“I could barely talk.” Pinkie Pie said.

“What about Fluttershy?” Sunset asked.

“My normally quiet feminine voice was made loud and masculine.” Fluttershy said.

“Seems everyone had something happen to them that would make them deal with their polar opposites.” Sunset said.

“Not really opposites…” Twilight said. “Good news, we know how to cure it now.” She added.

But a few hours of procuring the ingredients for another bubble bath later, and nothing seemed to have happened to Sunset.

“Ah don’t get it, how can Sunset not be pranked yet?” Applejack said Twilight examined Sunset.

“Well as far as I can tell, nothing external seems to have happened. Another Flutterguy situation?” Twilight asked.

“Flutterguy?” Sunset asked, confused.

“That’s what we jokingly called Fluttershy when her voice changed.” Rainbow Dash said. “But your voice sounds normal.” She added.

“So then what is it? What’s changed?” Twilight asked.

“Perhaps the prank lies not on what is external, but rather is more internal.” Zecora said. Sunset flinched.

“How did you know?” Sunset asked.

"So she is pranked. But what kind of prank could really prank Sunset? I know me and Pinkie Pie tried a few times during our prank bonding experience before Gilda showed up, but nothing seemed to phase her." Rainbow Dash said.

"It's difficult to explain. It's in regards to my brother." Sunset said. "For some reason, in certain places, I swear I see him running about. But that's not possible, because I know my brother is missing and the chances of my brother being in Ponyville are low." She added. "I even once thought I heard someone say his name." Sunset asked.

"Actually, not to sure that part about someone saying a name is an effect of Poison Joke; I know I heard someone say 'Sunburst' at some point." Twilight said. Suddenly Sunset went up to Twilight.

"Did you just say you heard the name Sunburst the same point I did?!" Sunset exclaimed.

"Sunset, what does that name mean to you?" Applejack asked.

"Sunburst...that's the name of my brother whose gone missing. I'm still searching for him of course. I won't stop until I find out where he's gone." Sunset said.

"I know you won't Sunset." Twilight said.

"Celestia said she'd also find someone named Starlight Glimmer, who I'm guessing is who my brother was calling 'Glim-Glam' back before he disappeared. After all, like I told you, he disappeared two weeks before I met you Twilight." Sunset said.

"Why are you searching for this Starlight Glimmer?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"My brother wanted to say something to her, and I'm sure if I found my brother alive and got him to meet up with Starlight Glimmer, I'm sure he'd still say the same thing to her that I overheard him say one time. I know this because I know my brother would never change his mind on anyone he gives a nickname to." Sunset said.

"What kind of message is it, if you don't mind me asking?" Fluttershy asked.

"I wanted to tell Starlight Glimmer that my brother still considers him or her their best friend in the whole wide world." Sunset said.

"That's...that's really beatitful!" Pinkie Pie said before bawling.

As the elements got Sunset into a Bubble Bath, unbeknowst to them, a certain unicorn mare overheard that conversation, and was now crying herself.

"I'm still...I'm still Sunburt's best friend...even after all this time..." She said. "Sunset Shimmer...that was her name right?" The mare said. "Well...look no further Sunset Shimmer...your about to meet Glim-Glam." She added.

Author's Note

I’ll be honest, I thought Bridle Gossip was a season 2 episode until I looked it up. Yay bonus? Also, Sunset finally reveals her brother's name to the main 6 as well as the message, and this catches the attention of a certain unicorn...
