Epilogue: Road to equestria

Canterlot State University or CSU for short, the largest and prestigious college campus in the entire city . A nice and stable college that every teenager set's their eye's on to land an acceptance, however getting into this fancy school isn't a walk in the park as it takes a well written scholarship and a perfect and I mean perfect score on the standardized test or at least half a passing grade on the test. However seven teenagers had no problem's getting accepted into this prestigious school, after saving the town and CHS multiple times from any magical threat that plagued the entire city of Canterlot. As a reward for their bravery and strong friendship the seven friends were rewarded a straight up acceptance letter to CSU one month after their high school graduation.

These seven heroes were Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Sunset Shimmer, Fluttershy, Pinkie pie, Applejack, and Rarity.

The human world's elements of harmony as well as the alternate versions of the main 6 back in equestria. It had been 2 years since their highschool graduation and 2 years after that dreaded Anon a Miss incident and now they're on their sophomore year of CSU and continue to excel in all their classes. Speaking of the Anon a Miss incident Sunset and the girl's have since moved on from it ever since their reconciliation a few christmas's ago and now whenever it's brought up randomly they simply just laugh it off and playfully tease each other over that old ordeal, goes to show how much their friendship has grown stronger since then and now each of them knew better than to jump to conclusions again.

As for their sister's AKA the CMC they have been working hard at protecting the school from any magic threat's in their sisters stead's, no doubt all that magic training they along with Silver spoon have been going through from the Rainboom's has really been paying off and it's safe to say the school and city can rest assured that there's still someone to protect them while the OG gang is away. They've even started a new club that focused on training some new freshman during their senior year to master and unlock their magic abilities in order to take over for them once they graduate next year. Long story short Sunset and especially Rarity, Applejack, and Dash couldn't have been more proud of em.

However today would have a big impact on one of the Rainboom's, Sunset now 19 is preparing for a weekend visit to her old world Equestria along with her friends. But this trip wasn't gonna be all fun and games as Sunset's mind was on one important priority the second she steps through the mirror......................................her old mentor. As she finished packing up her suitcase for the weekend long trip her mind filled with many thought's about how her mentor would react to seeing her or if she even want's to see her. After she nearly destroyed canterlot from her reckless fire stunt, ran away from her, lashed out at her, stole twilight's crown, and tried to create an army in the human world to take her down she knew this wasn't gonna be a pretty conversation . Her thought's soon turned to fear of Celestia either banishing her from Equestria, choosing to never forgive her, or worst of all locking her away in the dungeon for a long time and never be able to see her friend's/sisters again. As she stared into the replica magic mirror Twilight gave to her on her 19th birthday standing in the edge of the living room of their frat house she started to have second thought's about facing her old mentor again, but she knew she couldn't run away from this forever. She had to face her again no matter how angry she had to face her and apologize even if she chooses not to forgive her.

"You ok sugarcube?" Came a voice. And soon Sunset snapped out of her thought's and turned around to find Applejack looking at her with a worried look on her face. " Your nervous aren't you?"

"Is it that obvious AJ?" She said in a sarcastic and quiet tone.

"Pretty much yeah" Applejack replied with a slight giggle. " Listen Sunset if I were in your shoes i'd be pretty nervous about seeing my old mentor too. Plus me and the girl's are nervous to finally meet her ourself's cause honestly even though we were forgiven years ago there's no telling what word's she's gonna lay out on us after.............................you know?"

"Hehe Yeah I know, but don't worry AJ Twilight has long since informed Celestia about everything and she doesn't hold a grudge against ya, she's disappointed yes but she's not upset with any of you guys" Sunset reassured.

"And that's exactly what I'm talking about too" Applejack replied. " Listen Sugarcube, I might not know the whole story about your past relationship with Celestia even after you informed us your backstory 3 years ago. But I'm certain that she doesn't hate you either and I can guarantee that she'll be so happy to see you even if she'll be slightly disappointed at your past actions, but ya gotta be brave and face her you cant runaway forever. Sooner or later you know you have to confront her past, look back at Anon a Miss If you could forgive us, our sisters, and everyone else even after we abandoned you at first and practically took your memory away for a brief time, then I know Princess Celestia will forgive you too. And no matter what happens sugarcube me and the girl's will always have your back, cause your not just our friend your our sister and we love you Sunset"

As AJ finished her statement Sunset couldn't help but shed tear's of joy at the fact that her friend's no her sisters cared about her so much. She ask herself how she could have been so lucky to meet these six amazing humans, she was then quick to bring Applejack into a warm embrace which she quickly returned as well.

"I love you guy's so much, thank you AJ" She sniffed.

"No prob Sugarcube" Applejack replied, and after a few seconds the hug ended as Sunset wiped away her tears.

"So are guy's ready to roll?" Sunset asked.

"Yeah were all packed as well, Fluttershy just needs a moment with Dumbbell and Dash is giving Indigo house instruction's" She answered. Sunset then looked over and found Shy fully packed and talking to her boyfriend.

"You sure you don't need me to come too butterfly?" Dumbbell asked.

"Don't worry Billy I'll be fine" She reassured him. " After all I'll still have access to my magic abilities in Equestria and I have the girl's to back me up"

"Hehe look at my brave girl" He said making Shy blush a little. " Alright butterfly I trust ya, BUT if your in trouble or some jackass pony guy over their tries to make a move on ya I don't care what it takes I'm coming straight through that portal and coming to your rescue my love"

Fluttershy couldn't help but roll her eye's at her boyfriends statement even though she found it cute that her former bully is so protective and gentlemanly towards her.

"Thanks Billy, I'll see ya on Monday" She said before wrapping her arms around her boyfriend and bringing him in for a passionate kiss which he was quick to return.

"And here's the house key" Dash said while handing Indigo Zap the key's to the frat house. "Help yourself to anything in the fridge, just don't touch Rarity's butterscotch ice cream cause she will murder ya believe me"

"Hehe message received" Indigo said with a giggle. " And don't worry Dash the house is in good hand's me and Twilight have it covered"

"Thanks Indigo" She said and the two friends proceeded to fist bump each other all while Sunset looked on proudly at the sight of love and friendship. Suddenly a familiar buzzing sound came from her suitcase and after opening it she found her phone automatically turn on with the notification "one new message" displayed on the screen and she was quick to swipe and go to her messages and began to read her latest message.

Flash Sentry

Good luck in Equestria babe, Sorry I couldn't see ya off this damn flu is killing me🤢

But I wish you luck with your old mentor👍

p.s say hi to Twilight for me

Sunset then typed a reply to her boyfriend

Thank's Flash and I will😉 And hang in there big boy, once I get back i'll be sure to treat you to some homemade soup and lots of loving:heart:

Thanks Sunset😊, I'll see you soon then. Love you:heart:

Love you too big guy:heart:

With nothing else to say she powered off her phone and placed it back inside her suitcase she begins to wonder how she wasso lucky to have a boyfriend as amazing as Flash. As she began to walk toward's the portal she found her friend's standing side by side with her as well ready to depart as well with suitcases in hand, Fluttershy and Dumbbell then said goodbye one last time as Fluttershy made her way toward's the mirror as well. As the girl's surveyed the mirror they gave each other nervous look's about their upcoming journey as they haven't traveled to another dimension before and had absolutely no idea how different the Equestria in Sunset's world is to there's, no doubt this was gonna be a hell of a ride for our six heroes.

"Well" Dash began" Guess his is it"

"Yup" Applejack replied.

"Time to see what the pony world is like" Fluttershy said.

"I can already tell this is gonna be a doozy" Pinkie said nervously.

"Quick question darling" Rarity asked Sunset. " is the transformation gonna hurt?"

"Hmmmm not that much, it'll feel weird at first but it wont hurt as much. Trust me i've had the exact same feeling when i arrived here 5 years ago"

"I'll take your word on that darling" Rarity said nervously earning a slight giggle from Sunset who then looked back at Twilight standing near Dumbbell and Indigo Zap.

"Ya sure you don't wanna come along too Twilight?" Sunset asked .

"Nah, this is you guy's fight Sunset" Twilight replied. " It's between you and the other Celestia I would just get in the way even though it would be interesting to see an anthropomorphic pony culture, plus I still feel a little uneasy whenever I see my counterpart"

Sunset couldn't help but giggle at her friend's statement.

"Alrighty then Twilight maybe next time then, we'll be sure to bring ya back some souvenirs and photos to study when we get back on Monday"

" Thanks sunset I appreciate it" Twilight replied. " Good luck you guys"

" Be safe out there girls, you too Butterfly" Dumbbell said.

"Don't do anything I wouldn't do over there fellas" Indigo jumped in.

Each of the girl's nodded in assurance before staring at the mirror as Sunset began to feed magic into it, and after a few seconds the portal to Equestria open's and each of the girls began to admire the lovely display of rippling magic.

"So who's going first?" Dash asked.

"I'll go" Fluttershy jumped in, and without another word jumped straight into the portal.

"HELL YEAH!!!! NOTHING'S GONNA STOP MY GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:heart: " Dumbbell shouted amazed at his girlfriends bravery.

"Damn Fluttershy sure has gotten braver since senior year" Dash said impressed. " Alright I'm next" and Dash then proceeded to jump into the portal.

"Me next, me next, me next!!!!!!!!!!" Pinkie said excitedly and without another word jumped straight through the portal.

"Crazy girl" Applejack giggles. " Alright here I go YEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and she then jumps into the portal as well.

"Really AJ? Rarity said. " Ok here goes nothing, I really hope this transformation doesn't mess up my hair " She then proceeds through the portal praying that her hair will be alright.

"Hehe classic Rarity" Sunset giggled. But before she jumps in after them she begins to reminisce about all the event's that have transpired not only in Equestria but in this world as well and wonder's if she's truly ready to face her former mentor again or if she's ready to see her former student again. She soon snapped out of her thought's after feeling some hands on her shoulder and found dumbbell and Twilight looking at her with reassuring smiles.

"You'll be ok Sunset" Twilight said.

"Dash, the girls, and my Butterfly got your back, it's gonna be fine" Dumbbell reassured. Sunset then smiled at her friend's statement and knew that they were right.

"Thanks fellas I'll see ya soon" She said. After another moment of hesitation Sunset then jumped straight through the portal not wanting to keep the girls waiting. As Sunset jumped inside the portal closes automatically in a bright glow of magic before reverting back to it's original state as the trio watched in amazement.

"Think they'll be ok? Indigo asked"

"Don't worry Indigo I'm sure they'll be fine, the others got her back plus they still have access to their magic abilities" Twilight reassured.

"Amen" Dumbbell replied. " OH CRAP! I gotta head out practice is in 10 minutes!" And then proceeded towards the front door.

"Ya need a ride their Billy? "Indigo called out.

"Nah I got my motorcycle parked in the front, I'll see you guy's on monday." He said and then left the house in a hurry not wanting to be late for football practice.

"Later billy" Twilight waved before closing the door.

"Well that's that" She said . " Hopefully they'll arrive safely" She then felt a pair of strong arm's wrapped around her waste and found Indigo staring at her with the thirstiest eyes imaginable.

"Look's like it's just the two of us now bookworm" Indigo said while licking her lip's and the young genius playfully rolled her eye's at the athletes statement.

"You really are something babe ya know that?" She asked.

"Awww come on ! You love it when I talk to ya like this and ya know it" Indigo said.

"Well your not wrong there" Twilight said quietly with a hint of lust in her voice and then brought her lip's closer to her girlfriend into a passionate kiss which Indigo was quick to return.

Author's Note

For those of you who are wondering about a few things in the story........................................

Billy is a first name the fandom gave to Dumbbell, and in my universe Dumbbell doesn't mind being called either his first or last name by his friend's and his girlfriend.

In my universe Twilight and Timber felt that a long distance relationship wouldn't work out and decided to just be friend's. during her freshman year at CSU she and Indigo spent some time together and started to harbor feeling's for each other and long story short the two have been dating ever since. And that was also the discovery of Twilight's bisexuality.

Butterfly is a nickname dumbbell gave to Fluttershy when they started dating.

Well here it is guy's the first aprt of my next story. Originally it was gonna be oneshot like Anon a Mystery Flash and CMC but I decided to split it into two parts to make it easier and less stressful on my hand's:twilightblush: But anywways guy's hope you enjoyed the first chapter, once again give me your honest opinions and I should have the final part out sometime this week. Until then have a good day folks:pinkiehappy:

Welcome to Equestria

Meanwhile in Equestria

Inside the Castle of Friendship on a quiet saturday morning ,we find the young matriarch and the princess of friendship Twilight Sparkle prepping up the castle for the weekend long slumber party with her friends from her world and the ones from the human world. She couldn't believe its been 4 years since she's met the humanized version of her friends and stepped foot into their dimension time sure does fly fast doesn't it? As she reminisced about everything that happened inside the human world she couldn't help but think about the upcoming conversation between Sunset and Princess Celestia. After all her past sin's since she ran away to the human world she wonders how this conversation was gonna go down, cause there's no doubt in her mind that there was gonna be a few choice word's between the former student and teacher. But hopefully it'll end on good terms with the two of em cause it's never too late for second chances cause hell if Twilight can forgive her loved ones from that wedding fiasco and Sunset can forgive her friends from Anon a Miss then what's stopping her and Celestia from reconciling? She then snapped out of her thought's and made her way towards her front room which housed the magic mirror knowing they'll be here any minutes. She then steps in and finds her 7 friends laying out layers and layers of pillows in front of the mirror to cushion their fall once they arrived.

"This enough pillow's Twi?" Applejack said as she layed down the last one on the ground.

"Hmmmmmmmmm" She thought. " Yes that should be enough, well done guy's "

"If you don't mind me asking darling" Rarity said. " Why are we putting pillows near the mirror?"

"Trust me Rarity, with all the times I stumbled on the ground whenever I stepped foot into their world , I'd wanna cushion my fall" Twilight said slightly uncomfortably. " Especially since it's their first time stepping foot into our world"

"Good point darling" Rarity replied.

"So when are they gonna arrive already?" Starlight asked.

"Sunset wrote to me that they'll arrive 5 minutes before 8am" Twilight answered and then looked at her hoof as if she was staring at a wrist watch. " They should be stepping foot in our world right......................... about.............................."

Just then a loud rippling sound can be heard and everyone in the room stared at the magic mirror starting to activate with the portal soon opening up in a ripple of magic. And soon 6 screaming figures emerged from the other side and landed piled down like a row of bowling pins on top of the pillows on the ground. After all 6 emerged a chorus of groans can be heard as the mirrors portal closed in a spark of magic, the six girls then looked up to find non other than Twilight Sparkle who greeted them with a welcoming smile along with her friends.

"Welcome to Equestria girls" She said.

"Hey Twilight" Sunset said with a slight groan as she and her friend's struggled to get back up ( Well mostly her friends).

"Woah!!!!!!!" other Dash said struggling to stand up.

"Easy there Dash" Sunset said helping her up. " Nice and easy, and that goes for you guy's too"

Heading Sunset's word's the five of em slowly stood on each of their newly grown pony appendages trying their hardest to keep up their posture with Sunset and the other's.

"Jesus" other applejack said. " The horses on our world make it look so easy"

"This must be how you felt after your transformation to a human eh Darling? " other Rarity asked.

"Hehe yes" Sunset said with a chuckle. " But it wasn't as hard to stand on two leg's at first when I entered your world years ago"

"Speak for yourself" Twilight said slightly annoyed earning another giggle from Sunset. other Dash then surveyed Sunsets pony form and noticed a slight difference.

"Woah your pretty tall as a pony Sunset" She said .

"Huh? Oh yeah" She said. " Well actually you all remember how I told you my back story about when I first arrived in your world ?"

"Yes" The others said all together.

"Well like I said when I first arrived in your world years ago I ended up aging back down to 14 years old" She began. " I was 19 years old when I left Equestria and once I stepped foot into your world my transformation and the magic from the portal aged me down to a teenager again, so while I'm 19 in your world. Here I'm physically and actually 25 years old but since you guy's were born in the human world your all still 18 and 19 years old." As she finished her explanation the others had look's of shocked in their faces never fully realizing that sunset's was actually older than them this whole time.

"Damn now that's what I call a doozy! To think this whole time you could have been buying us beer" other Applejack said with a chuckle earning her a slap at the back of her head by other Rarity.

"REALLY AJ?! THAT'S SOMETHING WE'D EXPECT FROM DASH!!!!!!!" She said slightly annoyed at her friends inappropriate statement. And the others couldn't help but giggle slightly at the little bickering session.

Just then other Fluttershy soon started to survey the castle in amazement and awe and the others followed suit.

"Wow Twilight your castle is so beautiful" other Fluttershy said.

"Yeah It's just like the one's I usually see in video games and movies!!!!!!!" other Dash said even more amazed.

"hehe thank you girls" Twilight said with a giggle appreciating the compliments of her castle/library. " Mi casa es su casa"

"Appreciate it Twi" Other Applejack said.

Sunset then took a second to survey twilight's friend's, as this was the first time she met the ponified versions of the Rainboom's but wasn't so sure how to greet them, but before she could say anything she soon found herself into a group hug by the five pony girl's.

"No need ta be nervous Sugarcube" Applejack said. " We've long since forgiven ya as well"

"Amen, any friend of Twilight's is a friend of mine" Dash said.

"Indeed" fluttershy said. " You don't seem like a bad guy (anymore) I'd be more than happy to have you as a new friend"

"Here here" Rarity replied.

"I haven't made a new friend in a while this is so EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Pinkie said in her usual happy tone.

"Ok take it easy Pinkie" Spike said jumping in. " Nice to see you again Sunset"

"You too Spike" She greeted and then took a second to survey her dragon friends form. " Damn Spike you gotten taller! And is that some muscle and a pair of wings I see on ya?"

"Hehe yeah well, that growth spurt was bound to happen to me sooner or later" Spike said with a blush and then showed off a little by flexing his arm .

"Yup my Spikey Wikey is growing up so fast" Rarity said and then wrapped her hooves around Spikes arm.

"Hehe babe your embarrassing me" He said with a blush.

Sunset then chuckled a little, when Twilight wrote that Spike finally got with his dream girl she wasn't kidding. But her expression soon changed when she found another one of her old friends walk up to her with a smile on her face.

"Whats up Sunny? " Starlight said.

However Sunset said nothing and just ran towards Starlight bringing her into a tight embrace as fresh tears soon started to form in her eye's.

"Starlight I'm so sorry!!!!!!!!!" Sunset weeped. " I shouldn't have left you like that without saying goodbye, hell i shouldn't have left in the first place!!!!!!! I left behind my home, my friends, my parents, everything behind and I don't blame you for hat................." But before she could say anything else Starlight wrapped her hooves around her as well returning the embrace.

" Oh Sunny, I never hated you" Starlight said with a smile and a slight sniff. " I mean I was upset that you vanished without a trace and I didn't know where you ended up but I never hated you. But I was no saint myself, I did some pretty messed up things too and it's almost a miracle I was forgiven so easily like you were. I missed you so badly old friend, the reason I ended up going down a dark path myself was because I thought Celestia has done something to you especially after I heard of what went down in Canterlot. My fear turned to rage at the though of Celestia and even Twilight did something bad to you that I tried to take over not only Ponyville but Canterlot out of revenge. But I was wrong so very wrong." She then wiped away Sunset's tear's.

" Your not a bad pony Sunny, you made mistakes, I made mistakes but we've both learnt from them and were forgiven" Starlight said with a smile. " I'm just so happy to have one of my best friend's back" Sunset smiled and brought her old friend back into a hug which she quickly returned.

" I missed you so muck Starlight" Sunset sniffed.

" Me too Sunny, me too" Starlight said with a sniff of her own. The others couldn't help but shed tears of their own at the sight of a wonderful reconciliation between friends. It made them look back at when Sunset forgave then 4 years ago as well and they couldn't be happier. After a few minutes the hug between the old friends ended and Sunset then began to speak to Twilight.

"So how soon until we head over to the station Twilight?" Sunset asked.

"Well actually Sunset" Twilight replied. " I thought of a better idea instead of us traveling all the way to Canterlot" Sunset then looked at her with confusion, wondering what kind of idea she planned out instead of the original plan to head over to canterlot real quick to see Celestia.

"What do you mean Twilight?" Sunset asked raising an eyebrow. But before she could say anything else she suddenly felt a familiar presence in the atmosphere as an alicorn soon entered the living room. Sunset's mind went blank and her jaw nearly dropped at the sight of the one mare whom she ran away from and who's kingdom she nearly took over out of a furious rage. There stood the Sun Goddess herself student.........................................................Princess Celestia.

Sunset just stared at the sun goddess as she walked closer to her. She didn't know whether to be terrified or happy to see her old mentor again, her reactions were mixed at the sight of princess Celestia. But to her surprise she didn't have a hint of anger in her eyes and she simply smiled and had a calm cool expression on her face as she stared at her former student.

"Welcome home Sunset Shimmer" She said with a smile.

"Uh hhhheeeellllooooooo Ceeeeelllllleeeeessstttiiiiiaaaaa" Sunset said with a nervous stutter, and then shot a confused look at Twilight who was quick to respond.

"Me and Celestia figured it would have been better to have the conversation here instead of Canterlot" She said hoping that her friend will calm down. Celestia then gave her attention to the humanized main 5 who stared at awe at the presence of the pony version of their principle.

"So we finally meet humane five" She said which earned them all look's of nervousness and anxiety especially since she's long known about that dreaded Anon a Miss incident. She then walked towards them as they continued to act nervous not knowing what she's gonna say to them, put to their surprise she smiled and looked at them calm and collected.

"There's no need to be afraid, I'm not gonna hurt you guys" She said as the rest of the girls looked shocked and surprised at her statement. " I've long since forgiven you girls's, while I am dissapointed at you for using a magic stone as a selfish way to get your friend back. I'm happy that you've seen the error of your ways and fixed it and rightfully apologized for the dreaded sin you five have pulled, and judging by all of Twilight's messages to you I can see that you've learned the true meaning of friendship since then. But don't ever and I mean ever do something like that again do you understand me?" The others while slightly shaken from her last statement were also grateful that the sun goddess really did forgive them, Sunset then looked over and gave them a " Told ya" look. The five friends then kneeled down and bowed their heads.

"Thank you your majesty" Other Fluttershy said.

"This wont happen again we Pinkie promise" Other Pinkie replied.

" Sunset mean's the world to us, we'll never hurt her again" Other Rarity replied.

"Amen" Other Applejack jumped in. " Sunset's been like family to us these past few years and I'd hate to lose that trust in her"

"She's the best friend we've ever had and we will ALWAYS have her back no matter what" Other Rainbow Dash said proudly earning a proud smile from the sun goddess.

"That's what I like to here girls, you all definitely earned your elements" Celestia said proudly and then turned her attention back to Sunset who looked just as proud as her at her friends selflessness and strong friendship.

"So shall we begin?" Celestia asked Twilight.

"Of course, we'll give you two some privacy" Twilight said.

"Wait" other Dash said. " You sure you don't want us to stay down here Sunset?"

"No it's fine Dash" Sunset reassured. " I'll be ok trust me, I've been dreaming of this moment for a long time and I'm not about to run away.

"Ok sis we understand, but just know that we got your back no matter what happens" Other Dash said.

"Thanks guy's" Sunset said with a smile.

"Come on guy's" Twilight said to the humane five." Me, the girl's, and Spike will show each of you to your guest room's"

The the others then nodded in unison and picked up their briefcases and followed Twilight and the others upstairs to the castles guestrooms but not before other Dash pulled out a device from her suitcase and strapped it on the top of her head, surprising not only her friends but the other ponies who have never seen such a device before.

"Dash why in samhill did you bring a GoPro with ya?" Other Applejack asked.

"Oh come on AJ!" She said. " When's the last time we traveled to an alternate universe on one of her adventure's? I just wanted to document our little trip so we can look back at it."

"Are ya certain this isn't an excuse to get more views on your youtube channel?" She asked

"Shut up" other Rainbow said slightly annoyed and then found herself face to face with pony pinkie who stared up close to the device with awe.

"WOW!!!!!! That's what a video camera is?!!!!!!" She asked excitedly. " I heard stories about human world technology from Twilight but i didn't expect it to look so cool and shiny!"

"You guy's must tell us more about your world's technology and fashion" Rarity asked.

"Darling" Other Rarity said. " Your in for some interesting and fabulous human world fact's" and the others soon made their way upstairs.

" Pinkie can you not stand so close your fogging up the lens" Other Dash said slightly annoyed.

"Oh sorry" Pinkie apologized as they made their way upstairs leaving the sun goddess and former student alone in the living room with nothing but Twilight's pet owl keeping them company.

The student and mentor then stared at each other awkwardly trying to find the right word's to say to one another. No doubt the two of em have been thinking about when this day was gonna come one day. After what felt like an eternity one of them finally spoke.

"It's been a while Celestia" Sunset said.

"It sure has Sunset, 7 years to be exact" Celestia replied. "Twilight tell's me your on your sophomore year of college in the human world, so how's your studies going?"

"They're going nice" Sunset answered. " I've had a few setback's and there have been a few magic mishap's on campus but it's nothing a little tutoring and me and the girls magic can take care of"

"That's great Sunset, I'm happy you and your friends are excelling well" Celestia said showing her gratitude.

"Thank you your majesty" Sunset replied. " So how have things been in Equestria?"

"Well we've had a few mishaps of her own" She answered. " We've actually just took care of an adversary known as Cozy Glow who tried to take over the friendship school and the city of Canterlot, but luckily Twilight and her friends managed to stop her. We also managed to successfully reform a few of our older adversaries Queen Chrysalis, Discord, and King Sombra"

"That's great princess, I'm happy you managed to reform three of the most dangerous villains of Equestria" Sunset said slightly impressed that three of Equestria's well known villains are now on the good side.

"Indeed" Celestia replied. " Discord's been helping out with Twilight and her friends, Chrysalis and her changelings are assisting the royal guards in Canterlot, and Sombra's been watching over the Crystal Empire with Shining armor and my niece Cadence. Also he and my sister have been spending some.............................time together"

"I see I see" Sunset said trying not to chuckle , knowing exactly what she meant by Luna and Sombra spending some "time" together.

After another moment the two of em stayed silent again both trying to find the right word's to say to each other again. While they stayed silent they couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia as it's been years since they've last spoke to each other especially after that ..........incident. They couldn't help by reminisce about what transpired between the two of em 7 years ago with both wishing they could take back all the things they've said and did to each other and to just go back to the way things used to be. After what felt like another eternity they finally spoke again finally knowing the right thing to say.

"I'm Sorry" The two of em said at the same time. They then cleared their throats a little after they both apologized at the same time before finally speaking again.

"Uh you first" Sunset said nervously.

"No Sunset, I know you have a few choice word's for me especially after my little "scolding" years ago" Celestia said. " So go ahead ad give me all you got"

"Ok Princess" Sunset replied and then took a deep breath before finally speaking again.

"Celestia ever since I was a filly I've dreamed about being taken under your wing and become your student just like Twilight" Sunset began. " We both wanted nothing more than to one day gain your attention and to prove ourselves worthy of being your pupils. And when that day finally came I was so excited along with Twilight, I knew that my dream would finally come true when I got the chance to study under your wing and learn all kinds of complex level magic and spells. But all that changed when Twilight was around, you started giving her the most attention and praise even when I managed to pull off the same spell and abide by the rules you didn't give me any praise at all. Sure you said thank you to me when I helped to decorate Cadences birthday cake but that was it, it made me seem like you cared more about Twilight then me even though I was your student as well. I felt like the sidekick rather than the student and Twilight was the star pupil who got the most praise and admiration even though my level of magic was just the same as hers, but what hurt the most was when I overheard you say to the council that Twilight had the most potential. Jealous and furious that I was completely ignored I ended up distancing myself from Twilight for the rest of our highschool years and we barely said anything to each other. But then one day after we graduated highschool you sent Twilight to live in Ponyville to study more about friendship, and I felt that was finally my chance to try and impress you. After you offered to have me move in with you to continue our teachings I was overjoyed to finally get the same praise as Twilight but boy was I wrong, I ended up being taught the same level magic as in highschool and whenever I asked to taught high level magic just like twilight you simply said that I wasn't ready every single time I asked which irritated me even though I was the same level as Twilight. I started to feel like all your lessons were a waste of time and that I was barely learning anything, and whenever I tried something different you ended up stopping me every single time and scolded me whenever I didn't follow directions or didn't pay attention to your lectures. But then one day during Cadence's coronation parade when you asked me to use sparkler magic for our float I decided to up the ante a little bit in order to finally impress you. So before the parade started I borrowed a spell book from the royal archives and once it was our turn I let my fire magic do the rest. But I soon lost control of the spell and nearly burned down the entire city and almost got everyone killed. After that you berated me in the scariest way. Not only did you scold me for ruining the parade, taking a royal spell book without asking, disobeying , nearly destroying the town and injuring hundreds but you had the nerve to call me a reckless pyromaniac. That broke my heart knowing that you'll never trust me again after what I've done, but when I overheard you talking to my parents about how you were gonna renounce me as your student starting tomorrow and my parent's agreed with you. That broke me even deeper, that's when I came to the conclusion that I was just a waste of time to you and that you only had eyes on Twilight and only thought of me as a worthless sidekick with no potential whatsoever. So after that I ran away through the magic portal where I planned my revenge for the next three year's and when I finally got the chance Twilight defeated me and my would have been army and my plan to take over your kingdom was foiled. Afterwords I realized that I let my jealousy over Twilight get the better of me and it drove me to do a lot of unspeakable and evil things in order to get you to finally notice me. In the end I was like a child having a tantrum due to not being noticed, but I shouldn't have let my jealousy get the better of me and look what's happened. I left behind my home, my parent's, friends, and worst of all I nearly took you and your student down along with Canterlot and it still haunt's me to this day. For what it's worth Celestia I am truly, truly sorry for everything and how I acted towards you and Twilight. I can never be forgiven for what I have done, you were right all along I'm just an evil pyromaniac, I understand completely if you want to banish me from Equestria or worse lock me away for eternity cause I'm honestly a wanted criminal here after what I've done, so what ever punishment you have in store for me Princess Celestia I completely understand"

After finishing her story Sunset said nothing more and just hanged her head in shame trying her hardest not to cry, Celestia's said nothing as well as her expression was hidden in her bang's. Sunset continues to stay silent wondering when Celestia was gonna announce her punishment or yell at her already. After what seemed like an eternity Celestia finally spoke.

"No Sunset" She said almost shouting.

Sunset then looked shocked at her old mentors answer.

"I'm not gonna banish you or imprison you" Celestia continued as Sunset remained visibly shocked that her mentor wasn't gonna punish her.

"But why?" She asked. " I've done so many terrible things Celestia how can you be so merciful?

"Because Sunset, while i'd be lying when I say i'm not disappointed at your past actions especially after you stole my student's crown and nearly took over not only the human world but Equestria as well" She began. " But I cant really put too much blame on you especially since it was my fault" After her statement Sunset couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the thought of her old mentor blaming herself.

"Celestia how was all of that your fault?" she asked.

"Because Sunset,you were right, I have been paying more attention to Twilight and not you" Celestia answered. " I put all my attention to Twilight because I knew that she had the potential to be my future successor and that she had the heart of an Alicorn inside of her. But I shouldn't have left you in the dust like that Sunset, cause honestly I was just as proud of you as I was with Twilight but I was too much of a coward to show it cause I feared that if I gave you each the same amount of praise it would have lead to a heated rivalry which would have resulted in either of you doing something you'll regret to one another or worse try to kill each other in a jealous rage. I just didn't want either of you to end up like my last student"

"Wait you had another student before me and Twilight?" Sunset asked.

"Yes I did, have you ever heard of a pony named Victor Slash?" Celestia said.

"You mean the criminal fire demon?" Sunset asked.

"Yes that same pony" Celestia answered and then proceeded to tell her the backstory of her last student.

You see many years ago way before you and Twilight were even born I had a student named Victor Slash. When we first met I found him being violently assaulted in an alley by a group of bullies from his school, so I came to his aid along with one of my guards and we chased off his tormentors. After that I tended to his wounds and he told me his backstory of how he was constantly bullied by not only his classmates but by his parents for not being able to do magic properly and how everyone called him a freak with no powers. I felt sorry for the poor boy so I made him an offer to study under my wing as to help him master his magic abilities, and he was quick and overjoyed to agree to my proposal. So everyday after school I taught him different kinds of spells but his favorite type was fire spell's, for the past few month's he's been improving his magic and growing stronger and stronger each day and I couldn't help but be proud of him. That is until that fateful day, one night one of my guards who was patrolling the streets found a most horrific sight in one of the alley ways. It was the charred corpses of a group of ponies, 3 stallions and 2 mares. When my guard reported the bodies to me an autopsy was shown and as it turns out they were the same bullies that I saved Victor from, I didn't want to believe he did this but realization came to mind when I found out his fascination with fire magic. The next morning before our lecture I talked to him about it and asked if he had anything to do with it and he was quick to give me an honest yes with the coldest tone and expressionless face imaginable. I was shocked at this I didn't expect an innocent looking boy to be a coldblooded killer, when I demanded to know why he did thist he told me that he's was tired of being treated badly by everyone due to his poor magic skills and wanted revenge. As it turns out his bullies weren't his first victims, throughout our time together after our sessions he used his new found fire magic for cold blooded revenge. His first victims included his abusive strict parents, his ex girlfriend and her new boyfriend in a jealous rage, some of his strict teachers and a few classmates from school. I was horrified that he committed such unspeakable and grotesque acts , I understood that he was treated poorly but this was way too far, and what's worse he even forced his own little sister to hide most of the bodies in their basement and threatened to burn her alive if she ever told anyone. I was appalled that he committed such heartless crimes and I could not stand for it. I tried to plead with him to turn himself in without any struggling but he simply shot a fireball at me and told me that he was tired of treated poorly for his poor magic abilities and was gonna show all of Equestria how powerful he has become and he had the nerve to thank me for turning him into the fire demon he was soon to become. As he was about to walk out the door I called 10 of my guards to restrain him but he defeated them with ease with 7 of them reduced to charred bones and the others with severe burns, he then walked towards one of them who had coward on the ground with his left leg severely burned begging for mercy but he simply just laughed at the poor mans form. I was saddened to see my most prized student become a cold blooded killer and I knew I couldn't stand for it. I knew I had to put an end to this or Canterlot and all it's citizens would be reduced to a pile of smoke if he kept this up, so i had no choice but to seal him up using the stone imprisonment spell me and Luna used on Discord centuries ago. It broke my heart to see such a young stallion trapped in stone with a shocked look on his face. But I knew it had to be done cause lives would have been on the line if I didn't, i had to protect my citizens and my guards from any threat regardless if it was my student or not.

"After that the guards who survived Victors attack were brought into the hospital and made a full recovery, however they now had permanent scars from the burns Victor inflicted on them and the one whom Victor nearly killed had to have his burnt leg amputated " Celestia said as tears started to form in her eyes. " Victor was then moved into the royal gardens next to Discord where he unlike Discord will remain there for all eternity. Every time I walk by his statue I couldn't help but feel sorry for him wishing I could have done something differently but I knew this was the only option, after I released Discord a part of me wanted to release Victor as well thinking that he could reform just like him. But seeing as I wasn't able to reason with him back then I knew it was impossible to give him a second chance after what he's done"

As she finished her tale Celestia then began to silently weep as the memory of her first student turning to the dark side began to play in her head. Sunset couldn't help but feel sorry for the old mentor, she had no idea one of Equestria's most cold blooded killers was actually Celestia's old student. She begins to wonder if she would have had the same fate had Twilight and the Rainbooms failed to stop her evil plan 4 years ago.

"Celestia I'm so sorry" Sunset began. " I had no idea you went through so much pain with your old student, and that you had to resort to such a drastic act"

"No Sunset" Celestia sniffed. " I don't deserve forgiveness, I've failed Victor just like how I failed you. I haven't really explained myself, you see after what happened with Victor I vowed to not take in another student out of fear of them going down a dark path as well. That is until I met you and Twilight, I sensed that you two were trustworthy so I decided to give teaching another chance, at first I was proud of each of you but after I realized that you had a fascination with fire magic just like Victor I feared that you would end up like him if I continued to practice fire magic with you. So I ended up only teaching you level 4 magic to keep you from going down a dark path like Victor if I taught you anything larger than level 4, but in the end that was selfish of me and it only ended with you going down that path anyways due to jealously and anger. I should have treated you fairly Sunset but I didn't I made you runaway, I made you Steal the crown, and I made you almost take over Equestria. I'm a poor excuse for a teacher hell i almost failed Twilight as well during that dreaded wedding incident 4 years ago and it's almost a miracle she's lasted this long as my student. Sunset for what it's worth I am deeply deeply sorry for how I treated you, i should have treated you fairly but I made you go down a dark path and I will never forgive myself for it. I am with all my heart so very sorry Sunset Shimmer"

Celestia said no more and just collapsed on the ground in a sobbing mess. Sunset heart broke seeing her old mentor in this state, what's more sad is that she was blaming herself for her old student's reign of terror. She begin to wonder if her teacher was at fault for her path of darkness, but she knew better now. Her mentor was innocent she chose that dark path, she chose to runaway, she chose to steal the crown, and she chose to try and enslave the students at CHS and make them into her minions to take over Canterlot all over her petty jealously and it almost made her lose two of her closest friend's. She then proceeded to walk towards her mentor and place a hoof on her shoulder causing her to look up and tearfully sniff.

"Celestia" She began. " Listen what happened with Victor wasn't your fault, he chose to go down that dark path you had absolutely nothing to do with it , I know you were only trying to help him and it's sad that he couldn't be reasoned with. And it's just like me I blamed you and Twilight for my path to darkness and I wanted nothing more but revenge. But I know now that neither of you were at fault I was a selfish and irresponsible idiot who let her petty jealousy get the better of her and if I continued down that path I'd most likely end up like Victor myself"

"Sunset no" Celestia retorted still sniffling." I'm the one to blame, If I had treated you and Twilight equally you wouldn't have run away int he first place. But I let my fears of you turning into Victor go over my head and nearly lost you.............................."

"That's enough" Sunset interrupted her trying her hardest not to scream." Celestia I made mistakes you made mistakes, but we cant go our whole lives full of guilt over our actions. You know even after I ran away from home I secretly missed you deeply and wished that things could have been different between us, but i ended up brushing it aside but I don't want that anymore. I want things to go back to the way they were 7 years ago before the storm , I want to be student and teacher again just like old times. That is if you'll accept me "

After her statement Celestia couldn't help but smile as she wiped her tears away.

"Sunset i would love nothing more than to be your teacher again " She said. " But the question is can you forgive this foolish Alicorn for dragging you away all those years ago?"

"Only if you can forgive this idiotic mare who let her jealousy get the better of her" Sunset said with a smile as tears started to form.

With nothing else to say the two mares brought each other into a warm forgiving embrace repairing their bond as student and teacher as tears of joy continued to run down both of their faces.

"Welcome back Sunset" Celestia said with a warm smile.

"Good to be back Celestia" Sunset replied with a warm smile of her own.

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Came a chorus of voices, and Celestia and Sunset then looked up to find the Rainbooms, Spike, Starlight, and the mane six peaking on one of the upstairs balcony.

"Really guy's? Sunset asked with a chuckle.

"Sorry Sunset we were just worried is all" Twilight said as she and the others made their way downstairs.

"It was your Rainbow dash's idea darling" Rarity said with a smug grin.

"Snitch" Other Dash whispered annoyed.

"So................................................................" Pinkie pie began" Is everything alright with you two?"

"Yup" Sunset answered.

"You all can rest assured that me and my student's bond has returned and it's never going away any time soon" Celestia reassured earning a chorus of hoorays and cheer's from each of their friends.

"Were so happy for you Sunset, you too your majesty" Other fluttershy said.

"Way to go Sunset" Other Dash jumped in.

"We knew you could do it darling" Other Rarity replied.

" I told ya it would work out fine" Other apple jack said with a wink.

"HORRAY FOR RECONCILLIATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Other Pinkie and her pony counterpart said in unison with their usual happy tones.

"Hehe thanks fellas" Sunset said with a chuckle but her expression soon changed when she realized that she had another important matter to attend to.

"Before we start our vacation guy's I gotta see my parent's" She said.

"Already taken care of Sunset, Tia wasn't the only one I invited over" Twilight said with a wink and then turned around to the entrance of the castles throne room and called out. " You can come on out now you two!"

Then a stallion and his wife soon walked into the room, and Sunset eyes widened at the sight of non other than her parents Heatwave and Milla Shimmer.

"Welcome home baby girl" Heatwave said with a warm smile.

Sunset then sniffed as fresh tears formed in her eyes and she soon ran up to her parents bringing them both into a hug which they were quick to return with tears of their own.

"MOM DAD!!!!!!!" Sunset cried out. " I'M SO SORRY I....................................."

"Shhhhhhh it's alright my dear" Milla said rubbing Sunsets back." We've heard everything and we forgive you"

"We were never mad at you Sunset" Heatwave reassured. " We're just so happy to have you back baby girl"

Sunset couldn't help but smile knowing that her parent's still cared about her and forgave her as well. The others couldn't help but tear up and smile at the heartwarming moment between Sunset and her parent's.

"I love you guys" Sunset said with a smile.

"We love you too Sunset" They both said in unison happy to see their baby girl again. After a few minutes the hug ended and Sunset soon wiped her tears before turning to her large group of friends.

"Well now that that's all settled, what do you guy's say we get this vacation started?" Sunset said with a smile.

"HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!" Both Raindow dashes said with excitement.

"So what should we do first?" Twilight asked.

"Well its still pretty early" Celestia jumped in. " What do you say we all go down to the diner and grab some breakfast? My treat, and then afterwords I'll take you all sight seeing in Canterlot"

"That sounds fabulous" other Rarity said.

"I'm in" other Dash replied. " A shot of the city of Canterlot would look great on my GoPro"

"Count us in too" Heatwave said while wrapping his hoof around his wife earning a smile on their daughters face.

"Then what are we waiting for then? " Sunset said excitedly. " Let get this vacation started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" And a chorus of cheers came from all of her friends and loved ones as they began to exit the castle to begin their weekend long vacation in Equestria. Many sins have been committed these past 7 years and while they seemed like they could never be repaired, it's never too late to make amends, friendships and families fall out from time to time but the bonds will never go away. And rest assured Sunsets bond as Student and teacher will never go away anytime soon and while the memories of that dreaded past cant be undone, at least they'll still have the rest of their lives to start over and get it right this time.

Author's Note

Again for those wondering about a few things in the story...........................................................

In my universe Starlight was another one of twilight and Sunset's old friends, however Starlight got accepted into another university after graduation and she and twilight haven't seen her since and after she found out about Sunset disappearing, she got the idea that Twilight and Celestia had something to do with it and plotted her revenge against the both of em not knowing the truth.

The humanized versions of Fluttershy, Dash, Pinkie, Rarity, and Applejack are refferred to as " other" as to not confuse them during their conversations with their pony counterpart's.

This doesn't take place in the finale of the show as Twilight in this story is still in her pseudo Alicorn form.

originally I was gonna have Discord appear after the reconciliation scene with Sunset and Celestia but I figured it would have had too many characters in the room.
