Berry's Sunset(Part Two)
Chapter I
Load Full StoryNext ChapterSunset gazed at the students in front of the portal. Lyra bouncing up and down eagerly, Bon Bon trying(and failing) to calm her down, Berry sitting next to her.
"You nervous?" Berry asked knowing her answer.
"Yes." Sunset admitted. Her journal vibrated and she quickly read it.
"Alright, Twilight says it's approved for the field trip. Princess Celestia is eager for it happen." Sunset announced. "I'll go first, just to assist everyone getting used to hooves and not feet." With that said, she jumped through the portal. She smiled as she felt the magic rushing through her horn. I'm home, she thought as she inhaled the fresh Canterlot air. She stepped aside as a bunch of students tumbled through and expectedly, Principal Celestia, Luna and Cheerilee followed next.
"Uh Sunset darling, you're naked. We can see your, well everything." Rarity pointed as a bunch of people looked around. When some noticed the naked unicorn in front of them, they looked away blushing.
"You're also short." Scootaloo called out.
Sunset snorted and rolled her eyes.
"You guys are naked too-" She was cut off she stared up in shock. "Why are you still humans?"
"Aren't you the magic expert?" Flash Sentry asked.
Sunset rolled her eyes.
"Yes but this shouldn't be possible." She groaned. Fluttershy squeeled and picked her up.
"You are so adorable. What is going through your mind right now?" She shoved her face into Sunset's.
"That I want down or I will teleport you to the Neighalayas." Sunset grumbled.
Shoeshine snickered.
"The Neighalayas?" She questioned. Sunset rolled her eyes as she was put down. Sunset's eyes widened as she felt a build up of magic. She used her magic to make a bunch of glasses appear and put them on her classmates faces. A loud pop and a flash of light blinded her for a second. She let out a frustrated groan as the spots left her vision.
"I really should have teleported some glasses for me." She groaned, rubbing her eye with a hoof. Fluttershy quickly put her down and Sunset grinned as she saw who was in front of her.
"Discord!" She eagerly hugged him. "Hi, it's been a while."
"What is that?" Watermelody demanded as she stepped back.
"He's a draconequus." Sunset explained. "He's also a God. Lord of chaos and disharmony. He once ruled Equestria but was turned to stone as a punishment."
Discord chuckled.
"Hello my dear Sunset. How did you get humans in Equestria?" He asked.
Sunset shrugged and Fluttershy let out an aww at the gesture.
"Buck if I know dude. It just happened, I guess. They were supposed to be ponies." Sunset mumbled.
"Oh. Princess Celestia is looking for and hoping to speak to you." Discord leaned in conspiratorially. "You should really talk to her, she misses you and wants to fix your guys relationship."
Sunset frowned. "Tell her I'm sick and didn't come. Please." She begged. "I'm not ready for that yet."
Discord shrugged. "Too late, because here she comes." He smiled. "You got this." Right after he said that, the door opened. A white alicorn entered the room followed by a dark blue one, a pink one and Twilight.
Sunset bowed and the students shifted nervously. They could feel the power radiating off the four alicorns.
"Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence and Princess Twilight. It's good to see you again, Twilight." Sunset said nervously, eyes flicking to Celestia.
"Hello, my dear pupil. You don't have to bow to us." Princess Celestia stated warmly.
Principal Celestia flinched at the sound of her voice coming from the pony.
"Hello Sunset. I've missed you." Twilight hugged her smiling and Sunset eagerly returned it.
"Why are they still humans, Twilight? They should be ponies." Sunset questioned.
Twilight gave a sigh and waved her hoof.
"When information about the portal became public knowledge, our world's Lyra wanted to meet a human. She asked me to cast a spell over it to keep them as humans if anypony ever crossed over." Twilight explained. "You're a pony because you are from this world, you were exempt from the spell. The spell will last because the portal was altered temporarily. Easy fix after our Lyra meets a human."
"Me and Tia are princesses here?" Earth Luna asked, blushing slightly at the focus she got.
"Yes, and she can raise the moon. Celestia raises the sun, Cadence makes sure everypony stays in love with their partners and Twilight makes sure everypony stays friends." Sunset explained.
Princess Celestia stepped in front of Sunset and she flinched at the gaze of her former teacher.
"Sunset Shimmer. You broke Equestrian law when you stole the crown. I'm sorry for my actions that lead you to this. I cast you out after you telling me what you saw in the portal. It wasn't very Princess like of me and I should not have done it. I hope you forgive me, my little pony." Celestia said sorrowfully.
Sunset nervously looked around. Berry nodded encouragingly, even Shoeshine appeared to encourage her. Roseluck smirked at her and gave a thumbs up.
"I'm sorry too. Nothing I can say will justify what I did. It was wrong." Sunset admitted softly. She stared down at her hooves and sighed. She felt a pair of white hooves embrace her and she stared up in shock. Princess Celestia hugged her and smiled down.
"I've missed you so much." Celestia sighed. "We have some dignitaries to take care of in the Crystal Empire. After we are done there, we were gonna take you and the students to Ponyville for the remainder of the visit."
"Uhm, how would we even get there? We're kinda big and trains won't fit us all." Sweetie Belle asked.
Princess Celestia smirked at the young girl.
"You realize you're standing in a supply closet with five powerful unicorns, don't you?" She teasingly asked.
"You might wanna cover your eyes. It's about to get very, very bright in here." Sunset warned. A loud popping sound and a bright light filled the room.
"It's absolutely gorgeous!" Rarity gushed as she took in the sight of the Crystal Empire. The other students made murmurs of awe as they looked around.
"Celestia kill me now." Sunset muttered as both Celestia's looked at her with raised eyebrows. "That might have not been the greatest thing to say, given present company." She gave a nervous laugh.
"We will leave you here Twilight, looks like your friends are here and might have questions." Princess Celestia said with a smirk. Sunset followed her gaze and saw the pony versions of her human friends.
"Hello darling." Equestrian Rarity greeted Twilight. Twilight smirked.
"I have a few people you should meet." She replied. "Sunset? Bring them here please."
Equestrian Rainbow Dash narrowed her eyes.
"Sunset? As in Sunset Shimmer? The one who stole the crown?" She demanded. Sunset rolled her eyes in exasperation as she brought the human versions to the front.
"Yes, that is me. Glad you remembered." She said dryly.
Human Rainbow Dash circled her pony counterpart.
"This is the probably the weirdest thing to ever happen to me." She announced.
Equestrian Rainbow snorted.
"Seriously? This is like, bottom of the list for me. I fought a dragon off, fought Nightmare Moon and totally kicked her sorry flank." She bragged.
"There was a bit more to it than that, sugarcube." Equestrian Applejack rolled her eyes as she stared at her human counterpart. "Howdy." She tipped her hat.
Human Applejack returned the gesture.
"Howdy there." She greeted.
"Quite distasteful of me to be running around naked." Human Rarity scoffed as she over looked her pony form. "Though the mane is quite adorable."
"Quite adorable, yes." Equestrian Rarity agreed. She examined her counterparts skirt and shirt. "Quite the eye fetching outfit, darling. You must stop by my boutique later."
The two Fluttershy's stared at each other before hiding behind their respective Rainbow Dash's.
"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie." The human Pinkie grinned at her pony equivalent.
"Oh my gosh! Me too. This is so cool." Equestrian Pinkie screamed.
"Maybe we should keep the two Pinkies apart, the two of them could tear apart worlds together." Sunset mused. Twilight giggled at that.
"Too late now, but they could rule the world if they wanted." She agreed.
"Seems like just yesterday I was saving this place from being totally destroyed." A familiar voice cut in. A baby dragon waved his hand as he walked up. "Hey do you guys remember that?"
"A dragon!" Lyra cried. "Look Bonnie, an honest to God to dragon!"
Bon Bon rolled her eyes.
"Yes Lyra, I see him." She replied.
"Spike darling, you are here too?" Human Rarity asked as she leaned down to pick him up. A flash of yellow knocked her down as human Fluttershy picked him.
"A baby dragon. So adorable." She rubbed his head affectionly. Spike stared in shock.
"I forgot they were coming here. Great, two Rainbow Dash's was exactly what Equestria needed. Because that totally doesn't spell disaster." He commented sarcastically.
"Hush it Spike. And yes we were there Spike. You only mentioned it about fifteen times on the train here." Equestrian Rainbow grumbled.
"Yes, and we never hear a peep out of you about your exploits." Equestrian Rarity pointed out.
Equestrian Rainbow let out a sheepish chuckle.
"Point taken." She conceded.
Twilight faced the pony versions.
"I'm glad you all came, but I don't think it's gonna be that exciting. I pretty much just have to smile and wave as the dignitaries arrive." Twilight grumbled with a wave of her hoof.
"Yes, but you get to smile and wave as a princess." Equestrian Rarity piped in with a smile.
"Exactly darling." The human Rarity agreed.
"And how exactly is that smiling and waving like not a princess?" Equestrian Applejack questioned.
"It isn't." Twilight said softly.
Sunset frowned at that as she listened to them talking. The ponies looked to each other confused before Fluttershy spoke up.
"What's wrong, Twilight?" She asked.
"Why the loooooong face?" Equestrian Pinkie asked as she popped in front of Twilight and pulled on her face.
"Dear god." Sunset mumbled as Shoeshine snickered.
"How often do you think she does?" Shoeshine wondered aloud.
"Trust me, ya don't wanna know." Equestrian Applejack stated.
"I just haven't been sure about things lately, it seems like my new role as princess doesn't equate to that much." Twilight answered.
"That's just silly." Equestrian Applejack retorted with a wave of her hoof. "You got a real important role in Equestria."
"Princess Celestia wouldn't have asked you to come today if she didn't think so." Equestrian Fluttershy piped in.
"She's right. Without you keeping everypony staying friends, Equestria would fall into a disarray on that front." Sunset agreed.
"I guess you're right." Twilight admitted.
"Of course we are, now hurry along. You don't want to risk having that important role diminished because you're tardy for your royal meet and greet." Equestrian Rarity pointed out as she trotted forward.
"You guys can explore if you wish, or you can come to the castle. Just stay out of sight if you do please. I don't want to get sent to magic kindergarten or something if they see you." Twilight said, smiling at the students and Sunset. "Sunset can show you around, she came here on winter break for the first time."
Sunset clapped her hooves together.
"We can go to my favorite place here." She grinned. "The library!"
Equestrian Rainbow rolled her eyes.
"Great, we got two Twilight's around essentially." She grumbled. Sunset snorted and levitated a pillow in her magic. She threw it at the pegasus and sent her flying to the ground.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to throw it that hard." Sunset apologized as the pegasus stared her in the eyes.
"Me and you, pillow fight later tonight." Equestrian Rainbow growled.
Lyra giggled.
"Is that what we are calling sex now?" She teased. Her expression turned to a grimace as Bon Bon elbowed her in the ribs hard. Sunset turned and looked at her and gave a grin.
"At least I get sex, Lyra." She teased. Berry turned a bright shade of red and hide her face in her hands. Shoeshine and Sea Swirl noticed this and both grinned wickedly.
"Stepping things up a notch I see." Shoeshine whispered.
"Are we seriously going to a library?" Rainbow demanded.
"For a moment. I need to return a book I borrowed last time I was here." Sunset admitted as she patted her saddlebag with a hoof. "Might have to pay a fee so I brought some bits with me."
"What the hell is a bit?" Thunderlane asked. Sunset quickly levitated a gold coin for everyone to see.
"This is a bit." She announced.
Bon Bon made a gasping sound.
"You're telling me you pay with gold coins?" She demanded.
"Well yeah. It's Equestria's currency. They're very common." Sunset explained, snickering at a few of her fellow classmates expressions.
"Right this way and we can get this underway." Sunset stated as she trotted forward.
"This world is weird." Vinyl muttered.
"A tad bit. It has a charm to it though." Octavia pointed out.
