Berry's Sunset(Part Two)

"Why exactly are you crying?" Sunset continued prying.

"Well you see, I can't find my grandma anywhere. Especially with that awful magic stealer around, I'm worried miss. Golly, do you think something bad happened to her?" Cozy Glow sniffled and hid a sly grin behind her hoof. Octavia and Vinyl glanced at each other in confusion. Sunset raised an eyebrow.

"She looked like me, but older. She was an old mare. Last I saw was by town hall and then we got separated." Cozy explained. Sunset was till taken back by the accent, she never heard it before. She thought back to the old mare she had seen get her magic stolen and thrown. She quickly realized that she had looked an awful lot like the filly in front of her.

"One second." Sunset said as she gestured for the students to gather around a few steps away from the filly. "Did anyone check on that old mare?"

"I did." Human Lemon Hearts admitted. "She was dead." She whispered the last part and shuddered.

"I'm assuming getting the magic drained out was too much for her old body to handle." Sunset mused. "Okay, can you set me down?" Berry knelt down and placed Sunset down.

"None of us have seen your grandma, I'm sorry Cozy." Sunset lied and Applejack narrowed her eyes at the unicorn.

"Oh that's just awful." Cozy shuddered and stared up at the older mare. "I guess I just have to stay with you guys till we find her." She focused on the humans behind Sunset. "I'm impressed you managed to get a bunch of monkeys to follow you."

"We aren't monkeys." Fleetfoot pointed out. Ignoring her, Cozy kept talking. Berry picked Sunset back and idly scratched her ears.

"I would do anything to have a bunch of monkeys enslaved following me around doing my every bidding. Golly, that sounds exciting." Cozy said with a distant dreamy expression on her face.

Lemon Hearts glanced at Minuette nervously. Cozy jumped at seeing Sunset's concerned expression.

"I mean, having a bunch of friends like you do would be just spectacular. You're so lucky, Miss." Cozy hastily said. She quickly trotted off.

Sunset shook off her confusion. Strange filly, she mused. She jumped down out of Berry's arms and yelped out.

"Fuck." She whimpered. "Farther down than I thought." She took a step and fell over. Berry rolled her eyes and scooped her up.

"You hurt your leg, I'm carrying you. End of discussion." Berry told her.

"There is something wrong with that Cozy Glow." Bon Bon mumbled to Minuette who quickly nodded her agreement.

"I fucked up man. I fucked up so bad." Sunset groaned. "I should have just told her that her grandma was dead."

Berry rolled her eyes. "Telling someone that isn't easy. It's a human or well pony instinct in this case. I would have lied too."

Sunset glanced ahead and saw Cozy trotting up to a random house. She tapped on the door a few times with a hoof.

"Something about her bothers me." Bon Bon announced quietly.

"Like what?" Lyra asked, looking around at the few ponies out in the street. The group noticed they looked just like Sunset and Cozy, glazed eyes and lack of cutie marks. A pegasus flapped her wings and got a couple inches off the ground before falling onto her stomach. A unicorn with a lilac coat trotted up to them.

"I'm looking for my marefriend. Have you any of you seen her?" the unicorn asked. Sea Swirl stared at her in surprise.

"You sound just like me." she mumbled. The unicorn raised a brow and trotted around her.

"Huh. Humans I assume. Fascinating development, lack of a coat. No wings or a horn either." she stopped trotting and shoved her head against Sea Swirl's hand. "Lack of hooves too. Must be claws, potentially for grabbing things or ponies. I'm Sea Swirl, what's your name? Do you have a name?"

"So. This is gonna be crazy, but I'm Sea Swirl too." the human version mumbled.

The unicorn nodded. "Makes sense. Considering what has happened to Ponyville in the past and right now, this is nothing. Have you seen Shoeshine anywhere?"

A blue earth pony stumbled up to them.

"Sea Swirl! I've been searching all over Ponyville for you." the blue earth pony tackled the unicorn in a hug.

"Oh thank Luna you're okay. Some mare got killed because Tirek destroyed her house and it collapsed on her. I was worried you died too." Equestrian Sea Swirl quickly nuzzled her.

Equestrian Shoeshine sighed.

"I think I saw the mare you're talking about. Or well, what remains of her. I didn't look too close, didn't want to vomit." She looked up at the group and screamed, hiding behind Equestrian Sea Swirl.

"For a little pony, that is a loud scream." Rainbow muttered, covering her ears.

"You should hear her in bed." Pony Sea Swirl agreed and the human versions turned red. "At least she's not like Lyra and Bon Bon. Those are some loud ponies."

"We have more friends, yay." Cozy cheerfully called out as she trotted up. "I figured we would want some food because of us getting our magic stolen. Golly, we sure are lucky to have all these friends." She gestured to the house where a white pegasus with a watermelon mane waited.

Sunset sat on the floor, curled in a ball snoring softly.

"How can she sleep at a time like this?" Blueberry Cake questioned. The same pegasus grimaced.

"Getting our magic drained is a taxing and quite frankly a painful experience." She explained.

Human Blossomforth knelt down and looked her in the face.

"Huh, I'm a pegasus here. Cool." The pegasus shot a smirk her way.

"You also live in a cloud house. I'm just watching this for Cloudkicker till she gets back. She was one of the Wonderbolts sent to stop Tirek in Manehatten." She gave a shudder. "Hopefully she's okay. There's been a lot of missing ponies. He just started throwing ponies aside. Me and Flitter found a mare with her hoof sticking out of some debris."

"What's Flitter like here?" Thunderlane asked.

"She's a bitch. Mainly a bully, especially to Fluttershy. Cloudchaser too. Made her run away during tornado duty when she didn't get a high number of wingpower." Pony Blossomforth snarled out a cuss word as she tried to pick up a pan and burnt her hoof accidentally. "Sweet bucking Luna, that hurts." She whimpered and Fluttershy scooped her up.

"You poor thing. We must get you fixed up." Fluttershy rushed to a bathroom till she found a first aid kit. Human Blossomforth knelt down at a machine in the corner and started idly working on it.

"What is she doing?" Dizzy Twister demanded.

Cloudkicker waved a hand dismissively.

"Leave her be, building machinery is her hobby. If anyone here can understand what the hell that is, it's her and her pegasus double." She reassured the other girl. Sunset woke up with a start when the ground started shaking.

"W-what's happening?" Flitter nervously asked, hiding behind Cloudchaser.

"I'm not sure. We should go outside, maybe we will see something." Sunset and the pony Blossomforth nodded. The group quickly went outside and watched a rainbow slamming into the ground and a castle growing out of the ground.

"What the actual fuck." Shoeshine commented in awe as she watched. Sunset gave a dry laugh.

"Welcome to Equestria."

"Where the most weirdest stuff happens." Blossomforth agreed, observing her bandaged hoof. A rainbow flew over their heads.

"Huh strange." Rainbow muttered. Berry gave a gasping sound as she pointed at Sunset and Blossomforth. Their cutie marks reappeared and their eyes cleared up. Sunsets horn glowed orange and she smiled. The humans observed a bunch of other ponies getting their magic as Twilight flew past.

"Her mane looks awful." Rarity shuddered. The crowd of ponies cheered as they flew or teleported to the castle.

Sunset smirked as she rubbed her forehead against Berry's hand. Equestrian Sea Swirl was dragging the pony Shoeshine up to their doubles.

"Has anyone seen Cozy Glow?" Bon Bon quickly asked, looking around. She didn't see the small pegasus anywhere. Sunset shrugged as she teleported herself and the others to the castle.

"Sweet Celestia. Are you all seeing what I'm seeing?" Both Rarities mumbled.

"But who's is it?" Twilight questioned.

"I believe it is yours, Princess Twilight." She spun around at the voice and saw the princesses along with their human counterparts and Spike. Sunset narrowed her eyes at Discord as she and the other ponies knelt down and bowed. Celestia teleported the elements inside and Human Rainbow groaned.

"Why them and not us?" She groaned.

Sunset shrugged.

"Probably secret conversations, who knows."

The doors swung open and Twilight stood in the doorway with her wings flared out.

"Each one of us has something special, that makes us different, that makes us rare." She sang and Shoeshine rolled her eyes.

"Here we go again." She mumbled softly.

"We have a light that shines within us, that we were always meant to share." Fluttershy picked up singing as she flew in with Rainbow.

"And when we come together, combined with the light that shines within there isn't nothing we can't do, no battle we can't win. When we come together, there'll be a star to guide the way. It's inside us everyday, see it now." The group sang and human Fluttershy hid behind Rainbow Dash. A rainbow shot out from the throne floor and into the ceiling.

"Let the rainbow remind you that together we will always shine. Let the rainbow remind you that this will always be our time." Sunset scoffed as Discord handed Princess Celestia and Principal Celestia flowers.

"Let the rainbow remind you, that we will always shine." Twilight sang softly as she dragged Sunset and the others for a picture.

"Wait a minute, where's my throne?" Discord complained. Sunset growled softly and Sea Swirl held her back.

"Easy, girl. Pick your fights." She whispered and Sunset nodded.

"I don't think you're quite there yet." Fluttershy hovered next to him.

"Maybe you're right." He mused as he cautiously approached Sunset.

"Sunset? Uhm can we talk?" He nervously asked and she glared at him.

"No." She said simply. Twilight prodded her with her magic.

"Talk to him. As the Princess of Friendship, I must do everything I can to make a friendship last." Sunset rolled her eyes and trotted to a secluded part of the throne room, gesturing for Discord to follow her.

"What do ya think they're talking about?" Raindrops asked.

"I have no idea, but hugs! Hugs are good!" Both Pinkies exclaimed as Sunset gave Discord a hug.

She quickly trotted back.

"We should get back to our world now, people are probably wondering where we are." Sunset mumbled.

Princess Celestia nodded as she trotted to them.

"Do come back for a visit, my dear student. I've missed your company. We have so much to catch up one." Celestia gave a laugh. "Like how Cadence got replaced by the changeling queen at her own wedding and Twilight was the only one who knew something was wrong."

Cadence turned red.

"We don't need to talk about that." She mumbled.

"We should probably say goodbye to ponies." Fluttershy muttered.

Sea Swirl knelt down in front of her and Shoeshine's doubles.

"We will be back." She promised. "Keep Shoeshine out of trouble. I'll try to do the same with mine."

"You did good with that washing machine." Blossomforth hovered next to her double. "Come back whenever you want and we can work on some other projects together. Got some cool blueprints lying around at home."

Fluttershy squeezed her double in a tight hug.

"Stay safe."

Sunset teleported to the mirror with the others. Sighing, she jumped through. Cherry Berry jumped when she felt the statue she was leaning against vibrate. She backed away nervously staring at it. Her eyes widened when Sunset and Berry flew out of it.

"No way." She mumbled. "You guys were telling the truth."

"Well duh." Berry rolled her eyes.
The two stood up and stepped away as other people started to fly out. Bon Bon held a hand over her mouth, crawling to the other side of the statue. Lyra winced at the sound of vomiting.

"Thank God it's just me here." Cherry grunted. "Other people would lose their shit and assume they are on drugs." Her eyes lit up. "What did you all get up to?"

Berry and Sunset looked at each other and laughed.

"It's a long story." Berry admitted and Sunset nodded.

"Well you see, there was a lot of fighting going on." Sunsets voice faded as she and the other two walked away to the car. Octavia watched them leave with curiosity and raised an eyebrow.

"We owe her a lot. She kept us safe during the whole Tirek thing, even though she knew most of us didn't trust her." She mused and Vinyl nodded. "We should probably talk to her more."

"She's good in my books." Derpy announced and Lyra nodded.

"Absolutely." Raindrops agreed. "She did really good helping stop the Sirens too at the Battle of the Bands."

"I wonder what happened with that Cozy Glow and where she disappeared to." Bon Bon mused, shakily standing.

Cozy slammed her hooves into the mattress she had stolen and growled, looking around her cave.

"I was this close! This close to getting close to the Princess of Friendship and using her unicorn friend and her weird monkeys to do my bidding and be my friends. And then they all just disappear to Celestia knows where!" She picked up a young ponys skull. "It's not fair, is it Speed Well?" She moved the jawbone and made it appear like the skull was talking.

"No, not at all." She growled in a gravelly voice. She tossed it carelessly where she picked it up and it bounced.

"I'll just have to double my efforts." She grinned at her reflection.
