Sunset Shimmer closed her eyes, opened them up, and closed them again. The third day after she talked with Princess Twilight has come. For the past two days she tried to reach out to her former friends, with no avail. This was the last day before her departure from this world, so she decided to try everything in her power to get a hold of at least one of her former friends to say her goodbyes.

With a sigh she decided that she had enough moping around, and got off the bed.

"Alright, today is my last day, i need to get a hold of at least one of them. But how?" Sunset said while grabbing a towel. Her inner mind told her to take a shower, and after a sniff, she couldn't agree more.

Going into the bathroom of the Building, she got undressed and started the process of preparing for a shower. While Alca's Mountain had most of what she needed, the one thing she didn't had was hot water.

In the begging, when she first decided that this was to be her home, she hated taking showers. Having no access to hot water was a problem, and she rarely took one, however, she hated being dirty and oily even more. One of the first thing that she discovered was that the human sweat a lot. Sunset was glad that at least her sweat didn't smell, but she still felt dirty. After years of staying in this world, and after countless curses, at some point she got used to the cold water. And she was thankful for that.

The bathroom itself was a big, designed for many workers to use it after their shift ended. There were many showers and many toilets, if she ever had guests, at least they wouldn't have to fight over who to go first. There was also a sauna, but because there was no hot water it was used more as a strorage room. Sunset always thought it was a shame, and she vowed that someday she would build a furnace so she can get the room working again.

After a nice cold shower to wake her up, she finally decided that staying naked was not an option, and she quickly got to picking what clothes to wear. In the end she decided on black jeans, a fur long sleeved t-shirt, a brown lether jacket designed more for fall then winter, and a pair of black boots.

After she was satisfied with her outfit Sunset turned her attention to her backpack. She needed to take some thing before her journey began. But before she could start packing, the journal buzzed.

"Hello Sunset. I am opening the portal now. I will be in Ponyville with some business, but i asked spike to stay here and welcome you when you decide to come. I can't wait to show you around. I have everything planned. First we're going to the market, then we're..."

"Twilight, thanks again for this." Sunset quickly interrupted Twilight before she started her ramblings. She liked Twilight, but her rants could go on for hours when she was exited.

"I still have some business to take care of then i will be heading for the portal. See you soon."

Sunset closed the journal and sighed. She was doing a lot of that lately, that and talking to herself. Puting that in the back of her head she looked at the backpack once again. "time to get started."

She didn't pack much, a sleeping bag, some tools that she would need, and some canned food. Satisfied with her progress she slung her backpack over her back and picked her helmet. After going down the stairs she turned a right and another left to a room where her bike was. It was a present from Flash, before they broke up. It wasn't the prettiest, but Sunset liked it nonetheless.

"Who to go first?" Sunset began to wonder as she took her bike outside and locking the doors. After some thinking she decided.

"Sweetie Belle, darling. Can you bring me the teal fabric i have in the bottom drawer?" Asked Rarity with tiredness in her voice. Last night she stayed up late because she suddenly had an idea for a glamorous dress. And she needed to something to take her mind off the recent debacle that happened recently anyway.

Sunset Shimmer had posted those pictures, she was sure of it. No matter how much she tried to lie, Rarity knew that Sunset was just putting up an act. Just as she did 3 years ago, when she pretend to be Rarity's friend, started a rummor that she was no longer a virgin, told Rarity it wasn't she that spread the rumor (with success as Rarity believed her) and then spreading more rummors behind her back. "No more." She thought to herself. If Sunset was going back to her old ways, then so be it. She would not fall for her schemes again.

"Here you go Rarity, is this the one?" Sweetie Belle asked unsure if she got the right one or not. "You have like three or four light blue colored pieces of fabric in that drawer, so i hope i got the right one".

"Ah yes darling, this is the one. Thanks again for helping me with this dress. I have the ideea in my head, and i'm too preoccupied trying not to lose it." Said Rarity as she took the piece of fabric and placing it in the middle of the dress. "Ah yes, this should do nicely."

"No problem Rarity, I enjoy spending time with you. We didn't get to do that lately. You were always with your friends, and i missed my big sister."

"Oh you sweet thing, i am truly sorry about that. It seems like i have failed as a big sister. But i promise you that from now on, you'll have me more often. We can go shopping later if you want. I do seem to have ran out of some materials i need." Rarity said while looking at a notebook containing the materials she had and those that are missing. "After that we can get some ice cream. Oh, it will be a wonderful day!"

Before Sweetie could respond there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it!" Said Sweetie as she rushed to the door. Scoothaloo was supposed to come today, but Sweetie though that she would come later. Oh well, i guess she got bored at home and came faster." Opening the door, Sweetie came face to face with someone she did not expect.

Sunset looked at Sweetie Belle with worry. "Hey, Sweetie, is Rarity home? I need to talk to her."

"No!" Was all that Sweetie had said before closing the door. She turned around and began walking before more knocks were heard. "Ugh." She turned again and opened the door. "What do YOU want?"

"Please Sweetie, i know Rarity hates me now, but i need really need to talk to her."

Sweetie scoffed. "And say the same lies again? No, Rarity is finally in a good mood after you back stabed her! And I'm not letting her anywhere near you!"

Before they could continue, Rarity came in the room. "Sweetie belle, who is at the door? You've been gone for..."

"Hey Rarity!" Sunset said with an awkward grin. "i have something to talk to you about."

Rarity quickly told Sweetie Belle to go back to her room while she told Sunset off. "Oh, so it's not enough to call me and the other girls twenty times a day, now you decided to come to my house as well?" Rarity said while putting a hand on her face. "What do you want Sunset? You know you are the last person i want to see right now."

"Look Rarity, I know you don't believe me. I've tried to get to the bottom of this, i really tried. But i can't anymore." Sunset said in a sad tone. "So now i have come to ask for a favor." She took some keys from her pocket and handed them to Rarity. "i am leaving soon, and i want you to keep the keys to my house untill i return, or if i return." The last words we said in such a quiet tone that it would make Fluttershy seem loud. "I am going back to Equestria."

The last sentence caught Rarity by surprise. While she did not want to see Sunset right know, and she prayed she would leave somewhere far away from her, but she did not expect to hear those words. "You, are going back?"

"Yes. Now that i don't want to rule the school again or want to overthrow Princess Celestia anymore, and with this whole incident that occurred, i have decided it is time to do what I've been puting off for years. Going back to see my parents. I know we are not friends anymore, but i wanted to at least say my goodbyes before i leave. You are actually the only one who i got to see, the rest didn't even opened the door."

To say that Rarity was surprised was an understatement. She hated Sunset, for sharing the secrets of her friends, for posting embarrassing pictures resulting in Rarity becoming the laughing stock of the school, for lying to her with a straight face. She hated Sunset, but in that moment, she had a single thought. "What if Sunset was innocent. Sure, she was a backstabbing bitch in the past, but i have seen her change after Twilight and us defeated her." Puting the thought in the back of her mind for now, looked at Sunset and took the keys. "Alright, I'll keep them safe."

Without another word, Sunset turned and began walking to her bike, but not Without looking one last time at her friend. "Goodbye Rarity."

With her former friend gone, Rarity closed the door and with a sigh, she took out her phone, ready to message the girls. But before she started typing she had a thought. "If i am the only one who knows Sunset is going back to Equestria, wouldn't that be concrete proof that if the account continues to post, Sunset would be innocent?" With another sigh, Rarity put her phone back into her pocket. Right now she didn't have the energy required to continue working on her dress.

Sunset was standing in front of the statue she looked at the mirror with intensity. Did she really wanted to go trough with this? "No, the time for hesitation has long passed, i need to do this." She left her bike back home, she gave the keys to Rarity, and she said her goodbyes. "It's now or never i guess." And with a step, she went inside of the portal.

Author's Note

Hello again wonderful Friends, It's ya boy.
This chater was hard to write because i had to switch between the perspective of multiple characters. I think I've done a pretty good job if i do say so myself.

I didn't want to write how Sunset goes to every one of her friends and no one opens the door, so i skipped straight to Rarity, to save time. And honestly, it would have been quite boring to read how Sunset tried and failed to get a hold of the other four, but failing.

If you have any criticism about this fic, don't hold back. I do Enjoy a little bit of Constructive Criticism, so i say it again, don't hold back.
