"WWAAAA" Sunset screamed as her body was trown in all directions like a ragdoll, while simultaneously seing all the colors of a rainbow all around her. She had forgotten how her first time using the portal had been. Thankfully it didn't take long, and a second later she was launched on the other side of the portal. There was a loud thud as she crashed on the floor, and rolled around, making her head spin.

"Ugh, i forgot how bad traveling between worlds is"

"Tell me about it" a mysterious voice said. "The first time me and Twilight have gone trough the portal we were nauseous for half an hour"

Sunset's head began to clear and with a quick look around, she found the source of the voice. "Spike? Is that you?" She asked while simultaneously tried and failed to stand up. After a few seconds she finally managed to do so, standing on two legs and looking around.

"Yeah, Twilight said that you were supposed to come today and asked me to stay here." The young dragon said with a confused stare. "We didn't know when you were going to show up, so i had to stay here the whole day, luckily i have my comic books, so i didn't get bored." Spike said while looking at the now unicorn. "You might want to stand on all four legs."

"Hm?" Was all that Sunset said as she remembered that she was a unicorn now. Quickly realizing that, she got an on all four and felt much more stable. "Woah, it's been so long. I kind of forgot i used to be a unicorn to be honest." She said as she finally took a look around. She was in a large room, more designed to be a storage room, the walls, roof and floor were made of what seems like Crystal. Behind the mirror was a glass door, leading to where was a mystery.

"Hey Spike, where does that door lead? I can see light from it." Spike turned his head to where the door was, and with a quick smile on his face. "Why don't you go see for yourself."

At those words, Sunset quickly trotted over there and tried to open the door however, the door was quite sturdy, and did not budge. her First thought was to smash her body into the door, but Spike quickly reminded Sunset that she has a horn.

Looking a bit embarrassed, Sunset remembered again that she was in fact, a unicorn, and with a few seconds to calm down, she finally remembered what she had forgotten a long time ago. The flow of magic, the lessons she had learned when she was younger about levitation, and when she felt ready, she enveloped the handles of the door in her red magic, pulling it open.

What was in front of her made her stop all movements. Beyond the door was a small balcony, overseeing the little town down below. Sunset could see the houses, the greenery, and ponies walking around. She saw the birds flying though the sky. She could feel the wind on her face and coat.

As she breathe in the unpolluted air, tears started to appear in her eyes. "I.. I never thought I'd get to see this again."

"Beautiful isn't it?" Said a new voice that Sunset could recognize everywhere. On her left stood Twilight, looking ahead with a smile on her. "Every day this view seems to get more and more beautiful."

Turning her head to look at the orange pony, with a smile she said. "Hello Sunset, It's good to see you again."

After a few seconds for her mind to reboot, Sunset finally decided to respond. "I knew you were an alicorn, but to see it in person, it's still hard to believe. I have to say, the wings look good on you."

"Thanks Sunset." Twilight said with a light blush. "I also wanted to see how you looked originally. And I must say, You are Stunning"

"Heh, thanks." The unicorn said while blushing very hard. While she was busy looking at Twilight, Spike cleared his throat.

"Twilight, why don't you show Sunset around the castle and town? I'm sure she would be delighted to see them."

"YES! Oh, i can't wait to show you around! Come Sunset, let me show you the place i call home." Twilight quickly walked away only stopping to look back to see if Sunset was following her. Sunset for her part, began to walk slowly, as to take in all the sights the castle was offering. She had heard from Twilight that her castle was a new addition for the town, and that the castle itself was created by the elements of harmony.

While Twilight talked about the castle Sunset eyes were everywhere. She was looking in all directions, trying to see and at the same time analyze how such a castle was built by the harmony tree. The interior of the castle was not that entertaining if Sunset was being honest with herself. Most of what Twilight had shown her so far were hallways, empty room still waiting for decorations, and a lot of purple. After some more walking Sunset finally got to see something new. A throne room, but unlike any others, different from the throne room at the castle Celestia resided in. Instead of one throne there were six, spread around a round platform with a map of Equestria. The room Itself was big, adorned with tapestries of the achievements Twilight and her friends had achived. Large colorful windows, and banners with Twilight's cutie mark were near the ceiling. It was a sight to behold. At her left side she saw two big golden doors that were probably the entrance to the castle if Sunset guessed correctly.

Sunset could feel that this room, was the hearth of the castle. She could feel ancient magic here, more likely the magic of the tree of harmony. "Woah. This is amazing."

"Right? This is the center and the most important room of the castle. The hall of friendship. This is where me and my friends usually come and discuss friendship problems or important matters." She pointed out at the map with her hoof. "That right there is the Cutie Map, when there is a serious friendship problem, the map will let us know, and we are tasked to solve it. It also shows a map of Equestria in real time. So if something were to happen to a region, the map would show it." She finished as she walked near the six thrones surrounding the map. Sunset for her part began to examine the thrones. They were made of the same crystals as everything in this castle, but were colored white, with the cutie mark of the respective ponies on the back. Sunset wondered how are these thrones comfortable if they are made of crystal, but she decided to put the thought in the back of her head for now.

Giving Twilight her attention she asked. "So, are we going to get outside? I miss everything here, the clean air, the green grass, the hay burgers especially."

"There is a time for everything, but you are right. Next destination, Ponyville!" Twilight shouted in excitement while opening the golden doors. "I can't wait to show you around. I'll have to show you the market, after that, the boutique, Sugarcube corner, The apple farm and the town itself. After that we'll come back to the castle."

"Lead the way, but i must say, i am not particularly fond of seing the girls again, even if they are different versions of them."

"Don't worry." Twilight assured Sunset as she began to walk. "One thing i noticed between the two versions, is that my friends are more mature. And they won't know who you are. I mean, they know, they just don't know you."

Contrary to Sunset's nervousness, Twilight was right. The pony versions of her friends were more mature, they were adults, with the exception of Pinkie Pie who seemed more like a child then the human one. They have heard from Twilight of what transpired when she went to the human world, and luckily for Sunset, they were very nonchalant about everything. On the bright side, she finally got to eat hay burgers. The taste was more delicious then she remembered, be it because of nostalgia, because it was years since she last ate one or simply because they were that delicious, Sunset couldn't tell, but she was still happy.

Later in the evening, Twilight and Sunset finally got back to the castle. As they entered the castle, Spike was there to greet them. "Hey Twi, hey Sunset, had fun?"

"Yes Spike, we did. But." Twilight let out a yawn. "I am a bit tired, and i do have some work for tomorrow, so i think I'm going straight to bed. Sorry i can't stay more with you Sunset, but being a princess isn't easy work."

"Don't worry Twi, i get it. Honestly i am just as tired. I guess the excitement of being here got to be a little bit too much. Anyway, good night Twilight." With a nod, Twilight went to her room.

"Well, let me show you were you be sleeping Sunset." The young dragon gestured for Sunset to follow as he began walking. Luckily, the walk was no more then 2 minutes, as they soon got to the guest room.

Spike opened the door to reveal a nice spacious room, with a king sized bed in the middle. Decorated beautifully by all the tapestries and ornaments. "This is it, hope you like it."

With a big yawn, Sunset began walking inside the room, going straight for the bed. "Yeah Spike, that will do nicely."

Author's Note

Chapter three is finally done, now, about 100 more to go.

I will be honest, i wanted to write more in this chapter. I wanted to write the interactions Sunset had with the pony versions of her friends, but i just didn't know how. I tried like two times, but in the end i just ended up scraping the whole thing. I wasn't happy with it. And that is such a shame, if i had the skills to write good, this chapter would have easily been 5000 words minimum. Alas, because i am not a skilled writer, I'll have to settle on what i CAN write.

Trust me, it sucks for both me, you and me. But i still hope you enjoyed it. Bad as it is.
