Prologue: Dear Sunset Shimmer

Chapter One: Dear Sunset Shimmer

A true princess in any world leads not by forcing others to bow before her, but by inspiring others to stand with her.

I lay there hacking and coughing desperately trying to catch my breath as the pink smoke fills the room getting thicker and thicker. Where did I go wrong? I think to myself, tears flowing down my cheeks as my sister lies dead on the ground. Why did I leave my sister, why did I abandon her again? I have let down so many ponies.. my ponies.

I look to the window as I watch in horror the kingdom I have sacrificed so much to protect as one after another balefire bombs explode in a giant mushroom of green flames, and my heart shatters as I have lost everything I held near and dear to my heart.

As I plan on teleporting to a safe area I remember one pony that isn't gone, one pony I love that I can still save, one that I haven't lost fully yet. I teleport an old brown journal and begin to write not only a warning letter but a goodbye letter. I only hope she still has her’s and that she see’s this.

“Dear Sunset Shimmer…”

Chapter One: Good bye

Chapter One: Good bye

A weighty choice is yours to make: the right selection or a big mistake. If a wrong choice you choose to pursue, the foundations of home, crumble without you.

The bell from the school rings and all the students flood out of the classrooms in a hurry to make it home and escape the drooling days of school. As desperate they are to leave they are more cautious of one student in particular, Sunset Shimmer. Sunset walks out of her class room with a smug smile on her face as her peers avoid eye contact or being in her way so as not to offend the bully.

Everyone knew the number one rule with the high school bully, stay out of her way. Unfortunately one student who was a bit too slow and didn’t notice Sunset behind her was in Sunset's way. Sunset harshly nudges her to the side making the girl yelp in surprise. “Why don't you watch where you’re going!?” She ye’ll angrily at the student making the unfortunate girl run off crying. No one does or say anything and avoids eye contact then goes back to their lives knowing they can't do anything without being destroyed by the bully. Sunset smiles as she continues walking straight to her locker.

She opens her locker revealing a whole sorts of items. From school books, note books, extra clothes including her bikers jacket, and all sorts of various items. As she grabs her stuff a sudden book glows inside dimly and vibrates. Sunset’s eyes widen and she stands there in shock not expecting to get that old journal to ever get a message especially after so long. Great I bet it’s Sun-Ass trying to bribe me or convince me to come back. Before she slamming the locker trying to forget about the journal she hesitates, just wondering what Celestia wrote, or even if it was Celestia that wrote in there.

Sunset grabs the journal and heads off to the back of the school to curious to read it instead of reading it in the privacy of her own home, if you can even call it a home. She hurriedly runs to the back and lays against the wall and quickly opens the journal and begins to read it.

Sunset zoomed through the streets only slowing down on a stop light or the usual spots cops like to park their car waiting for other people to speed pass by them, and the occasional stop sign. She passed the nice neighborhood and into an abandoned section, there she parked her bike in a hidden spot and covered it with a tarp.

Quickly she ran up to her room on the 4th floor slamming the door open and just as hastily slammed it shut. Sunset took off the helmet, throwing it to the side of the room on her dirty mattress breathing heavily, her heart beating loudly in her ears. After a few minutes of deep breathing she got her backpack that was slumped next to her grabbing the journal and continued to read it.

Before I go I just want to say I am so sorry, I’m sorry I abandoned you, I’m sorry I wasn't a better teacher and mentor, but most importantly I’m sorry I wasn't a mother that you needed. I realize now that what you needed wasn't a teacher, especially one that was trying to control your destiny but a loving and caring mother. I know this is late and I don't deserve to say this or write it, but I love you my daughter. You are more than I could ever ask for and you have made me so proud. I only hope you can say the same about me.

From your loving mother, Celestia.

She just kept on reading it over and over again begging it wasn't real that it was some type of joke that she'd get a message any minute saying that it was all just a big joke! Deep down inside she knew Celsetia would never joke about death or war like this. Sunset just laid there against the door and tears falling down her face freely as she openly started weeping.

For so long she waited for her revenge for so long she was going to show Celestia that she was worthy of becoming an alicorn! But now all she could do was weep for her old mentor… her mother. She tucked her legs in holding them and her head tightly muttering to herself “no, no, no, no, no”. A thought came to her mind after a bit. s-she called me mom. Sunset quietly said in her mind hoping it was and wasn't true. I always wanted to call her mom.

After a few hours of cry she got up dragging herself to bed and flopped face first, not even bothering to get changed or eat. All she wanted to do was sleep all she could do was sleep. Her blood shot eyes slowly fluttering close and finally she passed out. The last thing she thought as her mind laid to rest and enter the dream world was. I hope this was all just a bad dream... I miss mom I need her.

Chapter Two: What Now?

Chapter Two: What Now?

“We are not flawless, we are works in progress”

It was the next day as Sunset's phone alarm went off, and she tiredly pressed the stop button. Despite getting a full night sleep it didn't feel like she got any type of sleep as she groggily got up and brushed her teeth. She didn't feel like eating, in fact she didn't feel like doing anything. Not changing into new clothes, not going out for a ride, not going to school, or even standing. The only reason she got up was because it was a Friday and she'd rather not have to stay for her days off at school. She got back in her room and checked her book hoping something would change. Nope it looks like it wasn't some horrific nightmare, She thought sadly in her mind.

After putting on some deodorant and brushing her hair a bit to look presentable she tiredly walked out of her room, leaving the building, and heading off on her bike. Once she got to the school she got off her bike and readied herself for the grueling school lectures and boring assignments like normal. Unfortunately today was not a normal day for her. Will it ever be a normal day for me now? She questioned in her mind that was getting more and more dark with each thought. Before she could brood over on this her thoughts were interrupted by the bell of the school. Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! She thought in her mind as she ran to her classroom.

Entering the class room she was met by her fellow students bored out of their mind and the teacher, Cranky. “Hello Sunset, you are.. Late. Take a seat and get out your notebook.” Sunset obliged and opened her note book, quickly writing down what the teacher wrote down. As the math lecture continued Sunset couldn’t help but wonder.

What in the world could have happened to start this war? What could have happened that all life is gone?! Celestia can't really be gone… can she? Sunset's thoughts were halted once more by Cranky slapping his ruler against his desk “I’m sorry, is my class boring you?” He asked, clearly annoyed by the young girl “N-no sir, sorry it won't happen again.” Sunset blurted out. Satisfied with the answer, Cranky nodded and went back to writing on the chalkboard.

What normally felt like a few hours of school felt like it dragged on for Sunset. It’s not that she wasn’t used to it, but it all felt like a blur but the day dragged all along until the grueling end. Luckily for her none of the students have picked up on her downer mood so far. Except for one student with long pink hair, the whole day whenever Fluttershy could she would keep a close eye on Sunset noticing small things. She noticed the small bags in her eyes, the slight red to them from what seems a lack of sleep, the way her body kind of slugged through every motion, her innate action of zoning out into deep thought with a worrying expression. All of these signs worried Fluttershy greatly despite being bullied by the redhead girl.

What was in that journal that made her so sad? Fluttershy thought as she kept tabs on Sunset. She wanted to help so badly but couldn’t not only from her shy nature but worried confronting the situation might scare Sunset off.. Also maybe getting shoved in a locker. She sighed sadly and a tad frustrated with herself, unable to help the girl that in her heart clearly needed help as soon as possible. I wish I was as brave as Applejack. Fluttershy thought sadly, wishing and hoping she could be brave and honest enough to confront Sunset and her worrying mood.

Applejack was going through her day like any normal Friday. She got up early as usual, did some chores, helped Applebloom with her homework, ate breakfast, and went through school. Just like any other day, except one nagging feeling the farm girl couldn't get out of her head. She didn’t know what it was or why she was somewhat concerned about this feeling but something was up. Then it hit her like a stack of bricks, Sunset!.. But wait why her of all people?

She gathered her thoughts trying to connect every moment she saw the school bully. After thinking a bit about it she noticed Sunset was… tired. Not the normal tired but a very special type of tired. Kind of like with Granny when Ma and Pa died. The farm girl shook those sad thoughts away and focused back on Sunset Shimmer. What could have happened ta her? And why do I feel bad for her? Fortunately for AJ as she approached home there was plenty of time to think while doing her usual farm work. What in the world is going on with that girl?
