Dear Sunset Shimmer, Starlight told me that you retrieved your new journal. And I was thinking, my friends here in Equestria would like to meet you and get to know you. Won't you return here for a while? You have friends here, remember?

Twilight wrote in her journal to Sunset. It was fairly long and well-written. She was hoping Sunset would agree and visit for a few days. But again, she was sure that the ambitious unicorn was busy with her life in the human world. She put away her journal and went out to get something to eat.

"Starlight, keep an eye on my journal will you? Alert me if Sunset responds. I'll be at SugarCube Corner."

"Sure Twilight," replied Starlight

Five hours passed and Starlight saw no reply in the journal.

"Ugh, how long does it take to reply to a simple request? Not this long, surely."

She was unsure of why it was taking Sunset this long to reply.

Then suddenly, the confusion was answered. Sunset Shimmer burst through the portal. Starlight's face lit up, she was so happy to see her unicorn friend again.

"Sunset! Hi!"

"Starlight! What's up? I received Twilight's message, and she's right. I should meet the pony versions of my friends back at Canterlot High," responded Sunset.

"Hehheh, well I'm glad you're here. They're really wanting to meet you."

Sunset smiled at her pony friend. They both trotted off to SugarCube Corner. So many familiar sights, but...ponified. Everything was different, but yet the same. Especially the cafe, just like in her world, it's the same colors and is tall enough to only fit ponies. Humans wouldn't be able to squeeze through that tiny opening. Sunset giggled at that thought.

"We're here. Twilight said she and her friends would be in here," Starlight explained. Sunset breathed in and out several times.

"Yes, I am ready. I can do this!" The two ponies entered and found the Mane Six all sitting in the back. Pinkie was the first to notice.

"Sunset Shimmer!!" she shouted, disturbing all the customers in the cafe. The five other ponies looked up and saw her.

"You came!" shouted Twilight as she ran towards the orange unicorn.

"Uh yeah. Hello everybody," Sunset smiled awkwardly. The Mane Six all had confused expressions.

"Sugar, it's pronounced 'everypony'. You should visit here more often," giggled Applejack.

"Oh! Right...sorry. I have to learn more pony lingo," laughed Sunset Shimmer. Rarity patted the seat next to her motioning for Sunset to sit down.

"So, you're pretty isolated from this world. Tell us what you think about it. And tell us about your world," said Rainbow Dash. Sunset Shimmer cleared her throat.

"It's pretty different. But in a way, it's the same. This cafe is there. You all are there, and you have your own jobs. Which I would assume are the same as your jobs here. Applejack you work on a farm, Pinkie you organize parties, Fluttershy you take care of animals at a shelter, Rarity you design clothes, Twilight, you're a scientist, and Rainbow you play soccer. You're all still in high school by the way," explained Sunset Shimmer.

The ponies all looked at each other. And laughed.

"It's all correct. But RainbowDash! Haha!" laughed Rarity.

"I'm a wonderbolt here," Rainbow snorted playfully. "I guess there's no wonderbolts there in the human world. What's a human even look like?"

"It's our school team name, Canterlot Wondercolts. And humans are...tall, two-legged creatures with hands. It's much easier if I had a picture."

"It's pretty interesting there. I'd definitely live there if I didn't live here first," giggled Starlight. Sunset laughed at that remark. It's been so long since she spent some quality time here in this free world.

"It's been so long. I've missed this place, honestly. I would love it if I could meet Celestia," said Sunset.

Twilight's eyes popped up, "What a wonderful idea! Celestia isn't busy at the moment. She'd love to see her old student. Come on, let's catch a train to Canterlot."

The two ponies rode the train to the capital city of Equestria. It's a fancy place filled with important ponies with high social statuses.

"What do I say to her..." Sunset mumbled.

"You're mumbling Sunset. Why're you so nervous? This is your old teacher! She's gonna be thrilled to see you!" Twilight said, with such enthusiasm.

"Wish I had your enthusiasm Twilight, you're so sure. So confident in everything. No fear of saying something wrong or messing up something." Twilight laughed out loud.

"Oh Sunset, I'm just like you. Just ask Spike or my friends. They'll tell you that I've sang epic freak out arias about freaking out," she giggled. "You'll be fine. Think of all the things you've dealt with in your world. Meeting your teacher is nothing big." Sunset smiled, that made her feel much better.

The ponies arrived in Canterlot. They walked up to the castle entrance, greeted by two friendly guards.

"Is that...Sunset Shimmer?" asked one guard.

"Indeed it is. She's here to see Princess Celestia. May we pass?" asked Twilight.

"Yes princess, you may." they lifted their spears and allowed Twilight and Sunset to pass through. The ponies walked up the many flights of stairs and finally reached the throneroom doors. Sunset's heart was going to stop.

"I can't do this!"

"YES YOU CAN. You can do this Sunset. She's going to be so happy to see you." Sunset smiled, took several deep breaths, and walked in with Twilight.

"Your highness, princess Cadance requests your appearance at the cry-" the messenger pony was interrupted by the doors opening. Celestia saw Twilight smiling happily next to a familiar unicorn.

"Sunset Shimmer...?" Celestia thought.

"Good afternoon princess. Do you recognize this pony?" asked Twilight, smiling. Sunset cleared her throat.

"Afternoon your highness. My name is-"

"Sunset Shimmer! Oh! Oh! You're here! I'm so happy to get to see you again!" Celestia exclaimed, giving her old student a warm hug. Sunset's eyes were wide, she didn't expect this reaction. She embraced the hug, she had most definitely missed this life and regretted leaving. She wanted to stay, and go back into the school.

"I'm happy to see you again too."
