Sorry for the later post, I was busy with a family vacation and didn't have to write.

Sunset woke up bright and early, even though it was a Monday, she still had to go to school to help and finish up with the decoration and foods. She had breakfast with Erebus and headed off to school while Erebus went to work. Sunset made her way to Wallflower's house, greeting her and her aunt, as they headed to school. There, they will meet up with their friends. They are so excited about the event. They completed everything but they needed to set up the food and games for the event. As they arrived at the school ground, Sunset noticed all eyes were on her for some reason. She didn't know why or what's the matter with them since she is very busy.

"What's with everyone today?" Sunset asked Wallflower, heading towards the gym.

"You didn't know?" Wallflower asked her friend in shock and surprise.

"Know what?"

"Sunset, you and Erebus became famous overnight by this." Wallflower shows Sunset her phone that shows the picture of her and Erebus with Zelda Jolly, Willa Wisp, Pepper, and Onyx Star. It has over five billion hits, shocking Sunset in the process, "Everyone wants to know how you and Erebus met Willa and Pepper! They're amazed by this."

"Really?"

"Well, except for Trixie and her friends, they're jealous that you met Willa and became famous overnight." Wallflower explains to Sunset. She then asked, "How did you meet her?"

"Eh..." Sunset tries to think of an explanation. She promises Willa to keep it a secret since she didn't want anyone to know that she was searching for her birth mother. Luckily, she already made one and didn't add about Willa's search for her mother. "...We met by accident. You see, Willa and Pepper were exploring the city. And me and Erebus accidentally bumped into them when we're taking a shortcut home by using the alley. They're very nice once you get to know them."

"I bet! Willa is so famous! People would do anything to be her and Pepper's friend." Wallflower said as the two of them entered the gym, "I wish I could've joined you on that day, but I was busy getting over the laughing gas after they got my teeth cleaned."

"Hey, if there's any constellation, I mentioned you and the others when I was hanging out with Willa." Sunset said with a smile, which Wallflower returned.

"SUNSET!" They heard Rainbow Dash calling out to them. Turning around, they saw the athlete running towards them in full speed, stopping quickly as she was face to face with Sunset, holding up her phone to reveal the picture of her and Willa backstage of the new restaurant. "YOU HANGED OUT WITH WILLA WISP!?"

"Rainbow Dash! Don't yell! Okay? Yes, me and Erebus hung out with Willa and her cousin, Pepper, for the whole day. Don't make it such a big deal."

"A big deal?! Sunset, not only did you hang out with the two richest girls on the planet, but you didn't mention that Erebus was like...you know...THIS!" Rainbow Dash points at the picture of Erebus's face on Pepper's account, getting many likes, mostly from girls, finding him very attractive.

Sunset frowned in annoyance by this as she lowered Rainbow Dash's phone off her face, "Rainbow Dash, it just happened, we just hung out around the city, and she invited me and Erebus for dinner with her family."

"Okay, then who's this guy with you?!" Rainbow Dash points at Onyx Star in the picture.

Luckily, Sunset already has an answer to it, "That's Onyx Star, he's a distant relative of Erebus."

"Wait, he's Erebus's relative? I thought they lived on a secluded island or something." Rainbow Dash said to Sunset.

"Well, it turns out, if anyone from their island decided to live a new life on another place, they can do so and still be connected to them." Sunset explained, remembering the explanation Erebus gave her as a way to help her if someone asked about Onyx Star. "However, Erebus didn't know about him since their family ties were kind of...broken. Onyx Star and him didn't know about this until yesterday."

"Wow...I have no idea Erebus has long lost relatives." Wallflower said in shock.

Sunset rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly, "Yeah, neither did I. But he's a good guy...most of the time...anyways, how are the preparations going?" She suddenly asked, changing the subject.

"Oh! Well, everything is going smoothly, we're just finishing up the haunter maze and the food is all done and ready." Wallflower explains to Sunset, "And playing music for this event are DJ Pon-3 aka Vinyl Scratch and the Flash Drive."

"Isn't that Flash Sentry's band?" Sunset asked Wallflower.

"Yup, they're really good. We tried to book popular bands and pop stars like Songbird Serenade, Countess Coloratura, Sapphire Shores, PostCrush, Dirk Thistleweed, and Willa Wisp, but they were all booked to perform in other places." Wallflower said with a sigh, "Wish we could've brought Willa to perform, she could make this charity event a blast."

"Yeah, she told me she had something important to do." Sunset said, trying to hide her excitement that Willa is actually going to perform here.

"Ah, man! This would've been our one chance to finally meet Willa and possibly her aunt, Zelda Jolly." Rainbow Dash said with a whine.

"Are you just saying that so you could get a record deal from her?" Sunset questions Rainbow Dash, knowing very well what she wants.

"...Maybe." Rainbow Dash mutters out.

Sunset rolled her eyes at Rainbow Dash playfully, "Well, you could get your chance soon, right after the event."

Rainbow Dash groans a bit, "Fine, I'll work on it. But if Willa asked you to meet her again, tell her to come to my house!" And with that, Rainbow Dash runs off to help the others, leaving two stunned girls behind.

"...Huh, well...that was something." Sunset said to Wallflower, who agreed.

"Yeah...I should probably check on the garden to see if the vegetables are ready." Wallflower informs Sunset.

"And I'll see to it that everything is prepared."

And with that, the girls separated to do their task. Sunset asked around the students if they completed their task or needed help. Luckily, they were done, and some appreciated her help. She was glad that everything was going smoothly, even though she did have to dial down Pinkie's plan on making a huge jack-in-the-box, so they could scare anyone that walks by and she even volunteers to do so. But Sunset informs her that they aren't doing that and didn't want the school held accounted for if the guests got a heart attack.

As Sunset was going to check on the cooking club to see the desserts, her wrist communicator started blinking, indicating that someone was trying to call her. Seeing this, Sunset looks around to see if anyone was here. Luckily, not a single student nor staff could be seen. But she wasn't taking any chances on getting caught, so she quickly hides inside the janitor's closet, where she activates the communicator that reveals the small holographic form of Onyx Star.

"Hey, Onyx, what's the news?" Sunset asked, remembering that Onyx was searching about Willa's birthmother.

:Yeah, I asked some of the research team to search for anyone named Lulu. However, they couldn't fit our description about Willa's birth mom.: Onyx Star informs her.

"What do you mean they don't fit the description?" Sunset asked in concern.

:I mean, is that our head of research, Zodiac, and his team found five girls whose first name starts Lulu, I'll show you the list.: Onyx Star said as he shows five females with Lulu on their names, :The first one, Lulu Biscuit , an elderly woman who owns a biscuit on Manhattan, she has three sons and four grandkids, but no daughters or granddaughters. Next is Lulu Mango, she's three years younger than Willa and lives in San Francisco. The other one is Lulu Coconut, lives in Hawaii and is a newlywed, and has just had a newborn daughter. Lulu Watermark, a swim coach, but has no record of having a boyfriend nor getting married and having a child whatsoever. And lastly, Lulu Pops, she's five years old and lives in Philadelphia. And all of them have something in common, they don't have sisters name Tia.:

Sunset sighs sadly and worriedly, knowing that Willa's mom are not those girls that Onyx Star described, "So, neither of them are related to Willa, correct?" She asked sadly to the agent.

Onyx Star replied with a nod, :Yeah, we got some agents to get some DNA samples from them.:

Sunset looks at him in confusion, "Wait, how are you able to-"

Onyx Star raised his hand to cut her off, :That is classified, Shimmer, but DNA confirms that neither of them are her relatives nor mothers.:

Sunset tightens her fist a bit, feeling like she failed Willa, "Willa will be devastated by this..." Sunset mutters to herself before looking at Onyx Star, "Are you sure? Maybe they're other Lulus."

:We double checked the perimeters and locations; those are the only Lulus we could find.: Onyx Star said, watched as Sunset became saddened by this, and decided to try to lighten her up. :Hey, chin up, kid. We'll find out more if we can, maybe we missed something.:

Sunset looks up to him hopefully, "You think so?"

:Yeah, we'll try our best to find out more, just don't give up, kid.: Onyx Star said in assurance.

Sunset smiles at him in appreciation, "Thanks, Onyx Star, I won't."

Onyx Star gave a smirk, :No problem, kid. I'll contact you if we found anything else.:

Sunset nodded, still smiling at him, "Thanks, Onyx Star, I'll keep in touch, over and out." And with that, Onyx Star ended the call, allowing Sunset to continue her task in the school. So, as she left the janitor's closet, she almost bumped into Vice Principal Luna, who almost dropped the clipboard that she was carrying. Both females let out startled gasps, surprised by their sudden appearance.

"Vice Principal Luna! Hi!" Sunset greeted hasty and almost awkwardly.

"Ms. Shimmer! Wh-What were you doing in the janitor's closet?" Vice Principal Luna asked, still shocked and surprised by Sunset's sudden appearance.

"I..." Sunset had to think of an excuse, she can't tell her that she talked with Onyx Star on her communicator. She looked at the closet again and saw some brooms at the side. "I...was...getting some brooms! Yeah! I was getting some brooms for the witch statues; I was worried that we didn't have enough because some of the students are going to be witches."

Sunset made a worried and yet nervous smile towards the strict Vice Principal Luna, who just stared at her. She hopes that she would believe her, she doesn't want her cover to be blown. And as if luck was on her side, Vice Principal Luna believed her as she gave a simple nod, "Well, you are correct, from what I heard, Snip and Snail accidentally broke some of the brooms, believing that they could actually fly in the movies that they watched."

Feeling relieved washed over her body, Sunset was glad that Vice Principal Luna believed her, but annoyed that Snip and Snails broke the brooms, and yet was glad that they did or else she wouldn't make the excuse. "Don't worry, Vice Principal Luna, I'll bring the brooms to them."

"Glad to hear it, and make sure that they'll finish before the event starts." Vice Principal Luna informs Sunset.

Sunset made a playful salute, "Will do, Vice Principal Luna."

"Thank you, Sunset." Vice Principal Luna said to her before walking away.

Sunset waves at her before stopping when she spotted a picture of Willa on her clipboard. This confused Sunset a bit, she thought that Vice Principal Luna isn't a fan of Willa as recall the magazine she had was a mixed up. Sunset was now suspecting something towards Vice Principal Luna, like if she was hiding something that no one knows about. Sunset's train of thoughts came to a halt when Pinkie Pie was calling out to her.

"SUNSET!" Pinkie runs up to her with a happy grin on her face, "Come on! Mr. and Mrs. Cakes are here! And they brought the desserts!"

Sunset smiled and nodded, "All right, but don't try to eat them all at once, those desserts are also for the fundraiser." She told Pinkie, who saluted before running towards the cafeteria with Sunset following behind.

But couldn't shake the feeling about Vice Principal Luna's sudden interest with Willa.


Sunset let out a tired sigh, she was walking on the halls of the school, and heading towards Principal Celestia's office. She and everyone in the entire school had just finished the decorations. Now, they need to prepare the games and food, plus their costumes for the party. Sunset had to make sure that everything must be ready and had to make a final speech when the party's over. Plus, she was going to have to prepare for Willa's appearance at the party. While trying to avoid Trixie, who was angry and jealous that she hangs out with Willa and Pepper, as well as having a handsome friend aka Erebus, and demanded to know how Sunset did it. So much to do in so little time, but it would be all worth it on the event. And right now, Sunset needed to go to the principal's office so she could hand over the list of contestants that signed in early for the Halloween King and Queen event. From what she learned from Pinkie, that both the students and guests would vote for the person with the scariest costume in the event. And whoever has it, would be the winners as the King and Queen of Halloween. Sunset understood as it was like the Seasonal dance that Pinkie described to her.

So, after reaching her destination, she was about to knock when she heard Principal Celestia talking with Vice Principal Luna, who sounded distraught and guilty. Sunset stops and listens to their conversation from the other side of the door. And inside the room, the two educators were having a serious conversation.

"You know she'll understand your reason." Principal Celestia said to Vice Principal Luna.

Vice Principal Luna shook her head sadly, "No, I don't want her to know, she has everything that a girl could want."

"But not everything." Principal Celestia said to her sister, trying to convince her to do something, but Vice Principal Luna wouldn't agree. Principal Celestia sighs as she places a gentle hand on Vice Principal Luna's shoulder, "I know you believe that giving her up was the hardest thing you ever did and you think it's for the best, but she needs to know you."

Vice Principal Luna lowers her head and rubs her arm, "I want to, I really, REALLY want to, but...I don't want her life to be ruined because of me. She deserves better."

"What are they talking about?" Sunset mutters out, she never sees them so concerned to one another. She wanted to know what's going on but didn't want to get in trouble for snooping around. She recalls learning a lesson from Onyx Star to never get spotted or be suspicious, she has to play along and not get caught in the act. So, playing along, Sunset made sure that she wasn't listening as she knocked on the door before entering casually. "Hi, Principal Celestia, Vice Principal Luna, are you two busy?"

Both educators were surprised by Sunset's sudden appearance, believing that she didn't hear their conversation when she entered the office as they were busy talking to each other. "Sunset? Is there something wrong?" Principal Celestia asked in concern.

Sunset gently waves it off, "Nah, I was just looking for you and Vice Principal Luna, so I can tell you two that we're all done with the decoration. We're going to set up the gaming booth and food. And also here are the names for the students that entered the Halloween King and Queen event." She hands over the clipboard to Principal Celestia, who accepts it.

"Oh, that's good news, now we need to get ready for the event this Friday." Principal Celestia said happily. "Things are running smoothly thanks to you."

"It was a team effort. Everyone did their part...well, most of them that is." Sunset said, referring to Trixie, Snips, and Snails messing up a lot. "I bet you two have this event when you were in school."

Principal Celestia couldn't help but chuckle at this, "Yes, we actually do. I remember like it was yesterday. I used to dress up as a sun goddess while Lulu was dressed up as a moon goddess." She explained with happiness in her eyes.

However, this caused Sunset's mind to suddenly stop when Principal Celestia mentioned Lulu. "I'm sorry, did you just say 'Lulu'?" She suddenly asked, clearly taken off guard by this.

Luckily, they didn't notice it, as Principal Celestia gave a playful smile to her sister, "Oh, it's a nickname that I call Luna." She joked, secretly teasing Vice Principal Luna.

However, Vice Principal Luna was not too pleased by how her sister just told one of their students her nickname, "Why did you have to tell her about my nickname?"

"Come now, you used to love to call me Tia." Principal Celestia said to her sister, who rolled her eyes jokingly.

"Wait...you were called...Tia?" Sunset asked in shock, clearly didn't know about this until now.

"Well, yes, we've called ourselves that since Highschool." Principal Celestia said to Sunset, who was clearly shocked by this, "Is there something wrong?"

"Huh? Oh! It's nothing, it's just I never knew you two were so...playful." Sunset confessed.

Both Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna giggled at her, "True, you may see us as your educators, but we tend to joke around at your age." Vice Principal Luna confessed to Sunset.

"Huh, guess I learned something to new every day." Sunset said, smiling towards the two educators. "Although, I am curious, what were you guys like when you were in High School."

Both Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna looked at each other, showing mixed emotions about their lives when they were young. Sunset notices the sad look in Principal Luna's eyes, clearly showing that she wasn't too happy about it. Principal Celestia placed a gentle hand on her sister's shoulder as she looked at Sunset and gave her the answer.

"It was...eventful. We love to study, make new friends, and share happy memories together..." Principal Celestia suddenly trails off as she closes her eyes for a bit, letting out a gentle sigh as if she was trying to calm herself, "But...there were some memories that are...meant to forget." She added as she looked at a sad Vice Principal Luna sadly.

Thinking that something had happened, Sunset decided to stop, "Oh...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring it up."

Principal Celestia gave Sunset an assuring smile, "It's all right, Sunset, you didn't mean too. It's just that we never talked about it for a while."

Sunset nodded her head, "I understand...well, I should get going now, I have to help out Pinkie with the dessert preparation."

Principal Celestia nodded with a smile, "Of course, just be careful."

"And make sure that Snips and Snails don't try to eat all of the desserts." Vice Principal Luna added, warning her about the two troublemakers.

Sunset saluted, "Can do!"

Sunset headed out to their office and towards the gym, waving both at Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna, who waved back, as she headed off. However, instead of going to the gym, she made her way to another hall of the school and went towards the music room. There, she checks if someone was inside, and to her relief, there was none. So, quickly entering the room, she locks the door and uses the communicator to contact Onyx Star.

:Sunset? Is there something the matter?:

"Onyx Star! I think I found a lead on Willa's birthmother." Sunset said to him, which surprised the agent. "What if the name Lulu isn't actually a name, but a nickname."

:A nickname, of course! We've been following the clues wrong.: Onyx Star said in realization, :We only searched for the first names of Lulu but not nicknames. Good detective skills there, kid. But how'd you know it's a nickname?:

Sunset bit her lips, thinking that she shouldn't tell him, since she isn't sure if her information was truly correct, but she has to do it, for Willa. So, taking a deep breath, Sunset told Onyx Star the truth, "It's just a hunch, but I think it's Vice Principal Luna."

Onyx Star gave Sunset a skeptical look, :Your school's Vice Principal is Willa's mom? Are you sure?:

"I think so, moments ago, I heard her and Principal Celestia talking," Sunset explains to Onyx Star, "Principal Celestia was trying to convince Vice Principal Luna to meet someone, but she keeps refusing, like she didn't want to ruin her life...and...and I think they were talking about Willa."

Onyx Star rubs his chin, :Hmm...I see...this something to look further into.:

"Onyx Star?" Sunset asked him curiously.

:Kid, I'll inform you soon, just hang on tight.:

"O-Okay...what are you going to do?" Sunset questions the agent.

:Just gonna dig deeper within our search.:


"And that's all he said." Sunset said to Erebus at the dining table with Hawthorn on his pot at the kitchen counter.

After they finished their job and headed home, Sunset told Erebus everything about what just happened, including that Vice Principal Luna could possibly be Willa's mom. Erebus listened to the whole thing while making dinner, which is mashed potatoes with gravy and veggie kabobs. As well as making hot cocoa for Sunset.

"I see..." Erebus listens to her words while drying the cooking tools with a cloth. "Did he inform you with anything else?"

"Nothing yet, but he'll inform me soon." Sunset said to Erebus before drinking her hot cocoa.

Just then, they heard the doorbell ringing, Hawthorn released a low hiss, waving its thorny vines, ready to attack, but Erebus stopped his Grimm as he went to the door and opened it. And revealing Onyx Star and Aqua Moonlight. "Good evening, Erebus, may we come in?" Aqua Moonlight asked kindly.

"I take it that you two found some information about Willa's birthmother?" Erebus asked them as they let them in, leading them to the kitchen.

Onyx Star nodded as he took out a folder and showed it to Sunset, "You were right, kid, your description and info matches Willa's birthmother." He said to Sunset, who got up from her seat.

"So, that means..."

Aqua Moonlight nodded her head, "Indeed, your Vice Principal Luna is Willa's birthmother."

"I can't believe this..." Sunset said in shock as she sat back down on her seat while looking at Onyx Star, "What did you and the research team find out?"

Onyx Star puts the documents down and opens it, "Well, sixteen years ago, Willa's mom, Vice Principal Luna, gave birth to a secluded town in the countryside, far from the city. There, she had a daughter, but she told the doctor to keep this confidential."

"Then how did you..." Sunset slowly stops and realizes something as she makes a look of realization, "The doctor...is an agent?"

Onyx Star nodded his head, "Yup, Agent Medicus, he is assigned to the countryside, posing as a doctor there, keeping an eye on Sector Eight."

"What's Sector Eight?" Sunset asked him.

"Well, since you're one of us, I think it's best to know the details." Onyx Star said, ignoring Aqua Moonlight smile, "Sector Eight is the location of the home of the Fae, meaning fairies, pixies, sprites, and other small magical creatures live there. They are in protective custody and deforestation is not allowed there."

"Wow, that's a big job." Sunset compliments.

"Yup, anyways, Agent Medicus informed us that your vice principal wanted to keep it a secret because she didn't want people to find out who her birth father is."

"Who is her birth father?" Erebus was the one who asked, leaning on the counter while preventing Hawthorn from attacking the two agents.

"That's the thing, Vice Principal Luna didn't mention who the father is. Guess she didn't want to take any chances." Onyx Star explains to them.

"...Is there anything else?" Sunset asked, hoping to know more about what had happened to Vice Principal Luna and why she had to do it.

"Nothing much, we already know that she gave Willa up at the Canterlot City's orphanage." Onyx Star was all he could see, "And the rest is history."

Sunset bit her thumb a bit, "There's gotta be more to that." She mutters out, needing to know more details.

That's when Aqua Moonlight suggested this, "You know, there is another way to know more."

Sunset and Erebus looked at her with a curious look in their eyes, "Really? How?" Sunset asked her.

"Simple, we go to her dreams." The magical being answered casually.

"Can you do that?" Erebus questions her.

"Yes, my kind has the ability to dreamwalk to a person's dream. For dreams are windows to the memories."

Both teens looked at each other and then to Onyx Star's permission. "Your call." Erebus said to the agent.

Onyx Star thinks about it, thinking they shouldn't but when Sunset gave her a pleading look, he knew very well she would argue with him. So, with a sigh of defeat, Onyx Star agreed, for once. "Oh, all right, just this once." He said to the group, making Sunset smile at him.

"Thanks, Onyx Star," Sunset said gratefully before looking at Aqua Moonlight, "So...how does this work?"

"Sit down on the chairs and hold your hands on the table." Aqua Moonlight instructed them. They do so, as they sit on the chairs and hold each other's hands on top of the table. "Now, close your eyes as we all enter the memory of Vice Principal Luna."

And they do so, closing their eyes as Aqua Moonlight brings them to the dream realm.


Sunset soon opens her eyes and finds herself in a hospital room. It wasn't big or small, but it was the right size and it was cozy. She then notices Erebus, Onyx Star, and Aqua Moonlight. She was relieved that she wasn't alone until she noticed something. She looked at the bed and gasped to see Vice Principal Luna and holding a bundle in her arms with a sad smile on her face.

"Aqua Moonlight?" Sunset whispers out, "Are we in..."

Aqua Moonlight nodded her head, "Yes, we are in the memory of your vice principal."

"And this...this must be the place where she had..." Sunset suddenly gasped as she made her way to the bed and saw baby Willa, sleeping in her mother's arms. Sunset was astonished by this before looking at Vice Principal Luna, who didn't see her as she was focused on her baby. "She can't see us?"

"Nope, we're invisible in her memories, she can't see us, but we can see her." Aqua Moonlight to Sunset.

"Allowing us to see her memory with no problem." Onyx Star said while crossing his arms.

Sunset looks back to Vice Principal Luna. She started humming a beautiful lullaby to baby Willa, who let out a cute yawn, rocking her gently with tears slowly forming into her eyes. Just then, Principal Celestia came in, phasing through Erebus in the process, which startled Sunset, as she made her way to her sister. She gave Vice Principal Luna a small smile as she sat on a chair next to her.

"She's beautiful, Lulu." Principal Celestia said to her sister kindly, "She looks like you."

Vice Principal Luna sadly smiled and nodded, "She does, doesn't she?" She said quietly, gently caressing Baby Willa's face, who smiles in her sleep, "But she has some of his looks..."

Principal Celestia formed a sad smile, "Lulu, if only I knew sooner, I could've helped and-" She was cut off when Vice Principal Luna shook her head.

"No, it can't be changed, what's done is done." Vice Principal Luna whispers out, her voice cracking as she tightly holds her daughter. "I can't go back to him, not anymore."

"Him? Who's him?" Sunset asked in confusion.

"I'm putting out a limb here, but I think they're talking about Willa's dad." Onyx Star states the answer, watching the two sisters talk.

"Oh..." Sunset looks at Vice Principal Luna sympathetically.

They watched as Principal Celestia gave her sister a worried look, "Lulu, I know you're hurting, but please. Just talk to me if you can, all right? You know I am here for you."

Vice Principal Luna just nodded her head, "I know...I just...I just need some time for myself..." She then looks at her baby sadly, "And with my daughter."

Principal Celestia understood as she got up from her seat and left the room, phasing through Sunset, who was startled by this, but before she left, Principal Celestia turned to her sister one more time and asked, "Do you have a name for her?"

The four people turned towards Vice Principal Luna, watching her as she sadly smiled at her daughter and then to her sister, "Willa...her name is Willa Wisp." She answered softly, giving her daughter a gentle kiss on the forehead.

Soon, the scene later changed, revealing Vice Principal Luna was sitting on a rocking chair, next to a window that reveals the night sky, and the moon was high in the sky. There, she held her daughter, humming her a lullaby while gently rocking back and forth. Sunset watched with sadness in her eyes as Vice Principal Luna was holding her daughter tightly in her arms, doing her best to stay strong.

"My Willa." She whispers out, slowly crying as she starts to choke on her words, "I love you so much...you are my everything in this world. I wish to give a better life than just this..."

"What...what is she talking about?" Sunset whispers out.

Suddenly, Baby Willa's eyes opened, revealing the same color of her mother's eyes, and looks at her Vice Principal Luna innocently. The mother fought back her tears as her child gave her a cute smile. "You're so innocent...you should be someone more capable than me."

Sunset's eyes widen in realization. This is where Vice Principal Luna was thinking of giving Willa up for adoption. As Vice Principal Luna caresses her daughter's face, Baby Willa holds her finger, letting out cute babbling noise. Smiling sadly, Vice Principal Luna gently kisses her forehead gently with a single tear falling on her eye. Soon, the scene changes, revealing the Canterlot Orphanage. There, they saw Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna wearing hooded coats. And like Scarlet Sunlight's description, the oldest (Principal Celestia) was wearing an amethyst color one and Willa's mom (Vice Principal Luna) was wearing a midnight blue one. Baby Willa was all bundled up in a midnight blue blanket, sleeping soundly in her mother's arms.

"Canterlot Orphanage." Sunset whispers out in shock, "This is the memory of how VP Luna had to give up Willa."

"And where Nana worked." Aqua Moonlight said, looking at Scarlet Sunlight, working at the counter, while the two sisters made their way to her.

"Excuse me...I'm here to...to..." Vice Principal Luna chokes out the words, she couldn't bear what to say next.

Sunset, Erebus, Onyx Star, and Aqua Moonlight watched as Vice Principal Luna held Baby Willa tightly, holding back the tears in her eyes. They knew this was the day that she had to give up Willa, so she could have a better life. They then saw Principal Celestia gently holding her sister's shoulder as she looked over to Scarlet Sunlight.

"My sister wishes to...put her daughter for adoption." Principal Celestia said with hesitation, which caused Vice Principal Luna to hold her daughter even tightly.

Scarlet Sunlight's eyes soften with sympathy, knowing that the mother had to give up her baby. "I understand...does your baby have a name?"

Vice Principal Luna nodded her head, "Yes..." She whispers out, "I...I wish for the best for my daughter."

"Are you sure you want this, Lulu?" Principal Celestia asked her sister softly, "Willa can live with us and we can work things out."

Vice Principal Luna shook her head, "Tia, please, Willa deserves better than to live with me...there is someone out there who is more capable...and better for Willa, rather than me."

"Lulu..." Principal Celestia whispers out solemnly, "It's not too late to change this."

"I made up my mind, Tia, this is for Willa's guarantee for a better life." Vice Principal Luna said to her older sister softly, before looking at her daughter as she took out a beautiful silver crescent moon necklace from her pocket.

Sunset gasped in realization, "That's the necklace Willa always wears."

"That's right, Vice Principal Luna gave it to Willa before giving her up for adoption." Erebus said to Sunset.

Vice Principal Luna puts the necklace on her daughter's neck gently, earning a gentle giggle from the infant, who holds the necklace and nibbles it. Vice Principal Luna smiles at her sadly and hugs her tightly once more as her final embrace. "Willa...I'm so sorry. I really do want to have you, but you can live a better life than with me. You can be with a family that would love and care for you and give you anything you want that I cannot." She then touched the necklace gently with Willa's little hand holding hers, making her even more guilt ridden, "And this necklace will show that I loved you so much, that I want you to live a great and better life...I love you, Willa, more than anything."

Sunset felt saddened by this, knowing that Vice Principal Luna was giving up her own daughter, so she could've lived a better life. It was like Sunset's life when she was filly. She didn't know her birth parents and why did they leave her. But Willa's mom, Vice Principal Luna, had to give her up because she felt like she wasn't good enough to be Willa's mom. Sunset watched as Vice Principal Luna gave her daughter a once last embrace before looking at Scarlet Sunlight hopefully and pleadingly.

"Can you promise me that you find a good home for her? With a family that loves her no matter what?" Vice Principal Luna asked Scarlet Sunlight with worry and sadness.

Scarlet Sunlight understood how she wanted to give her daughter a better life and nodded her head, "She will be with a good family. You have my word."

That's all the Vice Principal needed to hear as she nodded her head, whispering out, "Thank you."

And with a heavy heart, Vice Principal Luna gave Baby Willa to Scarlet Sunlight, who gently took the infant in her arms. Feeling the sudden change of warmth, Baby Willa opened her eyes and looked over to her mother, letting innocent and confused baby babbles. Wondering what's going on. Vice Principal Luna flinched when her child looked at her, feeling a dreaded guilt in her as she was particularly abandoning her child. With teary eyes, Vice Principal Luna covers her mouth to stop herself as Principal Celestia holds her sister close.

"I'm so sorry." Vice Principal Luna silently cries as she turns and leaves in a hurry with Principal Celestia by her side, trying her best to block out her daughter's cry.

Sunset gasped in shock as she quickly went after them. "Vice Principal Luna, wait!"

"Sunset! They can't hear you!" Aqua Moonlight tries to stop Sunset.

Sunset didn't listen as she ran out from the building, only to see Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna getting the car on a rainy day. Sunset tries to call out to them, but is too late as the car drives away, leaving Sunset behind.

"WAIT!"


"WAIT!"

Sunset sat up, yelling out the words in the process. She woke up from the memory and was out. She wasn't alone, Erebus, Onyx Star, and Aqua Moonlight also woke up. Hawthorn the Hyflora lets out a shriek, suddenly startled by their sudden awakening. They had all just left Vice Principal Luna's memory and now they learned that she is Willa's birthmother.

"We have to go back!" Sunset suddenly said, getting off her seat and running to the door.

"Woah! Kid, slow down there!" Onyx Star said, grabbing her arm before she could leave.

"Slow down?! Onyx, we just saw Willa's mom, my vice principal, who had to give her up because she thought she's not good enough to be her mother!? She's basically torturing herself with guilt and sadness! She doesn't deserve this! She has to know!"

"Sunset, you can't just barge into her house in the middle of the night saying: Hey, I know you're Willa's long-lost mom and you should really see her because she misses you. That would raise questions from her as she wants to know how you found out about this."

"She has the right to know!" Sunset said to Onyx Star, pulling her arm off his hold.

"Sunset, you have to think this through." Erebus said, going over to his friend, "I understand you want to help, but you have to plan things first. For all we know, Vice Principal Luna thinks you invaded her private life."

"I know...I know...It's just...seeing Vice Principal Luna heartbroken it's like...it's like me when I felt betrayed...alone...and scared...I just want to help her...I really do."

Aqua Moonlight came by her side and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder, "It's alright, Sunset, you understand the pain she is facing, but there is a way for her to know that Willa loves her."

"Really? How?" Sunset asked Aqua Moonlight.


In a very, very expensive looking hotel called Jolly Paradise, which is owned by Zelda Jolly of course, many people would go there to relax and have a vacation there. It's warm, friendly, and fun to be in. And is always booked due to being the most popular place to be. But there is one room that is private. The VIP suite, the best of the best, and in it were two celebrities, Willa Wisp and Pepper. Since Zelda Jolly owns this place, her daughter and niece can stay as long as they want. And speaking of which, the two girls are getting ready for the Halloween party at CH, and boy were these girls excited.

Anyways, Willa was writing a song for her performance on Friday Night in her bed. Actually, it was the third song she's writing, she has so much inspiration thanks to her new friends, she wants to sing it all out. Just then, Pepper came in holding up two costumes, one was a zombie, and the other was a jester.

"So! Which costume should I go with?! Should I go with...ZOOOMMMBIIEEE PEPPER?!" Pepper made dramatic zombie sounds in the end while holding the costume before becoming cheerful as she held up the jester costume, "OR happy-cheery jester?! OH! Or I can do both! And I'll be a ZOMBIE JESTER! OOOoooo!"

Willa chuckles at her cousin's enthusiasm, "I think they're both great costumes, Peppy." She said as she finished up another song.

Pepper came over to her cousin's bed and saw the songs she wrote, "Wow! Cuz, you wrote a lot of songs."

"I know! Inspiration came to me out of nowhere!" Willa said happily.

"Well, you better stay sharp!" Pepper said as she jumped and landed on the bed, "Because it's almost Halloween! And we don't know what is lurking in the dark that will strike at us at any moment!"

TAP! TAP! TAP!

"AHH!" Pepper suddenly screams and she hides behind the bed by the sudden tapping, peeking underneath the sheets of the bed as she and Willa look at the balcony's glass doors. To their surprise, they saw Onyx Star, Erebus, and Sunset (who was clinging onto Erebus's back) standing there. Onyx Star was tapping on the window, getting their attention.

"Hey! Open the door!" Onyx Star said from the other side of the door.

"Mr. Star?! Erebus!? Sunset!? What are you guys doing here?" Willa asked, getting off her bed and making her way to the doors, opening them to let the group in, Sunset was still clinging onto Erebus's back, still not letting go as she had a terrified expression on her face. "And did you guys just climb up here? We're basically on the eightieth floor!"

"Yeah, it wasn't easy getting in considering security won't let us, so we had option B, climbing up to this hotel." Onyx Star said to them. It's true, Erebus and Onyx Star had to climb up to this building. Onyx Star climbs into many buildings since he's a professional and has a grappling hook and Erebus uses Hawthorn to help him and Sunset to get up the building. Speaking of the Grimm Plant, it was hidden from the balcony, and it was forbidden from attacking people or animals.

Pepper face palmed in realization, "D'oh! I forgot to show the security your picture and your names, so you guys can come in! Sorry." Pepper apologizes to them.

Erebus gently pats her head, "It's all right, Pepper, you don't need to be hard on yourself. Right, Sunset?" Sunset didn't respond, causing Erebus to look at her on his back, "Sunset?"

"We're so...high..." Sunset whimpers out, still clinging into Erebus's back after he and Onyx Star climbed up the thousand-foot-tall building.

"Sunset, we're here, we're no longer climbing.

"W-We're not?" Sunset squeaks out.

"Yes, Sunset, you're safe." Erebus assured as he coaxed her off his back, "You're not in a high tower, you're in the room, safe."

"Safe...we're safe..." Sunset whispers out fearfully, trying to calm herself at the sudden climbing. She's used to riding on Erebus's dragon form but climbing on top of buildings so high up that she could fall to her doom! I don't think so! Because one of these days Hyflora would drop her on purpose, and it almost did. "A-Anyways, we found out about your mom!"

Willa's eyes sparkled in pure joy by this information, "You mean it?! You found out about my mom?! Where is she? Is she okay? Has she been thinking about me?! Where does she live?! Is she-"

Willa was cut off by Onyx Star, who raises his hand to stop her, "Stop right there, girly, there's something you should know."

Willa becomes suddenly worried while Pepper pops out underneath the bed, "What do you mean?" Asked the hyperactive girl.

Sunset sighs as she places a gentle hand on the pop star's shoulder, "You girls might want to sit down." She said, making Willa worried.

Sunset, Willa, and Pepper sit down on the bed while Onyx Star and Erebus stood close by. Sunset explains to Willa about her mom and what she has been through. Which causes Willa's heart to sink from her mother's suffering.

"And that's why your mom is afraid that she might ruin your life." Sunset finished her explanation to Willa as they and Pepper were sitting on the bed.

Willa was processing everything on what Sunset had said. Her mind was filled in emotions and thoughts that she couldn't explain or express. Pepper holds Willa's hand after she senses her cousin's distress, Willa holds it gradually as she looks at Sunset with worried eyes.

"All this time...she knew about me...but is afraid that she'll ruin my life?" Willa whispers out, feeling sad that her mom was afraid that she'll ruin her life. Unacceptable! Her mom sacrificed everything to give her a better life and suffered for being there for her.

"I need to talk to her!" Willa said, getting up from her bed, "I have to tell it's not her fault and I really want to see her!"

"I know you want to, Willa, but your mom is gonna wonder how'd you know about her." Onyx Star said to Willa. "And she'll find out that we...might have invaded her...personal privacy. The point is your mom should learn about this some other time."

"But this would be my one chance to tell her. That I really miss and love her...I don't want to lose this chance." Willa said, wanting to see her mom, earning sympathy looks from Sunset and Pepper.

"...Maybe there is." Erebus suddenly said, getting everyone's attention. Erebus was reading one of the songs that Willa made, "You can write a song to your mother, in hopes she can overcome her fear and finally meet you."

"A song...that's a great idea, E!" Sunset said in agreement, standing up from the bed, "This will help Willa's mom to finally meet her!"

"Hmm...a song." Willa rubs her chin before going to her desk and takes out a diary, "This is where I wrote all my songs. This song in particular is about...my mom. I wrote this song a long time ago but never got to use it but now... I can finally do it." Willa said with a small smile on her face.

Pepper jumps on the bed, "YEAH! Let's do this!"

"Do you think she would like it?" Willa asked Sunset.

Sunset smiles at her and places a gentle hand on Willa's shoulder, "She'll love it."

And with that, Willa smiles and practices her song with her friend.


Canterlot High's Halloween event has arrived.

Every student was wearing scary or not so scary costumes. Some were even wearing costumes of their favorite characters on TV or in the movie. Sunset's friends were dressed up too. Wallflower dressed up as a plant monster, Rarity as Shadow Spade (her favorite character from a detective novel she loves to read), Pinkie Pie as a clown, Applejack dressed up as a scarecrow, Fluttershy dressed up as a butterfly, and Rainbow Dash is dressed up as Daring Do.

"Happy Halloween!" Pinkie Pie cheerfully shouted.

"Happy Halloween to you too, Pinkie Pie!" Applejack said, greeting her friend, she then lets out a whistle as she looks at her friends' costumes. "You gals look great!"

"You as well, darling." Rarity said happily before the CMC and Babs Seed came over, "Oh, Sweetie Belle! Over here!"

"Hey, guys!" The CMC and Babs Seed yelled out. They each wear their own classic costume. Scootaloo was wearing a vampire costume, Sweetie Belle wore a bride of Frankenstein, Apple Bloom wore a werewolf costume, and Babs Seed's costume was a monster hunter.

"Great costume, girls." Pinkie said cheerfully, holding her pumpkin filled with candy. "Now, let's get this party-"

"Wait!" Wallflower cuts her off, looking at her phone as she looks at her text, "Sunset isn't here with Erebus yet."

"Wallflower's right, we have to wait for them before we-WHAT IN TARNATION IS THAT?!" Applejack suddenly yelled, pointing in a certain direction. The others followed and gasped to see two shadowy figures, both wearing Geist Masks, and a scary looking dark knight behind them. And in the background, dark clouds formed with a flash of lightning and thunder, giving out a spooky atmosphere. This caused everyone, including the guests, to scream in pure terror at the sight before them until one of shadowy figures removed its mask to revel Sunset's face.

"Whoa! Whoa! Girls! It's just me and Erebus!" Sunset said, still has the hoodie on as she holds her mask.

Everyone stopped screaming as they stared at Sunset with wide eyes. "Sunset?! You scared the bejeebers out of us!" Applejack exclaims in pure terror with Fluttershy clings onto her.

Sunset blushed sheepishly and rubbed the back of her neck, "Sorry! Erebus's hometowns have scary themes back there. So, we decided to be dressed as ghosts."

"Yeah, I think you've embraced the Halloween spirit too much." Wallflower said between pants, remembering the Geist that attacked them when she used to have the Memory Stone.

Erebus removed his Geist mask and gave an apologetic look at the group. "My apologies, I guess some of my homeland's ghosts and monsters. I didn't mean to scare you all."

Rainbow Dash, trying to act all cool, scoffs a bit, "Pfft! I wasn't scared."

The black knight crosses his metal arms and says, "Then why did you scream?"

"Hey! I was startled! Totally different!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed before pointing at the knight, "By the way, who's your friend?"

"Oh, everyone, this is Onyx Star, Erebus's distant cousin." Sunset introduced, "Onyx Star, these are my friends, everyone, this is Onyx Star."

Onyx Star removes the scary helmet to reveal the deadpan expression as he looks at the group and greets them blankly, "Hey."

Wallflower, who became shy and scared at the sight of the stern looking man, gave a meek wave, "H-Hi...I'm Wallflower Blush..."

Applejack tips her scarecrow hat, "The name's Applejack."

"F-Fluttershy..." Fluttershy whispers out, hiding behind Applejack.

"I am Rarity!" Rarity said in a dramatic tone.

"Rainbow Dash, and I really wasn't scared!" Rainbow Dash said, trying to get her pride up.

"Pinkie Pie!" Pinkie exclaimed as she cheered happily.

"I'm Apple Bloom!"

"Scootaloo!"

"Sweetie Belle."

"And I'm Babs Seed." Babs Seed greeted lastly before looking at Onyx Star, "So...where are you from, Onyx Star?"

"Many places, here, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Paris, and other countries, but I'm actually born in London." Onyx Star explained to them.

"Wow, you've been to many places." Babs said in awe.

"Yeah...sure..." Onyx Star didn't tell them that he actually goes to other countries on missions to stop and hide magical things. Preventing the world from total chaos.

Pinkie Pie jumps forwards and squeals, "Enough chit-chat! Let's go and party!"

"Yeah!" The girls all cheered in agreement and started to have fun.

"Come on, Onyx Star! The more the merrier!" Sunset said happily, pulling his arm.

"No thanks I rather-'' Onyx Star was cut off when all the girls started dragging him to the gaming booth, "-Aaaaand I'm being dragged against my will." He mutters out in annoyance, clearly not wanting to join but has no choice. Erebus couldn't help but smirk as he shook his head, following the group to the first gaming booth, Balloon Pop. And running the booth are Flim Flam Brothers, Flim and Flam, bunch con-artists, swindlers, liars, scammers, and other names that described their trickster attitudes.

"Step right up and win a prize!" Flim yelled out, gesturing big cat plushies.

"Everybody's a winner!" Flam added with a wink.

Applejack growls in annoyance, "Flim and Flam." She mutters out their names in annoyance and anger.

"You know them?" Sunset asked Applejack.

"They've been trying to one up us in the Apple Family business for years and trying to annoy us." Applejack said, glaring at the brothers, "And now they're gonna cause trouble to Halloween."

"I agree." Onyx Star agrees with Applejack, "They're nothing but a bunch of liars, scammers, cheats, con-artists, and nuisances."

"How come you know them, Onyx Star?" Apple Bloom asked him curiously.

"Know them? I used to go to school with them at Star Swirl's All-boys boarding school in Baltimore." Onyx Star explains to the group, "They were like that when they were your age but soon they got kicked out of the school."

"Really? What happened?" Rainbow Dash asked him.

"They got expelled after the headmaster found out that they were stealing test papers from exams and selling them to students. Never seen them since." Onyx Star said to them as he looked at the game booth, knowing very well that it was rigged.

"Wow...didn't see that coming." Sunset said in amazement as she looked at Flim and Flam suspiciously, "Wonder why they're here?"

"You guess it is as good as mine, easily scamming people out of their money." Onyx Star said, eyeing on their booth. "Their booth is probably rigged; they always empty everyone's pockets."

"Should...we do something?" Wallflower asked them.

"Yeah, let's play their game." Onyx Star said, narrowing his eyes at Flim and Flam before he and the others went to the booth.

"Step right up! Step right-Well, if isn't a favorite apple! Applejack!" Flim said to a deadpan Applejack, who crosses her arms at the brother.

"Flim and Flam, what are you two up to this time?" Applejack questions them suspiciously.

"Why, Ms. Applejack! We're just here to contribute to the Halloween event by spreading spooky spirit!" Flam said with a ghostly tone.

"Indeed, we are, Flam! What else do you think we're doing?" Flim asked her casually.

"Cheating and scamming customers until they runout of money." Onyx Star said to them seriously, who suddenly recognizes him.

"Onyx Star?! What are you doing here?!" Flim exclaimed in shock.

"Just enjoying scenery until I saw you two." Onyx Star said with a deadpan tone, "You guys haven't changed since you two got expelled from Star Swirl's All-boys boarding school for selling the answers to the students."

"That was business!" Both the brothers said unison.

"Well, your business got twelve students suspended and got two months of detention and been grounded by their parents. I still remember them trying to get you boys back for getting them in trouble. And I heard they're still searching for you guys till this day." Onyx Star explains to them, earning fearful gulps from Flim and Flam.

"Uh...why don't you play the first round for free!" Flim suddenly said fearfully.

"Yup! First round free for each and every one of you!" Flam added in agreement, sweating a bit as Onyx Star stares at them blankly, "Remember! Three darts for one round!"

"And if your lucky to get three hits! You'll get another round free!" Flim added with a fearful grin.

"All right!" Rainbow Dash cheered as she took three darts with the others following her. "Time to show you all my skills!"

And with that, Rainbow Dash fired her first dart at the balloon, but it didn't pop as the dart fell to the ground. This shocks the athlete as she tries again, but misses. Growling, Rainbow Dash threw her last dart, but bounces off like the first one.

"Ooo! Tough luck there." Flim said in a teasing tone and grin.

Rainbow Dash groans in annoyance while the rest of her friends try, but like Rainbow Dash, they fail to hit the balloons, much to their annoyance and amusement to the Flim Flam Brothers. And after their failed attempt to win a prize, the girls were annoyed.

"Aw! Better luck next time girls!" Flam teased, earning glares from the girls.

"What about you, Onyx Star?" Flim looks over to Onyx Star, testing the dart's sharpness, "Can you make the sho-" He was cut off when something flew past him and popping one balloon with ease. Both brothers looked at now popped blue balloon and saw a piece of it pin to the wall by the dart. They turned back to Onyx Star and saw it was him who popped the balloon.

The girls were amazed by this as they looked at Onyx Star with jaws dropped. Onyx Star snorted as he took out another dart, "Hmph, guess I can." Onyx Star said as he looked over to Erebus, who was also testing the dart's sharpness, "What about you? Can you make the shot?"

With those questions, Erebus fired the dart in such blinding speed that it released a whistle before popping a red balloon, shocking the Flim Flam Brothers in the process, "Does that answer your question?

Onyx Star smirks as he takes out a dollar bill and places it down, "Give us more darts, boys, 'cause me and Erebus are gonna run this place down."

Flim and Flam gulped in fear as both Erebus and Onyx Star worked together and using their great skills to pop every balloon they conquer and winning every stuff toy that Flim and Flam had to offer. The girls watched in awe as the two males popped all the balloons and getting all the stuff toys off the rack and shelves. And thus, emptying the booth of Flim and Flam. The two brothers stared in shock with mouths dropped as Erebus and Onyx Star won every prize that was piled up or being carried by the girls, who cheered at their victory.

"Way the go, guys! You were awesome!" Sunset cheered, carrying two stuffed red lizard dolls.

"YEAH!" Pinkie agrees cheerfully, carrying a bunch of stuffed animals.

"...They were okay." Rainbow Dash complements plainly, trying to act not to impress, even if they were really awesome.

"Are you kidding! They were great!" Applejack said with a grin, "How'd you two do that?"

"I was a champion in darts." Onyx Star said. It's true, when he was still in Star Swirl's All-boys boarding school, Onyx Star participated in every other sport, including darts. Making him the top player of the school.

"...I practice a lot." Erebus said. Technically, he takes a lot of targets practicing when he is still training.

"Wow..." The CMC and Babs awed at them, wanting to be like them.

"And since we're done here, who's hungry? I'll pay for it." Onyx Star said, earning happy cheers from the girls as they left to go to the buffet table, leaving the now empty booth and the shocked Flim Flam Brothers behind.

As they left, Sunset got a text from someone, smiling, she looked up at the group. "Hey, guys, Erebus and I have to cut this short, we promised a neighbor of ours to show her relatives around the event. We'll catch up soon after."

"Okay, don't wait up! And show them a great time!" Pinkie said cheerfully as she and Erebus left the group to go somewhere.

"I wonder who their neighbor's relatives are?" Wallflower asked them.

"Don't know, but I bet something interesting is going to happen." Onyx Star said as he led the girls to the buffet table, making sure that they were not aware that a certain surprise was going to happen.

Anyways, Sunset and Erebus just arrived in the parking lot. There, a limo was parked and coming out were Willa and Pepper, wearing their costumes. Willa was wearing a Performance Dress (the number 2 you can see it in my Deviantart page) and Pepper as a zombie jester.

"You girls made it!" Sunset asked, hugging Willa, who returned the gesture.

"Thanks! And boy! You guys look scary." Willa complimented.

"It's Erebus's idea, his homeland's ghosts are really...terrifying." Sunset said with a smile.

"Yeah, it is!" Pepper said cheerfully, "So? What's the first thing we should do?"

"Let's start by making sure no one knows that the two famous girls of Zelda Jolly are here." Erebus said before handing them masks. Willa gets a starry Masquerade mask while Pepper gets a zombie jester mask, matching their outfits.

"Wow! Cool masks, E! Did you make them?" Pepper asked Erebus.

"Indeed, my people are known to be masters of mask making."

"Amazing." Willa said as she put on her mask. "Now, let's have fun!"

Pepper cheers, "YEAH! I can finally rest my new drone!" She said as she took out a controller and brought out a drown that was colored to look like a pumpkin. "I paint it for the occasions."

"Nice." Sunset said as she and the others looked at the drone.

"Now, PARTY TIME!" Pepper cheered as she ran off, with Erebus chasing after her.

Both Sunset and Willa laughed at this amusement, finding it hilarious. "This is gonna be an eventful day." Sunset said before noticing Willa holding her necklace. "What's wrong?"

"Do you think...do you think she'll like the song I wrote?" Willa whispers out, "I don't know if she even recognizes me."

Sunset placed a gentle hand on her shoulder and gave Willa an assuring smile, "Hey, don't be so hard on yourself, from what I witness, your mom always has pictures of you, showing that she still cares and wants to see you, even if she's not there."

Willa smiles at her gratefully and hugs, "Thanks, Sunset."

"You're welcome, so come on!" Sunset said, grabbing her hand and taking her to the party.

And so, the whole night, Sunset and Erebus showed the girls around the event, letting them play games, win prizes, and eat delicious foods. Willa and Pepper had a great time, they never had this much fun in years! Pepper recorded every event they did so she can post it later in her blog. Sunset made sure to keep Willa and Pepper's appearance a secret and she didn't want to make her friends wait. Luckily, they plan this whole thing. Willa and Pepper waited on a stand while Erebus and Sunset met up with their friends and Onyx Star, who won all the prizes in a ring toss booth.

"Hey, guys!" Sunset called out to them.

"Sunset! You made it!" Pinkie said cheerfully.

"Sorry it took so long; we have to show our guests around." Sunset said before looking at Onyx Star, who won another prize. "Wow, you're really good at this."

"Meh, it's nothing." Onyx Star said before tossing the prize to Pinkie, who tossed it on the wagon full of prizes. "Anyways, I should get going."

"Aww...so soon? We're having so much fun!" Scootaloo whined, wanting him to stay a little longer.

"Wish I could, but I promise to meet a friend of mine after this." Onyx Star said before doing a simple salute. "I'll see you all soon, you can keep the toys. Kay?"

"Okay, bye Onyx Star!" Sunset said, followed by the others as Onyx Star walks away with a hand raise. The girls were not aware that he will be helping Willa and Pepper to get on stage soon while giving them a fun time in the Halloween event.

"Come on, girls, let's continue the fun!" Sunset said to them, earning cheers from them.

They and Erebus spend the remaining time they had before they go to the stage to hear the announcement. Erebus helped the CMC and Babs Seed win a video game console, much to their happiness. Erebus even won Fluttershy a big pink stuffed bunny doll, much to Fluttershy's joy. We had a great time together. As they laugh along, Sunset notices Vice Principal Luna, wearing a black enchantress dress, sitting close by at the stage, looking at something in her hands. Curious, Sunset told her friends that she'll be right back as she went over to Vice Principal Luna. There was no one there since they were all busy having fun. But as she does so, a gust of wind comes out of nowhere, blowing a picture off from Vice Principal Luna's hands, shocking her in the process. Luckily, Sunset caught it just in time.

"Woah! Almost lost this, Vice Principal...Luna?" Sunset looks at the picture with wide eyes as she recognizes the picture of Vice Principal Luna, in the hospital bed, holding Baby Willa. "Is that-"

Vice Principal Luna quickly takes the picture from her hand, "It's nothing and..."

"Wait! Vice Principal Luna! Before you go, can I ask...is..." Sunset quickly takes a deep breath and sighs as she looks at her vice principal seriously, "Is that your daughter?"

Vice Principal Luna stopped at her tracks as she looked at Sunset with wide eyes of sadness and worry, "I...I..."

"I know it's wrong for me to say this but...but I know that you're Willa's mom, aren't you?"

Vice Principal Luna looked at her in shock, "How...how..."

"It wasn't hard to figure out the pieces." Sunset said to Vice Principal Luna, "When Willa came to the city, she searched for her birth mother in Canterlot Orphanage." Vice Principal Luna gasped by this information, "When we arrived there, we asked someone around and gave her the letter that you sent."

"When did you know about this?"

"When I was going to Principal Celestia's office, I heard you two talking about someone, I didn't know at first until I realized that Principal Celestia was trying to convince you to see Willa, right?"

"...Yes, but...how did you know I am her mother?"

"We learned that Willa's birthmother's name was Lulu, at first, we thought it was someone else, but as it turns out Lulu is your nickname, isn't it?"

Vice Principal Luna lowers her head as she clutches the picture in her chest, "Can we...talk somewhere private? Please?"

Sunset agrees as Vice Principal Luna takes her to a tent, where it is near the stage and is also a break room for the faculty. There, Vice Principal Luna sits on a chair with Sunset sitting on the other side of the table. Drinking some coffee. There, Vice Principal Luna explains to Sunset everything and what really happened.

"I was young...a newly graduated student who became a teacher in Canterlot High..." Vice Principal Luna looks down on her coffee mug with side eyes, "I had...a special someone..."

"...Willa's dad?" Sunset asked, earning a nod from Vice Principal Luna.

"Yes, we were both different yet have something in common...we then fell in love..." As she explains, Sunset listens gradually, "He is a higher member of society...very popular and very well known...both of us planned to get married in secrecy, but something happened."

"Wh...what happened?"

"His father got into an accident, paralyzed from the waist down. He could not continue the business, so he passed it down to his son. He had to take it since the people there have jobs, and he saved the business before it could go bankrupt."

"...Do you still hangout with him? Willa's dad, I mean?" Sunset asked Vice Principal Luna.

This earned a sad smile and a nod from Vice Principal Luna, "We did, we secretly spend time together in cover of the night, even if our time together is short, we still have time together." She explained before her smile was replaced with a sad frown.

Seeing this, Sunset became concerned, "Did something...happen between you two?"

"...Yes, I soon found out that he moved on with another woman. It broke my heart to learn that truth and I didn't speak to him for many months. I was...I was so mad, betrayed...and I couldn't about..." Vice Principal Luna holds back her tears as she clutches her mug.

Sunset knew what she meant and gave her a sympathetic look, "You didn't tell him about Willa, didn't you?"

Vice Principal Luna nodded her head, "No, I never told him about her, nor did I even mention her. I kept her a secret for years, if anyone finds out who Willa really is...people would make things difficult, judging her or... criticizing her! I...I never want anything bad happening to her or else she'll be taken from me! So, the only way for Willa to live a better life...is...is to give her up." Vice Principal Luna's eyes began to water, "It was the hardest thing I have ever done. I wanted to raise her as my own, live a life as mother and daughter...but...but I was cowered, I wasn't strong enough to fight back my fears. And thus, I lost my child as she was adopted to a better parent than I. I thought that without me in her life, she can continue to grow as independent woman, traveling the world, and making a name for herself...even if I wasn't there."

Sunset's eyes soften as she places her hand on Vice Principal Luna's, "But you watched her grow from distance, right? And...and I know that you observe her from magazines or newspapers or maybe social media! It shows that you love her...and Willa knows it too." Sunset said, getting Vice Principal Luna's attention, "When Willa came here, all she could think about is you. She really wanted to meet you after she got your letter. She doesn't care about what you did, she knows that you sacrifice everything just for her. She loves Vice Principal Luna, she really does and doesn't care for reputation...all she wants is her mother."

Vice Principal Luna couldn't help but listen. Willa was here for the opening of Zelda's new restaurant. And she did spend time with Sunset and Erebus, indicating that she told them everything that she really wanted to see her no matter what. Vice Principal Luna couldn't help but let her tears fall. All this time, her daughter searches for her, wanting to see her, to meet her, and to embrace her. Vice Principal Luna thought long and hard to meet her daughter again, but fear always clouds her judgment, and now...she really wants to see her baby girl again. Vice Principal Luna wipes her tears away, feeling her chest swells up a bit.

"Thank you...Ms. Shimmer...for telling me this." Vice Principal Luna said with a sad smile, which Sunset returns.

:Ladies and gentlemen, we will be announcing the winners for the Halloween King and Queen.: Principal Celestia announced from the PC.

"We should probably get going." Vice Principal Luna said to Sunset, who nodded in agreement.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Sunset asked her.

Vice Principal Luna responded with a nod, "I will be, just give me time."

Sunset agrees as they both leaved the tent and went towards the stage. There, Sunset meets her friends and Erebus waiting for her. And from a distance, she could see Onyx Star was near the stage, nodding his head at her direction, which she returns. Principal Celestia, wearing an angel costume, was on stage, greeting everyone that came to the Halloween Event, thanking them for the kind donations and more. But before she could announced the winners, Trixie came to stage, wearing a wizard costume.

"Before you announce the winners, I, the Great and Powerful Trrrrixie, shall amaze you with some serious magic!" Trixie announces as she gestures to her magical box, "Watch! Abracadabra!"

As she said her magical words, the door opened to reveal a zombie jester, aka Pepper, coming out and making zombie noises. Everyone, minus Sunset, Erebus, and Onyx Star, screamed in terror as Trixie runs off and jumps of stage, falling to the ground in the process. Before anyone could run, the zombie started to laugh hysterically, catching everyone's attention.

"Oh, man! That was hilarious! You should've seen your faces!" Removing the mask, Pepper reveals her grinning face that shocked the group. "Sorry for the scare, folks! But I couldn't resist!"

"No way! That's Pepper!" Babs Seed exclaimed in shock.

"Thee Pepper!? She has more than a billion views!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed in shock.

"What is she doing here?!" Rarity asked in shock.

"Hello there, people! I'm Pepper! Today I just explored the amazing Halloween event in Canterlot High! And recorded it all here in my drone!" Pepper said loudly, showing her drone, and earning cheers from the students and the crowd. "Now! I'm here to announce the winners from this paper that I may or may not have stolen from the booth!"

"What?" Principal Celestia suddenly asked Pepper.

"Nothing!" Pepper suddenly answered, changing the subject as she clears her throat, "Anyways~ The winners of the King and Queen Halloween are...EREBUS AND SUNSET!"

"What?" Both Sunset and Erebus spoke unison, shocked, and surprised by this victory.

"Congratulations!" Pinkie cheered, tossing some stuffed animals in the air.

"Yeah!" Rainbow Dash also cheered.

"What?! Unacceptable! I demanded a recount!" Trixie demanded after getting up from the ground.

"Sorry! This is what the people voted for! So, get on stage , Sunset & Erebus, and claim your crowns!" Pepper announced, earning cheers from the crowd as they got on stage. Principal Celestia puts the Halloween crowns on both Erebus and Sunset, earning cheers from the crowd. Pepper handed Sunset a microphone, so she could give her speech.

"Ahem...wow...this is my first event, but I like to say...thank you for voting for me and Erebus as your King and Queen of Halloween and thank you for your kid generosity to come and donate for our school. And to top it all off, I would like to bring out someone special for this event. HIT IT, PEPPER!"

"On it!" Pepper was at Vinyl Scratch's DJ booth as she looked at her, "May?"

Vinyl Scratch nodded and allowed Pepper to take control as she started playing the music. And soon, both Erebus and Sunset left the stage, as the fog machine activated. Everyone was in shock as the light slowly dimmed, but soon someone came walking through the fog, as the silhouettes figure revealed to be Willa Wisp. Everyone gasped in shock before letting out loud cheers at the sight of the popstars.

"ARE YOU READY, CANTERLOT HIGH!?" Willa yelled out through her mic, earning loud cheers from the crowd.

"I LOVE YOU WILLA!" Bulk Biceps yelled out, wearing a toga costume.

And then Willa begins to sing.

She came to the edge of the stage, high fiving her cheering fans, before returning to stage and dance. Sunset and Erebus clap to the beat with Onyx Star coming with them on stage to join in the fun. Vice Principal Luna stared at her daughter with wide eyes, watching her perform right on stage. Just then, Principal Celestia comes down and grabs her sister's hand, bringing her to stage to have a better look, and encouraging her to meet with her daughter.

Unaware to them, Aqua Moonlight uses a bit of her magic to create some scary illusions, bringing up the Halloween Spirit, as well as making a great performance. Everyone believes that it was special effects and continues to cheer.

As Willa finished everyone cheered at her, amazed and happy that she was here. "Thank you all for coming to this event. It means a lot to someone." Willa said, smiling towards Sunset, who grinned at her, before returning to the crowd. "But before I go, I want to sing this song to a special someone that did everything for me...and I want to thank her for what she did, even if making the hardest decision."

Vice Principal Luna gasped at this when she heard that. Willa looked at her cousin and nodded. Pepper did a thumbs up and played the next music, allowing her cousin to sing her song.

I would never let a tear fall from your eyes
No, no, no, no, no
'Cause everything you are to me
Oooh, I could never let you hurt inside
You mean so much and I'm so thankful that you're in my life
And I appreciate your love and all your sacrifice
Without you by my side, I never could survive
I wouldn't be the woman standing here before your eyes

You taught me strength and you gave me guidance
Whenever faith was lost, you were there to find it
And all because a mother's love is unconditional
With all my heart and all my soul, I wanna let you know

Said I thank you (I thank you)
And I love you (I love you)
And I would never ever place no one above you
Said I thank you (I thank you)
And I love you (I love you)
And I would never ever place no one above you
You have given me life and I just want you to know
That you're the reason I'm here today, I will never let go
To everything that we share and nothing can compare
I thank you, I thank you, I thank you
It's what I'm saying, yeah-yeah

Vice Principal Luna's eyes began to water at the song. She was singing about her! She couldn't believe it! All this time...she loved her even if she gave her up. She felt her sister placed a gentle hand on her shoulder, smiling at her softly.

"I told you she would understand." She said softly, causing Vice Principal Luna to cry a bit in happiness.

See, I've been blessed to be raised by a woman so strong, mhm-mhmm
'Cause even when I did things wrong
You would show me just the way that I should carry on
You kept me safe, and you protected me with all you had
And any time I was in need you gave your very last
Without you by my side, I never could survive
I wouldn't be the woman standing here before your eyes

You taught me strength and you gave me guidance
Whenever faith was lost, you were there to find it
And all because a mother's love is unconditional
With all my heart and all my soul, I wanna let you know

That I thank you (I thank you)
And I love you (I love you)
And I would never ever place no one above you
Said I thank you (I thank you)
And I love you (I love you)
And I would never ever place no one above you
You have given me life and I just want you to know
That you're the reason I'm here today, I will never let go
To everything that we share and nothing can compare
I thank you, I thank you, I thank you
It's what I'm saying, yeah

The crowd slowly cries, finding this song wonderful. Sunset wipes a tear away from her eyes, happy that Willa will find her mom. Erebus comforts her by wrapping an arm around her, allowing Sunset to rest her head on his shoulder.

I remember wakin' up early Monday morning
With my new dress and my new shoes, with the buckles on 'em
And you would kiss my face, and say "I love you, babe"
And you would be right there to take all of my fear away
And when he broke my heart, you said it was his lost
And not to think about, "You're better off without him"
Remember when they said that I was never gonna make it?
You said "it's yours, and all you gotta do is go and take it"

Said I thank you (I thank you)
And I love you (I love you)
And I would never ever place no one above you
Said I thank you (I thank you)
And I love you (I love you)
And I would never ever place no one above you
See, you have given me life and I just want you to know
That you're the reason I'm here today, I will never let go
To everything that we share and nothing can compare

Said I thank you (I thank you)
And I love you (I love you)
And I would never ever place no one above you
Said I thank you (I thank you)
And yes, I love you (I love you)
And I would never ever place no one above you
See, you have given me life and I just want you to know
That you're the reason I'm here today, I will never let go
To everything that we share and nothing can compare
I thank you, I thank you, I thank you
It's what I'm saying

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh
Mhm-mhmm
Mhm-mhmm

Once she was done, everyone cheered at her latest song, finding it beautiful and breathtaking.

"Happy Halloween everybody!" Pepper yelled through the mic, making the cheers louder.

Later, after the party was over, fans of both Willa and Pepper were seen chasing the limo that supposedly has the two famous people inside, chasing them with happy cheers as they left the school grounds. However, they were not aware that the limo was decoy, and the real Willa and Pepper were still in school, following Erebus to the halls of the school.

"We will go to her office; you will meet up with your mother soon." Erebus said, leading them to the halls.

"Are you okay, cuz? You look nervous." Pepper said to Willa, who was shaking a bit.

"Actually, I'm both excited and nervous about meeting my mom...I hope I can make a good expression." Willa said, fiddling her fingers a bit.

"Hey, you're gonna do great!" Pepper encourages her cousin, making her smile.

Meanwhile, inside Vice Principal Luna's office, Sunset and Principal Celestia were encouraging Vice Principal Luna to meet with Willa, face to face, no excuses, and no backing off. Vice Principal Luna was a nervous wreck, meeting her daughter for the first time for sixteen years will be a challenge for her.

"You can do this, Lulu." Principal Celestia encourages her sister.

"Are you sure? What if she's still mad at me?" Vice Principal Luna asked worriedly.

"She's not, she wrote that song just for you, trust me." Sunset said with an encouraging smile.

Then they heard knocking from the door, causing Vice Principal Luna to flinch a bit. Sunset went to the door and opened it to reveal Erebus, he said that she's ready and Sunset turned to Vice Principal Luna with a smile as she said to get ready, before opening the door to reveal a nervous Willa with Pepper giving encouragement from behind.

"We'll leave you two alone." Principal Celestia said to her sister as she gestured to Sunset and Erebus to follow her, closing the door from behind, leaving Willa and Vice Principal Luna, both looking nervous and awkward to one another.

Finally, after what felt like hours, Willa finally spoke, "Hi...I'm Willa...I guess you already know since...you named me..."

Vice Principal Luna nodded her head slowly, "I did..." She whispers out.

Willa then took out the letter from her pocket. "I...got the letter you sent years ago...and...and you really came to see me...I'm sorry if I didn't come there sooner to meet you. It must've hurt you that I was already adopted."

Vice Principal Luna shook her head, "No, I'm sorry, I should've been there for you! I should've raised you! But instead, I had to give up out of fear, I should've accepted it and become a mother." Vice Principal Luna took out the picture of her holding Baby Willa. Willa saw this and gasped in shock at the sight, "When I look at this, I regretted my action for not being there for you, I should have been the mother you deserve. I just wanted to give you a life that is better than being with me and-"

Vice Principal Luna was cut off when Willa runs into her and hugs her tightly, tears slowly fall from her eyes as she embraces her mother, "It doesn't matter! What matters now, I finally met you and learned that what you did was out of love. And it's okay, now I know that your heart is in the right place...Mom." She whispers out the word that she longs to say.

And hearing this, Vice Principal Luna broke down in tears, hearing that word brought joy in her heart. She longs to be called that. She regretted giving up her daughter's up, but it is in the past now. Now, they are together, and nothing is going to change this. Vice Principal Luna hugs her daughter, embracing her again after sixteen years of guilt and suffering. And now, the mother and daughter are finally reunited, crying their eyes out as they fall on their knees to the floor.

"It's good to finally hold you again, my little star." Vice Principal Luna whispers out happily.

"It's good to finally meet you, mom." Willa whispers back, a smile came to her face as they cried.

As the mother and daughter embrace, Principal Celestia, Sunset, Erebus, and Pepper watch from the slightly opened door. Happy that they are finally reunited. Pepper was crying her eyes out as she took pictures to capture the moment. Sunset wipes a tear from her eye as Willa is finally reunited with her mom.

"Thank you for helping my sister, Sunset." Principal Celestia said with gratitude.

Sunset smiles at Principal Celestia, "It's not just me, Principal Celestia, Erebus and Onyx Star helped us a lot. And she deserved happiness." She said, earning a smile from Principal Celestia.

"Speaking of Mr. Star, where is he? I haven't seen him since the event was over." Pepper asked them.

"He went out to help us with a certain...distraction." Erebus said to them.

Speaking of Onyx Star, he was seen driving the limo as it was still being chased by crazed fans. They were not aware that inside the limo were Aqua Moonlight and a teenage girl with dark bluish skin, eyes, black half-shaved hair with a light aquatic blue streak. Onyx Star glanced at his communicator and saw the message Erebus sent, saying that their mission was a success. He smirked at this before focusing on the road.

"Mission accomplished." Onyx Star announced. "We're heading to base."

The teenage girl sighs in relief, "Finally, I was getting bored here." She said in relief (Voice actress: China Anne McClain).

"I thought sirens like the attention, Galebreaker." Aqua Moonlight said to her.

"Pfft...I'm not that kind of siren, Aqua. I prefer not to draw any attention to myself, not after what happened back in Equestria." Galebreaker said with an annoyed growl.

"All right, all right, enough chit-chat, let's just get ready, who knows what will come." Onyx Star said, driving the limo and escaping the cheering crowd successfully.

And thus, ending the Halloween Event.


I hope you guys liked it! Galebreaker is an Oc my little sister asks me to make. Yes, she's a siren from Equestria, but she's a good siren, not like the Dazzlings. Anyways, I will post more soon.
