Time, sometimes the time just slips away
And your left with yesterday
Left with the memories
I, I'll always think of you and smile
And be happy for the time
I had you with me
Though we go our separate ways
I won't forget, so don't forget
The memories we made
Sunset Shimmer lay curled up on her mattress, quietly sobbing. For reasons unknown to her at the time, her friends no longer remembered her. So when she attempted to speak to her adoptive parents regarding it?
Their reaction had been callous and detached. Instead, they seemed enraged and apathetic to her. It hadn't taken her long to recognize whatever caused her friends to forget their memories of her had also impacted her parents.
Neither of her loving devoted parents remembered any good memories concerning her. Instead, they treated her like an ungrateful brat they had forced upon them, and they regretted adopting such an appalling child.
Please remember, please remember.
I was there for you
And you were there for me
Please remember, our time together
The time was yours and mine
And we were wild and free
Please remember, please remember me
Sunset clutched her locket tightly. Inside her locket was a photograph of her family. Her parents are on one side, and her friends are on the other. She'd tried to show it to her parents, but they ignored it.
Even when she attempted to show other evidence that she was a loving daughter, they disregarded it. Whoever had done this seemed to want her heart to shatter into millions of pieces.
Goodbye, there's just no sadder word to say
And it's sad to walk away
With just the memories
Who's to know what might have been
We'll leave behind a life and time
We'll never know again
The next day her heart shattered further. She had tried to talk to her boyfriend before first period. But Sunrise treated her even worse then her parents. He employed language that didn't match his character at all.
He proclaimed there be no way he date a two-timing bitch like her. That he didn't date bullies or individuals who treated others like crap. He also wouldn't date a liar like herself. That only broke Sunset's heart more. Even when she ultimately discovered who had it against her, a girl named Wallflower Blush? She'd tried to reason with her.
Please remember, please remember.
I was there for you
And you were there for me
And remember, please remember me
But then Wallflower attempted to obliterate everyone's memories of their high school years. Sunset knew that her friends would forget each other, but she'd be permanently erased from her parents' and boyfriend's minds.
Instead, she selflessly sacrificed her full memories of the human world. Before she jumped in, she hadn't realized that her parents and boyfriend had heard the whole exchange. They're shocked at what one petty girl had done to someone who'd never even done anything to her!
Please remember, please remember.
I was there for you
And you were there for me
Please remember, our time together
The time was yours and mine
And we were wild and free
And remember, please remember me
After the memory stone had extracted Sunset's memories of the human world, her friends, parents, and boyfriend bolted to her side. While they recognized they didn't remember Sunset, they assured her that her actions demonstrated how she loved and cared about them. Her parents consoled her, ensuring her they'd take care of her. Her boyfriend confirmed he'd also help her, as did her friends.
Then after they vanquished Wallflower, Sunset's parents Sunfire and Yin Yang had a stern conversation with the girl. Sunfire informed the girl what she'd done was considered a crime. However, it was also extraordinarily despicable and petty of her. Her husband likewise reminded Wallflower she voluntarily confessed that she'd obliterated everyone's memories of her.
Pointing out that no one noticed her in the first place because she hadn't done anything to be seen. She lived up to her name of being a wallflower. If you want people to notice you? You've to put yourself out there. Take the first step and talk to someone. Also, it would help if she didn't deliberately make herself even more unnoticeable.
She didn't project anything that made people want to notice her. She didn't smile, nor did her melancholy-colored apparel make people remember someone who blended into the background.
Sunrise also advised her that part of life is accepting that not everyone will like or be nice to you. No one is obligated to like you. Moreover, while it's important to be friendly to people?
They're still under no obligation to be nice to you either. Furthermore, Wallflower should assume accountability for how both her actions and lack of actions had rendered her invisible to others.
The Mane Seven even pointed out it wasn't fair to blame Sunset for her hardships. If no one had noticed her before? She shouldn't penalize one individual who'd put forth the effort to change.
Wallflower ultimately accepted her own deeds that had left her overlooked. Finally, acknowledging they're all right, and it was time she did put herself out there. She needed to make an effort to be more sociable. Furthermore, make an impression of someone worth remembering. Someone individuals would want to get to know.
Sunset's family then decided to throw an apology party to compensate for the despair they'd unintentionally caused her. Sunset promised she'd never take anything for granted again. Moreover, she was delighted to be able to make additional joyful memories with her family again!
And how we laugh and how we smile
And how this world was yours and mine
And how no dream was out of reach
I stood by you. You stood by me
We took each day and made it shine
We wrote our names across the sky
We ride so fast. We ride so free
And I had you, and you had me
Please remember, Please remember
You can't pour from an empty glass
When you feel like you're running on empty, you are. Trust that, and take a step back. Rest, heal and collect yourself. Then reconnect, for only after you've refilled yourself will you be ready to dive back into the world.
