Ch. 4: History of Sunset Shimmer

Twilight and her friends went to Celestia's throne room in the morning and told him and wife and Cadence about the situation.

"You guys must've encountered my brat of a former student, Sunset Shimmer. Before Twilight came along, she studyed magic with me, but when she became impatient about studying a certain subject, she became cruel and dishonest, eventually abandoning her studies and choosing he rown path in life. A path which has led her to steal your crown, Twilight."

"She also replaced Twilight's crown with this replica," said Spike as he held out the replica crown.

Celestia inspected the replica crown before he said, "Figures that clever (bleep) would use this to deceive you, but you would soon learn that it wasn't yours. And that once you did, it would be too late to save her.

"But where did she go?" asked Twilight.

"(BLEEP) if I know. I haven't even studied the (BLEEP) thing."

Luna is looking into the mirror.

"This isn't like any mirror. It is a protal that opens every 2-and-a-half years."

Suddenly, a mask-like face appears in the mirror.

"Yeah well, you try beign a slave to an evil queen who is jealous of her stepdaughter," said ther face before disapeparing.

After a brief pause, "We sent the mirror to the Crystal Empire for Cadance to look after since it's been in Canterlto for a long time and we needed some room for the hottub."

Pan over to a Canterlot Room, where Discord is chillaxing at.

"Hey, y'all," said Discord.

We cut back to the Crystal Empire, where Cadance approaches Twilight.

"Twilight you gotta go to into this other world and retrieve your crown," said Cadance.

"Uh...okay," said Twilight uneasily.

"Well, if she goes, then we go." said Rainbow Dash confidently.

"I'm so nervicited!" shouted Pinkie Pie.

"Not a real word," said AJ bluntly.

"Sorry, but I can't let you all go," said Celestia, "It would probably disrupt the balance between both worlds."

"Sorry," said Rarity, "But we will not let Twilight journey this mission by herself."

"I'm the lead Equestrian here!" said Celestia indignantly.

"We don;t care." said Rarity.

"Now wait a minute!" said Celestia, "You can't just not care about my authority."

"We can!" said AJ, "Now if you want Twilight back in one piece, you must let us go with her so she would be okay. Or do you not have the guts to do waht you perceive is right?"

"Uh...guys?" said Cadence as they looked back and noticed that Twilight and Spike are gone.

"Where are Twilight and Spike?" asked Applejack

"They went through the portal," said Luna.

"Spike went with Twilight?" asked Celestia.

"Yep, something about not being able to let Twilight go without your assistant."

"Oh," said Celestia, "Well hopefully, they'll be okay."
