Lately, tons of people on the internet have been referring to Sunset Shimmer as their "waifu". She's caught wind of it, but she's confused. What's a "waifu", and why is everyone saying she's better than other "waifus"?

Graduation is coming up for the Canterlot High Wondercolts, and Sunset Shimmer is questioning whether she should stay in the human world or come home to Equestria. While spending another lonely night in the bedroom of her apartment contemplating the same question over and over, she stumbles upon an old, worn out spiral notebook that she and her friends thought had once been lost. Seeing the many memories the notebook contains prompts Sunset to realize how much she's changed. Will she stay in the human world or will she come home to Equestria?

Ever wondered what Sunset does for a job? Mechanic, maybe? Computer analyst, perhaps? How about a waitress at a sushi bar?

Wait... what was that last one?

Silly little thing I came up with after the reveal of the "Sunset Sushi" Mini (which is utterly adorable!}

Little candle, why must you try and be so bright?
Can you not see that the Sun high above you provides enough light?

This now has a reading by Sunlestia! Russian translation courtesy of NovemberDragon and Randy1974.

There are some things in this world I have never been able to explain. At what point does safety infringe upon basic trust? Why is it that I could be considered less than a pony with feelings like everyone else? Why do I even have to ask these questions?

It wasn't always like this. I once laughed and loved like everyone else. I once had a life I wanted to live.

Then it was taken from me.
