Sunset Shimmer is surprise that all of these people came here to see her. But when she see the principal she can't help but feel like she has seen her before, but she can't remember where. "Hello," Sunset says shyly. "Hello, my name is Celestia," Celestia says. "And I'm Luna," Luna replies. "Hello it's nice to meet you," Sunset says shyly. "Please there's no need to be shy, we all came to see if you're okay, the doctor also inform us of what happened," Celestia says. "Oh," Sunset says. "It's okay we're all here to help you," Luna replies. "Really," Sunset replies. "And we bought you get well presents!" Screwball screams happily. "Oh course darling, I even brought these for you. Oh and where are my manners I'm Rarity," Rarity replies. "Hi Rarity," Sun replies. When she see the bag she asks, "What's in the bag?" "They're new clothes for you darling," Rarity replies. "Clothes, oh you really didn't have to do that," Sunset says. "Yes I do," Rarity says sadly. "What's wrong?" Sunset asks after taking notice of Rarity's face. "It just that, it was my family van that hit you a month ago," Rarity replies sadly. "What?" Sunset says quietly. "But it wasn't her fault, it was mine," Screwball replies sadly. "What do you mean?" Sunset asks. "I got on the road by accident, and I was fooling around with Gilda and Lightning Dust because they were picking on you," Screwball answers. "You can say that again," Lightning comes forward. "She's right, we weren't being very nice to you, and we didn't realize how scared you were. We usually do that to let people know we're tough, but I guess we went a little too far," Gilda replies. "After what happened, we went straight to principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna and told her everything," Lightning replies. "What we're all trying to say is that," Rarity says. "We're sorry," The 4 girls replies. "It's okay, at least I'm still alive that's all that counts right," Sunset replies. "Yes, but you were in an accident that some consider almost too impossible to survive." Celestia says. "Really," Sunset says sacredly. "It's true," Sunset hears the voice and turn around to see the other girl with the green eyes. "Oh, hello. What's your name?" Sunset asks. "My name is Sweetie Belle." Sweetie Belle replies. "Nice to meet you," Sunset replies. "It's nice to meet you too," Sweetie Belle replies happily. "Well from what we have so far, after the incident the news people were all over us for almost a month," Luna interjects. "Why," Sunset asks. "Well my dear thing weren't easy to explain, by the way my name is Discord, Screwball's dad," Discord answers. "Nice to meet you Discord," Sunset says, the she asks, "But what is it that is hard to explain?" "Well, to be honest none of us had any idea where you come from, we even had to tell the news that you weren't part of the school either," Luna replies. "So you don't know who I am either?" Sunset asks sadly, "I'm afraid not," Celestia answers. "Oh," Sunset replies sadly. That didn't bring up Sunset's hopes, in Celesita's eyes Sunset Shimmer is a young girl who really need help. She also remember that some people in the hospital and from the news believes that Sunset Shimmer might be the only survivor in a terrible fire, which is only way to explain the burn marks and why she is all alone. "What I'm I gonna do," Sunset asks to herself. "Don't worry we're going to help you," Celestia answers. "How?" Sunset asks. "Well my sister and I were talking with Discord and Screwball yesterday and they said they are more than happy to let you live with them," Luna answers. "Really, are you sure? I mean I don't want to be a burden to you," Sunset asks and replies. "Of course we're sure," Discord says. "Yeah, you can be my big sister, but first before you take care of me I going to take care of you," Screwball replies happily. "Okay," Sunset replies. Then when she looks at the other two people, she asks, "By the way, who are you two?" "Oh, these are my parent, this my father Magnum and my mother Betty Bouffant," Rarity replies. "Hello it really nice to meet you, though wish it was in good condition since your little incident," Betty replies. "Again we're really sorry for what happen, we tried to stop the car as well as we could," Magnum replies. "It's okay, thing are better, more or less," Sunset replies. "But still, we wish there is some way we can make it up to you," Betty replies sadly. "I don't know, I mean I still don't know my name," Sunset answers. "Well I got a good idea," Gilda says suddenly. "Gilda, you are not naming her," Rarity says angrily. "Ha, and why not," Gilda asks with a smirk on her face. "Because Gilda is not up to you to decide. Since I the one who is taking care of her Screwball and I get to decide," Discord answers. "Oh," Gilda replies. "So daddy, what are we going to call her?" Screwball asks. "Well since Gilda and Lightning Dust told us she has a shimmering sun symbol on her shirt and it matches her half sun necklace and with her matching hair and face…" Discord starts to think of a name. "Discord," Luna replies annoyed. "I think we can call her Sun, what do you think," Discord suggests. "Sun that name sounds familiar somehow," Sunset suggests. "Really!" Celestia says surprisingly. Then she asks, "Do you remember anything else?" Sunset starts to think about it, but shook her head replying no in response. "Oh," Luna replies. "That settles it, Sun it is," Screwball replies. "I think Sun has a good ring to it," Rarity replies. "Sound good to me," Gilda replies. "Yeah," Lightning Dust replies. "Okay everyone visiting hours are over," Red Heart replies. "Ow do we have to," Screwball asks complaining. "Yes Screwball, Sun needs her rest, but don't worry the doctor said that she'll be out of the hospital by next week," Luna replies. "Yay!" Screwball screams. "Bye darling, oh and I hope you try one the new clothes when you get out," Rarity replies. "Yeah, see you around kid," Gilda replies. "Hope you enjoy the presents," Sweetie Belles replies With that everyone leave the room so Sunset Shimmer which is now the name Sun needs some rest. Sun hopes she is able to get through with this, but Sun feels like she has some new friends and can't wait to get out to the hospital to be with her new family and new friends. She then look at the presents they gave to her and it shows that they really care about her and felt sorry after what happened. Sun then gets very sleeping and decides to go to bed and hope this incident is put behind her.
