A few hours later, everypony returns to Sugar Cube Corner after a mid meal burger smashing at Hayburger. How Sunset missed those overly ketchuped hayburgers! That's for certain.
Back at Sugar Cube Corner, everypony enjoys a good laugh as Pinkie tells joke after joke after joke and Sunset shares stories from her time in the human world. Everything is going perfect until Twilight is summoned away by Princess Luna and Princess Celestia to tend to some royal business.
At the Canterlot Castle, Celestia and Luna bring Twilight into the main hall and close the doors.
"Why is Sunset back here?" asks a pissed off Celestia.
"Because, don't you think you've banned her to the world of humans for long enough?" asks Twilight.
"Perhaps you're right," sighs Celestia.
"I sense there's something more, though," says Luna.
"There is," replies Twilight, "she returned to see her father. Her father, Sunburst."
"It was bound to happen eventually sister, you know that," says Luna to Celestia.
"I know," replies Celestia, "she was bound to learn the truth about her father eventually. I just didn't think she'd ever return to reunite with him."
"Why would you think that?" asks Luna puzzled.
"Because, I thought she didn't care for any pony other than herself, clearly I was wrong."
"You were, indeed, sister."
"Please go easy on Sunset, she regrets what she's done and wants you to forgive her," says Twilight to Celestia.
"I'll apologize to her, first thing tomorrow after I raise the sun." Twilight then takes this news and flies back to Ponyville where she tells it to Sunset.
"Celestia is willing to apologize to you, first thing tomorrow after she raises the sun," says Twilight to Sunset. Sunset is pleased and leaps for joy. She's glad that Celestia has found it in her heart to forgive her and that's all she could ever really ask for.
