The Hearth's Warming party is going on in the ballroom, and everypony are having a good time. None are so happy than Sun, Falling Star, and their friends and family. They are happily talking among themselves, and some other ponies who also want to talk to Sun. During that time, Sun has explain to them about her times living in the other world, and all the magic trouble that has happened both times. As she does that, Octavia Lyra, Vinyl, and some of the other ponies think Sun's story is amazing.
"Wow, so you really did lived in another world the whole time!" Vinyl exclaims with excitement.
Sun blushes a bit and says, "Yeah, I know."
"I knew human being exists, I just knew it!" Lyra screams in excitement.
"Lyra, remember to control yourself while you were around them," Bon Bon firmly replies.
Lyra blushes a bit, and sheepishly says, "Right... my bad."
"That's alright. You two actually remind me of the Lyra and Bon Bon from the world I came from," Sun says with a smile.
Lyra and the others become a bit confused on what Sun says.
Then Octavia asks, "What do you mean?"
Twilight steps in, and explains, "She means that the world Sun's been living in is a reflection and yet human version of Equestria, so each of us including the princesses have counterparts of your own."
The news kind of shock them a bit, but at the same time, they think it's pretty amazing and kind of scary at the same time.
Vinyl says, "That's so awesome!"
"But a bit strange that there are two of us in different dimensions," Octavia replies with a confused look.
"Have you met a counterpart of you yet, Sun?" Bon Bon asks.
Sun and Twilight then becomes skeptic about that question that is given to them. This is something they have never mention to them before.
Sun turns to the others and answers, "To be honest, I never seen a counterpart of myself before. Then again I never thought about it before."
"That's okay Sun, I'ms you won't be running into your counterpart anytime soon," Falling Star star with a grin.
"Right," Sun replies with a smile.
Throughout the morning and late into the afternoon, Sun and her friends have been having a great time. From the looks of things, Falling Star has been fully accepted by the ponies at Canterlot, and Falling Star the six ponies learn to forgive and give ponies a chance. After the part is over, Sun, Twilight, and their friends can see Falling Star is talking some of her friends, sister, and new friends. Sun smiles happily to see Falling Star problem is finally over, and able to have more friends here. Just then, Sun, Twilight, and the girls feel a strange tingling feeling on their flanks. They look to see their cutie marks are glowing and shimmering.
Sun turns to Twilight, and says, "I don't think I'm going to get used to this anytime soon."
"Don't worry sugarcube, I'm sure you'll get used to it eventually," Applejack says.
"I think it means that our work here is done," Twilight says.
Then Twilight turns to Sun and says, "And I think I know why the map called you here?"
"You do?" Sun asks.
Twilight nods her head and explains, "I think the map knows that you are the first pony to ever forgive Falling Star for everything she has done, and know that you are the one who can help us making sure Falling Star get her confidence back and make sure everypony knows it too."
"Sounds like the best reason to me," Rainbow agrees.
"I agree," Pinkie adds with glee.
Yeah, but I think now will be a good time to head back home," Sun says.
Pinkie frowns a bit and says, "Aw, but I was planning on showing you around Ponyville."
"As much as I live to see around your neighborhood, but I really should get back home to my dad and sister. Plus, I need to talk to my friends about the you know whats," Sun explains.
That makes the girls remember that Sun still need to talk her friends about the Anon-A-Miss problem and about her dream situation. Sun also remember that before they leave to bring everypony to the castle, her parents explain to her about what has happened years ago. Sadly it makes Sun remember about, especially about her seeing the windigos. They all nod their head reply to the idea.
Sunshine hugs Sun and happily says, "Don't forget we get to come with you."
"Yeah," Rocky happily says.
Sun giggles a bit, and says, "Don't worry you two, I remember."
With that, Sun writes to her friends in the journal to her journal she has left behind in her house. Of course, the message says that they are delighted that Sun is coming home and are able to meet her really family. they are really happy that Sun is going to be staying with them too. After explaining the plan, Sun's adopted father, Discord agrees to pick them up at the school so they won't be in the cold for very long. With Twilight and Sun's spell, they are able to teleport themselves, along with the five friends, Spike, and Sun's family along with Sun's cat to Twilight's castle in Ponyville. Of course they are in front of the portal ready to head to the other world. Sun, Twilight, the girls, and Spike give each other a group hug saying goodbye. After that, Sun and her family step in front of the portal ready to go in.
Sun turns to her family, and asks, "Is everypony ready?
"Ready!" Sun's family answer with smiles on their faces.
With that, Sun steps through the portal first. then Phoenix Dawn, Sunstone, Rosemary, Scarlet, Rocky, Sunshine, and finally Nina the wild cat step through the portal. After they all make it through, Sun is back to being a human girl and has the same clothes she is wearing when she leaves a few days ago. Sun turns to see that her parents, brothers, and sisters are human being with the same skin, eye, and hair appearance, but they are wearing nice clothes.
Phoenix Dawn is wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans, and black shoes. Sunstone is wearing a bright yellow long sleeve dress, with white heel shoes. Rosemary is wearing a black blouse, a long pine green skirt, and bright green tennis shoes. Scarlet is wearing a burgundy shirt, a black jacket, black jeans, and black shoes. Rocky is wearing a gray shirt, dark blue pants, and red shoes. Sunstone is wearing a pale yellow dress with stockings, and mary janes. They do have clothes on because of the portal's magic, but not comfortable for the winter snow.
Just then, they hear honking noises and end up being spooked by it. Sun turns to see a van at the front of the school. Sun smiles to see her dad, Discord is here to pick them up, and just in time. Sun quickly teaches her family how to walk in two, and have them bring into the car. After a quick drive, Sun, her family, along with Discord arrive at the house. Sun feels a bit unsure about it since what happened, but decides to go for it. When they go in the house, they can see the room is dark.
Just then, the lights turn on, everybody jump out, and shouts, "Surprise!"
Sun becomes surprised to see that her friends, along with some of her classmates are here. Sun smiles to see that that everyone she cares for are together in one place, and they can celebrate. The next thing Sun knows is that The Dazzlings, her sister, and her other friends are heading towards them, along with the Crusaders.
Pinkie gives Sun a big hug as she happily screams in fast speed, "Hi Sun! Oh we missed you so much, and we're sorry for every doubting you, but don't worry me and the others set up this party to make it up to you and to show how much we care. We also turned it into a special party to meet your family from Equestria. Now that we're all together we can celebrate in the big and exciting christmas party!"
"Um Pinkie… I'm a little… squished… can't breath…" Sun replies, feeling like she can't breath.
Adagio taps Pinkie on the shoulder, and says, "Pinkie, I think you should let Sun go. She's starting to suffocate."
Pinkie lets go of Sun and give her one last hug. Then she lets Sun go again.
Then Rarity says, "Pinkie's right about that, we're all very sorry for thinking you would do something like exposing our secrets like that."
"Yeah, and ended up doing what Anon-A-Miss wanted us to do the whole time," Rainbow sadly adds.
"And we're sorry that we weren't there for you when you were going through those nightmares," Fluttershy sadly adds.
"That's okay. Though to be honest, I wasn't very happy that you all think I would do something like spreading gossip, but I'm glad you were able to change your minds," sun replies.
"Yeah, but if it wasn't for The Dazzling's clues and evidence, and The Crusaders' confession, we would still think you were exposing everyone secrets," Applejack says.
"But what about everyone who in a way helped Anon-A-Miss, or should I say The Crusaders with this whole mess?" Sun asks.
Aria comes over and says, "The Crusaders give them the name and some of the students confess during this ordeal, and… let's just say that the ones who did will be at community service for a while, while the one she didn't wil be put in detention for a few weeks."
"And we also need to do community service, and be in detention for months," Scootaloo adds.
Then Sweetie Belle says, "And we agree that we'll be helping you around the house and school to make it up to you."
"We're really sorry for the trouble we caused," Apple Bloom sadly says.
Sun can see that her five friends, and The Crusaders are very sorry for the mess that has happened before the holiday. She can also see that this whole mess started out with jealousy, then leads to everyone else playing along.
Sun smiles at them, and says, "Of course I forgive you, but next time, let's just talk this out before you decide to say or do something that might end up getting ourselves into another mess, okay."
"Okay," The Crusaders reply.
At that moment, The girls give Sun a hug, and their friendship has been fully restored. Throughout the part, Sun has introduced her family to her friends and they all become friends with each other right away. The friends even introduces their families to them as well. Later on in the part, Sun and her family are having conversation with the others at the party. Flash and his band are talking to Scarlet about music.
Flash says, "I have to say, you sure have great talent as a songwriter."
"I can say the same about you Flash. I can see why my sister liked you," Scarlet replies.
Flash blushes about that part, and kind of agrees with him, and his two friends start to giggle.
Rosemary is with Pinkie as happily says, "I have to say, you remind me a lot of Princess Twilight's friends.
"Yep, I'm also friends with Princess Twilight too. She and Sun are the most besties out of all of us," Pinkie happily replies.
Rocky and Sunshine are with the Crusaders, Snip and Snails, Featherweight, Rumble, and Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.
Diamond Tiara says, "I have to admit, you look very pretty."
"Yeah. It's like you're full of sunshine, and it matches your name," Sweetie Belle agrees.
"Thank you," Sunshine replies.
"You sure are lucky to have Sun as your sister," Rumble says.
Rocky says with a smile, "Yeah. I'm pretty glad to have her as a great sister too."
Sun is with her family and adopted family, having a pleasant conversation.
Sunstone giggles as she says, "I still can't believe Screwball pulled that pranks on you."
"Yeah. Screwball switch baking soda with baking powder while I was making brownies, and when I took it out of the oven, it was a ½ inch thick," Sun explains.
Screwball laughs, and says, "Yep, I sure got one on you."
Sunstone and Phoenix laughs a bit after hearing it.
Then Phoenix says, "I have to admit, you seem to have a good life here."
"Even though you're living with the counterparts of the Lord of Chaos and Princess of Chaos," Sunstone adds.
Discord laughs, and says, "I don't know about lord or princess, but Screwy sure got the pranking style from me."
"You said it dad," Screwball replies.
Sun giggles as she says, "I swear you two are like two peas in a pod."
As the families are talking about their experiences, Applejack, the others, and The Dazzlings walk over to them. Sun and the two families look to see the girls having microphones and instruments in their hands.
Sun smiles and says, "Hey guys, what are you doing?"
"We're going to play that's what we're going to do," Rainbow answers with glee.
Fluttershy holds out her notebook as she says, "I wrote a song that will great for the occasion."
"And I made you something really special," Rarity adds holding a box.
Sun looks to see that Rarity is holding a bright red box with mistletoes, and candy canes on it, and a bright green ribbon on the top. Sun is wondering what the presence can be.
Then Sun takes the box from Rarity, and asks, "What is it?"
"Open the box and find out," Rarity replies happily.
Sun then starts to open up the present. She takes the green ribbon of, tear off the red paper, and open the box. To Sun's surprise, Rarity has given her a brand new outfit to wear. Inside the box is a light blue green shirt with silk sleeves, a light gold yellow skirt, light blue leggings, black high heel boots with a orange stripe on the front, and a black jacket with an orange stripe on each sleeve. Sun also notice a coupon from the Canterlot Spa for a free makeover for the hair and nails.
Sun smiles, and says, "Oh Rarity, these clothes are amazing."
"I knew you would like it," Rarity remarks with a smile.
Applejack makes a smug on her face, and says, "And she thinks it will be a good idea for you to hit the spa too."
"Very funny," Rarity muttered with annoyance.
Sun her families, and the girls simply laughs a bit. Some time later, The Rainbooms, and The Dazzlings are in the living and have their instruments out. Sun's Equestrian family and Human family are at the front along with the girls' families. Everyone else are here to watch the two groups performed the song Fluttershy has written. Rarity starts to by playing her keytar like a piano, and Fluttershy plays her tambourine. With that Sun starts to sing the song.
Sun:
Nothing stays the same for long
But when it changes doesn't mean it's gone
Time will always get away
As it leaves behind another day
Fluttershy:
Things may come and things may go
Some go fast and some go slow
Few things last, that's all I know
But friendship carries on through the ages
Rarity and Fluttershy:
Things may come and things may go
Some go fast and some go slow
Few things last, that's all I know
But friendship carries on through the ages
With that the girls transforms with their pony ears, tails, and wings. Rainbow Applejack, and Pinkie play along with their instruments along with the others, as they sing their part.
Rainbow Dash:
Been around for a long time
Rocking out hard 'cause I'm in my prime
Maybe it'll change further down the line
But my friendship carries on through the ages
Applejack:
Every single style has something
Different it can say
There's nothing wrong with being unique
And special in your own way
Pinkie Pie:
Maybe you wanna be a pop star
Get your fifteen minutes of fame, wha, ah! Ah, oh!
That won't last forever
But friendship remains the same, ah-oh, oh!
The Rainbooms and The Dazzlings:
Things may come and things may go
Some go fast and some go slow
Few things last, that's all I know
But friendship carries on through the ages
Rarity, Adagio Dazzle, and Sun:
(But friendship carries on)
The Rainbooms and The Dazzlings:
Things may come and things may go
Some go fast and some go slow
Few things last, that's all I know
But friendship carries on through the ages
Rarity, Adagio Dazzle, and Sun:
(But friendship carries on)
The Rainbooms and The Dazzlings:
Ohhh-oh, carries on...
After they play their song, everyone in the room cheer for them. Sun, and her friends are glad that things are finally back to normal, and gain her family and new friends too. Sun feels that this must be the best Christmas and Hearth's Warming she has in her life. Sun is happy that she is able to be with her family and friends this Christmas or in Hearth's Warming in Equestria's terms.
A few weeks later, everyone are back at school and are heading to hang out with friends, go to their classroom and do other activities. In the cafeteria, Rainbow, Applejack, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Adagio, Aria, and Sonata are in the cafeteria before their first class starts. They are waiting for Sun to show up. She explains to them yesterday that she has a special surprise to show them.
Sonata asks, "I wonder what Sun's surprise is?"
"I don't know darling, she said it's very special," Rarity answers.
"Whatever it it, she's kind of excited to show it to us," Applejack says.
Pinkie looks at the door and says, "Look, there she is!"
The girls turn to see heading towards them. They gasp in shock to see that Sun looks different. Sun is wearing the new outfit Rarity has made for her, and is carrying her backpack. What's shocking to them is that Sun's hair is lighter than or original look, and she has bright yellow nail polish. She walks to see her friends with awed looks on their faces.
"Hey guys, so, how do you like my new look?" Sun asks with glee.
The girls are not sure what to say about it, and can see Sun looks amazing, but different.
Adagio breaks the silence, and asks, "Sun, what did you do to your hair?"
"I thought it's time for a new look so I used the coupon Rarity gave me to my hair lighter. I also got a trim and got my nails done," Sun explains.
Applejack smiles and says, "I have to admit, that is a great look on you."
"I agree, it looks so cool," Aria agrees.
"I think you look pretty," Sonata adds with a smile.
"Thanks," Sun replies.
Fluttershy smiles, "So how was the rest of your vacation go?"
"I think it went well. I also had a great time with you guys, and my family from her and in Equestria," Sun replies.
"Do you think they'll come back to visit soon," Pinkie asks.
"They said that they'll be able to come back anytime, and I promised to visit them when I'm not busy with school and other stuff," Sun explains.
Then Rainbow says, "Maybe you can invite your parents to the Friendship Games in a few months."
Sun remembers this, and says, "That's right, it's this year. Are any of you going to try out?"
The girls then talk that they are planning on being the thames, and can't wait to have some fun. For the rest of the day, the girls have attended their classes, and hang out with each other at lunch, and after school. The girls are glad that everything is back to normal, and a new event will be happening at the school. So they are going to work together to make it through tryouts and to play in the Friendship Games.
