Sunset Shimmer stared at her reflection. She wanted so badly to return home. An image of her pony self stared back at her. She hugged the closed portal and cried. "I miss that world too." A voice said from behind her. She gasped and turned around. 
"Flash? What are you doing here? How do you know about the other world?" Flash Sentry helped Sunset Shimmer to her feet. 
"Twilight invited me over. There's an alternate version of me, and she's fallen in love with him." Flash laughed. Sunset gazed into his eyes. The starlit sky seemed to glow brighter.
"Flash, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have treated her that way. I know you like her. Stay with her. I don't care." Sunset felt another tear roll down her cheek. Flash grabbed her hands in his own. 
"You don't have to be." He said, the moment before they kissed.



Day rose upon the night sky. Sunset was in her bed, wide awake, as she had been for hours. She was thinking about last night, with her and Flash. It all happened so fast, she couldn't wait to see him again. Sadly, it may be the last time she saw him. Today was the last day of High School, and they were moving on to college next fall. She doubted they would get into the same one. Sunset got up slowly. She got ready, and headed downstairs in silence. A note hung on the fridge. It read
"Sunset, I've left for work. See you after school. -Mom" Sunset sighed.
"And then what?" Toxemia asked her mom. 
"Well, we got into the same college, and we soon got married and had you." Toxemia hugged her mom. 
"But why am I named after poison?" She asked. Sunset laughed. 
"Well, that's a long story. We'll have to wait until you're older." Sunset picked her daughter up with her magic and carried her off into her bedroom. The fireplace crackled and lit the room with a dim orange glow. Toxemia wrapped herself up in a blanket and started to sleep. Sunset Shimmer walked out and shut the door quietly. Under the blanket, Toxemia lifted up some of her long hair to reveal a tiny horn with a teal aura. Her own little secret.
Toxemia awoke, snoring. She lifted one eye. The rays of the sun shone through the window blinds. Toxemia looked outside to see Canterlot. Unicorn ponies trotted peacefully along the sidewalks as chariots strolled by. The young filly walked groggily into the kitchen. 
"Good morning, Toxy." Her mom said as she walked in. 
"Hey mom."Toxemia replied. 
"Did you sleep okay?" Her mom asked her. 
"Yeah." Toxemia hopped into a chair next to the counter. 
"Here." Sunset Shimmer gave Toxemia a plate of pancakes. Her mom used her magic to levitate a bottle of syrup over the stack. She closed the lid, then put it back on the counter. 
"Oh, how I wish I could use magic." Toxemia complained as she chewed her pancake. 
"Well, you are more like your father than you are of me." Sunset replied, putting away dishes. 
"Hey mom," Toxemia asked. 
"Yes dear?" Her mom replied. 
"I have something I should tell you."
