Official Bonus Chapter #2
The sunlight managed to peek through Sunset's eyes as she slowly awoke. She opened her eyes, first noticing the familiar interior of the room that matched most of Ponyville Castle. Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, Sunset paused for a moment as she had to remember she was once again equine. A small smile crept into her face.
The previous evening, after the princesses had returned to Canterlot, Sunset, Starlight, and Twilight had gone to the library and they had spent the next few hours talking, mostly about what had been going in Equestria recently, but also about the human world for Starlight's benefit. Starlight seemed very curious about the place and while she didn't say anything, Sunset spotted her look of interest, a look she probably had many times under Celestia’s tutelage.
It only became slightly uncomfortable once Twilight asked about Sunset's reaction when reuniting with her former teacher. Sunset had no issue telling them that the reunion had been for the most part uneventful (she decided not to mention the whole scene at Sugar Cube Corner) and they were able to reconcile. And then of course she and Princess Luna had some time to get to know each other.
It was only when Starlight asked about what drove the two apart that both Twilight and Sunset became uncomfortable. She wasn't proud to admit it, but she was power hungry and she couldn't have cared less about friendship. However, once she mentioned about Twilight helping her, her tone became more upbeat. In the end, she had said, maybe it was all supposed to happen. She certainly didn't have any regrets about it now.
The evening had continued on with Sunset practicing with her magic, looking up spells she had almost forgotten about. Seeing her magic first-hand, both Twilight and Starlight were impressed with her skills. Sunset made sure to remind Twilight that a magic duel was in order before she went back. By the time they all finally turned in for the night, it was well past one.
Sunset had opened the door out of the guest room and saw that the row of doors were similar to the one she was stepping out of. “Well, this isn't disorienting at all,” she thought as she looked down both ways. Now she wished she had paid more attention to where she had been coming from.
“It's a little confusing isn't it?” Sunset jumped at the sudden voice and turned around to see Starlight addressing her. “Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. I was about to come get you since Spike's making breakfast.”
“It's alright.” Sunset looked around again. “Is this how it felt when you first came here?”
“Pretty much,” Starlight said as she motioned Sunset to follow her. “I've been trying to convince Twilight that we need put up signs or something but she's convinced that only takes away the fun of exploring the castle.”
“Yeah, that sounds like her,” Sunset commented. “Wait...so Spike's practically the head chef here?”
“Yep, Twilight still hasn't filed that request for members of the Royal Guard or any aides,” Starlight replied. “But I guess since she's an alicorn she hardly needs any protection.”
They finally reached the throne room where they found Twilight reading, you guessed it, a book while eating a stack of pancakes. She looked up and smiled at Sunset. “Morning Sunset. I hope you don't mind pancakes for breakfast. Spike's are probably the best here in Ponyville.”
“Just make sure to check for rubies and sapphires,” Starlight joked.
Twilight giggled. “Don't worry, he saves that extra ingredient for himself. Come take a seat.”
Sunset looked at the other thrones, noticing the cutie marks. “You sure?”
“Oh don't worry, no one will mind,” Twilight assured her.
Sunset then decided to sit at Fluttershy’s throne and used her magic to drag a plate of pancakes and a fork over to herself. “Can I just say your castle is complicated.”
“What? No it's not,” Twilight dismissed the thought with a wave of her hoof. “Starlight figured it out.”
“After about a month perhaps,” Starlight grumbled slightly.
Twilight rolled her eyes slightly. “But I suppose it would be more convenient for others visiting the castle.”
“Speaking of which, anything important happening today?” Sunset asked as she took a big bite of pancakes.
Twilight sighed. “Nothing unfortunately.” She glanced at the map. “I was hoping the map would have something for me to do but of course, nothing.”
“Well, maybe you could go somewhere, like a trip or vacation?” Sunset suggested. “Or we can make it an all girls trip to Las Pegasus?”
“Hm...I don't know,” Twilight said. “I guess what I want to do is visit...well…”
“Back there huh?” Sunset asked, knowing exactly what she meant.
“Yeah.” Twilight sighed again. “But I can't just leave the castle. Somepony has to be here in case of an emergency.”
She then noticed the smirk on Sunset's face. “I don't like the look on your face.”
“All I was going to say was that there is someone who can take your place.”
“Wait you mean-?” Twilight's eyes narrowed. “Oh no no, I'm not doing that.”
“Why not?” Sunset asked. “It's not like she hasn't wanted to check out Equestria.”
“Alright, you two lost me,” Starlight said.
“Sunset thinks I should trade places with my counterpart,” Twilight said. “I'm not going to do that to her.”
“She's perfectly capable of using magic now,” Sunset stated. “Besides, it's not like Starlight and I can't help her out.”
“Wait, don't drag me into-!”
“She'll be fine,” Sunset assured her. Her grin then widened. “Besides, it's only proper payback for what Celestia and Luna did right?”
Twilight stared at her. “Seriously? You think I'd do this just to spite those two?” She got up in a huff, turning around to leave. “I'm not even mad about that anymore. So what, right?” She headed towards the door in a light trot. “I'll just write a letter to Celestia saying I'll be taking some time off and-”
She got to the door and paused for a moment. It didn't take much for the two unicorns to see something was on Twilight's mind. “You know what?” She turned around and looked at her friends. “Screw it. If they get mad about this I'll be sure to call them out on what they did. Can you get a hold of Twilight?”
Sunset smiled. “Just get me a quill.”
To be continued in…

If you're talking about Rainbow and Luna, it'll be brought up yes.
And then of course she and Princess had some time to get to know each other.
I think a name is missing there.
Oh boy... here we go again.
Can't wait for the sequel!
Heh. Looking forward to the sequel. XD
Sweeeeeeet. Sequel.
Yay sequel.
I'll be waiting patiently.
8258620
Well...there is a RE vibe to it so you're not wrong.
8258420
It's Canada.
Oh yes. I do hope Twilight won't be the only one making the switch.
vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/courage/images/1/11/Courage.a.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110304185658
YES!
Sunset, you schemer you. Human Twi is going to be in for a nerdgasm
I am seriously wondering when Sunset's going to return home to the human world XD. I am guessing in the next story. either way, I look forward to the chaos thats sure to take place in the next story.
This was a fun story to read. Good job but needed more Starlight :p
I feel kinda bad for having started to read the sequel before I read this, but it didn't hurt. Not a lot of spoilers, at least. Anyway, fun ride and well done!

I bet you're one of those people that watched Age of Ultron before The Avengers!
8291159
...no. I'm old enough to have seen all of the MCU films in proper release order. I'd say that for the whole of the MCU, but I missed one episode of "Agents of SHIELD" because of family stupidity and haven't watched it on Netflix yet.
And yes, my sense of humor is defective.
I know it has nothing to do with this story but looking at that title, I can't help but be reminded of this song.
Oh this is just getting good....>=)
8429839
Essentially what I said, yeah.
Uhhh...
Oh, sequels?
Lemme rephrase: UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.............

I've read many stories like that.
That was a fun read. Thanks for creating and sharing.
Wow.
That might be an accidental historical accuracy. One of the purposes of a castle was to be a stronghold, and was incredibly difficult to actually assault. There were a lot of odd angles, spiral staircases, steps of uneven height, and of course, an illogical layout designed to confuse attackers. Of course, with modern explosives, that's not as much of an advantage anymore.
