Homecoming

Chapter 1: Homesick

'Hard to believe all this craziness has only been going on for one year.', Sunset thought with a smile. 'The Fall Formal, the Battle of the Bands, The Friendship Games. Then there's all the duel madness that went down with Burst and the others. Duelist Kingdom. Battle City. And who would have guessed that the former mare in the moon would wind up dating Burst. Not to mention...' Sunset looked to Gold as they lay together watching the clouds. 'I found someone else who left from Equestria. One who makes an exceptional boyfriend. Come to think of it, it's been so long since I've thought of home.' Gold then noticed Sunset thinking.

"Something up?", he asked.

"Not really. Just thinking about...well, home. Our real home.", Sunset replied. "I guess after all we've been through, it's been the last place on my mind. Gold? Do you ever miss Equestria?" Gold was silent before he answered.

"...There's nothing there for me anymore.", Gold said as he sat up.

"Did...something happen?", Sunset asked.

"Let's just say Pegasus is my only family now.", Gold replied with a sad smile. "And with him, I've really not felt any sort of longing for my old home." Sunset sat up and wrapped her arms around him.

"I'm sorry. I probably shouldn't have asked..."

"It's alright Sunset. Besides, I also have you with me. And with you around, my life's a bit brighter.", Gold said with a smile. Sunset giggled at hearing this.

"That's so sweet of you Gold. A little bit cliché, but sweet." The two of them shared a kiss. "So where were we?"

"We were about to head to Sugar Cube Corner.", Gold offered her his hand as he helped her up. "I thought you'd like a treat as sweet as you are."

"Then let's be off.", Sunset said with a smile as the two of them headed off to Sugar Cube Corner. Time passed, and night soon fell over Canterlot. At Burst's house, Nightmare was looking at the moon as her mind drifted off into memories.

'It's only been a few months. And it feels like so much longer.', Nightmare thought to herself. 'Despite my past, everyone was willing to accept me. And because of my past....' Nightmare stared at Burst as he entered the room. 'I'd have never met Burst if it had never happened. He was the first one to not be afraid of me. Not to mention he gave me a new life almost literally. Without him, none of this would be possible. And he was also the first to love me. But somehow....' Nightmare then looked back at the moon. 'I still can't help but miss Luna and Equestria. I wonder how she'd react if I ever showed up again?' Burst noticed Nightmare deep in thought and walked up to her.

"Something on your mind?"

"I guess you could say I'm a little homesick.", Nightmare replied. "I like this world and all, but I can't help but miss Equestria just the tiniest bit."

"It was a really nice place. I DID enjoy my brief stay there. Plus it's where you first saw me." Burst wrapped his around Nightmare. "You know, I think I've got just the cure for your homesickness Moon."

"Really? That's great!" Moon hugged Burst tightly! "Thank you!"

"Moon. You're welcome. But you're kinda squeezing me!"

"Oh! Sorry! So what did you have in mind?"

"You'll find out tomorrow." Burst shared a kiss with Nightmare before going off to bed. "Goodnight Moon."

"Sweet dreams Burst.", Nightmare said as she and Burst drifted off to sleep. 'I can't wait to wake up tomorrow...'
