Special thanks to… ...Ponygood for being the only guy to comment on this story while it was active. Huh. I guess this one was just not that popular. I don't know why. Well, congrats Ponygood! This story was a bit of an undertaking with so many plotlines to keep track of. It was honestly a bit of an experiment to see if I could handle it all. I think it turned out pretty well. I am not planning a sequel of any kind, but if I get ahold of Stranger Things Season 2, who knows? Maybe inspiration will strike. -GM, master of Things that are Strange ~~~ "Darling, all that was forgiven a long time ago." Sunset let out a breath of relief and hugged Rarity. "I... I'm... Thank you." Rarity sighed sadly. "Dear, you were trying, even back then." "But I turned my back-" "None of that," Rarity said, holding up a hoof. "You're a different mare now Sunset. You've changed." "...Yeah. I have." "You don't have to apologize to me. But..." Rarity put a hoof to her chin. "...I think I do know somepony who would appreciate an apology." Sunset gulped - she knew who it was. "Lead the way..." They left Twilight's castle and boarded a flying chariot. They talked, laughed, and reminisced during the trip to the cloud city. The conversation relaxed Sunset considerably - she had feared rejection. But she knew Rarity was not the pony she had hurt the most. They went to the Cloudsdale amphitheater, going backstage. They were stopped for a second, but Rainbow Dash let them in when she saw Sunset. She led the two of them to the locker room. Surprise had sensed them coming long before they'd arrived - she was looking at them before they saw her. Her hair was electric, styled by the wind she flew in every day, and her uniform gave her an authoritative presence. Sunset walked over to her and tried to speak. Instead, she broke down. She hung her head, unable to say anything as tears fell. Surprise said nothing - she just lifted Sunset's face with her hoof and looked into her eyes. She smiled sadly. Sunset smiled back. "I... I'm so sorry." "I know." In that moment Sunset knew everything was going to be fine. In the doorway, Pinkie Pie appeared behind Rarity and Rainbow Dash. "Watcha dooin?" "Rebuilding bridges," Rarity said. Pinkie nodded, glancing at Surprise with a knowing expression. Surprise returned it with a wink. Pinkie grinned. "Good."
