Back in Equestria of Canterlot, Falling Star has take Sun and the others to the Canterlot Ballroom for a special event that will be happening very soon on the night before Hearth's Warming Eve, which is actually the night after tomorrow night. When they go to the Castle Ballroom, they can see a lot of winter like decorations in the ballroom.
Rarity says looking astonished, "Wow, those decorations look great."
"Kind of reminds me of the christmas decorations back home," Sun replies.
"Christmas huh, is there a Santa Hooves too!" Pinkie asks.
"Kind of, but where I'm from, he's called Santa Claus," Sun answers.
"Interesting," Pinkie replies.
Just as they are talking a stallion voice calls out, "Hey Falling Star,"
Falling Star turns around and says, "Hi Scarlet, how are you doing?"
The stallion walk over to them is a gold yellow color like Sun's fur color, a short shaggy mane and tail, and aqua blue eyes. His cutie mark is a black music table with a treble clef and a few scales on it. Sun becomes completely shocked to see the pony who is coming towards them.
Sun shockley says in her thought, "That… that's Scarlet Clef, why is he here?"
"I'm doing fine, I didn't know the Princess of Friendship and her friends would be here," Scarlet replies with a smile.
Scarlet then notice Sun in her disguise and asks, "Hello, who are you?"
"Um, hello, my name is Sun, it's nice to meet you," Sun says looking a bit nervous.
Falling Star, Twilight, and her friends are starting to notice this, but only Falling Star can guess why she is looking a bit scared and nervous to see him.
Falling Star comes over and says, "You have to forgive her, she can be a little shy sometimes."
Then she asks, "So how are you doing with the songs and the preparation for the party?"
"The preparations are going great, and my songs are coming along," Scarlet says.
He then show a sad sigh and says, "If… if only my sister could still be with us. She loves it when I sing."
"Your sister?" Twilight asks.
"Yeah. Her name was Sunset Shimmer. Her and I were always together since she was born," Scarlet explains.
Twilight and her friends are shocked to figure out this is Sunset or Sun older brother. From The look in Scarlet eyes, he must really miss her.
Then Rarity asks, "You don't say, can you tell us more about her, and what's your relationship with her?"
"Yeah. sunset used to lived with us until the incident at Canterlot Castle. When she was a little filly, she always want to learn magic since she saw Princess Celestia performing her own. She used to cry alot, drove me nuts. During that time, I wanted to be a songwriter, so I sang to her hopefully it will cheer her up. She looked up to me, which is kind of cool. Then before I know it Sunset was gone, and nopony knows what happened to her. My family sometime believe that she's still out there, and hopefully will come back to us."
Hearing the story start to make the girls want to cry, especially Sun. Her family have been worried about her and still wish she is alive, even though she really is. Sun can only wish she has the courage to tell them, but don't know how to go for it.
Applejack wipe a tear and says, "Gosh you all must be really sad for her. I know how it feel to lose ponies you care about, but they're always be with you in your heart."
"Thanks," Scarlet says feeling a bit better.
Falling Star comes over and says, "So Scarlet, is the rest of your family here?"
"Not all of us, my mom and sister, Rosemary are at the store getting some supplies, while my dad, my brother, Rocky, and little sister Sunshine are around the castle setting things up for the day after tomorrow," Scarlet answers.
"That sounds nice," Fluttershy says with a smile.
"Yeah, but my little sister and brother can be a bit wild sometimes," Scarlet says.
"How wild are we talking about?" Rainbow asks.
Just then, two ponies who are running towards them. They both not look old enough to be grown up, but almost are almost to be consider teenagers. The filly is light blue fur, with yellow mane and tail, and green eyes. Her cutie marks a sun with a ray of sunshine on a flower. The colt has light gray fur, dark brown hair, and green eyes. His cutie mark is a black rock, a green gem, and a purple crystal. The two seems like they are playing with some of the fake snow and snowballs.
Scarlet laughs and says, "Now you two, stop fooling around, we need those for the decorations."
"Your brothers' right kids," An older stallion's voice calls out.
The two young ponies stop and says, "Sorry dad."
The girls look to see an older stallion walking towards them. The stallion has pale red fur, yellow with a crimson streak on his mane and tail, and teal eyes. His cutie mark is a green vase with a phoenix on it, with red and yellow flames. This makes Sun want to shed tears seeing them. Most of her family are here.
"I… I don't believe it! I'm practically in the same room as most of my family, and my little brother and sister got their cutie mark. I… I miss out on a lot of things," Sun says in her thoughts trying so hard not to cry.
Scarlet then walks next to the older stallion and says, "Girls, this is my father Pheonix Dawn."
"Hello," the girls replies.
"Hello everypony, how is your holiday coming?" Phoenix asks with glee.
He then turns to Falling Star and says, "So Falling Star, how are you doing with your holiday."
"Not so much," Falling Star sadly replies.
Twilight comes over and says, "Falling Star has been having friendship trouble, but we're going to help her."
"How?" Scarlet asks.
We're going to show everypony that Falling Star has changed and then she and everypony will be happy," Rainbow says.
But Sun says, "But it's not simple. With how Star Shower, and some of the ponies have been behaving, some of the ponies have become distant and scared to get near her."
"She's right, even though I hate to admit it. At first, we were having trouble accepting her changed because of how she treated our daughter, but if I know my daughter Sunset, is that she never hold a grudge against anypony. Once we give her a chance, we can see how reformed she become. Since then she;s been helping us and everypony too," Phoenix Dawn explains.
Sun smiles and says, "And I think you all did the right thing."
"We sure did," Sunshine replies.
Then Rocky looks at her and say, "You know you look kind of like her, only the appearance is different."
"You could say that," Twilight replies.
With that, everyone are starting to talk about the holiday and about the ball that will be happening before Hearth's Warming Eve. As they are talking, Sun starts to feel very sad, and lonely. Sun decides to sneak away so she can be alone for a while. As she is close to the balcony covered by the snow, Falling Star notice Sun is leaving and decided to see if she's okay. When she comes outside, she can see Sun crying and covering her face with her hooves. Falling Star gives Sun a hug hoping to cheer her up, but she still crying.
Then Falling Star asks, "Sun, what's wrong?"
Trying her best to talk while shedding tears, Sun says, "I'm… I'm… I'm sorry."
"It's okay, you have nothing to apologize," Falling Star says with reassurance.
Sun is able to stop crying, but still have a few tears leaving her eyes. Falling Star can tell something's very wrong, and it's making Sun shed tears.
"Sun, is there something bothering you?" Falling Star asks.
Sun is able to answer, saying, "I guess… it's just… of all the things I left behind."
"You miss being with them, don't you?" Falling Star asks looking concerned.
"Yes. Ever since I've seen them, I've been feeling like I want to be a part of them, but I'm afraid of what they'll say or do when they see me. I… I wish I can actually spend some time with them, but I'm… I'm scared," Sun sadly explains.
Falling Star can understand Sun's pain and sadness. Seeing her parents is making her sad, and want to be apart of them, but scared about showing them her real face.
Falling Star then shows a sad smile and says, "I know you haven't seen your family in a long time, but I'm sure once we got the situation finished, we can go along with our holiday, and we can help you reintroduce you to your parents, and everypony in Equestria."
Sun smiles still shedding tears, saying, "Thank you."
After being cheered up, Falling Star and Sun head back inside to see how everypony is doing. Of course, Twilight and her friends notice Sun's been crying, and they both have to tell them. Of course, they can understand why Sun feels that way. Since it's getting late, they decide that they need to get to sleep for the night. They also meet Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, and they allow to let them stay in special suite of the castle for all of them to have a sleepover. They decide that the next day they will do whatever they can to help Falling Star and set things right for her and everypony, but it won't be easy.
Back in the world of CHS, Sun's friends, family, and the Crusaders are trying to get everything about the Anon-A-Miss ordeal fixed up. After explaining to Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna about what happened and what they need to do, they assist on it. The Crusaders are writing an apology letter to everyone and what really happen, The girls and the Dazzlings are getting supplies for the party for Sun when she comes back. After some time, the apology letter has been finished and Principal Celestia is able to send the letter to everyone in the school.
"Finally, we're finished." Apple Bloom says.
"I just hope this worked," Scootaloo adds.
Sweetie Belle turns to face the two principals, and asks looking concerned."You're not going to punish everyone harshly, are you?"
"Well, you girls are going to have six months detention for causing this shenanigans, but the ones who were involved in it will be doing some community service for the school for a week," Vice Principal Luna answers.
Then Principal Celestia says, "But we are appreciated that you three decided to put an end to this dilemma."
"Yeah. I just wish Sun will come back soon, so we can apologize to her," Scootaloo says sadly.
Sweetie Belle says, "I sure hope Sun will do find in Equestria."
"Yeah. It must not be easy for her to go back to the home you haven't been through for a very long time," Apple Bloom adds.
The two principals can understand why they three feel sad and worried, including Sun's friends and family. Sun has gone back to Equestria and has to face her family eventually, but never expected to be called away. Everyone are still hoping Sun will be alright and will be able to return home very soon.
