After they explained everything to Princess Twilight, their vacation in Equestria went smoothly. They visited Rainbow up in cloudsdale, thanks to Twilight and her magic spell. They even got the best seats to a Wonderbolts show, with Rainbow performing her most amazing tricks. Sunset eventually took Twilight to where she grew up, she explained how her parents died when she was a filly and was taken in by Celestia. She didn't need to explain what happened afterwards.
When they came back from Equestria, Twilight and Sunset took Trixie up on her offer of a double date and finally got to meet Starlight. Sunset could already tell the connection between the both of them. It ended up becoming a really nice night many stories were told and lots of laughs we're shared. Twilight and Sunset decided to keep living their lives to the fullest as they went on trip after trip. Visiting the most amazing beaches, cities and checked out as many events as they could. But as time got on Twilight had trouble keeping up, until one day while visiting a famous museum she collapsed as her legs gave way. Sunset tried help Twilight but her legs would respond. "Come on you stupid legs, get up! Get up! GET UP!" Twilight screamed as she hit her legs while tears streamed down her face. But it was useless she couldn't feel a thing. Sunset tried to reassure Twilight that it was okay, but she couldn't say it, was breaking her heart to see Twilight like this.
But after the visit to local hospital where they Got Twilight a wheel chair her whole personality changed. She was full of life and wanted to continue on the their trip visiting as many places as possible. She was determined to not let it get her down, she remained happy and positive and Sunset didn't know how she was doing. It was like the whole world was coming crashing down but Twilight was unaware to it all. When Sunset asked her she gave the best reply she had ever heard. "Im still here and im not done fighting. This is surviving." This surprised Sunset and gave her the strength to keep on going to keep on facing the world.
But all good things had to come to an end as Twilight had become weaker and they eventually head back home where Twilight got taken in by the hospital. Sunset visited every day she never wanted to miss a day. Twilight's family came and visited as often as they could, so did the girls and so did Trixie. When ever Twilight was busy talking to someone else, Sunset took a moment to step outside to either have a breakdown or to have a smoke. She started smoking back when she was a bully but stopped when Princess Twilight showed her the error of her ways. Now day's it was unhealthy coping mechanisms that she took a lot of joy in. She had to take a quick mint and use body spray afterwards, if Twilight ever found out she would be so disappointed her and she couldn't handle letting Twilight down.
The days pass and which each day Twilight seemed to get worse and worse. It was one of the worst things imaginable slowly watching your partner fade away thing nothing you could do. Until one day, it was a normal day nothing seemed out of place. Sunset made her way up to Twilight's room to find she wasn't there. Sunset's heart began to pound and then the doctor came up to her "Im sorry, she went in her sleep. We tried to contact you, but we couldn't get through." She didn't hear a word past sleep. The Day had come, the worst day of her life. Sunset ran out of the hospital, tears streaming down her face, she kept running past the streets, all the way to the large empty park. She stopped a let out largest scream letting out all her pain and anger. "WHY!" She dropped to her knees and hit the ground, thump after thump until her hands turned red.
Before she knew it Sunset was standing in graveyard she watched as Twilight's coffin was lowered into the ground. She grabbed a handful of dirt and dropped it onto the casket. Once everyone had left Sunset and Spike stayed behind to be with Twilight a little bit longer. "I don't know what im going to do with out you." Spike curled up Sunset lap he hadn't said a word since he found out. "Life seems so pointless." Sunset brought Spike up to cuddle.
"Trixie thinks you should go home." Sunset didn't even look round instead she pulled out cigarette and lighter from her pocket.
She lit the cigarette before taking puff. "I thought you already went home."
"Trixie did, but she was worried so Trixie called you and got no reply." The magician replied sounding scared.
"I threw my phone away." Sunset said nonchalantly.
"Why don't you go home?" Trixie asked again.
"I cant everything smell like her." Sunset answered bluntly, she wish she could cry but she didn't have any left.
"What are you going to do?"
"Me and Spike are going to live in Equestria. At least Twilight will be alive, it wont be my Twilight, but at least she about. Spike will be my number one assistant a boy?" Spike looked up Sunset and nodded before giving her cheek a quick lick. "He will have a longer life span so we both wont lose each other and Princess Twilight offered me a job at her school when this time came."
"But im going to miss you." Trixie retorted.
Sunset placed Spike on the ground and walked over to her best friend. "I know but I need this new start, and you have Starlight, to look after." Sunset flicked her cigarette butt onto the ground before pulling Trixie into a hug. "Just remember to cherish Starlight, love everyday you have with her and don't take it all for granted." Sunset said before giving Trixie a kiss on the cheek and walking off with Spike following behind her.
That was the last time anyone saw Sunset. Trixie took what she said that day to heart and loved every minute of every second with Starlight. Eventually they got married and Trixie really missed her on that day. She hoped that maybe she would appear just for the wedding but there never was any sign of her. Trixie was living her life with Starlight and her mind randomly thought about Sunset, she only hoped she could find away to heal her Scars.
