Chapter 38- To Be Adored

"Is this safe? I don't want you to be in trouble again, Sunset?" Tempest asked her colleague.

"Don't worry. This time, a totally discussed it with Twilight, and she was fine with it," Sunset waved a hoof, "So how are you do as a pony?"

"It feels really weird?" Juniper said as she checked her new form out.

"Wallflower was like that when she went into her form," Starlight said, "It's great that we managed to get you onto our show in the first place."

"I was more than happy to come onto the show. Sunset talked about it to me, and since you're also in the show and part of my events, I think it was best to discuss it with old and new friends at the same," Juniper smiled at Starlight. Starlight blushed a little, but smiled back nonetheless.

"So how did you and Sunset meet?" Trixie asked with interest.

"It was at the film studio where the directer invited Sunset and the girls for saving Camp Everfree. I was his niece and assistant on set. However, I wanted to do more than pass the next coffee break and help with the props. I wanted to be part of the latest Daring Do films, to be Daring Do herself, but the actor was one demanding person. Out of my jealousy I stole the props because of that Chestnut actor who was demanding so much. I never knew who ate all those praline crunch-bars which are the only snacks I like as well," Juniper told her story.

"I wonder who could have eaten them," Sunset snorted, causing Juniper to turn to her in confusion. Sunset just shrugged.

"As a reward for not just saving Camp Everfree, but also the whole set, the girls were given a chance to have background parts for the film," Juniper continued. Sunset whispered to Starlight.

"Don't tell Rainbow Dash she's in a film in your world about Daring Do," Sunset pleaded. Starlight nodded.

"We'll never hear the end of it. She's a big fan already," Starlight agreed.

"What did your uncle do as punishment?" Tempest urged her on.

"He forgave, but I was never welcomed onto the set again for the long time. Out of the set with little work, I found one at the local cinema at the mall. This was where the girls' movie was premiering as well. I was tired and lonely, wanting to have my spot in the limelight. I wanted to be adored. That was when I cam across this mirror that was enchanted with Equestrian Magic," Junpier paused to let Starlight and Sunset tell their part of the story.

"I ran out of pages for my diary so Twilight invited me to come to Equestria to get a new one," Sunset started off.

"Unfortunately, Twilight and her friends were on a friendship mission, leaving me in her castle to deliver the new diary for Sunset. I connected instantly really, and I asked her if I can come to her world too," Starlight clapped her hooves in happiness.

"Meanwhile, I grew more entranced with the mirror, showing me my true desires and wants. It even had the power of banish things inside the mirror itself. I used that on her friends whilst she was out, and then eventually on Sunset too. The magic overtook me and-" Juniper was about to continue, but Sunset beat her to it.

"Turned you into a she-demon I presume?"

Juniper blinked owlishly and asked, "How did you know that?"

"Just a hunch," Sunset winked. Starlight chuckled.

"Starlight helped me realise where I was wrong. Adoration can only get you so far, and fame is nothing unless you have real friends who treat you like someone special from the very start. I was lonely, craving for something more, and it turns out I was missing having friends who will always lift me higher, more than any limelight that could ever shine down on me. With the mirror almost breaking, I freed Sunset and her friends and we forgave each other, both for that moment and for the filmset incident," Juniper said with a smile.

"We all enjoyed the film together, friends included," Sunset giggled.

"What a journey you had," Trixie whistled, "Wish I was in a film. I could just see it now. The Great and Powerful Trixie, prepared to be amazed on the silver screen!"

"Good luck with that one," Starlight laughed.

"That's the end of today's show creatures," Sunset concluded, "We will be back soon."
