Chapter 4 Sunset's Visit

Princess Celestia went back to her office, preparing the lessons that she decided to teach Twilight.

She's filled with hope and excitement, and from the bottom of her heart, she thinks this is one of the best days in her life.

Halfway through her preparation, she heard a door knock and a voice call out from the other side of the door.

"Princess! Are you in there? I had something that I wanted to ask you. Can I come in?"

Turns out it was Sunset's Shimmer calling her, and Celestia responded to her, "Of course, please come on in Sunset, it's been a long time since last time you visited me, and I've been missing you for quite a while. Anyway, what's on your mind?"

Ever since the mirror event, Sunset has been acting like a stranger toward her, and she feels sad about that, but right now, it doesn't matter cause she comes to talk to her, which means this is her chance to repair their relationship.

"That spell from yesterday, what the hay was that? I've never seen anything like it, and I won't accept the answer, "I'm not ready to learn about it!" Princess, I haven't forgiven you about the mirror thing, thus give me answers or goodbye!" Sunset asking with some rude tone.

"Sunset, I don't know what that spell was either, but I can tell you what I do know." Celestia feels sorrow that Sunset still hasn't forgiven her action; however, she kept her sadness and told Sunset everything that happened yesterday night.

"That's what happened. Oh! By the way, Twilight asked me if she can be my student or not, and I agreed, so why don't you visit her later? Cause you two are going to become classmates." Celestia has a feeling that Twilight can change Sunset to good. She doesn't know why but she has the feeling it will happen.

'A filly even more powerful than you? Bullhay! But if I can use that filly's power wisely *evil smirk* this my chance and the princess even saying I can visit her I can't waste this opportunity.' Sunset thought about a plan to manipulate Twilight, but unfortunately, it won't work.

"Well, that's a wonderful idea, princess! I'll visit her right now." Sunset said with a fake grin and left the room.

Celestia knows what Sunset is thinking, but she decides not to stop her.
'If it's Twilight, I believe she can do what I can't do and change Sunset's mind.'

*Sometimes later, hospital Room 206*

"So, this is that filly's room. *deep breath* You got this!" Sunset says, then opens the door.

Once she is inside the room, the filly turns toward her and speaks.

"Sunset Shimmer? Well, it's good to see you, and frankly, I didn't expect you to come."

Sunset stunned a little bit, and she thought to herself, 'How did she know who I am? Did Celestia tell her? Or something else is going on? This filly is definitely more than meets the eye! I gotta be careful!'

"How do you know who I am? Did Celestia tell you?" Sunset asked.

And the filly replies with, "Tia didn't tell me anything; it's just my sixth sense, that's all."

'Six sense? The hell that six senses tell you that! She is lying! I can tell, but why do I get a feeling of believing what she said?' Sunset is confused; she feels her mind is a total mess which feels like her very core is against some outside force that is changing her, but at the same time, it feels so good that she almost doesn't want to fight back.

Sunset shook her head, clearing her mind and asking another question, "Do you like Celestia? How do you feel about her? Do you hate her?"

"Nah, I won't say I hate her, but not to the point of liking her either. I would say neutral, and if you asked me, I, to be honest, will say I like her sister more than her." The filly responds with a smile.

'Her sister? Since when did Celestia have a sister? Wait! Why do I even consider she's telling the truth, but her tone makes me feel she's not lying, and she looks kind of cute...! Wait! What do I even think? Stay focused; Sunset, you need to remember what's your goal here.'

"Why don't you come in and sit rather than just standing in front of the door?" The filly asked her, and she replied, "That's great!" Sunset is using a new attitude that she never used before. She doesn't know why, but she likes it!

Sunset comes inside the room sitting down, and she can't look away from the filly's cute smile. 

"What do you mean by her sister? I never knew Celestia had a sister. Also, I don't think I got your name, could you tell me?" As Sunset asks, some of the darkness within her breaks, and she has never been this bright before.

"My name is Twilight Sparkle, and you can call me Twi, Twilight, or whatever you want and now, for your other question, Tia's sis. Her name is Luna, also known as Nightmare Moon. Have you ever heard of her?" Twilight explains.

"No...? Also, why did you think I would believe what you said? We just met for a few minutes, and you told me all of this then accepted me to trust you?" Sunset asked. In fact, deep in her heart, she already accepts what Twilight says is the truth, but she wants to act tough in front of her, so that's why she is asking her.

"You mean, you don't believe me?" Twilight says and unintentionally doing sad puppy eyes, which made Sunset's heart jumping up and down fast.

"Hey! That's cheating! Using a puppy eye like that!" Sunset complains.

"What puppy eye are you talking about?" Twilight asked in confusion with her head bent slightly right.
(And Sunset die from cuteness overload The End!)(JK)

"You... uh, never mind. *sigh* Tell me more about Celestia's sister." 'Is she really that dumb? But at the same time, I've never felt this joyful before.' Despite being a little frustrated, Sunset is still enjoying her status.

"She is the princess of the night, and she wanders the dream realm. About one thousand years ago, she was jealous of Tia, due to that turning herself into Nightmare Moon, and Celestia had no choice but to banish her to the moon..."

Twilight keeps on saying everything she knows about Luna; obviously, she didn't mention anything about the show or the future, while Sunset stays silent, appreciating the marvelous story that Twilight is telling.

'Is it real or fake?' Sunset doesn't care! She's just enjoying the story very much.

"And I think that's all of the things I know about Luna. Hey, Sunset, do you want to be my friend?" Twilight said.

"Friend...?" Sunset felt something within her triggered by this word.

"Yes! Friend! Do you not want to be my friend?" Twilight says with a sad tone.

"No! I would love to be your friend." Sunset speaks nervously.

"Yeah!" Twilight cheer with a cute face.

'Oh my! She's so cute! I feel like I forget something important. Nah, just let it go then.' Sunset thinks.

"I would like to stay chatting, but I have to do something else," Sunset said with sorrow in her eyes.

"It's ok! Don't worry about it!" Twilight responds with a smile.

With that, Sunset leaves the room.
