Sunset Shimmer the teen no more

The Solution

After using the portal for two days, I realised that classes would resume tomorrow. This means I need to find a way to return to school in my normal 23-year-old body instead of my former 17-year-old one.

"Sunset, are you sure you don't want to stay in our world? Since you are now officially an alicorn, I could even claim that you are royalty," my mother said in an attempt to persuade me to remain in Equestria.

With a determined voice, I said to my mother, "Sorry, but I like the life I built for myself in the human world, and I'm not going to let some anonymous person try to ruin it."

With a sympathetic voice, Mom said to me, "Okay, I won't try to convince you any more; you're old enough to make your own decisions."

"But now that you're an adult in the human world, the reality on the other side has already ended. How would you spend the life you currently have?" Twilight told me sympathetically

"You're probably right about that, but even so, I want to at least clear my name and find out who Anon-a-miss is," I said to her, fully aware that an adult was not permitted to attend high school.

"I have an idea if you would like to hear it that is," Mom asked, and even though I was going to say yes because I had no ideas, it felt good that she was giving me an option.

I told her, "Go ahead, I'm all ears."

My mother said to me, "Your life as a teenager in the real world may be gone, but who said you had to play that role in particular? What about going back, though not as Sunset Shimmer, but Under a fake name and disguise?" As I gave it some thought, it seemed like a good idea because the entire school would still be out to get me if I went by my real name.

"That would be ideal, but won't Applejack be able to detect when I'm lying?" I asked, aware that Applejack could typically detect lies right away.

"No, because they no longer hold the elements of harmony seeing as betrayal is not a key component of being friends, also you are the person who chooses who holds them you could lie to the element of honesty anyhow they betrayed you even when you ahd clear evidence unlike how twilight was technically betrayed by me and her friends she had no evidence meaning after we all apologised and explained ourselves what their counterparts did was make excuses and disregard your evidence and for that, I will never Forgive them!" I could have sworn sparks were flying off a section of her mane as she fiercely told me.

Since Twilight was the only other person who had ever been in the human world, I said to her, "Okay, if we are going to do this, I need a new name and id card along with where I went to college."

"Could I recommend a disguised name?" Celestia enquired

"Yes" I replied, speculating as to what kind of name she had thought of.

She said to me, "Sunny skies sounds like a good name."

"Isn't that the disguise you use in this world?" I inquired, fully aware that it was a tactic adopted by my mother when she went out in public.

"Yes however if there is no one else in your world who has magic the Celestia there most likely wasn't able to disguise herself as any of my personal's," my mother replied.

"It was possible seeing as nightmare moon couldn't have happened there and the only similar thing is Halloween," I said.

I loved what Mom said and was now really irritated that I couldn't have my hair colour there. That's when I realised about the colour skin I would need. "Well, have fun having pink hair with cyan highlights for while then," Mom remarked, trying not to laugh.

"Mom what colour would my skin have to be," I inquired in the hopes that it wouldn't be too similar to my mother's hue. While I don't mind being white, I can't bear the idea of looking like a young Celestia with a cyan stripe running through my hair.

"Well I had one which was White and the other I used had a darker shade of your current coat," Mom gently said.

I told my mother, not letting her know that it was because I didn't want to seem like Celestia from the human world, "I'm going to go with the darker colour of my coat seeing as I would look too similar to her when she was younger."

With her horn glowing and her magic encircling me, Mom said, "Okay, I'll do the spell that hopefully lasts as long as I don't take it off myself."

2 minutes later

"Okay, everything is done. You can open your eyes now, Sunset, or should I call you Sunny now," my mother asked as I opened my eyes and saw her smiling smugly at me.

I inquired, eager to see what I looked like in my disguise, "Where's a mirror?"

Mom led the way to the next room and remarked, "Okay, there's one in the room next to this one."

Since everyone at the school wants my head and can't open their eyes to realise that it's not me behind Anonymous, I had to make sacrifices in order to have any kind of life in the human world. Once we were inside, I took a good look at myself and, to be honest, I looked good with these colours, but I still missed my original colour.-a-miss

"Sunset i have your new documents!" Twilight came into the room, shouted, and gave them to me.

"Thanks, twi," I murmured, letting her know that I was pleased she had obtained the paperwork.

Mom said to me as she teleported away, "I'm sorry, but I have been away from my royal duties for long enough. I must go and Sunset be safe and please remember you are not alone."

4 minutes later in the mirror room

"Well, here we are. Are you prepared to begin a new life?" Twilight questioned me with assurance.

She nodded, and I responded, "I'm more than ready. I'll contact you when I get back to my flat." That was the third time I started a new life as I looked in the mirror.
