Sunset now knew that if she were to attend this coronation event, her schedule suddenly became a lot more tighter, and there would be more planning well in advance. Although graduation was a big deal for Sunset herself, Twilight Sparkle's coronation was certainly another event she couldn't miss either. Both of these events would be significant, once in a lifetime opportunities, but Sunset felt the need to attend both, especially given how close her and Princess Twilight had become as friends over the years. Aside from the rest of the Rainbooms, she felt like the closest Sunset had to a mother figure aside from Celestia.
Thinking about it, however, she realized that she never really knew her mother at all. Sunset had only been briefly raised by her father, then went off to Magic School at an incredibly young age. She never had any memories of being with her actual mother, or really understood why her mother was never around when she was a filly.
As Sunset walked around town, she eventually reached Sweet Apple Acres. Going toward the front of Applejack's house, she saw that the garage door was open. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and this world's Twilight were all there, chatting with one another, but like before, Pinkie wasn't with them at all. Applejack took notice of Sunset approaching, and walked over to welcome her inside.
"Howdy do, Sunset?" Applejack greeted as she put her hand on her shoulder. "Ya see, I told ya I wouldn't let you down on our lil' meet up location this time 'round!"
"Hey girls..." Sunset began. "Have any of you seen Pinkie? I noticed she wasn't with you all during lunch, but I couldn't find her anywhere after school, not even at Mrs. Cake's cafe. And it doesn't seem like Pinkie to just disappear without letting any of us know where she's gone."
"Heh, I see Sunset already misses her Postcrush festival buddy!" Rainbow Dash teased. "But don't worry, I did see her this afternoon, and she was her usual self. I'm sure something just came up."
"I second that there.", Agreed Applejack. "We were actually just talkin' bout you, Sugarcube. We couldn't help but notice that ya did act a bit strange back during lunchtime when we were discussing our future career paths after graduation. Is something wrong, Sunset?"
Sunset, knowing that her time in the human world has finally led up to this moment, finally becomes open. "Yes, err, it may have been a while since we've really touched upon it, but if you remember, I'm not exactly like you girls." She began explaining herself. "I'm more or less an alien in a human body, who's actually a pony. I know that we all originally had plans to hang together before our graduation ceremony, but I'm wondering if you girls were cool with me going back to Equestria for a bit? Princess Twilight is also a good friend of mine, and she's having a once in a lifetime opportunity for me to see her become the ruler of Equestria. Graduation is next week, and this should only take a couple of days, at best."
After explaining herself, Sunset awaits anxiously to see whether or not her friends would be supportive of her decision. She would already know they'd all understand what she's even talking about, given they have all entered Equestria back during the Spring Break shipwreck.
