Why can't I just…. Let go..” sunset sobbed into celestia’s wing. Celestia looked at her as any concerned mother would but she remembered the day sunset’s parents were killed by a dragon the accident scarred sunset’s life and made her an orphan. “Sunset in our world and this one there are ponies and humans that care deeply for others that those individuals want to save people from harm and of your parents they would want you to grow up have children of your own, and live the life that they would have let you have but couldn’t because of them being taken so soon. And for you letting go I do not know but I'm certain you are referring to letting go of your life or letting go of your past?” “B-both.” sunset said sadly still sobbing with in the wings Princess Celestia tighten her wings on sunset holding her close “Do not think of that sunset you have so much to live for think of the people who care about you think of fluttershy think of twilight think about….me.” Princess Celestia said sunset looked up open her mentor and saw the tears forming sunset knew those eyes loving and motherly and sad all at once “I should have been there more for you when you needed help with friendship i should have listened to you I could have been a mother to you but instead i treated you like any other student even when you lost the family you once had I should have stepped up but i didn’t but sunset you are like a daughter to me i would take back the things I said and done but we can't change the past but we can change the future if you want we can stay in this form or we could go back and live once more it’s your choice.” Sunset debated and thought it through then she looked up at Princess Celestia with hope and determination. “I think we should go back i want to live.” Sunset then thought this "for mom and dad."
