It was finally the day of the big fall festival. And yet, Flash Sentry was no where to be seen. But, Twilight had faith that he would turn up.
"Seriously, what makes you so sure Flash will show up?" Sunset asked.
"He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would miss something like this." Twilight said.
Sunset opened her mouth to argue, but the argument died on her lips. "...Given what we've heard about him the past couple of days, that's actually a really good point." Sunset said. "Though if I didn't know any better, I'd say your falling for him a little~" She teased.
Twilight said nothing to that, instead waiting for the results to get announced. All while looking around for any sign of Sunburst. "What I'm more concerned about is that we've not seen hide nor hair of Sunburst since we got here." Twilight said.
"Okay yeah, that is more concerning." Sunset said.
"Ahem, is this thing on? Testing, testing, testing..." A voice said over the speakers.
"Sunburst." Sunset said, recognizing the voice instantly.
"Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer...I demand that the two of you come outside to where the archway is. That is, if you value someone I know you'd rather not get hurt." Sunburst said over the speakers.
"Don't listen to him! It's a--" Flash tried to say over the speaker but was muffled.
"Shut up you." Sunburst said.
"Flash!" Twilight said.
"Now then, if either of you value him, bring that crown outside in thirty minutes. Otherwise, I can't promise he'll remain unharmed." Sunburst said.
Sunburst...what happened to you? Sunset thought to herself and Twilight was given the crown and Sunset followed after her.
The two sun students found Sunburst in front of the archway with a tied up Flash Sentry.
"Freaking coward. Snuck up behind me and did this." Flash Sentry said.
"I said be quiet." Sunburst said.
"Sunbust...why are you doing this?" Sunset asked.
"To get revenge on you, sis." Sunburst said.
"Revenge? Revenge for what?" Sunset asked.
"Oh I don't know; how about absolutely everything? You've always been mom's favorite, you've always been treated better then me, and you were the only one of the two of us who even became the student of the Princess." Sunburst said.
"You're just cherry-picking things." Sunset said. "Look, how about you just stop this whole revenge plot right here and now, and just come back home?" She asked.
"How about you suck my dick?" Sunburst asked.
"Okay, now that's just rude." Sunset said. "What happened to my brother who just wanted to be one of the greatest sorcerers of Equestria?" She asked.
"He learnt what reality is like. And it is not only unforgiving, it's also a harsh world. Only the strong survive. And once I've succeeded with my plan, you'll be amongst the weak once I've taken over Equestria." Sunburst said.
"You won't get away with such a thing." Twilight said.
"You're in no position to negotiate anything. Now hand over that crown. That is, unless you want to be held responsible for this boy getting hurt." Sunburst said.
"Don't do it Twilight; he'll just end up--" Flash Sentry tried to say.
"I SAID SHUT UP!" Sunburst shouted, and raised his hand to slap him.
"You harm him, and you won't be getting this crown period. I'll smash it right here and now if you even think about harming him." Twilight said.
Sunburst growled, but dropped his hand. "You should be lucky, Golden Boy; otherwise I'd slap you so hard right now." He said.
This...this isn't my brother anymore. Sunset thought to herself. He's not the brother I remember anymore. He's just full of hate and darkness.
"Now hand over that crown, Twilight Sparkle, and I'll return Flash Sentry to you unharmed. You have my promise." Sunburst said.
Flash Sentry looked at Twilight, almost pleading her with his eyes not to do it.
Thankfully, she didn't have to, Sunset suddenly tackled Sunburst to the ground. "What the--" Sunburst was caught off guard by this.
"Can't believe this is the kind of person you've become Sunburst. You're not the same brother I grew up with. The kind of person you've become...is someone even mom wouldn't approve of." Sunset said.
"Don't you dare bring her up." Sunburst said.
"I have to. Because when you disappeared, she started starving herself to death Sunburst. She was that guilt ridden. If I hadn't found her, then Celestia knows what would've happened to her. Do you have any idea what you did to her disappearing out of the blue like you did?" Sunset asked.
"Why should I care about her any more? I am my own person now." Sunburst said.
"Yes Sunburst. You are your own person. Your certainly not mom's son anymore. And you're certainly not Glim Glam's friend anymore either." Sunset said.
"What?" Sunburst suddenly froze.
"Yeah. She found me. And she really wanted to see you again. Because she still believes you're her best friend. But I don't see that kind of person in you anymore. I just see a boy whose upset because things weren't working out for him like he had hoped." Sunset said.
"You...don't get to talk about Glim Glam." Sunburst said.
"Well you certainly don't deserve to call her that with the way you've changed like this. Do you really think she'll want to be your friend anymore if she sees you act like this? ARE YOU EVEN BUCKING AWARE OF THE WAY YOUR ACTING?!" Sunset shouted.
"I-I..." Sunburst was just completely thrown off by this. But then he shook his head. "You know what? It doesn't matter. I'll get what I want all the same: Revenge on you." Sunburst said.
"...So that's how you really feel about me now, huh? This is how you treat your only other family member." Sunset said.
"It's no different then the way you've treated me." Sunburst said.
"Well I've changed in a good way. I've learnt about a lot of things; friendship most of all; and you can never take over that." Sunset said.
Suddenly Twilight, Sunset, and the human five began to glow as did Flash, before suddenly, a bright light suddenly hit Sunburst, and caused a creator to form.
"Ugh.." Sunburst said, hurting.
"I hope this'll be a lesson to you. Until you change back to the person you used to be, you shall remain here. That's an order from me." Twilight said.
"So...your really going to go huh?" Flash Sentry asked.
"We can't stay." Twilight said.
"So, where's the archway lead? Is it some sort of portal to another world?" H Rainbow Dash asked.
"...Yes. Yes it is." Twilight said. "A world me and Sunset need to return to." She added.
"Hey, maybe someday, you should come back and visit sometime. You know, when the fate of the world isn't at stake." H Pinkie Pie said.
Twilight chuckled. "We'll certainly try, but we aren't making any promises." Twilight said. "Well, see you." She said and entered the portal with Sunset.
When the two came back into the Pony Equestria, the two were back to normal. "Phew. Admittedly, I missed having these wings." Twilight said. "After that, getting used to these will be a piece of cake." She added.
"You definatly missed a lot, I'll say that much." Spike said. "I found the blank book Cole mentioned, and Rainbow Dash definately made the Shadowbolt Squad." He added.
"So did Thuderlane." Rainbow Dash said.
"So Spike, what do you thi--" Sunset was interrupted when the portal rippled again.
"I thought I told Sunburst to--" Twilight was saying when an orange pegasus suddenly came through the portal.
"What the--FLASH?!" Sunset exclaimed.
"So...this is the other world huh?" Flash Sentry asked.
"Did-did he just follow my sister through that portal here?" Shining Armor asked.
"That's exactly what happened. And I can hardly believe it myself." Sunset said. "I've also learned a lesson." She added.
"Really? What's that?" Shining Armor asked, before he noticed Sunset forking over some bits to Pinkie Pie alongside Spike.
"Don't bet against Pinkie Pie." Sunset said.
"So, does any one know why I'm suddenly a horse creature?" Flash Asked.
"Why is he talking like that?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Oh boy. This is going to take a while to explain." Twilight said, face hooving.
Twilight then began to explain everything to every pony in that room. Well, and every dragon. Though I did eventually find a use for that book I found. The mysterious writer said, soon revealed to be an adult Spike.
Suddenly, an adult version of Sweetie Belle practically bolted through the door. "SPIKE, WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM!" F Sweetie Belle said.
"What the...you mean the baby's coming now?!" F Spike exclaimed.
"Yes she is." F Sweetie Belle said. "Quick, let's head to the hospital!" She added.
"Okay okay okay; I'm on it!" F Spike said, while the camera showed a picture of him and Sweetie Belle's past selves in a group photo with every pony including Flash Sentry in front of the mirror to the human world.
