“Hi, I am sunset shimmer,“ sunset said as she stood in an empty white background. She is holding a remote and using it to draw a skull next to her. On it were the words reaper. ”And you watching the reaper channel.”
….
The door to sunset house opened, and immediately coming inside were sunset shimmer, Grim, who was carrying a big box, and a grown woman who looked like a grown-up sunset. The woman was around her thirties and wore a light pink shirt blue pants, and black shoes. She has long hair that reaches her neck and is tied into a bun. Her hair also had a similar color to sunset and what more She wore lipstick.
“Thanks for helping us grim,” Sunset said.
“Yes, it was kind of you to volunteer to carry all the things we need to take a family photo.”The woman said.
“Volunteer,” Grim said, annoyed. ”You two force me into it.” (Insert laugh track.)
“Oh, come on, don’t be a grouched grim,” the woman said. "Where is your happy place?”
“In the grave, like how I wish you two were.” Grim said( inset laugh track). The door suddenly opened, and in came a grown man who was in his thirties. He had short red hair and wore a white dress shirt and black tie, brown jeans, and black shoes.
“Honey, I am home,” the man said( insert audience cheering).
“Dear you, home,” the woman said, smiling.
“How are the two lights of my life?” The man said as he went and kiss sunset and the woman on the cheek.
"We've been doing fine, dad,” Sunset said. ”Me and mom, in fact, just got home after buying all the things we needed for our family picture.”
"Hey, where are your twin sister, Eclipse shimmer, and your little sister, Sunshine?” The man asked.
"I have been here the entire time.” A monotone voice was heard, causing everyone in the room to jump. Everyone turned and saw a girl who resembled sunset. The only difference is that she wore all black and have purple lipstick, and her hair is all black with a bit of purple highlights. She has an expressionless look on her face.
“Don’t do that; you almost gave me a heart attack.” Grim said. ”And I am the grim reaper.” (Insert laugh track.)
"Whatever,“ Eclipse Shimmer said.
"Yeah, dad, home.” A tiny voice said, and immediately a small figure ran towards the man and hugged him. The figure was a small girl around ten who resembled sunset . She wore a light blue shirt, dark blue pants, and brown slippers. Like sunset her hair was also red and yellow. This person is none other than Sunshine.
The door suddenly opened again, and in came Sunny, who was wearing a baseball hat.
"Oh, look sunny home.” Sunshine said.
“How was the game?"the woman asks.
“We lost that how it was, Miss Bright Light,” Sunny said.
“Hey, don’t let it get to you. We can’t win them all.” The man said trying to cheer up Sunny.
“We didn’t win any at all, Mr. Bright Burn." Sunny said. (insert laugh track)
“Anyhow, we have a family photo to do,” Sunset said. ”So get ready before the photographer gets here.”
“Oh, joy.” Sunny said in a monotone voice before flying above the stairs and into her room.
Suddenly, Ed, Eddy, and Double D walk into the house.
“For the last time, no.” Double D said.
“What's going on here?" Bright burn, ask.
“Eddy wants to charge people to see Ed eat 100 devil eggs in 2 minutes,” Double D said. “And I keep saying no since I don’t believe it is good for Ed's stomach.”
“You do realize that this is the same person who devours his bed, right?” Bright burn deadpan. (insert laugh track)
“So, what are you guys doing?” Double D ask.
"Oh, they're just doing another family photo.” Grim said still holding the box. “And can someone please give me a hand here?”
“Sure,” Ed said as he grabbed Double D hand and pulled it to him. (Insert laugh track.)
“ Hahah” Double d said deadpan. “This joke is old as my Mesozoic fossil collection, Ed“ (insert laugh track).
“Whoops, there it goes..." Ed said "Yep. My brain stopped.”
“Did it even start at all?” Grim asks. (Insert laugh track.).
“Anyhow, little Sunny here wants this photo to be taken properly.” Bright light said.
“Why?” Eddy asks.
“It’s because every time we try to take a picture, some stupid shenanigans always happen." Sunset said as she opened her wallet, showing pictures of their past attempts. Which range from them being chased by a swarm of bees to them standing in the field during a rainstorm and finally being chased by a yeti despite the fact that they were on a beach. ”For once, I want just a regular family photo.”
“Hey, I remember Mr. Yeti,” Sunshine said. ”He was nice.”
“Yeah, surprising. He was nice once you got to know him.” Bright burn said. ( Insert laugh track.).
“Regardless, everything has to be perfect.” Sunset said. ”So no shenanigans.”
“By the way, dear, did you get your office ready for the photo?” Bright light said.
“Of course I did.” Bright Burn said it in a confident voice. ”Now, on an unrelated note, I will need to take Double D and Eddy to my office. Come on, boys.” He grabs Double D and Eddy and drags them with him. (insert laugh track)
The door opened again, and in came the dazzling. (Insert crowd cheering sound.).
“Well, what's going on here?” Adagio said.
"We're just getting ready for a family photo.” Sunset said. ”Do you want to help?”
“No, thank you. I would rather be banished to another world.” Adagio said.
“But we are already banished to another world,“ Sonata said. (insert laugh track)
“Hi Ed,” Sonata said.
“Hi,“ Ed said.
“Hey Ed, did you read the newest article of conspiracy monthly?” Sonata said as she pulled out the magazine. ”It said here there is a spy running around breaking into people's houses.”
“Sonata, we told you not to read that stuff,“ Aria said. ”Those things are garbage.”
“I quite agree,” Grim said as he put the box on the table. ”I mean, one of those articles said the city of Atlantis is gone because aliens shrunk it and put it in a bottle. What a bunch of rubbish! Everyone knows Atlantis is lost because a green-haired fairy sink it.” (Insert laugh track.).
“Hey, does anyone feel like something is wrong?” Aria ask.
"What do you mean?” Adagio ask.
“Just that something feels off.” Aria ask. ”Like something is wrong.”
“No, everything feels right to me.” Sunset said.
….
The opening sequence of a classic sitcom show started, which was accompanied by theme music.
The first scene was Eddy at a stand, trying to scam people out of their money. Letters that spell his name were near him. The next scene was of Double D writing a math equation on a blackboard. Letters that spell his name were above him. The next scene was of Ed reading a comic book, which he pulled down to show his face, with the word that spelled his name appearing next to him. The next scene was of sunny playing a video game. Letters that spell her name appear next to her. Next was of eclipse shimmer playing with her pet rock rocky with the words that spell her name above her. Next was Sunshine playing with her dolls in her room with the words that spell her name above her. Next was of bright burn and bright light cooking in the kitchen. Their names appear above them as their cooks. The next scene showed Aria and Adagio watching TV. Their names appear above them. The next scene was Sonata eating a taco while being surrounded by more tacos. Her name appears above her as she eats. The next scene was of a portal suddenly opening and grim coming through it. He waves at the camera, and his name appears above him. The next scene was sunset writing in her old journal, with her name appearing above her. The final scene was of everyone from the Ed’s: the dazzling, grim, sunset, bright light,bright burn,eclipse shimmer, sunshine and sunny standing in front of sunset home. Above them were the words the daily life of the shimmer family.
….
"The daily life of the shimmer family! was taped in front of a live studio audience, “ a narrator said.
….
"Ok, now I feel like something is wrong.” Grim said.
“You are overreacting.” Sunset said. ”Nothing is wrong. Anyway, me and mom are going upstairs to get sunshine and eclipse dress for the photo, and while we are gone, please keep an eye on the photographer.”
“Let go, dear.” Bright light said as she and sunset escorted her two children upstairs.
“Yeah, makeup time.” Sunshine cheer.
"Whatever,"eclipse said. Both girls follow their sister and mother upstairs.
“I think I should check on Bright Burn and the rest in his office,” Grim said as he left for Bright Burn office.
"I will be somewhere, but here.” Adagio said.
“Wait for me,” Aria said as she followed adagio, leaving just Sonata and Ed.
“So what now?” Sonata ask. However, before Ed could answer the doorbell ring, they both went and opened the door to reveal a man holding a camera standing outside.
“Greetings,” the man says in a French accent. ”I am Ronald, the third. Photographer and artist extraordinaire. I'm an observer of life. I travel the globe, uncovering mankind’s deepest secrets.
“This guy is definitely a spy.” Sonata whispers to Ed.
“Sorry,” Ronald said, confused.
“Oh, you will be... I mean, we are happy to have you here,“ Sonata said. ”Here, let us show you the way.”
Both Sonata and Ed lead him to a door that leads to the basement.
“No, no, no, no, no. It's much too dark in...." Ronald'voice was heard. However what he was about to say next was interrupted by sonata.
“Now Ed!“ Sonata screamed as both attacked Ronald, and what sounded like Ed and Sonata beating him up was heard. (Insert laugh track.)
“Hey, stop.” Ronald said. ”You won’t get your discount if you keep doing this. (Insert laugh track.)
Meanwhile, in the dining room, both Adagio and Aria were eating a sandwich they had made.
"It sounds like Sonata and Ed are beating up the photographer.” Aria said as she took a bite from her sandwich. ”Should we do something?”
“Do you even care?” Adagio asks.
“No,” Aria said.
“Then that is your answer “ Adagio said. (Insert laugh track.)
The scene changes to what looks like sonata dancing in a blue background before running off screen. Afterward, the scene changed to bright burn office.
“So how bad of a shape is your office?“ Eddy said as the three walked in and immediately saw how awful it was. The office walls had holes in them along with cracks.
"Wow, that's bad," Eddy said.
“Mr. Bright Burn, didn’t Bright Light tell you to fix it months ago?" Double D ask.
“Well yeah, but the first repairman wanted too much to fix it. And the more I waited, the worse it got. And the higher the price got, the-“
“Yeah, we get it.” Eddy said.
“That's why I need you to help me fix this,” Bright Burn said.
“How much will you pay us?” Eddy asks.
“How about tickets to the jawbreaker factory?” Bright Burn said pulling tickets out of his pockets.
"Deal, "Eddy said as he took the tickets and put them in his pocket. (Insert laugh track).
“Now get cracking.” Bright Burn said as he gave Double D and Eddy a hammer. ”Time is money, and I later spend time, then money.” (Insert laugh track.).
“Now let's get it done before anyone gets here.” Bright Burn said, and immediately after, he said that Grim entered the office.
“Someone got here.” Eddy said. (Insert laugh track.).
“I thought you said you had your office ready.” Grim said.
“I will,” Bright Burn said. "I just need to do some work.” As soon as he said that, a piece of the celling fell to the ground. "Ok, a lot of work” (insert laugh track).
“Once bright light sees this, you are a dead man,” Grim said, laughing.
“She will never know,” Bright Burn said, and immediately after he said that sunset ,bright light, eclipse and sunshine entered the room.
“ she know,“ Eddy said (insert laugh track).
“Dad, I thought you said you got the office ready,“ Sunset said, and immediately after she said that Sunny arrived in the room.
“Hey, have anyone seen my...” She trailed off when she saw the state of the office. ”Never mind it looks like you guys already have you own problem.”(insert laugh track).
“What are we going to do?” Sunset said in a panicky voice. ”The photographer is coming here any minute, and we don’t have a place to take our photo.”
“Why don’t we take our picture somewhere else?” Sunny said.
“ No can do” Sunset said. ”This office has the best light to capture the glint of the buttons on the outfits.”
“Oh, right! Rebuilding an entire room is much easier than recapturing button glint. What was I thinkiiiiing? “ Sunny said (insert laugh track.).
“This is serious,“ Sunset said, nearly shouting in anger. “The photographer will be here any minute, and we don’t have a place to take our photo.”
“Chill out sunset” Sunny said. ”How about I make you my special coco that always calms you down? Do you like that?”
"Sure,"Sunset said as she followed Sunny out of the room.
“I will stay here to help you guys.” Bright light said before turning her attention to the two children. ”And while I do that, you two go get dressed.”
"Ok, mom,"Sunshine said as she left the room with Eclipse following her.
“Whatever,“ Eclipse said as she left the room.
“Anyhow grim, do you have a spell to clean this mess?” Eddy ask.
“I am the grim reaper, not a maid.” Grim complaint.
“Just get your book out.” Eddy said. Grim grunted before pulling out a large book that somehow managed to fit in his pocket. He flipped through a few pages before stopping.
"Hey, something is wrong,“ Grim said.
“What is it?“ Double D ask.
“My book is blank." Grim said as he showed everyone the book. He flips through the pages to show that it is blank. (insert laugh track).
“Stop laughing,“ Grim shouted. ”This ain’t funny.”
“But we are not laughing,“ Eddy said, confused like everyone else.
"Ok, something is definitely wrong here.” Grim said as he walked out of the office. There was silence for a moment before Eddy broke the silence.
"Ok, Grim had lost it.” Eddy said (insert laugh track).
The scene changes to what looks like sunset playing with her guitar in a yellow background before the scene changes to the kitchen, where sunset is drinking the cocoa sunny made for her.
“This stuff is good,“ Sunset said. ”You have a talent for making drinks, Sunny.”
“Thanks,“ Sunny said, accepting sunset compliments. Suddenly, Grim enters the kitchen.
“Hey guys, something is wrong here.” Grim said.
“Wrong how?” Sunny asks.
“Well, for starters, my book is blank.” Grim said as he showed them the book.
“Wow, that sounds like it's not my problem,“ Sunny said (insert laugh track). “Now, if you need me, I will be in the not my problem mobile.” (insert laugh track).
Sunny then flew through the exit of the door.
“Take a cheer pill grim” Sunset said. ”It's just a blank book.”
“That's just it; it shouldn’t be blank,“ Grim said before he heard music. ”Hey, what's going on here? Where is that music coming from?”
The screen suddenly started turning black.
“Why is everything turning black?” Grim scream.
The scene then changes to what looks like a commercial.
Music plays as the scene shows a long traffic jam caused by a sofa blocking the road. The man tried to move it, but to no avail. The driver of the truck that was in front of him honked his horn in annoyance. Suddenly, a can of Pep appears. The man opens the can and drinks the pep. A cube of ice falls into a glass of Pep, spilling the Pep. Pep bursts out of glasses everywhere, then forms a wave heading towards the man. He jumps on the sofa and uses it as a float, then drinks his can of Pep. He winks at the camera as a voice-over says, "Put some pep in your step!"
The commercial ended and cut back to where we left off.
“Ok, something is definitely not normal here, and it seems I am the only one who noticed.” Grim said.
“Not just you." A voice said, and everyone turned to see Aria and Adagio standing not far from them.
“How long have you been here?“ Grim said.
“Since the commercial started.” Adagio said. (insert laugh track). ”Anyhow, something is definitely wrong here.”
“Nothing wrong here.” Sunset insisted. ”So why don’t you take a drink?” Sunset, grab a can of pep and toss it to grim. He caught it and opened the can, only for it to spray all over his face. (insert laugh track).
"Sorry,"Sunset said sheepishly.
“I have it,“ Grim said. ”It seems it is up to me to fix this mess since it looks like I am the only one who seems to notice the veil of reality is disintegrating!“
“Ahem,” Aria said, gaining grim attention.
“Oh, right, me, Aria, and Adagio,” Grim said. (insert laugh track).
The three left the kitchen.
The scene changes to show Adagio in a purple background, trying to sing, only for the song to be terrible. The sound of boos was heard, and tomatoes were thrown at her. Panic Adagio ran out of the screen.
The scene changes to show Sonata and Ed in the basement. In front of them was Ronald, who was tied to a chair.
“Snooping around, seemingly everywhere at once, pulling all the strings. I know who you really are.” Sonata said.
“It's not what you think.” Ronald said sweating.
“Put a sock in it, Spy!" Sonata said, pointing to him.
“ Phew. I mean.... spy? No, I am just a whimsically eccentric photographer.” Ronald said. (insert laugh track).
“He's not talking, Ed,“ Sonata said.
"What do we do now?” Ed asks.
“We will get some instruments to torture him and use them to talk,” Sonata said seriously before she had a giddy look on her face. "I have been dying to use some of them since the dark ages but never got a chance before they were banned because they were deemed too inhuman.” Sonata said before muttering. ”Stupid human rights community.” (insert laugh track).
“Ed uncle, can you please watch this guy while me and Ed get my instruments of torture?" Sonata asks, and immediately the camera turns to show Harold next to them. (insert audience cheering)
"Sure," “Harold said. ”But why?”
“Because he is a secret agent,“ said Ed before he and Sonata left the room, leaving Ronald and Harold.
“ Whoa! An agent?” Harold said. The scene flip- transition to show Harold and Ronald still in the basement. However, there are now two more people in there with musical instruments, and Harold is holding a saxophone. (insert laugh track).
“Is this guy really an agent?” the drummer asks.
“Yes, he is.” Harold said. ”But it's a secret, so we have to play reaaaally quiet. Two, three, four.”
The scene then cuts to the office, where everyone is trying to fix the room by nailing two planks onto the wall, but it causes a long crack on the wall. (Insert laugh track.) A pipe falls, which almost hits Eddy( insert laugh track).
“Oh, no, my outfit! "Eddy said as he patted his clothes before stopping when he realizes what he was doing. ”Wait, why am I mad about that? That is double D thing?” (Insert laugh track.)
Suddenly grim, Aria and Adagio burst into the room.
“Guys! Something is very wrong!” Grim said, and immediately Bright Burn, Bright Light, Double D, and Eddy tried to hide the damage in the room.
“Nothing is wrong here.” Bright burn said.
"That's right," bright light said.
“Absolutely,“ double D said.
“I can’t think of an excuse,“ Eddy said. (Insert laugh track.)
“I'm talking about how we're trapped in a mystical prison that's constantly laughing at us. What are you talking about?“ Grim said.
Immediately, all four look at each other before turning to grim
“ That” their all said at once. (Insert laugh track.)
Suddenly, a snipe pops out on the bottom right corner of the screen, showing an add-on for a show. It also has the words “new episode tonight.”
“Um, who are those little guys?” Aria said, pointing to the snipe.
“What little guys?“ Eddy asks. "You are talking crazy.”
“Wait, that looks like a TV ad,“ Adagio said before the ad disappeared. ”The ad disappeared.”
"Wait, TV ad,“ Grim said before bringing out his book. ”Blank book,“ he then went to the hole in the wall and put his hand through it. "No pipes, no insulation—this isn't real; this is a set! WE'RE ON A TV SHOW!“ (Suddenly, an oooooh sound is heard.)
“Wow, I figured if anyone would crack , it’d be Double D,” Eddy said (insert laugh track).
“Ok, we can prove it.” Adagio said. ”In all this time fixing the room, have you noticed it only has three walls?“
“That crazy talk,” Bright Burn said. ”Of course there is a fourth wall.”
“Have you even looked at it?” Grim said. All four froze up before turning to the fourth wall. Only to see that instead of a wall, it was a studio. In addition to that, they see people sitting down in an audience seat looking at them.
“How did we miss that?” Eddy said.
Bright light, then open the door to see a wall of bricks blocking their way out.
“We trap,“ he said in shock.
"How are we going to get out of here,” Aria said.
“The same way things happen on a TV show,” Grim said. ”Wacky hijinks.”
“Quick, everyone grab a tool and hit the floor.” Adagio said, and everyone (with the exception of Grim, who made his scythe appear in his hands) grabbed the tools, which ranged from hammers, sticklers, saws, etc., and began hitting the floor.
The scene changes to show grim in a blue background dancing.
“How did I get here?” Grim said in shock. ”Why am I dancing?”
The scene then changes to the kitchen to show Sunset rubbing her head in stress. She heard a door open and saw Ed and Sonata enter the kitchen.
“Oh, hey Sonata, hey Ed.” Sunset said.
“Hi sunset” Both greeted sunset.
“Have you guys seen the photographer?” Sunset ask
“No, have you seen the meat tenderizer?” Sonata asked as she went through the kitchen drawer and found what she was looking for. Ed also took a spatula from a drawer.
"What?" Sunset asks, confused.
“No reason,” Sonata said as she and Ed left the kitchen. Before she could do anything else, the back door opened, and in came Dracula.
“Hello, neighbor,” Dracula said( insert crowd cheering noise).
"Oh, hey, Dracula.” Sunset greeted the vampire. "What are you doing here?”
“Getting some ketchup for Dracula hot dog.” Dracula said showing his hot dog. He went to the kitchen counter, grabbed a bottle of ketchup, and poured it on his hot dog. After he put the ketchup down, he looked back at sunset. He noticed immediately that something was wrong with her. ”What's wrong with you?”
“We're taking this big family portrait, but I can't find the photographer!” Sunset said.
“Well, Dracula wish Dracula could help, but Dracula has to get back to work at the photography studio.” Dracula said.
“Wait, Dracula, you can help.” Sunset said. Dracula looked at her blankly.
“Because I need a photographer,” Sunset said. Dracula just stared at her before he had a look of relaxation.
“Of course! Dracula will head down to the studio, and see if one of Dracula fellow photographers can help you!“ Dracula said as he went outside. Sunset just stares at the door. (insert laugh track ).
Then suddenly, Dracula came back.
“Wait, Dracula is a photographer. Why don't Dracula help you instead!” Dracula said, causing sunset to facepalm. (insert laugh track ).
The scene then changes to Harold and his band playing music for Ronald. Harold was very close to Ronald and playing his saxophone badly, much to the photographer's annoyance. After a while, they stop( insert audience cheer).
“Thank you, thank you. And now for our next...” Harold said, but was interrupted by grim, bright burn, bright light, Eddy double d, Aria, and Adagio, who had fallen through the floor.
“What the heck?” Sunny’ said as she sunset, sunshine, sonata, Ed, eclipse, and Dracula enter the basement.
“What did you do?” Sonata yelled as she pointed at Ronald.
“Oh no, the office! The outfits! The glint on the buttons! The photo is ruined.” Sunset nearly yelled.
“Forget the photo; we're trapped in a TV show!” Grim said.
“First we get an audition, and now we get a TV show?“ Harold said to Ronald, “Wow, you're good!“ (Insert laugh track.)
"Hey, I just realized something,“ Double D said. ”Shouldn’t we be on our usual grim adventure?”
“You know, I think you are right,” Grim said.
“Well, trying to replace mom's broken vase after Ed broke it was an adventure.” Sunset said.
“We need to figure out what happened before this morning,” Sunny said.
"Easy," Sunset said. “We try to scam people out of their money, as usual.”
“I'm not talking about what happened in the last episode; I'm talking about how we got stuck here in the first place,” Sunny said as she stroked her chin, and immediately everything became fuzzy.
"What's happening?" Aria said.
“It’s a flashback.” Grim said. ”Quick everyone till you head to the left and stroke your chin.”
Immediately everyone, but sunset did just that.
The scene transitions to the Ed’s,sunset,Sunny, grim, and the dazzling were in a cave of some kind. They were on a rising platform that was full of treasures. Under them were a large hoard of giant scorpions.
“Eat this!“ Eddy yelled, throwing a rock at them. Everyone but Sunset did the same. Sunset, who was watching everything, couldn’t help but sight.
“I wish I had a regular family with regular family problems. I don’t mind being surrounded by supernatural creatures, but is it too much to just have a normal family problem with no live and death situation?” Sunset said. Suddenly, she heard something rumbling under her. She quickly got up and looked down at where she was sitting, which was a lamp. Suddenly, smoke comes out of the lamp, and then a genie appears from inside the smoke.
“Your wish is my command.” The genie said this, and immediately he snapped his fingers, and the screen was covered in purple smoke.
The flashback ends, and everyone is now looking at sunset.
“Sunset,” everyone said. (insert laugh track).
“You wish for this,“ Sunny asks.
“I wished for this five times a day. How was I supposed to know this time there would be a genie lamp under me?” Sunset defended. (insert laugh track).
“Wait, that genie from the flashback looked awfully familiar.” Aria said, and everyone turned to see Ronald, who was still tied, trying to escape.
“Where do you think you're going, photographer? Or should I say, spy?! OR SHOULD I SAY, GENIE?!” Sonata said.
“Okay, okay, you got me," Ronald said before bursting into a cloud of smoke. When the smoke clears out, it reveals the genie from the flashback.
“Gene the name,” the genie introduced himself. (Audience cheering sound effects). ”Nice to meet you all.”
“You, the guy from the commercial,“ said Grim.
“How many more secrets does this agent have?” Harold said. (insert laugh track ).
“Release us from this prison this instant,“ Grim said as he pointed his scythe at the genie.
“Sorry, I cannot do that. I'm just a humble genie carrying out sunset wish for a...“Gene said as he appeared next to sunshine in the form of a child, “perfect family.”
“Wait, this is your idea of a perfect family.” Eddy ask. ”How long have you been in that lamp?”
“Ages, the long-ago year of 1990,“ Gene said as he turned to his regular form. (inset laugh track). Aria suddenly grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him closer to her.
“Send us home right now.” Aria demanded.
“This is all just a wacky mix-up, which, to be fair, usually makes for good TV, am I right?“ Gene said. Aria, angry, slammed him into the wall. "Eep! Sorry, I can't help you. Only the lamp's master can do that. She has two wishes left, you know?”
Everyone then turns to sunset.
“Wait, so you can wish us out the whole time.” Sunny said.
“Come on, it's not so bad here, is it? Silly problems, comforting music, and everything gets resolved nicely in the end with no one getting hurt, captured, or having the consequences of your action to always affect you even after you did everything to undo them,“ sunset said sadly as sad music played.
"Sunset," Double D said in concern.
“Sorry guys, it was just that after our last adventure, where we barely survived our encounter with the Martian grim reaper, Morg, I realized how much you guys really mean to me. I already lost two family one was my mother-figure Celestia and my so-called friends. You are all I have left, and I can’t live without you guys.” Sunset said as tears began to form in her eyes. ”You know something funny. When I first got introduced to eddy business of scamming people, I didn’t like the idea at first, but after getting into it, I didn’t mind as it meant spending time with you guys. It was just so simple moments that I missed—just regular mundane situations and hijinks. No end-of-the world fight, no supervillain or monster Just regular problems that will be resolved by the end of the day with it not having a long-term effect on anyone.”
Sunset closes her eyes. She then suddenly felt like someone was hugging her. She looked up and saw it was bright light and bright burn hugging her as well as double d. All three let go of her.
“ Sunset I understand life can be hard.” Double D said. ”But you can’t hide forever in a false reality. We might face countless hardships, but there will be moments of happiness. As in life, there will be pain, but there will also be joy, and we will be there no matter what. Is that right, guys?”
Double d turn to Ed and Eddy.
“Sure, double d,” Ed said.
"Whatever," Eddy said before turning his head in the other direction. However, there was a warm smile on his face.
“You right, double d,” Sunset said, rubbing the tears from her face. ”All right, Gene, I am ready to make my wish.”
"Wonderful," Gene said, making his lamp appear in sunset hand.
“I wish...” Sunset before she stops.
“Well, why did you stop?” Adagio Said. Sunset then turns to her wish family.
“If I undo this wish, you guys will be gone,” Sunset said in relaxation.
"It's ok, dear," Bright Burn said.
“I agree,” bright light said. ”We might no longer be with you in person, but we will always be with you here.”
Bright light points at sunset heart. Susnet looks at her wish family with tears in her eyes.
“Goodbye, everyone.” Sunset said between tears. ”It might have been a short time, but I will treasure those moments. Mom, dad, eclipsed, sunshine , I will miss you all.”
"Goodbye, dear," BrightBurn said.
“I will miss you,” bright light said.
“Good bye, sunset, "eclipse said. Her voice had a bit more emotion in it than usual.
“Bye, big sis,” Sunshine said.
Sunset took one last look at her family before taking a deep breath.
“I wish we were all back in reality right now.” Sunset said.
“Your wish is granted.” Gene said as he snapped his fingers, and immediately a large purple smoke covered the area. When it was clear, everyone looked around to see that they were back in the cave. They looked down and saw that the scorpions were now gone.
“Did it work?” Eddy asks.
“Not sure.” Adagio said before turning to Ed. “Ed, say something funny.”
“Something funny,“ Ed said, and after not hearing anyone laugh, they all sighed in relief.
"We're back home,” Eddy said.
“Which means they are gone.” Sunset said crying. Two pairs of arms suddenly hug her.
“It's alright, dear.” A voice said,.
“It's not alright, mom.” Sunset said before she relaxed what she just said. She pulled away and saw it was her wish mom bright light. But not just her; her entire wish family was also next to her.
“But how?” Sunset said. Suddenly, Gene appeared next to her.
“Well, you say we, so I take it you mean them too,” Gene said. ”Besides, it would be cruel to separate such a lovely family.”
“Thank you,” Sunset said.
“Wow, that was sweet,” Dracula said.
“I agree,“ Harold said.
“Wait, you two were real the entire time.” Sunny said in shock.
“Of course. Magic's got nothing over the power of a big name guest star.” Gene said before turning his attention to sunset.”You know, you have one more wish. You can have anything.”
In sunset house sunset was putting a picture frame that contained a picture of sunset , bright burn,bright light, the Ed’s,the dazzling,sunny and grim.
“You could have anything you want, and you wish for that,“ Eddy said.
“I think it is lovely,“ Double D said as eddy grumbled.
“Everyone's lunch is ready,” bright light said from the dining room.
“Oh boy, lunch,“ Sonata and Ed said at the same time. Soon everyone from sunset new family, the Ed’s, the dazzling, sunny, and grim went to the dining room to have lunch. Sunset took one more look at the picture before smiling. She then walked to the dining room to join her family.
“I find my family twilight,” sunset thought. ”My real family.”

Later that night, a RV was seen parked next to the candy store. In it was a group of people.
“I can’t believe you guys snuck in scootoolo,“ Rainbow Dash said.
“We can’t help it.” Scootoolo said. ”It is our fault this happened.”
“We want to make it right, “Sweetie Bell said.
“Fine, but don’t go wondering off or cause any more problems.” Twilight said. ”You already cause enough problems.”
“We promised,“ said Sweetie Bell, Applebloom, and Scootoolo at the same time.
“Thanks for helping us twilight,“ Rarity said. ”It means a lot.”
“I didn’t do this for you,“ Twilight said. ”I did this for sunset.”
Everyone had a look of hurt on their faces upon hearing that, but they knew they had no one to blame but themselves.
“Ah, reckon we go to sleep as we need to wake up early tomorrow to look for sunset.” Applejack said. Everyone nodded in agreement and went to bed, as tomorrow they have a friend to find and apologize to.

On the outskirts of the town, a chariot was being pulled by a pair of hoses. In it was Eris, the goddess of chaos. She has a look of fear on her face.
"I got to find grim quick,“ Eris said in fear. ”Before he gets to me.”

Not far from the city limit, a figure dressed in a black cloak was seen. The figure had a muscular build, and on one of his hands was a metal gauntlet. His face was covered by the darkness of his cloak, and his eyes glow red in malice as he stares at the town.
