	Sunset awoke in a closet. She knew this closet, it seemed familiar. She identified a mirror in the room, the portal to Equestria. Wait, she thought. The portal to Equestria is the statue, the mirror is…
“Oh no,” she said aloud. Reggie must have dragged her through the portal after attacking her! She opened her mouth to scream, but her lips were caught by a gray hoof.
“Dearie, hush now. We can’t let the guards know we’re hear now can we?”
She didn’t care if all of Canterlot knew she was in that closet, she just wanted to get away from Reggie. She bucked him in the gut. 
She faced Reggie. He was a gray unicorn with a bowler hat. An image of a balance was printed on his flank, his Cutie Mark He was doubled over in pain due to her blow. Payback, she thought to herself.
“Why’d you do this. This isn’t what I wanted. I’m going back.” Sunset started towards the mirror.
“Ah,” Reggie grunted. “I’m afraid you can’t. You see, the portal has closed. You are stuck here. for the next month.” 
Sunset stopped in her tracks. She was trapped like a mouse, played like a pawn. All her emotions left her she was a hollow shell. “How could you?” Is all she could manage to utter.
“Destiny waits for no ponies, My Dear.” Reggie started. “Since you are here you might as well confront Celestia, hmm?” There was a sort of happiness in Reggie’s voice. As if he had succeeded. “You really will come to my terms. Don’t believe me? Look at you back.”
Sunset turned. She hadn’t even realized a pair of orange wings were attached to her torso. They felt weird, as if she had grown two more legs that were light weight and feathery. Flying isn’t going to come easy, she thought. 
Her thoughts progressed futher, to her friends. All of a sudden her emotions came back with the force of Reggie’s cane. She started to sob. “How could you take me away?”
Reggie’s happy attitude faded. “Dearie, we were running out of time. If we were to leave we would have had to do so in less than a minute after our disagreement.”
“Why should I help you. In case you didn’t know, you don’t beat someone up to help you.” Sunset stated crossly.
“Erm, somepony, Dear. Knit-picking, sorry. But this land is at peace, you are right. But you can do such a better job, it is laughable. Let me teach you have to control your new powers, your wings, your persuasive skills. You can be a better Princess than Celestia, I know it.”
Once again, his words were powerful. But flattery could only get him so far. “I still have friends in the Human World, Reggie. I can’t just leave them.”
“You are not listening, Sunset. You have thirty days until the portal opens again. Until then what are you going to do? If you follow me, I can train you to deal with Celestia. After the thirty days I promise to let you choose what to do, stay or go back. But please, don’t be selfish. Think about everypony else. You could supply them with a better world. Can you really deny them that?”
Curse Reggie! Why was he so clever. Sunset had no other options to pursue. 
That day, in that closet, she vowed that no amount of royalty or power would ever corrupt her. She would return to Humanville and live life as a human high school student.
