The Tale of Two Suns

The Eternal Flame

Sunset’s plan was a brilliant one to say the least. The princess’s agreed to the terms. Reggie was proud of her problem solving and compromising skills in the matter.
So that no pony could ever break such a deal, Sunset had the compromise documented. Then document was written as the following:

By the power of Princess Sunset Shimmer, Princesses Celestia and Luna are pardoned for any and all previous discrepancies within their ability to rule and cast judgment upon the citizens of Equestria.
Furthermore, Princess Sunset Shimmer will over see the actions of both princesses by monitoring their progress within Equestria. However, this does not limit Princess Sunset Shimmer’s residency to only Equestria.
By this document, Princess Sunset Shimmer is also given the inalienable right to access the portal to the Human World as she pleases. With this right, Princess Sunset Shimmer shall be given jurisdiction over all Human World interactions by studying the Magic of Friendship within the Human World. By no means may her access to of from the Human World be halted.
As in the past, Princess Celestia will continue ruling over Equestria with a just mind and a warm harm along side her sister Princess Luna. Princess Celestia may continue to control the sun and Princess Luna may continue her control over the moon. However, every year, up to five challenges my be issued between Princess Sunset Shimmer and Princess Celestia. The challenge will be conducted by the position of the sun in the sky. If Princess Sunset Shimmer wins, the result shall be the sun and moon having the same position. This shall be referred to as an Eclipse. If Princess Celestia is to win, then no Eclipse shall occur. Challenges shall commence at sunset.
Princess Sunset Shimmer’s duty from this day on is to now study the Magic of Friendship in the Human World. By no means should Princess Sunset Shimmer be labeled as the student of Princess Celestia, but as an equal. Princess Sunset Shimmer’s duties are subject to change only by her own will.
At any point, should anypony break any agreement made in said document, an attempt to fix any problem can be made. Whether it be as simple as an amendment to this document, or as harsh as Regicide.

Signed by Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Sunset Shimmer, and Mr. Regicide.

Sunset Shimmer knew it would be hard to give up her destiny, but at least she could have a shining moment of glory when creating an Eclipse for all the fillies and colts to stare in amazement. Sunset also couldn’t just leave her friends back in Humanville. She was content with her decision.
She had learned much on her journey. The strength her friends had given her was something she wanted to look into more, but this meant saying good by to a dear friend.
“Reggie,” Sunset started, almost tearing up. “Will I ever see you again?”
Reggie smiled, “My Dear, isn’t that the beauty of friendship? You don’t need to see me to continue to enjoy my company. We’ll always share the time we’ve spent together. Now trot along, you have one hay of a story to tell your friends. Am I right?”
Sunset put on a strong face, “You always are,” she whispered.
Reggie walked Sunset to the portal. She took one last look at Reggie before returning. At that moment she knew she was making the right choice.
“Goodbye, Dearie.”
