A few weeks after the defeat of The Dazzlings...
Sunset Shimmer P.O.V.
It was another one of those boring history lessons again. American history was not nearly as interesting as Equestrian history... There was no turning Discord into stone, no windigoes, no sirens and also no-
"Sunset Shimmer!" I heard a voice shout. It was my history teacher, Mrs Violet.
"Huh?" I yelped in surprise. A few people snickered.
"Daydreaming in class again? Well then, I expect you know a lot about American history already? In which year did Christopher Columbus discover America?"
"Uhhhh, 1783?" I mumbled a random number. I had no idea who this Christopher Columbus even was. What would you expect from a pony from another world though?
Mrs Violet took a deep breath and sighed loudly. "Sunset Shimmer, how does detention sound?"
"Not very good Mrs Violet."
"Well too bad, that exactly what your getting, after school, 1 hour 2-3, and I expect you to listen in class." With that she got back to teaching the class more about American history.

The bell finally rang after what felt like eons. I got out of that prison together with Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash. "Ugh, I can't believe she gave me detention for an hour."
"It's not that bad, well maybe because I have had 2 hours before..." Rainbow comforted, if you could call it that.
"Hello girls!" Shouted a familiar voice that belonged to none other then Rarity, who was with Fluttershy and Applejack. They found a table a sat down at it, they all went to take their food, except Sunset Shimmer, who took out the book she used to write to Princess Twilight. It was nicknamed the 'text-book'.
Dear Princess Twilight,
Hope you are well in Equestria. Just got detention, never a fun thing... We are really missing you here. Maybe you can go through the portal again to visit us one day. This book is great when I need advice or when I just want to talk. Do you think it can send photos?
Your Friend

I took a photo we took together and stuck it in. I closed it and opened it once again and flipped to that same page, and the photo was gone! It had been sent. "It worked guys! I can send photos through the text-book!"
"Oh that's wonderful." Fluttershy said. A few moments later, the book began to glow and vibrate.
In an excited tone, I exclaimed, "she replied!" I opened it and flipped to that page.
Dear Sunset Shimmer,
Life here is great, no monsters of any sorts attacking yet... How are you, other then that detention thing, is it bad? I hope not. I think I might come over next week, really missing you guys, we really need to get together one day when the fate of both of our worlds isn’t hanging in the balance… I didn't know that you could send photos through this book! I've sent one myself! I can't even believe I got Cadance in on this one!
Your Friend,
Princess Twilight
A picture with a lot of ponies fell out of the book. "Hey girls, come and see this, your pony counterparts!" All of them scampered over to my side to see the picture. There was Twilight with her wings spread out majestically, surrounding her was Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack and Spike.
“WOW! So Spike really is a dragon!” exclaimed Fluttershy excitedly. There were the Cakes, the Mayor, Zecora, the CMC, Big Mac with Granny Smith and Snips and Snails together, all in the photo that was taken. At the right-hand side of the photo was three exceptionally tall, mares, a midnight blue one, a white one and also a pink one standing together.
“Hey… These three look really familiar. Can’t quite put my finger on it though…” Rainbow Dash looked like she was thinking hard.
“They’re Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Princess Cadance. They are the rulers there.” I provided the answers. Sure has been a long time since I have seen Princess Celestia. Should I go back one day?
“Princess? Like Twilight? Talk about a promotion! Principal Celestia, Vice-Principal Luna and Counselor Cadance’s counterparts I assume?” Rarity mumbld to herself.
“By the way, Twilight says that she might come over in a week!” I informed. All of us cheered happily, drawing attention to our table.

After recess, we got back to our classrooms RD and Pinkie with me. I looked at my timetable. It’s Geography next. I’m still not particularly used to the human versions of the cities in America, for example, Manehattan is Manhattan and Fillydelphia is Philadelphia. It wasn't very interesting when your teacher taught you about something you knew relatively well. So I decided to take out the text-book and wrote a reply to Princess Twilight.
Dear Princess Twilight
Thanks for sending in that picture, Pinkie was so excited when she saw her pony counterpart. I guess they all have the same personalities. Rarity was quite fascinated by Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Princess Cadance's regalia, something about really grand... RD asked whether her pony counterpart was just as sporty and awesome as she was, I assume she is. Fluttershy is still very excited about Spike being a dragon. Applejack is just excited to see her whole family as ponies. We are all so glad and excited about your upcoming visit! Until then, take care!
Your Friend,
Sunset Shimmer
I suddenly realized that the class was very quiet, the teacher wasn't talking, no one was whispering. I looked up. "Gah!" My Geography teacher was staring straight into my eyes. Oh no, I knew I was in trouble.
"Sunset Shimmer, what are you doing while I'm teaching?" She asked.
"Ohh heh uhh, I'm just um, you know, uh, taking notes?" I stammered, I mentally scolded myself for such a lame excuse. She'll definitely want to look at the book. In 3 2-
"Really? Let me look at that book." I groaned inwardly and passed the book to Ms Fern. She opened the book, and glared at me after she looked through the book.
"Writing gibberish is notes to you, Sunset Shimmer?" I could see the whole class giving me funny looks, some were trying to hide their laughs.
"Uhhh, yes?" I had nothing else to say.
"You can get it back tomorrow."
"Can I get it at the end of class? Please!" I had to see Twilight's reply!
"No! Tomorrow and that's final." My teacher said firmly. I sunk into my seat in defeat. The rest of the day passed by quickly until school ended. Rainbow, Pinkie and I walked towards the school canteen and sat down at a seat. Rainbow was staying back for soccer practice and Pinkie was just following us to the canteen for some food before she left for home. I was having a quick lunch before I left for detention. I actually wanted to just write to Twilight in detention... Now that it's confiscated, I have nothing to do for 1 hour. Maybe I'll finish my homework.
"I can't believe Ms Fern confiscated the text-book! Now we'll never get to talk to Twilight again!" Pinkie complained in annoyance.
"Pinkie, it's only for a day!" Said a calm Rainbow.
"Oh yeah!"

After detention, which was so boring, I headed back to my appartment, 5 minutes away from CHS. I just want the text-book back.
