Epilogue
How many years had it been since she had seen Sunset Shimmer? How many years had it been since she learned the fate of her daughter from Twilight? So much had changed since that day: Tirek, Discord completely changed into becoming good, Twilight’s new castle, Starlight Glimmer, and Flurry Heart. So much had happen in so few years, but she never stopped thinking about her daughter. Twilight had informed her of all the events that had happened when the Sirens had taken over that human school, and when she reported that Sunset saved the day again during that school’s competitive games events.
She had never been more proud of Sunset, especially when she learned she had become an alicorn during the battle against the other Twilight Sparkle. Deep in her heart, Celestia always knew her daughter would earn her redemption one day and she could think of no greater sign than this. Sure, she was not a full alicorn, but to be granted that status by magic, even temporarily, is a sign of a true hearted pony.
Despite having the means to stay in contact, Celestia never once wrote in the journal that she and Sunset once used together. She was still too ashamed and just had Twilight write for her despite her former student urging them to talk. That was until Sunset wrote that she wanted to speak to her mother.
Her mother. Those words and those words only. Not “princess”, “teacher”, or “mentor”.
Mother.
So she stood in Twilight’s Castle, the mirror just in front of her along with the strange device her student had created to travel back and forth on her own choosing. Celestia requested that she would be alone when this happened. No Twilight, Luna, or any of the Elements she had come to accept as friends. This was something she needed to face alone.
This was something she needed to face as a mother.
Celestia bit her lip. What would happened between the two of them? Would there be yelling? Would Sunset look at her in disgust? Could she contained herself from just falling to the ground and beg for forgiveness? She was willing to do anything this time. Anything to have her daughter see how sorry she was for hurting her.
Ripples appeared in the mirror as Celestia held her breath. Time seemed to slow down as she waited for her daughter to appear. First came a hoof with a very familiar color scheme, then a horn that had grown since she last saw it., and finally a face.
It was so much more mature and beautiful than she last time she saw that face, but upon seeing it Celestia did everything in her power not to cry. The eyes of the stallion she once loved looked at her with sorrow and fear as Sunset Shimmer, now a grown mare, slowly walked out of the mirror and entered Equestria for the first time in a long time.
She’s become so beautiful, thought Celestia upon seeing her daughter at last. She had seen the photos Twilight had taken of the world beyond the mirror, but to see her actual daughter in the flesh as a pony was better than any picture.
Sunset stood there, staring at Celestia who did the same. Neither of the two knew what to do now that they were in the same room together. Finally, Sunset gave a sob and charged forward, tears in her eyes. Upon seeing this, Celestia did the same, running so fast her crown fell from her head.
The mother and daughter of the sun met in the middle and embraced, Celestia hugging her sweet child while she cried into her shoulder. “I’m sorry! I’m so sorry!” screamed Sunset Shimmer as she continued to shed tears.
A smile appeared on Celestia’s face as she nuzzled her daughter as gently as she could. “I’m so sorry too, my Little Sun.”
“... Mom...” Whispered Sunset, who just hugged tighter.
Upon hearing that word, Celestia just closed her eyes as she felt years of guilt and suffering leave her with that one word.
Mom.
It was then that she knew that everything would be alright.

Unless it's a sequel hook!
DUN DUN DUNNNNNN
6538241 There's plenty of evidence to mar ISIS as permanent bad guys, that's like saying four hundred years from now people will be like 'oh small pox blankets to Indians that's not so evil', and Nazi Germany was misunderstood, and Stalin's Gulag was not so bad etc. I don't know who your history teacher is, but there are plenty of better examples in history to explain differing perspectives that he didn't need to try to make ISIS seem less evil then they are. And the only future in which a world would sympathize with ISIS is one in which ISLAM has completed their Caliphate and all terrorist organizations will be regarded as martyrs for the greater good. Truthfully I hope that never happens. But here is the low down and dirty of all the BS you spit, you go get yourself captured by ISIS and tell me if semantics matter when your heads being chopped off for no reason.
P.S. Your rant sounded as childish as the scene where Anakin said "From my perspective the Jedi are evil." Food for thought kid, do you really want to be emo Anakin?
Sequelsequelsequel
not much of a ending over all i enjoyed this story also was sunset a alicorn when she came through or not cus my past is not today implied she became a alicorn in that it even has a similar effect to when twilight ascended
also will there be a sequel
Heh, all the physical qualities linking Celestia and Sunset are gone.
So what caused her to finally decide to go back?
Sadly, what Sunset said next completely erased Celestia's hopes.
Seems anti-climactic. Doesn't really address the issues between them.
*Huggles* Thanks!
7123366 Who was the father again I can't remember if it was mentioned of not?
7133698
She never told Twilight, but I think Shining Valor mentioned it. I can't remember the name though.
7133900 Do you remember which chapter?
7133900
7134263
I never gave the father a name
7134313 Oh Thank you but how come? Did you feel like it wasn't important to the story?
7134886
Felt like adding a little mystery :)
7134887 Oh I get it that's a nice touch. So now that this story is done what are you going to do next?
7135371
Finish all my other ones
I wonder how Sunset felt constantly seeing the principal that looked like her mother only seeing her as just another student. Maybe that was better for her? I don't know.
Cute ending I guess?
But this bit from the first paragraph. It's a run-on sentence and it's incomplete. I read it over and over to confirm that it was indeed a run-on sentence and it's not even complete. Worded wrong in a couple places. Ponystar, if anything I've learned from you that this is a nono. Come on buddy you can do better than that ;)
Twilight had informed her of all the events that had happened when the Sirens had taken over that human school, and when she reported that Sunset saved the day again during that school’s competitive games events.
This bit ^
I like how you portrayed Celestia. You made Celestia just look like any other pony with flaws, not some goddess.
Twilight how do you think peace has been kept with all the different creatures it wasn't just with friendship. History is written by the winners to make themsevles look good and deponize the losers. Just look at the Crystal Empire, all records of its existence were expunged at my request after it vanished.
Beautiful story. I absolutely love this Sunset origin story to her being selfish, or a killer. I do gotta say I had to read this for the title alone though, it makes me think of Fiddler on the Roof, and I was expecting a little more from that aspect.

Sunset stole Twilight's crown, the Element of Magic necessary for the defense of the Realm. She also tried to invade Equestria with an army of brainwashed teens and almost killed Princess Twilight with a fireball.

Hitler may have been an incompetent ruler and general, but he was charismatic and knew how to earn German people 's loyalty to fanatic levels. Killing him before joined the DAP may have prevented the war.
beautiful story, very well done

Squeal.
Most of this story was basically just my heart breaking at their relationship and their family history, but apart from that the ending really was heartwarming and really made me happy. Aside from that though, during the friendship games Sunset should've kept her wings in my opinion atleast.
I would like to beg for a sequel, comrade.
