This isn't a bad story, though there's a number of spelling and grammar errors throughout. Still, not bad.

Really enjoyed this story. Kinda sad to see it as a one shot, it has the makings of a great continuation, romance/adventure almost begging to be written.

The former unicorn, now full time student to Princess Twilight, stretched as she climbed out of her bed. Her pajamas consisted of a long sleeve top and bottom with her cutie mark embroidered on them both. No matter how long she had been away from Equestria, she felt the need to have her mark on everything she owned. It helped that she knew someone who could do such a thing on everything she owns, even though it took a long time to explain that the markings appear on your flank when you have discovered whatever you were good at.

Yep, she sure does alright, and practically the same with her human friends and other students at CHS.

The two men appearing at her door? Well, that can be the result of Doctor Twilight’s investigation continuing into the break. Ever since the Dazzlings were defeated, police and investigators have appeared at CHS and interviewed everyone who either worked there or studied. After some investigating of her own, Sunset was able to find that it was Twilight’s human counterpart that was investigating the school, and it was her sole duty to find whatever was causing the two magical outbursts and silence it. Sunset warned Twilight to stay away until there was no more heat, and that may be why she had not responded to her messages.

Sure must of been a surprise alright.

The two broke the hug. “Well, I was hoping to surprise you girls at Sugarcube Corner, but when I entered the portal, something happened and my velocity greatly accelerated. I had enough magic to conjure the book and send the message, thinking that you were at the school. That, and I need a bit of a vacation from Ponyville. Rainbow and Rarity were arguing about whether or not Rainbow should try on Rarity’s new winter collection while Applejack used paper towels to plug her ears, and—”

That still doesn't 100% explain how she ended up at Sunset's apartment instead of at CHS?

Sunset smiled and turned on the radio. With her favorite station already programmed with a melody of Christmas music playing, the ride to Sugarcube Corner was smooth. Sunset had to explain how the radio works and also the concept of driving to the hangout. She told the princess that it took a while until she got her license and even longer to get her own car. She blamed herself for not having any credit in her name (mainly because her human counterpart wasn’t living in the country).

Well at least she won't have to worry about running into her anytime soon.

Occasionally, Twilight found herself checking the rear view mirror. By what Sunset was saying about being watched, she suddenly became paranoid that her human counterpart, this Doctor Sparkle, was following them. The idea was nerve-racking.

I feel the same as well, kinda.... 🙄

Rarity and Rainbow Dash were debating about what song they should work on for their appearance at the Canterlot High Winter Formal. While Rainbow thought that rocking out was a great idea, providing a more soothing classical piece to the party was what Rarity had her heart set on. Applejack, Fluttershy and Pinkie were the only ones who noticed Sunset at the door and called for her attention. Fluttershy had a stuffed replica of Discord in her hands while Pinkie was busy gulping down her drink. Sunset knew that she must be trying to hide any evidence of coffee.

I got a good guess where she might have gotten that plush.

The girls all agreed, but Sunset had her suspicions. Something wasn’t right with Twilight, especially after she was almost called Midnight.

She must be hiding a reason behind it, but what? 🤔

“Rarity saw a spider,” Applejack said. “Ya can guess what happened next.”

She broke it while trying to kill it. How original of her.

As Twilight began spinning the tale, the snow outside continued to fall. As more people started coming and going, the Sun started to set over Ponyville. Street lights began to illuminate the city and Christmas lights ignited the trees and shops. A soothing round of Christmas music filled the city as many of its residents walked and enjoyed each other’s company. Some were even couples who were using the Christmastown setting as a way to further ignite love.

How sweet. 😊

The two Equestrians popped open their meals. As they did, Sunset continued to search for anything besides the news, but there was little to watch. Canterlot High was on 24/7 thanks to Doctor Sparkle. Sunset gave up looking for something on TV and instead walked to where she stored her DVDs. After some quiet searching, she found a movie worth watching: Guardians of the Galaxy. She popped in the movie and sat back down next to her friend.

Good choice and great movie. 😎

Sunset looked at Twilight. “In this world, there is a type of disease known as cancer. It’s when the human body has a sudden increase in cellular regeneration and it can lead to an unbearable sickness. When people have it, they have to go through a procedure that requires their hair to be removed. A lot of people don’t survive the sickness,” she said. She pointed at the woman in the movie. “She has it.”

Huh, that explains things why they go bald when their cancer get worse sadly....

She shifted in her spot. Where are my pants?

I'm not even gonna question that odd ending.
