What I've done
Sunset and Twilight approached Sunset's apartment. After Sunset's small outburst next to the portal, Twilight decided to keep a small distance between both her and Sunset. If what her human friends had told her was true, making Sunset angry was the equivalent of skydiving from Cloudsdale without wings, or a parachute, and Twilight didn't want to test the accuracy of that herself. The two of them had been completely silent the entire time.
Sunset unlocked her front door, opened it, and walked in. Twilight followed in behind, and closed the door behind her. Sunset quickly threw her bag across the room, went over to her bed, and laid down on it, facing the wall. Twilight sat down at Sunset's desk and looked over at Sunset.
She was still completely silent, and while she didn't seem angry anymore, it didn't seem like she was going to move anytime soon, either. It was obvious that, while it may not be the best thing, Twilight was going to have to break the silence herself.
"Sunset?" she began, "Are you alright?" Sunset didn't say anything. "Is something bothering you?" Still nothing. "You know we can talk about it if you want," Twilight continued. "Is it about what happened between you and Prince, uh, principal Celestia?" Still nothing. It was as if Sunset couldn't even hear her. "If you're feeling calmer now, then we can go back to Equestria now, if you really want to."
"Sorry I yelled at you Twilight..." Sunset mumbled, "...You didn't deserve that."
"It's fine, but do you want to talk about all this?" Twilight asked, hoping to at least get an answer this time.
"Not really."
"Well, if there's anything you want to get off your chest, I'm right here," Twilight said, trying her best to encourage Sunset to talk to her.
"Honestly, Twilight..." Sunset began, "Right now, I really don't wanna go home yet..."
"Huh, you, you don't?" Twilight repeated, extremely surprised. "Did you just say you don't want to go home?"
Sunset nodded. "Yeah, I did..."
"Why not? I thought you really wanted to go back to Princess Celestia?" Twilight asked.
"Well, I do. I really do," Sunset replied, "But now, I kinda don't."
While she was still facing the wall, Twilight was happy now that Sunset was talking to her. "I don't get it. You want to stay here now? Why?"
"..."
"You said you wanted to do as much as you could at that school before you the portal closed and you returned to Equestria, didn't you?"
"Yeah."
"So, what's with the sudden change of mind?" Twilight asked.
"Well..." Sunset rolled over, so she was now facing Twilight, instead of the wall. "I'm scared..." Sunset began. Her voice was full of nervousness and fear.
"Scared?"
"Scared of what Princess Celestia will think of me when I tell her..." Sunset continued.
"Why would you be scared of the Princess?"
"Scared that she'll hate me after what I did..." Sunset continued.
"Sunset, the Princess doesn't hate you, she misses you." Twilight walked over to the bed, and sat on edge, next to Sunset. "What makes you think she would hate you?"
"It was the way the human Celestia snapped at me earlier," Sunset replied, "She had so much hate for me all built up, and she just let it out. While I may not like it, the truth is she is Celestia in this world, and if Princess Celestia was to snap at me like that..." Sunset began crying.
Twilight put her hand on Sunset's shoulder. "Sunset..."
"If she hates me for what I've done, I don't know what else I'd do..." she cried weakly.
"I just told you," Twilight continued softly, "Princess Celestia misses you, I'm sure she's already forgiven you for what you've done before."
"But, but it's not about what I've done to her in Equestria, it's about something I did over here. I-"
"Then you don't have to tell her," Twilight. interrupted.
"W...What..?" Sunset asked.
Twilight wiped one of Sunset's eyes. "If it's something you did in the human world, then... Maybe Princess Celestia doesn't need to be told."
"Twilight, this isn't something I can keep to myself," Sunset said, "I have to tell her."
Twilight thought for a moment. "Why don't... Ah-ha! Why don't you tell me instead!" she said with a smile.
"What?" Sunset sat up next to Twilight. "Tell you?" she repeated.
"Yeah. I know I may not be Celestia, but I'm still a Princess of Equestria, and Princess Celestia told me to look after you, anyway," Twilight said, "So if something's really bothering you that much, you can tell me about it."
"I could... Tell you instead..?" Sunset repeated.
Twilight nodded nicely. "I promise, I won't judge you, and I also promise, once you've told me about it, you'll feel a lot better."
"I need the bathroom!" Sunset quickly stood up, and ran over into her bathroom, before locking the door shut behind her.
"Sunset!" Twilight walked over to the locked door, and tried to open it, to no avail. "Darn it," Twilight muttered.
On the other side of the door, Sunset was unsure what she should do. She couldn't tell Twilight, that was for sure, but maybe Twilight was right when she said Celestia didn't need to know either. But could she really do that? Could she really keep the truth to herself? Since Sunset was sent back in time, the incident at the Fall Formal never happened, so is it really that bad to keep it to herself?
"Sunset?!" Twilight called out through the door, "I'm not going to force you to tell me, and I'm sorry if I came off as forceful or anything."
Sunset opened the door and walked out to a worried Twilight. "Before you ask, I'm alright," she walked over to the front door. "I'm gonna take a walk back to the school, get some freash air, alright, Twi?"
"You're going back to the scho- Wait, you're not going to go home without me, are you?" Twilight asked.
"No." Sunset pointed to a book on her desk. "That's my diary that I use to write to Celestia, I'm not leaving without it."
"That diary..."
"You wanna come with me?" Sunset asked.
Twilight looked back at Sunset, "No thanks. I'll be alright on my own," she replied.
"Really?" Sunset asked, "You sure you wanna stay here on your own?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine. Actually, I think some time alone to think will do you good." Twilight said.
Sunset opened the door and walked out. "Alright, see you in a bit," Sunset said as she closed the door.

WHY IS IT ON HIATUS RIGHT BEFORE THE END!?
6872114 Actually I just removed the hiatus tag, sorry you got confused.
Even though this is Favorited and it updated it's not showing up on my favorites.
6872119 Thank gods.
Poor Sunset...I hope she figures it out soon. I would love to see her go back to Equestria!
Since there's not much to be said about this chapter I'll mention this is one of the best uses of the Sad tag I've seen around here: I like how, even if there's nothing that bad happening, the whole fic has a heavy and constant sad undertone permeating the whole story. Great work so far and I hope you keep writing this.
6872750 Oh, Realy? Thanks!
Dang, but Sunset is right to be a bit nervous... Princess Celestia is capable of firing solar death beams when pissed. I can totally picture Sunset having witnessed this if Celestia had to defend her from an assault or something.
Caught a spelling error.
6875240 Thanks.
Twilight is WAAAAAAYYYY out of her element with this one.
Nice chapter, good work.
Oh man. I just reread this story and now I'm even more anxious for the next chapter!!!!
I really liked this story so far. i'm quite curious how you'll choose to end Celestia/Discord/LD arc.
I hope you'll resume writing this fanfic. Please keep up and good luck.
Twilight's gonna read the diary. I'm calling it now.
... when did this update happen? I ever got the notification. Gah!
I'm liking these Sunset Shimmer stories, especially this one! Can't wait for an update.
I think this needs the new Main 7 (EQG) tag
Don't know if this is dead now, but I really hope it gets picked back up.
Awww No update
This needs an update, it's too good to never continue.
Could we maybe get an update? Pretty please? The story is too good to see it end here. I finished reading it all quickly and kept pressing next chapter as fast as I could once I reached the end of the chaptet
That's another great story you've done here, and whenever you'll come back (il you're planning to), I'll be waiting ^^.
Really good story so far looking forward to more of it.
Awww man, I finished reading it
I really loved this story, I hope that one day you'll eventually come back to it. I can't wait for more.
