Sunset was enjoying her day, going through school as she was expected to do, when she's suddenly called to the Principal's office.
Confused, but with little choice in the matter, she answers, heading to Celestia's office. There, she finds the Principal sitting, wanting to have a chat.
Sunset was not prepared for anything like this.
Now with Youtube reading!
*grins*
That seems like something the Princess would do.
This so needs to be expanded on, this an excellent story.
That was great, seems like something Celestia would do, part trickery and partly just to sound out how Sunset feels. Sunset is definitely repentant, the question is if she can face her past directly.
Aww. That's nice. Have an upvote.

Nice, although a little too easy to guess.
Aren't bits generally considered to be made of gold?
That was a mind-blowing story.
Have a like.
saw the twist coming but still nice story
thoe i honestly cant ever see sunset returning home for more than a visit (not that this story said she would or anything just my 2 cents on that)
and another 2 cents no wait 3 cents from me is i personaly belive celestia is sunsets mother
Unless Sunset murdered a pan and gave it to Celestia, I do believe it would be either a deadpan look or a deadpan expression.
Chat shit, gets banged!
Beautiful

Lauren said that nor Celestia nor Luna don't have any children.
yes!

That was beautiful. Excellent use of just over two thousand words.

PS: 100th up-vote.
Saw it coming a mile away, but still, not bad.
7321067 Quite frankly, anything Lauren Faust said in 2010 or 2011 stopped meaning anything once she left the show. When it comes to a television series, being the creator/developer ceases to have any meaning once you jump ship and let other people take over. If Thiessen, Wootton, or (god help me) Haber suddenly decided Sunset is Celestia's biological daughter, it'd be canon.
? = eyes
Speaking of eyes liquid emotion leaking from mine.

I think that unless show proves that she wrong (already happen at least once) her word at least partially true.
That true but I doubt that they will.
And theory that Sunset are Celestia daughter have too many holes to be true. I fairly sure that Celestia pregnancy would be a extremely big business. Child of beloved princess that, from point of view of common ponies, may be sooner or later inherit the throne. But... no one know Sunset? Don't hear anything about her? Twilight, who spend most of her life in palace, don't recognize the name? Like "Sunset? You mean yore daughter, Princess?". Instead we got "Sunset? Who the hell is she?".
What happened wasn't unexpected at all. But it was a lovely read nevertheless. Reconciliation always brings a smile to my face

Of course, then you would have to explain who the father is, and what happenend to him.
Except for Scootaloo and Silver Spoon, we have at least heard of the father of reocurring cast members for the most part. And the show seems to shy away from both divorce or having a child out of wedlock
Okay. I'm surprised it took this long for a story like this to surface. Have a fav.
Shoot, I was hoping this fic would be about how Sunset views the human Celestia.
7321289 Please, PLEASE work on improving your grammar. I can tell English isn't your first language, but that entire comment was atrociously painful to read.
And it's not as though they've never suddenly pulled previously unknown relatives out of thin air. Remember Shining Armor? Maud Pie? Zephyr Breeze?

Not sure why you'd get downvoted, after the second question it was crystal clear that Princess and Principal had swapped places.
If it's someone being defensive, being predictable hardly makes something bad, I thought it was a very good fic.
There's something equalizing about Princess Celestia being sneaky and kinda dishonest to get Sunset to talk to her. It feels very much like something she'd do if she felt it was worth it, even if it's probably not the best way.
7320298 <--- this, so much this.
Great story. Have a fav.



I was suspicious from the start, but I wasn't 100% sure until the part where Tia started to press Sunset on if she ever wanted to go back to Equestria. It was still great when the human Tia came back to her office early, since I'm assuming the two of them planned this out together.
Well-tread territory, but rarely executed so skillfully. Saw the twist coming and still felt it hit. Well done.
Great story, I wonder how both Celestias reacted to seeing each other for the first time.
7321357 show admited apple jacks parents are dead and sunsets parents haven ot even been mentioned my theory is sunset has no father her family has never been mentioned her cutie mark looks alot like celestias and having cutie marks connect is not uncommon for families in MLP
this also explains why there is no human sunset no magic no way for celestia to conseive sunset thus no sunset
plus it adds to the drama of the back story another family member celesta drove away
7321067 and she did not creat the character of sunset shimmer she has no connection to the show any more many things have been done that contradict her original plans for the show
7321672 man I didn't even see it coming until right before she walked in.

As I say to MythrilMoth - this theory have too many holes. Like - why no one knew about Sunset and no one recognize her name? Entire Equestria somehow missed birth of Celestia daughter? And "Celestia give birth to her in secret" not that good for answer, really.
Beautifully done... though I do hope the Celestias arranged this earlier, otherwise the principal may be in for something of an existential crisis. Still, a very heartwarming scene. Thank you for it.
7322593 who says no one knows it would not be the first time a character was known in universe but not out to us nor would it be the first retcon to the series any ways
WHAT A TWIST!
7322798
Only, you know, even Twilight, who live in the Canterlot castle from small age don't know who Sunset is and don't recognize her name. And we talking about supposed child of Celestia! No one said to Celestia anything like "Sunset? Oh, like your daughter?". And this supposed daughter just gone for years and no one cares.
Celestia/Sunset reconciliation fics are the sweetest thing in the world. Wish it would happen in the frickin' show already...Great fic.
7322918 On the flip side of that; their departure from each other is one of the most tragic and heartbreaking things I have ever read.
Both of these are fine in their own right.
Anyway, the story; short and sweet. No complaints. Have a like.
7322897 and again retcons happen all the time in this series twilights on backstory got a massive retcon with her brother and cadence
hell celestia having a sister was something no one knew about twilight never knows of any of celestas past foes even thoe they are stories that are on the windows all over the palace
here is a fun fact the only conection at all sunset has to eqeuestria is her past as celestias student nothing else about her past has ever even been mentioned
betraying celestia is the only regret sunset ever really dwells on
again her cutie mark looks alot like celestias something that tends to showcase family conections in this series
you are focusing so much on the no one knew who she was thing but ignoring every thing that hints at this conection
the writers never expected sunset to be a popular character but she has become one and is the star of the EG film series now so yes its perfectly logical to just retcon her backstory a bit to make this conection and it works as a easy hand wave on why there is no human sunset
7323015
Uh, no. That not a retcon. Retcon all about changing already established facts. Like "Twilight always been an alicorn". "Twilight have a brother" not a retcon because no one ever said that she don't have a brother.
Because it's happen at best a thousand years ago. And stained glass not a good source for historical information.
And that somehow change the fact that no one knew or care about her? Even though she a "Celestia daughter"? Yeah, extremely plausible. I mean... Who cares about royal heir?
Because she her teacher who put lots of thrust in her.
There is also lots of ponies who's cutie marks have from little to none connection with their parents marks. So "cutie mark connection" are rather flimsy evidence at best.
By this theory she a Celestia! heir! and princess! With far more right on royal title that Blueblood (who a fifty time removed relative). She friggin important! And still no one know or cared about her?
A bit? In my opinion - actually a lot.
Okay, from my point of view this whole theory hold too many assumptions and because of this rather implausible. At least for me. So Occam and his razor told be don't believe in it :). Aaaand I don't think that we able to find a compromise or convert each other to our point of view. So I think that better to "agree to disagree" and stop this whole argument.
I've read this story before.
This is the second time, which should say something.
The question then is, WHY HAVE I NOT PUT THIS ON MY FAVORITES? <3
7323095 twilights backstory was she never had a friend before the mane 6 now she has 2 her brother and cadence that is a retcon
why has no one ever even mentioned sunsets parents hmmm why has sunset never even thought about them as i said betraying celestia is the only thing she has ever dwelled on in the slightest about her past in eqeustria
and as i mentioend the stained glass thing as that is where stories are shown
hell there are books on celestias past yet those where never read by twilight untill its plot relevent
the point im trying to make is in a on going narative things change the show has changed alot in 6 seasons characters histories have clearly changed
season 1 acts like rainbow and flutter shy never spent time together out side of sorta meeting at flight camp now we have proof they are child hood friends meaning that is not true at all
you dont want many long running series do you
7323144
I could pretty much argue about all of you points but it's clearly useless. You want to believe that Sunset are Celestia daughter? Good for you. But at this point nothing support this theory aside from some rather flimsy assumptions.
7323172 you started the argument i just shared my 3 cents on something i like and you felt the need to argue the point
Interesting concept. Could be taken further, but even as a one-shot, it's good.
"And I promise I won't press charges."
Smooooooooth.
This needs a sequel
7321289
I think it's not unreasonable that Celestia hid her in the dark ages. She literally turned her sister into a fairy tale, why not erase a student and a pregnancy?
I like the idea, and the execution was rather good. Bravo, good story, mate.
