This story is a sequel to Six Months
After almost losing her girlfriend due to her copy of this world, Sunset Shimmer is curious to find out about her human counterpart. However, nothing could have prepared for what she is about to learn.
I borrowed the story of this guy and used as a prequel. If you want to read more about SunShy then I recommend to go reading his stories A chance and Six months. I'll give my priority to the drama in this story.
Special thanks to:
Krickis, who made this story 20% cooler.

Glad to see a sequel still loved to see the reactions to the others on finding out the truth.
Wonder if Rainbow punched herself after finding out everything.
Did you get his permission to do that?
7535730 Yes, he asked for my permission.
7535878 OK. Just checking, because sometimes they don't and it causes problems.
MORE PLZ!!
7535730 OHMYGOSH MyrhrilMoth COMMENTED, MyrhrilMoth NOTICED.
IT MUST BE THE MOST AWESOME COMMENT EVER!!!
...
OHMYGOSH, AWESOME!
7535695 reactions of the girls in the next chapter.
Question to everybody: Do you think that the intro is too hard to read? I used no spacing because Pinkie is writing but I'm not sure...
7540031 Please be more specific.
This is a journal written by Pinkie pie (as you may notice for the rambling writing) and also is a recap of the prequels.
This story is the continuation of the story written by one other user.
But I'm starting to think that you only meant to be humorous about the last part of the journal. I'm kinda dull sometimes.
Oh, well. Seen your page, you have some nice covers for your stories. Did you draw them?
I see where this is going.
Well it could of been far worst, Apple Jack and Rainbow could foudn the human Sunset and punched her.
Sure police would been called in and uggghh!
So much SunShy fluff! My heart is doing Twi's happy dance in my chest! Update soon please!
Oh gosh, the suspense is killing me.
So Principal Celestia had a girl that was identical to her daughter attend her school for this long and she never mentioned this surreal coincidence to anyone? She just treated it like it was completely normal?
7577602 I was thinking about writing a scene where Principal Celestia and Shimmy talked about it, probably gonna write it but I'm not sure. Point is, they look similar and have the same name but that's it. Especially when Sunset arrived, she was a completely different person from her counterpart. And you can't suspect of somebody just because she looks perfectly like you daughter. Also, in my head she did mention it before, but as I said it's not a crime to look like another person. So may it be a surreal coincidence, what would anybody do about it?
The only crucial point would be the fact that Sunset managed to get in the school without a proper control of identity, but that should have been done anyway (thanks a lot Hasbro). I have a personal explanation about how she was able to attend the school and lie about her origins, do you think I should write about it?

I suppose it isn't exactly a great conversation starter to go up to someone and say they look just like your daughter. But it seems likely that Shimmy would bring this subject up with her mom after having this encounter. I suppose it would be nice to see how Sunset navigated her application, and to see the Principal's first thoughts upon seeing her.
If Princess Celstia is Sunset's mother...then...OH GOT DANG IT CELESTIA SERIOUSLY!!
It was at that moment , hombre que ríe knew ... there is no next chapter.

7605361 There is, and it's coming soon.
Sorry for the waiting...
I'm surprised that Sunset literally worships Celestia and has trouble believing that Celestia is her mother, but as a reader, I must respect your headcanons. The way I see it, after her redemption, Sunset respects Celestia and is proud to be her student, but does not necessarily see her as the living example of justice, kindness, purity, and wisdom. Then again, your headcanon actually does make sense, as many older generation North Koreans truly do worship their leaders as gods, since they were raised from that perspective and have never considered otherwise. It's quite possible that Equestrians are similar to North Koreans in this regard.
Besides that personal preference of mine, this story is great! I love how you introduce Rainbow's and Applejack's personal issues with Fluttershy's relationship with Sunset. And I'm a Sunshyne shipper, so I love it even more.

I think it's more that she always saw her as a mother figure, and trusted her as such. But now she knows that the pony she placed so much love and trust into abandoned her as a baby, and then never saw fit to tell her the truth even after she took her under her wing. All the bad things in her life, growing up in an orphanage, feeling unloved and unwanted, striving to prove herself to her teacher, turning cruel and manipulative out of her belief that she deserved to be a princess (that wouldn't have happened if she had known she already was one), all of it because Celestia chose not to be her mother.
i wonder if the reason the girl doesn't go to school is that her mirror counterpart ruined her life? plus the whole demon thing and being mistaken for evil from the actions of another eesh.
7626523 Thanks for clearing things up! This make a lot more sense now. It certainly is an earth-shattering revelation for poor Sunset. For now, we can only begin to imagine why Celestia would choose to do so. Perhaps out of shame of having a child out of wedlock? We can't be sure now, that is!
7626524 Probably not.
First, it's kinda awkward to go to a school where your mother is the principal. But that aside, she may just happen to live in a different school district.
But no, it cannot be for the reasons you explain. The Sunset of this world has been here her whole lifetime, and if she attended another school already, she would not bother switching to CHS. The presence of the Equestrian Sunset is not going to change much.

Chapter 3
Are we all just gonna ignore the fact that Rarity is German in this?
We are?
Okay.
7632114 Actually, Rarity has the habit of borrowing exclamations from other languages.
Like with Gubby Gums (I wrote it right?) she speaks latin. "Et tu, Gubby Gums?"
Or in the Saddle Row Review, she speaks German when Coco Pommel sneezes.
That gave me the idea, since "shame on you" was mainstream. And it looked fun.
7634175 ohhhhh. Know I get it. Still would make an interesting headcanon.
Really liking the story so far, but one thing really bugged me this chapter. After all the crap Sunset took from them (and still is from Rainbow), when she's clearly very distressed about something and kept getting pushed, when she justifiably snapped and immediately tried to apologize, Applejack jumps on her, threatening her (while she was trying to apologize), not even giving her the slightest chance to say her side, and almost assaults her. Then she acts like she has the moral high ground over Sunset and Rainbow. Sure, Sunset yelling at Fluttershy was wrong, but she practically had her life shattered and still tried to apologize. Not to mention this is the second time in less than a week in this universe that this happened (with Applejack involved). I really hope she gets called out for this.
7712006 Sir Blaze, your comment is hugely appreciated.
But I digress.
Really, it's touching to read such opinions from the readers.
You are right to say that Applejack shouldn't have threatened Sunset like that, in any situation, but you must consider two things:
First, even if Sunset WAS having a really bad time none of the other girls knew (only Pinkie suspected it). Anyhow, that still doesn't make ok to impose aggressively on your girlfriend.
Second, Applejack
mayhave overreacted and she stopped Sunset's apologies, but you must consider that she was driven by strong emotion that blinded her and, if you read carefully the Dash-Applejack dialogue, you'll understand what I'm talking about.Those, atleast, are my excuses for my (poor) writing.
I hope you'll keep reading the story (and keep commenting if you like to), the next chapter is almost finished.
Last thing: I suspect you're a Sunset disciple (which is good) so I should inform you that she'll go through and hard time soon.
But if you looked at the cover then you should know that already.
However, I promise a happy ending. Kind of. Dunno. Let's see, shall we?
7712064 Sorry if I wasn't clear with my comment. I'm almost certain at this point that Applejack has a crush on Fluttershy, and I have no problem with stories kicking the crap out of Sunset. My worry is that this will take the route of the Holiday Special comic or many other Sunset fics where her friends (usually Rainbow or Applejack) act absolutely horrible and get off scot-free. The other issue is that it seemed like AJ and the others saw the start of the argument and Fluttershy pressuring Sunset. AJ did the exact same thing she did in the previous fic and showed no remorse, even after being told Sunset is distressed, instead going off on Rainbow.
Anyways, this is a really good fic. It's well paced, the subplots aren't intrusive but still have an impact. The writing itself isn't the best, but it's still clear and very light on errors (though the perspective switches could be clearer, and some in some of the dialogue, it's hard to keep track of who's talking). With the exception of Rarity, every character feels like they contribute and their personalities are clear. Sunset had a strange moment where she was happy about her friends willing to accuse her, and while it does make sense, it is awkwardly conveyed. From what's out so far, I'd rate this fic around the same place as the really good romance one shots. With some cleaning up, I could easily see this story end up just a tier or two below the god tier Sunset stories. Currently, if Long Road to Friendship, Fractured Sunlight, and Gunsmoke were 10/10, I'd put this at around a 6.5/10, with the potential to reach an 8 or 9. Can't wait to see where this goes.
Uh oh...
Hope she just goes back through the portal. I honestly wouldn't want to see Celestia just find her after that. Twilight might find her or she might teleport near another one of the 6 but I'd think she'd do better going back through and trying to make sense of it all herself for a while. Great chapter; very emotional.
Sighs!
What ever excuse will never be good enough, if she abandoned Sunset and then raised as a STUDENT not her child a student.
Then bucked that up too!
I don;t see them ever getting together as family or student nor do i want them to, Sunset doesn't need a sad excuse of a teacher and PATHIC excuse fo a failure of a mother.
Turns out Sunset teleported to where the pony!Fluttershy is.
7715873
Then she was a coward, and should of gotten rid of the Nobles long tiem ago she had centuries to do so.
I seen and read stores ike you said, there was other ways to handle it.
Would be ten times harder but worth it in the end.

Meanwhile, in a room far far away, the author is reading your comments with delight while also eating popcorns. He opens a drawer and takes out two items: a list and pencil. With the pencil, he fills the empty checkbox near the line "Write a chapter that will make argue two readers in the comment section".
Ok, sorry. But seriously, it's so satisfying to see people getting warmed up on your work as a writer.
However, I feel like I have to point out that, in this story, I try to represent the characters as close as possible to my interpretation of them from the show, the same goes for the world settings. If you think that they're acting OOC, it's because I'm incompetent.
You'll have to wait for the last arc of the story before Celestia's motivations are revealed. In the next chapters, we'll see how Sunset deals with this confrontation and how this will affect her attitude towards her friends and her lover.
I hope that you'll read everything before judging, but it makes me happy
to read your expectation and your reactions. So feel free to comment. I hope to read your feedback about the next chapters.

Considering thsi si Celestia, and hwo good she at making others do her work for her. She can handle a bunch fo stuck up snobs, and could handled them easily.
She not some recent appointed ruler, she been ruling for thousands of years.
she should taken care fo them so they wouldn;t have such power or means to hurt her and what ever kids she had what ever it was planned or a .....accident.
7716591
Do look forard to what excuses she has. She still failed her child big time no matter what.
7716248 The nobility seems to be just a hold over from Unicornia. In the show itself, there doesn't seem to be any actual laws and the nobility hasn't been shown to do anything but be rich and try to be popular. The only actual political thing I can think of from the show is the meetings with other countries' ambassadors and rulers. Oh and rewriting history (seriously, every major villain was wiped from the history books alongside Luna and the Crystal Empire, not to mention Sunset herself was also conspicuously never mentioned until she stole the crown).
7716591 I don't think any of your characters are OOC. Celestia doesn't have a set character in the show, and while Sunset is snappier in this than she has been in the movies, she hasn't been put into this kind of turmoil before either (besides the Holiday Special, but the comics aren't canon and that thing was horrible for everything except fanfic material), so it can't really be called OOC.
7547616 Did you see this far?
I just want to know how predictable I am.
Oh Man! Sunset really blew up, not that I blame her, just how she blew up is bad.
What ever the reason Celestia has doesn't matter anymore as the effects it caused, She hurting badly and and lashing out hard, she feels betrayed by Fluttershy for telling them.
....heh...The Road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Not sure what Celestia told but I really hope Principal Celestia finds out, could see her running out the door jump into her car drive straight to the portal jump out dive in.
Race to Princess Celestia and SLAP! then proceed to scream at her for abandoning her child....wait hoof smack her and yell at her.
Also dissappointed in Twilight seriously...Hello! Twilight remember the Wedding how a Fake Candance fooled every pony incudling her HER AUNT who raised her for years.
While Twilight started to figure it out in a few encounters not to mention Candance magic is pink not green at the time.
Can't wait for the next chapter thou worry about AppleJack seeing she has a thing for Flutters I'm guessing i really hope she doesn;t act out on them at the worst time..and i just jinked it...DOH!
Love it. Always did hate the fact that a mere explanation could make everything okay despite feelings held for years. Looking forward to the next one.
There is only one thing I can say, after all that: Ouch!
I agree with Celestia, everyone should have let Sunset cool down. The explanations will come afterwards. Those shouldn't solve everything, but they can give some perspective.
Great chapter. Thanks for the update.
You know, whatever "good reason" Celestia had to abandon Sunset I am pretty sure if Twilight had said it things would've been even worse...
And I hope Sunset and Shy won't break up after all this crazy storm that have become Sunset last few days.
Yes Fluttershy, tell your friends Sunset's very personal secret just after she was betrayed by someone close to her. Then lead your friends to basically ambush her the same way they did when you thought she was cheating on you. Especially when one of those friends assaulted her and the other almost did again afterwards. Then, stick around just long enough to shatter her trust before leaving her. Congratulations, you took the worst possible course of action due to peer pressure... The only way she could've made things worse is to leave Applejack and Rainbow with Sunset. To be frank, everyone but Twilight (and still arguable that she did) deserved at least how much Sunset exploded. She managed to stay calm long enough to send Fluttershy away, though Rainbow and Applejack getting away without being called out annoyed me. Then again, they would probably just attack Sunset again as soon as she starts laying into them. At the very least Rarity and Pinkie realized something was bugging Sunset, not that they did anything tactful towards her. Hopefully Rainbow and Applejack will get theirs later, and Fluttershy will actually be able to talk things out (and maybe get called out herself). While Sunset should probably apologize for the things she said (though not for why she said them), having them sit in a bit of what they've been dishing out would be great. It was another great chapter.
More. Please
~E.B~
Oh if only fluttershy had gone with her I can see it now smile hd in all its unholy glory
With friends like Dash, who needs enemies? I mean, you are suffering 'cause you just found out your entire life was a lie and one of your supposed friends is trying to make your girlfriend dump you for someone else... Hurray for loyalty.
The scene with Pinkie and Rares was very cute by the way.
I hope things get better for Sunny.
Just so you know, I'm gonna be holding out for SunShyneJack for the entirety of this story now.
I got a bad feeling...
That's odd... I'm beginning to think that both Sunset Shimmers are from different far terminals of the portal.
