Forgotten
Sunset was shaking, tears streaming from her eyes. “Mom...” Her voice was a shuddering sob. She had been holding this breakdown in for a while now. Going to Equestria had been her best tactic to avoid a harsh probable truth. Then she had needed to hurry to fix things before it was too late.
The fact that her phone had not missed any calls or received any text messages confirmed her fears. Celestia and Luna had forgotten her. Chrysalis had forgotten her. Discord had forgotten her.
She had not tried to approach her mother at school, her friend's reactions had been painful enough.
Now she was stumbling down a street she'd left behind long ago. Thankful she could remember the way, crying and trembling as she trod methodically. She had lost her family, their memory stolen. Would they remember now? Could she bear to see their faces blank if she tried to go home?
Her heart couldn't take it. Even now the terrible voice in her head was whispering that any effort to continue was pointless. That it would be doing everyone a favour if she was simply gone, the girls had easily lived without her. Her Mom hadn't worried for her.
A logical part was crying out that magic had stolen memories, that people had unwillingly left her. But it was all too much after such an emotionally draining two days and now Sunset was seeking the only place left to her now.
The rusted fences were still up. The old building still stood. Morose, Sunset kicked the railing aside and clambered through the fence. Back to the derelict building where she belonged.
-*-
“Sunset!” Celestia had been sat reading but she abandoned her book on the couch. She'd not seen Sunset since the night before her beach trip. Sunset had left earlier than usual but now, two days later, she had not seen Sunset at all.
“Why didn't I know!” She nearly wailed in panic. She could only draw a blank, recalling she had seen Sunset in school but never close. The teen had avoided her in the building, another strange thing that had not raised any concern at the time.
Two days she had returned home from school without her daughter. Two days she had not thought of Sunset at all. “What the hell is going on!”
“Celestia?” Luna called out. It wasn't like her sister to curse. She found the other woman frantic in the lounge, attempting to use her phone.
“Sunset is missing.” Celestia said, an edge to her voice Luna had never heard.
“I'll call Chrys.” She picked up her own phone and called her partner quickly. It looked like Celestia's call had also connected as she spoke to someone.
“Luna? Hey babe.” Chrysalis began.
“Sunset hasn't been home for two days Chrys. Something weird must've been going on. We both only realised today.” Luna was keeping a lid on her own panic. Celestia needed her to keep a level head.
“I'll get looking through my resources. I'll call if anything comes up.” There was a breath from Chrysalis, almost a sigh. “Hang tight love. We'll find her.”
The call ended and Luna looked to her sister. “Applejack, thank you for this. We can all start looking.” Celestia was talking on the phone but was putting her phone away shortly after.
“There was magic again. A student had removed everyone's positive memories of Sunset. Applejack told me that the memories were returned today not too long ago. She thought Sunset had headed home but she is going to get the girls out looking.” Celestia almost collapsed to the couch. Tears streaming down her face.
“More magic... I do wish it was more beneficial than quite so hurtful.” Luna rubbed her forehead. “We need to start looking.”
“The magic took Sunset's memories right back to before she came here.” Celestia spoke quietly. “She thought she was a pony again. She was all alone for two days and then she was thrown into a frightening new world...” Celestia's voice cracked and Luna could only take her into an embrace.
“Chrys is looking, the girls are looking. We'll find Sunset. Do you have an idea on where to start?” Luna ignored her fear from the past, of the last time a family member had been missing. She would pay for it later, but right now Sunset and her sister needed her.
“The girls are looking at the school and the places they like.” Celestia said, taking a shuddering breath.
“Chrys is using her access to things to take a look in town.” Luna added.
“Applejack didn't see Sunset go through the portal.” Celestia held onto her sobs with great effort, but she was still tearful. She paused, thinking a moment. “I know where to look.”
-*-
It was dark by the time the women reached the abandoned building, it made the old structure look foreboding. “Please be here.” Celestia whispered, recalling her words the past winter when she first took Sunset in. “Please be alright...”
The fence was parted where Sunset had gained entry before, Celestia wanted to take it as a sign, but it had been months since her daughter had left the property. She picked her way through the overgrown surroundings to the door, still intact with the doorway closed. It opened at Celestia's touch.
“Please Sunset.” Celestia spoke aloud this time. Her visit now was piled on with the concern a mother had for her child. She had the presence of mind to use the assistive light on her phone to get through the building to the stairs.
The clever markings on the stairway still glowed but the dark office didn't look promising. Climbing as fast as she dared, Celestia pushed open the door and virtually charged through the sad living space to where Sunset had once laid her head.
“Sunset!” Relief crashed around Celestia, her light illuminated the unmistakeable red and gold hair of her daughter. She was wrapped in one of the left behind blankets, sat on the futon that had been her bed.
“Sunset?” Celestia had not gotten a reply and her worry began to rise again. She stepped closer.
“No one. All alone...” Sunset said in a low voice, one that had an undertone reminiscent of her unfortunate past.
“I'm here sweetheart. Come home.” Celestia stood close and turned her torch away so as not to dazzle the girl.
“What home?” Sunset asked, looking up. It made Celestia gasp, fear grasping her heart with icy cold claws.
Green on black eyes regarded her.

...well, $#%*!
Wallflower Blush...youz in trouble....
I was wondering if you’d do something with Forgotten Friendship, but that kind of cliffhanger is just cruel. I really hope there’s another chapter out soon.
...shit...
I....uhhh wow talk about emotional whiplash. This new development kind of came out of nowhere.
GOT DAMMIT WALLFLOWER! She better be punished rather then just easily forgiven in this story!!
please update soon just dont leave things on this for long no jokes about being evil or anything just please i legit need to see this resolved quick
While I suspected that Sunset would be emotionally unstable after what happened .... this I did not expect.
Curse you for kicking me right in the feels!
Oh... crap!
Sunset's line at the end reminded me of Raven from the Teen Titans episode when Starfire winds up twenty years in the future, and sees what Raven looks like without any friends.
Nooooooooooooo! I did not see this coming.
Cue Mama Bear Celestia in 3, 2, 1. She is going to get very protective of her girl and I don’t think Wallflower is going to like the results.
Oh you plothole! What a GREAT twist! Bravo!
So, why are Sunset's eyes green on bla--!!

Oh sh
OH GOD THIS WAS...PLEASE UPDATE SOON! YOU CANT LEAVE US LIKE THIS!
I have a sneaking suspicion you grinned when u posted this. Also, it's obvious that sunset hasn't gone full on demon, it's more...sorrow than anything. I can't wait to see what you've done! Great plot twist! Wallflower might be in some serious heat with the principal and vice principal.

I agree about the cruelty of a cliff hanger.
Poor Sunset, she's been through so much. More than even VP Luna probably had to deal with.

OH MY GOD YOU ARE SO RIGHT!

Agreed on all accounts
and with this Wallflower dug his own grave
Wallflower better have her will and testament.
ooooohhh dats dirty man
Wallflower’s expulsion will be pretty tame compared to the attention she won’t want to get.
wonder if she's going to think it's the princess that kicked her out and not the principal who took her in.
I know I already commented earlier, but this almost feels like it deserved a full blown story of its own. Still excited for the rest.
In Wallflower’s defense I’m reasonably sure that at no point was her goal getting Shimmer corrupted by dark magic.

Wallflower is a girl
Oh shit
All the work that Sunset, her friends, Celestia and the rest of her family have put in to let Sunset know that she has a real family undone in a moment and beyond their control. Thank you Cirrus Sky for ripping our hearts out.
Nooooooooo! Not a cliffhanger
I don't whether to hug you for giving us a interesting chapter or hit you for making me almost cry while reading this and then ending with a cliffhanger.
Me: Oh an update.😊
Tittle: forgotten😇
Me: ....Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!😭
Family: Either she lost on her match on her game something bad happened in one of her stories.😑
Say whaaaatttt 😲😲😲
Interesting; I wonder what brought out Demonset?

The two are not mutually exclusive. You can hug him, while hitting him.
wallflower blush bad job 😒
Came back cause rereading another story reminded me of these chapters after Forgotten Friendship. Man these are good.
Sure if guess by the title this chapter took place in my least fav eqg special forgotten friendship. Sigh
Figured that's where she'd going this tradegy going on thx to wallflower.
Wait how does she remember all of a sudden!?!?!?!?
Wait I'm confused, did Sunset manage to reason with her friends and stop wallflower and that after the memories were free she fled them like they still forgotten here!?!???
Oh no! I hope it isn't what I think it is!!!!!
