That was beautifully done.

I was just about to post my story and I see this. Definitely putting this on to my read list:heart:

MY TEARS STOP SOMEONE'S CUTTING EMOTIONAL ONIONS

Out of all the most elusive elements within the FIM series, even under the subject of 'Equestria Girls', most of Sunset Shimmer's life is still a mystery. Course, we know what lead her to be in the human world in the first place and that she too was Celestia's prized student, but we never found out about her life BEFORE she became Celestia's student. One of the biggest notes the series never covered: We never found out if Sunset had a family she left behind or if she had 'any' family she left behind. Some rumors have speculated that she and Sunburst are partly related, which would make sense given they have 'sun' in their names plus like this story we don't know about Sunburst's dad, only assuming that his mother is single or possibly a widow. Still, for a matter of interpretation about Sunset and her relationship with her father... I will say this is a beautiful effort.

I can imagine Father's Day is pretty rough for Sunset Shimmer, though it can't be any harder for Applejack (Who at this point seems okay, even though I'm sure she lost her parents in the human world too). It would've been bad enough if they haven't been in touch since Sunset became Celestia's student and was corrupted by a selfish desire for more power, but to have gone through all that as possibly a result of her father's passing... That has to be rough. Still, it's nice that she has friends to let her know that despite all the mistakes she's ever made if her father was watching her from a higher place, seeing how much she's done to prove herself a better woman, he will always love her and be proud of her.

Well, 10294920 pretty much said what I was gonna said so I'll just say that thus was an enjoyable read. Certainly leagues above my Father's Day story. Good job:heart:

This guy is one of the most talented writers you'll ever meet, and a guy I'm proud to work with on several projects. You can learn from him, SunTwi. You should even see some of his other projects.

After all this time sunset’s life is still a mystery.

Sad but true. We never learned much about Sunset apart from the fact she was Celestia's former pupil. We don't know if she has parents or siblings or if she was always an ambitious pony when she was younger. Not to mention there were these rumors about her character, but not even 'Equestria Girls' really went deeper about her. So, for the time being, her life's merely been left to interpretation.

A shame this has so few votes. Touching story.

I'm surprised that Sunset neither confirmed or denied she even knew her mother.
