Sunset Shimmer is trotting down the hallway, feeling gloomy. It's 9:45 in the morning at the School of Friendship. Sunset Shimmer sees different creatures of all kinds entering the school, talking about how excited they are to learn more about friendship.
"I can't wait for Professor Discord's exercises and field trips," A Changeling named Kevin says.
"Trixie's class has to be the best one. Headmare Glimmer makes her appearances to watch us grow together as friends while helping Trixie with demonstrations for team exercises," An earth pony named Caramel says.
Sunset Shimmer decides to avoid the old and new students that come into the main hallway. She decides to go on a different route to avoid the attention of some creature checking on her.
"Why am I feeling like this? It is a new school year for me. I should be excited about the new friends I made already." Sunset Shimmer thought to herself.
Sunset continues to trot down the hallway when she inadvertently enters Discord's classroom. Sunset looks up to see floating desks made of cotton candy.
"Hello, Sunset," Discord waves at his desk. He's drinking a barrel of chocolate milk.
"Hey, Discord..," Sunset sounds a bit sad.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" Discord notices Sunset's behavioral pattern. Something is amiss with Sunset.
Sunset sighs sadly and sits on a desk made of marshmallows. "No..," Sunset admits her feelings. "I feel out of place being here, and I don't know why. It's a new school year, and yet, I feel that something is missing."
Discord hovers to Sunset Shimmer. "Do you miss your old friends in that other world?"
Sunset nods. "I miss my friends, Discord. I don't want to associate myself with the counterparts that ruined Spike's life here. I know that they're at peace with him but, Twilight Sparkle lied to me. She gave me a guilty conscience that made me think about the other Sunset Shimmer from the other world. Thanks to Twilight, she made me believe I was stealing the life away from that Sunset Shimmer. What should I do?"
Discord takes it to heart and thinks about a way to help Sunset Shimmer. He needs a second opinion on what to do; he takes a look at the clock. It's 9:50 in the morning.
"Follow me, Sunset," Discord hovers out of the classroom.
"Okay," Sunset Shimmer follows Discord.
Starlight Glimmer sees that it's 9:53 in the morning. Starlight decides to wait for another 10-15 minutes before instructing the students to their classes as she did months ago. She hears her door knocking.
"Come in," Starlight says.
Discord opens the door, he and Sunset Shimmer enters Starlight's office and closes the door. "Headmare Glimmer, have a few minutes?" Discord asks. He sounds serious.
"Of course. What's the situation?" Starlight looks up at Discord.
"It's me, Headmare Glimmer," Sunset said. She sees Starlight turning to her.
"What seems to be the problem, Sunset? You can tell me anything, and I'll help you any way I can." Sunset slightly smiles then frowns. Starlight sees how severity the situation is.
"I feel lost, Starlight. I miss my friends from the world I left behind. I don't want to associate myself with the counterparts that ruined Spike's life. I know that they're at peace with Spike. Twilight Sparkle lied to me and gave me a guilty conscience. Twilight's words scarred me into thinking I was robbing the life out of the Sunset Shimmer from the human world. I didn't get to say goodbye to my friends. I packed up and left," Sunset looks down. "What should I do?"
Starlight thinks about it for a few moments. Starlight is putting herself in Sunset's hooves and how to tackle the situation. After thinking about it, she starts nodding, agreeing with her solution.
"Alright, I'll tell you what; you should go back to the human world one last time. Be with those friends of yours, then come back in a week. That way, you have a proper farewell, and the other Sunset Shimmer can have her life back, knowing that everything will be okay in the end."
Sunset Shimmer smiles at the idea. To see her friends again after being away for so long. She walks up to Starlight. "Thank you," Sunset hugs Starlight Glimmer.
"I'm sure Princess Celestia and Luna would approve it so you can close that chapter properly. When you do come back, Discord will catch you up to speed with what you missed."
"I'll take Sunset Shimmer to see Princess Celestia and Luna, to see if they approve of this," Discord said.
"Go ahead. As for your first class, I'll be covering for you with a trust exercise."
"Thanks, Headmare Glimmer."
"Don't mention it, my friend," Starlight Glimmer trots past her friends and goes to the main hallway.
"Let's get going," Discord snaps his claw and teleports him and Sunset to Canterlot Castle. They arrive in the dining room for a late breakfast.
"Discord, Sunset. Want to join us for breakfast?" Princess Luna proposes.
"No. There's something I want to ask of you two," Discord said.
"What is it, Discord?" Princess Celestia turns to him after eating a slice of banana waffle.
"Celestia, Luna..," Sunset approaches the two. "Before I came here for Twilight's purpose to bring Spike back, Twilight lied to me about the law about creatures staying where they originated from and gave me a guilty conscience about robbing the life of Sunset Shimmer from the human world. I never got to say farewell to my friends back in that world, and it's been eating me alive."
"You wish to return to the human world, pay your friends a visit one more time?" Princess Luna asks.
"Yes," Sunset nods. "Please.., allow me to return for one week. To have a proper send-off so I can close that chapter in peace."
Princess Celestia turns to her sister. She and Luna nod in agreement and understanding. "Very well, Sunset. Luna and I will allow you to return to the human world for one week. After that, your new life can begin properly here."
Sunset Shimmer smiles widely. "Thank you, Princesses!" Sunset Shimmer graciously thanks.
"You're welcome. We'll see you next week so you can tell me all about it," Princess Celestia says.
"Me as well," Princess Luna says. "I would like to hear all about it. However."
"What do you mean, however?" Sunset is confused with Luna's statement.
"When you do return, please allow your friends' counterparts another chance. I believe you should hold no grudges. Considering Spike the Fairy accepting the apologies from his tormentors."
Sunset was about to respond when she thinks about Luna's statement thoroughly. She nods as every creature deserves to have a second chance unless they are not worth it. Her case being, Twilight does not get her forgiveness; she doesn't deserve any redemption.
"Alright," Sunset Shimmer takes a deep breath. "When I return next week, I'll give the counterparts a chance. It'll be comforting to have familiar faces as my friends."
"Thank you," Princess Luna and Celestia say in unison. They hope it's a clear path for forgiveness.
"Thank you for your time, Princesses," Discord bows in respect and honor; Something he doesn't do.
"You're welcome," Princess Celestia and Luna say in unison.
"Let's go," Discord snaps his claw, teleporting him and Sunset to the Castle of Friendship where the portal is. Discord claps his claw and paw three times to activate the portal. "There you go. It should lead you back to..," Discord doesn't remember where the portal will take Sunset too.
"Canterlot High School. I'll spend my last week there with my friends, and I'll be back next week as promised."
"Good," Discord takes a deep breath. "Have a good time, roommate. The portal will be active until you come back. Don't make me come after you when your week is up."
"Don't worry. I'll be back. See you next week, Professor Discord," Sunset Shimmer steps in the portal.
"Have fun," Discord takes an umbrella and opens a window. The winds carry him to the School of Friendship.
That's a good chapter with a proper send-off for sunset shimmer giving her a week back on earth and making peace for the main 6 of the EG, nicely done. Also, I'll be checking it out sequel fic as well, the Horror month is fast approaching hope it's good. I'll be waiting for the next exciting chapter of Spike The Fairy I'll stay tuned. until then Peace.👆

Cool, thanks.
10992652
you're welcome, PonyJoel.🍺
Good sendoff for Sunset here, glad she's tackling the problem caused by Deceitful head-on!
Was surprised her part of the story will be covered in a sequel series, looking forward to that when it comes out!
Interesting. I wonder what this six-part sequel is called.
Luna has a point. If Spike the Fairy can forgive, but not become friends anymore, so can Sunset.
As for Twilight, forgiveness and redemption needs to be earned, not taken. At least, unlike her, the girls have enough common sense to stop and except the things they can't change. It seems to me that Twilight is afraid of change if she's willing to be driven by insanity.
10992681
Indeed. Twilight is a Tragedy Villain in the making. This will get ugly for her to the end.🍨
10992687
Which is why I'm wondering how her parents will react to this. I imagine Flurry Heart will be reduced to tears out of fear of her insane aunt.
10992691
Well, Twilight's parents and family members will face the sad Truth when Shining Armor's birthday is coming soon.
10992710
His birthday better not be on Halloween aka Nightmare Night. Cause Twilight Velvet's fury alone is scary as hell.
10992718
Well, Shining Armor had to suck it up and brace himself from the wrath from his mother.😨 also it will be Funny as hell if Shining Armor's birthday is on Halloween day. Ha Ha Ha.
Again is it a bad thing or not? If it's a bad thing, which I am more willing to believe since your reasons for why she is harming other sunset are nonsensical, then she should just return and forget what Twilight told her. If it's a good thing and somehow she really is harming other Sunset shouldn't see be thankful Twilight brought it to her attention. It seems like she is trying to have it both ways, believing It's true but it's wrong of Twilight to bring it up when she was harming someone else. You would think a redeem person like her would be grateful to finally learn she was harming her counterpart and instead of blaming the one who brought it up she would focus on doing what she can to make up for it. just my thoughts. it's just another excuse to hate Twilight when her abuse of Spike again is reason enough.
Again don't see how she was robbing the life of the other Sunset and your reasons don't add up. It's just an excuse to add another character that really hasn't done anything important enough to warrant it yet. We'll see if she plays an important role in the future but as of now I stand by bringing here was completely unnecessary.
Good chapter, I like what you did with sunsets situation.
10992765
Well, let's wait and see how this plays out. It's up to PonyJoel to decide the fate of Sunset shimmer of returning to earth to spend a week with her friends at Canderloit High for the last time. It will be at her sequel of Sunset's side of her story as well. Will have to look out for that story when it's come out.🍺
so sunset if finally getting closer on this. and who knows . we jest might figger out what happened to her counter part.
10992861
let's wait and see how it unfolds the six-chapter sequel of sunset on her part of her story.🍜
10993006
yeah. that is true.
10992677
There's a reason for that however, I can't say why.
10992769
Thank you.
