“Come on, I’ll take you to my place.” Sunset said, putting a hand on Cornelia’s shoulder.
“I have to go too, I’m supposed to help out at the restaurant.” Hay Lin said, giving both Sunset and Cornelia worried looks.
“And I’m supposed to be helping my mom get prep started for tomorrow’s dinner.” Taranee sighed, also clearly worried about what was going on.
“Yeah, I promised to take Chris for some last minute shopping.” Irma groaned, smacking her forehead. “Mom isn’t going to be happy, I’m already running late.”
“It’s ok girls, I’ll be fine. I have the crayons here to help me.” Cornelia said with a playful smirk, motioning to Sunset and Twilight.
“Us crayons have to stick together.” Sunset said as she stuck her tongue out at the blonde.
“See you girls later.” Twilight said, watching Irma a little nervously. Sunset noticed that it wasn’t the first time, but the two actually seemed to get along in the short time they spent here talking.
“Actually, I better go too. I was helping Martin with our project, but he needed to take a break, so I brought Spike for a walk. We’ll be able to finish the bracelet and give it to you before it’s too late tonight so you can put the final enchantments on it.” Twilight said.
“It’s fine, Sparky.” Sunset smiled, “I’ll see you tonight when you come by.”
“See you!” Twilight waved before turning around and headed off with Spike back towards the direction she came from.
“So, how are you really holding up?” Sunset asked as she sat back down in the grass and patted the spot beside her where Cornelia joined her.
“Am I that obvious?” Cornelia asked softly, rubbing at her eyes.
“To the other girls? Probably not. To me though, I’ve been through a lot of crap myself and know what it’s like.” Sunset said, pulling her knees and crossing her arms over them, resting her head there and looking over at Cornelia who fidgeted.
“I tried so hard to be what she wanted!” Cornelia cried, Sunset straightening up to pull the blonde into a side hug.
“You didn’t do anything wrong, Cornelia.” Sunset assured her, “You just can’t live up to some people’s standards and you shouldn’t try, all it will do is tear you apart in the end.”
“You sound like you know by experience.” Cornelia sighed.
“I think I’ve experienced some of what you have, I’ve never been…hit like that. But my life as Will, ever since we came here and my mom got together with Dean, my mom was treating me like crap. I don’t remember any of it, but I’ve read a lot of Will’s journals.” Sunset explained, “A lot of it is painful, and I can feel the emotions when I read them, but I know Susan was being manipulated with mind control.”
“And we just made things worse for you.” Cornelia sighed.
“No, I’m not the Will you knew.” Sunset sighed, “I still don’t know how to feel about that. I lived a whole other life as Sunset and don’t really have any actual memories as her.”
“It doesn’t change the fact that if it wasn’t for my big mouth, Will would never have felt like she had nobody here.” Cornelia sniffed.
“Cornelia, I know about Phobos and I read what Will truly thought of him and you girls.” Sunset explained, “She said she loved you girls but knew you weren’t ready to face off against Phobos, and I agree with her.”
“Hey, we were pretty good.” Cornelia huffed.
“You were pretty lucky, Cornelia. You were barely thirteen when you got your powers, and as much as I like Yan Lin, she dropped the ball with your girls. All of Kandrakar did.” Sunset explained, “You were a group of preteens with magic powers dropped in your laps and told to figure out how to use it with no real instructions. That wasn’t fair for you, it wasn’t fair for Will, and it wasn’t fair to the other girls.”
“I guess.” Cornelia reluctantly agreed.
“It’s true. And while what I’ve seen today shows me you girls are pretty good with what you can do, it also shows me just how much better you would have been with training from day one.” Sunset said.
“That doesn’t change the fact that what I said helped drive Will away and if she is gone, I effectively helped kill her.” Cornelia sobbed out. Sunset pulled the blonde into a more comfortable embrace and rubbed her back.
“Cornelia, I don’t think anything would have changed what happened. Even without what you said, Will blamed herself for what happened with Elyon. She also blamed herself for you girls being dragged into the whole guardian mess and you risking your lives over and over.” Sunset softly said, “She mentioned in her journal that there was no way you girls could have defeated Phobos and she wanted to go face him herself to keep you from getting hurt. She would have gone sooner or later to try and protect you girls, so even if you didn’t say anything to her, things would have still played out the same way.”
“It doesn’t change the fact that I said it!” Cornelia wailed.
“Cornelia, for what it’s worth, I know Will has forgiven you. I can feel it. I can feel that she is at peace and just wants you girls to go on and be happy.” Sunset reassured the blonde.
“I deserve my mom’s hate after the way I acted... I deserve yours too.” Cornelia whimpered in Sunset’s arms.
“I didn’t deserve the way Princess Celestia treated me and you don’t deserve the way your mom treats you.” Sunset told Cornelia.
“She’s that sun princess, right?” Cornelia asked.
“Something like that, yeah. I tried to prove that I was worthy of her love for years as she said she would be my mom when she found me. Instead, all she did was push me away and punish me whenever things happened that weren’t my fault. Especially if a noble’s family was involved. She would never give me a chance to explain and finally told me that she didn’t have a family and couldn’t have a family after telling me on and off that she was my mother.” Sunset said, holding back tears and she told Cornelia about one of the most painful memories in her life next to Anon-A-Miss. “Then she brought in a complete stranger who she happily had her calling herself Auntie. That was one of the most painful, humiliating moments in my life. I know she wasn’t my birth mother, but I can understand a little of what you are going through.”
“It didn’t matter if she was your birth mother or not, that was a crappy thing to do.” Cornelia growled.
“Well, it was a crappy thing that your mother did to you.” Sunset said, “What your mother did was even worse. She didn’t just smack you, she jumped on top of you and started beating you! Why didn’t you let me help?”
“Because some part of me still loves my mother and I don’t want to see her killed.” Cornelia sighed, “I really appreciate you trying though, thank you.”
“Wait, you think I would have hurt your mom?” Sunset asked in shock.
“No, but Shagon might have if my mom went to slap you. She’s a normal human and wouldn’t survive one of his direct attacks.” Cornelia said, “I didn’t see him, but I know he is watching out for you.”
“Okay, I can understand that.” Sunset sighed.
“Can you believe how horrified she was though? That was priceless!” Cornelia giggled as she pulled back away from Sunset. “I’ve never seen her that scared since the last time the credit card machines were down.”
“Alright, that sounds like an interesting story.” Sunset giggled.
“Thanks, Sunset.” Cornelia sighed, wiping the tears from her eyes. “This actually helped.”
“Cornelia, what happened wasn’t your fault. Not Will’s, and not your mom’s.” Sunset asserted, feeling a little like a hypocrite as she believed she just hadn’t been good enough for Celestia. After seeing what happened first hand with Cornelia, she was starting to think differently as she didn’t see how Cornelia could be at fault from what happened. And if it wasn’t Cornelia’s fault, maybe what happened with Celestia wasn’t Sunset’s fault.

At least she coming to terms with what Celestia did. Though hopefully Celestia and sunset will have a long talk about what happened back then.

I also didn't have a problem with Twilight's ascension (Even if it was a little ... hasty), what I have a problem with is that the rest of mane six didn't get the same chance
... oh well it happened,there is always fandom 
,
I heard about the "covid=biological weapon test" theory and it has merit. Unfortunately, many people think about "Could I..." instead of "Should I..." and later we have a real-life case of someone playing "Plague INC Evolved"
, it doesn't matter if it was accidental or on purpose, the media gives many examples of dangers of such catastrophe, even if those examples are zombie movies and games but noooo why use those brain cells at all they are not needed, no sir 
...
Welp, that is another trouble that can be thrown at Elizabeth ... at least I think: I don't know what age is Cornelia, and I don't know for sure what is the age of majority in America (21?) but as far as I know, you can't just kick someone out of the house, especially if that person is under-aged. There could be an argument that Cornelia "willingly" left the house and didn't come back but those are things that lawyers like to bicker about ... so for a group of magical girls with varying power level totally un-important.
1. Cornelia has a point about Shagon potentially pulverizing Elizabeth ... a shame that did not happen
.
.
2. Actually Shagon seems to be messing his job as a guard dog considering what happened at the mall
Well comparing Elizabeth and Celestia is a little unfair, the first is outright malicious and on purpose
, while the second is more of ineptitude and negligence and not on purpose
... but the final "product" is similar
...
Well, at least healing goes forward ... if in a slow and unconventional way.

That I didn't like plus the way they rushed her into ruling.

Eyup, and they will be having a long talk though it won't be for a few more days (story chapter days) but it is coming.

You're going drive us crazy with cliffhangers aren't you.

All of the main six should have had the chance as they often did just as much as Twilight and it couldn't be just because of magic since Cadence was a pegasus before her ascension from what I understand.
That's true, to many idiots getting into science because if they were smart they wouldn't be messing with something like that. As you said there are so many warnings in media and yet idiots decide to play around with stuff that will kill pretty much everyone.
Age of majority here is 18 and Cornelia and the girls are all pretty much 16. And I don't really know the legalities of it since sadly I've heard and seen it happen a lot more than I am comfortable with. I am sure if pushed the parent could get and trouble.
1. Eyup, and a part of me was very tempted to do so.
2. The mall he was there, but the shield kept him away and Sunset teleported them away to quick for him to do anything once it fell.
That is true, between the two Celestia is more incompetent when it comes to relationships while Elizabeth is just a monster in this story. They both ended up causing a lot of the same damage to their daughters though.
Eyup, Cornelia is facing the same feelings in a lot of ways as Sunset so in trying to help Cornelia, Sunset will also end up helping herself some. Of course Cornelia will also be there for Sunset and help however she could.

18 is considered an adult in America. You have to be 21 to drink or even touch alcohol though. That rule has caused problems from time to time. You learn to drive a few years before 18 though. Of course the government doesn't want to rein in law enforcement despite the overwhelming evidence that they need to be reined in asap.
