Mockingbirb


A pony of mystery in the darkness. Or I forgot to take the lens cap off. (They/them is fine.)

When Sunset Shimmer was stranded in the human world, only Sven Gallop noticed she was homeless, and offered to help.

But there was a price to pay. There often is.

Had me thinking for a moment that was in fact Sunset's counterpart. This is better though.

Rule of Acquisition Number 285: "No good deed ever goes unpunished."

Sven Gallop being a creepy predator tracks

Yeah, given how old Sunset would have to have been when he found her, that's, uh. Yeah.

The best you can get is she's 16, and he's some hot shot 18-20 year old managerial genius. Still creepy and fucked up, but slightly less than say a 30 year old.

And now we know how Sunset afforded her apartment.

This is far more plausible a story than it seems at first glance, and a nice read too!

I *do* like the touch of her being explicitly a euro pop star. Euro pop is barely acknowledged here in the UK, and we're significantly closer to Europe than the USA. Save for the YT videos and odd bit of merch it's highly unlikely she'd ever be found out. Raises questions on how Human!Shimmer reacts though.

"I'm sorry, darling. But I was thinking, if you have a human counterpart...maybe she could be like the sister you never had. If you're an orphan, I wonder if your human counterpart suffered the same tragic fate. Perhaps you and she, together, could become the family neither of you ever had on your own."

That doesn't sound like a good idea to me. :unsuresweetie:

Sunset grabbed her friend by the shoulder. "Dash, Sven calls me 'Princess' because 'Princess Angel' is MY old stage name, the name I performed under. The reason that singer in the video looks so much like me is, we're the same person. Not just 'twins,' or 'counterparts.' I literally toured Europe, years before you and I were friends."

Damn! :applejackunsure:

"'No of-FENSE,'" Sunset said in a sing-songy tone. "But you're right, Rainbow. Sven is a terrible person, and he's my ex for a reason. Ex-manager, ex-boyfriend, ex-friend. Sure, he did a lot to make me famous under that stage name, and he worked hard as my manager. And, yes, he used every dirty trick in the book, and some that AREN'T in the book, to make it happen. But whenever I tried to stand up for myself, for what I wanted instead of what he told me to want...he and I fought like cats and dogs."

Wait, she dated him once!?!? :pinkiegasp:

"No!" Sunset protested. "A princess is...being a real princess comes from within. It isn't about being looked up to. It's about who you really are. It's about the kind of responsibility that comes from love, not from having an enormous ego. It's about what you would do for pon--I mean, for people even if they didn't know you were helping them."

Now there's something princess Twilight would be proud of. :ajsmug:

"I got so fed up that I left. I walked away, and that put me one step closer to someday making real friends. You and the other girls." Sunset hugged Rainbow.

A great reward in the end. :twilightsmile:
