Ever since the Battle of the band ive been learning what it means to be a good friend here to the others. but I have something else to i need to get off my chest. I know your'e probably busy with Princess duties but ever since we started Writing each other, ive had the strongest urge to come back to Equestria. Its like a deep and unabidding knife wound that finally needs to be healed. I just hope you read this. I feel so stupid Twilight, i never realized it until now. I'm homesick, i think i have been ever since coming here. Writing to you makes it easier but it doesnt take away from the pain of what i did. I hope to rectify that soon though. Until then, Your Friend Sunset Shimmer Dear Twilight, I think that there's something going on with the human version of you. She registered for what we call the Friendship Games. ITs a school competition of academic courses that goes on every four years or so. i never paid attention to them when i first came to this world. I thought they were boring and not worth the effort. Im not as dark as i was then. But i still dont see the point in the competitive aspect, i thought they were supposed to represent the point of our two schools getting along in the facets of friendship. I'm still learning what it means to be a good friend to the girls here. they really miss you by the way, especially Rainbow Dash. She came to me the other night and confessed that she's in love with you. Apparently being a certain way towards someone in the human world gets frowned up at times. Here your expected to like guys, not other girls apparently. That doesnt make it any easier for her. I think its sweet that she can let down her tough tomboy exterior to let her emotions be known. Dash is really loyal to you, but i'm sure you already knew that. Anyway can't wait to hear back from you soon. Anyway, i hope you read this soon Twilight, Your friend Sunset Shimmer Journal Entry #2 Dear Twilight, I hope all is well. The Friendship Games are in full swing, and we've only won one event. But everyone is extremely positive that we can win the next round. The human version of you apparently made a device that can steal magic. Even though i found out later it was because of her scientific curiousity, it still didnt make it easier on anyone. Her pendant even stole the magic from the portal. i really need your help Twilight. I've also come to the belief that the magic contained in the others is starting to change somehow. It still comes out when we play music together. But there is something more to it now. Rarity's magic is coming out more now when she makes clothes for us, Pinkie's is coming out when she throws a party for others, and Dash's comes out when she enters the local street races. Fluttershy's is coming out when she hosts animal conservation functions. I think that their magic is changing to that of the Element bearers from our Equestrian history and legends, but i cant be sure at this moment. I just wish there was another way to get the message to you if your unable to read this message. I really do hope you read this Twilight. Your friendship has really helped me. I just hope you know that. Journal Entry #3 I finally figured out what was happening at the friendships games. The Principal of the other school, Crystal Prep, was forcing human Twilight to enter the Friendship Games against her will. Apparently she had made her pendant to track the mysterious energy she was tracking from Canterlot High. It lead her to the portal and because of that she made it to where it could absorb and contain the magic it picked up on its sensors. She's very smart, the human you i mean, that i find myself harboring the same feelings that Rainbow has for you. Now that the games are over with i find myself needing to amend fences of my own. I hope to see you soon Twilight. Real soon. Journal Entry #4 Well, This is going to be my last entry, at least from this world anyway. I was so happy to see you when you finally came through the portal. I was sad to hear about that Starlight Glimmer though. Messing with the fate of Equestria all because of revenge was more petty than anything i had tried to attempt. Anyway, when you read this, i need you to do something for me, Twilight. Please have Princess Celestia accompany you to the Mirror. Your Friend Sunset Shimmer She could feel the anxiety build within her as she stood in front of the Wondercolts statue. She had felt that longing ever since she had come to the human world all those years ago. Writing to Princess Twilight somehow helped calm her nerves ever since they had become friends after the events of the Fall Formal, and after what happened with the Dazzelings. This was something else though. She really hoped that Twilight had read her last journal entry and had arranged things accordingly. After all it was time for Sunset Shimmer to leave the human world behind. She had said her goodbyes to her friends here anyway. As she stepped through the portal for what would be the last time, she stepped out the other side to warm embrace of Twilight and her pony friends. The first step was cemented now. Now came the second to last steps. Sunset entered the Cutie Map room to the surprise of a certain Royal sister. She could only stand there and feel a thousand emotions flood over her all at once. She had been so stupid for so long and her former mentor surely knew that as well. She could only stand in front of the Princess of the sun and slowly tear up. Celestia had put so much trust in her, and all Sunset did was repay her with jealousy and the arrogant need for power. She had wanted to rule by Celestia's side, but now she realized how unprepared she would of been for a role like that. "I'm..... sorry," Sunset stammered, " I was so stupid back then." She beared herself for the worst, and got something she didn't expect, but openly received none the less. "My dear Sunset, I forgive you," Celestia said in between noticeable sobs, " But it was never your fault." And it was true. It wasn't really Sunset's fault for the most part. Celestia felt she had failed Sunset as a teacher and a friend. It was one of the most painful things she ever had to do when it came to banishing her student like that. Now all that was in the past. NOw for once in her life Sunset Shimmer knew she was back where she belonged. And Celestia was glad to have her back by her side. Now they could start over. The two hugged as if there was no tomorrow. She never wanted to let go. For Sunset, her journey was finally over. She'd left all her fears and doubts in the warmth and radiance of the Sun God's loving embrace. She, the former student to the Princess of sun had finally done it. Sunset Shimmer had come home. "I'm finally home."
