Sunset Shimmer knows she's not normal. Normal people can't levitate objects or shoot energy from their hands. When strange creatures come looking for her, Sunset begins her path back to her true home and the birthright that awaits her.
Shortly after being accepted by Twilight's friends, Sunset begins to wonder if they are just being nice or if she is really their friend. She goes to Fluttershy to ask for a strange favor: will she give her a hug?
Sunset needs someone to help fix her jacket, and she only knows one person who sews clothing. Unfortunately, she doesn't feel she deserves to be asking favors just yet. Rarity explains that, with friendship, favors don't need to be earned.
Principal Celestia always has wings in her dreams. So when a magical clash in front of her school sets her phantom wings to itching, her life turns upside down. And she hasn't even heard about Equestria yet.
During a routine visit to Equestria to see Princess Twilight, Sunset decides to bring her pet Ray along with her. Only... she wasn't quite expecting what he would turn into on the other side of the portal...
