[Slice of Life][Alternate Universe]
This is a continuation of Luna-tic Scientist's Final Solution (412,892 words, [Dark][Adventure][Sci-Fi])
A SOOT-COVERED SPOILER (including spoilers for the prequel, Days of Wasp and Spider): Ponies were one of several servitor species created by incredibly advanced Diamond Dogs, seen as subsapient livestock. An emergent chaotic entity in the universe's magical substrate removes Fusion Pulse's mind-control conditioning and directly implants knowledge of teleportation into her mind. This eventually cascades into world war, the Dogs literally bombing themselves back to the Stone Age, and Fusion and her sister Gravity Resonance as the last of the alicorns, renaming themselves after the sun and moon respectively.
"... and so we left them for a time, so that they could forget us and learn to stand on their own hooves."
Celestia opened her eyes, the fields of memory replaced with marble, thick carpets, and a wide-eyed unicorn filly staring at her like she'd never seen her before. "Wow..."
Celestia glanced at the clock. "Oh! Goodness me, I didn't realize how late it was. You must be getting terribly bored listening to an old mare prattle on."
"No, no! This is amazing! When I asked to learn about ancient history, I just thought it'd be dates and names. I never imagined..." Her student spread her forehooves in an effort to encompass everything she'd heard. "All that! I'm not sure what all of it was, but what I did understand was really cool!"
That got a flat look from Celestia. "It wasn't cool at the time."
"Well, yeah, but hearing about it was! Were we really slaves to Diamond Dogs?"
"We were. And we never will be again."
"And you shot lasers at everything?"
"Not exactly something I'm proud of now."
"And your name's really Fusion Pulse?"
Celestia shook her head. "I've been called Celestia for much, much longer than I have that. It was the name I was born with, but I haven't thought of myself as Fusion for a long time."
"And you had a sister?"
"Have a sister." Celestia looked out her balcony window. Thankfully, she'd raised the moon out of reflex, presumably some time while recounting the global bombardment. She looked at the craters forming an all-too-familiar profile. "She's been gone for a long time, but if a clever little filly like you helps me, Sunset, we can have her back soon."

Oh yes. I can see Sunset getting the history lessons, and info about Luna, whereas Twilight was carefully kept in the dark.

It's always been my headcanon.
"Well, we saw what happened when I tried just telling my student everything. Let's let this one figure it out on her own."
"Just the parts that made Sunset think you were only using her to get back Luna, right Auntie?"
"... Yes, Cadence. Of course."
Celestia took a deep breath after closing the door. "Oh-kay, Sister Retrieval Attempt #47 is a Go. Alternate student has been pre-positioned and primed. We're cutting it a little tight, but nothing we haven't done before, Sister. Worst case, the forty-eighth time is the charm."
