Epilogue (Edited)

Sunset and Fluttershy walked into school Monday morning. They were talking, and it looked as if Sunset didn’t even get beat up. Her face looked a lot better, due both to natural healing and the added help of makeup.

“So your Celestia actually was able to visit you?” Fluttershy asked as they walked to her locker.

“Yeah. Apparently, with the help of Princess Luna and Twilight, she was able to cross dimensions to get into my dream.”

“I don’t know, Sunset. That sounds kind of far-fetched. You were beaten into unconsciousness. Are you sure it wasn’t a dream?” Fluttershy asked as she placed her books in her locker.

“I mean… It could have been, but I believe it was real. Either way, it helped a bit,” Sunset said, smiling.

“I’m glad, Sunset,” Fluttershy said, closing her locker. She looked down to her purse as she felt her phone vibrate. She brought it up to look at who texted her. “Oh, that’s great. Mom just texted me that she has a list of doctors to look at.”

“Don’t say that too loudly, Fluttershy. I don’t want to give people more reasons to judge me or more ways to gossip about me,” Sunset said, looking down as they walked.

“It’s not that bad, Sunset. A lot of people see those kinds of doctors now, and like I said, I’ll go with you if you want,” Fluttershy said, putting a hand on Sunset’s shoulder.

Sunset smiled at Fluttershy. “Thanks, Fluttershy. I don’t know where I’d be without you.”

“Don’t think about it; it’ll only bring you down.”

The two approached Sunset’s locker and she began to unpack her stuff. Sunset said, “Agreed. Say, how’s the whole band thing going. You guys have only been practicing a couple of days, after all.”

“Oh, it’s going very well, actually. We’ve been practicing a few songs, and well, you know I’ve been writing some myself.”

“Yeah. Have you told the others about them yet?”

“No, but when the times comes, I will.”

“Hey, guys!” came a voice from down the hall. The two girls looked over to see Rainbow jogging down the hallways with a smile on her face. She slid to a stop in front of them. “You guys won't believe what's happening!” she exclaimed.

“What?”

“The school is having a musical showcase!”

“Really?” Fluttershy asked with a big smile on her face.

“That sounds awesome,” Sunset added.

“Yeah. They’re starting to make posters in the gym right now. I figured we should probably make a poster or two for the Rainbooms,” Rainbow explained.

“That sounds like a good idea. Do you know how many bands are going to be in it?” Sunset asked.

“Not yet, but anyway, come on. We need to get the others and get a spot before it’s too late,” Rainbow said hurriedly.

“How about I go ahead and get us a spot and maybe start on it while you two get the girls?” Sunset suggested.

Rainbow and Fluttershy gave each other a look before looking back at Sunset. “Are you sure, Sunset?” Fluttershy asked.

“Absolutely. I’ll be fine,” Sunset said, waving off their concerns with her hand and starting to the gym, “Just be sure to get there as soon as you can.”

With a shrug, Rainbow and Fluttershy both went to look for the other girls.


“Did you make sure to give the papers and everything else we needed to transfer here?” Adagio asked Aria.

Aria scoffed before answering, “Of course I did." She gestured towards Sonata. "She’s the stupid one, not me. Besides, it was easy after singing to the secretary.”

“Well, it doesn’t hurt to double-check. Now, come on.” With that, they started off towards Canterlot High, evil grins on their faces.


Discord appeared behind Princess Celestia’s throne, trying to be quiet enough to give her a nice surprise. He crept up behind it, inching closer and closer, getting ready for the perfect moment to--

“How is she doing, Discord?” came a voice from behind him. He jerked in surprise slightly before turning around.

“You don’t let me have any fun, do you?”

“Not while you’re on the clock, no,” Celestia said with a smile as she walked past him.

“Hmph. Well, she’s on the right track. She is going to start seeing some doctors, and with Fluttershy’s help, I’m sure she’ll be fine, albeit with a struggle or two here and there,” Discord said, hovering next to her.

“That’s good, at least. I want you to keep an eye on her. I can't bear the thought of something bad happening to her. She’s already been through so much. Is there anything else?” Celestia sat on her throne.

“Yes, some bad news, actually. The Sirens are already moving in. They were about a block away when I teleported back here.”

Celestia’s eyes widened slightly. “That was very fast. Hmm… We’ll have to act fast, then. Discord, you’ll have to watch from a distance. They can’t know you’re there.”

“Yes, yes, I get it, Sun-Butt, but do you think she’s ready for them? We didn’t expect them to come for at least another week.”

“I believe in her. She’ll be able to defeat them in the end. I just hope she comes out better for it.”

“I’m sure she will. She may be recovering, but she’s not an idiot.”

“No, you’re right. She’ll do fine. Just keep an eye on her, though, just in case.”

“I will. Now, has the book been sent yet?”

“Yes. It should be arriving soon, a day at most. Twilight will have it before it’s needed, I’m sure.”

“Oh, that reminds me. Did she drink the potion?”

Celestia sighed, “Yes, but she tried to give it to her friends, too, so we had to come up with this whole story about how it was poison. We cleared it up, though.”

“You probably should have expected that, knowing her.”

“Yes, I should have, but it worked out in the end.”

Discord hovered away a bit, “Let’s hope it does. Now, I should go make sure everything goes according to plan in the other world. Ta ta.”

With that, Discord teleported away, leaving Celestia alone in her throne room.

Author's Note:

Well that's the end of this one folks. Stay tuned though, because more will come. I have to say thank you everyone for your feedback, it made this all the more fun to write, knowing people were actually enjoying it.

As a side note. In the last section, when Discord mentions a potion, he is referring to the potion I wrote about in my story The Potion. If you want to figure out how they're linked, you'll have to wait until a future story. Anyway's, again thank you all, and I hope you all enjoyed reading this as much as I've enjoyed writing it. Until next time. Cover Art.

6925151 All shall be explained... Eventually.

“Yes, yes I get it sun butt, but do you think she’s ready for them? We didn’t expect them to come for at least another week.”

hah.

I WANT MORE!!!!!!!!!!!

6926673 There shall be more coming soon hopefully.

Can't wait to see whats next

This story.
This story needs reads.
This story needs more to read.
I'm looking forward to horse words.

7130904 nope all I need is Fluttershy stare and a bit of the dark side eep if that OK with you:scootangel:

7130939 I'd like to think that in this fandom we're all friends. I don't know if that makes me a sentimental idiot or what but if so then I'm a sentimental idiot. :twilightsmile:

7147816
Oh yeah. I wish i took the time to remove all my errors >.>

7188639 i can see that.

never have i ever cried so much in one fanfic m8 gud job :,D

7209635 Thank you, while I didn't expect that reaction, I'm glad I got one.

After a horrible week Sunset Shimmer decides to end it all.

I'm sitting here thinking what this means; end a relationship, or a friendship, or a-
0-0 oh-OH NO

7237399 Ehh yea I'm not the greatest with descriptions. :twilightblush:

7777518 it's more that they saw her get defeated, so they feel it's time to get back at her while she can't do anything.

7237399 you figured it out it's a horrible truth

Okay. I just read 'The Potion'. I can't say what I think that link is because I have no idea which direction you're going to go with it or how close to canon this will be. I'll read the sequel... eventually.

Just got done with this story and I was quite impressed by it couple loose ends but im sure they will get coverd in the next installment of Dragon ball Z

7871300 If I'm correct it might be this one he's referring too.

7871309 Well, thank you. I'll give it a read...although it may not compare to this one. This is an very well-made story. You, good sir, have earned yourself a mustache. :moustache:

7871355 Yes! A mustache! I can finally retire! Are you proud of me mom!

Y....you arent? Get a job?... oh... ok. :pinkiecrazy:

7871887 It's actually an inspiration for my story here. :twilightsmile:

7995173 for her own reasons yea

7995210 No, do prescribed drugs kids. Only the stated amount on the bottle, and only if your name is on the bottle.

A nice ending, I really enjoyed this story! Pretty upset it's over, but I'll be able to deal with it. :derpytongue2: Maybe I'll check put your other stories... :raritywink:

7995306 Oh but its not over! A sequel is awaiting!

7995618 Ooh, interesting~ I'll have to check that out in the morning. :twilightsmile:

8031216 It was mostly that she had a chance to calm down, really get to think about what she did and said and see how Sunset is dealing with everything. Emotions are a powerful thing, and causes people to do some pretty stupid things, but once they have time to calm down and think it over, they realize what they did wrong and try their best to correct it.

8080687 It's all a matter of perspective really. RD would never act like that in the show as it is now, yes. However, in the first EqG movie, she was more reminiscent of her Season 1 self. Even then, I understand we've never seen her exactly like this, but then we've never seen her in a situation like this. I feel that given all of this, RD's reactions are more believable.

8080753 Once I got to the end of the story and saw the change in RD, I have to agree with you on this

8080984 I hoped that would be the case, and I'm glad it was. :twilightsmile:

8080667 that's understandable. Which also brings me to the point, never be afraid to ask for help, no matter how difficult it may be, there's always someone out there willing to help

8081679 Nobody can help. The knife is all I have to distract me.

This was beautiful... :raritystarry:

8184603 Glad you enjoy it. :twilightsmile:

I really like this story. It was sweet and cute and had a lot of feels. I also like how Discord is kinda a good guy, instead of his annoying, prankster self.

8269441
I'm glad you enjoyed it. The way I see it is that Discord does do the right thing for the most part, just in a very roundabout way. Even if he doesn't know it himself. And as much as Discord loves chaos, in a situation like this, he understands he needs to be more serious than chaotic.

8031233
Thanks for the reply. Sorry it took me this long to finally see it.

Quite a good story :).

Really, Sunset struggling to accept Fluttershy kindness and friendship, while "getting along" with Rainbow is what I enjoyed.

Otherwise, I don't have much to say so : great job, satisifed reader.

LETS GO!!!!! BRONIES FOR LIFE!!!!!!

just like a shotgun gauntlet to the knee

(What came to my mind from the Picture)
