Epilogue

Placing the current sheet of paper into the file folder in front of her, Sunset closed it, swiveled around in her chair, and deposited the folder into the filing cabinet. That had been the last thing on her to-do list. She glanced over at her disposable container of takeout, and figured it would have to be reheated if she didn't want to gag through every bite. If she did, at least nopony would hear her; the school had emptied out two hours ago.

It had been a very hectic, yet very fulfilling week. Sunny texted multiple times a day, asking how everything had been going, even going so far as to ask if any of her students would be willing and able to come help with further exploration of the remnants of the Crystal Empire, and honestly, it was an idea that Sunset was considering; additional hooves would make for faster work, and quite an exciting field trip for whoever wanted to come along; granted it would be a bit cramped.

She had managed to put six classes together; two for fillies and colts, two for adolescents, and two for fully grown adults with mature horns. They each met five times a week, giving everypony enough time off to relax and absorb the new information that they were taking in on a daily basis.

She had also started her one-on-one tutoring with Izzy, who agreed to get some more Class III spells memorized before she attempted any serious Class IV content again, not entirely eager to get another serious migraine.

The enchanting of the fields had gone swimmingly; the grass would now all but shrug off any errant projectile spells that ponies practiced out away from the forest. The first interior enchanting she had done was here in the school; every desk, table, and surface was now poised to absorb any magic and dissipate it without notice, and she would now be able to provide practical demonstrations with whatever the lesson of the day was.

She was also thinking of putting together an extra-curricular e-sports group, perhaps getting them really good at Pony League and giving Pipp the Noob Destroyer something to think about.

Well, that seemed like enough for one day. She pushed back from the desk, and got to her hooves. Her decision to reheat what she had in front of her or save it and go get something in town before every place closed was interrupted by a short knock on the front door. Her attention turned to the entrance as the door opened, and a light blue unicorn stepped in.

Her coat was a light blue, which turned to a pink for her fetlocks and also curiously, her belly. Her kinky mane was navy blue and teal, with most of it going off to the right side of her head and neck. Her horn matched her blue coat, save for the pink gradient towards the tip, and her eyes were a shade of teal.

"Hi... Is-is this where they're giving magic lessons?" The mare asked in a meek feminine voice as she took another step inside, letting the door close behind her.

"It is. I don't think I've seen you around town before," Sunset responded.

"Oh, uh yeah, I've been away, visiting Maretime Bay and Zephyr Heights. I heard somepony was opening a magic school so I decided to, uh, to come home, and sign up," the mare replied.

"Well, you've come to the right place. My name is Sunset Shimmer, I'm the headmare. What's your name?"

"Misty."

Author's Note:

In case you're wondering, yes, I just thought up this tweaked ending today.

Yes, I am a slutty tease, in a strictly fanfiction-writing sense.

No, I have no idea where this will go, or if it will go anywhere, although it almost always does go somewhere eventually. Just wanted to leave the proverbial door open, so to speak.

But no promises!

Thank you so very much for reading.

Nice!

Just watched all the new episodes last night, and this definitely piques my curiosity.

Looking forward to more, because I fully expect there to be :)

Gasp Misty maybe this should be a good thing so she won't be abused by that crazy alicorn

Bold of you to assume the crazy alicorn didn't send her to Sunset's school...

Wow what a trip of a story here seeing how sunset goes through so at least classes has been pretty good for her even though there was some ups and downs but it looks like the unicorns are getting a little bit better this time with the magic even Izzy wanting to learn stronger Magic and sunset was about to leave for the day until a young unicorn wanted to sign up and apparently Sunset never seen her before but she was happy to help her and she asked for her name and it turns out it's Misty I wonder if anybody noticed her without a cutie mark I guess that's another story but anyway this was a pretty awesome story of this kind of scenario of Sunset coming back to Equestria how things change and everything and how she adjusts in this new world this was a pretty good one keep up the good work

:pinkiegasp: WHAT!!! We were just talking about how Misty won’t fit in the last chapter! At first, I thought it would be a nice ending for Sunset to meet another Flash Sentry, but you pulled a cool idea of a sequel take with Misty now since after watching the new show last night I now could see the whole Twilight and Starlight take for both Sunset and Misty. Also, what’s interesting is that Misty doesn’t have magic and a cutie mark so this will make it a challenge for Sunset to face and to help Misty since she is following the same path as her and Starlight were. I guess Opaline likely will appear too.

I think we our getting new episodes within the coming months, right? You could wait to see what happens with Misty to get some ideas.
You don’t have to rush for a sequel since I would like to see the Flurry Heart story continue and I agree I don’t mind if you are done with this story and leaving it as an open door for fans to spec about since this is a good ending after all.

Rip my theory of Sunset x Flash Sentry... for now :twilightangry2:

Thank you for the wonderful story!

Eeee! Misty!!

:fluttercry: bad news I ruin the ending for the FiM discord and forgot to place spoiler tag... so sorry for ruining the end yawl :raritydespair: :raritycry:

Surecdid enjoy this story, but sad it's come to its ending. Maybe now you can work some more on that G5 Flurry heart story? :ajsmug:

"Well, you've come to the right place. My name is Sunset Shimmer, I'm the headmare. What's your name?"

"Misty."

Uh-oh.

Always leave them wanting more.......

So this is where you've decided to end this story? Not exactly what I expected, but I'm okay with it. Though I will say that with how much backstory was revealed in the Make Your Mark episodes that just came out, a possible attempt to write a sequel to this story in a way that fits in with all that new information of past events could be a rather interesting challenge.

Also, in case if you didn't know, there is now a character tag for the Mane 5, so you can apply that to this story and the previous stories.

When watching episodes one and two of the new season I wondered if Misty could be a relative (or possibly a descendant) of Cozy Glow. Her behavior at the end of this chapter makes me wonder about this even more.

REALLY good job on the epilogue/possible sequel set-up. Definitely liked the work that went into Sunset's observations and the exchange at the end. REALLY liked the stuff about how Sunset has set up her school as well as the descriptions of the private tutoring for Izzy. And, yeah, Sunset's fears about finding a student who was like how she used to be? Yeah, Misty might not be as arrogant or ambitious as Sunset used to be, but in a way, that actually makes her more dangerous because it will be harder to see her coming until it's too late. In a way, it actually makes her seem a bit like an older unicorn version of Cozy Glow.

And, yeah, it would probably be pretty advisable to work on the Flurry Heart branch story since, by the time you're done with that, there will probably be more episodes to give you more ideas.

milesprower06, I'm giving you a trophy for finishing your Forgotten: Sunrise story. Congratulations. 🏆

"Well, you've come to the right place. My name is Sunset Shimmer, I'm the headmare. What's your name?"

"Misty."

Let the tears ensue

What is up with that horn

GASP

Did Opaline send Misty to spy on Sunset? Does Opaline plan on stealing her magic? Could Misty somehow still perform magic, despite not having a cutie mark? Will any of these questions be answered?




Meh, we’ll see. 🤷‍♂️

Ohh that's actually a good point oh dear

woot woot a awesome ending too this amazing story.;

Well, you talk about possibly having a sequel, but do it in a way that positively DEMANDS a sequel, lol. :rainbowlaugh: Okay, looking forward to what ever is next, but I do agree, the Flurry Heart would be a worthy project for right now.

NEXT TIME ON DRAGON BALL ZZZZZZZ

Hope you enjoy the start of the sequel!

Hm. Now I've gotta wait for the next book to finish to find out what happens next.
I'm hoping you'll kind of follow the show now that it's out and have Misty actually cast a spell since she doesn't in the show! Yet.

They're just Sunset fan art pieces and not story critical. Nothing I can do.
