Author's Notes:

The last chapter was proven to be a success! The music videos I had added really helped dramatize Sunset's exile. This story has a lot more chapters than I intended. In my paper draft, this is chapter 4. But on here it's what, chapter 5? 6? Dunno. Either way, I'm glad people are enjoying it.

Which music video did you like? Was it Ice and Snow or Fragments of Dreams? I'm thinking of adding more music videos to other chapters later. Let me know if that would be a good idea.

Cheerliee was calling out the attendance the next day.

"Applejack."

"Here," the cowgirl said. She sat right next to Rainbow Dash, who casually lounged in her seat. The others had class elsewhere, the other main five students. The blue girl yawned loudly.

"Wonder where miss Sunshine is. I didn't see her at breakfast."

The miss Sunshine she was referring to was Sunset Shimmer. The other main five had classes elsewhere.

Applejack shrugged. " She's probably on her way here."

Cheerilee got through the whole attendance. She looked it over again.

"...Sunset Shimmer?"

Suddenly, the door burst open and in the doorway was the said girl. Grimly, she walked in. The class gawked at the incredible scar and discolored eye she now had.

Ms. Cheerilee's eyes widened. " Oh my..."

"I know," Sunset snapped and sat down roughly in her seat.

"Maybe you should go to the doctor about it. How did that happen?" the teacher asked.

Sunset glared at her. "Why should I have to tell you?"

Her tone of voice caught Cheerilee off guard.

"I'm just concerned. Your eye shouldn't be discolored. Maybe I can--"

"Shut up! I didn't ask you for your advice! If you have a problem with it too bad! The last time I checked you weren't my mother!!" she roared angrily.

Sunset's teeth were clenched and she ground them together as she balled her hands into fists. The dark glare she had on her face was enough to make Cheerilee swallow, but what really scared her was her left eye. The long scar running across her face was fiercely red; it was recent. The pale green iris seemed to glow a ghostly shade and made her words more cutting and hurtful.

Cheerilee immediately looked away and picked up her chalk.

"W-Well, class. Lets g-get started on t-today's lesson." Rainbow Dash and Applejack sat with their mouths open. This was unlike Sunset, well, as her reformed self. They couldn't believe she was acting this way.

But it seemed that the other students already accepted that she was back.

Things became worse that day and it became apparent that Sunset Shimmr was no longer a good girl. Fear was struck back into those who didn't obey her and they would straighten up just like that! In just a day, a rumor about the queen of CHS came to the ears of Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna. They called her to the office and after a good twenty minutes, Sunset walked out of there with the widest smirk on her face. No one exactly knew what went down in the office, but it was obvious that whatever happened, didn't go down in the students' favor.

It felt good to be back. That's all Sunset could think as she glanced at those around her. She could finally be herself. She could finally breath. It was finally her time to shine.

Being in charge was all she wanted. Sunset came to that conclusion right after she was exiled from Equestria. No one could tell her what to do, not even Celestia. Or even the Celestia of this world. She had made sure she put some sense into the human one since knocking sense into the other one was impossible. Either way she had control.

Nothing could stop her.

Sunset thought back on the night of her exile. Twilight had done nothing. She had called out her name as though she were going to help, but of course, when Celestia yells out no, she had to obey. Well! What happened to true friendship?

Twilight was supposed to be a friend and help her through times of struggle. You saw how that turned out. Sunset grimaced at the thought of the purple princess. If she ever showed her face in that world, she'd make sure that she had no teeth. She'd pound her to death and send her body back to Celestia as a warning.

She was the queen.

She was the ruler.

If she did anything to throw her off her throne, she'd find ways to hurt Celestia.

And that was the truth.
