Ten years ago I attended Canterlot high and was such a bitch, ten years ago I was reformed by another from the world I come from, ten years ago I saw the world I now gladly call home start to change by forces from my old home and I saw that other from my old world, she helped fix the problem.

The Dazzlings haven't been seen since they ran off that stage ten years ago defeated and embarrassed, I know the feeling. I did spend some time searching for them to see if I could help them change like I did but I gave up when all leads I had to their whereabouts ran dry. Since then I was offered a spot in now the most popular band in America The Rainbooms, but I quit after two years I just never got used to all the people staring so instead I watch from back stage as the manager.

I still help them practice and write songs but I mostly give out and answer calls about gigs and record deals. Every now and then I get a message from that other, Twilight sparkle she visits and even recorded some songs with us, but now it is our ten year anniversary since this band got off its feet and the band is performing a huge concert for it, Twilight is even going to sing on stage with everyone except me and as much as the girls tried to convince me otherwise (especially Pinkie Pie) but my answer was still no.

Right now my job is waiting by the portal for Twilight to arrive. "... What is taking so long?" I checked my watch and Twilight was two minutes late. "Twilight is never late, two whole minutes must be some kind of problem." No sooner did I put my watch down Twilight came flying out of the portal, like usual with no luggage and almost screaming when she sees her fingers. I helped her up off the ground and dusted her off a bit. "It's not like you to be late even by a second, what happened?"

"Sorry Sunset, Spike wanted to come but..."

"He's grown too big for the portal?"

"Yeah, he keeps trying to shape himself to fit but he's three times its size! It pains me every time to tell him shrinking magic might not keep its effects when he crosses over."

I gave Twilight a reassuring hug and we started walking to the school. "Come on the girls are in the gym, they're going to be so excited!"

"Why are they in the gym?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

Twilight showed a face that flat out said Du. Upon entering the gym Twilight was immediately brought into a group hug that was all held together by Pinkie. We all caught up for a while until Twilight finally asked the million dollar question? "So why at the school?"

Applejack answered. "Well sugar cube It just felt right, ten years more or less away from our roots and we all thought for our ten year anniversary concert it should be held here."

Every time I see every one, Twilight included I am amazed how we all seemed to have changed physically yet we were no different than how we were ten years ago. "So Twilight I'm surprised you didn't ask about Flash?"

Twilight blushed. "Well From what you've written to me about I just assumed he was busy and couldn't make it, being in the army and all."

Rainbow Dash started to speak. Oh boy. "It's alright Twi, so your other worldly crush can't make it to see you because the military won't let him leave you still have good friends and about several thousand fanboys ready to f..."

Rarity covered Rainbow Dashes mouth before she could complete that sentence. "Any who darling we are here for you and I personally can't wait to show you the dress I designed for you."

"I would love to see it Rarity. By the way it's getting late isn’t the show going to start?"

We all looked at the clock, it read nine PM and everyone (myself included) started freaking out. The concert started in two hours so we all went to make up and dress in a rush. While everyone got Twilight up to speed on the songs that they were singing I was back stage making sure all the set ups went smoothly and all the equipment was set just right. When it came time for everyone to get on stage the stadium was over crowded with people and the DJ started the music, the six of them appeared on stage from the artificial fog when they started singing and playing their instruments their pony accessories the ears, tails and wings for the three that had them burst out and the crowd screamed in joy.

After the concert finally ended the gang were completely wiped out, Pinkie even fall asleep when they finally got back stage.

"Wow Twelve encores in a row, don't these people know were only human... for the most part." Rainbow spoke while collapsed over the snack table.

"Well when you're the biggest hit in America and growing popularity overseas you should expect this." I know Rainbow will still complain but I still had to explain this to her again.

"I'm getting too old for this."

"Rainbow you're only twenty eight years old." Applejack spoke while fanning herself with her hat.

After the two of them bickered back and forth for a few minutes they finally laughed if off and just sat down on the floor, thank Celes... Go... damn it I never know what to say when it comes to religious swearing. "Well glad to see all that is done with but you girls still have one last job that needs to be finished." I put on a fake smile because I know they hated this part.

"Right the autograph signing." Fluttershy spoke rather disappointed.

"I never understood why pon... people want to have a piece of paper with your name on it." Twilight questioned.

"Twilight it's more like a trinket but people treat it like a collectable. It also acts as proof of anything you write it's actually your writing so years after you wrote it they can sell it to people more crazy about your writing than they are." Even I wasn't sure why people collect them yet I some how had an explanation... what the fuck? "Anyhow come on the sooner we get this done with the better."

An hour or so past and the line of people waiting for autographs was still not gone. "Did people come from other towns?"

"What was that Sunset?" Twilight asked me.

"Nothing, just thinking out loud. Were all these people in town when we were here ten years ago?"

"I don't know about that Sunset but I just want this to be over with so I can spend some time with ma’ family." Applejack spoke while signing pictures. "Been a good while since I got to have a sit down family dinner."

I pictured the image of an Apple family dinner and found myself smiling. I snapped out of it when I saw this woman dressed in blue jeans and wearing a dark grey hoodie that covered most of her face, all I could see was her mouth and chin. She went up to Rainbow Dash and gave her what looked like a birthday card to sign. When she left curiosity got the best of me and I followed. When she stopped I hid behind one of many cars in the area and I saw her open her car, nothing special just a normal grey van. That's when I saw her pull her hoodie off her head and I saw who was under it, Aria!?" What the hell!?" Despite what you would assume when an old enemy returns my first question was why she was getting an autograph from her enemies. "Aria?" When I spoke out she turned and looked at me with a look of complete and utter fear. "It's been awhile hasn't it?"

She dropped a key out of her hand and ran off. In shock I started chasing her and managed to tackle her and pin her down. "Get off of me!"

"Not until you tell me what you are doing here after ten years!"

She struggled for a while then gave up and looked at me with a hateful grin. "Fine you want the truth, I never left!"

"Ten years ago I spent eight months searching for... wait did you say 'I' what about the others, Sonata, Adagio?"

She tried again to escape but I managed to keep her down. "I don't know, we all went our different ways after the battle of the bands." She tried to turn her head to hide her face but I could tell she looked hurt and sad, I even saw a tear start to form. "I'm alone."

"Then why the autograph?" When I said that I felt Arias foot kick itself into my stomach and threw me onto a car windshield, when I got up Aria had gotten into her car and drove off, but I did see her license plate. "A736BG... Remember that." I practically crawled off the broken windshield of that car and started to fix myself.

"Sunset Shimmer!" I turned around and saw Twilight behind me. "Where did... Oh my gosh! what happened!?"

I realized that Arias kick had left me with several scratches on my neck and glass shards in my hair. "You are not going to believe who I just ran into."
