Twilight, Celestia, Sunset, Flash and the Main 6 end up sitting in Sunset's living room an hour later. There is a lot of tension in the air and it affects everyone there. Still tired and exhausted from the crazy events that unfolded, Sunset leaned against Twilight. Twilight looked at the floor as she felt Celestia's eyes fall upon her.

"We need an explanation," Rainbow Dash said outright. "Ever since Sunset magically got a scar on her face, she turned all psycho. Then when Twilight came around this whole big accident happened and Sunset was hospitalized. Now this? Sunset was doing whatever that was in the water and turned into a raging serpent, and now we find out that you two have a thing for one another and that Principal Celestia is Sunset's mom?!?!"

"S-She's not the principal. She's the princess of Equestria," Sunset clarified.

"Now we got TWO princesses from some far off world?! What is going on here?!" Rainbow cried.

Celestia glanced at Twilight, who was staring down at the floor still. "Twilight will be able to explain everything."

Damn it.

Twilight bit her lip. She had not told her friends anything that happened. They were completely clueless. It was easy to see how everything seemed so random and sudden to the eyes of those without the knowledge of knowing.

"W-Well, you see..." she began shakily.

She told them about the night that started it all and the Main 5 and Brian Flash Sentry were all immediately transfixed.(Like so many of my dear readers!)

Twilight told them of how she felt upset about the whole thing and, rather fearfully, how she went through Celestia's things to learn more about Sunset and find a way to get to that world. Celestia listened with her mouth pinched shut. All these things she heard Twilight say that broke laws in Equestria stunned her. She wasn't sure what to think.

Twilight had been her star student and was awarded the position of princesshood. With all these illegal acts, she should be dethroned immediately.

Twilight continued to tell them about the accident in the bathroom and what happened to Sunset mentally. She also told them that Sunset had roughed her up a little(which made Sunset feel very uncomfortable), and how they made amends right after that. The story of what went on between them continued through the incident of Sunset's first therapy session to the walk in the park to the late night conversation they had. Even though two of those things she told them the Main 5 and Flash were aware of, it was more for Celestia.

Twilight paused a second and decided to tell them of the fight that never happened, which shocked everyone. Twilight had turned back time and saved Sunset from something she'd deeply regret.

When Twilight finished everyone was silent.

Flash leaned against the wall and stared at the ceiling in thought. Rarity just sat with her mouth open and Applejack and Rainbow pinched themselves. Was this for real?

"So...Sunset's not evil anymore..?" Pinkamena asked slowly.

Twilight smiled. "No, Pinkie. She's good."

The girl stared before a smile etched itself across her face. Almost immediately her hair puffed up into its curly state and her skin tone lightened. Pinkie Pie was back.

Fluttershy cleared her throat a little and asked," So, uh, how did you two...you know...get together?"

Sunset and Twilight were speechless. Embarrassment was as plain as day on their faces. Sunset coughed uncomfortably.

"Uhhhhh..." she mumbled. "It just happened..?"

"Mmm hmm," Applejack snorted. She didn't believe that.

"Is there something wrong with that?" Sunset muttered.

Applejack shrugged. "Just doesn't sit with me."

Celestia cleared her throat and everyone turned to her.

Twilight felt scared and afraid.

"I think Twilight and I need to have a talk. Where can we go to discuss this matter privately," she said flatly.

"...The upstairs bedroom...Twilight can show you where it is..." Sunset whispered.

Celestia nodded and stood up. Twilight feebly got up and led the way upstairs. This wasn't going to be good.

Twilight and Celestia stood before each other. No words were being exchanged. It was just all tension.

"Twilight," Celestia said.

"Y-Yes, princess Celestia?" Twilight whispered hoarsely.

"What were you thinking?" she asked. "What were you thinking to go as far as defy me?"

Twilight stood still looking at the floor. She didn't answer.

"I need an answer, Twilight. Why did you do it?"

Twilight's throat went dry. She wanted to answer her but she couldn't.

Why?

Because she herself didn't know the answer.

Why had she done the things she did? I mean, it would be easy to say that she was upset and wanted to make things right, but somehow that wasn't true. Going over to the human world wasn't because she wanted to settle things. There was something else...Something she wasn't processing. She was drawn here by an invisible force.

And it had nothing to do with being a good person.

Was it just Sunset Shimmer herself?

Was she just the whole reason of her wanting to cross through the sporadic portal, risk dethronement, lose her life, everything?

But that couldn't be it, could it?

Twilight had no feelings for her before she came across that book.

Seeing as Twilight didn't have an answer Celestia sighed. "Just tell me this. You knew that what you were doing would cause a problem and yet you did it anyway. Did you do this because you thought my action was unjust?"

Twilight looked up at the princess. Celestia wasn't angry. She was just disappointed. All the fear rushed out of her and was replaced by guilt.

"Yes," she answered.

It was the only answer that seemed to fit.

Celestia nodded. "I see..."

She ran a hand through her hair.

"If you thought you were to be dethroned, you don't have to worry about it. I just need you to come back to Equestria and make it so everyone knows you're fine. People make mistakes. If I dethroned you, it would be hypocritical of me to do so. I had my own sister sent off to the moon for a thousand years and never had her denounced.

"Just understand that...I forgive you."

Twilight was frozen to the floor. She was forgiven. After all the problems she might have caused her, she was forgiven.

Princess Celestia smiled lopsidedly and Twilight returned it.

They were on good terms again.

That was better than anything.
