-Narrative-

As the train made its stop the two mares got off the train cart that housed them for the ride. The air increased in temperature as it blew effortlessly between both mares. Ponyville entirely didn’t really care nor noticed that Twilight was gone for 2 hours.

Twilight’s POV

I walk with Sunset to my castle. I began to wonder in my mind where did all those thoughts come from. I never experienced anything like it. Maybe I'm just sick and need some medicine… yeah! That’s it I'm just sick I probably have a small cold. But wait I have no symptoms. This is getting more and more frustrating as the walk continued. I see my castle entrance ahead. Thank Celestia! As we step onto the stairs to the main doors I turn around. “Well Sunset I guess this is where we part ways for today I'll let you settle in and tomorrow I'll come visit you in your home to see if you’re ready for some magic and friendship.” I said as I show off my signature cheeky smile. ‘Stop it Twilight you're creeping her out! Stop smiling!’

Sunset’s POV

I just stare at Twilight. ‘Man she is becoming weirder by the second.’ I back away very slowly as she continued to smile and wave goodbye. I finally let out some words to let her know that I'm leaving. “Okay… I'll go to my new home now Twilight… I'll let you… Just smile…-“ I walk backwards some more but much more faster, “-and wave…” I made a fake grain as I turn around and walk away.

I continue down a small path into an even smaller street right in front of Twilight’s Castle. I begin to talk to myself since nopony is around. “Well I wonder why Mom put me in a house close to Twilight’s Castle. I guess she really wants me to learn this time.” I walk to the house that had my cutie mark on it. “I guess this is it.” I step inside the house. It is well built with lots of furniture everywhere. A full living room set, a full dining table with chairs, a kitchen stocked with pots, pans, and other kitchen stuff I don't wish to list all the way through.  I walk upstairs and see my room. It’s just like the one at Celestia’s castle expect all my childhood things are other there and not here. As I do a quick spin around the room I spotted a note on the bed. I snapped the ribbon and opened the note:

Dear Sunset Shimmer,

Welcome to Ponyville! Here is where Twilight learned the true meaning of Friendship and maybe you can too. She had rough times and fun times here. But in the end her and her friends were together. A bond that cannot be undone so to speak. Anyways… This is your new home Sunset I hope you enjoy your time here and don’t think of Twilight being your teacher a downgrade or disappointment I taught her everything she knows so you two can relate to something. She will visit you or you will visit her tomorrow. The kitchen is fully stocked with food to last you quite a while. If you need some supplies or money to help you out you can just send me a letter through spike. If you choose to be a little more independent then you can try to get a job in Ponyville suited to your skills. Well again enjoy your stay in Ponyville.

With Love,

Mom

P.S.: If you can spot out Twilight’s friends you may greet them too so you all can get acquainted. I’m sure you know their names as they didn’t change in the Human World and I'm sure you can spot them out through a crowd since their skin/fur color texture didn’t change as much. Twilight made that very clear on how they act and communicate.

I put the note on a nearby desk, I see a telescope on next to my window. I peer through it to Twilight’s Castle. Twilight still stood there smiling and waving. “That mare has some damn issues…” I peer through it again and see spike come out of the castle.

Universal Character

Spike walks out of the castle and sees Twilight smiling and waving at nothing. He pokes her but she still goes on. “Twilight… This isn't an assignment that Princess Celestia told you to do right?” Twilight snapped out of her trance.

“What, what’s going on… Oh hi Spike.” Twilight was getting nervous when Spike examined her. Spike told some things to point out. She didn't stop smiling and waving. The letter said that she will be Sunset Shimmer’s teacher and also told him NOT to tell Twilight. Spike saw a hint of blush when she looked directly at Sunset’s house. Spike added in all these signs. He did a small test to prove his theory.

“Twilight be honest with me when I ask you this.” Twilight looked at her with discerning eyes. “Are you in love with somepony particularly a mare?” Twilight looked at him as if he’s gone insane.

“NO. I’m not in love with Sunset Shimmer!” Spike pointed her out at an instant.

“I never mentioned Sunset even once in that question.” Twilight just realized what he did… He caught her in the act.

“Alright! Fine, I have some type of feelings for her in a way.” Twilight has grown a little frustrated during the conversation. Spike sighed.

“Twilight I don't care nor judge on what you do or who you like. If you like mares then so be it. I don't give a flying feather. So long as you're happy it’s alright with me.” Twilight was done with this conversation as she walked inside in a huff. “Denying these feelings Twilight will only make you feel like complete shit later on.” Spike yelled to her. Twilight stopped and turned around to face the young dragon.

“One… DO NOT EVER SWEAR AGAIN! And two I'm perfectly fine and this will pass like some phases have. It’s just a phase and nothing more.” Spike didn't believe her.

“Denial Twilight… It’s all denial.”

Sunset continued to look through the telescope at the Castle. “Hmm, Spike got her to stop. Maybe I can use him if Twilight does creepy things like that again.” She moved away from the telescope and looked at the desk…. There was another side to the note. Sunset picked it up and read it:

Look in a saddle bag in your closet…

Sunset did as the note instructed, she opened the closet and saw nothing but a saddle bag. She took it out and pour the contents out. The whole bag contained nothing of bits some dropped to the floor. Sunset was surprised by this then smiled. “Thank you mom.” She put all the money back in the bag and placed it back into the closet. Tomorrow she will ask Twilight if she and her can visit the local market get some supplies and clothing. Then Sunset remembered something. Most of the ponies in Ponyville or even Equestria don't wear clothes. ‘Maybe the Rarity here can make me some clothing like my jacket in the Human World.’ Sunset thought as she went about her day in her new home… Her new life.

-Narrative-
