In the hallways of Canterlot castle, princess Celestia walks with a young human girl. Who looks like a pony but lacks the pony ears and tail, or wings or a horn, but there's more than that. Celestia couldn't help but stare at her, her clothes are worn and all but rags, she is dirty, her mane ratty, and looks like she hasn't had a good meal in months.

"You're sure you don't want to go back to your own world?" Celestia asked the human name Sunset Shimmer who came out of the mirror her mentor had created years ago. And now she's stuck here till it reopens in 30 moons and Sunset doesn't care about going back.

"Here, there. It's all the same to me," Sunset said.

"As thanks for helping in saving my sister, you can stay here in the castle," Celestia said.

"Does this mean, I'm one of the castle staff?" Sunset asked.

"Yes you can help around with the work around the castle," Celestia said.

"I finally have a job," Sunset smiles happy that she has a place to stay and work. Something that she didn't have as a homeless teen in her world.

Well here's your room," Celestia said opening one of the unused servant rooms

Inside is a small room, with a single bed, a bookcase, and a small bathroom with a toilet and a bathtub. Sunset just stares at the room frozen with a blank look on her face. Celestia wonders if she's shock of how barren the room is.

"Is this really supposed to be for me?" Sunset asked.

"Well, I know it's not much...," Celestia said stopping as she sees Sunset starting to cry.

"Not a mat... or a cot...," Sunset said between sobs. "Or a pile of blankets I have to share with strangers.... An actual bed? For nothing?"

"O..of course...," Celestia said taken aback at this display.

Sunset press her face on Celestia's chest sobbing, which Celestia could only stare down at the crying child.

"....thank you....," Sunset sobs.

Celestia could only stare down at the young child crying into her chest. A faint memory of a young filly enters her mind, but she can't remember where or when. Like she miss her chance at something. All she could do is wrap her arms around Sunset and pats her on her back.

"You're welcome," Celestia said.
