Every time the little bell on the door chimed, Pinkie Pie bounced with joy.

“Welcome to Sugarcube Co-AAAAHHH!! Sunset Shimmer!!!”

“Wait,” Sunset said but Pinkie had already built and armor with a flour sack and a bowl.

“Stand back, you villain!” Pinkie said, holding a wooden spoon.

“I´m not here to hurt you. I've changed. Promise.”

Pinkie wasn't convinced so she poked her with the spoon a little.

“Please, stop that.”

“Why are you here? Are you kidnapping Twilight´s friends one by one?” Pinkie asked.

“No! Listen, my exile in the other world is over. I came back to make amends. I promise.”

Pinkie glared at her for a while and then beamed a bright smile.

“Okay! I believe you!”

“You...do?”

“Yup, curly here says you're being honest!”

“Curly?”

“It´s how I call the big curl on my mane. It´s my personal lies detector! One of my many Pinkie Senses!” Pinkie said, playing with her mane.

“Okay, if you say so.”

“So, what can I do for you, Sunny Shimmy?”

“I need some help making a present. Twilight Sparkle mentioned you were the best baker she knew,” Sunset explained, looking a little angry at her new nickname.

“Well, i don't like to brag...but, sure! I´ll help you! But if we're gonna make a chocolate for the Princess, I'm going to need a bigger kitchen!”

“uh thank you. How did you know it was for the Princess?” Sunset asked and PInkie played with her mane some more. “Oh, right.”

*****

Sweet Apple Acres provided the big enough kitchen for Pinkie´s needs. She had the Apple family plus her friends and the Crusaders helping Sunset make some chocolate. Of course, half of the time was spent on keeping the Crusaders or Pinkie for starting a fire but work was being done. Sunset wasn't the best cook but she learned fast and was willing to make this with her own hooves, not even using magic.

“Ah don´t know about that Sunset. Are yah sure we can trust her?” Applejack asked.

“Curly says she is okay!” Pinkie declared, much to the confusion of Applejack.

“You´re the one who dealt with her before, Twi. Are you sure this is a good dkea?” Rainbow Dash asked her.

“I believe that everypony deserves a second chance.”

“And now, we have to give them shape,” Rarity declared.

Sunset picked a heart shaped mold, blushing a little while holding it. She noticed Fluttershy looking at her and dropped it.

“What about this one?” Twilight said, levitating a star shaped one. “She really likes stargazing,” she said, blushing a little herself.

“I...remember,” Sunset said and took the mold.

While her friends weren´t so convinced, Pinkie was smiling at the scene.

******

Sunset Shimmer wa standing perfectly straight. Even the guards were a little envious of her posture. She watched with a straight face as Celestia tasted the chocolate treats.

When she reached the one made by Sunset, the Princess gave up and walked outside the room, levitating the chocolate star.

“Sister?” Princess Luna asked from her seat.

“I´m taking these on the balcony,” Celestia declared. She let the balcony door open, waiting for an answer and when she didn´t got one, she added, “Sunset Shimmer may accompany me.”

Twilight poked Sunset with her wing, encouraging her to go forward. Princess Luan silently watched her as she walked outside.

Celestia was sitting in a cushion, tasting the chocolate. She didn't even gestured for Sunset to sit down so teh unicorn stood straight next to her. For a long couple of minutes, neither say a word.

“Tell me something, Sunset...” Celestia suddenly said.

“Ye-yes, your Majesty?”

“Why did you make me these presents?”

“Well, I...” Sunset began but then she looked at Celestia. The Princess had a stern, almost angry look. Sunset shivered and looked away. “I was just trying to apologize.”

Celestia didn't seemed to believe that and kept waiting for Sunset to continue.

“I remembered how much you like sweets so I thought...”

“You thought you could bribe me into forgive you with sweets.”

Sunset bit her lip, ashamed of herself.

“Dumb student. You haven´t learned anything after all this time...”

Sunset bite her lip harder, almost making it bleed. She turned around, trying to leave when a white wing stopped her and brought her closer to the Princess.

“I already forgive you.”

Sunset no longer hold her tears and returned the Princess embrace.

Inside the diner room, Princess Luna had finished with the rest of the chocolate treats when a heart shaped one floated in front of ther. She looked behind it and found a blushing Twilight Sparkle holding with her magic. Luna giggled and took a bite at the chocolate.
