Every character has a past, and sometimes, the past is a complicated, messy thing, full of good and bad, of defining moments, of broken relationships, of events that make a person think back and laugh...or even cry. Who we are now is because of all the little moments that have come before, the memories that shaped us.

So what shaped Sunset Shimmer? Who was she before?

More than that, what shaped her relationship with Princess Celestia? What made it fail?

Was it all Sunset's fault? Or was the Princess responsible? Or was the truth something far more complex than simple blame?

Maybe a trip down Memory Lane will have the answers...

Or maybe it will just raise more questions...

Yet another story that takes place in the same universe as my primary story "Cross the Rubicon", this is merely the beginning to what will become a sort of companion piece to a sidestory called "Supernova" that is in the works.

Hope you all enjoy! (Be careful what you ask for, dearest readers, because I may chose to deliver...just not in the way you expect! BRUHAHAHAHA.)
