Sunset was in the middle of relaxing when she felt herself teleport. Opening her eyes, she found herself on a couch in a comfy home.

She looked around to gain her bearing, when her uncle Amenadiel walked over to her. He offered her a small smile, knowing his father had brought her here for therapy to help deal with everything.

"Amenadiel can you grab-who is that?" Linda said, walking over to Amenadiel when she spotted the redhead. Sunset offered her a sheepish smile. Amenadiel turned and faced the therapist who was holding their son, Charlie, who was also Sunset's younger cousin.

"Linda, this is my niece, Sunset Shimmer. An odd name, I know. One of our brothers, Zarachiel, named her that due to it being sunset when she was born." Amenadiel explained to the woman who looked at him with a shocked expression. She thought she was the only one who had a nephilim child.

"It's nice to meet you, ma'am." Sunset introduced herself. Linda scoffed at being called that name. Since she was Amenadiel's niece it would make her Charlie's cousin and in turn making her the girl's aunt.

"Oh please, none of that crap. Call me Linda." The woman asked, adjusting her glasses. She had a feeling this would mean more celestial drama on her plate.

"Alright, Linda. I honestly have no clue how or why I came to wherever I am. Last thing I remember was being at home with dad and some of my other aunts and uncles when I came here in the middle of relaxing." Sunset explained, embarassed.

Linda immediately knew who had the power to bring her 'niece' here. Her father-in-law God.

"Dad told me to inform you that he sent Sunset here as she needs some therapy after something she recently went through." Amenadiel explained to Linda who nodded firmly.

Linda walked over and sat down in the chair opposite Sunset. She stared at the girl as she grabbed her book and a pen, ready to write.

"So, shall we?" Linda asked, clicking her pen to start writing down what her newest patient-family as well-would be telling her.

"Well," Sunset began, "It started after the Formal, an event where I tried to become the formal princess. I didn't and I sort of lost my temper. I come from a world of sentient equines by the way. I come from Equestria. You see, I kinda rebelled against my mom because she didn't teach me what I wasn't ready to know at the time. I got angry and we had a heated argument. After that, I fled through the portal that took me to a human version of my former home."

Linda jotted down Sunset's words, documenting it so she could give it to the girl's father.

"I...wasn't a very good person," Sunset admitted, "I was a bully, but I was changed by a rainbow laser-and don't ask but it happened and after that I changed. Shortly after that, when I thought my friends forgave me for what I did we had a music competition. We won and prevented three formerly evil girls who are now some of my best friends from taking over the world with chaotic musical magic. And yes, magic exists in both the worlds I lived in, before you ask. After that, the students complimented me and I felt forgiven."

Linda gave the girl a sympathetic look. She could tell by how much expression and emotion behind the girl's words that she had really tried to change.

"Anyways, a few months after that, around christmas, me and my former friends were having a sleepover at each other's houses. A few days after the sleepovers, someone on the website MyStable called Anon-A-Miss spread rumor about the students. Everyone believed it was me and they all turned on me, attacked and hurt me. Not only verbally but also physically."

Linda's look switched from one of empathy to concern then anger before returning to an empathetic one.

"WHY COULDN'T THEY SEE THAT I CHANGED!? I PROVED IT BY SAVING THE WORLD!" Sunset wailed, sobbing into her hands as she released everything she'd been holding back.

Amenadiel walked over and hugged Sunset, wrapping a gray wing around her back as he pulled her into a gentle hug which she embraced.

Both Linda and the angel were furious. Amenadiel wanted to find out who harmed Sunset.

"Eventually, dad came and found me. I was sent a text from my former friend Rainbow Dash, and her old friend Gilda informed me that I was meant to be ambushed. Gilda refused to harm me and some of her friends and my ex-boyfriend took my side." Sunset added, looking over at her uncle Amenadiel who gave her a sad smile.

"Dad took me in and since then I've been staying with him. Grandpa took him away from me because he felt it was wrong for him to be family with me and mom. Eventually, many years later, he changed his mind and confronted us. I love dad, and I love the rest of my family. I also made up with my mom and we've reconnected as mother and daughter." Sunset continued, sniffling with happiness at the memories. She felt a smile grace her lips.

Linda noticed how much love the girl put behind her words when describing her parents and her family. The therapist felt a smile of her own on her lips.

"Eventually, Anon-A-MIss revealed themselves. It was three girls who were younger sisters to three of my former friends. They wanted to turn their sisters against me because they felt I was stealing their family from them. All because they were jealous of me spending more time with their sisters instead of them." Sunset scowled, the CMC could've talked it out with their sisters and Anon-A-Miss could've been prevented.

"I'm sorry you went through all that. And you're right, Sunset. Jealousy was a bad reason. I believe you when you said you wanted to change. You do regret what you did and have tried to move on. I'm glad you're with your family and made up with your mother." Linda offered her condolences to the girl.

As a mother herself, if Sunset were her child she'd be furious and want the girls behind the account to pay. She wasn't however but she was her niece and she'd be damned if she couldn't help one of her newest family members.

Suddenly, Charlie woke up, Amenadiel still holding him. The half-human and half-angel baby flailed about as Linda went and grabbed him from his father's arms.

Sunset looked over curiously at the baby, who she instantly realized was her cousin. She only had Cadance who she wanted to make up with. Cadance had been more like a big sister to her than a cousin.

"May I hold him?" Sunset asked softly, gazing over at the infant. Linda smiled and handed the infant nephilim to his cousin.

Sunset adjusted her arms for her cousin who opened his eyes and looked at her. He giggled, reaching over with his hand as he softly touched her face.

The redhead smiled, running a hand through the faint whisps of growing hair on his head. She wanted to be in her cousin's life and a role model to him. She knew that he'd need one.

"Hey little guy!" Sunset cooed, gently brushing her fingers over her cousin's cheek.

Linda watched the interaction between the two, smiling warmly at the scene.

Sunset felt her equestrian magic activate as she ponied up. Not only did she had her pony ears but also a horn and her wings. An alicorn.

Charlie looked up at his cousin, babbling as he grasped one of her fingers and squeezed it gently. The bacon-haired girl let him hold one of her fingers.

The infant then brushed his hand over her left wing, brushing through the layers of feathers that covered them.

"Holy shit!" Linda gasped, watching the girl take on the form that would activate whenever her equestrian magic would flare up.

"Sorry about that," Sunset said, "It only happens if I'm in contact with any magical objects such as my journal." She said, feeling her pony form fade away as she reverted back to her original human state.

Her wings furled back into her body as she relaxed and leaned backward, letting Charlie cuddle into her chest. Sunset's heartbeat caused him to suddenly fall asleep as Linda carefully grabbed him from her as she held him.

"Thanks. He's taken a liking to you." Linda stated, smiling at the newfound bond the girl had made with Charlie.

God eventually teleported Sunset back to her home, but not before informing Zarachiel of what had transpired that day.

Sunset awoke in her bed, her phone on her nightstand and her journal on her lap. She opened the book, grabbed her pen and started to write to Twilight about what she had been up to.
