Sunset and Zarachiel had flown back to their apartment in the span of seconds. They landed and tucked their wings away from sight of anyone watching.

Sunset walked into her room and sat on her bed. She unfurled her wings and looked at them, gazing over the red and gold feathers that created the large celestial limb.

She noticed that her father had seemed overjoyed when he saw her wings for the first time. Deep down she felt she didn't deserve wings, as it would make her an alicorn.

Sunset's self-hatred was still rooted deep, and it would take a lot of healing to fix herself. She knew that her teachers, Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna had forgiven her. Even her new friends had also forgiven her for what she had done.

She hoped her father would approve of her new friends. She forgave Octavia, Lyra, Bon-Bon, Derpy and Trixie after the Battle Of The Bands. After talking with them she'd befriended them and gotten to know them better than she knew her former friends.

Trixie, to her surprise, loved cooking and wanted to know more about Equestrian magic. Vinyl had invited her to one of her nightclub parties. Octavia would also turn up to play with Vinyl. Derpy also loved baking and would often bake with Trixie after school had finished.

She'd also managed to befriend The Dazzlings. To her surprise, the amulets they wore caused them nothing but constant hunger and strife. Once they had been destroyed the three sisters felt so much better and thanked Sunset for it.

Lightning Dust had spent time with her playing soccer and teaching each other new and different skills. Aria had taught Sunset multiple martial arts. Sonata taught her how to bake Tacos, Derpy taught her how to bake muffins and Trixie taught her how to bake Brownies.

She loved her new friends. It helped her deal with the students who sent in messages to Anon-A-Miss. They'd tried to apologize to her, but it wasn't sincere or truly meant.

Sunset smiled and played a few riffs on her guitar, choosing to play Sunshine by the Reign Of Kindo. It had become her favorite song to play and listen to when she felt down.

Though she would never admit it, she missed her mother, Princess Celestia. How she wished she could be in her mother's hooves once more, kept safe and warm under her wings.

She shed a tear as it dripped down her cheek and inbetween her guitar strings. She hoped that her mother could forgive her, but she knew she'd never get to hear it from her.

"Because I'm a coward and too scared to face her." Sunset thought to herself as she kept on playing till she finished the song.

Once the calming and upbeat melody finished, she went through her playlist to find which song she could try and play.

She was interrupted by her father walking into her room. Zarachiel gazed at Sunset, noticing the tearstains on her cheeks. He walked over and sat down next to Sunset on her bed.

"You okay, kiddo?" He asked softly, tussling her hair as he unfurled his wings. He moved his left one and wrapped it around his little fledgling in comfort.

Sunset sighed as she leaned into the wing. She felt drowsy ever so slightly and rested her head on her father's shoulder.

Zarachiel smiled and ran his fingers through Sunset's hair. Eventually, she fell asleep, a smile on her lips. Zarachiel quietly left her room and stared over the balcony.

Suddenly, a flap of wings made itself known behind him as Zarachiel turned around to face his brother.

The angel in question had white skin, black hair, blue eyes and wore a white button up shirt with the top button undone. The angel was also wearing a blue tie, wore a cream-colored trenchcoat and wore black boots.

"Hello, Zarachiel." Castiel said, his eyes showing sadness behind them. Lucifer, Amenadiel, Zarachiel, Ariel, Sariel and Castiel were their own clique of siblings when they were growing up.

"What do you want, Cas?" Growled Zarachiel, his white and gold wings flared in anger. Castiel unfurled his own golden wings as the two brothers stared each other down.

"Leave Castiel, you're not wanted nor needed here. Go back to Sam and Dean Winchester. And don't forget Jack." Zarachiel remarked, furling his wings back in.

"I merely want to meet my niece. Is that such a bad thing?" Castiel questioned. He'd always respected and cared about Zarachiel. Even when he'd been banished alongside Lucifer he'd still cared about him.

"She's asleep. Dad knows she needs it. She's been through a lot lately. I'm not adding more stress to what she's going through right now." Zarachiel retorted.

The bickering of the two siblings was enough to wake Sunset from her sleep. She yawned and walked out to the balcony. She looked over at the man opposite her father.

"Dad, who are you talking to?" Sunset asked, taking her eyes off of the trenchcoat-wearing angel in front of her.

Zarachiel sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose. This was not how he wanted Sunset to meet him.

"Sunset, this is my brother, your Uncle Castiel. Castiel, this is my daughter Sunset Shimmer." Sunset looked over at Castiel and shook his hand, catching the Seraphim off guard.

"Oh, erm, hey kid. What my brother says is true. I'm sorry I never got to meet you earlier. It's nice to meet you." Castiel said, smiling somewhat.

Sunset shot her father a confused look as Castiel just chuckled.

"I must be getting back to The Bunker now. It was nice to meet you. Perhaps we could spend some time together?" Castiel suggested as he flew off.

Zarachiel just sighed once more, earning a giggle from Sunset as she went back to her room to sleep.
