《The Savior Of CHS》Chapter 16: Reunions And Confessions
Advertisement
About a week had passed since the events of the Battle of the Bands as everything went back to being relatively normal... for the most part that is.
The memory of you being evil and helping out the Dazzlings was still rather fresh in people's minds as some of the students were acting rather scared of you whenever you were around them. While you did understand why they felt that way, it still hurt knowing that your reputation here had been damaged in more ways than one. Much like with Sunset, you had to do all you could to gain everyone's trust back so that they wouldn't fear you anymore. Fortunately, thanks to the help of the girls as well as Sunset, you didn't have to do it alone.
Speaking of the girls, they pretty much became the most popular group in the school thanks to their victory over your evil self and the Dazzlings.
As for the Dazzlings, no one had seen them since that night. Most students assumed that they had left town in order to escape the shame of their defeat. Others assumed that they just straight up disappeared never to return. Deep down, you couldn't shake this feeling that you were going to run into them again someday, but you didn't know when exactly.
As for Sunset Shimmer, everyone at school had finally forgiven her for her past actions as she was now accepted by the entire student body. You had to admit, you were a little bit jealous of her for that, but you managed to push those feelings aside and be happy for her.
Besides all of that, everything had returned to the status quo. Although, little did any of you know that things were going to change for you... in a romantic sort of way.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a Friday afternoon as Sunset Shimmer was in her home by herself. Yesterday, she decided to have a wardrobe change as she was now wearing a new outfit.
She was idly going through her mail until she came across one envelope that made her gut wrench. She opened it and sighed sadly upon seeing the contents.
Sunset Shimmer: This is not good. I can only afford one more month of rent and that'll be it.
She said to herself in a worried voice. You see, ever since Sunset Shimmer first came to this world, she was able to get by with money that she got when she sold all of the jewelry and gems she stole from the Canterlot Castle Treasury all those years ago. But now... now she was starting to hurt for money.
Sunset Shimmer: I guess I'll need to find a job soon. But, where would I even get one?
She asked herself before thinking about what she was going to do. However, the more she thought about it, the more stressed it made her feel. She then decided to go for a walk to try and take her mind off of it for a while. She put her boots on and left her soon to be vacant home. She walked silently while in thought for several moments before she realized that she had absentmindedly walked to the front of your house. She stared at it for a moment or two while thinking to herself.
Sunset Shimmer: ** Hmm, I wonder if Y/N's willing to hang out with me today.
She thought before she walked up to your front door and rang the doorbell. She waited for a brief minute before your mother answered the door and smiled upon seeing her.
(M/N): Oh, hello there Sunset. This is quite a surprise.

Sunset Shimmer: I know. I was just going for a walk until I absentmindedly got here. I was actually wondering if Y/N was willing to hang out with me today.
(M/N): Umm, maybe. Hang on, let me go check on him.
Sunset nodded before your mom went back inside the house. Meanwhile, you were in your room idly playing a game while getting frustrated with it.
(Y/N): How could you betray me Kruk?! I promoted you to warchief and you turn around and put in axe in my shoulder?! Gah!!
You said in an irritated voice. You loved this game to bits, but it did get really difficult sometimes. As you continued playing, a knock came from your door before your mom poked her head in through the gap.
(M/N): Y/N sweetie, Sunset's here to see you.
You looked at your mom in surprise.
(Y/N): Really? Tell her I'll be down in a second.
She nodded before leaving. After turning off your console, you walked downstairs and went to the front door where Sunset was waiting.
(Y/N): Hey, what's up Sunset?
Sunset Shimmer: Hey Y/N. I was just going for a walk and I was wondering if you were willing to join me.
(Y/N): Sure, let's go.
You said before walking outside and closing the front door behind you as the two of you left.
(Y/N): So, how have things been with you lately, Sunset?
She was about to answer before she began to grow nervous on the inside as a result of your question. She did her best to try and hide it though as she responded.
Sunset Shimmer: I'm... I'm fine.
Little did she know, you were easily able to catch on to how she hesitated. She seemed to not be in the mood to talk about whatever it was though, so you decided to let it slide for now. She quickly got rid of her sad look and threw on a smile while looking at you.
Sunset Shimmer: How are things with you?
(Y/N): ** Still trying to prove to everyone that I'm not gonna obliterate them if they even slightly tick me off.
You said sadly. Sunset looked at you in sympathy. She knew all too well what you were going through since she obviously went through the exact same thing. She placed a hand on your shoulder which made you look at her.
Sunset Shimmer: It's like you told me before Y/N, they'll come around eventually. It won't be immediate, but given time, they won't be afraid of you anymore.
You nodded before grinning slightly.
(Y/N): I know, I know. Heh, it's funny, isn't it? Some time ago, the girls and I were trying to help you with fixing your reputation at the school, now it's you all trying to help me fix my reputation. Talk about total role reversal.
Sunset Shimmer: Heh, yeah. I get what you mean.
You both chuckled. You two continued your stroll through Canterlot until you made it to CHS. As you walked by the school itself, Sunset took a moment to stop and look at it. You also stopped and looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
(Y/N): You alright, Sunset?
Sunset didn't utter a single word as she continued to stare. You followed her gaze to the Wondercolts Statue. At first, you were confused as to why that was the current object of attention to her at the moment before realization struck you. Due to Twilight's tinkering, the portal was now open 24/7. This meant that literally anyone could travel to and from this world and Equestria whenever they wanted. You also began to realize something else as you glanced at Sunset.

(Y/N): You're... you're homesick... aren't you?
She looked back at you with a surprised look.
Sunset Shimmer: W-Well... maybe. It's just that now that the portal is back open I can't help but get this feeling of... wanting to visit Equestria.
You looked back and forth from her to the portal for a few seconds before an idea came to your mind.
(Y/N): Hey, why don't you and I ask Twilight if we can come over? If you want, that is.
She zipped her head to look at you while feeling rather shocked by your request.
Sunset Shimmer: R-Really? You wanna come with me to Equestria?
(Y/N): Sure. It'd be nice to see what it's like there. Are you up for it?
Sunset then grew uncertain as she looked down at the floor.
Sunset Shimmer: U-Um, I don't know. If we do end up going to Equestria, there's a good chance that you, me, and Twilight will wanna go and explore not just Ponyville, but also Canterlot. And I'm just afraid that... Princess Celestia wouldn't wanna see me.
She said in a saddened and hesitant voice. You were about to ask her why she thought that before you remembered. She hadn't apologized yet to Princess Celestia for everything she did while under her tutelage.
(Y/N): You're afraid that she'll immediately turn you away, aren't you?
She nodded sadly. You walked in front of her and grabbed the sides of her arms. She looked at you as a result.
(Y/N): Look Sunset, I think it's about time that you see her and made up with her. I'm sure that Twilight has told her everything about how you helped out during the Battle of the Bands and also about how rough your life was while living with your step-parents, so there's a good chance that she'll be willing to forgive you. You just need to take the initiative and go for it. And don't worry, you won't have to do it alone. Twilight and I can back you up in case if she doesn't believe you.
She looked at you while still feeling somewhat uncertain.
Sunset Shimmer: Are... are you really willing to come with me and help?
You nodded while a grin was plastered on your face. After hearing your words, Sunset grew more and more sure of herself before she smiled warmly at you and pulled you into a hug.
Sunset Shimmer: Thank you Y/N. I think it's about time that I paid my old home and my former mentor a visit.
You nodded again while holding her.
(Y/N): Yeah, I agree. But first, we should probably tell Twilight that we're planning on coming over.
You both ended the hug.
Sunset Shimmer: Umm, I don't exactly have my journal with me at the moment. So, I can't exactly tell Twilight right this moment. Heh heh.
She said while feeling slightly sheepish.
(Y/N): No worries. I'll just pop on over to your place and get it for you.
You said before quickly snapping your fingers and teleporting away. A few seconds passed before you teleported back while also having a sheepish look .
(Y/N): I uh... I don't really know where you keep it.
Sunset giggled at that.
Sunset Shimmer: It's in the drawer by my bed. You can't miss it.
(Y/N): Right, be back in a sec.
You teleported away again. A few moments passed before you teleported back with the journal as well as a pen to write with. You handed both of them to Sunset as she began writing her message to Twilight down by saying that you and her were thinking of visiting. After the message was sent, you and Sunset waited for Twilight's response until the journal glowed and vibrated signifying that Twilight was writing back. You read her note.
Twilight Sparkle (Through writing): You guys are coming over?! This is great! It'll be nice seeing you two again! I'll be waiting by the portal for you two to arrive.
Her writing stopped while you and Sunset smiled at each other. Sunset responded by saying that you'll both be there soon before you made your way over to the mirror portal. You both stood in front of the mirror while bracing yourselves for the trip through.
(Y/N): You ready?
You asked. She nodded with a look of determination.
Sunset Shimmer: I am. Let's go.
With that said, you and Sunset stepped through the portal as it flashed a bright light while you and her traveled through a rainbow colored tunnel.
(Y/N): I think I'm gonna be siiiiiiiiiiiick!!
You said while you flew and spun around through the portal. Due to being distracted by that, you failed to notice that your body was changing as a bright light enveloped you.
Soon after that, you felt yourself fly through the air before rolling on the floor comedically and crashing into a wall while upside down.
???: Y/N! Are you okay?!
You heard a familiar female voice ask in concern. Stars could be seen floating in circles around your head as a result of the rolling before you shook them away and got rid of the dizziness. You looked up and saw a pony with a pale, light grayish mulberry coat, moderate violet eyes, and a dark sapphire blue mane with moderate purple and brilliant raspberry streaks.
(Y/N): Twilight? Is... Is that really you?
Twilight Sparkle: It sure is. Here, let me help you.
Her horn glowed before a magical aura surrounded you and lifted you up into the air and set you back down right side up.
(Y/N): Heh, thanks Twi.
Twilight Sparkle: No problem.
(Y/N): So, this is what you really look like, huh?
Twilight Sparkle: Uh-huh. From the day that I was born to the present. You're a pony too, you know?
Your eyes widened at hearing that before you noticed that you were no longer standing up right. You were on four legs with hooves at the end of each of them.
(Y/N): Hey, you're right! I'm a pony! Check me out! I can whinny!
You whinnied.
(Y/N): I can buck!
You brought your hind legs up and kicked the air. You then started trotting around the room.
(Y/N): Look at me, Twilight! I'm... trotting!
Twilight giggled at your goofing around. You then stopped upon realizing something.
(Y/N): Wait, where's Sunset?
Sunset Shimmer: Over here Y/N.
She called out as you looked and saw Sunset in her pony form. She had a brilliant amber coat, a brilliant amaranth mane with light apple green stripes, and moderate cyan eyes. On her flank was the image of a shimmering sun.
(Y/N): Huh, so this is what you really look like, Sunset?
Sunset Shimmer: Sure is. Man, it's been a while since I've seen myself like this.
(Y/N): So, what do I look like as a pony?
Twilight Sparkle: See for yourself.
She said before pointing at a mirror that had all sorts of machinery attached to it. It didn't take long for you to piece together what this was.
(Y/N): I'm guessing that's the crystal mirror which links this world and my world together?
Twilight Sparkle: Yes, you should still be able to see yourself in the reflection though.
You walked over to the mirror and got a good look at yourself. You were able to see that you were a pony and that you had a horn on top of your head.
(Y/N): Huh, this is actually really cool. I'm a unicorn, it seems.
Meanwhile, Twilight and Sunset stared at you wide eyed and with their mouths agape which you soon noticed when you turned back to them.
(Y/N): What's wrong?
Sunset Shimmer: Umm, Y/N? You're not a unicorn. Look.
She pointed as you followed her gaze to your pony body. You saw that you also had a pair of wings at your sides.
(Y/N): I have wings?
Sunset Shimmer: Y/N, you're... you're... you're an alicorn! The rarest and most powerful type of pony in Equestria!
(Y/N): Seriously?
Twilight Sparkle: I should have known. When you sang and played your guitar during the final moments of the Battle of the Bands, you grew wings. At first, I thought that you were a pegasus, but it's obvious now that I was clearly wrong.
You then looked at the rest of your body until your eyes wandered to your flank where you saw an image that looked like burning wings in the shape of a heart.
(Y/N): Woah! What's this?
Twilight Sparkle: That's a Cutie Mark.
(Y/N): Cutie Mark?
Sunset Shimmer: It's basically a physical representation of a pony's true calling in life. In other words, their special talent.
(Y/N): Huh, that's interesting.
Twilight Sparkle: Anyways, it's so nice seeing you two again, even if it's only been a short while since the Battle of the Bands.
(Y/N): It's great seeing you too Twi.
You did a quick look around at the interior of her home.
(Y/N): Wow, this is a nice castle you got.
Sunset Shimmer: Yeah, I'm glad that we finally get to see it.
Twilight Sparkle: Thanks you two.
Sunset then turned to Twilight while now displaying a serious expression.
Sunset Shimmer: Twilight, there's something you should know. Y/N and I aren't here just to visit. We came here because... I also wanna make things right with Princess Celestia.
Twilight's eyes widened after hearing this sudden news as her mouth was agape.
Twilight Sparkle: O-Oh, that's unexpected. Are you sure you want to do this right now?
Sunset Shimmer: I am. The longer I wait the more stressed out and anxious I'll get.
You nodded in agreement.
Twilight Sparkle: Well, alright then. I'll take you guys to Canterlot in this case. But first things first, Y/N, we're gonna need to hide your wings.
(Y/N): Hide my wings? What for?
Twilight Sparkle: Because if the other ponies were to see that you're an alicorn, it'll most likely attract some unwanted attention since they'll think that you're possibly royalty or something.
(Y/N): Huh, okay then. How are we gonna do that exactly?
