Out in the calm sea.

Taylor is sitting near a sand bar watching the moon.

There is the beating of wings and a light splash.

“Hi Luna.” Taylor says 

 

“How could thou tell it was me?” Luna asks

 

“Your wings make a different sound whenever you beat them. I’m willing to bet Celestia’s would be different from you too. The Pegasi have a slight difference between them however they are very similar. You alicorns all sound different in the air.” Taylor says afterall Sonar if used correctly is a very powerful tool.

 

“Hmm, so. I know thou is nocturnal, however something is bothering you this night.” Luna says

 

“I just require very little sleep and prefer to sleep during the day.” Taylor says 

 

“Twilight… mom, I have to tell her. She’s already got this crazy assumption that I’m a ship girl from sunsets world who has run away… I just don’t know how to tell her my world is dead.” Taylor says

 

Luna flinches a little sure she could assume the world Taylor comes from was destroyed by watching her dreams. Yet hearing Taylor confirm it is just another thing.

 

‘They all still think I was a pony before. I honestly wanna stay here and I don’t think they would send me away if I told them the truth… however I lost my humanity, is it too bad to forget what I was and become a happy pony? Would the undersides forgive me? Would dad forgive me?’ Taylor wonders to herself. 

 

Taylor suddenly feels a hoof on her head.

 

“You need to be more trusting. We all love you and wanna help.” Luna says 

 

“Do you think my old friends and family would forgive me?” Taylor asks

 

“If they loved you they would.” Luna says pulling Taylor under her wing.

 

‘I’m gonna be a pony then.’ “Thank Luna!” Taylor says smiling 

 

“Tis no hassle my student.” Luna says 

 

“Also what are those lights over there?” Taylor asks looking toward the land.

 

“That would be the city of maretime bay. A place of equality… I say that but about 50% of their population is Thestrals. The rest is evenly split between the other 3 tribes. After I was banished to the moon, that city didn’t fear my subjects and actually welcomed them openly. There is a saying about the city you know.” Luna says with a smile

 

“What is it?” Taylor asks 

 

“You’ll always have a friend in Maretime bay. You should visit there at some night in the future. It’s a lovely place.” Luna says 

 

“I’ll keep that in mind. I need to start heading back to ponyville.” Taylor says 

 

=================

Back in Canterlot

“How did it go sister?” Celestia asks

 

“I forgot to ask her to stop causing so much paperwork!” Luna shouts stamping her hoof onto the ground.

 

“Mission failed? You’ll get her next time.” Celestia says 

 

“Did thou just make a reference?” Luna asks 

 

“No?” Celestia says

 

“Sister? Why art thou awake?” Luna asks

 

“It’s time to lower the moon and raise the sun.” Celestia says 

 

“Tis that time already?” Luna asks shocked

 

====================

Back in the Equestria girls world.

“I don’t care what y’all say. I ain’t leavin my farm.” Applejack says closing the door in the face of a naval intelligence officer.

 

“Do you at least know where Sunset lives?”

 

“A’h ain’t tellin y’all nothing.” Applejack shouts through the door.

===

 

“So I’ll get to join as a pilot?” Dash asks

 

“That position is to dangerous for someone with your level of importantance.”

 

“Then you can just leave.” Rainbow Dadh says closing the door in the mans face aswell. 

======

Sunset meanwhile is at her bar. Although she’s in her late 20s constantly looking like a teen is about to come back to bite her. That and she has absolutely no proof of citizenship. Now that the government is looking into her it’s gonna be annoying. She holds a glass up to her mouth before she spots a Manila folder on her counter. 

 

“What the buck?” Sunset says setting down the glass of alcohol.

 

Sunset grabs the folder before opening it.

 

“Hey sunset I knew you’d find this eventually. Don’t ask pinkie pie magic, anyways just because I can’t use magic yet doesn’t mean I haven’t found a way to detect it yet. Anyways at some point while you were here you became an alicorn. Your magic level is between Twilight and Celestia. That of course makes you immortal… Anyways considering your immortal and an illegal alien. I’ve manage to put together a cover for you.” The letter says

 

Sunset pulls out the information laughing a bit seeing the USS Sunset.

 

“An aircraft carrier which was never commissioned by the United States, therefore I can’t walk on water and don’t have a rigging. That’s pretty genius. Now I need to burn this folder and I’ll be ready for when they show up. That and I need to open up the bar soon.” Sunset says
