Celestia just simply holds her closes.
Oh Sunset…
She places a gentle hand on her cheek.
We both made mistakes in the past… I suppose, we both have our faults in one way or another…
She then wipes the tears from her cheeks, before giving a gentle smile.
One way or another, I forgive you for what happened. I always had because I never stopped giving up on you or stopped loving you, my faithful student…
“I… Oh, gods! I missed you so much!” Sunset cried, digging her face into Celestia’s body, sobbing heavily. “I’m so sorry! I love you! I love you so much! Please don’t go! I don’t want you to go!”
I won’t. I promise you I won’t leave your side, Sunset…
For the next several minutes, Celestia said nothing. It was pitiful to see her former student like this, but it also brought joy to her that she missed her this much. She knew deep down that the little pony she cared for and taught those years ago still cared and loved her so.
She did nothing but embrace Sunset, letting her cry into her, wanting her to get it all out. She knew that Twilight hasn’t heard from her since the Dazzlings were beaten by her, Sunset, and her friends. She had many questions to ask her, but for now, the solar princess simply wanted to enjoy this moment, as she held her close, not wanting to let her go.
She just had her eyes closed, continuously stroking the girl’s hair softly, trying to ease her into smaller sobs to the point she couldn’t cry anymore.
After several minutes, which in her mind felt a longer than that but she didn’t care, she notices that it was a bit calmer now as she opened her eyes and looked down at Sunset, still giving her a gentle smile while continuing to slowly stroke her head, asking in a soft, motherly tone.
Do you feel a little better now, Sunset?
“No… I wanna go home! Please, I don’t wanna stay here anymore! I… I thought they were my friends, but they abandoned me! They wouldn’t listen! I begged them to!” Sunset sobbed. “Mommy, I just wanna go home…”
