So what does one do upon finding out that their best friend (and lately a bit more than that) has been hiding something from them? Namely, the fact that, once a month, they transform into the body of a destructive dark angel and spend the night hiding in their room?

Well, if you're Sunset Shimmer, you ask Twilight a magiphysiological question.

Life at Crystal Prep is tough, but so is Sunset. The school demands the best from the best, and she’s happy to prove she’s the cream of the crop. Having an amazing girlfriend doesn’t hurt either.

Even if thinking too hard about that girlfriend does.

“Wake up."

The rough voice resonated with pleasantness.

“I need you.”

The female voice felt familiar.

“I cannot lose you!”

Where was she?

In the wake of Camp Everfree and the latest in a long line of raging she-demons, Sunset’s dreams lead her down a familiar path of memories. She’s never been one to pass up an opportunity; it’s high time to ask a question that’s been bothering her since the Friendship Games.

That’s the plan, anyway. One of the many problems with seeking wisdom from demons is that you get far more than what you wanted to know.

Winner of Bicyclette's SciSet Contest and Reactception's Sunset x Midnight contest, graciously beta-read by MarvelandPonder. Rated Teen for suggestive content well north of what the Dazzlings got away with.

Sunset happily takes on all her marital responsibilities, even when it means getting up in the middle of the night to have a long, comforting talk with her wife.
No, the other one.

This story is a sequel to Star Wars Episode IV, Rise of the Rebellion

The battle against the Empire continues for the Rebels, and many familiar faces start to emerge from hiding to join the Rebellion to fight. But as the Rebels work to build their forces, the shadow of the Empire continues to loom over them...

Twilight is anxious. Her evil half, Midnight Sparkle, lives on in her head, and she fears for her return, should she falter in her control of her mind. Sunset Shimmer truly believes that the evil portion of her, Supernova Shimmer, is gone forever. Both of their worst fears come to pass when a new student. Winter Haze joins Canterlot High, and all hell breaks loose.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

Midnight Sparkle has left a lot behind in her quest for the secrets of power, beyond the constraints of the Jedi Order she once served. She has answered the call of the dark, and in doing so, abandoned her old identity and purged her old connections with painful finality.

Yet as she seeks the knowledge of a powerful Jedi holocron that once lay outside her reach, she's confronted by a face she never thought she'd see again...

For those familiar with Star Wars (the story does not require more than a basic knowledge of series lore), this story takes place at an unspecified point in the galaxy's history, and features some creative departures with the canonical depiction of Jedi holocrons.

Everyone has to sleep eventually—everyone, which means that at some point Sunset's new roommate is going to have to stop messing around with her computer and go to bed. But somehow the one-and-only Twilight Sparkle doesn't need to obey the laws of the universe, and therefore she might just be the one-and-only person who never sleeps.
