This story is a sequel to The great Crystal escape

It’s been a year since Flurry Heart sneaked out of a diplomatic meeting to attend ComiCon. And this time their parents scheduled a meeting with the same diplomats she ditched the last time as punishment, now for a whole week. Not only that, but her father has the entire Crystal Guard watching her every move. This time there is no escape, and definitely no ComiCon.

…Right?

SPOILERS: Goth Geek Flurry. Shining Armor wasting a ridiculous amount of military resources to make sure her daughter stays grounded.

This is a direct sequel to The Great Crystal Escape. Reading is recommended but not necessary to understand the story. Also, this is an entry for the Shining is a Terrible Dad competition.

This story is a sequel to A Flurry of Cute

It’s been a few years after your encounter with Flurry Heart. Though you’ve grown to be a college student and became more mature, you still missed the little filly. She was that little bundle of joy you could never resist.

On a fine Christmas Eve, you might’ve just received your present a little earlier than usual. Just a bit.

I did not expect the prequel to blow up like that! Thanks and that’s why I’m making this story!
