Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are best friends. They have been best friends for as long as they could remember.

But something happened one day. Something that made Rainbow Dash realize just how important Fluttershy really was to her.

1st person perspective from the eyes of Rainbow Dash.

A personal headcanon story that I've been mulling around for a while about Equestria Girls, that I finally got to writing. And you can thank the FlutterDash group's 'Change' contest for inspiring me to finally get it down into words.

Warning: Contains themes of abuse

*Featured October 3rd, 2016* Thank you for the feature~ It always means a lot to me!

This story is a sequel to Luna's Bump

Princess Luna is having her foal.

The best medical staff are at hoof to ensure a safe delivery that can be celebrated across Equestria, but there is one more surprise left.

This story can be continued further to Luna's Tryst.

Princess Celestia has finally decided to introduce her two prized pupils to each other, hoping that together they'll finally start to appreciate the beauty and magic of friendship. Sunset may be proud and brash, and Twilight might be obsessive and oblivious at times, but surely they'll get along fine, right?

They'll go above and beyond that in time, but the road they'll take to get there is a rocky one.

One day, Twilight Sparkle discovers something amazing about her friend Sunset Shimmer.

She's a magical talking pony!

This requires investigation! Science! Possibly a full-body physical!

Or maybe Twilight will just ask her what's up with that.

Rated Teen for frank discussions about... y'know.

Princess Celestia has something to tell Sunset Shimmer.

Something about her parents.

It's nothing strange at all.

Yep.

Rated Teen and Sex for a very brief mention of how babies are made.

This story is a sequel to Sunset Shimmer's Very Respectable Class Reunion

Sunset Shimmer tries her hoof at Equestrian diplomacy. After all, she had an entire high school full of hormonal primate teenagers eating out of her hoof... hand. A bunch of pleasant, sedate ungulates should totally be a cinch, especially with Twilight's help.

What could possibly go wrong?

Yeah.

This time at least, it is very clearly all Sunset's fault.

The awesome cover vector is by Umbra-Neko (who also has a whole gallery of similar vectors with different ponies) and used with her very kind permission.

This story can be enjoyed without reading its prequels.

Rated Teen and Sex for mentions of egregious sexual irresponsibility. No actual sex.

Contains minor (Pony) SunLight shipping. I'm sorry, I can't help it.

It turns out that Sunset Shimmer's final letters to Princess Celestia before her exile were not filled with resentment or remorse.

There might have been a lot more frantic running away involved.

But whatever the case, it was definitely not Sunset's fault.

At all.

Rated Teen and Sex for mentions of egregious sexual irresponsibility. No actual sex.

Contains minor Sunlight shipping. Much apologies.

Izzy doesn't get why ponies don't want to be friends. Sunny doesn't get why the little purple unicorn makes her feel the way she does. Turns out there are a lot of things both of them just don't get.

Izzy pops a question that Sunny could never have seen coming.

Please extend Bicyclette kudos for the exquisite title.

❤️ For my Sunny ❤️

It's been a rough two weeks for Sunny Starscout. She expected her Bridlewood vacation to be simple- relax with Izzy, see the town, and have fun.

Izzy has other ideas. Namely going on an adventure. Cause adventures are fun and Sunny likes those a lot, even if she says otherwise. And if Izzy has a few ideas on what to say to her best friend after the adventure? Even better.

Cause Bridlewood has ruins that Sunny would just love to visit.
