Sunset is eager to help her friends, and two of them happen to need help that only she can provide. How to make a guy get over his crush on a cute, mysterious, magic-wielding girl that occasionally visits from another dimension? Sunset has an answer.

The yacht's wrecked. Spring Break is ruined. The cruise patrons are stranded on a deserted jungle island. And the crew of the yacht just...left them...somehow.

Sure, there'll probably be a boat, or rescue planes, or something, but why wait for all that when there's a perfectly good portal in the middle of the dark, spooky jungle that leads to a shortcut home?

Well, that and a long hike through another dark spooky forest. And a complete change of species.

The story of how the Canterlot High gang got home after the yacht sank.

Filming a movie is never an easy task. Its hard, takes lots of time, and a lot of people to help put together something truly amazing. And with that hard work, comes a lot of fun. Especially when you screw things up on the set...

I know this is late to the party, but I just wanted to try this and see how it would look. Hope you enjoy it, and have a wonderful day guys.

Sunset wakes up and is a pony again. Just... Why? It turns out, the portal is cracked and magic is flowing out of Equestria and into the human world at a rapid rate. Princess Twilight comes over and tries to fix it, but a guest comes unexpectedly.

Rarity X Applejack
Sunset x Twilight (SciTwi)
Twilight x Rainbow Dash

Sunset's saviors never became her friends after Twilight left, they made a promise to Twilight that they never intended to keep, instead of guiding her to the light they left her to rot in the hatred of the student populace. She dealt with nonstop harassment for a month, but one night while she was home she received an out of the blue text from a certain girl known for her kindness asking how she was doing. Things go from there when Sunset responds honestly.

After having her conversation with Fluttershy, Sunset decides that she's not going to take any crap from anybody and she's going to fight back.

This fic includes themes of: Suicide/self harm, Sunshyne shipping, and high school fights.

Twilight Sparkle had climbed to her peak. She had ascended to godhood, seized reign of Equestria.

And she had never felt so alone.

Desperate to escape her isolation, Twilight unsealed her vault and pressed a certain book back into its slot in a well-guarded mirror.

She hadn't stopped to think that after she left, the human world kept crawling on...

It had been a rough week for Sunset after the whole Anon A Miss fiasco left a painful scar on Sunset's soul. Can she get over her pain though and find a little bit of Heaven on Christmas Eve?

Written for the Sunset Shipping Contest: Changing Seasons.

Twenty years. It has been twenty years since the Rainbooms graduated from Canterlot High. Their high school careers, finally looking up after befriending their one-time tormenter, Sunset Shimmer, took a dramatic turn for the worse when she disappeared without a trace, only for them to learn months later that Sunset had died in Equestria.

They never got to say goodbye.

Looking back, some days Twilight Sparkle can hardly credit her own memories. Friendship, Magic and the fiery-haired girl who extended a hand to her when she lost herself... Life moved on, memory faded into dreams, and dreams into mere nostalgia, these days, she can't even recall her face - only a pair of lambent wings and a crown of fiery hair.

Until the day when she found a leather-bound journal with the two-faced Sun sigil of Sunset Shimmer buried deep with the rest of her relics from her school days, and in it, a message from herself...

"Please help Sunset."

Set in the middle of an alternate Season 6, after the events described in the Sunset chapters* of The Sun Never Sets, up to about half way through Chapter 40 - Happy Birthday, this can be read stand-alone but the enjoyment is doubled if you read The Sun Never Sets first.

The prologue functions as a bridge linking The Sun Never Sets to False Dawn, and readers unfamiliar with the former may start reading at chapter 1 with little loss to the overall narrative and reduced confusion.

All credit to the redoubtable Mr Fislewait, pre-reader and editor, for making this entire enterprise possible, and for greatly improving the flow, pacing and consistency of the work. Any mistakes, plot holes and typos are, naturally, entirely his fault my own.

*In other words chapters 2,4,6,8,10,11,12,14,16,18,19,20,21,23,25,27,28,29,31,32,33,34,36,37,38 and the first half of 40. Except certain minor variations which will be made clear in the story itself, the chief amongst which is that Sunset's adventure took place after the events of Friendship Games.

Sunset Shimmer lives in the human world. She has six absolutely wonderful friends and a purposeful life as a defender against dark magic.

And yet she wonders to herself, what would have happened if she had never left her homeland of Equestria? What would be different?

She never thought she'd actually get a chance to find out.
