This is an unofficial sequel to Smarty Daddy by Akumokagetsu

Original coverart from here with a slight alteration. I know it's basically the same as it's predecessor's coverart, but i couldn't find anything that fitted better

Twilight thought that, once the spell on Smarty Pants wore off, she wouldn't have to worry about it again. However, several weeks later, Applejack comes, begging for her friend's help.

Big Macintosh has gone into a depression the likes of which nopony could've ever expected of the stallion. He's not eating, barely sleeping, and spends all his time in his room, crying as he clutches the Smarty Pants doll.

Twilight, upon hearing Smarty Pants is involved realizes what has brought Big Macintosh to this state. However, her spells won't be strong enough to fix this, so she calls on Discord, hoping he will be willing to help.

It started out as a normal day. The crusaders had a new idea for getting cutie marks, and then Apple Bloom borrowed Applejack's hat for something without asking.

Suddenly... it was no longer a normal day.

PRINCESS TWILIGHT SPARKLE: DEAD AT 18

TELEPORTATION INVARIABLY FATAL, WARNS LEADING SCHOLAR

One look at the headline of the Canterlot Times and Twilight knew that she should have slept in today. But at least none of her friends would be silly enough to believe she was killing herself every time she teleported, right?

Hey, someone forgot this show was made for eight-year-old girls, but thankfully we can weave a tale of post apocalyptic survival without alienating our core demographic. Come and journey with me into Fallout Equestria, TV-Y.

After ascending to Princesshood, Twilight decides that it's time to really take the notion of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body" to heart. She has the "Sound Mind" bit down (mostly), but years of sitting inside hunched over a book has given her quite a bit of ground to make up on the "Sound Body" front.

Fortunately, she has an athletic friend to help her out.

Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns is the center of magical research in Equestria. Since Apple Bloom developed a love of potion making and an interest in the theory behind magic, she recognizes what an honor it would be to study there. But that would also mean being the only non-unicorn student to ever attend, leaving her friends and family, and moving to a strange city... and that's if she can pass an entrance exam designed to select the most magically gifted unicorns.

Spike has never wanted more than to be Twilight's number one assistant. But when Twilight points out that there's a pony right in front of him who needs an experienced assistant even more than she does, it means considering a life where he's making the most of his talents... but one without Twilight by his side.

For both of them, facing hard decisions are just part of growing up.

Love doesn't always find a way.

Note: I am aware that this is poorly written. You're probably better off just skipping this and reading The Three Notes, which is slightly better and stands well enough on its own.

Big Macintosh is the sexiest stallion in town...and he hates it. Endless mares harass him and his family; he becomes convinced he'll never find the one. Or maybe he will in the last mare he expected. Meanwhile, Twilight tries to open up to a relationship while struggling with the stress of being Celestia's student and the consequences of her decisions.
