Before Twilight Sparkle ever saved the crystal ponies, before defeating Discord, freeing Luna, meeting all her friends, before all of that, Sunset Shimmer was on the rise to royalty. She never knew it, but one visit back to Equestria changed everything.

"All hail Princess Sunset!"

Sunset Shimmer has fallen in love. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, no one really knows. Mainly because she won't tell anyone who it is. She's too busy struggling with the disbelief that she's actually fallen in love with this world's--

Well, you'll just have to read it to find out!

[Now with a sister story/alternate version written by Feather Freaking Flyer! Read it here!]

Ever since she was a little filly, Scootaloo hasn't gotten to spend Hearth's Warming with anypony else. She never gets invited and she never asks to be included. Hearth's Warming is a day to spend with family and friends, and neither family nor friends seem interested in making her a part of their plans or to include her in any way.

A chance meeting with another pony on Hearth's Warming Day may give her a brighter outlook on the holiday. She doesn't want to be alone, just this once.

Princess Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns is famous across Equestria as a center of academic excellence. Only the best and brightest unicorns are offered places, selected by their academic merit, magical ability and passion for study. To make the admissions process as fair and reliable as possible, all candidates are given three exams by different teams of examiners, who then meet in private to decide which students are most deserving of a place.

Pinkie Pie is a very strange pony. She looks like a normal earth pony, but somehow she can do things beyond the scope of even powerful magic. This breaking of the laws of nature also seems to be unique to her alone, and it makes one wonder... Is she really a pony at all?

‘Twas the midmost of winter and into the town was a place where laughter, and cheer could be found. Ponies roamed through the streets with smiles on their faces, seeing bakeries, toy stores and other neat places.
But this is the part where the story gets weird, for this year's Hearth's Warming turns out worse than they feared. When Ponyville is introduced to its newest invader, a man dressed in black whose name is Darth Vader.

Nightly Terror only wants to dream. Nothing more. But her ability to dream is causing nightmares across Equestria, a big problem for such a small windigo.
(Note on Cover Art: Her mane isn't actually THAT long, I just did that for effect.)

Although I am finished with this story, it is marked incomplete because it isn't as detailed as I'd like. It's more of a practice run.

Celestia's is called by Discord to talk about her actions to defeat Tirek, for he can't help but think that there was something more to her plan than what she says.
