This story is a sequel to Misunderstanding
Things are going quite well for the new family of five, Stella is steadily accepting both Sunset and Flare into her life, and Sunset and Flare are starting to adjust to their new life living together in the castle. But there's just one teeny, tiny little problem...the In-Laws. Twilight's parents, along with Shining Armor, Cadance, and their two daughters, Skyla and Hope, are coming down for a friendly little family get-together, and now all Tartarus breaks loose! How will Twilight and Flash explain Sunset to them?! How will Stella explain Flare to Skyla and Hope?! Brace yourselves friends it's going to be a bumpy ride!
Consider the "Other" tag for those ponies not able to be listed.
All Next Gen characters are the creations of Faith-Wolff (story artist for The Bridge: A Godzilla-MLP Crossover)
Poor Sunset. Soooooo....... is Twilight willing to share?
aahhh this is a WONDERFUL first chapter~!
i love Twilight's quiet actions to each member of her family, especially Sunset's. i'm just a sucker for that hhh ;w;
and i ADORE Stella's room layout
it makes perfect sense! Twilight wouldn't want to keep worrying about Stella disappearing to the observatory, so, bring it to her~!
wonderful work! i can't wait to see how this all goes~! 8D
5718364 Thank you Faith, I will try not to disappoint. Slice-of-Life ain't usually my thing but we'll see how this goes.
5718301 Now c'mon, this isn't that kind of story. But...ahem...friendship is magic, after all.
5718378 Friendship is indeed magic.
and sharing is caring!
Oh boy! This is going to be CRAZY!!!!!
Something tells me that Twilight did forget about that family get together, most likely because of Sunset and Flare suddenly living in the castle. Also, major déjà vu! Magical Mystery Cure all over again.
I suppose that's fair.
Good idea.
Oh no, poor Sunset...
Daaw....
Yet last time she sang that, Magical Mystery Cue happened. You'd think she'd be more Genre Savvy.
Her mother.
I tried to warn you Twilight.
I admit, I AM curious to see where this goes as I got a good few laughs out of this thing's prequel story, so, yeah. Imma fave and follow this.
Is there a story detailing Sunset and Flare's arrival in Equestria?
I know it was kinda summarized last story, but I'd really like to see that from Flare's pov. For starters...she was presumably born human, and raised as such til her dad died..so how long has she known her mom was actually a magical unicorn pony from another dimension? How hard was it for her to adjust to being a Pegasus? Did she leave any friends(possibly counterparts to the ponies from last fic) behind?
5720798 To my knowledge there is none that Faith-Wolff has provided other than how he died. But if she doesn't that might be a sad fic for me to write when this one's done.
Well this is another fine story I wounder what's going to happen.
I hope we have a sweet road a head.
I SHIP THE THREEWAY!
Also is Celestia the surrogate mother of Sunset Shimmer?
Interesting, I had seen the comic series that started this storyline and the vast quantities of art being made for The Bridge, but I hadn't realized both were from the same artist.
Anyway, fun story (both this and the previous one), should be fun to see the family awkwardness. Poor Sunset, though.
5722598 In the same sense that she is to Twilight, as far as I know anyway.
5724497 Yeah, funny how that happens.
5722451 Sweet yet bumpy my friend.
5726563 ...
I mean as in that she unknowingly adopted her like in My Secret Life as A Changeling Monarch where Sunset's parents died.
That title...
5726607 Ah, honestly, never thought about that, but no. Do mean in the story canon or Faithverse canon . Also didn't read that story.
Okay, that was hilarious. Can't wait for more
Or more!
POLYGAMY!
FOR THE WIN!
Wait, I thought it was the Dimension of Spirit and Time.
He only kept calling it that because you kept mispronouncing it.
Makes sense.
That was a lot of paperwork.
Holy shit.
I, see.
Nice.
Getting Lesson Zero flashbacks here...
Oh.
Still not very long.
Yep.
Smart Flash. Though maybe Twilight's parents will understand or something if you explain everything rationally and calmly.
True, and she's a very nice pony.
Probably.
Please stop there. Also, you double spaced between trying and to.
Poor kid.
Yes!
Smart stallion.
Oh hilariously so.
Oh yeah.
Stella's lucky Equestria doesn't run on D&D rules, or making a pocket plane within a pocket plane would have gotten her and Flare sucked through a tear in reality.
"Flare separated from Flare and ran to her mother, hugging her tightly."
the second "Flare" should be "Stella". just letting you know!
in regards to this chapter:
Flash you lil perv!
i really like the idea of this "pocket dimension"! very inventive!
great job, i can't wait for the next chapter~!
5748314 Oh yes, but this is Stella, she's smarter than that.
5748790 Doh!
How did I miss that?! Thank you, and I'm glad you're enjoying this. 
5720770 Thanks for pointing that out, I'll fix that right up.
Aweomse chapter! Loved Stella screaming TWO HOURS!
5767925 Glad you enjoyed the funny, will try to keep it coming.
5777946 neat! Can't wait for the next chapter.

"Um sweetie, I doubt that will work."
STILL GREAT!
Great chapter.
Well that went well.
Major case of padding here. I don't think it was really necessary to go into detail for the recaps of the movies. We know what happend, so it's unnecessary to go beyond maybe a paragraph explaining that they told the newcommers the story of the first movie, then cut to their reactions to it, rinse and repeat for the telling of Rainbow Rocks.
lovely chapter!
i can't wait to read further into this
5891940 Just because we know what happened doesn't mean Twilight's family know what happened.
I think there's some confusion in the text towards the beginning about how many family members are visiting. The description is of Twilight's parents, Shining and Cadance, and Hope and Skyla getting off the train, but then it says four ponies gather up their luggage and then a little later that five ponies are continuing through town towards the castle.
As for Twilight's plan of not telling anyone who Sunset's husband was, it is so going to backfire hard.
5894178
That may be, but from a narrative standpoint, such an extensive recap is BORING and should have been whittled down so that over half the chapter wasn't basically a giant literary clip show.
It. Is. Not. DEAD!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
So... Sunset's husband died, but now she lives with another version of him that's not even married to her? Harsh
Okay, good story so far. Still, the whole truth needs to come out eventually.
This is so good. Please continue
