Now with double-spacing thanks to Eris Q Rose! 
Blog Post can be found here giving some background and details about H2O.
Expelled, again, by another version of Celestia forces Sunset to reevaluate her life and relationships. Not seeing a reason to stay where she obviously doesn't feel wanted, Sunset leaves Canterlot and travels south and arrives in Dolphin City just as Summer Vacation is starting.
There she will learn that this world isn't as empty of magic as she believed as she reluctantly makes a new group of friends who teach her what true friendship is about. They say the third time is the charm, will this third chance be the thing that Sunset is looking for and what will happen when her old friends come looking to make things up to her? Will she accept their apologies and return to Canterlot, or will she stay where she feels she belongs?
This is a crossover with H2O: Mermaid Adventures on Netflix.
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is owned by Hasbro.
The H2O series is owned by ZDEF and 2DF.Enterprises.
P.S. For a more light hearted x-over with H2O, check out H2Orse by VitalSpark
alright Never saw the series but will look it up. Pissed as hell Celestia expelled Sunset, and hope to see a chapter on her thoughts and regrets very much.
Also like to see the three who caused all this to be guilt ridden and hated by the school for a bit or at least get scolded super hard by their families.
Hope Twilight lays it on Celestia as well.
6031022 Finally finished the blog for this story giving some details behind the H2O side and can be found here.
It's a good series, thing to like about each of the 3 different H2O series to like as well as some stuff to hate. Overall and awesome series no matter which you watch. There will at least be a scene with Celestia. The CMC are in a shitload of trouble, no doubt about that. And Twilight has yelled at her too, which will be shown in a flashback during Celestia's scene so enjoy!
Wow, I never seen the H2O series, but this story is awesome! Your blog was really in depth and I can tell you've done your research. Can't wait for more
6066029 Thanks, I put a lot of work into the blog, especially editing the pics for it. I felt it was especially needed to introduce people who had no idea what H2O was to it. Truth be told, the series is awesome and I do love the animation, it seems most people prefer the live action. The animation seems to be you either love it or hate it and admittedly actually geared at a young audience though I have to say I like it better for some things and like the live action for others. I'm still not done watching Mako Mermaids and wasn't really planning on using anything from the series except for Sirena's powers as a template for Sunset's, but I might put a mention somewhere in there about them. I'm not sure yet as some of the new stuff that I've been seeing I might have to use.
Thankies, really awesome that you like the story so far.
I'm trying to balance the characters some between the three groups for now until Sunset becomes more involved in the H2O group. 
Yay! Cool new chapter
At first I was a bit confused on why she would have more powers than the others, but it kinda makes sense now because it is based on magic, and she is very magically inclined
6067688 Yeppers, Sunset inherited more power quicker than Cleo, Emma & Rikki because she's already extremely naturally inclined to magic. So she inherited a full set of powers like the mermaids in Mako Mermaids which is a spinoff.
Love the newest chapter. Like the tention between the girls and hope Emma learns the truth about rikki.
See how the crusaders are n so much trouble, hope they feel just as guilty as well.
Wonder how Sunset will react when she finds out they were the ones who ruined her life at Canterlot.
6068336 Thanks and no worries, the girls are close though the incident with the reward money and Rikki's fear of her friends rejecting her if they find out about where she lives and her home life is causing tension that has been causing arguments with them. It won't last very long though. The brats, I mean the girls of he CMC do feel guilty and are pretty much in a shitload of trouble with not only the school, but their parents as well. Sunset won't be too happy with the little brats, I mean girls when she finds out.
I was whooping when i saw the newest update, great chapter and glad to see Sunset having met Rkki and gotten to know her. Even if it was just for a moment.
Seems Sunset hadn't forgotten all the lessons she learned even if her friends were bucking morons and failed her when she need them the most.
speaking of them love the parts on the Rainbooms and how they are reacting and thinking...wonder the CMC will be forced to confront her and confess so they can apologize....BRRRRR imagine how furious she will be at them....
6083594 Thanks, I was going to have Sunset meet up with Kim first, but thought maybe introducing her to some of the others first a little might be good. What can I say, Sunset is an awesome student and learns things quick even if her teachers aren't always the best. Sunset's reunions isn't going to go well with any of the RBooms, but the CMC better hope she doesn't explode when she finds out their role in things. Thanks, it's awesome that you are enjoying the snippets of the RBooms and CHS side of things .
Nice! Love how you wrote Sunset handling Rikki's and Emma problem, and helping to clear up any misunderstandings, alos nice cliff hanger there too.
Again love the thoughts on Apple Jack and the info on the CMC, seems they realize how badly they screwed up as well too.
Not just the Rainbooms.
Look forward tot he next chapter.
Thanks for all the support, you're awesome! Happy that you liked how Sunset went about trying to fix things between Rikki and Emma and the cliff hanger with the shark and Kim. All of the girls, RBooms & CMC together know how bad the screwed up and regret it, but they aren't the only ones as Celestia also regrets what she did also. Hope the rest of the story turns out as awesome and you enjoy!
Yay! A new chapter! And meetings! I'm really excited for the next chapter
(sorry for not having much to say, it's not personal, I'm just not a very critical person 
)
6089746
No big, if you are liking the story I'm happy! 
Kim: I once thought my sister was a mermaid.
Sunset: Really? What's her name?
Kim: Cleo. She hangs out a lot with her friends Emma and Rikki and with her boyfriend Lewis.
Sunset: Emma? Rikki?
Kim: Yep.
Sunset: They were on the same island that I changed...
This is a great story.
Love this story. I so glad it was updated, getting better and better!
Ok I guessing on the next chapter at the end of it we'll see Etheir Twilight or Celestia thoughts and feelings.
6107725
I'm hoping for it to be Twilight.
Good update! Gonna be interesting that Kim knows about Mermaids earlier then usual.
I wonder how SS is going to give surfing lessons without touching the water. Gonna be tricky to pull that off.
Well this isn't good, whelp, good luck Sunset, your gonna need it.
Seriously, you literally need to pay Kim for her to do anything exactly as she say's.
6107597
Soooo close, but Sunset isn't going to be the one to put things together first. 
Thanks, it's really awesome that you are liking the story! 
6107725 Thanks, and you are so close! Just remove the either.
6107820
Hopefully you like what I have planned then. 
6107868 Thanks!
And it will be okay, Sunset won't have to worry about getting wet as she will already be wet. She just needs to stay around and make sure Kim stays safe. 
6110248 Poor Sunset, thankfully Kim won't be as bad as she is in H2O though so that will be in Sunset's favor!
6111543 Oh, I'm sure that I will, given that I've loved everything that you've written so far.
I've no shipping preference, go where the muse takes you I say.
I'm coming to really enjoy this relaxed Sunset Shimmer. Being a mermaid, discovering new variations of her old magic, being able to use magic again period, exploring what being able to live in the sea is like, and being in the relaxing setting is healing her spirit pretty well.
Twilight Sparkle gets shafted though, she had no hoof in any of that
I find it difficult to believe that she'd leave the setting so quickly even if she fully forgave all her old fair-weather friends. Heck, even if the event had never happened in the first place and she was on excellent terms with everyone, discovering a form of magic might be a, pun unintended, irresistible siren's call. At least for a little while.
Then again, Sunset Shimmer isn't like the others, she'd probably have valued the friendship above anything else. It's why she didn't return to Equestria after all, even though she had 'made things right' by the time of Rainbow Rocks.
I don't know much about the H2O setting, would she even be able to function well away from the sea? I get the impression she has irrevocably changed.
IF you want, my personal favorite is Twilight and Sunset. I actually know that hsow (because I was bored a couple of years back and the show actually didn't help, yet I still watched it) and I'm not sure if any of them is a good pairing for Sunset.
But then again, who am I to discuss love? Am 21 and still no girlfriend. Plus, I don't remember the show that good, so only take my first line seriously.
Story is surprisingly good. I didn't expect much, but it's surprisingly balanced. Hope to see more interaction between Twilight and the rest soon, but then again, the story focuses around Sunset.
Love this update, I'm surprised on how upset Celestia is, i mean i knew she feel bad, but seriously drinking and throwing a beer bottle even if she wasn't aiming for Twilight, if anyone finds out.
Celestia will lose her job no if or buts.
Hope she calms down if she wants to lose her job fine, but not before trying to fix things with Sunset some form of closure at least.
Understand how Twilight feeling, this does open old wounds, but at least they repaired the damage, Sunset however went thru far worst sadly.
Sunset made some terrible mistakes, and left her old world came to a new world and well you know what she did.
After made to see how she hurt others, she had reach a low point, even when the girls reached out to her, it wasn't easy.
she was hated, and she understood why, she felt this is what she deserved, in the second movie it showed that she felt she couldn't shouldn't try to bond with the group as they fought the Dazzlings till everything went bad to worst for them.
Even after straighten out the band and getting them to unite, and then later joining them, the look she had as she took the mike.
Showed she still wasn't sure she belong till they won and she became a member of the band, and finally felt she belonged.
She redeemed herself in front of the school and most of all redeemed herself in her eyes.
.....Then it all goes to into a fire and gets burned away to ashes!
Everyone hates her again, and worst yet her Friends those she loved and trusted turn their backs on her, after all they went thru they in the end assume she was guilty and left her alone abandoned, and heartbroken, that was bad enough then Principal Celestia expels...not suspend EXPELS Sunset!
Even if the school was about to Riot she could of just suspended her till a investagtion was done at least!
Talked to her let her know so she understand but, no she Expel her from the school choosing the easy way to me to settle things.
In way she BANISHED Sunset from school if not the city as this would ruined her name for good if not for the truth being found out.
So yeah she left the town the city her old life , from the betrayal she felt, and the trust that was broken.
I'm happy dispite everything she gone thru she made some friends or the start of friends, that she helping Friend Ship problems get solved and families as well.
She doesn't know it, but she already on a path to be a Princess as well still, Twilight would be so proud of her.
Oh as for pairings, so hard to choose but I say Twilight would be good. Thou how they meet up if she no longer lives in Canterlot, i wonder....hmmmm.
you know when I read about the comic, this was my first thought
"oh god it's A Canterlot Wedding all over again"
Poor Sunset! Four legs, then two, then two and a fish tail! Great chapter. I always get excited when the characters start putting the pieces together.
If its romantic shipping I'm not the go to griffon, but when it comes to character interactions, I think I can work some good ones.
Sunset and Merriam would clash like oil and water, since Merriam is basically old Sunset, the alpha bitch. Let Merriam remind Sunset about the old her and watch sparks fly!
Other then that, I can't see much in good character interactions between Sunset and the other cast members of H2O, ok, maybe let her mingle with the vandal gang or whatever their called, but that's about it.
You're wrong,you're forgetting one person:Lewis. Now hear me out. In the Rainbow Rocks novelization 'Sunset Shimmers Time to Shine',we find out that Sunset happens to be very good at math and science related stuff . Which makes since anyway, because Equestria magic itself is a very sciencey like discipline,seeing as how Twilight constantly does experiments with it. Not to mention,shes Celestias former student. I reallly doubt that she wouldnt have Sunset studying academically.Maybe she and Lewis could work together on firguring out the girls transformation. With her knowledge in magic and his academic mind,I think they could accomplish a lot. Also,I think that if you try hard enough,you can get good interactions for Sunset with everyone in the H20 cast. I think her interactions with Kim right now are pretty good,sort of like her seeing Sunset as a second big sister,yet with a child like awe,because well,she saved her from getting eaten by a SHARK! Of course she would think of Sunset as a savior.
6172629
Yay, a new chapter!
I have no idea how I didn't see this before now 
I think it's really nice to see the motives behind Kim's actions
And there is supicion, much suspicion..... which in my viewpoint, is awesome 
6170800 I have several ideas, and personally my newest one is the one I'm leaning towards, but want to give everyone a chance to say if it's what they would enjoy reading. BTW, my newest addistion to the list is human Twilight after moving there with her family.
Twily kind of did get shafted over the whole thing, though Sunset probably won't blame her too much over it. Unlike the others. I really do pity them.
The magic will be an irresistible siren's call, no doubt about that, but the fact that she will have a real place to call home will play an even bigger part in her decision on if she should stay or not.
Sunset will, and does value those she loves beyond anything else which is why she was hurt so badly by feeling as if those she loved stabbed her in the back. It will take a lot to get her to forgive them, but I seriously doubt she would ever forget what happened.
There are actually 2 ways that will play out as I have ideas for both. 1 where Sunset is irrevocably changed to the point she is no longer a normal pony and 2 where she may receive a power boost in Equestria if she ever returned or not be able to use her mermaid powers at all there.
No matter what though, Sunset will find happiness there.
6170813 Hmm, human Twilight or pony Twilight. So many decisions!
It's totally awesome that you enjoy the story, and Twily will interact with the girls more especially in a few more chapters when she won't have much of a choice. Hopefully they will be able to work things out between them, because when it comes to Sunset only 1 of them has a chance of actually being on good terms when and if they meet up.
6171246 Thankies! Celestia really does love her students like her own children which is why she hands out so many chances. Sometimes she can mess up though, especially during times of a lot of stress like Christmas. It's too bad that she let the superficial evidence convince her of Sunset's guilt instead of investigating it more, but if she did this story couldn't have happened.
After all, needed a good enough reason for Sunset to give up on Canterlot so she could move on. 
I can't believe how good a reception I got over the similarities that I pointed out between the wedding and Anon~A~Miss shit. I was for sure I'd at least get a few people bitching saying I was cray~cray, but so happy I didn't. So yay!
Sunset did always have insecurities, but she finally came to believe she had those who loved her even if she didn't really have a real home. She will be getting a real home soon enough though! It's the reason it hurt her so much because she finally dropped the last wall around her heart and left herself vulnerable which crushed her when everyone turned against her.
Any yep, the banished thing was me trying to banish Sunset from the school just like she was banished from the castle in Equestria. Tried to make it somewhat similar, only this time instead of the mirror, Sunset ran from the city unsure of where to go or what to do. I'm sure she is doing really well and would be on the path of being a princess and alicornhood, though I'm not so sure yet if that is even a possibility for her anymore. Time will tell though!
I already know how pony Twilight will meet with Sunset again, but I have a new possibility for the pairing. Which is better, human Twilight after her family moves there, or pony Twilight?
6171874
I thought the same too! 
6172497 Thanks, Kim will solve the puzzle very soon. Though it's hard to tell who will discover the other first: Sunset discovering the trio, or the trio discovering Sunset.
6172629 I'm sure those two are going to have some serious problems with each other unless Sunset can convince her to change her ways. OH! Ideaaaaaaaaaaa!~
Thank you!
I actually thought about making the vandal gang her new lackeys, but in a good way. Probably not going to happen though, I must have been sick when I thought about that, damned cough syrup.
6173468 I haven't got a chance to read that yet, but when my fiancé and me get back from our honeymoon around the first, I plan to get it and hopefully a couple other books I've been wanting. Why is it our library never has good ebooks?
I always thought Sunset would be awesome with math and science being Celestia's student which means she had to be extremely gifted. And I'm sure both would be needed for advanced magic and theory meaning Sunset was probably taught a lot of those by Celestia and for the most part, I'd think it would be easy to translate it to Earth styles or Sunset would already be adept at learning it and soak in Earth's versions like a sponge. Now history, no body likes history. It's sooooooooooooooooooooo boring!
Oh wow, that's exactly what I was trying to go for, Kim seeing Sunset as another sister and kind of a substitute for the way Cleo and her used to be. Though things will get better between the two sooner or later.
I have plans for the main trio and Lewis, maybe even a little jealousy on Cleo's part until Sunset assures her she isn't interested in him. Hopefully it will all turn out to be awesome! 
6173663 Thankies! I like to think that Kim is nowhere as bad as she is portrayed, though she probably is for the canon. Still, she won't be for my story lol!
There is a lot of suspcion, and soon things will be learned that can't be unlearned. People they never wanted to know will find out secrets they have been hiding, but nobody bad really! 
Gotta say, I need to watch the regular H2O series, but I do like the Mermaid Adventures animated show. Anyway, glad someone did a crossover with that, keep it up.
Rikki. Rikki. Rikki. Rikki. Rikki. x5000000000

Yes, who would have thought it possible to cross over these two shows in such a sensible way?
So does this and some of your other works with AU sunset shimmer all form part of the same verse? (its hard to tell since none of the ones I've read are currently complete)
Anycase this is a pretty interesting story, I would never have thought this was a workable crossover but it seems to be doing nicely, I look forward to whenever you take it off hiatus.
I take it Luna was on Team Sunset(I like to think that there were some people who did not think Sunset was Anon I noticed a few people were absent from the cafeteria scene in the comic like Vinyl,Octavia,Flash,and Derpy so I am believing that they belived Sunset so I made up a little group called Team Sunset or the people who don't think Sunset is Anon)considering how friendly she was with Luna. In fact it seems to me in a lot of these stories Luna seems to think Sunset is NOT anon well whenever she is in the story that is. In fact in one story which is the now cancelled Apoligies Are Not Enough by SadisticFluttershy Flash believes Sunset and even saves her from getting beaten into a bloody pulp from some vengeful students. Who knows hopefully Hasbro will do a continuation on the holiday special because I am interested to see if Sunset questions her friends if not the entire schools trust and a bunch of drama unfolds.
I really like how this crossover blends and contrasts two different types of fantasy. While Equestria is very much high fantasy,because you couldn't walk one inch without finding something obviously magical. There are wizards,mythological creatures, citizens using magic for everyday life,and spell duels of all kinds. Their magic tends to be flashy.
H20,on the flip side,is an urban fantasy,where while magic DOES exist,but it's a lot more subtle and difficult to find if you're not specifically looking for it. It's more hidden and people don't realize it's there most of the time.
I like urban fantasy,it's one of my favorite genres of literature,which is why the Mercy Thompson series is one of my all time favorites.
I wouldn't like it if it turns out the moon pool was caused by Equestrian shenanigans because I feel it takes away from Earth having it's own type of magic that's different,yet the same.
Did Sunset move to Australia or have you transplanted the city and Mako island to America for the purpose of the story?
Please more!!!
I would have twilight punch one of the girls or dragon back to equestria to get buck back through the portal.
Nice intro, interesting idea.
Very nice work, hope you get back to it eventually.
That two events in each world where characters had a hard time trusting each other.
Equestria world:
Lesson zero.
The main cast thought twilight was being foalish for worrying over a friendship report
After they promised to always considered her thoughts the canterlot wedding happen.
Equestria girls:
The girls didn't even give each other the benefit of doubt when sunset spilt them up.
And with Anon-a-miss the girls didn't take their lesson well.
