For a year now Twilight has watched as her good friends Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer enjoyed a loving, tender romantic relationship. But when Starlight comes home one day cursing her girlfriend and declaring their relationship has ended, Twilight must rise to the occasion and try to help these two move past their disagreements and mend fences before their love is lost to the ages.

But perhaps some wounds are too great to be healed with kind works and civil discussions.

Yea, the two of them were so delightfully immature and quite amusing. Though, TBH, I was almost expecting SciTwi, not Trixie, at Sunset's place, but that's just my own shipping goggles in play. Kudos.

I think that was to add to the humor.

Why settle for the rest when you can have the best? :trixieshiftleft:

Fair enough. You make an excellent point, and I can find no faults in your argument.

No offence to Sunset, but video games are the absolute stupidest reason to break up with someone.

You get absolutely nothing for beating them anyway, no matter difficultt. Trophies and achievements are complete rubbish. You are just wasting your life.

Kites on the other hand. You are out enjoying the weather. Enjoying life.

"Caring about that thing? That's stupid. That hobby doesn't matter at all, and it's a waste to get invested in it. But this thing? This hobby is far better and more valuable. Nevermind that both of these things are harmless activities that are meant to bring joy, you have to do it the right way or you're a loser."

That's you. That's what you sound like, fellow stranger taking the time to get invested in and read fanfiction for a children's show.

At least they both agreed to be immature about it. No harm done when everyone's on the same page.

Dislikes are from gamers who can't handle the truth. :rainbowdetermined2:

...if Sunset and Starlight only knew...

Delightfully entertaining at the ridiculousness of Sunset's and Starlight's immaturity with Twilight standing as the middle mare

I feel really bad for Sunset and Starlight, because we both know Trixies will leave them for each other soon enough.

So, I take it the working title for this short was "There's Something About Trixie"?

Now there’s a sequel idea if there ever was one.

And then, after the next round of breakups, Trixie ends up dating Trixie. Somehow.

Brilliant silliness. Glad I finally read it. And stop trying to do your sister-in-law's job, Twilight, it never ends well.

Nice take on how good relationships can end because of one stupid thing, and funny too. I'm surprised that Twilight didn't suggest for them to help each other with their own thing. Sunset could help rebuild Starlight's kite and Starlight could help Sunset through getting 100% on her game, but this is about ending a relationship so I suppose they couldn't work it out.

So is there a sequel where we find out all of this was the expert machinations of a great and powerful pair?

“She shouldn’t be!” Starlight thrust her hooves towards her. “Come on, Twilight, look at her! That butt is amazing no matter what species she is! You could bounce a coin off those cheeks!”

:twilightsmile: "She has a point Sunset."

"..."

:twilightblush: "Oops. Did I say that outloud?"

Putting my eternal love for Starlight as a character aside for a moment, they are both wrong, Sunset got mad over a game and Starlight got mad over a kite. She can get another one, easy fix. Sunset on the other hand while she did overreact I do understand her anger. Still breaking up with someone over a kite and video game is kinda dumb.

Dude gaming is as harmless as kite flying, they are both good hobbies.

My head Cannon is that that they got back together after a month and it added Trixie in the relationship making it a harem

I agree with sunny always save a new game in a new file
