this is good, keep it up!

All in due time.

This looks interesting! I'll be back in the morning to read this.

I have to say, this DOES look like a pretty entertaining contrast to the canon first couple of episodes. REALLY enjoyed the interactions between Twilight and Moondancer as well the first meetings with Sweetie Belle (and, yeah, doesn't surprise me that Cinch is that strict) and Sunburst. Interesting to see a universe where Twilight is the more laid-back out of her and Spike. And, yeah, Shining being a jokester off the job is an entertaining thought, as was Spike managing to get one on him. And that's a good alteration to Daybreaker's scheme to have the eternal day be a form of extortion.

I'm going to guess that Twilight is still going to be Magic, Moondancer is probably going to be Honesty, Sunburst is most likely Kindness and Shining Armor is almost certainly Laughter.

All in all, an enjoyable first (couple of) chapter(s) with some great exchanges and future chapter set-up.

Many thanks. I don't think you'll be disappointed with the next chapters.

REALLY good job on this latest chapter. It might have taken a while, but was certainly worth the wait. Loved the work that went into the exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up in all the right places. Loved how Luna had sent those "dream messages" to not only Twilight, but also Moonie, Shining, Sunburst, Spike and Sweetie Belle, plus how Twilight pieced together the meaning of those dream messages. And, yeah, we met two of this universe's versions of the canon Mane Six (Applejack and Rarity) as well as this universe's versions of AJ's family. I also enjoyed how, instead of Twilight, it was Moondancer who was surprised by the book on the Elements being placed under "'E'". And, now, this universe's future main six has officially begun their adventure.

I am greatly looking forward to seeing this universe's spins on the "Element trials".

I promise to give it 150%. Thank you so much for reading.

Wonderful work on the last chapter of this first arc. Yeah, I can understand the need to go on hiatus for a while. After all, between real world schedules and thinking time, I certainly can respect the need for patience. At any rate, wonderful work on the exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up in all the right places. Excellent work on the alterations to the "Element trials" (especially with Spike showing his stuff in helping out his friends before they found out Rainbow and her crew were under mind control, the cameo by Arizona and her dad during Sunburst's trial and Moondancer pushing Twilight with the right mix of brutal honesty and acknowledgement that she DOES have the heart and courage to do more).

So it's

Twilight: Magic

Spike: Loyalty

Shining: Laughter

Moondancer: Honesty

Sweetie: Kindness

Sunburst: Generosity.

VERY definitely makes sense.

Anyway, thanks for the story thus far and I am wishing you luck in finding the inspiration and time to do more eventually, even if I am quite willing to be patient.

I'm so grateful for your words. We're on the cusp of Christmas season with my job, so it may be a while, but I hope to be back soon with both new adventures and reworked episodes. I'm so happy that you've enjoyed the story this far and I hope you're pleased with future instalments.

Thank you so very much, friend.

Ey, keep it "PG", Knight in Shining Armor.

The Grand Eclipse is a fabulous name for a Summer Sun Celebration equivalent.
