Just a guy who found out that a show about talking ponies is a lot better than I expected.

"A-are you sure this process is accurate?" she stuttered. "I mean, I'm not exactly princess material. Zipp and Pipp are already princesses, maybe they—"

Yeah. Phoney bologna ones. I don't see them as a good example to use. Even if their family is the only royal one in G5.

Thanks to that title, I now have Tenacious D's Dio stuck in my head.

What? No song???

Masterfully done.

"A pony can become an alicorn when they achieve their ultimate purpose," Twilight continued, "and by uniting the tribes, you achieved yours. Only certain ponies have the potential to become alicorns. Don't get the wrong idea, this wasn't predestined or anything. You earned your horn and wings. That's why the crystals transformed you."

Not to mention that there'd be a ton more Alicorns if that was actually the case.

What an idea. Well done.

11000521
Her purpose needed her to be born an alicorn probably.

We’re all very proud of you, Sunny! :heart:

This is pretty good what I would I think be the beginning of the mlp g5 show even tho I don't like sunny being similar to how twilight was in the beginning with being nervous and anxiety and all that that's just personal this pretty good beginning tho

Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria...

Yessss. Excellent work!

D'awww. This was cute.

11000521
That "can" is doing a lot of work there.

it's a shame the effect IS only temporary

No clue what this was but it's a good story

This story really gives me some 'Avatar state' vibes, with Sunny being able to communicate with the alicorns of the past via that starry plane of existence. I flip'n love it!

"What did you do to become an Alicorn?"

"... Clean up my own mess."

11000305
True, but they're the only examples of royalty she knows. Besides, Zipp is helpful.

11000392
If only.


11000512
Thank you.

11000521
Yeah, I tried to come up with some explanation for that, but I couldn't.

11001573
What, you mean Sunny's alicorn status is temporary? Did they say that somewhere?

11001744
To be fair, it was a pretty big mess. And it was Star Swirl's unfinished mess first.

11000794
imagine her Purpose is Simply exist :rainbowlaugh:

11001752
What was that spell? Turning Twilight and only Twilight into an Alicorn spell? WTF?

This is a great fan fic and honestly a good explanation why the crystals were formed and how equestria lost its magic.

awesome short story.

11000521
Most peak in high school, and poor Flurry peaked in freaking utero. That's gotta sting, heh.

I imagined how this book also opened the same way during the first episode. The bad thing I also remembered was how it closed to an end and it got me where it hurts...

:fluttercry:

A unique way to have Sunny meet up with not only Twilight, but the other princesses and a chaotic being as well! Through and through, this is 120% enjoyable and is a nice thing to remember the past with the present! Great stuff! Hope ya didn't mind, but I just could not resist making a reading of this magical fic of yours!

(I don't mean to offend anyone with this comment in any way!)

Very impressive. I didn't expect the other alicorns or even Discord to show up. :twilightsmile:

11003225
Ouch.

11003763
Yeah, I was actually thinking about that song while I wrote this.

11003884
Wow, thanks! I'm really flattered.

11003984
Yeah. I didn't include their character tags because I wanted it to be a surprise.

That ending line really strikes my heart in a good way~

This is now my headcanon for the link from G4 to G5 :twilightsmile:

11001752
There was some sort of remark from the woman who did the concept art. As in the early draft of that Alcorn version of Sunny was you know concept. I’m more aiming towards it being a power up

This was very touching, and well made. I hope parts of it end up being canon. Great read, thank you for sharing c:

Sunny didn't know how long it had been since she'd been this tired. It wasn't like anypony sensible would blame her, of course. Going on an Equestria-spanning adventure to unit the three tribes of ponies tended to burn a lot of energy. Plus there had been that whole transformation into an alicorn, something she'd certainly never expected, and the immediate cleanup in the aftermath of Sprout's attempt to start a war. In hindsight, maybe Hitch shouldn't have let him and his mother (who willingly took the punishment) off with just a few months of community service. At least nopony would support him if he tried something that stupid again.

Minor correction: unite.

"Oh, incredible isn't the word I would use!" came a haughty male voice. "More like horrifyingly boring! Or borrifying, is that a word?"

This is a great way for this character to introduce themself.

Sunny looked over her head to see along, snaking form flying over her head. The creature above her was easily the strangest she'd ever seen. It had the head of a goat, mismatched horns and wings, a lion's paw, an eagle talon, a bull hoof, a reptilian foot, and a dragon-like red tail.

a long (two words)

11001744
That was the final, or close to final, step. I do think that your point about spirit good requiring more than just worthiness is good.

11019002
Fixed 'em! Thanks for letting me know. I try my hardest, but I'm not that great an editor.

11019014
I'm not either. A second pair of eyes always helps. Actually, what I do with my favorite an stories is print them out then read them aloud. The change of formats helps force the brain to pay attention. See also the related technique known as "rubber ducking" or "water-cooler monkey" (look them up).

Really, just really! Sprout is the one who should of gotten the punishment not his mother, ok sure she pissed me off a few times but I've gotten over most of it.

"We've never seen an earth pony achieve alicorn status before," said Celestia. "Congratulations, Sunny Starscout. You should be proud of what you've achieved."

Yep, but at the same time I wonder if what we saw in the movie is permanent or not.

"The crystals were created by us before we departed for this plane of existence," said Twilight. "They were intended to represent the unity between the three tribes, reminding ponies of how important the magic of friendship was. They were also responsible for keeping the flow of magic going in Equestria. They weren't supposed to ever be separated, but what's done is done. When the tribes split, they lost their magic as well."

Yep, it's a shame it happened sadly. :fluttercry:

"In our Equestria, they would've signified you becoming Equestria's latest princess," said Celestia. "You, Sunny Starscout, are the Princess of Peace."

Ngl, it actually suits her. :ajsmug:

"A-are you sure this process is accurate?" she stuttered. "I mean, I'm not exactly princess material. Zipp and Pipp are already princesses, maybe they—"

Yeah I really don't think those two count as princesses imo.

"They may ask you to become their ruler," said Celestia. "However, you'd be within your rights to refuse. The magic of our Equestria has long faded. New magic has taken its place. You'll have to build Equestria in your own way, not rebuild it in our image. You have to find your own way."

Yep, she's right.

"Oh, incredible isn't the word I would use!" came a haughty male voice. "More like horrifyingly boring! Or borrifying, is that a word?"

Ok, I did not expect to see discord show up at all just about now.

Sunny calmed down a little. Another question suddenly popped into her mind. "Wait. I read in my dad's research that alicorns were immortal. If that's the case, why did you leave everypony? And why didn't you find more ponies who could ascend?"

Yeah, it really is something to look into.

"That's one of the times where the truth got lost in the sands of time," replied Twilight. "Alicorns aren't truly immortal. We just have very long lifespans. Celestia and Luna had even longer ones due to their connections to the sun and moon. Before they passed, they used all their magic to ensure the celestial bodies would move on their own." She looked off into the distance, as if reminiscing over long lost memories. "As for your second question...Equestria was changing. The old ways, the ways of royalty were fading. I thought perhaps Equestria didn't need alicorns anymore. So I helped forge the three crystals to keep magic flowing, and stepped down from the throne. But after I passed, things got worse, and without the magic of friendship between the three tribes, the crystals lost power. We were unable to interfere from this plane of existence."

That's probably the closest guess/theory we got as to what happened following the end of mlp fim.

Another thumping sound drew her attention, and she noticed that a book seemed to have fallen from the bed as well. This was a curiosity, as Sunny didn't remember reading before going to bed last night. Intrigued, she levitated the book up with her new horn, but nearly dropped it upon seeing the cover. The same six-pointed star inside a gold horseshoe.

Wow, she actually got the book, well I'll be.

Really, just really! Sprout is the one who should of gotten the punishment not his mother, ok sure she pissed me off a few times but I've gotten over most of it.

Actually, they both got the punishment, his mom just accepted it willingly. I thought, in the end, she felt kinda guilty for Lady Macbething him. Thanks for the fave.

11024939
H, fair enough and your welcome. :twilightsmile:

I want to start a petition to make this story Canon. It really covers all the holes the movie had in regards with G4.

PERFECT song for Twilight Sparkle and Sunny Starscout:
