Only 1,026 words today, but that's okay because I finally got to write a certain pony's introduction! Well, most of it anyway. The scene has only just begun!
Cumulative word count for the month is now 22,615!
The way it sounds, it looks like you're introducing someone important... Sunset's parents!?

Parents? I'll go ahead and say no to that right now. But it is still a fairly important pony to the story.

Will we see her parents? It would be interesting and funny to see how Sunset would have to explain later on to her folks that she's dating her friend who later becomes a princess.

Ah... the jury is still out on that. I'm typically in the 'Sunset is an orphan with Celestia as her main mother figure' camp, and tbh hadn't really even considered the possibility of having her parents show up at some point before you mentioned it. But I'll put it in the 'maybe' pile for now.
Looking forward to finding out who this new figure is and what role they'll play. And the word count seems to be going well; you may be able to earn another day off soon.
