This takes place after "Mirror Magic".

Starlight Glimmer has immensely enjoyed her time with Sunset Shimmer and the Canterlot High group. However, as she has a last conversation with Sunset, an important question comes to her mind to ask Twilight. The answer may not be quite what she expected.

Set after Season 6 Episode 21- Every Little Thing She Does.

For ruining Pinkie Pie's beloved bakes after flooding the Castle of Friendship, Starlight Glimmer must face a punishment that Pinkie set for her to complete. She's due for a talking with the pink pony at Sugarcube Corner where she will be tested on her skills as an amateur baker, and maybe learn something new at the same time.

Sunset and Trixie fail to stop Wallflower's plan, and now everyone at Canterlot High only remembers Sunset as a bully. Sunset has to go through High School proving once again that she isn't the girl she used to be. Unfortunately, she lost her old friends, but luckily she won't be alone. She had gained a new one, The Great and Powerful Trixie, supporting and being there for her all the way.

Sunset will learn how tough Trixie's life is, and it will make Sunset see her magician friend in a completely new light.

This story is a sequel to Acting Like You're Happy

Sunset is happy. She's found a loving girlfriend who understands her issues, and together they've found their own ways to happy. Now, Sunset is looking at a new way to make her girlfriend happy: taking her to see her home world of Equestria. It should be a fun adventure, a sightseeing tour at the worst, yet Sunset is worried as she usually is. She wants this day to be special, but she knows it would be all too easy for things to get out of hoof. But as long as they're together, things should work out okay.

An entry for Oroboro's Sunset Shipping Contest 2: Electric Boogaloo. And one that actually follows the prompt this time, yay! Although it seems my skill with deadlines has not improved in the past year... Oh well, happy thoughts! I am actually in the running for a win this time! Not that I expect to win, but it's nice to know I haven't disqualified myself for silly reasons. Either way, enjoy this sequel fluff! I know I did (when I finally sat down and wrote it, blargh).

Twilight Sparkle was banished from Equestria a long time ago for a crime she didn't commit. The rest of the Mane 6 have been searching for her to tell her that she can return. When they do find Twilight, they realize that the trials of surviving outside Equestria have changed their old friend. Not all the changes are necessarily good.

As they return to Equestria, they must figure out who is opposing them. Shadows lurk in every corner, enemies watching for a single misstep. Not to mention, Twilight's shadows are creeping up on her. But even if they do manage to face the trials and troubles, do they have what it takes to face what awaits them back home?

Starlight has been always thankful to Twilight for helping her out of her dark path she went down. But she felt like she needed to repay her so she decides to take her out to a friendly dinner. But what she doesn't take into her plan is that Twilight secretly loves her. And when they go on out to dinner Starlight begins to feel the same.

This is my second romance story with a different ship. Don't expect a sequel to this though. (Mainly because the one i did for my first romance story wasn't well received.)
