To try and alleviate these concerns, Princess Celestia decides that she needs to take on a student, somepony to wield the Elements of Harmony and ensure her sister's freedom from the forces of evil. There's just one problem, not many ponies are able to mentored directly by a princess.

But one night, Celestia has a chance encounter with a little filly that will change her life forever. A filly with a destiny that nopony can see, and the potential for something greater than what she currently is. Even if what that is is unknown.

After a slumber party with just Twilight and me, I'm awoken in the middle of the night by an emergency alert on my phone. It's not that odd, but...

Something just doesn't feel right.

Rainbow discovers Scootaloo sleeping in the streets and takes her into her home. No pony could have predicted how deep their relationship would grow.

Ever since she learned about Rainbow Dash's parents (and helped them reconnect with their daughter), Scootaloo has been spending a lot of time hanging out with Bow Hothoof and Windy Whistles, the two of them having become something of a second family to her.

However, Scootaloo already has a family, including a mother who is quite insistent Scootaloo be home by sun down. And when the filly unintentionally breaks this rule, she receives a visit from none other than her mother, Dizzy Twister.

But little does Scootaloo know, that Dizzy Twister and Windy Whistles used to know each other. And the question lingering on the filly's mind is: How is that possible?

Scootaloo is presented with the opportunity to have a sleepover when her mom and dad must be called into work one weekend. The pony her mom has in mind is Windy Whistles, Rainbow Dash's mother.

Scootaloo agrees and Windy Whistles promises to do her best to take care of the young pegasus. But even so, her parenting style isn't what Scootaloo's used to and the filly hasn't slept over at Windy's place before.

Despite this, the two will both try to make it a sleepover to remember. And who knows? By the time it's over, they might draw even closer than they already are.

Strange nightmares are plaguing the ponies of Equestria.

Somepony must help ponies to face their deepest fears, but unless Princess Luna is able to discover who—or what—is responsible, the nightmares may never end.

Scootaloo is ready to prove that she can be as fearless as her big sister, Rainbow Dash, even if it means never having a peaceful night's sleep again.

Principal Celestia always has wings in her dreams.

They got her into trouble, once. She let herself believe that they meant she was an angel. Then she grew up, and learned some hard lessons about what being an angel really required.

Now six magical girls have just fought a demon in front of her school. And her phantom wings are itching.

Her life is turning upside down ... and she hasn't even heard about Equestria yet.

Rated Why Haven't You Read This Yet? by PaulAsaran! "I might have been skeptical going in, but horizon knocked it out of the park."

Rated 5/5 by csquared08! "The opening chapter here was truly something else. ... Then I hit the end of chapter 3. holy crap."

Rated ★★★★ by Louder Yay! "A lesser writer might have made a horrible, cliché-ridden mess of this story, but fortunately horizon is not a lesser writer. For a start, it's by some distance the best portrayal of the human world's Celestia I've read."

Third place in the "Under the Sun" June 2017 Writeoff!  (That first draft has been revised and expanded for FIMFiction.) Praise for the Writeoff version:

"Holy cow ... That's how you write an EqG fanfic! You captured the heart and SOUL of this/your version of Principal Celestia, wrapped it up in bi-universal consistency, and sold me on an idea of redemption I didn't even know I needed." —Xepher

"This is gorgeous. A thorough, exhaustive, incredibly moving portrait of a character who I don't think I've ever seen get quite this much development or attention." —Posh

"This is actually, after all these years, an original take on a story on Luna's banishment. If that's not something to be celebrated I don't know what is." —Quill Scratch, Radio Writeoff

(Story idea inspired and suggested by Chronicler06.)

Sunset Shimmer and her fellow Rainbooms are almost ready to graduate from Canterlot High and move on to the next chapter of their lives. And Sunset's life couldn't be better.

However, just days before graduation, Sunset is called to a meeting where she meets the superintendent of Canterlot High, Neighsay. And the superintendent reveals that he's been keeping tabs on Equestrian Magic.

With graduation lurking over the horizon, Sunset must face the fact that Equestrian magic and her involvement with it can't stay secret for much longer. Now shes faces a dilemma as she must decide not only how to break the news to her friends, but what she'll do when her actions can't stay hidden from the public.

Opting for a scary movie was better than moping the rest of the night away, especially since it gave Scootaloo an excuse to spend some quality time with her new neighbour, Luna.

Cover is a screenshot from an episode. No, the story's setting is not in a public establishment; It just happened the only picture of EQG Scootaloo that I could find where her face is rather surprised/shocked/unhappy.
