After proving herself as the best Pretty Decent Assistant Detective Helper Person that the Great and Powerful Trixie could ever hope to ask for, she and Sunset Shimmer have been spending a lot of time together. The budding friendship brought on by the Memory Stone incident has well and truly blossomed beyond what either had dreamed it would, and now the next step feels obvious.

Said next step is, of course, such a Great and Powerful friendship turning into a Great and Powerful girlfriendship, and to Trixie's glee, Sunset has said yes to a first date.

As they chat together over coffee, however, Trixie finds herself confronted with something about Sunset that she'd never really given much thought before, despite everyone having known it for a while: the fact that one half of this new couple is a human stage magician, and the other is a transformed unicorn from a parallel world.

Two weeks after the Friendship Games, as Twilight Sparkle begins to blossom in the new environment of Canterlot High School, her brother invites her to an old favorite of theirs growing up — Sweet Snacks Café.

But mixed in with the taste of milkshakes is the need for closure and understanding, as the happy changes in Twilight's life belie the sour path it took to get to them — and the responsibility Shining Armor feels in laying that path.

As certain ponies from another world can attest, there’s nothing quite like facing down a dark-winged madwoman’s fell magics to bring a group together. Of course, it wasn’t quite so cut and dry for the Crystal Prep Friendship Games team, not least because their Twilight Sparkle both was said madwoman and left them for greener pastures.

None of them can honestly blame her. Even putting aside all of Twilight’s bad memories at Crystal Prep and the better ones she made during the Games, there’s one argument that might sway even the most die-hard Shadowbolt: Canterlot High has more hotties in its student body than any of them can shake a stick at.

Especially the one who just walked into the diner where they’re having lunch.
