This story is a sequel to The First Step

It has been a few weeks since the fall formal. The school has been repaired, Sunset has been, begrudgingly at least, accepted back into the student body, and she even has a few friends.

They all have so much energy to them. They laugh, they tease, the fight and make up. Sunset can't do that. Not yet. It takes too much energy, energy she doesn't have. Being around them is great. They've been so kind to her. They stand by her. Sunset only wishes she had the energy to do the same for them.

It's Hearts and Hooves day, and Twilight has a date with the most awesome girlfriend ever.

Shameless TwiDash fluff.

All it took was one car wreck to end a life. It ended a life that Rainbow will never be able to forget. That day in the hospital breaks her heart to think about. She doesn't think she'll ever be able to move on, and it certainly takes a lot of help from her partner and friends to finally get her to move on from the heart ache.

Rainbow Dash sneaks into the Golden Oak library. At night.

Takes place before season 4.

December twenty-third: perfect timing. Sunset can deliver gifts to her friends then get out of their way as they celebrate with their families. No car and no home, but Applejack is nice enough to help out for just a few hours before moving on.

Applejack has something else in mind.

Sunset dropped her contact lens and needs everyone to stay still until she can find it.

Sunset is quite unsure herself but with her friends alongside her, she's sure she will prevail.

Wow, I got featured again! Featured 6/27/2021

My story has now been judged for the contest and ranked so I’ve turned off comments now. I’m not interested in having to listen to more drama. This story will be continued with better explanation to it then this one-shot because I see it’s problems and I think it deserves better but that’s about it. Please respect my decision.

**Friendship Games Spoilers**

Just days after the Friendship Games, Sunset Shimmer finds their world's Twilight Sparkle staring at what's left of the Wondercolt statue. The two then have a conversation about what it means to have been a monster, what it will take to move on from it, and what it all means for who they are.

While relaxing after a performance, the Rainbooms discover Sunset has scars that she definitely didn't have before the Fall Formal.
