When Princess Celestia sends her prized pupil, Sunset Shimmer to Ponyville to help organize the Summer Sun Celebration instead of reading about the return of Nightmare Moon, Sunset is tasked with making sure the preparations go well and more importantly, make a friend.

Sunset doesn't really care about friends though, finding herself dealing with an overly enthusiastic Royal Guard Cadet, a horse shoemaker pony, a mailmare, a magician and a flower pony.

May Celestia have mercy on her soul.

This story is a sequel to Breakfast with Rose

Spurred on by a class presentation and an unexpected—but not entirely unwelcome—new day job, I began to more seriously consider how I might fit myself into pony society.

Manual labor provides plenty of time to think, and strips away facades.

I wasn’t sure that I was ready for that, but I couldn’t put it off forever, either.

After the events of the Summer Sun Celebration, Sunset is adjusting fairly well to Ponyville life. Somethings are way more difficult to get used to than she originally thought but has her friends. When Sunset is given six tickets to the grand galloping gala, she is less than enthused but her friends don't understand why she hates the gala but will quickly find out why.

I love waking up every morning to the sound of dishes being done. Especially when they are being cleaned with a DUBSTEP DISHWASHER!

Ever since I got trapped in Equestria, Vinyl Scratch has been my best friend and Marefriend. The fact that she is a friggin DJ makes her all the more cooler!!!

Princess Mi Amore Cadenza. 1'000 years ago, she used the elements of harmony to banish both of her aunts to their respective celestial bodies, in the battle to determine who'd rule Equestria, by accident.

Her guilt weighing heavily on her mind each moment she took up the mantle as the new ruler, was another moment that reminded her, of how she got the crown in the first place. Despite the negative thinking and worries she felt, Princess Cadenza's rule is well received and prosperous with the assistance of a few trusted ponies through the years of her reign.

Now, a thousand years later, the day to celebrate her victory over both siblings and her coronation as Equestria's ruler coming up.

So, she has sent a mare that she foal-sit for to ponyville. Moondancer is tasked to look over the celebration and add any finishing touches to the celebration if necessary.

Cadenza hopes that the mare will make a few real friends in the process. But, with the threat of losing what social standing she has, and the imminent return of the Celestial sisters, can Moondancer, learn the value of true friendship or will Equestria be led under a new rule?

The first story of the Cadenzaverse!

"Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, there were two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony for all the land. To do this, the eldest sister used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn. The younger brought out the moon to begin the night. Thus, the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and their subjects: all the different types of ponies.

"But as time went on, the two sisters grew greedy and covetous of their neighbors to the north. The Crystal Empire stood ready to defend themselves, but even their prince, noble and kind, could not contend with their power. On the fateful day they turned on their once friend, they became the ultimate perversions of their former selves. The elder sister became Solaria Dawn, herald of light and hate, and the younger became Night Mare Moon, harbinger of darkness and fear.

"Reluctantly, the noble prince delved into the darkness and found the forbidden powers needed to save his empire from certain doom. With the might of the shadows, combined with the mystical strength of the crystal heart and the elements of harmony, he was able to defeat his former friends and bring peace to all of Equestria, bearing the responsibility of both sun and moon. Harmony and peace once again fell upon the lands.

"One thousand years has passed since that time..."
