Sunset returns to Equestria for the first time in a long time to visit Twilight in her castle. She comes semi-unannounced in order to surprise the Princess of Friendship only to encounter a unicorn she's never met before in her life.

Starlight likes Rarity. A lot. She decides to visit Rarity at her boutique and tell her.

One day, Twilight Sparkle discovers something amazing about her friend Sunset Shimmer.

She's a magical talking pony!

This requires investigation! Science! Possibly a full-body physical!

Or maybe Twilight will just ask her what's up with that.

Rated Teen for frank discussions about... y'know.

Sunset Shimmer has had a few things on her mind for a while, so she sends Princess Twilight Sparkle a message asking her to visit and help Sunset think things through. After finding out her majesty's busy schedule will only allow her to stay just a little after Sunset's shift ends, Sunset asks Twilight to wait for her at her favorite coffee shop: the Sunlight Café.

After Sour Sweet mentions, ''Kissing'', and how many times she has done it, Twilight felt curious on how it feels. To do that, she needs a date, and Lemon Zest will help her out on that.

Now Sunset has to help her new friend practice for kissing, as Twilight gets ready for her date. And even though both girls thought it would be gross and awkward, they soon found out it was a lot more enjoyable than they think.

Takes place shortly after The Cutie Re-Mark.

One night, after the events of time-traveling, Twilight asks a favor of her new friend, Starlight Glimmer, having to do with her number one friend, Spike. Will she be up to it?

Making friends is hard. Especially when you're trying to live up to seemingly unreachable expectations. Starlight knows this firsthoof.

Fortunately for her, Spike has a bit of wisdom to share that might just help.

Spike has always had a bit of a confidence issue when it comes to being in the spotlight. However, that soon changes when a pony who practically lives on the big stage hears him play the piano.
