Anon-a-Miss has turned all of Sunset's friends against her, and Sunset is at the lowest point in her life. On the night she decides to end it all, she gets an unlikely visitor; an angel, or an angel-in-training, named Clark. Pretty soon, Sunset is whisked away on a trip to see just how much her death would impact those around her, and show her that her friendship with the Rainbooms, no matter how hard, is worth fighting for.

Loosely based on It's A Wonderful Life

Season 2 Cast List.

This story is a sequel to The Trial Continues

Sunset has been through so much with The Fall Formal, The Battle of the Bands, and Anon-A-Miss. Now this story will take Sunset through more adventures. She will find love, as well as make new friendships.

Unable to convince anyone she isn't Anon-a-Miss, Sunset ends up leaving Canterlot behind, and thanks to a mysterious benefactor, she moves halfway across the world to begin a new life in Domino City, Japan. She has no interest in making friends, but fate has a funny way of intervening

She will meet a young boy named Yugi Muto who is obsessed with playing games. Especially a popular card game called Duel Monsters. Little does Sunset know that this fateful meeting will be the start of her new life. Even with a new life, those she left behind won't give up that easily on her.

Through a mysterious incident, Sci-Twi and Sunset Shimmer are transported to the world of Pokémon. Unfortunately, while Sci-Twi arrives as a human, Sunset is transformed into a Pokémon.

Working together as a Trainer and her Pokémon, the two must journey through the realm of Kanto in an attempt to find their way home and, in the process, learn as much as they can about this strange new world.

Things have been going well for Sunset Shimmer since the Friendship Games. She's on good terms with the students at Canterlot High School, she has a close circle of friends she can depend on, and most of all, she now has a new friend and research partner in the form of the human world's Twilight Sparkle. With a brand new avenue in magical research now open to her, not even the prospect of her upcoming birthday can get in the way of her hope for the future.

Then her latest experiment blew up in her face.

Reduced to a mare in a child's body, Sunset has to find a way to reverse what she's done and return to what qualifies as normal in this world. But in a world where magic was a fairy tale until a few months ago, things are going to be more than a little difficult on that front. And as she struggles to maintain her adult mind against the immaturity of her current form, her friends are faced with the possibility that they may lose their friend forever.

"Gunpla is FREEDOM!"
- Meijin Kawaguchi III

Gunpla: Noun, a portmanteau of "Gundam plastic model", miniature models of massive Mobile Suits from the franchise Mobile Suit Gundam. For some Gunpla is a hobby, for others, it's practically a way of life and there is no better way to show this than by the sport of Gunpla Battle, customizing and controlling animated Gunpla and pitting them against one another in no hold barred matches.

To Sunset and her friends, however, Gunpla is a foreign world they are only just learning about and their journey into this world will be met with surprise, laughter, hardship and, most importantly of all, friendship.

[Battle Start!]

During a routine visit to Equestria to see Princess Twilight, Sunset decides to bring her pet Ray along with her. Only... she wasn't quite expecting what he would turn into on the other side of the portal...

It should have been a normal test. The worst case-scenario should have been nothing happening at all. But when Twilight's newest invention is activated, Sunset and Twilight find that the world is a whole lot bigger than it was a few moments ago. They can't even get help, because whenever someone looks at them, their bodies burn, like a vampire in the sun.

It's hard to be two inches tall. And it's lonely. When the very gaze of your best friends causes your skin to burn, you have to hold close to what you have left. Together, Sunset and Twilight will work together to survive in a massive, familiar yet utterly alien world as they search for answers, look for ways to contact their friends, and try to reverse the process, once and for all.

Updates every Friday, stay tuned!
