Sunset Shimmer, after gathering up her courage, decides to try and hit on the human world's Twilight. Little did she know that this simple action would spur the two of them into a fiery debate over a timeless question, one that humans and ponies alike have pondered for ages:

Which is better, pi or tau?

Sunset Shimmer has been distant lately, spending time with Starlight Glimmer. Twilight doesn't know how to feel, except jealous. When she gets a call from Sunset asking her to come over, she doesn't know how to feel, except hopeful.

What she discovers is something altogether unexpected.

There's few better ways for Twilight Sparkle to spend a lazy weekend afternoon than propped up against the pillows on her bed, with her girlfriend resting on her body and reading her a story. Sure, she may have left her glasses out of reach, but that hardly matters when all her sensations are focused on Sunset's voice and body anyway.

Of course, Sunset might have an easier time reading if her partner would stop giving her little teases. But where's the fun in that?

Everybody agrees that Sunset Shimmer is the best Smirker in Canterlot High. Well, almost everybody. There are some people who think they smirk better, and are willing to challenge her during the Smirking Contest. They are definitely not prepared to handle Sunset and her smirk.

*Contains*: A lot of smirks

Sunset Shimmer had an urge to see Twilight Sparkle of Ponyville again after so long with her friends in the other world. One day, she mustered up the courage to step through the portal and say hello.

Much to her surprise, however, Twilight Sparkle was far... smaller than she expected.

I’ve grown up a lot lately. Some of it was forced on me, some by my reaching for it.

But seeing her wearing the battered leather, it made me remember just how far we’ve come.

Together.

Continuity: Homecoming.

With the memory stone crisis behind her, it's time for Sunset to deal with an even bigger challenge:
