Believe it or not, the Friendship Games wasn't an easy film to make. Various scenes had to be redone because of random shenanigans, misspoken lines, or general silliness.

Here's an exclusive behind the scenes look of what never made it into the movie...

This story was based off of the Friendship Games Blooper Reel that recently released.

This story is a sequel to Shadowbolts Adventures: Ask Sugarcoat

Discord just wants a vacation from his friends in Equestria, and decides to take a sabbatical in the alternate universe Princess Twilight told him about. But things begin to go awry in both universes as Chaos erupts in one and World Peace erupts in the other. Can the girls convince him to go home before the human world falls apart? And will Princess Twilight allow him to come home and lose the serenity that has overcome Equestria?

Rated T for adult language

One again thank you to Bootsy Slickmane for pre-reading and cover art.

Quiet mornings before school starts can be lonely, but peaceful. For some people, they're a good time to just breathe and prepare themselves for the day ahead. Fluttershy and Adagio Dazzle find themselves doing this in the same place at the same time, in their own ways.

Based on a picture that was a little too big to be the cover art, but cute enough to inspire some shipping anyway.

Were.

Little does she know that she will soon come face to face with what appears to be a literal ghost from her past.
