This is a complete overhaul of my previous attempt at this universe.

The Alicorn Sisters have ruled over their nations for centuries. The Kingdom of the Sun and the Kingdom of the Moon have been gifted peace ever since the defeat of Discord.

But trouble is brewing on the horizon. They know that peace cannot last forever. It was time to bring the Elements of Harmony to their full potential.

After so many years, Starlight Glimmer gets to meet her best friend who's been gone for so long... Sunburst... The two share a moment between each other.

There are several characteristics that most heroes have. They come from underdog positions. They fight not for themselves, but for others. They believe in unity and fairness.

There are several characteristics that most villains have. They have all the cards. They destroy what others have built. They take pride in vanquishing their enemies.

Starlight Glimmer was supposed to be the hero. Twilight Sparkle was supposed to be the villain.

And yet, sitting in the Princess' guest room, Starlight wonders if she was wrong.

This story is a sequel to In Their Town

Starlight Glimmer has been taken under the wing of Princess Twilight Sparkle.

Now, with parchment in front of her, she tries to empty the broken heart she has carried for two decades, and writes to the only friend she had growing up.

(Written on a whim in the waning hours of Finale Fever.)

With the war of Nightmare Moon drawing to a close, Princess Celestia sends one of her most prized disciples, Researcher Twilight Sparkle, to solve the mystery of a powerful magical weapon with the capability to rid unicorns of their magic. But how will Researcher Twilight react to find that this weapon may not be a weapon at all, but a living breathing farm filly in the north, only wishing to be left alone?

Sunset Shimmer didn't think twice about the assignment from her literature teacher, Mr. Turner, to read and analyze 'Harrison Bergeron' - at least, until she actually read the story and found herself fascinated with the ideas it presents. Unable to settle her thoughts, she goes to class the next day brimming with questions, only to find that Mr. Turner has the day off, and their substitute is an unusual teacher named Starlight Glimmer.

I highly suggest that anyone who has not had a chance to read
Harrison Bergeron give it a read.

Note: This story presents some of my opinions. If you disagree with something I have said, feel free to comment as I am always willing to participate in an open discussion.

I also would like to thank my wonderful Proof-Reader Song Coyote.

Trixie, Starlight, and Sunset argue over who's the better peanut butter to Twilight's jelly. Er, or something like that.

Starlight Glimmer has finally done it. She has stolen the cutie mark of everypony in Equestria and shown them the path to equality. From her new home in Princess Twilight's castle, Starlight rules Equestria, pushing everypony towards happiness and equality.

But one day Starlight Glimmer encounters a mysterious filly. A filly who is immune to Starlight's cutie mark-stealing magic. A filly with no name, no family, and no past. A filly who refuses to wipe that creepy smile off her face. As the filly begins to make friends with everyone in Ponyville, Starlight searches for a way to beat her. And what does the filly want from Starlight?

She just wants to break her.

Starlight Glimmer and Twilight Sparkle save the future of Equestria together.

(My own musing on how the season 5 finale ending could have played out)
