Sunset Shimmer has made many mistakes. She's been rude to others. She's been completely oblivious to the power that friendship has. And she's turned into a massive, flaming demon of rage and attempted to enslave a small group of teenage students.

Sunset's had plenty of time to learn from her mistakes in the human world, but home is where the heart is, and Sunset Shimmer is ready to see it again.

Now with a Sequel!

Rated T for mild profanity.

Twilight Sparkle is the perfect example of an upstanding citizen. She values friendship over anything else. She gives back to her community. She sees the good in every pony, and she would never do anything if it meant hurting others.

Well, she tries. And when she messes up, she goes to those that know the most.

When we become so attached to the masks we wear, who are we when we take them off?

A box appears at Sunset Shimmer's front door. On the outside, it's barely anything; it's just a box with her name on it. On the inside, though, it's more than she can handle. So many things she couldn't care less about—more specifically, the love letter that practically ends with the name "Twilight Sparkle."

Everyone knows Pinkie Pie is the opposite of depressed. After all, she's been trying to make it crystal clear to everyone, especially her friends.

❤️‍🩹 for anyone who needs a pick-me-up story 💗

She's crazy. When talking through text, that's all Sunset can think about. Actually, Sunsets. Make that two of them.

Written experimentally for the A Thousand Words Contest II, which has many amazing entries!

Also the title is supposed to be like International Connection but pun yk??

A thousand years ago in Equestria, Luna's frustration and desperation has been building for years and years as her social and political isolation grows, but just before Luna's jealousy and resentment can turn into murderous hatred against her sister, a new event triggars Luna's mental collapse and pushes her over the edge. When Luna by circumstance finds herself alone in Celestia's room she reads her sister's diary out of curiosity and discovers all of the disparaging criticism that Celestia has leveled at her over the years about how much of a nuisance Luna has been to her, but has been too polite to say directly to Luna's face.

Luna and Celestia had always supported and stuck with each other all their lives. Even when the common-ponies critisism and shunning of her was at its worst, the knowledge that her sister loved her kept Luna going. The realization that nopony, not even her own sister valued her or thought she was fit for the throne completely shattered whatever remained of her fragile psyche.

And so Luna just gave up...

She gave in...

If no one wanted her there...

Then she wouldn't stay there...

She would leave.

Rainbow Dash has been friends with Pinkie Pie for years. Best friends, actually. She knows her very well, and they've been together through a lot of hardships that only made their friendship strong —though kinda rocky in the beginning.

So, if she knows her so well, why suddenly she wonders where Pinkie's talent to make ponies happy comes from?

Dedicated to one of my dearest, most understanding friends, whose mails never fail to make me smile: TheMareWhoSaysNi. Thank you a lot for standing me and my silly rants

Izzy Moonbow feels like nopony is willing to be friends with her in Bridlewood, but she still aims to have one happy conversation with at least one pony.

Everypony is still hyped up on the return of friendship, yet with all the rush towards what's next.

One pony just needs a moment to catch her breath.

The simplistic moments are the most appreciated.
