The holidays are fast approaching for the city of Canterlot. Snow is on the ground, carols fill the air, and the students of Canterlot High await release for winter vacation. However, its never peaceful in Canterlot for long. Right when things are looking calm, secrets start spilling around the school. With more being revealed each day, all eyes turn to Sunset Shimmer, the former bully of CHS. With the school turning against her and no clues to follow, can she possibly figure out the culprit and clear her name?

Of course she can. You know this story. At least, I assume you do. You're probably here because you want to see an alternate take on the event after all. A timeline can be altered drastically with nothing more than a single decision, just one choice, at the right place and time. So the proper question is: Can Sunset make it to her happy ending...and will the choice even be hers to start with?

So I'd like to give two quick shout-outs.
First one goes to Dainn for his wonderful tale, 'Anon-a-Miss'. It was the base inspiration for this little drabble of mine.
Second one to cerealkiller78 for her branching story, 'Silent Night', for more or less creating a sub-genre of a sub-genre and for the Dark tag on this story.

Part of The Destiny of the Ancients

Sunset Shimmer and the rest of the Humane Six are about to start their life on Canterlot University, but Rarity still has a surprise for all of them. Seems that one song that Sunset recorded in a game of truth and dare had found its way to the internet and has become a huge success.

With this news and deciding to maintain Sunset's anonymity in the human world, Rarity put 'Jem' as the official singer and the world unanimously want more of Jem, there is just one problem, she doesn't exist... or does she?

Originally part of The Many Destinies of Sunset Shimmer, here you will find the story of Sunset Shimmer's double life as pop rock sensation and manager of Jem and the Holograms and all the adventures and crazy antics that this decision will bring to her and her friends.

Currently under rewrites. Rewritten chapters edited by thehalfelf.

The Fall Formal sees Sunset Shimmer defeated and dethroned as leader of Canterlot High School. Desperate for redemption, she lacks anyone to turn to for help - except the five girls who's lives she tormented. Does she deserve help? Does she deserve friendship? Rainbow Dash seems to think so.

Meanwhile, Time Turner, a teacher at Canterlot High School, watches Sunset's progress from afar. But he too is desperate for redemption - but for what? Who has he hurt, and why? How is his story connected to Sunset's?

Part of The Destiny of the Ancients

We all know how it went; Sunset turned into a demon, the Elements purified her and later on she became the lovable human that we know. Except that this time some outside force changed the outcome, this time Sunset did not survive the purification. Sunset Shimmer was killed and thrown into the dangerous realm of Dark Souls.

Finding herself in the Undead Asylum, Sunset must survive the gruesome tests in her way to either save the world, or doom the Age of Fire into darkness, but is it all so simple and who is this mysterious white robed figure that seems to be so focused on Sunset?

Meanwhile, back on Earth, the girls battle their own guilt and egos while the portal now closes and functions as a Scrying Mirror, being witnesses to the suffering and accomplishments of the redheaded undead. They will find themselves awed of what this lone figure can do by herself.

But who is moving all these strings? What is the purpose? Does it have bigger ramifications? Keep on reading to find out what will happen in Sunset's road to become the Princess of Lordran.

Also, if anyone could find or make a better cover for this tory I'll be forever grateful.

Trixie Lulamoon... Sunset Shimmer... Lightning Dust and Princess Luna. Four Ponies that have walked very different paths yet all four of them have done terrible things that they're not Proud of; but things take a turn when a certain washed up show mare returns to Ponyville with one goal. Destroy the alicorn amulet so she can move on with her life and say that she's actually done something good with it.

As we all know, however, life likes to kick you in the teeth and throw you a curve ball you don't see coming. The curve ball in question? Take her quest born of desperation and have it lead her and her three new comrades to the wondrous and and wondrously dangerous world of Earthland.

They will learn, with a little help from Sunset, to deal with their strange new bodies and even their magic working differently as they are welcomed into Fairy Tail. Can these four ponies turned human wizards track down the dark amulet and put an end to the evil spirit that somehow lives within it? With the magic of friendship, and the firepower of Fairy Tail... even the impossible is possible.
