The Cutie Mark Crusader's attempt to get Big McIntosh and Miss Cheerilee together with the concoction of a "love potion", however, Diamond Tiara ruins their plans by drinking the "potion" herself!

This is an alternate take on the episode "Hearts and Hooves Day", with just a dash of shipping.

With the Ponyville School Dance coming up, and not having a date, Diamond Tiara sets up interviews to find her special somepony.

Scootaloo wasn't quite sure what she expected when she found a letter from her "secret admirer" asking to meet her after school, but it wasn't an invitation to the school dance. Nor was it spending Hearts and Hooves Day with Silver Spoon.

It's morning in the human world, and Sunset wants to show Twilight something before the sun comes up.

After transferring to Canterlot High, Twilight Sparkle realizes she has a crush on Sunset Shimmer. Being the analytical type, she develops a plan to capture Sunset's heart...using the scientific method.

Sunset Shimmer has fallen in love. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, no one really knows. Mainly because she won't tell anyone who it is. She's too busy struggling with the disbelief that she's actually fallen in love with this world's--

Well, you'll just have to read it to find out!

I trusted them with everything and that just threw it away like it was nothing. They said they were my friends but they have made me the laughing stock of the school.

I can't take it anymore

Sunset Shimmer feels mistreated at Canterlot High and wants to go back to Equestria. She asks Twilight to convince the Princess to let her return. Adventure ensues and possibly a romance between the Princess's student and ex-student.

When Sunset saw Sonata Dusk return to CHS and experience a very familiar treatment, she encouraged her friends to reach out to the Dazzlings just as they'd done with her after the Fall Formal.

Several months later, Aria and Sonata have come to discover some joy in their new life-after-magic. Adagio, however, has continued to refuse the offer—out of bitterness, spite and an unwillingness to give those 'rainbooms' the satisfaction of seeing her break.

What she has yet to realize is that clinging to this resentment is hurting no one but herself.

Similar to the tantabus that had haunted Princess Luna for so long, Sunset too has something she had created to punish herself for her wrong doings. But it has finally pushed her over the edge, and she's not sure if friendship can help her this time.
