As an experienced reformed heroine who had dealt with unpredictable Equestrian magic in the human world, Sunset Shimmer has seen some pretty weird things.

Knowing that every human inexplicably has an Equestrian pony counterpart? Sunset yawns at this news. Being trapped in a collapsing mirror world? Not weird, but maybe a little scary. Having to play peacemaker when two Twilight Sparkles argued over who had the better boyfriend? That may have been unexpected, but not odd.

But the fact that Princess Twilight's boyfriend was a book and the teenage Twilight's boyfriend was a smartphone? Now that bit of weirdness wasn't so easy to shake off...

Fluttershy is startled to learn of her sister's impending visit. The two don't share the greatest history, leaving Fluttershy uneasy about their impending reunion. However, the visit is less about a heart-to-heart reconciliation and more about Gust's urgent request for help in her workplace. Together, they must unravel the mystery of a corporate traitor who is leaking sensitive company information, all while Fluttershy explores the truth of their troubled past.

Rarity has a secret but is unsure if she should come out or not. She is a changeling. She had hoped to tell her friends after Cadence's wedding, but due to Chrysalis crashing the party she now fears what her friends will think of her once they know the truth.

Gabby, knowing about the holidays, wants to share it with the rest of Griffonstone.

Written for Hammerhead for Jinglemas 2022

Yes I know. It’s very late. I stopped and never went back to it so I thought I’d publish it so Hammerhead gets to at least see some of what they asked for. I guess It wouldn’t be fair to not publish what I’ve written of it.

I’m sorry for not creating this on time. But I hope you enjoy.
