Twilight Sparkle was born on the moon, 999 years before the 1000th summer sun celebration. Her mother, Princess Luna, trains her and teaches her to be the perfect ruler. Her plan is to stop this Nightmare and be happy.

Of course, Twilight gets released early, and has to face this whole new world without her mother. At least it will be a while before Celestia finds her and finds out her motives, or will it?

Twilight will have to deal with things she definitely wasn't trained for, including a possible love interest?

Sunset Shimmer takes the mantle of her old master Sir Sunburst Starwatcher in a fit of desperation. Now, having had a taste of the glory and victory that has so long been out of reach, she throws herself into a delicate balance between fighting her way to riches and the noose that awaits if she is discovered.

And the lie she and her friends are trying to keep is getting harder and harder to maintain. Oh, and of course, there's the maiden fair who seems determined to get the truth of the matter.
*Based loosely on A Knight's Tale, you do not need to have seen the movie. This will have substantial differences.

Drama! Romance! Pony Science! All this and more on tonight's episode!

Ponyville is a special town. Its ambulance requires special equipment.

Authors' notes.

Audio reading (quite excellent).

A past Sunset doesn't remember comes searching for her, a past that may or may not be hers. With feelings that something bigger is going on, can she sort things out or will she drown in her problems with this piled on top of them.

Warnings: Very small bit of Anon-A-Miss as I needed Sunset to be a little isolated though it will be resolved in the first chapter though the aftermath may spill over for a chapter or two. Anon-A-Miss won't be the focus of the story, the focus will be her possible past coming to find her. The violence tag isn't there because of Anon-A-Miss, but there will be fights.

I wanted to just enjoy going to Supanova with some friends. As embrassing as losing a bet, my punishment being going dressed as Raven from Teen Titans is, I'm not going to let it spoil my fun.

However, waking up in the world of My Little Pony as Raven herself might spoil that fun. I mean, being an empath in MLP... after the Changeling Invasion at the wedding?

Yeah. I don't see any problems for me from that. Not to mention keeping my new powers under control when they're tied to my emotions and I haven't had all the years of training Raven did.

And let's not forget that my new powers are shadow magic, so basically Dark Magic. I don't see that causing me any problems socially, either. Nope. None at all.

T due to Scenes of Violence, Blood, (hence the Gore tag) sometimes and nudity of a young girl and other things.

Adventure and Slice of Life tags would be here if they didn't go against each other, plus there was no room. Sex tag mostly for when Raven is nude and how she talks about sex and similar things with the ponies at times.

After several jumps go wrong, Anon lands himself, er, herself into another land of colorful equines. This time stuck for an entire year before being able to continue on her quest of returning home.

Question remains, will Anon want to?

This story is a sequel to A Certain Magical Sunset

Sunset Shimmer, personal student of Princess Celestia, had seen her future and was delighted.

Looking into Star Swirl's Mirror, she saw something she had never imagined; Herself, as an Alicorn Princess. Filled with delight, Sunset now knew nothing could keep her from the side of her beloved mentor, helping her and ruling with her. It wasn't just a dream. It was her destiny.

So when her mentor suggested she take time out from her studies to make some friends, you could forgive her for not giving more than a token effort. What could be more important than learning everything she needed to know so she could serve her princess through an alicorn's lifetime as a princess, ruling by her side, lifting the burdens she faced daily?

Celestia, knowing her time was short and there was a high chance she would fall with her sister on her return, was pushing Sunset to hone her diplomatic skills, her magical prowess, and her battle skills, enrolling her as a Battle Mage in her service. She needed somepony who could step in and defend her ponies if the worst were to happen.

Then things changed. Her mentor took on another student, an annoyingly cute little nerdy filly named Twilight Sparkle. And soon after, another princess appeared, newly ascended and needing guidance, Princess Cadance.

Maybe, Sunset decided, she needed some friends after all.

This is the prequel to A Certain Magical Sunset. While this is an AU, events are largely in line with cannon, with exceptions noted as they occur. Sunset still ends up in the unhappy place of rebelling against her mentor, and stealing off through Star Swirl's Portal to the world of Equestria Girls, where the other stories in this timeline take place.

Princess Celestia thought she had found the perfect gift for Twilight Sparkle to celebrate her coronation. Who better than Princess Luna to teach her one of the most mysterious lost arts of Equestria, Dream Magic?

Unfortunately, Celestia could do with a bit of a lesson about Dream Magic herself, as something is dredged up from the recesses of her mind. Something dark. Something terrifying.

Something pink.
