Starlight Glimmer's graduation was nervewracking for Twilight Sparkle, and in its aftermath, she begins to worry about her own future. She and her friends have come a long way since they first met, achieving many of their dreams and, in the process, assuming new responsibilities. But as they have grown into their roles in Equestria, have she and her friends have started to grow apart?

Clearly, the best way to answer this question is with a few mugs of cider.

Starlight Glimmer wants to fly kites, but the weather is not scheduled for anything conducive to kite flying. Things go awry because the name 'Starlight Glimmer' is in that sentence.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Thanks to Mitch H for an offering that became the paraphrased second paragraph and helping connect two discordant ideas. Also Tired Old Man for his input and edits.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

My other fics Sunset Shimmer is MAD about Everything and A Newspaper Solves Everypony's Problem are tied into this, though not strictly required for enjoyment...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

...assuming there's any to be had.

Long ago, lost to the mists of time, there was once an alicorn named Star Dust. He ruled alongside Celestia for many years after Luna's banishment, having domain over Science. Three hundred years ago, after the devastating failure of an experiment, he was cast out of Equestria, never to be heard from again...at least that's what Celestia thought. Armed with the knowledge of their sisterhood, Twilight, Trixie Lulamoon, Moon Dancer, Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer and Tempest Shadow must brave the wilderness to find their father, and bring him home.

sequel to How Starlight Glimmer Actually Reformed

Starlight Glimmer is now Twilight's daughter!
But how does this effect the elements of harmony and Equestria?
First thing's first, Twilight will have to tell her parents about their sudden granddaughter. Then they're going to have to talk to both princesses about the new legal princess who happens to be an ex-villain. Hopefully her brother and sister in law will understand. Then there's Twilight's friends, the town Starlight controlled, and many problems only the elements of harmony can handle.

Sometimes she wishes she could go back to the days where she raised a young filly, Starlight...

Twilight Sparkle gathers her friends after receiving a rather distressing letter from her mentor, Princess Celestia. She's not happy about the contents, at all.

It seems her friends all went on some magical adventure without her. And now they're all in a lot of trouble.

Sex tag and Teen rating for some crude humor.

(Takes place after "Rock Solid Friendship". Proofread by yodajax10 on FiMFiction and Smity1038 on Deviant Art.)

Starlight has put up with a lot having Trixie as a friend. Nopony ever said friends were perfect, and Starlight has been willing to give Trixie the benefit of the doubt for some time now.

But after Trixie accidentally infects Starlight with poison joke when she doesn't listen to Starlight's warnings, Starlight starts to question if being friends with Trixie is really worth it, and threatens to break off their friendship if Trixie can't learn to listen.

While Maud tries to help Starlight calm down and reconsider her actions, Trixie seeks help from Twilight to figure out how to best apologize to Starlight and show that she's changed. But are Maud and Twilight up to the task of healing a broken bond? Or will Trixie lose her closest and best friend?

When Twilight Sparkle prepares to turn in for the night, she is approached by an intoxicated Starlight Glimmer. Unable to stand or form complete sentences, the drunken unicorn attempts to profess her love for the princess of friendship.

When a unicorn possesses more natural power than a non-alicorn can hold, consequences take shape. Starlight is one such mare that is victim to the hold of possessing too much magical power for her form to hold. This is her internal struggle.

Starlight Glimmer wants to know why she's been left out of so many of Twilight and her friends' adventures this season, and so decides to have a little conversation with her mentor about the situation.

Pretty much a colour-coded conversation based fic, so please bear that in mind before going in...

Set just after the events of the episode known as Every Little Thing She Does.

Starlight Glimmer's friends all find out she has become a mother long before any of them met her. But what'll happen when they make the discovery the long-lost filly isn't so 'lost' after all? What'll happens if... she just lives around the corner?

Who knows... but we're about to find out.
