Sunset Shimmer never really had a childhood or someone to teach her what she needs to know. So, after the fall formal, Sunset is faced with changes she is not yet ready for: friends and family who are willing to show her just what she's been missing. Will she accept accept this newfound solace or will her fears and insecurities get the better of her? Will she even have a choice?

Sex tag is only for brief discussions of sexuality and issues of modesty. There is no actual sexual content.

Author's notes: I've been working on this story for over a year. I'll admit it contains a lot of elements that appear commonly in other Sunset stories -- this is just my take on it. I'll try to give credit where credit is due -- although nearly every idea in this story occurred to me independently, others have actually published stories using many of them first.

The thrust of the story is to take material written for ages say 10-13 (i.e. the EQG movies/shorts/specials) and age it up to make it more dramatic and meaningful. Probably my favorite thing to write was the conversations that must have taken place, both in the human world and in Equestria, but that aren't depicted in any movie or book.

Full Disclosure: Sunset's friends play their usual crucial roles in her redemption and growth, but this is a Momlestia/Lunauntia story too. And there is no shipping. Romance isn't Sunset's priority as she crawls out of the darkness of her former life. Yet.

I had to add the AU tag after Forgotten Friendship came out. Up until then, this story was fairly canon-compatible. Now, it diverges a bit.

Good-natured warning: Feels. Lots of feels.

Sunset Shimmer was in love with watching the sun set.
Adagio was the same way.
Sunset claimed there could never be a “right” sunset.
Adagio disagreed.

This story is a sequel to My How the Seasons Go By...

For all intents and purposes, she was in love, hopelessly in love, and confused, and scared, oh so scared. So scared she can't do anything about it. How can a shy Amish girl like her hold an (honestly) unusual relationship with another girl if she can't even figure out how a toaster works? How can she handle losing her love as she marches off to war? Well as her momma always said, "It's better to try than to never try at all." And her momma's never been wrong before....yet.

Or, how a girl fresh from Amish country deals with a midlife crisis while juggling the wonders of 70's culture and technology, and the insanity of her sister and her friends, all on her Rumpsringa. A tale covering the days between and after the events of My How the Seasons Go By.

Special thanks again, to Kildeez for helping me edit this out.

Torque Wrench is a young mare who's been a builder and repairpony for years. Kerfuffle is a fashion designer. These two ponies seem to come from two different worlds, but before Hope Hollow lost its color, they had been the best of friends born out of a bond neither of them had expected.

Can they rekindle their friendship? Or perhaps, will this become something more?

Set after the events of the Rainbow Roadtrip special, it's suggested that you've seen it before reading this.

When Adora woke up in her oversized room in Bright Moon Castle early that morning, she got up from her cot, walked past the massive bed she had been given (and never used) and decided to take a shower in the waterfall. Because really, what else would you need a waterfall inside your room for? Really?

However, just as she got ready, she noticed the scroll on the floor...
