My take on a scene that probably should have been in My Little Pony: A New Generation. Pipp Petals and Zipp Storm finally hash things out before going on to Bridlewood.

Zipp and Pipp have always been distant sisters. Their interests never aligned, and rarely did they spend time in each other's company when their mom wasn't involved. But after returning from an adventure and making friends with earth ponies and a unicorn, the two royals have an important question to answer: are they sisters, or are they family?

Pipp is in a rut unable to make unicorn and earthpony fans and talk to them as readily as she can her pegasi fans. She needs something big something that says see I do care, she finds this in the Skyport being built. But as she's "helping" she stumbles into a part that hasn't been seen in generations.

This story is a parallel/sequel with/to The Deep Bridelwood, Tides of Time, and Hitch, The Angel Bunny and The Mare.

Argyle Starshine was an avid collector of relics from eras long gone, with the hope of proving that ponies used to be united. When Sunny succeeded in reuniting the three breeds, bringing magic back into the world, she unwittingly released an ancient foe of Ponykind.

Spoilers for the Gen 5 movie.

"So... you weren't going to tell me?" The pink pegasus had tears in her eyes, feeling like a tiny filly again as she looked up at her mother.

"Dearest..." There was sorrow in Queen Haven's eyes, and Pipp didn't even need to hear what she'd say next. She already knew she was right. But her mother spoke anyway. "Before today, it wouldn't have mattered."

With magic restored to Equestria, Zipp Storm is ecstatic to fly for real. While out enjoying a flight, she happens upon an old pegasi city that was once untouchable due to it being in the clouds. While exploring it, she finds a long abandoned factory...

-Only slight gore.

Pipp Petals loses her contact lenses. And her self-confidence.

This story is a sequel to When Magic Returns

The return of magic has some unexpected consequences. So Sunny and her friends set out on a new quest: to find the fabled city of Canterlot...

While picking up the pieces of her shattered home, Sunny has an unexpected visitor: an old, old friend that she never knew she had...

"Rule number one." Pipp put on an uncharacteristically serious face. "Your fans cannot be your friends."

Sunny blinked. "What?"

"Oh here we go," Zipp muttered to herself.
