Sunset Shimmer has faced a lot, but now she returns to something that puts more butterflies in her stomach than everything else combined...returning home for a simple picnic with her mentor and Princess Cadence.

Can she reconcile with her loved ones and enjoy the day? Can she get over her nerves enough to actually ENJOY the day?

A commission by Alexwarlorn, who wanted a carefree, happy, lighthearted Slice of Life story I was glad to provide.

Hope you guys enjoy it!

Thanks to otakuap for the cover pic! Pretend that you're looking at it from Sunset's POV!

Sunset Shimmer has been worrying her friends of late. It had started off as her talking around the subject of home. Then outright avoiding it.

It isn't that her friends want to have a sleepover at her place, or have her host a Pinkie Party. They're just worried. Sunset does have somewhere to call home right? A roof over her head and a warm place to sleep?

EQG. Set after Friendship Games and before. Takes plot points from the comic special. Notes per chapter as needs must.

Just a story I wrote trying to escape writers block on other projects. It sort of ran away with me. Name comes from this track, but it didn't have much influence on the story. In need of cover art if anyone can point me to something good.

Now with cover art from Novel-Idea, designer of the fine image now applied.

A month or so after the Battle of the Bands, Principal Celestia calls Sunset Shimmer and friends to her office, for a long-overdue discussion.

Edited and smoothed over with help from the ever-patient Little Jackie Papercut.

Sunset Shimmer wants nothing more than to be able to enjoy the holidays with her friends, but the festive season does nothing more than remind her of how alone and cold she's been for so many years. Is it possible for her to learn to love the holidays again?

Maybe with the help of some friends, she can.

After so many years in the mirror world, Sunset Shimmer decides to return to Equestria, and make amends for her misdeeds.

Everywhere I went, I hear people telling me, Hey! Living in Canterlot is just freaking awesome! It is a wondrous and magnificent city. It is the city where all your dreams can come true, and that it is also a place where true love can be easily found. It is also a city wher---

Please stop with the cowpoop.

There is no such thing as dreams becoming reality, nor is true love actually real. It is all fantasy, made-up, a fiction that plenty of people wishes it to be fact.

Complete and utter cowpoop. That sums up my life too. Cow--freaking--poop. My life sucks.

This is set in the Equestria Girls universe, after Rainbow Rocks.

Sunset Shimmer, has finally decided to return to Equestria to right all the wrongs that she has done on both sides of the crystal mirror. She is even ready to face whatever punishment Celestia sees fit, no matter how great it is.

Imagine her surprise when she is forgiven AND given another chance to be Celestia's student again.

As she makes amends and hoofs out apologies, she will also make some friends with both old and new faces, including Celestia's adopted son, Lockon Astros.

And little does she realize that, fate has plans for her once again. But this time, she will earn more than just the redemption that she seeks.

After putting on the Element of Magic, Sunset Shimmer was shown just how much of a monster she really is. But that wasn't all the Elements did to her.

Sunset has now been forced to serve penance by answering any question truthfully and by doing anything asked of her, whether she wants to or not.

And she really doesn't want to.

Until all of the hatred in her heart is gone, Sunset is at the whim of her peers, unbeknownst to them of course. Can her new "friends" help her down the road to redemption?

If not, there's always that other Twilight Sparkle she keeps running into.

After the completion of the Friendship Games, Sunset hopes to complete a long overdue assignment before Twilight departs for Equestria.

Better late than never.

A cryptic note brings Sunset Shimmer face to face with Adagio Dazzle, but she finds herself woefully unprepared for what her former foe has to say...
