Soarin and Rainbow Dash are always bickering. Always. In fact, if Twilight didn't know better, she'd think that they didn't like each other.

Of course, that's not the case at all.

Takes place after Friendship Games

The life of a Wonderbolt isn't all glitz and glam, but there's some of that, to be sure; making explosive entrances, roaring crowds, and – of course – the hordes of fans waiting in every city. It can get tiring, and it can get stressful, but the feeling of making such an impact on ponies everywhere is unbeatable.

For Soarin, that feeling is at its largest when he's dealing with his fans who are the smallest; he's a hit with the foals wherever the Wonderbolts go, and lately, it's started to really show. The constant requests for lessons and autographs start to get snickers from the other Wonderbolts, but it's all in good fun – until Soarin learns a little too much about one of his fans, putting the whole thing in perspective.

Unsure of what to do, or whom to trust, Soarin is caught asking himself some tough questions, and he finds the trust he once put in other ponies is as much a burden as a help.

This story is a sequel to Sunset Shimmer is FedUp!

Sunset Shimmer has a pretty good life. She has good friends, a nice apartment, she's back in the good graces of most of the student body at Canterlot High, and she has a hotline to the Princess of Friendship back in Equestria.

But Sunset Shimmer has always had a temper. And there are so, so many things that annoy her.

Like FedEx. And crabs. But she's already dealt with those things.

Lately, a lot of the human world's little annoyances, oddities, and even things that have somehow popped up that shouldn't even exist are getting under Sunset's skin.

And she's had enough.

It's time to fight back.

(Inspired by, but not a crossover with, Dan Vs..)

So where does Sunset Shimmer live? That's what her friends have been asking and it's about time they got some answers.

Based on my own headcanon on where Sunset lives.

Princess Celestia has something to tell Sunset Shimmer.

Something about her parents.

It's nothing strange at all.

Yep.

Rated Teen and Sex for a very brief mention of how babies are made.
