"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.

This story is a sequel to Back To School. It draws most upon the events of Twilight Sparkle Was Shot, When All Your Wishes Are Granted, and Reunions and Laments.

A few months ago, at the beginning of summer, Twilight Sparkle was shot in a mall. She survived. Now, the authorities have captured the perpetrator. Twilight is quite surprised to hear this. But then, so is the young lady who shot her.

The only way to prevent an innocent girl from being punished in her stead is for Sunrise Shimmer to return to the human world and confess. But she has made friends and family since that fateful day. Princesses, teenage musicians, ponies, and even Twilight Sparkle herself.

Both of them.

And they’re not letting her go without a fight.

Content note: suicide / self harm is briefly discussed but is not shown in this tale, nor does it occur within this story.

Chronology note: this story takes place towards the beginning of Season Six. In this timeline, Starlight is not Twilight’s apprentice.

This continuity continues in If You Would Friend a Tiger.

And, of course, the seminal story that starts it all begins here.

Part of the Sunset Rising Continuity.

Special thanks to Dave Bryant for the creation of Lectern’s New and Used Books, and of Mr. Lectern himself.

During a simple winter day lunch with Twilight Sparkle, Sweetie Belle learns there's a lot she doesn't know about her sister.

Sometimes, watching those we care about suffer can hurt more than anything.

Iron Will doesn't sit down and take pain in stride, though. He's gotta fight back. Like an angry bull. So when the ignorant jerks up at the state capitol decide to be idiots, he has to figure out a way to make things right again.

Only sometimes, there's no perfect catchphrase for the job.

After saving Wallflower from an abusive home, Sunset figures the best way to help with her girlfriend's years of trauma is challenging the restrictions she's lived with all her life, like with saying curse words.

Turns out, Wally's very good at that.

"This was hilarious and stupid and touching."

There's only enough magic left to help one pony... so which to choose? And when?

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

"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."

Trixie Lulamoon hasn't always been the nicest of ponies. She's done things in her life she isn't proud of. Things, she's afraid will one day catch up to her in the life beyond this one.
Twilight, like usual, has all the answers Trixie needs.
