This story is a sequel to Sitting in a Tree

Sunset Shimmer. Smart, brave, talented, and beautiful. Is there a more perfect creature to ever walk this earth?

There's one problem, though. You can't seem to work up the nerve to talk to her. She's always with her friends, and you don't feel worthy to talk to a girl like her. What chance do you have?

But today is a new day. You've made up your mind. Today is the day. Today, you will talk to her. Charisma isn't your forte, but you'll have to find some within yourself if you ever want to ask Sunset out. Maybe just a simple compliment would get you on her radar? How hard can that be?

6th installment of the The Cute, the Fluffy, and Romantic

WARNING: May contain lots of fluff

One month ago Silver Spark started school at Canterlot High after moving to get away from his past and recover from his loss. This plan hasn't gone very well so far; it's almost as if someone is actively trying to ruin his life. Friendless and avoided by the bulk student body, he is an ideal target for bullies. The Fall Formal is coming soon and Silver might just find a place for a proper new beginning.

Still, ignoring the past doesn't make it go away. It has a habit of popping back up in the strangest ways.

Rewrite Status - 2017-09-05: Chapter 1 - 8 Completed. Any re-written chapters will be marked with (R). Please note the rewrites will not substantially change the plot and are not required reading to understand future chapters.

*Rated Teen for themes of depression and self-harm, some violence including fist and sword fighting, occasional swearing, complex and non-traditional relationships, implied or slightly overt sexuality that might necessitate the appropriate tag in the future but nothing explicit and probably some other inappropriate things that you could expect to hear in high school.

Note: This starts as a re-telling/writing of the Equestria Girls storyline starting at the very beginning but you can expect some divergence from canon as time progresses. it is first person, primarily from the perspective of Silver Spark. If you are curious what Silver Spark looks like, you can see a picture of him here thought it might spoil things a tiny bit.

Warning! There are potential spoilers in the comments!
