This story is a sequel to Code Blue

The Dazzlings are forced to spend a whole night with Pinkie Pie and her crazy sisters.

Rainbow Dash has a run-in with the cops.

I suggest reading Code Blue before Pink because you will be lost

Also, I regret nothing.

A different take on alicorn ascension. Sixteen years after arriving in Ponyville, Twilight Sparkle is excited to have invented a brand-new kind of spell, but it will come with consequences she cannot possibly anticipate. Meanwhile, threats in shadows around the world conspire to overthrow the Solar Throne. With her world turned upside down, she will have to come to terms with the role that fate has dealt her while straining to keep Celestia in power.

(Please Note: This story was started before any season three information was available. All episodes in season three and later are non-canon for this story, which also means there's no Crystal Empire in this one. In addition, the promotional map released close to the beginning of season three was also not available and is not compatible with this story. While the OC tag is active because there are OCs in the story, they're really just supporting characters. The focus is on Twilight.)

Sunset Shimmer isn't sure she's got much to be merry about this holiday season.

A few weeks ago, she thought she'd turned her life around. Now she's not sure she's accomplished anything at all. Not since the incident... Scandal, really.

When the rumors had begun to leak, everyone was so certain it was her spreading them. That she'd returned to her old ways, that her reformation was nothing but a charade. Even those she'd called friends were so quick to assume the worst, and to disown her. And even after the true culprits confessed, the damage had been done.

So now it was Sunset's turn to lose faith. Because if those she called friends were so ready to distrust her... Had she ever really had their trust or friendship at all?

Set after the Equestria Girls Holiday Special.

(One-shot fic inspired by a picture, it's description, and Christmas- I mean Hearth's Warming magic!)
(Notice: considered to take place after Rainbow Rocks so yes Sunset is reformed.)

After a long and exhausting morning, you donned your winter clothes and headed to a Canterlot cafe to meet up with your girlf- marefriend Sunset Shimmer for a Hearth's Warming lunch.

After a mishap with a senile, half-blind janitor mistaking her clothes for a wad of towels, Sunset Shimmer has to find a way to get home without being seen. Unfortunately, her plans don't exactly work out the way she'd hoped...

I've seen a lot of these types of fics as of late, and I broke down and joined the bandwagon. Honestly, even in the first movie, I've always liked Sunset Shimmer's character, and the second movie just made me like her character more, so I kinda wanted to do a Shimmer Fic anyway. I'm not really intending for this to be edgy, but honestly, some of life's funniest moments can come from a rather awkward situation... Hopefully I can make you laugh at least once.

When Sonata and Aria return to school after disappearing for several weeks, Sunset begins to find out the reason the girls turned into such evil beings.

Credit for artwork goes to Jack-a-Lynn on DeviantArt.

After being abandoned by her sisters and both physically and emotionally tormented by the students of CHS, Sonata has no place to go. Sonata, who was evil, was a bright girl who always kept a smile on her face and seemingly cheerful with no care for the world. Now she is homeless, scared and seems emotionless until a male student came to her rescue. But what happened to her that caused her to lose even her emotions, and how will she be with this new found help? Only time will tell.

Now you can read the Dark Spin-Off of this story, have fun!
Also thanks to Tennis Match Fan for editing my chapters since chapter 2.

After the battle of the bands, Twilight has been thinking over many things regarding the Dazzlings. She feels that she failed in her duty as Princess of Friendship not just because she didn't figure everything out, but also due to the fact she just left the Dazzlings alone. When she defeated Sunset she gave her friends, but Twilight just watched as the Adagio, Aria, and Sonata ran off the stage. Don't they also deserve another chance?

Twilight has decided to make it her mission to fix this mistake, and she hopes Sunset Shimmer will help her. She also hopes the two of them can improve their friendship.

After the battle of the bands, things have been different and better for Sunset Shimmer. However, there are a couple of things on her mind still. The main one being how she wants things to be better between her and Twilight. After all, Sunset knows she owes the purple pony princess everything. She also feels like they didn't really get to know each other better last time Twilight came to the human world.

When Twilight mentions a mission for the two of them will this be the chance Sunset wanted to improve things? Also how deep will their relationship grow if it grows in the first place? Also what happened to the Dazzlings afterwards anyways?

Featured Jan. 6, 2015 (even if only for an hour or so).

All magic vanished from the world when Discord fell. Along with it, the might of the unicorns and alicorn princesses dwindled. Even the Elements Of Harmony lost their potence and were lost in the sea of time.

Left without the guidance of the alicorns and the magic of harmony, the ponies soon raised Equestria to a country ruled by science and industry. But still, some remain who dream of magic.

As the mysterious beast Magia threatens the world, a sickly filly named Twilight Sparkle and five friends take it upon themselves to delve into the caverns beneath Canterlot to find the burial ground of magic, the Lunarium.

This is an ongoing Rewrite. The story in and of itself was finished in April 2013 but needed some massive editing. This new version features all new scenes, better descriptions, less mistakes, 3D-Effects, and a gratis code for the DLC-Character "Emo Pie", which on any other occasion would've been a pre-order bonus only.

Or something.

Also thanks to everybody who helps/ed editing this story, no matter if you did only help me with one chapter or all. Thank you for turning this rewrite from another mess into a brilliant story!
