This idea came to my head after reading two Stories from a use LucidDreamer. Where Sunset's demonic look is less due to her being evil or corrupted and more something that is natural for her. However due to a fear of any further rejection after the events of the fall formal she keeps this knowledge to herself till she meets some old friends from years back. Can these six help her get her pride back?

Rating of Teen due to profanity and Narcotics are more mentioned in past tenes for one of the characters.

This story is a sequel to Played for a Foal

Knowledge of the previous story is not required.

The tale of how Anon, a human completely unrelated to the Crystal Empire's royal family, came to be known as Flurry Heart's uncle is a long one. The important part is that Flurry, now sixteen years old, sees him as a role model. She admires his sense of freedom and his carefree outlook on life. That's what she wants for herself, too. Unfortunately, her parents seem dead set on forcing her to be a picture perfect princess.

Ugh, growing up sucks.
