Sunset has improved in her new life, with friends old and new. Even interested in a new event at school, about some games against a rival school; Everything was going well, until something, causing her to revive the worst experience of her life.

A lot of things have changed in Sunny Flare's life between her sophomore and junior years. Her mother, Abacus Cinch, retired; she got her first summer job; and she's started treating her associates like actual friends instead of warm bodies to hide from the conniving masses behind.

It's now the day before Ghouloween (the Pedestrian equivalent to Nightmare Night, for the ponies in the audience), and Sunny's got her first report card of the new Principal Cadance's tenure. After two years of perfect grades... this one's... not perfect.

Unbeknownst to Sunny while she tries to figure out how to explain this to her mother, the former Principal of Crystal Prep already knows why this happened. Sunny Flare might never see the bombs drop, but this reveal will leave a smoking crater in her soul just like the real deal.

With her parents gone for the week, Twilight decides to invite her friends from Crystal Prep to her house in an attempt to get to know them better. It goes surprisingly better than she hoped until Lemon Zest brings out a card game she wanted to play with them all. What the heck is cards against humanity?

All tags are for the card contents.

Sunset and the Dazzlings will spend the new year together. And maybe it's the perfect opportunity for a certain girl to take a chance with a certain mermaid.

It has been one year since Lemon Zest graduated from Crystal Prep Academy. But while her former classmates are out chasing their dreams, she is unsure of her own life path. One night at a club, she has a most unexpected run-in with an old friend.

Contains: suggestive themes (go-go dancing), mild profanity, and alcohol references (no actual drinking).

Two fake vegetarians and a vegan sell weed, contemplate love.

The Spring Fling Contest entry. I don't interact with any other contests.

Twilight is invited to an airsoft event at an abandoned school by some of her old Crystal Prep classmates one late night. The night, however, does not go quite as planned, as several surprises await Twilight on this chaotic night.

Perception is a fascinating thing. Sometimes, how someone views themselves and how others view someone don't coincide. In fact, it can be absolutely baffling how different the two are.

The girl who seems to have everything together? She might be a wreck beneath the surface.

The girl who seems so inattentive? Perhaps she genuinely doesn't see the attempts to reach her.

The girl who seems so moody? Maybe there's more to it than what people see.

But of course, that's the thing about perception. Sometimes, it just doesn't line up. And few know that better than the girls at Crystal Prep Academy.

(This is a collection of little vignettes I'll be publishing, effectively going into my headcanons for the Shadowbolts. I hope you enjoy it.)

This story is a sequel to SuShi's Bizarre Adventure: Fantasy Friendship

Quick note: This story takes place in an alternate continuity created by Jojoleopard, under the umbrella of Sushi's Bizarre Adventure.
---I>>>>>>>
Abacus Cinch has been defeated, and life goes on. It's been a peaceful few weeks for Sunset Shimmer and her friends, but a seemingly random Stand attack plunges their lives back into chaos.
A new threat stalks Canterlot, and some old ones aren't as vanquished as first thought. With Sunset out of action and the mysterious Nowhere Man lurking just out of reach, Pinkie Pie is thrust into the spotlight, leading the charge to save her friend.

Lemon Zest is pretty lucky for a pony who just got fried to death, as she scores the one in ten thousand chance a pony has at becoming a ghost. Knowing nothing about how to survive the afterlife, Zest seeks out the guidance of a far older and more experienced specter named Sugarcoat. Fittingly finding herself haunting an abandoned schoolhouse, Lemon Zest will need to learn the basics if she ever wants to be a pro-ghost.
Of course, tuition isn't entirely free, and Sugarcoat will expect Lemon Zest to help her recruit more ghosts to the lonely Shadowbolt Academy.
