Sunny's an alicorn now, living with a new unicorn roommate, and wondering why Izzy's so unique and why Izzy keeps saying weird things like, "I love you."

Whilst refurbishing her lighthouse, Sunny stumbles upon an old and very unique kind of canned food.

One that is guaranteed to be preserved forever in her memories.

Hitch and Sunny look at an old window and contemplate the legacy of Twilight Sparkle.

Now with a Youtube reading and not just one but two written reviews!

This is an entry in the Snippet Series, an anthology of old oneshots that I (and my good buddy Str8aura) wrote based around interesting pics I found. New ones will be posted every other Thursday for the foreseeable future.

Zipp is alone once again on Hearts and Hooves Day. So is her mom.

(Couldn't find a good wholesome image of just Zipp and Haven together, this is the closest I could get, LOL.)

Zipp and Pipp have always been distant sisters. Their interests never aligned, and rarely did they spend time in each other's company when their mom wasn't involved. But after returning from an adventure and making friends with earth ponies and a unicorn, the two royals have an important question to answer: are they sisters, or are they family?

Izzy is bored waiting for Zipp to arrive for their get together, so she offers to style Sunny's mane while they wait.

Sunny believed the tales. Really believed, in a way that most ponies didn't anymore. About the Elements of Harmony, and about Twilight Sparkle. Back when Equestria had princesses, and was whole, when every creature knew the real power of Friendship. She believed⁠—and she knew that, one day, if she believed hard enough, it could be again.

Elsewhere, distant, Twilight Sparkle watches her would-be student, and frets.

[04/29/21 - 05/02/21] Featured. That's a first for me. Thank you all so much.

Thanks to the heroics of Sunny Starscout, Hitch Trailblazer, Izzy Moonbow, Zipp Storm and Pipp Petals, magic has at long last returned to the land, and after many many years apart, earth ponies, unicorns and pegasi no longer live in abject fear of each other. However, there’s still one big loose end Sunny has to tie up. All it took was one little question from her new friends about her old foalhood friend Sprout Cloverleaf.

Sunny and Hitch have both been caught up lately, with friends, with duties, training; you name it. They've hardly had anytime to hang out lately. Most ponies would simply not worry too much, but it's not quite that simple for these two. After all, it's difficult to spend time apart when you might be catching feelings, right?
