Twilight wants to learn how to play guitar and Sunset is her only option. But Sunset has a little problem about it. She really can’t teach anything when Twilight keeps being so… adorkable. Things escalated quickly. And Sunset could only blame the adorable girl, she was a dork.

Title inspired of course by: The Rolling Stones - It's Only Rock 'N Roll (But I Like It)
This is a gift for my amazing friend and editor (yes a second gift because I could) VitalSpark, that is doing 35 years in June 1!
Edited by Exterminate Regenerate, thank you very much guy!

Sunset Shimmer hasn't been to Equestria in a long time. Okay, she was there only a few months ago, but it was only for a moment, and she'd rather forget about that. One day, her friends manage to convince her to finally return, at least for the summer. After all, she could easily stay at Princess Twilight's. What Sunset soon discovers, however, is that there's a lot in Equestria that she doesn't know about, and when her feelings for her host come to surface, she finds this vacation might be more complicated than she expected.

Not actually related to National Lampoon's Vacation.

This story is a sequel to Twilight Shimmer

Twilight Shimmer wants something more for her married life with her true love. She wants another member of the family. At the same time, she learns just how much she and Sunset mean to Rainbow Dash. As the years pass, the concept of family only becomes stronger.

NOTES
1. Takes place a few years after the early chapters of Twilight Shimmer. Notes will be made in that story when it passes by this one.
2. Fourth consecutive Christmas special I've done.

Twilight Sparkle knows they’re lucky, and she’s not stupid. All her human counterpart wants is to try and understand how the magic works. But she’s in love, and as logical as she tries to be, she can’t handle a human version of herself being around her girlfriend Sunset all of the times she can’t be.

Sunset Shimmer's experiencing a night of living hell. Thankfully, Twilight Sparkle shows up and lends a comforting shoulder to lean on.

  In a world where the stars shine through both day and night, a savage attack upon the Phoenix Tower of Canterlot Castle leaves the city in chaos, a princess abducted and the stars fading from the sky.
  Now, Princess Sunset Shimmer dons the legendary Solstice Raiment and the Flareblades of the Sunmother in a desperate quest to save the glittering heavens and the love of her life.
  Because if the stars die... her world will soon follow.

Historian's Note: Set in the distant reaches of the multiverse, this tale is loosely connected with the events of SunLight Sliders, yet requires no knowledge of that story.
