The others, Rarity in particular, observed the blonde-haired newcomer. He stood a head taller than Sunset in shiny, black shoes, long, straight hair, (apart from a single, wavy strand hanging partly in front of his pale, yet chiseled face) dressed in what might have been a white tuxedo with a compass rose imprinted on the cummerbund and an ordinary rose embedded in the collar. He smiled down at his captive. "I've missed you so much, Sunset Shimmer."
Turning her head enough to see his arctic-blue eyes, her own widened in shock. "B-Blueblood?!"

Er, what's going on?

He leaned forward. "Boo."

You scared Fluttershy. HE WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO LIVE!

Rarity is already smitten

Applejack rolled her eyes. "A prince? Ah might not have the highest grades in geography, but ain't no government Ah know of still has princes an' princesses today. Where's he from, anyway?"

Applejack must have really bad grades in geography if this is the case.

I love the idea of Sunset Shimmer X Blueblood. And of course, Rarity chasing Blueblood around will never get old. I wonder, does this world have a Blueblood? Does Principal Celestia have a layabout nephew on a trust fund?

The idea has occurred to me, Sunset's stated goal before she was redeemed was to become a Princess of Equestria, and her unstated but widely assumed goal was to become part of Celestia's family. If she had married Blueblood, she would have become a Princess, and Celestia's niece. That seems like a much easier goal than becoming an alicorn. I always wondered if there was a period of time where she chased Blueblood around like a far more aggressive and terrifying version of Rarity, maybe she was even the mare who put the fear of gold-diggers into Blueblood in the first place.

I got the impression Sunset wanted to be a princess because it was the highest goal she could find, the most powerful position she could ascend to by her own strength. Her villainous shtick was pride, being better than everypony else, and I'm not sure if she'd be able to gain the title by marrying somepony beneath her in ability and still justify her ego, if that makes sense.

Or maybe, like you said, she's the reason he ended up like he did. I've written BB being chased by an obsessive, skilled unicorn filly before, with only mildly traumatizing results. :pinkiesmile:

5740497 What you are saying does make a lot of sense, Sunset did seem driven by overwhelming ambition to strive for ever more. I am sure she coveted the magical might of an alicorn, and if Celestia had somehow given it to her back before Sunset initially went through the mirror, I am sure that in the end, Sunset would have worked to overthrow Celestia, because that would be the only remaining challenge.

On the other hand, while Sunset is in the EqG Universe for two and a half years, she spends a huge amount of her time working to become the most socially influential and prestigious member of the school, mainly through winning all those meaningless princess contests. We don't see Sunset winning any academic or athletic competitions, just those popularity polls. In fact, she admits later on she dated Flash Sentry (implied to be one of the most admired and high-status guys in school) because she wanted to use his popularity to make herself more popular and prestigious. If she's willing to date a guy to win a meaningless Princess title in an alien high school, marrying a guy to become an honorary Princess in Equestria doesn't seem that much of a stretch to me. Of course, Sunset wouldn't stop there, the day after the wedding she'd be right back at the dark magic, still scheming to gather more power and influence, but I could see her viewing Blueblood as one tool in her arsenal.

Ooh, good point! :pinkiegasp: I actually forgot about her and Flash again. She might not have been willing to rely entirely on her boy-toy being the means by which she gets where she wants to go, but was willing to use him like anyone else.

Though for the sake of clarity, that wasn't what happened in this story. Very interesting angle, though, definitely something this fic could have been if I were going for one of those political-backstab-fest-intrigue things instead of the goofy rom-com (weighted towards comedy) it is. :twilightsmile:

5741455 He definitely would not have been plan A, of course. I just mean if Sunset had never found that mirror, and Celestia had not thrown her out but told Sunset she would never make Sunset a Princess, I could see Sunset doing it as a backup plan. At least trying to research a love potion that Celestia and Cadance couldn't detect, as a possibility.

Obviously that would be a very different story than this delightfully goofy rom-com. Here, I'm more inclined to wonder if Snips and Snails would get jealous, or something.

Aww no singing but it's a tradition to sing in the cafeteria during lunch :fluttershysad:
Great story by the way can't wait to read more. :twilightsmile:

Ho? This is interesting, and I can't say I've seen it done before. Coupled with some rather insightful observations and a dash or three of genre savvy.
It has certainly caught my eye.

Rarity clasped her hands together, her eyes shining. "A prince, you say?!" She sighed dreamily, her mind wandering off to the flowery fields of fairytale romance.

Here we go again.

"Equestria!" interrupted Pinkie, who began speaking very quickly, "He was like a playmate-slash-colleague-slash-minion while you were still kinda evil and studying under the princess in your world, but not princess Twilight, like another princess, and while you only wanted to keep your relationship professional, he fell deeply in love with you, but then you disappeared to THIS world, and he never saw you again! Crushed, he spent the next few years stewing in cold, lonely bitterness until he heard about a way to reunite with his lost love; the portal leading from your world to this one!"
Sunset's mouth hung open as the others awaited confirmation. "I... Uh... I-I only knew maybe the first part, but yea... How did you know all that?"
Pinkie smiled. "Just a hunch!"

Goddammit Pinkie!

Sunset blinked. "Weddi-" Before she could complete the one-word question, the fashionista was gone, off to find her Prince Charming. The air smelled faintly of disaster.

Oh dis gun be gud!

Sunset repressed any kind of facial expression. There were disadvantages to having an adult mind in a teenager's body and teenage friends. Moments like these were one of them.

I see.

Alone, he stood in silence. What just happened?

I have no idea.

Watching him go, with a bit more attention than was strictly called for, Rarity wondered what she had done wrong for him not to be asking her hand right now! Well, perhaps that would have been a rather extreme reaction, but he should have at least shown some interest! She muttered something decidedly unladylike under her breath.

Other than be really creepy considering he's most likely several years older than you and he's had a similar experience?

Her eyes widened as what she'd said caught up to her, making her sit up straight. "I mean AT ALL, I don't like him AT ALL!"

Riiiight.

Sunset seemed to mull this over for a minute. "I'd, um..." She shrugged, looking down at the table somewhat guiltily. "I don't know, I only ever learned to destroy relationshi-"
"Hey," Rainbow interrupted, "we talked about this, remember? You've gotta quit beating yourself up about that."
"Past is in the past, Sugarcube."

Rarity giggled in reply. "I am a healthy young lady, I just wanted to know whether or not the rest of you were too."

Hm.

Pinkie giggle-snorted. "I'd probably just throw a pie in his face!"
Rarity looked gobsmacked. "That would show affection, how?"
"Tough love?"

Riight.

Some blushed, Pinkie scratching her head. "So, what, lemurs? Penguins? Kangaroos?"
There were some laughs as Fluttershy shook her head, giggling a little herself.
"I don't think she's that kind of animal lover, darling." Smiling gently, Rarity patted Fluttershy's hand. "I'm sure you'll find a nice girl in due time."

Agreed.

"Okay," Rainbow said with a confident grin, having made up her mind, "if I wanted a guy's attention," she pantomimed a quick guitar solo, "I'd blow him away with my awesome shredding!"

HEH!

Then Sunset realized something, her focus on the conversation fading in favor of that on the cafeteria door. Here. This is where it happens. The cafeteria. Lunch. A newcomer from Equestria comes in every time and... Sunset herself was the only one so far to be an exception to the rule, but both times before resulted in a song that the entire student body rallied behind, and there was only one thing she could picture Blueblood singing about if he did it at all.

Oh boy.

Applejack looked less sure. "Really? 'Cuz Ah think if he went all musical Romeo where everyone could hear, she'd prob'ly never live it dow-" she smiled sheepishly as she realized Sunset could still hear her. "-wwnnand, uh, a-and that's why we'll help ya!"
Sunset looked up, confused. "Help?"
Rainbow nodded, pumping a fist. "Yea! If he comes in looking all Broadway, we'll shut him down somehow."

Good luck with that.

No sign of contrition on his face, he nodded to the twice-vexed farm girl. "See what I mean? No clue what that meant."

You're a moron.

Pinkie and Rainbow replied in unison. "Twenty-seven."

Dare I ask?

Now she blushed. "I only ate what he brought because going all the way to the nearest dining area when there was food right there would have been a waste of precious reading time!"

Riiight.

To Sunset, the mock-pitying looks her friends gave her and Applejack taking her hat off to hold it mournfully over her heart was only a little funny.

Hm.

So mainly only Fluttershy is into girls in this fic, huh? I'll stand by you shipping preferences so long as it's not the hated Flutterdash but I hope you don't mind if I keep my fingers crossed for certain pairings.
TwilightOrSunsetTwilightOrSunset!

Oh, and the chapter was good. Poor Applejack! XD

Nice story, ever going to finish it?

7003814 too bad, it has potential.

Thought I'd put this down to be tracked. It looks interesting, but if there's no chance of it being completed any time soon, I really don't want to dive in just to have to wonder how iot's all going to eand.
