It's better to see death from her funny side. On my funeral there's gonna be a clown. I would hire Pinkie Pie, but sadly she only exists inside our poor minds.

What the buck?!?!?!??
Sunset wanted to scream as she stared at the mirror. She was an alicorn, a freaking alicorn! Wait, what? Celestia is her mother? And did the sun deity really just said her little sister Twilight waited at the breakfast table?
Having a total overload, her brain decided to make an emergency restard. Sunset fainted. {Will include EG}

I've had this idea for a while with Sunset and Twilight being sisters. I'm sorry, but I couldn't make the beginning any better. Future chapters will be longer and hopefully better written. Tell me what you think about the General idea.

Silly Sunset, yes, of course you want to be a princess! :trollestia:

Everyone wants to be a princess, Sunset. Join us. Join us.

Sunset herself carefully readjusted her wings, as she sat down. It was almost like having arms again, only her forelegs were supposed to be her arms. And there was one more thing: she couldn't fly. She needed to fix that, fast, yet she knew only one way as to how she could learn flying as fast as possible.

Reminds me of one of those really bad written fanfictions. A giant robo attack and this could have been easily written by Rainbow Dash. Damn you Rainbow, why did you ever show that web-side? I didn't need to read Pinkie's Cupacake story.

oh gad

5824060 Dude, you're making me nervous, what hmm??!!
Sorry, I'm always on edge after releasing a chapter that bad.

the only negative here for me. is that it's short for my tastes

Dude you made me think this was going to be a bad chapter with the way you made the title but no it was pretty entertaining

5838582 I mean I felt like. It did contribute a little bit to the overall plot that you have been putting up so far and once again it was pretty good, you shouldn't be so hard on yourself

Is Luna or Discord also around there? now that I think

5912308 Since it's been a while, since the last update, next chapter's name is going to be: Why is there a face on the moon? Oh no...

When Sunset is going to start worrying about what changed the whole world? (or if she's in a dream, or got swapped with an alternate universion version of herself or whatever)

5474320 every pony for themselves *yrips Sunset and runs*

Oh by the way I added you're story to my group 'Alicorn Sunset, Yay'

6125978 Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaake :trollestia:

I've been waiting for this opportunity for way too long.

[This is all an excuse for me not being able to come up with a good joke. I'm up for suggestions.]

Please move this to an author's note block at the end. It really breaks the immersion of the story and, if you hadn't written that, I wouldn't have had any reason to complain because it feel natural as a way to build anticipation.

Sunset mixed there some stuff up.

garbled grammar Your is. I'm not sure what you intended.

Does all of this is actually happening, just because some higher being is bored and wants to open up old wounds?

I'm not sure what properly natural-feeling sentence would match your intent, but at least fix the grammar. "Is all of this actually happening"

While the evolution of English has added a requirement to use an auxilliary or copular verb like do/does/did to negate a verb or turn it into a question, "is" is already a copular verb, so you don't add do.

The Wikipedia page on the subject is fairly easy to understand: Do-support

some workout

"workout" is a countable noun meaning "exercise routine" so using "some workout" here violates the "must agree in number" rule.

(It's valid English when using "some" to indicate indeterminacy rather than quantity as in "He said he was doing some workout. I wasn't paying attention.")

Here are valid forms:

"you need to do some workouts" (valid, but not natural-sounding English)
"you need to do a workout" (even worse, because, obviously, one workout won't change how you look)
"you need to have a workout routine" (closer to what you want, since "have a workout routine" makes it clear that the emphasis is on the regularity of the exercise)
"you need to work out every now and then" (While "workout" is a noun, "work out" is a compound verb)

Both of the latter two ones are things native English speakers would say, but "you need to have a workout routine" is more what you'd hear as advice from a friend or health professional. Given Sunset's teasing tone, you want "work out every now and then" because the teasing implication is that Twilight is so out of shape that she's having trouble with the task.

I chuckled at burning her calories in the sun. Good enuf4me

So for the staff reactions I take former Sunset was still in Demon-mode personality wise, wonder how Celestia will react to the new and improved Sunset? :twilightsmile:

"Guess we're going to meet aunty soon..."

:rainbowlaugh:
Loved the story so far, great work.

6326029 Am working on it. Had a lot of distraction going on. Give me one to two days, three at most. So, now I put the pressure onto myself.

6326029 I'm honestly not happy with the outcome. At least next time will finally be interesting. *cough* flying *cough*

I can see why you have some issues with this. Only two things, well three things are different in this Equestria. Both Sunset and Twilight are alicorns and daughters to Celestia. The rest of the gang would be changed from that so Rainboom has happened and I would think Twilight still had a surge when that happened since even though filly alicorn she still has to learn magic. And Sunset KNOWS the Elements helped Luna from her original timeline.

It will still be interesting to see how Sunset and Twilight will interact in the Summer Sun Celebration.

P.S. Sunset. Enjoy the cakes. :twilightsmile:

6336182 Yeah. the greatest issue I have was, I had just no fun writing this chapter.
...
Did you hear something?

Did somepony say "no fun"? :pinkiecrazy:

Oh fuck, see ya around! Hopefully...

6336194 occasionaly you have a chapter that you need for plot reasons but not enjoy.

P.S. You can't outrun Pinkie.

I was half expecting Sunset confronting Celestia about what she knew about her timeline.

(To be honest, I've been expecting Sunset asking Celestia for help about the whole situation a long time ago.)

Interesting seeing the changes being a mother have done to Celestia way of thinking.
Good work.

6339690 The idea came from a fan made video, where Twilight was Celestia's daughter. One girl (I think) mentioned in the comments that no mother would ever risk the lives of her own children.

6340353 Very true, but that will mean quite some changes to how EVERYTHING will develop. :pinkiesmile:

6340359 Not to mention I have a little surprise prepared from the very beginning. I'm actually scared it will backfire.

6340488 If it backfires too badly just use the MLP God-EX-Machina to fix it, Pinkie Pie! :pinkiehappy:

6338999 Since when being in-character is no fun? :rainbowhuh: Sunset is supposed to be proactive and this fanfic doesn't have the [Random] tag or being used for the sake of a joke (the closest you could have to a proper justification).

Anyway, on the incoming Nightmare Moon incident: Celestia not wanting to risk her daughters to her sister makes sense[1]. Then again, I exect Sunset doing something about that too (as I said Sunset is supposed to be proactive).

[1] However Celestia claimed "Maybe I don't have to..." about that. Methinks Celestia is somewhat resigned to it and is only trying to prevent t+S from acting by Mom veto.

By the way, I'm left wondering if there's was any significant reason for moving the Summer Sun Celebration two weeks ahead of time. (Not fishing for answer on this one, for It seems to be a too specific to be a change just because, so I expect the reason being explained in the story later)

6344649 Ahead of time? I think you either misread or I wrote something stupid. The Summer Sun Celebration IS in two weeks in this story.

6346851

Celestia sighed. "Not now, sadly. It has to be in the evening. I decided to prepare everything for the Summer Sun Celebration today, so I can use the rest of the days until then to prepare...for her return." Celestia took in a deep breath and let it out slowly.

I interpreted the word "today" applied to "Summer Cun Celebration" instead of the preparations for it. That actually painted different picture of how Nightmare Moon's return would be.

6349697 Wrote something stupid.....
Gimme a minute....
Ah, yeah, now I get what I wrote. It was meant to say the preparation, akapaperwork would be done today.

Sunset sighed, thinking of the human world again. When she woke up today, she hoped it had all been just a dream, but as it turned out it wasn't, meaning her friends didn't remember her at all. Sure it was a good opportunity to start over and not be a bitch, but still, Sunset needed to find out what the hell was going on. Even if it meant that her friends were probably living a better life right now...

If you're writing about the Rainbooms, you're looking in the wrong world (Sunset has never been friends with the pony versions of Rarity, RD, etc.)
