I attempt to entertain with my amateur stories. I also think I sort of know what makes a story good and try to help others if I can.

After the Friendship Games, Sunset looks back at her time as a human. She also starts to think about both the past and her future. She isn't happy with what she finds. She has several feelings buried and hidden away and she doesn't want many people finding out about them. She decides Princess Twilight Sparkle (a.k.a. "The Real Twilight") is the only one who can help her. Sunset really hopes there won't be any time loop problems that keep her best and most important friend away this time.

This story takes place after Friendship games and so it does contain spoilers for the movie. It also talks about the events of the IDW comic "Equestria Girls Holiday Special". You have been given notice.

Never really did like the ending to the comic. Too much unresolved issues.

6539576 I agree with you on that. I enjoyed the part where they were having fun at Rarity's and the party before that, but the rest of it was pretty messy.

I thought this was just a one shot, and then I saw it was incomplete, and I squealed inside, I really like this and want to see more!

6540615 It isn't a one shot, but it is still short. I am going to post the final chapter today. I was going to have it be a long one shot, but I felt it got to be too long and the second half was very different from the first half and I felt the two should be separated from one another. Hopefully the ending will be decent enough.

hermoso. donde esta tu verdadero hogar

That is such a sweet and sad story. Just the way Sunset and Twilight was talking to each other made me want to say "Kiss already". Sounds a little pessimistic but I can't wait to read more.

That was such a sweet ending. I'm glad Sunset was happy in the end. I'd love to see more stories like this between Pony Twilight and Sunset.

6541815 I'm glad you liked it. I'm sure there are similar stories out there somewhere. You just have to find them, but they can be hard to find because it seems like most stories with Sunset leave her in the human world.

6541843 That's very true but from what I heard there were a few deleted scenes based on that theory on the Friendship Games DVD/Blu-Ray. At least I think there is.

6541850 There are, which is why I pointed out this story ignores those, since they are "deleted scenes" they don't really count. I do think they should have kept them in the movie though. They had a secondary plot where Sunset is homesick and eventually decides to stay in the human world, but there is evidence to support she will at least be making trips back and forth to visit with Twilight. Also Sci-Twi instead decides to stay at Crystal Prep to learn about friendship and the Shadowbolts actually seem less antagonistic over all.

6541878 Wow. It seems like an interesting idea but in hindsight it wasn't worth it.

Meanwhile back in human world human sunset showed up and... but seriously.. it was ok..

6551256 Glad it was okay. As far as human Sunset is concerned, we really don't know anything about her. There are fandom theories, but those aren't really official. I see it as she doesn't live in Canterlot City and hasn't for a long time. Maybe we will find out about her in the fourth Equestria Girls movie.

6551337 You're welcome.... Didn't think you'd respond to that little joke of mine about Human Sunset but since you did say something ..

For me the real question is will they make a fourth one and while I personally do not mind seeing a fourth one being made... The fact they finished the arc may cause them to not make a fourth and the mixed reaction to the third one isn't helping the case for a fourth movie.. Personally I loved it for what it is.. A good enough movie with a few good catchy songs . Oh well.. Only time will tell if number four will come or maybe they will make T.V. or a website series that a few fans have been begging for.. Even a short one would help answer all those pesky questions.. Don't trust the comic book industry to get anything right anymore.. Too many mistakes made to ignore them anymore.. :pinkiesick: But maybe we will be surprised.. Naw.. They'll never be as good as a T.V. or webseries.. :rainbowwild:

On the plus side the first real MLP-FiM movie is in the works from what I understand.. But 2017 never seem to be so far away and/or the movie...:pinkiesad2:

6560239 I usually respond to comments on my stories, because I am like that. I only ignore people that are being very rude and sarcastic usually. If someone does say why they don't like it and aren't raging I will at least thank them for reading part of the story at least. I liked Friendship Games, but for some reason I still like Rainbow Rocks more.

To answer your question about a fourth Equestria Girls movie here is a link: around 18 min.

6560423 Yeah rainbow rocks was better.. Thanks for the link.. Now I can look forward to the next movie in the knowledge that it will happen sooner or later but suspect they'll take more time.. I hear ya about not responding to the haters.. :pinkiehappy:

Yes, the ending was good. Also, I feel like saying, if you ever feel like making a sequel, I'll be sure to read it.

6599268 Not really something I have planned or thought much about. I have too many other stories on my plate and I have been focusing on one more than the others a good bit. I am glad you enjoyed and thought it was good. :twilightsmile:

6599563
I figured you didn't have it planed. I mainly just posted that comment to let you know that if, sometime in the future when you don't have other stories to work on, you decide you want to write a sequel to this story, the effort would be appreciated. That is if, and only if, that time ever comes.

You probably already know everything I said in this comment as something that is obvious, I just thought I'd say it anyway.

6599619 Nothing wrong with further explaining a comment even if you think others would see it as obvious.

6599629
Thanks. I'm not very confident when "putting myself into a comment". Being emotionally detached and keeping it short and to the point while trying to remain positive, I'm good. Putting emotion into it and speaking from the heart, no way. I keep thinking I'm going to upset someone unintentionally, and that is the last thing I want to do.
Sorry I'm unloading all this on you. Thanks for listening though.

I really enjoyed reading your story! The relationship you've established between Sunset and Princess Twilight was really great and felt very realistic. I also like how you included the ending of the Holiday Special and even made it a major plot point, great job!
I have to complain about the style, grammar, syntax and the like, though - there were some pretty rotten sentence structures that really threw me out of the flow while reading. Maybe you should have asked a proof-reader for help beforehand.

What I just realised - this story was released the same day as mine, and there are quite some similarities. Great mind think alike, eh? :twilightsheepish:

6658134 I am glad you enjoyed the story and how I set up Twilight's and Sunset's relationship with each other.

I know grammar and such is something I need to work on, but I also did kind of just put this story out there. I probably should have read over it another time or two, but I really had to just write the story and get it done with. I was close to making it in to something much longer than it was and I have too many longer stories that I never really finish.

As for proofreaders, I have tried that before and while it did help a little it also kind of got to me because I am not exactly the most patient for such a thing or I try to be too patient. My schedule when writing stories is bad enough as it is. I just don't want to have to work around someone else's as well. I feel like pressuring them would be asking too much from them, but if I just leave it alone it could end up being a month or more before they get to it.

Sunset's levels of insecurity remind me of someone I know in real life... which probably means you have written her well.

Some minor mistakes, mostly punctuation, but this is a substantial improvement over your old works.

(where is a Ms Harshwhinny emoticon when you need one?)

Hmm, Despite the title, the chapter tells us next to nothing about the graduation itself :trollestia:

You know I'm not a big fan of "character reminescing of what has happened" scenes, but you seem to have gotten better at that too.

Another story I've read many times because it is well done.
Aside saying I loved it and got everything to be a favourite, that's all ^^.
