Not long after the girls saved Camp Everfree and embraced their newfound magical abilities, Sunset Shimmer starts acting strangely. She jumps every time her friends get even remotely close to her and she keeps everyone at a distance. This is especially worrying to Twilight Sparkle, who seeks how to make her best friend feel better.

Sunny dreams, sweatybun!

Can't wait to read it!

That was adorable, but I'd really like to see a sequel to give some closure for Sunset.

Raw adorableness.

just took the wind from her sales?

sails

you're going to be early

She's also going to bed early.

This feels very strongly OOC on Sunset's part, and the fact that Twilight's entire argument is pointing out this fact doesn't help matters. Sunnybun was completely over it by the time of Friendship Games. There's an entire song about her very loudly putting it behind her and embracing the good person she's become.

Also also, she has spent way too long in the human world to still be occasionally slipping into using the word 'pony'.

I see I'm not the only one who thought of Poison Ivy.

Sweet dreams Sunnybun :twilightsmile:

heh, sweet dreams, sunnybun~

Sweet dreams, Sunnybun.

Wll this help me get better results?

Gah, dammit, Skirts! You keep selling me SciTwi, and I keep buying it. Curse you!

As Rogue can attest, powers that activate with a touch can kind of suck. Even without seeing buried resentment and loathing, Sunset would still perform the ultimate violation of privacy every time she came into contact with someone. It makes sense that she'd hesitate. The drama does feel somewhat manufactured—especially when the characters point that out—but the sincere character interaction is quite well done. Also, you perfectly captured Timber Spruce's blend of genuine niceness and horrible, desperate need to be liked.

In all, very sweet. Thank you for it. And sweet dreams, Sunnybun.

:raritystarry: Yeees, good !
Wait... This isn't a shipfic ?
Still a good story though.

Sweet Dreams, Sunnybun!

Sweet dreams, Sunnybun.
I hope you're able to overcome your struggles and I wish you all the best.

Sweet dreams, bunnysun.

Wonderful fic! Loved Timber Spruce (that waifu-stealing jerk!) and it's a treat to finally read a fic written from Sci Twi's pov.

Oh...sweet dreams, Sunnybun! :twilightsheepish:

sweet dreams sunnybun!!!

Sweet dreams Sunnybun. When I started reading, I was half expecting a Rogue analogue (seeing too many of other people's thoughts), but this is way sweeter. Even if it does go back to Sunset's lingering guilt, but Sci-Twi's in a unique position to help her on that. I do kind of wish Sunset had gotten a different power, but great story focusing on the implications of it. Though I would worry about not just intruding, but also seeing way too much weird stuff (Pinkie for instance), but guess that goes back to the Rogue idea.

Sweet shlorvaks to the bun made of sun.

(Everything's better in Starfire talk)

Sweet dreams, Sunnybun~

7604751 Wait...you're saying this ISN'T a shipfic?
...Did we read the same fic?

(it felt like the beginning of one, at least)

“I can't be happy,” I said. “Not while you're stuck in here with a cloud over your head.”

Jesus Christ, Twilight, yes you can.

In real life, when non-fantasy bullshit prompts someone to shut people out, nobody notices or cares. It's such a small change, and a change not worth addressing because that person's behavior and social life are their own damn business. The only reason this fanfic happens is because Sunset is a cartoon character who is absurdly explicit in how she advertises her discomfort, like putting gloves on and broadcasting her jarring shifts in attitude.

Your dreams are worthless, Sunnybun.

Sweet dreams, Sunnybun.

I think in the couple of minutes that existed on the front page of Derpibooru, it picked up around 30+ replies. Each and every one wishing her sweet dreams. (Amusingly, even higher than the number of likes.)

One editing note, not sure about the glue joke. Does Timber know Sunset is a magical talking horse? Does he think the rest of the girls are?

Sweet dreams, Sunnybun

What do magical unicorns dream of, when they take a little magical unicorn snooze~

i honestly thought that twilight was going to hug her to show the complete trust she had for sunset.

Sweet dreams, Sunnybun!:rainbowkiss:

Somehow it makes sense that it would fall to Twilight to remind Sunset that Friendship is Magic.
