Sunset is bored. Discord is bored. What better way to solve their problems than a wacky time travel adventure? A trip to a strange and mysterious era, where nothing makes sense, and everything Sunset knows about the world is called into question.
The Nineteen-Eighties.
Shenanigans ensue!
This definitely looks snazzy.
Delightfully dumb.
I really need to find the time to get back in the Writeoffs, especially if this sort of glorious madness is going on. Thank you for one heck of a ride.
Ah, shit; story just made me realize I'm old enough to be Twilight's dad,

8102027 I thought you were twilight's dad...?
Discord? Sunset Shimmer? The best decade EVER? Back To The Future?!
Who could possibly resist?
This was great. And that ending !
I'd say you'd beter prepare for a place in the Featured section.
8102040
A lot of people make that mistake. It's the hair and eyepatch, isn't it?
8102077 totally
8102027 I was thinking the same thing.
The Eighties were glorious.
This was a wonderful read. You captured my interest in the first paragraph, and then kept me hooked for the rest of the ride.
Really love the way you captured Discord here, too. Mania, with the perfect amount of references and strangeness to go with it.
Hope to see more like this in the future!
Wait... which one kisses better than Sunset... her mom or her grandmother?
This was cute and funny with just a pinch of sexy. Excellent fic.
Did you just take one of my favorite movies, add Best Human and Discord, and make lots of lesbian and Sunset jokes?
I love you.
I have no way to be sure, but this is probably a reference to another, much better and sexier story than this one, which hasn't been published yet. So I should probably get on that, huh?
Anyway, I'll read this in a little while.
I was almost hoping Sunset would end up in some weird new present where Twilight didn't exist or something and then she'd have to go back a few more times to fix things. Great story, who cares about paradoxes or whatever, Sunset and Discord are bored and the sky is the limit. At least Velvet approves of Sunset... maybe a bit too much. Does Twilight Sparkle now have competition for Sunset? Well, Sunset is really lovable.
What I'm wondering is why no one has yet to mention the "Rick and Morty" reference?
that end ingwas hilarious!
8102487
It really does sound like a reference to a certain unpublished story, doesn't it?
Anyway, in regards to this story, I loved it.
Discord and Sunset make a great time-travelling team! Thank you for another fantastic story!
Up next on "Literally Everyone Loves Sunset Shimmer"
With a question like "Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?", was expecting some REALLY bad stuff to happen. Happy that I was wrong.
Was thinking of Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time, Girls Just Want To Have Fun and The Goonies 'R' Good Enough while reading this. Not most relevant eighties songs for this story but they were the first that came into my head. Also her voice and clothes were awesome at the time.
vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/marvelcinematicuniverse/images/a/a7/Cosmo_Museum_2.png/revision/latest?cb=20141127010332
That CAN'T just be a coincidence.
Either the neon's not working on the C or you forgot a letter.
Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?
No? Well.... Have some anyways!
Her first encounter with Velvet reminds me of the title of "How I met your Mother."
Could be worse, Sunny. He could've shown up wreathed in flames and announcing himself as the Voice of the One True God.
Sunset's gonna be more than Discord can handle here, isn't she? This pleases me.
"Cosmo misses old life on empty station..."
One glance inside Pinkie Pie's mind and nothing fazes Sunset anymore.
Aww, no DeLorean?
I laughed way too hard at this.
Wow, Snails' dad is a jerk. Or is this Snips' dad? Because the physical description and personality seem more evocative of Snips than Snails...
And thus, Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkle ceased to exist, because Sunset turned Twilight Velvet gay. Too bad, so sad!
I KNOW, RIGHT? Thank GOD the 90s came along and slapped some sense into all of us! :runs fingers through his long, bleached-blond hair, smooths out his flannel shirt, and adds another rip to his faded jeans:
NO SHIT, REALLY, DO YOU THINK.
The irony is that in the 80s they thought we'd be doing THAT to the 80s in the 2010s...but most of our retro diners are still 50s-themed!!
Ten bits says he's NOT talking about Vel.
NAILED IT!
That's about a 9.9 on her Oh-Shit-O-Meter right there.
That's because Vel wanted to be out of that situation, you bacon-brain!
Oh my god that is the WORST PLAN EVER. That's worse than 99% of Twilight's plans!!
Yeah the Want-It Need-It Spell was NOT the solution to this problem.
(Also, note the punctuation error there. There are a few others, but I'm not gonna go through this with a comb or anything. Just give it a second lookover.)
Discord...just magicked up a whole fake reality to troll Sunset, didn't he?
He...did not.
8102874 Given the fact that there's a space there where the C should be, I'm pretty sure it's the sign that's not working right.
Perfect
Great story! I really enjoyed it, considering the fact that I like both the 80s, and the BTTF franchise.
Now I want to hear a cover of Sunset singing "The Power Of Love".
8103380
"Or you'll do what, exactly? Hit me with that fffish?"
I love how Sunset is just all "OK, Discord's here, let's go." No posturing heroics or anything like that, just ADVENTURE! Nicely done.
Oh god, my sides. Poor Sunset. Why do I suddenly have thoughts of Velvet and Nightlight inviting Sunset over for a night in once she is of age?
8103380
You kinda missed that one. That's a portal gun. From the Portal series.
If the universe doesnt care that youre your own grandmother?
Professor Fansworth, is that you?
Aint it great, that 88 mph looks just like a pair of infinity symbols standing up like druidic stones, ready to frame the rising sun?
Why did Velvet fall for Nightlight?.. Becase Sonata taught him everything he needed to know about pleasuring a woman?
Aww, I missed getting the screen grab. When I found this story, it had 88 Thumbs Up.
8104297 I got the reference. But given the story's title, I expected a DeLorean.
Surprised to see something by Oroboro! Love his work but thought he was done after his amazing Sunset week. So seeing this makes me so happy to see he's back!
I would love an Epilogue chapter with Velvet's Explanation lol
8102106 I am proud to say I was an 80s child and i miss them greatly
This NEEDS an epilogue.
8105040 Or a story about Velvet's time traveling adventure, that she not so discreetly said she had been on
sonata is like a pseudo aunt for twilight to me now.
But good god. I couldn't get the idiotic smile off of my face as I read this.
Just enough references to keep it grounded, more twists than making Taffy and meta with keeping sunset in character.
And this made my day.
8103380 It's possible, but I didn't see enough indication.
Look on the bright side Sunset. You could have made it even more awkward by sleeping with the both of them.
just this idea is cool. To be read later.
"My mother is a horse."
An amusing read in the Writeoff, and it's good to see this migrate over and take its place in the Featurebox. Can definitely see the new polish around the edges.
8105040 I second this notion! This fanfic was far too amazingly insane to be left with just ONE chapter of ONE story!! T_T
