I'm a go playing brony who reads and writes fan fiction works. That's about all you need to know.

Twilight thought that her new studies at CHS would be easy compared to more rigorous things like science and mathematics. Instead, she keeps coming up short. Her mind unsettled. Unable to accept simple things. Before she gives up entirely, Sunset steps in and offers Twilight the understanding she's been looking for.

Jeez, this kicked me right in the feels. Well done.:pinkiesad2:

Poor Twi. She doesn't deserve this.

peoples' friend?

*people's

I feel personally attacked by this story. Everything Twilight is saying/thinking here is me at my most socially awkward, obtuse, "why don't people just act like they're SUPPOSED to I don't understand anything" attitude.

And then Sunset comes in and is exactly the friend Twilight needs:

"I'm sorry. My complaining about not understanding humanity must seem pretty stupid, huh? I mean, you're literally from another universe. What right do I have to complain?"

"It's not stupid in the slightest." Sunset reached out her hand and grabbed one of Twilight's, giving it a gentle squeeze while smiling. "And I want to hear all about it."

Well done.

You write such a wonderful Sunset :pinkiesad2: I really enjoyed this short and sweet story - you really nailed the interactions between the two characters

Fantastic! You captured them quite well.

Just like her friends' would.

Why is there an apostrophe there? :trixieshiftleft:


This was nice. Twilight's perspective in the narration was especially neat, and Sunset's characterization was excellent.

It is referring to her friends' pain. To show possession for a plural that ends in s, you simply add an apostrophe.

She didn't yet feel the pain, but she knew it would come in time. Just like her friends' [pain] would.

I'm glad you enjoyed the story! :twilightsmile: Those were the elements I worked the most on for this one, so I'm happy that you liked them.

See, when I read that part, I read it as "Just like her friends would come in time."

So the solution might just be to clear up what exactly you're referring to.

On the bright side, this does mean you know how to make a plural word possessive. I don't like that that feels like a victory. It should be easy :trixieshiftleft:

I had not considered that interpretation. I have updated the line. Thanks for the input!
