After the fireworks are over at the Friendship Festival, Pinkie Pie arranges for Fizzlepop Berrytwist (until recently known as Tempest Shadow) to meet with her fillyhood friends. Fizzlepop has misgivings, but Spring Rain and Glitter Drops have good news to share... After they've cleared the air a bit.

I think it was ok. If anything, I bet this was going to happen after the events of the movie anway; but it would take longer to find Tempest's old friends.

Yes and I DID consider setting it a few days later, but then I realized everyone was already at the festival, and Pinkie Pie. Just Pinkie Pie. :P

My goal was to produce something 'original flavor', as I've heard said. In other words, something that makes you go "I bet this was going to happen anyway". :P So mission accomplished on that front, at least.

I liked it but things felt too easy in my opinion. It would've been nice to see Fizzle Pop struggle a little so we feel that she's earned her horn back. I don't know just a suggestion. nicely written otherwise.

Hmmm... I had considered writing more on this thread. You'll note I left a little wiggle room: she doesn't have her horn back at the end, and the treatment is still experimental. No promises, but if I can come up with a good idea on how it could feel earned, I'll write a sequel.

I feel like the historical development of prosthetics could provide a pretty fertile ground for the story. Sort of pony Harold Gillies.
