After Twilight Sparkle reopens her School of Friendship she decides, as an act of diplomacy, to hold another Friends and Family Day to prove her school is different this time. Almost everyone agrees that this is was a good call and has a good time, but one earth pony refuses to and it's up to his griffon friend to try and change that.
This is a Season 8 story, based on only the first two episodes. Which means I'll probably have to mark this under Alternate Universe eventually.

Sweet af.
YAAAAY SHIPPING!!! i love the pairing of gallus and sandbar! but a few words i have to say to gallus are as follows "gallus.. remember this day... this is when the rest of your life changes... i advise you return the feelings sandbar sends to you, he loves you..." and might i say FINALLY A GALLUSBAR FANFIC! I NEED MORE!! please make more to this story like their love developing further to where it can no longer fit the "simple friendship" category where they then qualify as lovers
Let the shipping begin!
Cute short story.

And eventually bedmates(cuddling at night) and then most likely way later ACTUAL mates and you know EXACTLY what i mean by that although i wonder how headmare twilight would react if she found out they had become the highest tier of lovers and i wonder how their friends would react

Yes, him. The King of Gay Comedy.
This whole darn thing was really cute.
Ocellus is MVC, and the line about ‘heck’ and ‘frick’ being swears was great.
I am loving this! You're really incorporating their upbringings and experiences into their personalities, leading to some phenomenal characterization! Kudos!
... this ship i like it

Now this is a freaking good story with an overload of cuteness.
You’ve set the scene quite well! It’s very easy to imagine how you’ve written it all out, and I do like the idea, despite how saddening it is, that Sandbar hadn’t his parents around much, if at all, when he was a foal (though hopefully not that small of a foal!). Lots of characters don’t get happy beginnings, as we saw with others (Starlight), so it’s really awesome seeing this again featured in one of the Young 6, who we still haven’t much a clue over! ^^ So thanks so much for writing this!
And I LOVE Gallus x Sandbar! YAS! A treasure, this piece! It’s not blown out of proportions, sticks true to how we saw the characters, and is really overall laid out well! So double-score!

Haaaaaa nice referance. Love that vine
This seems fast on Sandbar's part, given that he's known Gallus for, what, less than a week? Not an inherent problem, there's just a big part of me that wants the story to be more drawn out given that the two haven't gone on a single date yet. I.e., write more! Expand on this!
Also the small douche part of me wants to say something, but I want to qualify it first - if the above wasn't proof enough - that I've got no issues whatsoever with gay relationships.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Sorry, I just feel like someone had to do that.
Other gay ships I've supported include Daisuke/Ken from Digimon Zero-Two (which makes the canon ending of it piss me off on two fronts, since I also shipped Hikari with Takeru, so the canonical Daisuke/Hikari ending is doubly disappointing), and of course Shinji and Kaworu from Evangelion.
Also while I don't support Naruto/Sasuke and am quite happy with Naruto ending up with Hinata, I do feel like a lot of their problems could have been solved if Naruto and Sasuke had just banged each other at some point.

Maybe some day.
Come again?
I really want u to continue this, you have massive support aswell! Keep up the good work!
I also agree, would be nice to see more of this

Luckily, there's already two sequels to consume if you really would like more.
What made you think this kind of language is acceptable?
that is funny considering all that was on a literal show cleared as being suitable for children!
hehe, good start to passing herself off as Gallus
oh my Celestia they were roommates
two for two on obvious mysteries for Gallus
huh, is Sandbar from the pony equivalent of LA? that does make sense
that uh, must have been incredibly awkward!
hoowee, thought this was gonna be a slower burn but that is quite the accelerant! and very sweet, glad all that blushing wasn’t for nothing
ehehe! very cute start to what feels like the first chapter of a slow burn! though i’m guessing that Gallus will take a while longer to figure out what Sandbar blushing and kissing him on the equivalent of lips could possibly mean
