'Ello stranger. Welcome to my little cave. Boy, do I have a story to tell you...
When little filly Sunset Shimmer dresses as a Royal Guard for Nightmare Night, Princess Celestia gets the great idea to make Sunset her little guard for the night. Ain't nothing getting past this little filly!
I was given the inspiration for this story from a line from this story by TheNewYorkBrony.

You get a like and fave for the idea, and, once I read it, a follow.
Absolutely adorable.
Sunset is a weird character for fans.
That will change ...
When I read the description my first thought was this was going to be stupidly adorable. It has surpassed that and achieved violently adorable.
Filly Sunset is so cute!
Yikes! I never realised this would do so well! Thanks, everybody!
I think you put the wrong word right here.
Still, it's a great story. Thank you for writing and sharing it.

Thank you! For both the correction and your very kind words.
Holy Guacamole! 1000 views!
The story would have been a different kind of funny if the the guards took this route when Sunset was playing with them:

So, is neither Princess Celestia, or Mayor Mare going to say anything about sunset stealing government/military property, and likely screwed over some poor soldier?
No?
Okay.
One of these situations is playing out in the castle barracks while Sunset has that armor:
1) Some poor junior enlisted is getting ripped into by a sergeant about gear accountability, while the poor bastard is replaying in his head the last time he set down his armor.
2) Some enlisted guy is confused, panicking, and frantically looking for his armor, because he's on duty in like 30 minutes.
3) Heated argument or brawl has broken out, because the stallion that's missing his armor is accusing others of stealing his armor.
4) Some officer is grilling all of the enlisted that are off duty, since he thinks that one of them stole his armor.
Boring) A soldier is peacefully sleeping the night away in his bunk, blissfully unaware that he got robbed by a 5-year old in his sleep.

Prophetic.
See Sunset, this is one of the many reasons you didn't become the Element of Magic/friendship.
You didn't pay attention to Celestia, you were not diplomatic, and you robbed some poor soldier.

All in all, a fun fic!
I can't help but wonder what poor unicorn is now trying to hide the fact they've lost their armour - and how they'll end up trying to explain it being filly sized when it turns back up again. Especially if they're one of the less bright ones, who then might have to explain that they definitely did NOT put it in the wash on the wrong settings again (this time)...
Good to see that Sunset Shimmer's tendency to overdo things she gets into started young. Definitely won't come back to bite Celestia that she didn't try tempering it better after this occasion, nope nope...
That being said, tiny overenthusiastic unicorn Royal Guard was best Royal Guard, even if just for the night. <3
Well shoot, whose armor did she take? Or did she do something even more interesting and use a duplication spell? I almost would prefer that, if only so no one else is getting in trouble.
This was really cute and sweet. I do love me a Sunset and seeing her as a cute filly that makes the occasional mistake because she gets too into her role... it feels very identifiable. I think we've all had a moment like this, where we got just a little bit too into something and accidentally upset other people in the process.
There's also a few bits here and there that feel just slightly prophetic of the future to come... Sunset's harshness towards the other filly, the fact that she was learning spells without telling Celestia... she definitely isn't quite all the way there yet to being the self-absorbed power hungry jerk she became canonically, but she's on the path towards it. Maybe if we're lucky this takes place in an alternate universe where she can be shifted away from said path.
Regardless, I quite enjoyed this. Nicely done.
whoa, burn on the rest of those guards!
i was going to call this as Sweetie Drops/Bon Bon, but the black-and-pink mane threw me off. then i guessed that the dark blue was interpreted as black maybe? in any case, yay, filly Bon Bon!
very cute! and i guess Sunset and Bon Bon having been foalhood friends with no further reference or explanation fits perfectly as a counterpart to Twilight's friendship to Lyra! in any case, a really sweet exploration of Sunset's foalhood, long before things went wrong. thanks for it!
Pft.
Cute Sunset stories are always a win in my book. I mean, who's gonna resist that much cuteness and amazingness? I can't help but wonder if I should write an AU where Sunset becomes a Royal Guard....
Focus, Sin, focus. Sunset's attitude really stems from her youth, doesn't it? Sometimes I do think that she was born this way, and Eqg was the turning point for her reformation.
All in all, a really nice story that I liked. Keep on making these kinda content!
edit: yes.
Howdy, Hi!
This was super adorable. I loved tiny Sunset with Celestia. A really good fluff piece with heartwarming moments. This also makes me want to see a fic where sunset actually takes the path of becoming a guard with the aim to become the Captain.
Thank you for the read~!
