As they prepared for their next outing, The Turner parents asked their essential questions so that he knew how to stay safe in their absence.
"What do you when the zoning board asks about the addition to the garage?"
"Lie."
"And if the gardener asks for her pay?"
"Threaten to call immigration."
"And what are Child Services."
"Evil"
"Good," Mr. Turner said with a smile. Just then, a knock was heard on the door. Mrs. Turner opened it and saw Sunset standing at the door patiently. The former unicorn saw Timmy's parents dressed in tourist attire while wearing several cameras.
"Sunset," Mrs. Turner greeted the fire-haired girl, gesturing her to come inside, "Thanks for taking Timmy off our hands for a whole week."
The Canterlot teenager looked at Mrs. Turner with confusion and suspicion. "I thought he would stay at my place for three days-"
"No take-backsies," Mr. Turner interrupted quickly before throwing Timmy at Sunset like a hot potato. The two parents started to run out of the house, only for Sunset to block them.
"Isn't there something you are forgetting," Sunset said with strained patience while gesturing to the small ten-year-old boy still standing in the living room. "The most important thing in your lives."
A sheepish smile appeared on Mrs. Turner's face as she looked in Timmy's direction. "Why Sunset, you're right. It was foolish to have forgotten the most important thing in my life." Sunset smiled proudly when she saw Mrs. Turner about to give her son a pat on the head.
Only for her hand to reach behind Timmy and toward a nightstand behind him and grab a pair of keys.
"My keys!" Mrs. Turner chirped happily. "I can't think of anything more dear to me than them." She said, seemingly ignorant of her son's presence, before running out of the house, much to Sunset's dismay. The high school student looked at Mr. Turner with a pleading expression.
"Isn't there something you want to tell your son, Mr. Turner?" Sunset asked, almost gritting her teeth. "Something that starts with 'I' and ends with 'love you'."
Mr. Turner stared blankly at Sunset before the realization came to him. "You're right, Sunset." He turned his attention to his only son. "Timmy, I love you..." Sunset smiled warmly, expecting a heartwarming moment between father and son.
Only for Mr. Turner to throw many cleaning supplies at the buck-toothed boy. "I'd love you...to clean the toilets, son." Before Sunset could respond, Mr. Turner left the house with a short goodbye. "Watching our son for free and giving me a phonics lesson," Mr. Turner gushed as he entered the driver's seat of his car, impressed with Sunset's skillset. "What a good egg."
Had Mr. Turner been paying attention, he would have seen Sunset glaring at the Turner parents, clenching her fists and shaking. "Uhh, Sunset," Timmy said uneasily, noticing his potential babysitter's rage. "Are you OK?"
"Am I OK!?" Sunset asked incredulously, turning back to her charge. "How can I be OK when they treat you like that!?"
"Like what?" Timmy asked. Sunset was shocked by how nonchalantly the brown-haired boy phrased the question. Did his parents ditch him so often that he wasn't at all phased by it anymore? Was his parents not being there the only thing he could count on nowadays?
"Nothing," Sunset said solemnly, deciding that talking to Timmy about his less-than-ideal parental relationships when he already had enough problems wasn't the wisest decision, "let's just...go."
wonder what this will be called?
Yeahhhh,this makes you understand why Timmy has fairies.
I know that Sunset wants Timmy to be happy but if Timmy becomes truly happy, Cosmo and Wanda will have to leave
I can only say one thing
Welp, Timmy may or may not lose his fairies, but sunsets will know and be there, so it may be not bad, except for us, we won't have more stories if that happens, so I still want Timmy miserable XD.

Author in notes said it was called "Equestria Girls: Journey to the Mind of Timmy Turner"
I thought me helping you was useful, Red.
11695518
.............. this will be something to watch for.
A sad but accurate showing of how horrible the Turner parents can be especially Mr Turner
11695537
I'm sorry. You were helpful.
I am taking shots at my own laziness.
If you were offended, I apologize.
11695576
It's okay. I thought maybe the Fluttershy One-shot would have bought you some time
YES! Sequel Time! Sequel Time!
More time with Big Sis Sunset and her little brother Timmy!
11695479
https://m.You beat me to it so sadly all I can say is...
YES! SO MUCH YES!
I will be watching for this new story...
and yep this sounds right for the Turners.
I'm looking foward to the squeal. But please take all the time you need.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'm so glad that you are back dude. I can't wait to read the sequel after waiting 10 chapters in one go. XD
Also, I saw the preview. It's a good start; we see the Turner's neglect, and Timmy has become used to it. In the show, it was played for laughs and was an important part because Timmy needed fairy godparents and his parents not to be around, but it was depressing here.
I'm not trying to justify the neglect, but you showed through Sunset how bad it is.
I have a question: did you rewatch a few scenes from the show before writing that scene? I remember a few scenes from the show of the turners blowing off Timmy that reminded me of the show, but at the same time, this feels so much worse than from the show. What is that? Where are you going for in this scene?
I am so glad that there is going to be sequel. I loved this story, and It seemed like it just ended without wrapping up some things. Now that I know a sequel is coming, I'm a lot more satisfied with how it ended.
Well, it was funny to remember, when the sequel is up maybe you can tell everyone
11697220
As someone who wanted to write an FOP story with a touch more pathos, I am glad my story brought out such emotions.
Thank you for the follow!
11697248
I wonder if Discord or Cosmos will appear in the sequel ? I also wonder what Sunset's reaction would be if Timmy told them that he ruined Crocker's childhood and that his obsession was his fault?
11697248
Hey, can you make a crossover reboot version of The Fairly Oddparents and Equestria Girls, and include some new characters, namely Chloe Carmichael and Ivan Prestonovich?
So, will the Rainbooms find out about Crocker's backstory at any point? Like if they do find out that he lost his fairies and became the fairy obsessed lunatic he is thanks to Timmy and Cosmo (Cosmo did turn the microphones on and foolishly demonstrate magic in front of a large crowd), will they feel bad for him, let alone try to redeem him (like they do for a lot of the villains)?
Pretty good sneak peek, welcome back after the big hiatus for the story.
Pretty sad how Timmy's parents are so neglectful that Timmy is pretty numb to it by now (which Sunset, who isn't as used to the crapsack life Timmy has, is baffled by).
Really looking forward to Equestria Girls: Journey to the Mind of Timmy Turner (the one you said would have Timmy visit Equestria). For the sequel having Timmy visit Equestria, will the other five Rainbooms go with Timmy and Sunset to Eqeustria (meaning Spring Breakdown isn't the first time they go to Equestria)?

The answer to your deep and burning questions is:
Red Herring
11695935
I never really rewatched anything.
There were a lot of scenes like this in the original show. I'm just showing what those scenes are like when looked at through a tragic, non-ironic lens.
So, does that imply Moondancer is an orphan who lost her parents at a young age? Kinda wonder how the authorities didn't get suspiscious of her living alone (assuming she didn't get some shady identification stuff like Sunset did).
11704751
She more speaking about being alone in friendship.
Remember, she holds a grudge against Sunset at this juncture and, when you're angry with someone, you tend to exaggerate your words.
11695472
Wait wait wait wait that's not the rule I think 🤔 the rule is if Timmy doesn't need them anymore then they'll have to go because I'm pretty sure Timmy is happy with Cosmo and Wanda
Is it weird that I want to see what would happen if Timmy gets his hand on a symbiote
11707165
That's true but giving how Sunset and her friends are making his life better, Cosmo and Wanda will have to leave since fairies are assign to God kids when they're miserable and unhappy. I mean answer me this question, when is the magic of friendship cause unhappiness and misery to anyone that isn't a villain or naturally evil?
11707196
Yeah that's true but with how many magical enemies Timmy has he would technically still need them I know I'm grasping at straws here I just don't want them to leave the kid it would be too sad heck as far as I'm concerned Cosmo and Wand are his actual parents
11707196
Hey question am I the only one who thinks if Timmy didn't get Cosmo and Wanda he would have ended up a villain
So what's happening with your sequel now? I'm not rushing, just genuinely curious.

WIP, with some chapters nearing completion.

From what Meghan McCarthy (writer for the first two Equestria Girls movies and co-showrunner of Friendship is Magic from season 2 to mid-season 5) said on why Spike's a dog, she said it was because it'd be weird for Twilight to hide a small human boy in her backpack and wanting to show dragons through portals isn't the same result as ponies.
Out of curiosity, will there be some exploring of Sunset's backstory, potentially showing what led to her becoming a mean and evil bully in the first movie (even the Fall of Sunset Shimmer comic hardly explains much since she's already ruder than episode 1 Twilight to everyone and it only really showed how she found out about the mirror and the human world)?
Heck, will Sunset's parents get touched upon? The flashback of Celestia singing a lullaby to Sunset in the story does indicate Celestia may have filled a parental role in Sunset's life when she was younger so it does make me wonder how or if Sunset's life before she saw the mirror will be touched on?
11714255
Spoilers.
11714408
Damn, so that essentially means yes without spoiling anything so far.
Out of curiosity, will any inspiration be used from how you showed Sunset's life before the mirror in Sunset's Steps (which you referred to in Vanishing Act) where she's already a brat? I'm guessing it'll be a bit different in this story (Especially with the flashback of her and Celestia showing Sunset wasn't always so mean and used to have a better relationship with Celestia before whatever event led her to become the way she was in the first film).
10520525
Do you think fans sometimes tend to do the same with Discord and Starlight (among the major redemptions) in terms of also sometimes not always acknowledging their more nastier actions like you mention happens for Sunset? Sure Starlight's got slightly more detractors but there's still more willing to defend her than say Gilda and Lightning Dust even though one could argue Starlight and Discord's worst actions (enslaving a town and taking away everyone's cutie marks and trying to tamper with time for Starlight and straight up turning Equestria into a chaotic playground and brainwashing the Mane 6 into going against their elements for Discord) are worse than anything Gilda and Lightning Dust ever did?
11714490
I try not to dwell on it too much, but yes I feel too many bad guys get stuffed into leather pants.
11714576
Yeah, true. Do you think it's a thing with a lot of redemptions even outside MLP? Like with Zuko on Avatar (aka considered to set a high bar for redemptions), Sasha and Grime on Amphibia, Amity, Lilith, and Hunter on Owl House, Pacifica on Gravity Falls, Catra on She Ra 2018, and Peridot and Lapis on Steven Universe, do you think they get stuffed into leather pants a bit too often?
11714582
Ehh...
I won't go crazy about it, but sometimes we romanticize things we ought not too.
10415133
Admittedly on why they made Spike a dog on Equestria Girls, Meghan McCarthy (writer for the first two Equestria Girls movies and co-showrunner of Friendship is Magic from season 2 to mid-season 5) said it was because it'd be weird for Twilight to hide a small human boy in her backpack and wanting to show dragons through portals isn't the same result as ponies.
And I do get the feeling they probably hadn't outright figured out how to define Twilight and Spike's relationship yet (it's telling it took until season 9 for them refer to Twilight and Spike as siblings in Sparkle's Seven) at the time between mother/son (which was a pretty popular interpretation and still remains one to this day), older sister/little brother, or some third thing so making Spike a dog may have been a way of not having to awkwardly answer that at the time.
And there would've also been the weird implications of a young boy hanging out with a bunch of older female teenagers that probably would've come up with making Spike a human (unless he'd be in the territory of having a smaller role than his Equestria counterpart and not appearing on a 24/7 basis, considering canon already had him sorta lose relevancy after Legend of Everfree).
Out of curiosity, what's the Vicky backstory you're going with on why she's so icky with a V?
Even in seasons 1-5, Vicky never really had a consistent reason on why she was so mean with at least three different backstories given:
* Had a rough childhood in Snow Bored (which does tie in with The Switch Glitch showing she was a nicer person when she was 5 before Timmy tormented her)
* Has an evil bug up her butt in Vicky Loses Her Icky
* Was born evil as shown in her baby picture in Channel Chasers
11718025
Not saying.
But not a cliche one either.
This series is AWESOME, but honestly i was a little unsettled on how everyone at Canterlot High was smiling wickedly when they were beating up the Dazzlings. Did they deserve it? Absolutely, but it would have felt more satisfying if the heroes were all glaring and roaring in primal anger. For example when sonata was pleading that she didn’t deserve to get beat up because she was the “cute and adorable one” Pinkie and everyone holding her down would be like “ Really? REALLY?!” Before an unimpressed and glaring pinkie would be like “ well then say hello to my little Friend” before pulling a baseball bat out of her hair and striking her with an enraged primal war cry.
Timmy: so i may have magic
Sunset: so? I was a unicorn
So given this story outright confirms Sunset is 17 (and going with the show's implication on time passing differently between worlds on why she's still a teenager), how old do you think pony Twilight is?
