Every action taken is like dropping a pebble in a pond, creating ripples that extend ever outward. Every choice has consequences, good and bad... Putting on a Crown may have changed Sunset Shimmer's life...but it also Changed two worlds...

Yeah, was waiting to see if that slipped out.
C'mon Sunny, you can only have so many near misses before one lands.
This was a fun little side trip. Cadance, Shining & Luna shenanigans sound like they'd be all sorts of zany fun.

To be fair, even if she heard her called "Twilight" she might not make the immediate connection. I mean, in the real world, people often have similar names. Like good ol' John Smith in the phone book, as it were. Shit, when I was in high school my group of friends had 10 different girls in it with the first name "Jennifer." After about the fourth one, we started saying "pick a non-derivative nickname or a number." And she's never met Shining's baby sister, so...
On the other hand, yes, eventually it will come out. The question becomes "under what circumstances will Sunset be outed?"
10197783
Let's just say that there's a reason that Luna and Shining couldn't look each other in the eyes for three months. It might have involved alcohol, a pan of "brownies" from someone on the same floor as the ladies, and Cady giving them both huge puppy dog eyes.
I was expecting Cadance's Best Friend to be human!Chrysalis, heh. Nice twist.
It was kinda nice to see the events from both of their perspectives. And then when they began putting two-and-two together... hehehe.
100% about them both not getting the screentime they deserved, particularly Luna. What they did to Best Princess is borderline criminal.
10197843
Nah. Human chrysalis already has a place in my story that i feel will be far more amusing and appropriate. Besides, like I said, that pic from the end of Friendship Games gave me ideas.
And in this case, i like the concept that the two worlds are parallels but not perfect mirrors. That you have characters who have walked somewhat different roads because of those small differences. We see that most sharply in canon with the two Twilights, but they are not the only example.
I honestly think this is my favorite of the interludes for so many reasons. I do absolutely love the idea of Cadence and Luna being best buds (and you are so right; they really did not get enough screen time). Also human Luna being a gamer is one of my fav head canons.
I seriously cannot wait to see what Luna does with this new info about Sunset (and also how she and everyone else will react when they find out exactly just who her girlfriend is. That’s gonna be fun).
Anyways, I am very much loving this story and am super excited to read whatever happens next! Until then!
so.. um will Forgotten Friendship still happen?
10197939
Im glad you liked this, and dont worry, the Luna-Cady dynamic will make more appearances, and both women will continue as minor characters individually. Especially Cadence—after all, who else will Twilight get romance advice from?
As for what Luna will do with this knowledge? Well. You’ll have to wait and see.

As I mentioned before, i have plans for the memory stone.
However, a great deal about it will be wildly different. Forgotten Friendship had its high points (my favorite has to be Sunset’s Last Unicorn style “response to being suddenly human” after her memory loss) but one of the biggest problems with it, I felt was the villain and moral. Wallflower was a petty twat, who frankly did it to herself. Everything in the movie suggests Sunset didnt bully her, because she wasnt necessary to bully. Or, that if there was bad blood, wallflower erased it, and so how can someone atone for something they have no idea they did? More than that, we have no idea how long shes had the stone, but by the appearance of the garden in present time, probably over a year, and she admits to erasing memories of most, if not all social interactions with herself.
With that knowledge in mind, her aggression makes no sense. Sunset didnt make her an outcast, Sunset has no knowledge of bullying her, and Sunset wasnt making her invisible/forgettable to others. At which point, Sunset was simply a scapegoat for her own issues...and means there was no reason Sunset should feel guilty.
And the idea of “its not enough to not be mean, you have to be friendly”? That doesnt work or make sense. Maybe its meant to suggest apathy is unhealthy, not neutrality, but no one is going to like everyone, and destroying someone’s life simply because they didnt give you as much or the kind of attention you wanted is pretty shitty.
So while certain elements of the story woll show up later, forgotten friendship as it is in canon is not going to be what happens here. I have a much more interesting plan in mind, that will explore a villain that gets very little official screentike.
Hah, I wasn't even paying attention to the date, and finished up my re-read just in time for new chapter fun, huzzah!
Cadence and Luna best friends, eh? I can see that. Their personalities could let them get up to all sorts of shenanigans together.
Glad to see Celestia gave the police some information regarding the offal incident, even if Sunset didn't think it could go anywhere.
Of course Sunset's mean girl routine was picture perfect to a movie, Luna, how do you think she learned it?
Cadence finally got to share the news about Twilight and Sunset before she exploded, good for her, hehehe. And yeah, that will be fun when Luna learns who Ladybug is. Cadence spilled the nickname Twily, but it could mean a lot of things. If they all knew each other in college, it's possible Luna's met Shining's Mom at some point, on a campus visit or something, where Twilight wouldn't have gone, due to her anxiety. Since she's also Twilight, without the Sparkle, it wouldn't register as odd to Luna right away.
Though that could lead to quite the awkward moment at some point, if Cadence isn't clear some time when she says Twily. "Why do you call your fiancee's Mom Twily?"

Oh yeah. So much trouble putting Gamer Luna and Cady together. Believe you me, im already planning future shenanigry for the tale. Im thinking somewhere after the Buffy joke and before Coach Iron Will koolaid man’s through a door wearing a modern day viking hat fashioned out of a football helmet.
And, yes, Sunset getting her mean girl act from a movie is the point. The only real way to reconcile the extreme personality shift and just...all her behavior in the first movie with who she becomes after...at least to me, is if it was an act. We get an illustration of just how different the two societies are in the first movie watching twilight fail at “how to human”. Where else would Sunset learned how to mean girl but tacky teen movies?
At present, luna has not encountered anyone else in the family other than cady and shining. She and cady were roomies in college—its how they met and got to be friends. Shining was included because he was cadences boyfriend who sometimes crashed in the dorm room.

Oh thank the Stars. While Forgotten Friendship had some good moments and it wasn't outright bad, it had many things that left me unsatisfied or with a sour taste in my mouth. The problems you mention with Wallflower as a character for starters (and to this day it still boggles my mind to see how often people ship her and Sunset together), and also I felt Celestia and Sunset's reconciliation was a bit underwhelming, for two ponies who had as much baggage as they did.
And FF also shows one of the issues EqG developed after the "OG Trilogy", which was all the antagonists after the Sirens and Midnight Sparkle were kinda... lame (with the possible exception of Gaia Everfree).
All I can say right now is wow. It was an amazing chapter. It filled gaps and thickened the plot and foundation of story. It gave the story a much richer fill and more cohesive story, as well as, making it feel like something from real life. Keep up the good work.

We’ve talked about the Sunset-Princess Celestia relationship thing before, so i wont do that soapbox again, lol. But, i hear ya about the wallflower thing. Gods, Wallflower is just...ugh. And honestly, i have iffy opinions on a lot of pairings, because i look at potential relationships based on psychological angles and a study pf personalities and honestly, most potential pairings people are keen to ship are personality disasters waiting to happen.
10198439
Yes, these interludes are meant to do just that: give a glimpse of things outside of sunset’s point of view, and to give some plot tidbits just to interest you guys.
10198474
Mmm, I'd be interested to hear your opinion on some of the more common pairing, but I understand this isn't the place for it (though maybe a blog post...? ). I haven't really studied behavior or psychology and mostly the ones I prefer are either on how well I fell the two characters play off each other, or sometimes even some joke or irony from it (a particular favorite of mine is the OTT of Cadance-Shining-Chrysalis)
Now I want to draw a picture of Luna sitting in her underwear with a headset on and screaming expletives.
10199677
Oh, then you will enjoy....I think it's Chapter Forty One? Forty Two? I dunno. There might be a chapter that involves Luna livestreaming an FPS while swearing into Cady's ears about some snot nosed brats, right before she starts spawn camping them with her sniper skills.
Muy buena historia me encanta sigue por favor
I love this story so muchhhhh
"can you just see Shining and Luna being fucking LARP buddies?"
No, they're clearly tabletop roleplayers. Cadence and Celestia are the LARP'ers.
10446705
What is larp ?
10589742
Live Action Role-Playing, it's a bunch of people running around in costumes playing live action dnd
10825442
Larping is quite good fun, especially with the giant fuzzy dice! I could totally see Luna and Shiny in costume...
Cady: "What on earth happened here? Why is our paladin laying on the ground holding a rose?"
Luna: "Well, he was just standing there, being so unabashedly lawful!"
"So?"
"So, I a-bashéd him with this big stick!"
"I see... And the rose?"
"He said it was traditional."
I always found, despite its origins, that "Gamer Luna" made a lot more sense for VP Luna than Princess Luna, just considering the level of technology between the two worlds alone
ill be fully honest my mind for some reason had thought Chrissy was gonna be Cadances friend in the human world XD
but everyone knows that Chrissy lives, and hangs out with the Fluffle.
You devious, heartstring tugging maniac you. I've cried thrice in one sitting.....
