Is this the last story in this series?

No idea. This takes place before the last story's epilogue. It's been simmering for a few months.
flash sentry?
10469952
What? No. This is the sixth part in a long running story of mine.
I have to see what happens with Soapberry.
Hm. Kiddie Fizzle. Let's see what happened pre-runaway...
10470304
It's gonna be my usual style, a time jump after the prologue.
I saw this is part of a larger thing. But why does this fandom seem to have a fetish for Tempest being a Royal Guard? Let alone the Captain?
Last I remember, Hasbro or IDW didn't start the idea.
10470338
Same reason why Lyra has a human fetish.
We latch on to some things and just run with it.
10470343
Lyra's thing I'll agree with, even though it never amounted to anything in the show beyond a weird sitting position.
Tempest, I never saw anything show wise that hinted at this. Maybe in the comics, but I don't have a very good opinion on them.
10470344
I'd be thrilled if you go back and read from the beginning, but I was one of many that saw that Tempest was a considerably capable fighter, and that Twilight's castle and Ponyville didn't have any guards, despite being the home of a princess for years.
Gallus starting his training in the Ponyville EUP makes a ton of sense. His slip-up walking into the training room made me laugh, though. Silly griffon.

I was joking
... her parents couldn’t understand her pain from losing her horn
Your tempest stories are something I’ll never stop rereading
Strange the aftermath of Fizzlepop's disappearance never was mention by her friends, or that they found them rest of her horn in the cave.

That happened at the end of the first story, when they gave it to her in Ponyville.
Yeah, definitely a better way to leave it off with Mom.
Interesting point about Fizzy splitting her life in pieces. Great analogy. If I can point something out, though:
I'm guessing that second one was supposed to be 'after'?
10477246
Already spotted and fixed by another pre-reader, but thanks!
Good to see Fizzle getting the time with Twilight that she clearly needed. Especially over cake. Everything is better with cake.
I have to ask, though: is Spike really still doing dishes? You'd think as Royal Advisor his promotion would come with some perks.
10479218
He happily helped Twilight cook for Velvet.
Poking feels right out of the gate. Great character and world building as always. I look forward to reading the next update.

Thanks for reading! Working hard on the next chapter.
I have alicorn potion PTSD...
Ether very good idea, or very bad idea.
Odds are we'll get the classic "Neither version is correct" ending for this set-up. Not that it's unrealistic, memories are not perfect recordings of the past, they are our mental reconstutions so our emotions and the time as well as the influence of other experiences we've had effect that recreation's accuracy. Soapberry's guilt might make her remember being more distraught while Fzzlepop's anger might make her remember her mom not being as impacted by what happened as she was.
Oh snaps. :3 This is juicy!
Yah, definitely wanna stay away from those.
Phew, not bad with that chase/fight switching. Glad I could help with the couplets; that one you didn't show me was pretty good!
Every update to this makes me want another update to this. :D
10479218
It's Spike. His job is exactly the same as it's always been, he just has a different title. Probably pays the same, too. (Nothing.)
I see what you did there.
Yeah, never hurts to have a comfort plushie in a deep uncomfortable sleep. Hopefully it helps.
This story is rising up my favorites list the more I read. Keep it up.
Nice recap of the previous stories. Soapberry definitely needs to be filled in, and that was a good way to do it.
And yeah, really hittin' it home with the filly Fizzle scene. I can imagine the kind of transition it must take for a unicorn used to using magic to switch to using only her hooves. Ouch.
Did you mean this? Or was it supposed to be worst? I could see it being either, but the phrase is usually "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst," and no body language or tone of voice made it clear which one it might be.
Other than that, yeah, these progressions of events seem right on both sides of Fizzle's mind.

It was written like that. You'll see what she's up to.
seeing that the whole down had put up these ribbons on light posts,
Town?
10495312
Fixed, thanks!
Ouch, right in the feels
After five hours of waiting and paperwork.
Yeah, finally time for Fizzle to drop her shield and let out her emotions. Can't keep up that barrier forever.
I see what you did there.
Looks like some mother-daughter recovery time will do some good for their relationship. And maybe Soapberry will make some more visits to Ponyville after Fizzle heads back home.
Not a bad addition to this Fizzlepop timeline! I'll keep my eyes out for another if you have any interest in it.
This very quickly became one of my favorite stories that I've read on this site.
This was amazing!

Thanks for reading! Currently working on my next couple (non-Fizzlepop) stories!
Another full of feels story on everyone's favorite ex-villain that invaded Canterlot. I waited until the story was complete to read it, and it did NOT disappoint.

Thanks for reading! Glad you enjoyed!
Feels were masterfully poked in this installment. Good job milesprower06. I look forward to reading the next one.
This series is awesome! 🎇
It too bad that FIM never did any more with Tempest, and I don't really like how IDW continued with Tempest in the comics, being quite mean and uncaring and so crass still...
Your series of stories just how i kinda figured her future may end up like.
Thanks so much for this! Was a pleasure to read.

Thank you very much for reading! Glad you enjoyed.
The doctor's bit I just wanted to say, I don't really blame him for how he handled things. Yeah it's easy to say in retrospect that he shoulda/coulda but if I was a parent I'd probably be more upset if the doctor just crushed my child without any sympathy. Stoneheartedness is probably not a good trait in pediatric medicine, sure, being a complete bleeding heart is probably not helpful either but I'd rather him say something like "You are a strong and resilient filly, but I will warn you that getting your horn back is a bit more complicated than several weeks of bedrest..."
Berry's situation brings to mind stories involving an adopted or step-parent vs birth parent. I haven't seen my own birth dad in years excluding Facebook messages and a very brief visit last year on his birthday. That said I recognize that her situation is a lot more complicated and well tempestuous than my own.
