First things first, loving the new cover for the season! I especially love how cuddly Pinkie and Dash are with Dusk.
Secondly, this is a great start for the next season of this incredible story. I'm especially interested in seeing why Sunset wants to reconnect with Dusk after all this time and after she thought of him in the past.
In any case, let me know when you have the next chapter done and I'll take a look at it for you, as always!
Hooray! Season 2 is here!
wo the new story is out. yay.
Fantastic opening chapter! Season One was the story that got me back into MLP fanfic after many years away, and it's great to see it continue!
16 THOUSAND words only in the first chapter, that's a lot of freaking dedication
Ooh dang I did not see that coming, sunset shimmer is one clever girl.
Oh, I am loving this already. I can only imagine what's going to happen now that Sunset is involved. Though, from has been seen, I can tell she's gonna try to pull Dusk away from his friends. Hopefully, Dusk lays down the law soon. Something like this:
Sunset: You need me, Dusk! I am your fiancé! Your only real friend!
Dusk: No, you're not! You only saw me as a means to an end! A lackey for you to toss away when you no longer needed me! Well, you know what Sunset? I realize that I no longer need you.

haha but I think it was the right choice 
I'm glad you like the drawing
To tell the truth, I was very indecisive in the face that Dusk had to have
and yes, we'll soon learn more about this strange relationship between Dusk and Sunset
as always, thanks for your help and thanks for commenting
10758262
Thank you very much, I'm glad that you like my story and it motivates you to read more about the MLP universe
10758264
I wanted to make a shorter chapter, but there were many things to tell about Dusk's past, and I wanted the readers to know well the context of Dusk's old trauma, as it's an important point.
haha yeah
I hope you like the chapter
10758265
yeah, for better or for worse, Sunset is one of the most cunning ponies in this story.
We'll see more about it in the following chapters
10758271
I'm glad you liked the chapter
And yes, soon we'll see more about Sunset, she's a character that will have great relevance these first chapters, so soon we'll see how Dusk and his friends deal with this new character
thanks for commenting
I wonder if Cadance still keep Sunset's diary, that would be a good blackmail material.
I wonder if Sunset really fail the last spell or if it was a setup.
Since this is just one chapter I'm gonna wait it out until at least it got 5 chapters so it could be worth reading!.
That's a lot to take in
At long last, the prophecy has been realized. I am glad to see you back and I can't wait for future updates.
Hope those bullies gotten taken care of
Don’t think about wanting sunset in the harem now
Jerk whining, if he keeps this attitude during the wedding hen I hope cadance publicly and loudly chides him and tells him what a bully he is to his brother
Ngl, it's starting to get really infuriating how much of a beta male Dusk is.
What a great way to start off this story’s second season! Keep up the great work!
The plot thickens! And I love it ! Sunset and Dusk's story was very epic and sad
Is it just me or are the nobles more cretins than I expected? I'm dying to read your reactions when Dusk turns into Alicorn and prince, it's going to be hilarious.
Season 1 ended with honor enrollment friend! You are doing great
10758420
who knows, maybe we'll find out in the future.
Although it must be remembered that it wasn't the original diary, but a copy made with magic.
10758438
Apparently Sunset tried to cast too big a spell, but failed. Maybe at some point they will talk about it
thanks for comment
10758454
well, there are 16 thousand words, I would say that it's enough to entertain yourself reading
but of course, you can wait if you like
10758465
it was time to find out about Dusk's past
and yes, there was a lot to tell
10758488
I'm already working on the next chapter, I hope it won't take too long
thanks for the support
10758489
haha well, several events will happen before the big wedding, so many things can happen
10758599
well, there are no perfect characters, the nice thing is to see how characters grow
10758729
I'm glad you liked this beginning of the season 
Thank you very much
soon more chapter
thanks for comment
Wow. Poor Dusk. No wonder he was so traumatized against seeking friendship. Sad as it is to admit, I can easily see Sunset doing something like that at this point in her life. I think I can predict what's going to happen over the course this season, but I'll try to not make too many assumptions. After all, you make an ass of you and me when you do that.
So, regardless of anything else, this was a great opener to the story!! Thank you for posting it (FINALLY!!!!!)
10758978
you're definitely not wrong, the nobles are cretins
haha and as you say, we'll have to see if Dusk ever becomes an alicorn, definitely the nobles would have a heart attack haha
anyway, soon more chapters
thanks for comment
I constantly reread the previous season. So I am looking forward to this seasons development and reread it again and again as well.
Well done!
10759171
but of course, I always try to make a continuous story, but with several surprises haha 
yes, Dusk had a more difficult childhood than Twilight. Sunset definitely left a mark on poor Dusk, which he luckily healed thanks to his friends from Ponyville.
And about the predictions, you're free to make theories
Anyway, I'm glad you like the chapter
Thank you very much for commenting
10759177
) I think when I write the last chapter of the story, everyone will have to reread it to see how everything actually connects and from old chapters I left certain clues of what will happen in the future 
I'm glad you reread the story (and as always sorry for the spelling mistakes in the first chapters
I'm very glad you like this chapter and soon many more chapters
thanks for comment

True, but I question if that's ever gonna happen, judging by how he easily accepts Sunset back despite what she did, which goes to further emphasize how Dusk is even more of a doormat than Fluttershy.
I do hope Dusk grows a back bone and fights against Sunset Shimmer. I really don't want to see him fall under her influence.
Glad to see that you're still continuing with this. Normally not the biggest fan of romantic novels, but this has pulled me in.
I will say that I'm not the biggest fan of Sunset's inclusion currently, but it's barely enough to drive me off and I can't say what you can and can't do with your story.
10759566
we'll have to wait to see how Dusk reacts
thanks for comment
10759797
well, it's true that it has romance, but I try to make it a story that has a little bit of everything, adventure, drama, etc.
And about Sunset, she's a character that will bring several surprises, I hope you like this little arc that is about the arrival of Sunset
thanks for comment
10759365
Got to agree with you there, I would at least like to see him snap back at her and call her out on the way she treated him.
Harems with a male lead that can't stand up for themselves tend to get old real quick.
Poor Dusk... he's found himself being pulled back into a toxic relationship and he doesn't know what to do.
Also, I suspect that Sunset has actively put that mind magic to the test, considering that Dusk clearly has an altered memory of his first kiss.
This show you how useless adults are when their kids are bullied or bullies! Than the passive say just ignore and turn the other cheek. That never works for the defenseless. Down vote me to prove I'm right!
I can imagine how Dusk will be when they are all married and the mares are pregnant...
10760173
yes, toxic relationships are very complicated, and the hardest thing is to accept that 'that' is a toxic relationship.
Let's hope Dusk soon finds out who his true friends are
thanks for comment
10760639
yes, bullying is something that is always present and is something that is difficult to deal with, even more so for a child. It's a complicated topic
10760799
It would definitely be something unexpected for Dusk haha
haha I wonder if this is how the story will end, who knows
thanks for comment
Nice backstory, it help to put a lot of context to Dusk's past. From the looks of it Dusk and Shining Armor don't have anywhere aren't very close and have nowhere near the same relations as with Twilight Sparkles; I wonder how Dusk would get to me Shining first mare, would Candance force the issue between the two. It might seem that Chrysalis might have sights on other then Shining in this story. L oved the idea that Discord was going to turn Zecora into a bureaucrat part. Loved the parts with Sunset, I do like her ambitions in life, even if a bit worrying, I think it represent her pretty well from the comic before EqG, and she did had a lot of gusts in going through the mirror, I wonder where she had been sense she was with Dusk and how much did her magic improved sense then, I am sure she has lots of stories to tell, I wonder if she has been around the Kirins in the period. I wouldn't be surprised that Celestia intervened to try to get Sunset to befriend Dusk, but I am not sure what is written in the diary is true or accurate, from the looks of it Sunset was pretty paranoid(given her 'father') and I wouldn't be surprised that she codes her writing, or a spell that filters the content by using the opposite on meaning or intention, or even was a decoy intentionally planted for Cadance to read through. From the sound of it Sunset isn't really all that impressed by Celestia and I don't think she would have done befriend Dusk on Celestia's request or promise, she sounds too head strong to be a flank kisser like other ponies.
Looking forward to see more of this
10762085
I'm glad you liked the chapter
Good analysis, and as you say, there are still many things to tell about Sunset. She's definitely a character who will bring very interesting things to the story
thanks for comment
Jesus Christ.... That whole flashback from how they met leading up to how dusk learned the horrible truth that Sunset never cared for him... you definitely started off this new season with the bang, now we wait to see where it goes from here
You know something thatr caught my attention is importance they gave to the starburst in Dusk and shining's CM I wonder if that is gonna be explained
