Being annoyed that their conversation was interrupted since they arrived at the apartment complex Sunset would be moving into with her mother quickly turned to awe once they made it inside. While the outside of the building did look really nice and the neighborhood did look a little on the rich side, the apartment itself pretty much nailed the fact that her mother was pretty well off home. Their apartment was actually the penthouse that took up the entire top floor with the family slash common room being twice as big as her old apartment shocking the girl as they carried her stuff through it into another room which would be her own. Again it was twice as big as her old apartment not counting her private bathroom which was almost just as big as her old apartment herself. Just who really needed both a separate large walk in shower with glass doors as well as a deep bathtub perfect for soaking in which looked to have jets in it like Rarity’s did.
Her room itself had a tell dresser in the small space to the left of the door to her bathroom that opened against it and one of those lower ones that was long to the right of the door which Ray’s terrarium was sitting as Sunset hooked it his lights while Leonard dropped off the last of the totes in the middle of the room which didn’t even come close to hindering any foot traffic. On the end of the dresser was a large L shaped desk with what looked like a custom desktop computer sitting there.
On the opposite wall a large queen, maybe even king sized bed with four posts and curtains which Sunset was positive Rarity had said was a princess style bed which the posh girl wanted but couldn’t get as it wouldn’t really fit in her room very well. Next to it was a night stand with a closet that turned out being a walk-in closet that was about half the size of her new bathroom on the other side of it. Next to it was a wardrobe which Sunset wasn’t sure was necessary with a closet she doubted she would ever be able to even fill a tenth of much less the whole thing requiring the wardrobe. On the wall next to the entry way was a large television that was probably the largest she had ever seen with a couple leather chairs that Sunset recognized from the mall that was heated and had massage capabilities. Finally the last wall had what seemed to be large bay windows with heavy blinds blocking out the light and heavy curtains hanging over them pulled mostly closed.
Sunset was still unsure how she deserved such a room and was purely stunned at the size of it as she straightened up from getting Ray’s heat turned on. This place was a little much, so much more than she thought possible.
“Anything else Ma’am?” Leonard asked giving them both a smile.
“No, that will be all. I’ll be back in a moment honey.” Susan said as she kissed the top of Sunset’s head in passing.
“Welcome home Ms. Shimmer, I hope you have a Merry Christmas and I look forward to serving you both.” Leonard said with a smile as be gave a short bow before following Susan out of the room after Sunset wished him a Merry Christmas as well leaving Sunset to look around the room. Susan had assured her everything was hers in the room and Sunset was having a hard time comprehending everything.
“Sorry sweetie, I was just seeing Leonard out and giving him his Christmas bonus.” Susan said as she returned a moment later.
“It’s okay.” Sunset said feeling a little overwhelmed as Sunset went over to pull the top off one of the tubs to start helping Sunset unpack. Shaking off her state of shock at the moment she let the thing that had been bothering her come back as she asked, “Just how does Twilight know about magic?”
“We need to see about getting you an art desk or some easels or something.” Susan mumbled as she started pulling out the knickknacks and the carefully packed paints. “Oh, Twilight, well that is a bit of a story.”
“You can leave that packed for now until I figure out what to do with it.” Sunset said as she opened the tote with her drawing supplies and clothes putting the sketchpads and pencils on the desk by the keyboard. “I don’t really mind a long story, I really want to know.”
“Well, I guess it isn’t really a secret since most of what happened other than the magic happened publicly. It started a little after Velvet and I became close, like sisters and she confided in me she was worried about Twilight. Apparently she was closing herself off more and more while working on some project centered around an unknown energy source that spiked so high it set off all of her instruments in her lab at Crystal Prep.” Susan explained as she started pulling the clothes from the tote Sunset was working on and straightening them out before putting hangers she retrieved from the closet on them. “It took Yan Lin showing me video after the whole seahorse thing for me to realize what she had seen. We both thought that it was too dangerous to let Twilight start messing around with something that she didn’t understand so we explained everything to Velvet and showed her proof that magic was real and most likely the energy source Twilight had detected.”
“I bet that went over well.” Sunset said as she inspected her drawing pads to make sure that there wasn’t any damage to them.
“You don’t know the half of it.” Susan laughed as she finished putting the clothes on hangers as there really weren’t many of them to do. “After her freak out she brought Twilight and the three of us explained everything to her and told her she needed to drop the whole thing since she could get hurt as well as hurt the lives of anyone with magic and their families. At first she vehemently refused until she broke down and admitted she had to finish her project to get away from Crystal Prep and the now ex-Principal Cinch who had been trying to blackmail Twilight into competing in the Friendship Games this spring.”
“She was being blackmailed?” Sunset asked in shock, “What kind of monster does that to their students?”
“Apparently a very cruel one as Velvet’s daughter in law had been trying behind the scenes to negate the damage Cinch kept causing by forcing the students to compete with each other to the point bullying ran rampant. Being a private school it was harder to get rid of Cinch as the board only saw the results of the highest ranking school in the state. With proof of what she tried with Twilight and some high level attorneys threatening to demolish the board in court they had no choice but to investigate. When they finally did even the most cold hearted members were disgusted by the things they found and had Cinch arrested and put Velvet’s daughter in law Cadence in charge.” Susan explained making Sunset blanch at the name. “Are you okay honey?”
Susan had finished putting the small stack of clothes in the closet and moved over to give Sunset a comforting hug wondering just what she said that was bothering Sunset. It was impossible not to see the blanch and the mixture of anger and guilt in the girl’s eyes that Susan was confident didn’t have anything to do with the story about Twilight.
“A part of me still hates her even though I keep trying to tell myself none of it was her fault. I feel like crap feeling that was since I’m not that little anymore and I know better.” Sunset sighed as she leaned into the embrace feeling a little embarrassed for enjoying them so much yet didn’t want it to stop as it was what she dreamed of for as long as she could remember.
“Who honey? What happened?” Susan asked rubbing circles in Sunset’s back.
“When I was a pony, Princess Celestia found me as a filly in the middle of a magic surge, the one I guess that sent me to that world. She took me in and made me feel like she was going to be a mother to me but the more I tried to prove I was worthy of her the more she pushed me away.” Sunset explained, her voice a little shaky and soft. “Then after a couple years she brought a new pony into the castle, a total stranger. I’ve been there or so long killing myself to prove I was worthy of her love and she got angry with me because I called her mom. The same day she brought that pony in, the day she brought Cadence in, she insisted that she called her Auntie.”
“You are worthy of love and if that nag was too blind to see how wonderful you are then she didn’t deserve you. I can see hoe wonderful you are and I’m so proud to call you my daughter.” Susan said kissing the top of Sunset’s head. “You can call me mom anytime you want, I’d be so proud to be called that by you.”
“I don’t know if I can, a part of me is afraid of being thrown away as soon as I do.” Sunset admitted as she gently pulled away and wiped her eyes putting on a fake smile and went to open the tote with her notebook, clock and game system with games making Susan give a sad sigh.
“Sweetie, I do love you.” Susan said as she moved beside Sunset and gave her a half hug. “Don’t ever forget that because nothing will change that. I won’t push you to call me mom if Susan makes you more comfortable. Just know that I’m here for you.”
“Thanks.” Sunset said with a sad smile, but a real one as she really appreciated the woman saying it giving her yet another point if Sunset’s book for being the kind of mother she had wished so many years for. Deciding to change the topic back to what they were discussing, she asked, “What happened next with Twilight?”
“Well, Velvet ended up pulling Twilight out of Crystal prep even with Cadence taking charge much to Twilight’s relief.” Susan explained as she looked though the game cases as Sunset pulled out the game system itself and was setting it up on the platform below the television. “Twilight was so happy even if Sheffield isn’t as prestigious as Crystal Prep it’s still a very good private school. She’s made some friends with the girls though they aren’t really close. Especially Irma, Twilight started going out with the boy who crushed on Irma for years and the poor girl don’t know how to take losing his attentions. It is her fault though for rejecting him all those times if she had any interest in him.”
“Huh, that’s kind of unexpected.” Sunset said as she finished plugging the cables in. “This Twilight must be more outgoing than the pony one.”
“Well, not really.” Susan said as she handed Sunset the small stack of games. “It’s more like Martin is a little more unrelenting when he sees something he wants. Not in a bad way, not really, he just asked her a few times and she said yes. Thanks to him and the ability to relax a little being away from that shark tank Crystal Prep had become, Twilight has broken out of her shell some. They spend a lot of time here at times.”
“They do?” Sunset asked a little shocked.
“Yeah, since I have four rooms here I have one and saved you one and I made a guest one that Twilight more or less uses mostly when her parents are out of town. Night Light is a lawyer and Velvet is my assistant and sometimes they have to go out of town for business for me and I take care of Twilight. The last room I had a makeshift office but I never used it so when Twilight started staying over I let her convert it into a lab as long as it isn’t anything dangerous.” Susan explained. “Do you like your room honey?”
“I love it, I never imagined I would ever have a room like this. I think it’s even better than my room at the castle when I was the Princess’s student. A part of me is still a little unsure if I deserve this.” Sunset said as she looked at what little she had and realized that even when she was completely done unpacking the room would still be kind of barren of personal things with how big it was and how little she had to fill it.
“You deserve it and more.” Sunset said.
“Susan?” Sunset asked, fidgeting as she looked down avoiding Susan’s eyes for several moments.
“Its okay honey, take your time.” Susan said with a patient smile before the wind was knocked out of her as Sunset rushed forward and hugged her tightly crying.
“Thank you for finding me and making me feel like I belong somewhere!” Sunset cried as Susan wrapped her arms around her daughter and kissed her on her head.
“You do belong Sunset and I hope you never feel like you don’t ever again.” Susan said squeezing the girl.
“I love you.” Sunset whispered making Susan's smile threaten to split her face.
“I love you too honey,” Susan sniffed, “Now and always my baby girl.”

Ok
The whole Anon-a-miss thing was immediately resolved.
So what was the point?
11489746 The point was pretty much to have a starting point where Sunset does care for her friends yet she is hurt enough by them and maybe even angry enough to be willing to move away and actually give Susan a chance. If Sunset wasn't feeling the way she was, conflicted about her friends and the ones who blamed her for AaM, I don't see her leaving Canterlot too easily even if they are close enough to visit. Then again, she still might have as she really wants a family, but this way at least gives her a little bit more of a reason.
11489452
Well, that is ... concerning...
I mean in comic!canon blame for Sunset's defection kinda lies on both sides ... and the fact that Sunset had contact with something similar to Mirror of Erised. Unfortunately here situation seems different, it could be that Celestia was getting tunnel vision because of Luna's return or maybe a case of miscommunication but her reaction (being angered by being called mum) in addition to totally polar behavior towards Cadence tell me :
1. Whatever was causing Susan's behavior towards Will was still active or at least partially active after her arrival in Equestria, which means that this bad juju was not only powerful enough to still be anchored after transit but also affected an Alicorn (Adding the fact that it was anchored onto Will instead of people in her vicinity if mind control was in fact in effect gives clue that whoever used that needed either close and regular contact or some kind of medium like blood, hair ... Auramere ...)
or
2. We have a case of Darker!Celestia in this timeline which is a rather rare case beyond ... TCB *Shudders like there is a hungry dementor created from mother-in-law in close proximity*
Both are equally concerning ... I wonder what would be Twilight reaction to knowledge about those events ... except denial that is because that is expected.
Sooo Cinch is in a Prison Pinch and Twilight had some issues ... Yay for happy ending without tearing local fabric of reality to shreds.
Also Sci-Twi + Martin ... Soooo sweet Uber-genius and computer geek that knows something about the romantic side of life (Personally, I was kinda hoping for Sci-TwixSunset but you can't win them all). This also means an uber-powerful amalgamation of magic and technology that can be turned against evil with a big red button, deranged laughter, and SCIENCE! *Cue ominous lighting strikes* is closer than ever.
Unfortunately, it can also cause quite a big backlash: there was mention of racist opinions against canterlot people and Irma goes through attention withdrawal, what are the chances that guardians will start thinking that "Pastel Crayons" want to steal Will live and they "Confused poor Martin" to help them in a similar way to that one girl that was stealing attention on Ski trip (Something about being foreigner if I remember correctly)?
After all misconceptions and hatred aren't logical...
Ohoho Nerissa has a connection to a hidden villain and her new choices kicked some of his plans, As would certain abridged prince of Saiyan hype say: Iiiiiiinteresting !
As for question who is smarter Phobos or Zephyr Breeze ... that is one of those trick/paradox question right?
I also hope that my going slightly ... Twinanas with comments is not an issue, I kinda have a problem with jumping from thought to thought while writing ... or talking ...
11489834 Well, actually it kind of lays on both sides here though in truth a lions share of the blame does lay on Celestia. She did care for Sunset in the story here, but as you said she did have some tunnel vision because of Luna as well as wanting to keep Sunset at arms length to keep her from being hurt by Luna in case she tried to use her as a pawn. There is also the fact that Celestia did recognize the Heart of Kandrakar which made it extremely hard for Celestia to trust her fully. So there was some miscommunication as well as mistrust as well as stressing over Luna and worrying about Sunset not being an alicorn and unable to grasp the concept needed to evolve into an alicorn. When it came to Cadence she was a little too excited that there was another alicorn that would be able to help her stand against Luna if need be and at the very least take over the kingdom if she failed and had to take both Luna and herself out. I hope that makes kind of sense as I'm really trying to get out what have in my head about the situation without giving too many clues to the last couple chapters.
1. That was actually a pretty good idea and might have been a bit better than my original idea but then again the Spirits healed Will when they made her Sunset and would have negated any curses or anything like that. Though I really, really love your idea and in some ways it would have made a bit more sense in a way making the girls and Susan act the way they did. Instead the girls pretty much didn't hate Will and it was only Cornelia causing the most of the problems though the others not really standing up for WIll and especially Taranee slightly agreeing with the logical aspects of Corny's cornfit hurt Will. Then again, Will wasn't exactly guilt free as she should never have tried to keep the secret from Elyon.
2. Nope, though it might be interesting. Just not too sure I can really write an dark Celestia since while I don't exactly have her in the top of my list I really do believe she cared for Sunset. She's just an idiot and after living so long more or less emotionally messed up.
Twilight probably would really try to deny it because of her hero worship of Celestia though she would likely investigate everything and be at least upset with her mentor.
Yep, which is one of the first really big changes to canon as it negates the Friendship Games as we know it. I may or may not still have it involving several schools in the area though that would likely end up being a second story if I do it so no bad first impressions between Sunset and Twilight.
Thanks, I was actually a little worried how everyone would take that pairing but I really loved the thought of the two nerds finding happiness together. And yep, with the addition of Sunset the three can do a lot of cool stuff. I actually have a pairing in mind for Sunset that I hope will go over good. I actually have the first project that they will be doing planned to some extent. And a big red button and science can overcome most anything!
There will be a few racist and one not really racist but somewhat snotty person that will show up. It may cause some conflicts with the girls, I mean there is someone in the group who I can see really being against her at first and surprisingly it isn't Irma. Irma might have some problems, I mean Twilight did steal her safetynet. And you are pretty close to something I have planned.
Yep, it's why I haven't had her do too much in view of the story so far since I'm afraid of giving the villian away way too early.
Actually, it might be a paradox because if you think about it too much your head might explode.
It isn't, I love your comments and I actually do that a lot too but that might be because I have so much on my mind so often as well as having someone demanding to be able to use the computer at times it causes me to lose my train of thought or have to cut short what I'm trying to say as they often wait until I start something.
11489834
I forgot to say Sunset was just young and did blow things out of proportion. Not that she didn't have reason to as to her Celestia was cold and aloof and in her need for attention Sunset did break into the forbidden part of the library.
11490012
Ahhh so it is just a big case of mutual misunderstanding ... now I feel slightly stupid with my overanalyzing and forgetting for a moment that each story has multiple perspectives. Twilight, prepare psychiatrist glasses and comfy chairs with restraints, this situation calls for GROUP THERAPY! *Cue lightning, demented laughter, and screams of absolute terror*
Ooo project planned for nerd squad ... is it wrong to hope it's either a mana generator that can awaken the magic in any person with prolonged contact (UNLEASH THE MAGIC ... for the average citizen, especially defenseless family) or a magitek gun that can make holes both to other worlds and in other people?
Ahh, an understandable problem with sharing, unfortunately or fortunately depending on perspective I don't have that issue. Anyway, I give my compassion ... for all that is worth...
I kinda have a problem that I once wanted to start writing, but I'm not ... good in any way, shape, or form. I have ideas but never could write them down ... and suddenly not only I got not one but three Omake ideas for your verse and I don't know what to do with them so congratulations, you infected me with creativity.
11490212 Yep, though I pretty much suck at knowing how to balance them out so everyone knows what's going on. I think i might be one of my biggest weaknesses in writing. I can really see Twilight being an evil psychiatrist running group therapy with an all powerful alicorn, an angry teen and a pissed off mother wanting to wring said alicorn's neck.
Yep, and actually I have two planned. The first is probably something simple and more likely to be possible and more logical to happen. The second I'm not so sure if I will do it as it is possibly over the top and maybe a little too much for the story. I do like the magitek gun idea though, but not so sure about creating a portal gun.
I appreciate any compassion so thanks.
I'm sure you are a lot better than you are giving yourself credit for. Your comments have been really well written and while writing a story, and I really think at times that it is much harder to write reviews and comments than actually writing a story. Thanks, I'm glad I was able to because that's the good kind of infection but I guess I must do better since I only managed to give you three ideas, any less than thirty is a failure on my part. Must write better to infect more people.
11490252
... welp might as well try and post those omakes here in comments.
"The City Musical"
Principal Kate Knickerbocker entered her house in a state that many would describe as disheveled: sweat dropping from her brows, clothes were damaged ... you get the idea ...
It was another day of Christmas break and the only thing that was earlier on the principal's mind was to go to the shop and make necessary preparations for the upcoming new year, but on the way, she was quite literally stolen by the music from an unknown source ... and she wasn't alone.
Somehow, someway she was ... compelled ... no that is not a word but there is no better for that momentary feeling, to sing and dance together with many other people to the rhytm of "Highway to Hell".
Frankly, she wasn't that angry about that, it was a nice song and it was a long time since she was able to dance, she could remember that last time when Cassidy and Halinor took her to the disco, problem was that her attire ... was not in good state and it will be costly to repair, besides if any student saw her then her carefully crafted strict persona would be ruined. After sitting on the sofa for some time to catch a breath she knew she has one thing to do and took a phone in her hand dialing a number.
One signal ... Two signals ... and it was picked
"Principal Celestia ?" She asked. "Yes it's Principal Knickerbocker, I'm calling to apologize for my outburst at the previous conference."
"..."
"That outburst about the irresponsibility of allowing students to organize flash mobs in public places."
"..."
"Yes, I know I didn't believe you that they were "kinda happening spontaneously" but at that time it was hard to believe."
"..."
"Yes it happen ... wait how do you know it happened to me ?!"
"... "
"THE INTERNET?!"
Without much thought principal disconnected the call running to her desk and checking ... and there it is...
"Rocking principal" with over half a million views shows how after making a kinda risky double frontflip from a car roof (That she didn't know she could do) she was making "air guitar". At that moment Principal Knickerbocker swore that whoever was responsible for that will suffer an eternity of detentions, no matter if that was a student, mayor, or pope himself.
About three streets away, Sunset Shimmer suddenly got shudder, that was like Discord himself making Konga line with AT-AT on her grave. Thinking it was probably nothing she shrugged, paid for her purchase, and exited the shop while changing her playlist from rock to something calmer.
Meanwhile, in her own house , a very smug Principal Celestia was saving a video clip on her personal drive for later ... "reminder" and certainly not "blackmail".
"The Horsey Style"
Susan Vandom had one of the bad mornings, but she was happy that she can reconnected with ... let's say "legacy" of her daughter . Unfortunately, she in all that happiness forgot something... like for example buying bathroom necessities, in particular a shampoo.
She asked her daughter if she has one for borrowing because that day she had a very important client and she needed to be in top shape. Needless to say, she was a little perplexed by the bottle in her hand.
"Honey, are you sure it's yours?" She asked.
"Yes, even the same mark as the one I used in Equestria."
"But it's a horse shampoo."
The only reaction that Sunset showed was a deadpan expression. After a minute Susan felt slightly sheepish.
"Right it's pony land ..." Not wanting to wound Sunset she quickly changed tracks. "Is it any good ?"
In answer, Sunset waved her hair, in lamp light it looked ... pretty good. "Yes, and it is much cheaper than you would think."
Susan once more looked at the bottle." Well unto the breach as they say ..."
A couple of hours later Susan was both perplexed and pleased by what was happening. The new contract was not only a success but also it was negotiated on much better conditions than should be expected. Not only that but some men in office ... and some women were not only colliding with walls but openly drooling.
On the other hand, the rest of women were openly glaring at her.One secretary from another district even called her "horse face" behind her back thinking she hadn't heard. That caused a slight chuckle to escape from her "Oh, Irony..."
Needless to say that income of the firm rose three times that day and Susan asked her daughter about other products that could ... be used as a business enhancement. Besides, that shampoo had a very nice smell ...
"The Kingsmare"
Sunset had a very bad week. She had a very nice time with her mother and even meetings with Twilight and Martin were light in the day when she could talk about some advanced things without sounding like a total bookworm ... even when they could not stop flirting for five minutes. No, what was destroying her humor were glares from neighbors and pedestrians. "America, "Land of Equality and Freedom" my plot ... Well not like Canterlot snobs were better".
She thought about going to a local gym after advice from Susan to "work out emotions." After a couple of hours the only thing that she felt was some sore muscles from running. It was already long past 7.pm and she was the last person inside except the receptionist ... or so she thought when six adult men ... and one child/dwarf entered the room. You didn't need to be Celestia's student to see that those bike chains and metal pipes were not for handyman work. And they were not planning to let her pass.
"Can I help you?" Sunset asked, at least she could be polite.
"We don't want your kind here, we are here to teach ya a lesson."
Said the small one.
"Yeah a lesson hehe, you're the smart boss." Said one of the bigger men.
"Shud up you bonehead." And the small one hit the big one on the head ... somehow.
Sunset took a deep breath, it's not like she wasn't expecting the other shoe to drop at least she now can work out her ... frustrations ...
"Well if you are so nice to teach me a lesson let me answer with a lesson of my own." She opened her left palm which ignited with a red glow.
"Manners..." All doors in the room slammed shut surrounded by the same glow.
"Maketh..." Her right fist sparked with electricity and all window shudders slammed down with a metallic sound.
"Mare." All light in the room turned off leaving the room in darkness in which the only things visible were levitating metal bat and a hand surrounded by the same glow, the other hand sparking with electricity, a weak pinkish glow hidden behind a blouse, and two teal eyes glowing with barely restrained malice.
Twilight and Martin were worried about their friend and so hacked the local monitoring system to check if all is alright (it's not like something that the city could buy would stop them for more than two to three minutes). From the speakers flowed sounds of very violent beating and maniacal laughter. Both Martin and Twilight watched the carnage, blushed... and they both started making notes for their respective bullies.
Nerissa having a break in her plans choose to scry the interesting girl that helped enlight her about ... different methods. The jewel in her precious artifact was filled with images and sounds of vicious comeuppance.
" ... is it weird that I find this very hot?" Asked Nerrisa.
"I don't know my lady but I think so too...' Answered Shadon.
On the way home from work Susan Vandom suddenly felt very smug and shouted. "That's my sweetie."Needless to say, some people were ignoring the weird lady next to a car.
At the time of beating in the Equestrian capital Canterlot ... well there was a panic amongst the nobility. Maddened kinship laughter from some of the unicorn teachers from Celestia's school isn't anything new, they are known for being ... batty. But when during a court meeting Princess Celestia suddenly started cackling like it is time for a second prench revolution (Known in history as a veeeery bad time to be nobility) and Princess Luna hearing this laughter only said "Finally..." and has gone to sharpen executioner axe ... well needless to say that smarter nobles choose to run screaming "THE END IS NEIGH".
At the same time, the same kind of laughter was emanating from the castle of friendship in Ponyville, but the only reaction from citizens was shrugging and saying it was late by three hours...
After all, it was Tuesday...
About half an hour later Sunset Shimmer was skipping to her home with a very wide grin on her face, having worked out all her frustrations from the past weeks. Needless to say, the sight of a normally grouchy girl caused some worry for neighbors that wisely choose to stay a couple of days in their homes and not antagonize possible psychopath.
At the same time gang members that were taken by ambulance were very adamant saying that it was the bear that mauled them. After all, saying that you ganged up on a single girl was a straight ticket to prison but being beaten by a said girl was suicide for reputation...
So here I am awaiting crucification for bad writing
11490334 Pffft...bad writing? I think it's a heck of a lot better than mine.
The City Musical
I really loved this and the interaction between Knickerbocker and Celestia was awesome with Celestia having a recording of what Knickerbocker was doing is priceless. Suuuuuure Celestia, just a reminder, mhmm. Not that I blame her, it's also nice to have blackmail material for rival principals.
Horse Style
This has to be my favorite of the three, I loved how Susan actually went ahead and tried it it instead of just discounting it. I find it even better that it worked miracles and the little bit of horse face irony was so good. I never really thought about horse shampoo but I can easily see it happening as it would probably be cheaper in the long run and with Sunset's limited budget she would be all the happier even after being ecstatic at finding her normal brand in the human world.
The Kingsmare
This one almost ties as my favorite with the last one, and really made me laugh which I truly needed so thank you very much. I love how Sunset dealt with them and really loved all the witnesses be it from spying through hacking, just motherly feelings or magical intuition. I can so see Luna as an executioner, she is one of my top five ponies and yet I can see her doing some really psychotic stuff yet one of the ponies I don't like much I just can't imagine doing anything like that. Sometimes I wonder if I'm messed up lol. And Sunset, my absolute favorite EG, is another one I can see being psychotic.
Really loved all three of them, thank you so much for posting them. As I said I think this is actually much better writing than my own, you did an awesome job so have a moostache and a troll.
11490383
... well in words of true excitment :
11490394
I really love that lol.
