This story is a sequel to Smolder gets arrested
Sandbar did not expect to spend his summer break in tense political negotiations, but here he is. Fighting not only against experienced and manipulative politician on the other side of negotiating table, but also his own doubts and low self-esteem.
Out of these two, politicians may prove to be easier opponents.

I will answer all your comments later (it's literally middle of the night here where I live XD), but I just wanted to say something before sleep.
Getting a comment mere minutes after posting a story? Priceless. Thank you.
Who's sandstream?
Whoa that escalated really quickly
11492418
Yeah my notification went off and I saw your thing and I just starting reading it and no worries take your time
😡
Oh wow nice to see the Journal of friendship for better or worse like what happened back in the fame and misfortune
I mean you can still look them up but also try doing your best what you're good at I guess that's the lesson of it
So we finally got to sandbars summer vacation and again change of plans of his vacation so he was on his way home he kind of wished to hang out with his friends but they all went home as well for the summer so he decided to do the same and he he's been having some confident issues lately but when he finally stopped at a city called Rockville he was trying to get something to eat and drink until he saw a pony who looks pretty down so Sandbar goodness of his heart to see if he can cheer him up and this Pony name Silver Spirit told him that he's doing a diplomatic treating with the Buffaloes and apparently sandbar tried to do his part despite how much this guy thinks how the elements of harmonies can do anything without anybody's help which this guy also has some confident issue as well so the conference was going on and it did not go very well and even the guy thinks that Sandbar was a joke and you're saying that to a kid that's kind of harsh now he's been having really conflict about himself how he could not be in the same level as his friends but then when he saw the Journal of friendship he has some idea and even remembering the lesson that he told silver spirits about not everybody can succeed in a day or even they failed and the conflict sometimes solve itself without the help of The Elements of Harmony and sometimes you just had to do your best of your own skills and how things work and somehow it really worked between the Buffaloes and the ponies in the city and they celebrated and it looks like the kids really have a very interesting summer vacation indeed especially they had to stop a major war between two lands or multiple and coming together even though the main six has to kind of fix this as well I really felt bad for the girls but at least the kids really did an amazing job and how much they took the lessons from heart and I really like that but meanwhile across the Equestria apparently there was a princess name Lycklig came to this land and seek out for help or anything to help her country boy this is a pretty good setup I wonder how this will work on I guess that's another story this was pretty good keep up the good work
They even sang a rather catchy song about that.
So wait, where is Sandbar living? I thought he canonically lived locally in Ponyville.

It is a running theme in this series that no one of Student Six believes others could have these adventures too. But somehow, every single one of them had an amazing summer trip somewhere. What a coincidence, right? ;).
He will play his part, for sure. He's just a little bit insecure, being surrounded by all these amazing creatures.
They do. But for people with low self-esteem, it's sometimes hard to believe it. I can sadly relate a lot.
A result of not good enough proofreading, and lack of beta reader. Fixed. Typo, that is, still lack a beta reader and I think I could use one... I'll probably announce I need one soon and see if anyone's willing to lend a hand.
Eyup. He was already angry, and seeing Sandbar in just situation just made him almost explode. Misunderstanding, as we see later.
Thanks! I must say, it was an amazing thing, seeing all these comments moments after posting. I fell asleep really happy tonight :).
Fame and Misfortune is such a controversial episode sometimes (although these days it seems much better then when it first appeared...). I must say that I personally liked it, although I can also see why a lot of people didn't, and it fit the story perfectly here. Mane Six themselves do not want to be seen as infallible heroes, and the Journal is popular enough to be accessible in most places. It helped a lot, as you can see.
Yep. Lamenting that you're not number 1 and 'the' best ever isn't going to get you that far. But if everyone just tried to be the best they can be, things would be so much better for them and everyone else.
Thank you! And you will see the Princess Lyckling in the next story when I post the first chapter, hopefully soon :).

Flaweless is such a good song. It's a shame Fame and Misfortune is such a controversial episode, I personally love it (but can see why a lot of people don't). But even aside from the episode, the song itself is great., and I was really happy to mention it here.
Not that is a question. We have one mention of him living in Ponyville, but we also see him board the train for winter holidays in Best Gift Ever. There are some theories that he moved recently, but in general we don't really know.
In the end, I decided that I needed Student Six to have adventures outside Ponyville, so it was logical that Sandbar goes 'home' to visit some relatives. And then the story happens.
In fact, we know very little about Sandbar. We don't know anything about his family, cutie marks, and barely anything about him in general. If I ever write more about him, I will probably expand his backstory and character a little here and there, but there is very little canonical information there.
Thank you for the comment, posting stories before sleep and then waking up to all these comments is a really nice feeling :).

We actually have two mentions of him living in Ponyville--in season eight's School Daze, then again in season nine's Uprooted, where it's reminded that he lives "locally." The comics also verbally confirm he lives in Ponyville. In any case, I've never seen it disputed before that he lived anywhere but Ponyville.
But I suppose for the purposes of your story, it does make sense he needed a reason to, y'know, get out of Ponyville, so...

Well, that's on me then, I must have missed this when doing research for the chapter. Thanks for correcting me!
But yeah, in this story he lives outside of Ponyville. As you said, I kinda needed him to go somewhere, and so he went south.
Oh I see you rated the sequel to m which I probably cannot because this is how far I go with the reading because I'm not really into those type of stories of super violence and one of those NSFW which I do not like so yeah I cannot read the sequel sorry basically my rating is e or t because I can't go beyond that

It's not gonna have any sex-related stuff, and M-rating is more because of it being a little scary then any gratuitous violence. If you can stomach the beach scene from Ocellus story, then you can probably stomach that one as well, it's just a little bit scarier.
But if not, that's also fine! Thank you for being with me for these stories, and hope to see your comments again one day :).
