Equestria has changed—and right now, ponykind is experiencing a jubilation it hasn't known for an uncountable number of moons.

But parties always end eventually—and the royals of Zephyr Heights know that sooner or later, they'll have to return home, as wanted mares.

If nothing else, it's a good idea to get themselves in order before they do.

Juniper Montage and Wallflower Blush get together in the local park for a walk. That's all.

...okay, maybe Wallflower might have asked to see Juniper for a special reason. And maybe they both need to get their minds off of crippling past regrets and relationship uneasiness.

But for now? Just walking.

Sunset Shimmer has decided: she's done.

A too-close encounter with the magic residing in herself and her companions has convinced her that it's possible to embrace too much, and she's no longer willing to accept the risks—be it for knowledge, heroics... or her friendship with the other girls.

As always, desperate times call for Rainbow Dash.

Since their ejection from the Wonderbolts Academy, Lightning Dust's and Rolling Thunder's lives have been ones of constant self-discovery and atonement.

On paper, this is good.

In practice, both of these things are constantly at odds with each other.

This was not written in the slightest for Oroboro's Super Sunset Shippers Brawl, but after looking over it again... meh, what the hell.

Sometimes, things don't turn out perfect like you wanted.
Sometimes, you make mistakes.
And when those mistakes cause you to turn in on yourself...

Sometimes, you need to find your family.

After the Starswirl Music Festival, Sunset Shimmer apologizes to Pinkie Pie for losing patience with her.

...at least, that had been the plan.

"Hey, it's Starlight. Meet me at your portal in an hour. I'm coming over."

Sunset Shimmer was enjoying a completely ordinary day when those words appeared in her journal.

Whether or not it will stay ordinary... well, they'll have to play that one by ear.

Not that she didn't appreciate it, but just watching Applejack put together an entire dressing room was a prime lesson on How to Exhaust Rarity In 73 Easy Steps.

Perhaps after some rest, however, she might have a better idea how to show said appreciation. The only wildcard, then, would be Applejack's reaction...

Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer have a leisurely talk on the couch about their day.

Historians will look back on it as the most important–and dangerous–event across two universes.
