A Shimmering New Year - Part One
Chapter One - Out With The Old...
It was dark. Not a frightening, terrifying sort of dark, thankfully, but still dark enough to make Fluttershy uneasy. It was a cold winter’s night, a few clouds drifting through the sky and a sea of stars overhead, the moon casting the area around Canterlot High in soft light.
She shivered as she approached the front entrance, the cold bitter despite her winter coat and her attempts at warming herself up by rubbing her arms. She wasn’t even sure why she was here, until she caught sight of a familiar figure at the side of the statue facing the front entrance.
“Sunset?” Sure enough

“AAAAAAAGGGHHHH!!!!”
Once again, Twilight Sparkle and Spike were falling out of a time loop conjured by Starlight Glimmer’s spell. It felt like hours ago when the two returned to their castle to find the devious unicorn had broken into their home. With the castle’s map and an altered time-travel spell of Star Swirl the Bearded, she created a time hole to take the three of them back to the most important date of Twilight’s life… The day Rainbow Dash

Inside the throne room sat the princesses, Celestia and Luna, engaged in a thrilling game of chess. Celestia and Luna had the white and black pieces respectively. Luna levitated her King from E2 to E3, but Celestia countered with her Bishop from E5 to D4.
“Check, dear sister,” Celestia beamed. Luna, not being very good at competitions, just tossed the board away and pouted. The sisters then shared a good laugh as they levitated the board and pieces back on the table.
Before they could play again, two guards trotted in, followed by SIX ponies and a baby dragon. “Your highness,” bowed the unicorn guard,

Another quiet day was all that could be heard around Princess Twilight Sparkle’s castle in Ponyville. Said princess was busy with one of her favorite pastimes, re-re-RE-organizing her entire collection of Daring Do novels.
“Good. Now first it’s the Sapphire Stone, then the Griffon’s Goblet–” Twilight paused, looking nervous. “Oh, I always have trouble with this next part because the Marked Thief of Marapore, The Eternal Flower, and the Forbidden City of Clouds were all published at the same time! Hmm… Maybe I sh

Chapter Four: A Night with Fluttershy
It had been a few days since Sunset Shimmer had earned her cutie mark, and she’d spent the time since then researching and practicing at any magic spell she could find, squirreled away in the bedroom she shared with Sunrunner. What time she wasn’t doing so was spent taking care of daily needs like food and drink, and of course the trips back and forth to the library. Having one only a few blocks away from her aunt’s house was a help, especially with her spells to help clear the way. She’d be studying as she went about other things, but alas, no reading at the table while t

“Well, sounds like y’all had a right pleasant evenin’.”
“We did, yes.” Fluttershy hoped that the embarrassed blush on her face wasn’t too obvious, given she’d woken up cuddling Sunset that morning as if she were a giant, warm teddy bear. “I do feel bad that she couldn’t stay with us longer, but we have so little room.”
“Good thing that won’t be a problem out at the farm.” Applejack followed her friend into the town’s animal shelter, taking a second as she entered the brightly-lit lobby to kneel down and gr

“Steady Benjamin, steady, I’m almost done.” A few more gentle wipes of the washcloth, and Sunset Shimmer pulled back and smiled gently at her subject, his eyes and nose cleaned of dirt and mucus. “There you go. How does that feel?” Benjamin sighed and nuzzled the girl before him, pleased with his grooming thus far. Sunset laughed, glad that the horse before her was taking so well to her efforts. Even if he and the other horses being raised at Sweet Apple Acres weren’t quite at her level, they obviously enjoyed being properly groomed as much as she did. “Well, I

“Wow. You two must have freaked out.”
Luna chuckled as she admitted, “We did, yes, and it took a little while to accept. A world of magical ponies, where my sister’s counterpart was not only their ruler, but over a millennium old? It sounded like something out of a children’s cartoon. I was glad to be told upfront about what happened to Princess Luna, mind, but the thought of something like that happening to me was frightening.” She made a small glance at her passenger. “I suspect you know it better than I would.”
“Maybe.” Sunset frowned as she reasoned, “Princess Lu

“Sister? You are being quite pensive.”
Celestia looked up from her breakfast, pancakes laced with crystal berries and lathered in thick syrup with a side of hay bacon, a cup of tea resting beside her main serving. Luna had a similar spread, some fruit on a plate between them already mostly gone thanks to one of their two tablemates. “Forgive me, Luna, but recent events have given me much to consider.” She looked back down upon her meal, spearing some of her pancakes with her fork as she continued, “My mistakes in particular.”

“Now darling, what precisely did you mean by ‘everything’?”
Sunset Shimmer smiled and assured her friends, “That was what Twilight said in her message. Princess Celestia wants to talk with us, and a few others, about everything. I’m guessing all the stuff that went down at the Fall Formal is part of it.”
Rarity pursed her lips as she pondered that while Sunset led them into the teacher’s lounge, Pinkie Pie dashing off to the vending machines for snacks. “Well, it’s no doubt important, and I don’t like the idea of turning down an audience with royalty.”
