Newcomers, welcome! Confused on the order of this story series? Look no further!

Part 1 (You are here):
Forgotten

Part 2:
Forgotten: The Frozen North

From here the story divides into two separate versions, no spoilers aside from what can be gleamed from the titles.

Part 3a:
Forgotten: Sunrise
Forgotten: Mists of Bridlewood (Currently in progress)

Part 3b:
Forgotten: The Crystal Princess

Sunny is careful to use her new abilities and influence only to help others. But even so, she notices everypony in town is increasingly tense and fearful around her. And then she finds out why...

Pipp finds something hilarious. She really, really wants to keep it.

"Rule number one." Pipp put on an uncharacteristically serious face. "Your fans cannot be your friends."

Sunny blinked. "What?"

"Oh here we go," Zipp muttered to herself.

Pipp doesn't want to return to her old life, and, after everything that's happened, she doesn't think it's possible anymore. What does the future hold?

It's a brand new day for Sunny Starscout and her friends, the magic of Equestria restored and the tribes united, it was new chapter in the lives of the mane 5. What better way to enjoy your hard work than enjoying it with your friends?

That is what would've happened, if it weren't for a strange statue appearing out of nowhere. Now pushed to play a tempting game with a creature of chaos, Sunny and friends will have to accept just to win a prize that could be a one in lifetime chance.

Post Mlp New Generation, spoilers of course.

Pipp invites her friends over to try Surströmming for the first time and film a viral video. Fermented fish is one of her favorite snacks, and it's renowned for its pungent odor. It goes exactly how Pipp had hoped.

Now with a Youtube reading and not just one but two written reviews!

This is an entry in the Snippet Series, an anthology of old oneshots that I (and my good buddy Str8aura) wrote based around interesting pics I found. New ones will be posted every other Thursday for the foreseeable future.

Thanks to the heroics of Sunny Starscout, Hitch Trailblazer, Izzy Moonbow, Zipp Storm and Pipp Petals, magic has at long last returned to the land, and after many many years apart, earth ponies, unicorns and pegasi no longer live in abject fear of each other. However, there’s still one big loose end Sunny has to tie up. All it took was one little question from her new friends about her old foalhood friend Sprout Cloverleaf.

"So... you weren't going to tell me?" The pink pegasus had tears in her eyes, feeling like a tiny filly again as she looked up at her mother.

"Dearest..." There was sorrow in Queen Haven's eyes, and Pipp didn't even need to hear what she'd say next. She already knew she was right. But her mother spoke anyway. "Before today, it wouldn't have mattered."
