So you know my whole reign of terror, brainwashing yadda yadda. What most people don't know is I had a secret protégé that I showed how to manipulate and cause chaos in my favor. Not even Snips and Snails knew about her. Now that I'm reformed and all, it's my goal to help Diamond Tiara change too.

So the Musical Showcase is coming up at my school. Everyone has a band, including my friends. I still haven't been invited and I don't think I deserve to just ask to join so I'm gonna go out and look for my own band. If only I knew the girls who answered my ad were my rivals.

I hate depression. It randomly comes and goes, even with my medication it can still get bad. This time, it's doubts about my classmates. Yeah sure, I defeated the sirens with the Rainbooms and I'm widely accepted by the school allegedly. I can't help but feel that they still secretly despise me from time to time. I know that's my mind being stupid but I've come up with a test to guarantee we are true friends and the school truly trusts me. But first, I'll need some help.

Ever since she arrived in the human world, Sunset bullied and blackmailed her way to the top of the high school food chain. After her defeat at the Fall Formal, she was ready to be insulted and mistreated. She's stunned to find her classmates are actually being nice to her instead.

Starlight still isn't entirely sure she belongs in Ponyville after her whole change the past plan goes poorly. It takes a strong pony to realize that sometimes you can't help everypony and Twilight realizes this. She sends Starlight to a bar to meet a friend and hopes she didn't make a mistake sending her student to the most bitter pony she knows.

This story is a sequel to Family Trip

Sunset and Spitfire used to be close before having a falling out. Having recently reconnected, the two sisters are closer than ever along with their brother Sunburst. When Sunset gets told Spitfire needs surgery after a flying accident, Sunset reconnects with the last pony she expected.

I had a decent life after the Fall Formal and the Battle of the Bands. Then some stupid Lifeinvader account ruined everything. It only took one post for everyone to be whispering about who it was, two for the school to blame me, three for my friends to abandon me. If only I knew I was going to form an uneasy alliance with some girls I once called enemies. But at least they believe I'm innocent.

Sour Sweet never really cared about anyone except herself and beating Canterlot High of course. After the Friendship Games, she slowly but surely turned herself around and even made a few friends. When she prepares to leave lunch for her next class, she rescues a fellow classmate from a crime, leading to Sour to doubt everything about herself.

Needles. Everyone has different views on them. Some like them, some are okay and some fucking hate them. I'm the last group. I absolutely hate needles ever since I was a filly. I can't describe the feeling I get when I see one. How drug addicts can regularly shoot up, I'll never know. So why exactly did I agree to donate blood again?

I'm Moondancer, friend of Princess Twilight. Yeah that surprised me too. Especially after she abandoned me and my party but water under the bridge as ponies say. My friends, Minuette and the others in Canterlot decided it would be prudent to visit an orphanage in town and make the fillies and colts happy since Hearths Warming is coming up in a few months. Everything changed when I meet a filly who is scarily like me. Better question is why do I feel this way?
