With only four weeks left till the end of year exams, Sonata has but no choice; she must improve her grades and pass her tests, or she'll be forced to redo the year. But despite her amazing memory, with her lack of focus, she won't have much of a chance. But thanks to Vice Principal Luna, she won't have to go at it alone.

Princess Celestia has three bright fillies that she took in as her students. One will become a crazed unicorn bent on her views, one would transfer to another dimension, and the third would follow the destiny set out for her from the start. Over time, they become the best of friends. Can Twilight keep them close enough to eventually bring them back?

Sunset Shimmer's experiencing a night of living hell. Thankfully, Twilight Sparkle shows up and lends a comforting shoulder to lean on.

My name is Kaen Gold I was just looking at new spell books all was good and fun, but the day I open the oldest spell book in my collection of books changed everything.

The next thing I know I'm on the floor with a fire mane and a familiar looking alicorn towering over me calling my Sunset Shimmer.

Now Life is going to get interesting.

This story is a sequel to Rise of the Maximals

While not quite yet the third anniversary of Equestria Girls, a third year is still a third year.

With the Pony Sunset Shimmer still living in Equestria in the New Timeline, you wouldn't think that magic would wind up into the Human World in the New Timeline right?

Not according to Discord and Screwball. Forming a new antagonist for their sake, Roma Candle as they call her accidentally wound up in the Crystal Empire. Knowing the potential of magic in this world, she steals the crown, sending it to an unknown world.

Twilight has three days to recover her missing headpiece. But even when she finds friends there, can our fabled princess accomplish her mission this Timeline as she has done in the Old Timeline? Or will she be doomed to wait another thirty moons?

Rated Teen for language and events of peril.

Takes place in the New Timeline after the chapter One Shall Rise.

Synopsis

Greed strengthens a dragon. But what of the opposite? Spike feels a little bit of himself broken away with each passing day as Rarity flaunts her newfound love with another stallion. But that's the least of his troubles. A formal gala for which he is the guest of honour quickly approaches. With the relationship between the Council of Friendship and the nobles of Equestria at stake, he is certain this gala could only end in a big political disaster. Enter Princess Luna, cunningly disguised as the sweet elegant mare by his side, intent on turning him from a laughingstock into the star of the show. But jealousy and misfortune swiftly strike, leaving Luna permanently stuck in her disguise. Together they must maintain their cover until they somehow figure out how to fix everything. As the days pass, as the 'one more day's turn into a week, they slowly come to a startling realization - Perhaps there is nothing to fix?

'We’re taken on an adventure, and if I dare say, we aren’t just told the damn story. We’re allowed to experience it. Spike has a moment, and I feel warmth. Luna tosses off the royal baggage, and I feel the feels. This is a great and glorious orchestration in romance...' - Wing

'Bravo! Bravo! ...I'm not into Romance stories because I don't really like them at all but this story here...This is my favorite!' - PlatinumPony

'I don't think I can accurately express how much I truly enjoy this story, right now. When the characters are happy, I'm happy. When they're not, I'm not. It's all so perfectly done that it's like I'm living the story instead of merely just reading it off a page. This already wins first place for most adorable story I have ever read...' - Drgnwolf

'Oh my Gods the feels! I smiled, laughed, got very angry and very sad all in one chapter! Please oh please complete this awesome tale soon! The suspense is killing me!' - Wiriamuzu

'I always wait until a story is finished before thinking about adding it to my favorites. Always. I have never added a story to my favorites before it's finished. This story is the one exception.' - Jomp

'Yeah. You just made a grown-ass man make a 'squee' sound.' - HoneyBadgerr

'Of all the stories I've read I can safely say that this is the one that best combines the written word with sound and music, there are plenty that have tried the same and not even come close to what you achive here.' - Lore

'This is the greatest story I have ever read. This is also now my favorite story. If you don't upload another chapter soon I will wait patiently until you do. I will climb mountains for this story. I will go to Disney Channel.com without my parents permission for this story. If i don't finish this story, i will write down in my will for someone to finish it for me. You, ascended pony writer from a land where the pigeons poop gold, are the greatest person in history.' - Blooming Cherries

'I am loving this story so far. The storytelling, the drama... oh it is so magnificent. A well crafted story by a well deserving author. I tip my hat to you sir. I can see some form of "Beauty and the Beast" in here. But what also surprises me is the way it is written. I've even had some moments of portraying Spike as Holden Caulfield from the famous story, The Catcher in the Rye. Just the way he speaks sort of reminds me of the way that poor man was, and the bits of Spike not wanting to detach from Rarity felt similar in the regards of Holden not wanting to grow up. Again, Pen Mightier, you have done a great job. Keep up the great work!' - XxEpsilonxX

'My cheeks hurt because I been smiling all the way down the chapter. Princess Luna really is the best pony.' - Allen Vth

Following the events of Mirror Gem, a severely injured Lapis Lazuli finds herself, alone and afraid, in the heart of Canterlot City. And the only one who can help her is the one girl in town that she despises the most: Sunset Shimmer. Can Lapis overcome her hatred of Sunset in order to survive? Can Sunset reach this broken bird's heart and heal her soul? What other threats will follow these two strange bed fellows in Lapis's quest to find her place in the universe? And is the home Lapis seeks closer than she thinks?

Crossover with Steven Universe. Features: crossover shipping, EQG shenanigans, eventual character death, and a slight possibility of misunderstood liquid physics.

If Twilight never became a princess, then how was Sunset reformed?

Seeing as how the human world is Equestria's garbage dump, that isn't a big problem. There is another "good" Equestrian in the human world, and her name is Evening Star.

This story is a side story to my story Lovely Chaos, just so you could see what was going on in the human world. You don't have to read Lovely Chaos to get this.

Twilight hasn't really been responding to her mother's letters. It wasn't really her fault, there was so much going on in the meantime! She thought she could have swept it under the rug, but now they're going to visit?! What's a mare to do?!

An appropriately apologetic fic to MustacheMerlin.
