A little story I used to put my headcanon about how time works between the main series and the Equestria Girls sub-series. It's a discussion of why Sunset is so young despite being older than Princess Twilight, as well as why timeliness don't always match up between the two.

After a long day of school and work, Sunset Shimmer just needs to unwind. Fortunately for her, her demonic counterpart is willing to help.

Celestia has always wondered why Twilight never replied to most of her letters. Fortunately Luna breaks the news 'gently'.

A rather silly idea that popped into my head this afternoon. I make no apologies.

Edit: As a few people pointed out, the title was really giving the story away; I've changed it on their (sound!) advice.

DJ-P0N3.Exe is no longer responding. Thankfully, Octavia Melody has an extended warranty.

Sunset decides to dress up as a demon for a Nightmare Night party. Her fellow students don't handle it all that well and now Sunset has to deal with her unwanted reign.

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.

I saw the art and knew I had to write this...

Update 3/19/2021: _{A couple days after publishing this story, and after Fluttershy injected a hacking payload into the mainframe utilizing a quantum subspace frequency modulation algorithm, we were able to access hidden meta-data for this data endpoint and successfully remove ourselves from the causality loop. I am writing this message to preserve our efforts before we sever the connection, in the off chance that something like this ever happens again. With Love and Friendship, Twilight Sparkle.}

She really should've expected these results.

Now featuring a reading by StraightToThePoint Studio! Thank you to them.
