Concepts from this canceled sequel will be written instead into the Pony-Me™ reboot, as part of an overhaul to the overall plot.

Elise Fairchild is a pretty standard nerdy girl, by all accounts. She's got smarts, (a couple) friends, and some great mentors, to top it all off. But, there's one more thing that sets her apart from the rest: one of her mentors is Twilight Sparkle herself.

Lisa Garnet's seen quite a bit over the past few years. She'd woken up from a simulated Equestria, just to give an idea of things. Though, while saying goodbye to the world she knew and loved certainly was hard at first, she eventually came to fully embrace the one she now lives in. Too bad life just doesn't leave her alone.

Being a direct sequel, it is highly recommended that you read the original first.

Just like the original, this story is based on a chapter from What If.

A rewrite of the legacy edition of this story.
