Cheese Sandwich left Canterlot a few days later with his parents, who were very annoyed that he’d aged chronologically without their permission. He spent the summer in Manehattan, exploring the city and spending as much time playing music as he wanted to. He is currently a freshman at Pranceton University, which he’s enjoying a lot more than he thought he would. He texts Pinkie Pie a lot.

Pinkie Pie spent her summer creating ice cream cupcakes and having fun with her friends. She is now in her senior year at Canterlot High. She texts Cheese Sandwich a lot.

They are disgustingly happy.

Rainbow Dash took Scootaloo to Cowperstown.

Fluttershy went whale watching.

Applejack helped Big Mac rebuild the barn. She has plans for that barn.

Rarity began selling her line of fascinators on Etsy.

Sunset Shimmer returned to Canterlot, where she has become close friends with all of them.

The Cakes received an envelope containing two thousand dollars in cash and a note reading, “Trademark your business, stupid.” They took the advice. Sugarcube’s is now trademarked and registered, and doing extremely well; they are thinking about expanding.

Filthy Rich regrets Sugarcube’s as the one that got away, but it makes downtown Canterlot real estate much more valuable, and he’s pleased, because he owns so much of it.

Lightning Dust got in a bundle of trouble.

The Great and Powerful Trixie still dreams of fabulous success on the stage.

Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash are currently thinking a lot about their futures and planning what they intend to do after they graduate. They continue to have the sort of adventures girls do who are connected to uber-magical ponies with rainbow powers and who go to a high school with a supernatural portal. Or as Applejack likes to put it, “just a regular day around here, Sugarcube.”

To which Pinkie always replies, “Yes, indeedily!”

Author's Notes:

Well, it’s just in under the wire! I wasn’t sure I could do it. Lots of thanks to everybody who read and commented and gave an Equestria Girls fic a chance.

You probably noticed a lot of cross-pollination with my regular CheesePie stories.

Will there be a sequel? Maybe. It depends on whether or not I have time and what happens in Rainbow Rocks.

Anyway, I’ll be posting a few things on my blog later, where you can ask a bunch of questions about Pinkie, Cheese, and the fic.

And thanks again, everyone!
