My Little Pony: Equestria Girls - Sunset's Backstage Pass

Plot

The Starswirled Music Festival is in full swing, with thousands of ponies from all corners of Equestria descending upon the venue to immerse themselves in a day of music, art, and magic. The Mane 7, led by Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Spike, Pinkie Pie, and Sunset Shimmer, has set up a cozy 'glamping' zone amidst the festival chaos. The two most excited ponies, Sunset and Pinkie, can't wait to witness the legendary "Sonic Rainboom" performance by their favorite band, 'The Rainbooms'. As the main event begins to unfold, a sudden disruption shakes the air. Celestia, the radiant princess of the sun, appears on stage with an announcement that the festival has been affected by an unexpected surge of magical energy originating from the Crystal Empire. This magical force causes time to stall, freezing the moment at hand and plunging the Mane 7 into an unpredictable and seemingly endless time loop. Sunset, with Pinkie by her side, finds herself stuck in the beginning of the time loop, reliving the same day repeatedly, with events unfolding in exactly the same sequence. Every time the loop resets, Sunset experiences brief flashes of insight as she tries to understand how to break the cycle and rescue her friends from this perpetual 'Groundhog Day'. However, every single attempt at intervening or trying new things seems futile. Time, in the form of Celestia's message, remains unchanging. It starts to get really frustrating for Sunset as every passing loop brings no change in events. Despite this relentless repetition, Sunset never loses focus on her resolve to break free and help her friends enjoy the festival. Throughout the time loop, the other Mane 6 friends appear oblivious to the repeated day. Pinkie and Sunset try numerous times to inform and wake their friends up to what's happening but every attempt ends up in failure, and every time, the scene seems like they never had the conversation before. Spike's curiosity, however, gets slightly piqued, and in a moment of insight, he remembers that, back in a previous loop, Pinkie pie once asked him for help. In a moment of inspiration, Spike makes a crucial decision that will determine whether they finally break the time loop and can return to enjoying the festival. In the climax of the story, Spike takes action and shares a crucial piece of information on how to stop the time loop with Sunset. With newfound determination, the Mane 7 works together to break free from the endless repetition. Ultimately, the festival day comes to an end with "Sonic Rainboom" successfully accomplished and 'The Rainbooms' performance celebrated by the Mane 6.
