Thank you to everyone who has read this. I never thought this would happen and am honored beyond words.

One thousand years ago, Luna was taken over by Nightmare Forces and sent to the moon. She left her sister, their parents and a two week old daughter behind.

Now the seal is about to break and Nightmare Moon will be free once more. Will Twilight be able to free her mother from the Nightmare's grasp?

*WARNING* The Prologue has a death scene in it. I haven't selected the "Death" tag because the description isn't graphic at all . . . and there is none of that in the rest of the story.

If the author asks, I will take it down.

The past couple months have been hard on Twilight; she's taken to living in Canterlot Castle to ensure she can truly fulfill her role as a Princess of Equestria. However, the longer she's there, away from her friends, the more she realizes what her life is missing. She has status and friendship, but still she has troubles sleeping as a loneliness clings to her heart. Perhaps she's missing something.

And maybe a friend who shares a similar situation can shed some light on her problems sleeping.

Enter Rainbow Dash, a mare at the top of her world in every way. And yet, in the best hotels the Wonderbolts can buy, she finds the large beds just a little bit too empty to fall asleep.

An influx of weather duties has left Rainbow Dash more overworked and exhausted than ever. With no funds to go on a proper vacation to blow off steam, Rainbow is trapped in a endless cycle of waking up, going to work, and going to sleep.

When Rainbow's responsibilities make even flying no longer fun, Twilight offers to let her stay at the library for an all-expenses paid staycation. Though a little unsure, it doesn’t take much convincing from Twilight for Rainbow to change her mind. Expecting to just find some peace and quiet for a few days, Rainbow finds that and much more.

Stella F. Sabre. An upstanding member of Princess Luna's Night Guard. A mare of the most profane lexicon in all of Equestria and self proclaimed sexiest mare alive.

She is also embroiled in a lifelong prank war with her boss, the aforementioned Princess Luna.

After one such prank, Luna decides to up the game and really stick it to the batpony. By using a spell that makes Stella irresistibly drawn...

To hugging.

Everyone.

Stella is not amused.

- To be honest, I can't remember what brought this idea about. It's sat in my 'to-do' box for nearly two years I think. Then one day I got a little inspired and finished it.

I will ABSOLUTELY blame Flammenwerfer for this however.

Rated Teen for Stella.

Celestia called Twilight to the palace, to help her sister Luna who is lonely... Well that's what she wanted her to think.

Twilight Sparkle is Princess Celestia's personal student, tinkerer, philosopher, arcanosmith, and more. What she is not, however, is one to give up on a good mystery. Especially when her attempts to put it off are met with strange dreams and vague hints.
If only she didn't have to do this alone. Well, that's what the young inventor thought.
