Sometimes, those missions are filled with action and danger, romance and violence.

Other times, they involve freezing your flanks on a park bench, waiting to see if a promised defector shows up bearing the state secrets Equestria would very much like to get their hooves on...

The time has come for Celestia to have a one-to-one lesson with her personal protege, Twilight Sparkle. She is, no doubt, a bright young unicorn and it doesn't take her long to understand the overall concept of the teleportation and transfiguration spell. That is not to say the lesson went perfectly well as Twilight's magic takes a haywire spin and does things unimaginable coming from a foal.

Ponies say that the beauty of Celestia is unrivaled, but Twilight has a different opinion. Luna explains the origins of the stars, and Twilight learns to craft them.

By this point in their relationship, Twilight is more than accustomed to Luna's mischievous proclivities. So when Luna asks for Twilight's help acquiring a present for her sister, barely an eyebrow is raised. Not even when it's mere minutes before present opening time at a Hearth's Warming Eve party.

That is, until she finds out where this very special present resides.
