Twilight Sparkle, the Solar Regent, was frustrated. She’d never had a chance against Nightmare Moon, and now she had to live with the consequences of her failure and the moon goddess on the throne beside her.

Shining Armor, Captain of the Royal Guard, was frustrated. His liege was gone. His marefriend was somewhere doing something. His sister was showing all the early warning signs of one of her infamous breakdowns. Worst of all, everypony was keeping secrets.

Sweetie Drops, Equestrian special agent, was frustrated. Work kept piling up, and there seemed to be more and more monsters to fight every day. She needed help.

Cadance, the Crystal Princess, was frustrated. Being somepony’s snack was beneath her, but needs must.

Tempest Shadow, wanderer, was frustrated. Why did life always insist on kicking her while she was down? If it wanted to maintain even the pretext of fairness, her next destination would be her last.

Luna, the Lunar Diarch, was delighted. Everything had gone perfectly since her return from exile.

Starlight and Trixie get drunk on Hearth's Warming Eve and complain about their problem with towns and the unwillingness they have to be taken over, among other unrelated things.

Trixie Lulamoon has never missed a show, but tonight seems different. Starlight Glimmer feels a worry in her gut for her friend.

And can you dry your tears
When the rain falls down in droves and droves
And can I be here for you
To let me hold you tight

Trixie has been best friends with Starlight Glimmer for months now, and the bond between them has never been stronger. But, after a bull-headed mistake and lack of critical thinking, Trixie manages to leave Starlight Glimmer angry and disappointed. Again.

Over the course of a single day, Trixie takes the steps to make things right between the two of them and, in doing so, instantly discovers some feelings inside of her that she never thought possible. Her best friend was kind, sweet, and yes, very hot. And now she was in love with her.

Greatly inspired by this amazing image by TheSoleil, as well as the brony song Seagulls by the illustrious FritzyBeat.

Trixie has been taking lessons from Starlight Glimmer on how to hone her magic into something more focused and malleable. However, it turns out that Trixie’s magic is too unstable for Starlight to handle. When Trixie sees Starlight’s outburst, she tries to make it up to her in the only way she knows how.

Starlight and Trixie are eating at a local restaurant when the former has a different magical cloud appear from her horn. When Starlight realizes what feeling is bringing this cloud, she knows it is something she must hide. But does she really need to?

Celestia and Luna have made up and Starlight Glimmer's first friendship mission was a success! However, not everything has turned out okay. Despite her best efforts and Luna's reassuring, Princess Celestia was unable to defeat Daybreaker in Starlight's nightmare and Starlight's psyche was damaged as a result.

Twilight, who blames herself, works to undo the damage and in the process, her true feelings make themselves known.

This is based off Luna’s statement about Starlight’s nightmare potentially harming her psyche. No idea why I’m writing this since I really didn’t like seeing Starlight suffer like that, especially when she broke down crying. And yet despite that I’m using it as the cover image. …Welp.

Note: Out of character behavior.

Starlight Glimmer trips, is thrust into indentured servitude, and falls for a madmare... in that order.

Rated T for some dark humor and stuff. Coverart is by probablyfakeblonde, but edited by me.Contribute to the TVTropes page! Now has a fantastic full-cast audio reading by Obabscribbler that you can enjoy right here! Recommended in this spoiler-y review by PresentPerfect!

A standalone Winningverse story.

Using a metaphor to do it? Sure, why not?
