There really is no excuse for forgetting something as important as a hoof-written law. But Celestia forgot. And now, a thousand years after she wrote it, a law comes into play mandating that Celestia take a two-month sabbatical from her duties as Princess of Equestria.

So what happens when she has to step down for a couple months and leave Luna by herself in the bloody gladiator ring that is Equestrian politics? What happens when Celestia has to disguise herself and mingle with the populace of Ponyville without them knowing?

The short answer to that would be "a string of hilarious chance encounters, sisterly banter, romantic mishaps, and a political coup that was decades in the making."

The long answer, of course, is this story.

Twilight loves to learn. When she asks to study abroad, Luna is quite happy to send her to a place full of new information and a rich history that is irreversibly entwined with Equestria's: the moon.

Twilight now has has a veritable smorgasbord of information in front of her: The story of Nightmare Moons' imprisonment, the truth behind various questions about the moon, the odd natives...

Oh, yes, there's life on the moon. Highly eccentric life that Twilight is going to have to live alongside, cooperate with, befriend, and otherwise not be driven mad by. How long will Twilight be able to stay, and how many dark secrets can she find in that time?
