For the first time in a long time, the Apple Family Reunion is being held somewhere other than Sweet Apple Acres. Big Mac decides this is his chance to finally have some time to himself and volunteers to stay behind to look after the homestead. But time alone doesn't mean that the chores can be ignored.

Berry Punch has had her eye on a certain stallion for a while now, and with his family out of the way, it's the perfect chance to test the waters.

Octavia and Vinyl have been dating for months, but neither has had a chance to introduce their significant other to their families. Vinyl always dodges the issue, but when Octavia is insistent, they have a fight. This leaves Vinyl with no other option than to have Octavia over to meet her parents.

Maybe she should have told Octavia who she really was?

Despite how kind and caring Princess Celestia seems to be, Twilight Sparkle constantly worries about displeasing her. From her nightmares of returning to Magic Kindergarten, to being sent to a dungeon, to banishment; there is no punishment that Twilight cannot imagine.

But why is Twilight so afraid of her teacher? Where did this paranoia come from and what secrets has Celestia kept from the rest of Equestria?

Taking place before the Return of NightMare Moon, this story will finally shed light on exactly why Twilight fears the teacher she claims to love so very much.

There's an old adage passed around that you don't come between a mother and her children. Nowhere in Equestria is this more applicable than where a Changeling Queen is concerned. The ferocity with which they will defend their children is unparalleled. There are no regrets. There are no restraints. But then...

What would you do if you had hundreds of children?

And what would you do if suddenly, there was another Queen between you and your children?
