Luna is on her way to visit Celestia, but hears her squealing for someone to 'stop!'

She walks in on Twilight on top of a red-faced Celestia, and the two of them react like guilty teenagers. Just what the buck is going on here?!

When an earth pony befriends a pegasus, there are some places they can't follow.

Pinkie Pie has an existential crisis while painting her room. This self-parody is dedicated to Professor Piggy, who once told me that I could write a story about Pinkie watching paint dry and weave it into an incredible psychological journey. Let's see if he was right.

Let me give this to you straight. I'm a doctor. My title says 'Nurse', but I'm a doctor. I deal with sick and injured ponies daily, and give both treatment and advice to them with trust and confidence. That includes a certain six friends and their own medical needs.

If the rest of Equestria actually knew that disaster was one missed pill away, I don't think 'riots in the streets' would be sufficient to cover it. But I'm bound by Doctor/Patient Confidentiality, so I guess I'm the thin red line between civilization, and eternal enslavement by some horror from beyond.

That eternal enslavement thing sounds better every day, mind you.

Upon promptly marrying Princess Luna after a delightful whirlwind relationship, Twilight Sparkle finds herself pondering and caught in the webs of the past. What should be the happiest time of her life turns out to be one of the most stressful, but why is this so?

The answer lies in what she thought would be a secret she could keep.

Music is life. Life is pain. And dreams are for rookies.

When Princess Luna created the Tantabus years ago, she had no idea what she was truly creating. She created an intelligent creature, fully sapient. The Tantabus has wants and desires, hopes and dreams, fears and worries.

But it does not think like we do. It never did, and it never will.

It is fully aware, with the exact same feelings as we do, and we will never understand it.

In the wake of the Canterlot Wedding, Fluttershy has to ask Twilight a very difficult question.

No, wait, strike that. Reverse it.

NOTE: Not related to the Luna's Librarian / Rustic & Romantic / If the Flight Suit Fits continuity. Originally this was an Alternate Universe fork from Egghead and Featherbrain, but is now a separate story entirely.

Since The Friendship Games, Sunset and Twilight now have something in common: Magical transformations, an experience unlike any other that they both endured. Twilight now feels inclined to share her feelings about the matter. Though the circumstances were different and their reasons even more so, they can agree on one thing....
