Spike has been hatched, and a young Twilight Sparkle has gone home for the day after doing it. A few weeks are left before school begins, and it's up to Celestia to care for the young dragon, and in doing so heal some old wounds.

Commission for Yosh E-0

Spike finally lays down for a well-earned nap. His friends say 'good night'.

Hospitals can be dark places; full of bustling activity and apathy more than care and healing. At least, it feels that way to Granny Smith sometimes. No doctor in Equestria, even the kindest one, can fix what happened or fill the hole it left.

The dead, however, sometimes leave gifts behind.

It's the oldest chocolate shop in Equestria, the very first -- and on this night, it's also out of business. The final treats have been sold, the vultures have already begun to circle the equipment, and the proprietor polishes the remains out of pure habit while wondering what to do with her life. But that question will have to wait, as she has one more customer to take care of.

The very first.

This story is a sequel to One Last Song

On Mother's Day , those mares who are mothers' tend to enjoy being pampered by their foals or significant others. However...sometimes a Mother can't escape the knowledge that...their little one can't celebrate with her.

On a clear spring night in Ponyville, when the chirping of early cicada and flutter of dandelion seeds gives way to the lovesong of crickets and the tantalizing elixir of jasmine and lilac, one can see clear to the spires of Canterlot high above. These are nights without fear, where boogeymen take the evening off to play at hackey sack in the thickets, and foals leave their bedroom windows open to giggle away their thoughts of tomorrow while the warm breeze kisses their cheeks goodnight.

On one such night, He who is called Regret stabs a restless mare deeply. With the help of a motherly friend, she will confront Him once and for all.

The songs appearing in this story feature original lyrics adapted from the following sources:
1: "Vinny's Lullaby" Karman/Bagdasarian; 1985 (Performed by June Foray for the Alvin and the Chipmunks special: 'A Chipmunk Reunion'.)
2: "Dream a Little Dream of Me", Andre/Schwandt/Kahn; 1931 (Popularized by Mama Cass Elliot with the Mamas & the Papas; 1968.)

#1 was chosen for this story due to a fondness by the author. #2 was chosen because the author frequently sings it as a lullaby, too.
