This story is a sequel to How Love Works

Now that Queen Chrysalis is dead, the monarchy restored, and our royal couple both alive —because desert god is OP— New Hiveland will continue its forever peaceful existence until the end of time.
But when an old comrade resurfaces, after leaving the armed forces a few years back, and then running away from her home while her mother was training our beloved guard, she brings a few "friends", and peace is rapidly pushed to the back of everypony's mind.
How will our intrepid —so, not me— heroes respond to this threat?

Rated teen for crude humor, legal technicalities, and moderate cursing.
