After talking to her daughter, Twilight remembers her past. She remembers how each of her friends left, and how she would do anything to see them again.

First story I have written in a long time. Celestia has been studying warp travel and extraequestrial life. She commissions the mane six for command of her starship, the E.S.S. Everfree. They get into all sorts of trouble, meet new species, and boldly go where no pony has gone before. Warning, it may get a little dark at somepoints.
