Celestia has had many protégés in her time, but none were ever quite as disasterous as Aurora Star. An attempt to teach her young student the value of friendship results in the disclosure of secrets best left kept and a serpentine plot to rediscover a long-forgotten magic.

Along to witness it all: the retired Admiral Sea Fair, a stallion who should have embodied the Element of Loyalty.

DISCLOSURE
This story is written with no regard to seasons four through nine. I haven't seen them for the most part, and what I have seen I don't enjoy. Keep that in mind as you read.
