It's do or die time.

Button doesn't get out much, but tonight he will. Tonight, he's going to party.

And, you know, resolve the hoard of personal issues he's built up in the past few years. Stuff involving his best friend and his own mind and the fact that he needs to be alone sometimes. But that'll be easy. He has a whole night to do it, right? He'll get it done. Hopefully.

Probably not.

Maybe.

One moment leads to another. There's a box sitting outside a house at night. It brings thoughts about the contents during the small hours and in time, there's a new kind of box. Something small, something which leads to little meetings in the dark.

The smallest things can change a life.

Sweetie Belle waits for Rarity to return from a trip to Canterlot. She is desperate for her sister to come home - and desperate for her to stay away, too.

What a mess.

After the Rainbow Festival, Rarity's got a bit on her mind, and that bit involves Kerfuffle, the talented pegasus who helped her with the festival's design. She, however, has been a bit distant in the hours since the party got underway.

This story is a sequel to Love Sickness

Love and relationships are never easy, so much commitment, stress, and care. Especially when you're stuck on a trip to the far reaches of the world and beyond. Battling monsters, nightmares and pursued by pirates along with goddesses only know what else. Someponies would say it's all worth it, they're usually right. Yet when somepony's love also accidentally causes a change in species, especially so far as turning you into a dragon. It's probably time to reconsider.

This story is a direct sequel to Love Sickness, therefore it is recommended that you read that story first to understand the context here. Nevertheless, the themes in this story are hopefully going to be far more adventure focused than the last one.

This story is a sequel to Guiding Light

For those who have not read it already, Guiding Light is required reading. This is the second book in the series.

Warning: Description contains spoilers for Guiding Light, and the first chapter of this one.

After learning of her ascension from the Princesses, Aurora must deal with her changing instincts, the secrets she must keep, and the scorn of the nobility, who see her only as an undeserving student, and a threat to their lifestyle. A threat that must be removed.

Note: This story shares canon with Rites of Ascension (with permission), and is "set" a significant time after it ends. Since Rites is still unfinished, there may be minor differences in canon and story elements that have not been explicitly stated. New additions to RoA will most likely not result in a change in this story. Also, there may be personality differences - copying a character's personality doesn't do well for good writing.

However, this will certainly not be just a clone with an OC. It is part of the reason I had not cited the canon influences in Guiding Light, since readers would make assumptions. Even if there was no ascension element to my story, I still would have likely used the same canon.

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful Princess who sacrificed herself to save all of Equestria from a terrible fate. Now it is time for those who were saved by her actions to repay that debt, and bring back the Sun. If they can.
