Spike & Discord have happily been ruling the Chimera Kingdom for years & their son Draco is 5 years old now. While raising a child & running an empire are rewarding, it can also be tiring. So the trio decides to take a break & spend some time away. Where would three magical royal beings go on vacation? Ponyville of course! Draco hardly ever gets to see his extended family now that they've all settled down. So bags are packed, plans are made & fun will be had! What could possibly go wrong?
...
Probably a lot actually.
This is the sequel to Love & Entropy if you don't read that this won't make any real sense.

The continued romantic adventures of White Night & Braeburn Apple. The story begins with the couple headed towards Ponyville so Braeburn can attend his first family reunion since the death of his parents. White of course is nervous about meeting Braeburn's family, but wants nothing more than to be there for the one he loves.

Please read The Tale of White Night beforehoof or this might not make sense.

White night an albino thestral (bat-pony) has always been teased by other thestrals because of his appearance. Some even went as far as calling him gay, this hurt the most however because he couldnt admit to anyone that he actually was. He cracks under the pressure of constant harassment of the other night guards. He is dismissed from the night guard for assaulting his commanding officer after hearing him talking about how much of a failure he is as a night guard because of his pigment deficiency and orientation. After an accident while being interrogated he leaves Canterlot behind. He searches for a new life somewhere nopony knows him. A quiet little desert town called Apploosa.

Cadence is killed in an attack by Queen Chrysalis as an act of revenge for the failed invasion, Shining kills her in retaliation but the lonely life soon gets to him. Shining has become distant from everypony & pays attention to only his work ruling as king of the Crystal Empire. After 3 years of separating himself from Equestria a hero of the Crystal Empire returns to save him from himself & just maybe show him how to love again.

Spike realizes Rarity isn't for him 10 years into the show's timeline. Deciding that he needs to get away from everything he decides to put his new wings to work as he searches for something to complete him. What he finds is not what he expected. Love never is what you expect it to be is it? But any sane person would definitely question his new romance if they saw his new lover.

How did this happen. King Sombra has returned and taken over the Crystal Empire, the elements bearers are divided, and Equestria is at war. To understand the end we must start at the beginning, and it all started when Rainbow Dash preformed her first sonic rainboom.
