Princess, Professor, friend. What more could a pony ask for?

Ten years have gone since she met her first true friends, and Twilight Sparkle has begun to find the past weighing upon her. She always knew that her friends would begin to drift apart with time; she understood that those endless Ponyville summers must end one day. Still, even though Twilight has accomplished her dreams, something is keeping her rooted in the past.

But the bustling, decadent nights in Canterlot are made for sharing secrets, and tonight, an old friend is waiting for her among the crowds. Could a familiar face and a guiding hoof be enough to lighten the young princess's burden?

Twilight returns to Canterlot with Rarity to introduce her to this fashion great, but while they are there, events lead to both ponies questioning different aspects of their lives. What will they do next? Will things have to change when they get back to Ponyville? Can their friendship help them through these tough challenges?

Upon Equestria's founding, Clover the Clever and Princess Platinum discuss its future... and theirs.
