Vinyl Scratch holds a concert for ponyville, before the show she takes time to remember what is important to her. Meanwhile Octavia has a surprise waiting for her best friend.

A very quick story I did for a contest over on DA, which had a 1000 word limit. First story I've done that was ever this short.

NEW: Decided to expand on this, while leaving the original up for any one that liked it or want to compare versions.

It's hard being the one no one pays any attention to, even worse when your Royalty and it feels like no one knows you exist. Luna starting to get tired of it, goes to drastic measures to show off all the hard work she puts making the night to a group of foals. Meanwhile Celestia fears for the worst when she's awoken in the middle of the night to claims of kidnapped children. so she and Luna's Guard Captain Black Night attempts to find Luna, while Black Night wrestles with an important decision.

Twilight discovers Discord in-hiding - which is strange enough - but the discussion they have causes her to consider the particulars of true harmony, and whether or not a being such as he should be allowed to live freely to retain his part in it.

This story is a sequel to A Pony's Sympathy

Following Discord's last escape from stone [as seen in A Pony's Sympathy], Twilight Sparkle sought to understand his role in the keeping of Balance in Equestria

Her want to understand sparked an alliance of sorts, a kind of understanding between them. Although having one pony in his corner has done little to convince the rest.

His lack of empathy and understanding of a pony's sensibility has been tolerated by Celestia.

But while both the princesses and the bearers of the Elements of Harmony struggle with even more dire problems, Discord is forced into a lesson of his own, and it could not have come at a more inopportune time.

Continuing the story of A Pony's Sympathy, the fledgling friendship between the Spirit of Chaos and the Element of Magic may determine the fate of the ponies, and the way both sides of harmony regard one another.

[Written/published between Nov. 2012 and Nov. 2013, based loosely on Star Trek: The Next Generation episode 3x13 'Deja Q']

Before King Sombra enslaved the ponies of the Crystal Empire; before Nightmare Moon attempted to block out the sun forever; there were only Luna and Sombra. In a time when Equestria’s peace after Discord’s defeat is shaken, and when alicorns once again come under attack, two unlikely ponies come together beneath the pale moonlight. In the darkness their love blossoms, but so does an ethereal evil that bides its time, waiting to strike before the dawn.
