Sandbar cares a great deal for Yona, but the thought of meeting her family has him understandably nervous. What if they didn't like him? Thankfully, that turns out to not be a problem, and instead, he has to worry about something else entirely.

The Nightmare is gone and Luna's return has been welcomed by everypony but there is someone else that was alerted by her return. Someone that has been gone for a long, long time... and now, her past has come back to haunt her.

Twilight is now the new ruling Princess of Equestria. With her ascension begins a new chapter, not just for the ponies, but for all creatures. There are new struggles, new achievements, and most importantly, new friendships, all waiting on the horizon.

Queen Novo, Prince Rutherford, King Thorax, Dragon Lord Ember, & Gilda. These are the five ambassadors of their respective kingdoms; Mount Aris, Yakyakistan, the Changeling Hive, the Dragon Lands, and Griffonstone. While these five creatures are all ambassadors, they really haven’t spent time with each other. Twilight has an idea to invite them all to Canterlot to see if they could break the ice. Needless to say, they do learn more about their species.

Idea from this picture and this picture.

If you told Gallus before he moved to Equestria that he would become a part of the hippogriff royal family, he'd call you crazy. Yet, here he is, and the anxiety is killing him.

Luckily, there's a pony in attendance that knows a thing or two about marrying into royalty.

Twilight and Don invent a scale that determines where on the evolutionary cycle ponies fall. Some like their results more than others.

Having spent as much time with the students as she has, Applejack has a pretty good feel for when something is bothering them, and right now, she's definitely getting that feeling from Sandbar. So, when classes finish, she asks him to stay behind to find out what's on his mind.

Twilight Sparkle has fulfilled her destiny and become the sole ruler of Equestria.

Unfortunately, at her first council meeting, she learns a terrible truth.

Equestria is a bit of a mess.

When it comes to yak, there are a couple of things that are obvious about them. They’re quite proud of their culture, they’re quite stubborn, and they are a little reckless. Trud is a prime example of this. These traits eventually get him in trouble as he ends up breaking his back legs. This means he won’t be able to do a couple of activities he’d normally do with fully functional body parts. Thankfully, there’s someone who knows what it’s like.

Silverstream and Gallus get the chance of a lifetime when Rainbow Dash asks them to participate in the Wonderbolt Academy trials after two of her three recruits call out sick. Stuck in a situation of her own making, the Wonderbolt team member tries to impress upon her fellow team members and Commander Spitfire the idea of having both Hippogriffs and Griffons as part of the trials as a positive thing. Despite some ponies feeling otherwise about 'outsiders' interloping in their traditions, Silverstream and Gallus will do all they can to show that the skies for flying are not mutually exclusive to just pegasus ponies or that ponies alone know how to be 'crazy awesome, totally amazing' flyers.
