All is peaceful in locked-down Canterlot. Just a question of waiting for Commander Tempest to get back.

Not that the Storm Guard know the plan, of course. They just follow orders, trusting that the King knows best.

While following these orders and keeping an eye on everything, two Storm Guard have a conversation, just to pass the time.

Silverstream celebrates the first day of the Three Days of Freedom. She really wishes she could celebrate the second day.

It’s vacation time! And much to the chagrin of everycreature but Ocellus, Professor Rarity has given an assignment: use your unique skills to provide a service for your friends.

Ocellus has a great idea! In order to help propagate love, her service to her friends is the chance to take a practice run at admitting their feelings to their crushes, a task made easy by her changeling magic. It’s a great idea!

Maybe.

This story takes place shortly after She’s All Yak.

During their first week at the School Of Friendship, the students decided to skip class on Friends and Family day. After getting off to a rocky start, they soon begin to open up to each other and truly become friends.

This is based off of the scene we never got to see with the Young Six after they left the school and went to the lake.

Of all the things that Gallus the Griffon has been and thought he would be, lost royalty was never really one of them, but according to Princess Twilight Sparkle, an ancient griffon book indicates otherwise. With that, Gallus returns to the Griffon Empire capital of Griffonstone to try and become their king. However, before he can claim the throne, he must face The Trial of the Throne, an ancient challenge that no one has accomplished in generations.

Trixie and Sunburst led the students to safety through the caves below the School of Friendship while Starlight Glimmer stayed behind to hold off Chrysalis.

Starlight Glimmer has fallen.

Trixie isn't happy about that.

"Because I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and there’s not a single creature with wings I can think of who is exclusively attracted to the opposite sex.”

Now with a reading!

And another!

Twilight has developed a device that can detect strange signals coming from outer space; signals from aliens! She gathers her friends so that they can all listen in.

But they may not like what they hear...

I'd appreciate if everyone could keep the YouTube embeds in the comments to a minimum. The sheer number of them is putting a bit more strain on my connection than I'd like. I'm going to start deleting any comments with 2 or more embeds in them.

The graffiti did not bother her. The art of vandalism was, in some form or another, as old as civilization itself. The content, on the other hoof, was an entirely different issue. “Princest Is Wincest,” it said. Bad grammar and spelling were one thing, but this was an attack on the Equestrian language.

Luna frowned. She would have to ask Celestia about this at the first opportunity. Perhaps there were spare funds for a literacy program. If nothing else, Tia might be able to explain what exactly the phrase meant.

Thanks to Wade and Sereg for prereading. Thanks to Burraku_Pansa and especially Midnight Rambler for editing.

It’s Nightmare Night and five out of six students at the School of Friendship have no idea what’s going on. Thankfully, the ponies, teachers, and Young Six are there to help them. Some of them have mix opinions on this. Some take full advantage of it, some are just confused by it, others are too scared to have fun.
