There is something special in the act of teaching somepony else how to fly. It is an integral part of an average pegasus's life, and how it is taught is just as important as the teaching itself.

Rainbow Dash doesn't just want Twilight to know how to fly. She wants to pass on something dear to her heart that was taught to her by her father. Rainbow wants it to be an unforgettable experience, and show why she loves the sky so much. There is so much more to it than mere wing flapping...

The residents of Ponyville are unaccustomed to violence, but recent attacks are shaking up the normally peaceful town. On top of this, Twilight Sparkle has been experiencing short bouts of memory loss and is getting concerned with her own health. The truth in the situation may be harder to bear, however.

In the wake of Chrysalis' failed invasion, a different hive breaks tradition and steps into the light to open relations with Equestria. The ever eager scholar, Twilight Sparkle, uses this truce as the perfect opportunity to learn more about this enigmatic race. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, she will learn all there is to know about what it means to be a changeling.

But will Twilight lose herself in the hive, or will she regain what she has lost? Only time will tell.

A/N: Yes, the title was based of the Dragonforce song of the same name, you may stop postulating about it now.

Twilight becomes alicorn of the stars. This is sort of a problem, because Luna kind of already was alicorn of the stars. Oops!

TV Tropes

Twilight Sparkle never was a Unicorn and she didn't even know it.
