I've never really had any imaginary friends when I was a foal. I guess I didn't really have time for them. I mean, I had my books and my BBBFF, so I didn't really feel like I needed to create one.

I guess that's why I found it so strange when Rarity came to me, asking for help with Sweetie Belle. Seems she had managed to pick up one of her own, and it was starting to cause some problems. Well, of course I'd be willing to help Rarity in any way I could. What are friends for?

Only a few weeks have passed since the failed Changeling invasion and their following banishment from Equestria. Celestia, wishing nothing but peace across the entire continent, seeks out Chrysalis in her hive in an effort to sway her, to show her that there are other ways. She knows that convincing Queen Chrysalis that there are other ways than her own will be a difficult ordeal, but she has vowed to try regardless.

An idea that popped up yesterday night... Hope you like it!

After the defeat of Tirek, Equestria is safe once more, but Luna can sense that her sister is troubled. When Celestia retreats to the starry realm of ascension in order to look upon the past, Luna joins her to discover what is bothering her.

In the wake of tragedy, her resentment blossoms into fury and she vows that something must be done. Shadows gather around Canterlot, and old things that should not have been awakened are on the move. The Student goes west, her hope restored by friendship and righteous fury.

The night, at long last, is passing.

High school graduation is right around the corner -- and Vinyl and Octavia aren't ready to face the facts. So they talk about the future, and cherish their current time together.

Twilight and Chrysalis spend Christmas together. The alicorn wants to use the concept to do something nice for her friends. The changeling just wants the four letter word. Being a princess means Twilight has to be more calm and collected when she makes decisions and when she reacts to the world around her. It's a good thing that she's been making progress on that or else the holiday would likely end up a flaming wreck, courtesy of her overzealous obsession with perfection.

Thankfully, the wishes of the pony and changeling are compatible this time.

NOTES
1. Soft holiday Chrylight fluff. Don't over-think it.
2. Rated teen for a little playfulness. Nothing too extreme.
3. Lyra needs to tone it down with the human craziness.
4. It's a good thing Pinkie Pie doesn't know about Christmas yet...right?
5. Based on setup from Queen No More.
6. Not a part of Hive Alive's official timeline.
7. Merry Christmas, my little Chrylighters!

As I'm sure you can tell by the dates of submission, this story was started quite some time ago. Instead of completely ignoring things that have happened since season 3 on, this will be an alternate reality that branched from shortly before Twilight began the path to become an alicorn.

There's a crisis in Ponyville. Some mysterious magic is turning everything into fashion nightmares. But never mind that.

Rainbow Dash is stuck in a dress, and she desperately needs a place to crash and wait out the spell. Where else than on Applejack's couch?
