As the Princess of Friendship, the only thing Twilight Sparkle loves as much as books, reading, books, making new friends, books, spending time with her friends, and...books...

...is spreading the magic of friendship. And one easy way to do that is to introduce your friends to each other.

In need of a weekend away from the castle before heading out to the Crystal Empire to spend time with her family, Twilight decides to take a little vacation to the human world...and brings three of her newest friends along.

After all, if Princess Ember, Moondancer, and Starlight Glimmer are all Twilight's friends, surely they'll get along well with each other and with Sunset Shimmer!

Right?

After Trixie's "Way-To-Go-Dum-Dum-You-Really Messed-It-Up-This-Time Repentance Tour" show in Ponyville, many ponies have re-evaluated their opinions on Trixie, giving her a little more respect.

Their chat reveals a few surprising things about Trixie's life.

Princess Cadance wakes up with a hangover, and some garbled memories of the previous night's events.

Thanks to Marston241 for giving me the idea for the story.

Now with a reading by CaptainBron3y.

Trixie hates Rarity.
Rarity hates Trixie.
Which is problematic, since Trixie needs her cape mended and Raritys the only seamstress in town on a professional level.

Snails has a little problem. It's the mirror in the corner of her room. Everyday it reminds her of something that she's not...and somedays are harder than others.

Trixie Lulamoon is many things; a notable stage magician, an illustrious dictator, and now, detective for hire. Assisting the Canterlot Police Department whenever they call upon her, join Trixie's adventures as she solves impossible cases and apprehends despicable villains.

Twilight's along for the ride too... Mainly to ensure that Trixie doesn't end up arrested or dead.

Princess Celestia was hoping that her reunion with her sister would come with little complication; she should have known better. Unable to sleep due to events prior, Celestia asks her sister to join her in a simple game of chess, her favorite game since before her banishment.

YOH 1497, three years Before Luna's Return: Cheerilee went off to get her higher education at Canterlot, certain that her fine mind and diligence would win her the world. But she found that her small-town naivete marked her out to certain Ponies as a victim, and she was too trusting. Now, she's woken under circumstances that make it obvious to her that she's sinking into the same alcoholism and debauchery that claimed her mother Strawberry and are claiming her sister Berryshine, and that unless she changes her life, she will not have a very happy one.
