Seriously, a lot.

(Now with a Spanish translation by the generous SPANIARD KIWI!)

After a thousand long years, Princess Luna was finally freed from Nightmare Moon and welcomed back to Equestria. But she became Nightmare Moon for a reason, didn't she? What if Luna wanted to take over Equestria even before she succumbed to jealousy?

Having returned from the moon, she secretly writes her efforts to seize the throne and notes the challenges that stand in her way. But if there's one thing that hasn't changed over the last millennium, it's the fact that she can't recognize a losing battle when she sees one.

Prince Shining Armor and Princess Cadance are happily married, but the royal duties they share in ruling the Crystal Empire can be a little distracting in regards to their personal relationship. As a gesture of goodwill to their beloved royals, the crystal ponies give the couple a free vacation from all work. Two tickets, one paradise resort, and unlimited love between two ponies destined to be together. There's nothing quite like living happily ever after.

NOTES
1. Straight-forward Shining Cadance. The couple is usually spending all their time fighting through disasters so why don't we give them a little time off?
2. The most powerful marital pairing to ever grace canon. Literally. (Reference the end of A Canterlot Wedding.)
3. Best read with a tropical drink in hand, such as a piña colada. (optional)
4. The couple's combined cutie mark used in various places: Full HD

As many such things do, it all started with Discord trying to help. And now Fluttershy can't escape the apocalyptic proclamations. Next time, she'll try the trick of wishing for no wishes.

My prompt was: "A character is given a wish. What might they wish for, and what are the consequences of the wish?"

Now with a reading by DeftFunk.

In it's most recent years, the Kingdom of Equestria has found itself fallen victim to a staggering number of potentially world-ending threats. By chance and the power of friendship however, all of them have been defeated and eliminated before they could topple the Ponies' diarchy, thus preventing the ending of the era of peace.

They've overcome a powerful, chaotic spirit; the wraith of an ancient, evil king; the might of an entire invasion from an army of shapeshifters; and the hellish fury of a demonic lord. However, nothing could prepare them for their newest threat.

Can harmony and friendship defeat the most feared being in the galaxy?

-I OWN NOTHING-

After losing her beloved, Celestia finds it difficult to continue on without him. But, she should be fine, right? It's not the first time she lost somepony close to her. So why is she so broken about it now?

Discord will have no idea what to make of what he'll learn.

Boba Fett. Notoriously known as the greatest bounty hunter in the galaxy. From the Outer Rim to the Core Worlds, his exploits are the stuff of legend.

His latest hunt --for which the reward offers enough credits to purchase a small star system-- takes him to the farthest reaches of explored space, to a distant and unknown planet, where he is to kidnap a notable figure of great power and return to his employer with all due haste.

The target?

Princess Celestia of Equestria.

The 'Human' tag is not present on this story because it involves immersion into a universe that contains a great deal more species than them. Expect far more than mere humans to make an appearance.

Shortly after the victory in the Everfree Forest by Twilight Sparkle and her new friends, Princess Luna arrives in Canterlot a sad, broken shell of her former self. In the depths of her grief, the princess of the moon receives an unexpected comfort in "one good stallion" - a young member of the Royal Guard seeking nothing more than to help where most are shying away from that duty. This meeting sets the futures of both involved in ways neither of them could have foreseen at the time - but who is the "one good stallion"? You'll have to read on to find out!
