It's springtime in Equestria and Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia find themselves out of sorts despite the gorgeous weather. Luna and Rarity both think they know the reason behind their moodiness and set out to make sure that true love blossoms - but will an unfortunate misunderstanding keep the two star-crossed lovers apart forever?

We all wear a mask called composure, beneath which hides a heart that twists with guilt and hidden feelings. Regal as she is, Princess Celestia is no exception. What might be revealed should circumstances cause this mask to slip - or break?

Set several years after the potential conclusion to the series.

Not long after Nightmare Moon being defeated by the Mane Six and the Elements of Harmony, Luna returns to her normal life in Canterlot. Not long after being there, she learns of the Element of Magic: Twilight Sparkle, and learns more about her feelings than ever before.

(I intend to get part 3 started in January)

Luna visits Twilight late one night to seek her assistance with learning how to dance, and it sparks a series of events.

Twilight ventures out into the mountains to see a once-in-a-lifetime event. Disappointed by her friends not coming with her, Twilight crosses paths with a kindred spirit.

As Twilight Sparkle kept studying about the wonders of friendship, she evidently came across love and romance. And soon after she had been studying these new aspects, she suddenly began to feel a wanting that her friends simply couldn't fill in her heart. So Twilight Sparkle decides to use a shape shifting spell to change her appearance to hide her real identity and travel to Canterlot to find somepony in the city's night life that she could try to have an anonymous romantic moment with. But she wasn't the only mare who had planned exactly the same thing at the exact same day, as the lunar princess had decided to do just the same. So they meet each other by change at a party. Unknown to either of them who the other mare really is and that the shape shifting spell they both use will only last until the first morning sun rise.

Nightmare Night goes a little differently and leads into a spiraling staircase of events. the Night will forever be mixed with the scent of Lavender.
this is basically my old story Lavender Night, but revised and redone completely, only the basic story elements are there
