Rainbow Dash wants to share the gift of Christmas with her close friend. Unfortunately, things don't go as planned.

This story is a sequel to TD the Alicorn Princess

Prince Antares, formerly the human TD Powell, has ascended to rule Equestria alongside Celestia and Luna to form the Equestrian Triumvirate. Taking his residency in Baltimare, Antares comes into his role as smoothly as he can, given the circumstances.

But not all is right with the world.

A warmongering king in the newly formed minotaur nation has just allied with the griffin empire, a country that recently gained a leader unfriendly to Equestria. Now Antares will face his first true test as an alicorn prince of Equestria. He must lead his peace loving ponies into the hells of war, and face an Equestria that will never be the same.

Twilight Sparkle has been in Canterlot Castle a whole lot more with her becoming a princess and all, but one thing still bothers her: the basement. She's never seen it. On top of that, she's been told not to go down there. That won't stop her curiosity from getting the best of her, though. She's going to go down there, no matter what. But you know what they say: curiosity freed the 495 year-old Alicorn vampire devil with Christmas light wings!

Originally written by Dunsparce but he deleted it due to lack of interest. It was transferred over to my account to finish it after his retirement. The only parts not written by me are The Dark Side of Fate and a portion of A Soul as Red as a Ground Cherry, so there may be a slight shift in prose.

[Second Person Perspective]

Once a year, you come around with a simple task. Most of the time, it means nothing. You are normally dismissed without another thought.

However, when you find out Princess Luna has been asking for you, you can't help but worry that something is wrong.

(Scene written for confirmed-by-voting best pony Luna. A bit of a mystery fic. See what details you can glean from the dialogue to determine who the character is and what they are talking about.)

Luna spends the night on her balcony with her thoughts. (One-shot)

Before leaving on a two-year tour of duty in Zebrabwe, Flash Sentry pens a letter to Twilight Sparkle, telling her of his failure.

Hear the dramatic reading by Scribbler.

Rainbow Dash has asked her close friend for help dressing up! Dash says it's for an event, but she's asking for his help for other reasons...

Rainbow Dash asks a friend to proofread a story for her. What he doesn't realize, of course, is that the story may be more than just a tale.

Twilight visits the graves of her friends for the last time.

My name is Captain Ares Andrews. I'm an AH-64 Apache pilot attached to the 101st Airborne division in Ft Campbell Kentucky. I'm not suffering PTSD, I didn't get sucked through a portal, or any of that nonsense. In fact, the last time I even heard the name 'Rainbow Dash', I was a college kid. That show went off the air like five years ago! But, regardless of when the last time I dove into the land of pony art and stories was, it doesn't change the fact that I have something in my house that fans of the show would probably kill for. And I have no idea how she got here, when she's leaving, whether or not she's even real. But she's here alright.
