Disclaimer: Story takes place after the events of Season 2. It disregards Seasons 3 and 4. My apologies if this upsets you.

Twilight Sparkle is whisked away to the utopian city of Canterlot, where she has been invited to participate in the legendary Aura Bloom magic competition. While there, she runs into an old nemesis.

Ponies throughout all of Equestria have shown some resistance against Luna's return to her throne. She doesn't seem to blame them, and has lately been growing depressed. Some of the radical groups in the society have publicly protested, some rioted, and some may go that extra step further...

Luna knows everything about Twilight Sparkle, From her childhood up to everything she has done in the year since Twilight freed Luna, but why does she know these things?

On the other hand Twilight is going crazy turning against her friends as though something is eating at her and shes powerless to stop it.

Princess Luna arrives in Ponyville and begins to do wonderful things in the life of Twilight Sparkle. They become close friends...maybe even more, but when Twilight discovers that Luna may be after the throne the unicorn must choose whether to follow her head...or her heart.

Twilight becomes alicorn of the stars. This is sort of a problem, because Luna kind of already was alicorn of the stars. Oops!
