Princess Celestia has been keeping a dark secret from her subjects for a very long time.

It's not an easy truth to tell, but if anyone can accept her after learning it, it will surely be her most faithful student.

Third Place Finisher in Equestria Daily's 2013 Nightmare Night Contest!

On the day of the thousandth Summer Sun Celebration, Twilight Sparkle finds out about the return of Nightmare moon and begins to worry about it. however, Princess Celestia dismisses Twilight's worries and sends her to Ponyville to oversee the preparations for the celebration and to make some friends. Once there, Twilight meets five ponies whose destinies are inexplicably tied with her own. Those ponies? Derpy Hooves, Lyra Heartstrings, Bon-Bon, Pinkie Pie, and Cloudkicker.

...

What? Were you expecting someone else?

Spike has had it. It's not his fault the library is a shambles. In fact, he tried his very best to save it.

And now he's supposed to take the blame? Not this time! Until Twilight starts to fully appreciate his worth, Spike goes on strike!

He will not falter! He will not give in! He will stand his ground!
...if at the end of it all there is still some ground left to stand on.

Jessica finds herself flung into a world she has little concept of. Everything is strange and new to her, but worst of all she cannot communicate with the native inhabitants. A world of monsters and sapient ponies, griffons and other assorted beasts is no place for a human girl.

How will Jessica cope? Without an understanding of their language how will she make her way in the world, will she even be able to ever communicate with them? Why was she even brought into the world and is there even a way for her to get home?

Why, hello there! Can't say that I've seen you around before. Welcome to Ponyville Library. Let me know if you need help with anything. Oh, right. Where are my manners? My name is Twilight Sparkle, personal student of Princess Celestia of Equestria and resident librarian. Oh, and some might call me the laziest unicorn in Ponyville.

Heh. They're just jealous. Try the laziest unicorn in all of Equestria. And that's a title I'm most proud to bear, thank you very much. What's that? Why, you ask? Well. Let me tell you about the time that I accidentally managed to save Equestria.

Several times, actually.

Note: Not a crossover with "A Series of Unfortunate Events." Sorry to disappoint. I just couldn't resist the reference.

First person from Twilight's perspective.

Celestia wants Twilight and her friends to loosen up a little bit around her. Luna just wants to try the hard cider. During a surprise visit to Sweet Apple Acres at the tail end of cider season, Princess Luna has just a bit too much to drink, and when she makes a rather inappropriate joke, Twilight comes to the very uncomfortable realization that she has never seen Celestia excuse herself to use the restroom.

After a busy day celebrating princess Mi Amore Cadenza's birthday, Shining Armor and his wife take time to wind down, relax, and talk. The topic of their conversation soon moves in an unexpected direction, and the couple finds that their marriage still has surprises in store for them both.

Scootaloo was different from the moment she was born. Her eyes are slightly bigger than the average fillies, she has difficulty with simple words sometimes, and she's the only pegasus that can't fly. She doesn't care about any of that though. She has her two friends, and she has her dad. She has her scooter, and she always has a smile on her face. Her dad knows that she's... a little different... but he loves her anyway, and has promised to always be there for her.

What happens though, when she finds out what makes her a little bit different? Why the teachers look at her differently, why some of the other ponies tease her and pull her wings? What happens when she is told what makes her different from other ponies? Scootaloo knows there's nothing wrong with her... is there?
