This story is a sequel to Blueblood's Ascension; or, Alicorns Just Aren't What They Used to Be
Braeburn's a pioneer. Rugged terrain is his home. Apples are his lifeblood. Path-finding is his mandate. But then he ascends to alicornhood, and things shift. Suddenly, he's a Prince of Equestria, a noble in name and deed.
Romance probably wasn't the first thing to pop into his head when a horn popped out of it.
Pinkie is a pony who needs no introduction, but she would insist on one. Where there is cake, she will be baking it. Where there are parties, she will take part. Whenever a pony needs a friend, she's the first in line.
To her, Braeburn feels... a little different.
When the two ponies meet semi-officially, change takes place. Friendships are strengthened, bonds are challenged, and at least one evil enchantress seeks to crash the party. As far as Pinkie's concerned, it sounds like a Tuesday.
All things considered, though, it's going to be an interesting courtship.
