To Holmes, she is always the mare. In his eyes she eclipses the whole of her sex, and fills him with admiration and loathing. Whether she in fact stole the Starry Night was ultimately beside the point.

Twillight prefers to work alone, though is... Sometimes willing to make an exception.

Working too hard is never good for anypony and it can cause even the smartest purple Alicorn princesses to make a few mistakes. Of course, she can always rely on her loyal friend Rainbow Dash to let her know that she's messed up. Much to her displeasure.

Rarity has always gone for stallions her entire life, but something in her tells her she's looking in all the wrong places. During a party, she realizes a love she had never noticed before for a certain Rainbow-maned marefriend of hers.

Unable to get enough courage to admit her love, Rarity ends the night wishing for a little more, and her dreams end up granting her that wish, letting her experience something she never would be able to.
