Ponyville knows that Rainbow Dash and Vinyl Scratch are ultimate lovers of pranks and fun times galore, their passion for it rivaling Pinkie's. The two of them alone could cause damage as is. But together? There would never be a good outcome for what they do. Now the two have decided to give Derpy stolen, experimented muffins, and the goofy mailmare started acting weird. Even weirder than usual. Now, they need the help of the other ponies to fix the terrible mistake that they made.

Have you ever read a birthday scenario? Well, this is the story about how Hurricane, a bored young pegasus stallion, reads one. The result is not pretty.
Many, many ponies fall victim to the cards. Too many.
Well. Only 31.

It is the night of the Summer Sun Celebration, but not everypony is celebrating. Princess Celestia, the one upon whom the entire festival depends, has other things on her mind. This marks the one-thousandth Summer Sun Celebration since Nightmare Moon's imprisonment, and the signs have been clear that this will be the night she returns.

Far from racing to confront this threat, however, Celestia has hidden herself away in the royal palace in Canterlot. As she tells Shining Armor, she won't—she can't—fight her sister again.

This story explores Celestia's role in, and her conspicuous absence from, the struggle against Nightmare Moon as shown in Season 1, Episodes 1 and 2 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
