Hello, my name is Philomena Shimmer, daughter of Sunset Shimmer, and personal student of Celestia. I have lead a good life full of friendship and love, and in my small way I have helped our ruler learn what it was like to be a pony again. This is my story, the story of how a small little fire bird fell in love with the sun.

Prequal to: Phoenix Lament

Everyone knows Pound and Pumpkin cake, the lovable, adorable foals of Cup and Carrot. But Cup Cake has a secret she's kept from everypony, even her husband, the stallion she trusts with her life. That secret, however, is about to be revealed, and Cup and Carrot's lives could be ripped apart.

When it comes to nightmares, we all have our fears. Some fear death, some fear poverty, some fear the loss of love, or never finding it at all. But for little Twilight, her fears are placed somewhere else.

When Rainbow dash is turned in to a foal by a strange new plant in the Everfree Forest, it will be up to Fluttershy to take care of her, will this help them become closer as friends or more, or will they fall apart.
