A few years after Luna's return it seems that Equestria will finally know an era of peace and appears to be on the verge of a new renaissance. Ponies are blithely happy, as they are often.

Luna is recovering, and happier than she's been a long, long time.

Celestia is miserable. She's faced with unexpected changes, like always. It never really mattered until she was faced with something (or rather somepony) she wasn't sure if she could cope with, and everything that came with him.

Now, it feels like she is watching the world fall apart. Her world.

One night on Canterhorn Mountain, above the city of Canterlot, two souls share a night away from ponies and watch the stars.

It's only a mountain clearing that they gather at, but why is it so special, and why would they want to escape ponies? Just what did they find in the solitude so many would reject that made it so enjoyable?

Only they would know, and they aren't about to tell anypony.

This story is a sequel to Scrambled Serenity

Princess Celestia is a very well-adjusted mare. Life in Equestria is often as orderly as she is.

Personally, Celestia has had few surprises — oh, there were a few: the unexpected return of her dear sister, Discord's return, the Crystal Empire's, and Tirek's escape. Maybe there were a few others, but most things, she finds, are nice and calculated.

Now, Princess Celestia has a very big surprise, and it all starts with a few cracks in a single egg.

A new god, worlds-between-worlds, and tons of sass from a certain somepony are only a few things that have made Luna's life all the more interesting. Now, she finds that every day is more of an adventure than it used to be with somepony worthy of sharing it with.

Her relationship may be nothing but a disaster waiting to happen in the eyes of nearly everypony in Equestria, but Luna and her special somepony know otherwise.

This is a side story to Favorable Alignment as much as it is a stand-alone story. You can read this all on its own. The original version of this story scored Highly Recommended in PresentPerfect's spoiler-filled review! Contribute to the TVTropes page!
