In an effort to find the couple that truly needs her help to find some romance in their life, Cadance develops a spell to send her to them.

It's just that when she gets there, neither of the creatures seem that interested in her help. They want to talk about silly stuff like her magic, the existence of other dimensions, stupid government conspiracies meant to keep aliens under wraps, and whether she is a winged unicorn, or a pegasus with a horn when they should just KISS ALREADY!

Princess Celestia had a good day. Luna had been going out more often and was becoming quite fond of nightclubs, her dear niece Cadance had formally announced her pregnancy—though, privately, Celestia felt she was too young to be a great aunt—and, of course, Twilight, her beloved former student, had taken on her first student and Celestia couldn't be prouder! Yes, it had been a good day.

Celestia Sol woke up much like she did every day the morning: sun waking her as it danced upon her eye lids. Wait, the sun? Celestia's eyes snapped open to reveal she was in Twilight's old room in the observatory. On the other side of the room was a smaller bed where a small dusky unicorn was drooling on her pillow.

Clearly, it must be Tuesday.

Twilight Sparkle has been a princess for a month now, and she has been having some problems with her duties. Celestia noticed this and sent her nephew Blueblood to teach Twilight how to rule, but in return, Twilight has to teach Blueblood how to act nicely. As time goes by the two start to fall for each other, but they will meet some obstacles, mainly in the form of a captian, a fashion designer, and a night princess.

Princess Celestia was dreaming of the last piece of cake in the fridge. However, when she woke up the next morning she found that the cake had disappeared. Upset, she rounded up the most likely suspects Blueblood and Cadence.

Which one of the foals ate her cake?

Luna begins to question her understanding of the modern day language when she finds that nopony wants to be gay with her.

Frosty Mug runs the premiere (and only) watering hole in Ponyville. He's been behind the pine for years, and listened to many a sob story, and joyous announcement. Enjoy his recollections of a rather strange week in which he served a different Element of Harmony every day, and a pony he would have never thought he'd have the honor of getting drunk. These are the memoirs of a Ponyville booze vendor.

Now with bonus drinks! Consider it 'Happy Hour'!

Warning: Shipping is mentioned.

Cricket Chirper is in trouble. He's a bit of a coward, you see: after getting his buggy rump kicked by six certain mares in Canterlot, he wasn't too keen on having to face them again. Well, when an order came down to attack Ponyville some time after the failed invasion of Canterlot, Cricket wasn't too keen on getting the tar beat out of him again.

So, he ran and hid in Manehatten. In other words, he disobeyed a direct order from his Queen.

Naturally, Chrysalis has a nicely evil, wonderfully sadistic punishment in mind for him...

Echoed Beat is a simple watchmaker from Canterlot. On a business trip to Ponyville to sell his wares, he would never expect to meet any of the heroic mares known as the Elements of Harmony. In fact, he'd never met any of them in his life, and never had any real plans to.

When he arrives in Ponyville, however, he discovers that the Mane Six appear to already know everything about him. His past, his craft, what he carried in his cart and what he carries on his soul.

Echoed Beat never expected to be friends with the Elements of Harmony.
He certainly didn't expect them to be crying at his funeral.

The Elements of Harmony have a problem.
In the past they'd saved thousands of lives without breaking a sweat.
Why, then, can't they save a single stallion?

And worse, why does the same day keep repeating itself?
Why must they watch him die?

How is Twilight supposed to figure out what the cutie map means when it chooses a cutie mark that a bunch of ponies have, and none of said ponies bother showing up? Somepony's going to pay for this transgression against common decency.
