Sonata whispered, "The love between Twilight and her favorite food is so beautiful. You shouldn't try to keep them apart."

Celestia and Luna have just announced their intention to retire and pass the throne to Twilight.

Before everyone can start assuring Twilight she'll do great as ruler of Equestria, Twilight refuses and explains why it wouldn't make sense for her to take the throne. From there, the conversation swerves.

This is a story for those who think Celestia and Luna retiring is a bad idea, and that Twilight found her true calling as a teacher rather than a ruler.

This story is a sequel to Ask Not the Sparrow

This story is set in the same AU as Ask Not The Sparrow - if you haven't read that, it's fine, but be aware that most characters have been swapped with their closest counterparts.

Ponyville Days is the biggest event of the season, or at least it will be once Rarity gets her hooves on it. She's invited a special guest to town, one who has a certain amount of history with one of her friends. Will things go as planned, or will it all end in disaster?

Since it's been at least a week since the last disaster, most ponies are already placing bets on which half of town gets destroyed.

A big thanks to all my readers. This one took a surprising amount of time to write, even though I had the whole idea in my head start to finish almost from the get-go. Some scenes just didn't want to come together, and it took a while to polish them. I hope you enjoy, and I've already got another story planned out for this continuity.

The power exchange between Twilight and the sisters is about to be completed. Then, thanks to an ancient proclamation, things hit a snag. How will Twilight feel about this intrusion on her non-existent love life?

Chances are, not very good.

There are many stories of the slightly more neurotic male counterpart of Twilight Sparkle. Through these mostly standalone oneshots, we discover many romances he has had in the multiverse.

It's date night for Twilight and Luna, and they're both enthusiastic in their planning and preparations. Unfortunately, Celestia and Rarity both find out, and confessions are in order...

***************

Yes, I know the title is an obvious and shameless joke and I should feel bad. You come up with a better title.

In an alternative universe, Spike's transformation went a little... differently. One where there were less princesses and singing, and a big heaping dollop of sarcasm.

Strictly for laughs, don't take it too seriously. Unless you want to.
