A simple declaration between Sci-Twi and Sunset Shimmer kicks off a silly argument. Who's taller?

Sex tag for minor sexual references.

We all have dreams, goals, and ideas. We all want for something, want to ascribe to be something. But… what happens once you’ve achieved that goal? What do you do if you’ll never achieve that goal? If circumstances in life prevent you from ever being able to do the thing you love?

Two ponies, two friends, each have to deal with a different version of that question. But maybe they can find the answer together, and maybe, just maybe, they’ll find something else as well.

This story is a sequel to Sometimes It Takes a Double Shot

It may sound like fun and games, but properly ensuring the nighttime staff of Canterlot Castle receives their appropriate caffeinated beverages is serious business. A business Daybreak takes to heart.

Not only is she personally responsible for ensuring Princess Luna is ready and fully awakened for the raising of the moon, she also must maintain the baseline alertness of the Lunar Guards, the legion of batponies who accompany the Princess on her rounds about the castle and protect the lives of the Canterlot staff during the night... including Celestia herself.

So, yeah. Serious business.

Daybreak wouldn't change a thing about her life, though, and rises an hour before sunset each day with a smile on her face and a song in her heart, working until sunrise for the ponies that truly appreciate her unique talent.

Until the Princess of Friendship visits for a day of royal reporting that goes longer than expected, and is forced to stay the night...

No one warned Daybreak she was bringing the Element of Laughter with her.

Sunset Shimmer watches Frozen and really enjoys it. Her friends don't quite understand her new obsession.

The Canterlot High Enquirer ; the student-run school newspaper. Students of Canterlot High pick it up before the day starts, and are filled in with the news, and sometimes even gossip, of the school.

Rarity thinks a new column should be added to the school paper that is dedicated to shipping: The Shipping Section. This section would be used for any relationship news in the school, and give everybody a fun, romantic read.

Sadly, not everybody appreciates classmates following them around and figuring out their secret relationship. Especially when one of their best friends is the one who thought of the new section.

Two MLP fans who live half a world away from each other begin a romance RP.

This is a slightly experimental style of story, following two parallel narratives: a romance between Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash in Equestria, and the relationship between two RPers in our world.

Although the rules of fimfiction forbid chat logs being published as stories, I'll note that the chat logs in this story are fictional — they have been entirely crafted by the author, and are not just copied and pasted from a real chat — and only form a small part of the story. I asked a moderator before I even started writing, and he seemed to think it would be okay. While the story is intentionally written as if it could have been an RP, I can assure you I wrote the whole thing myself. I've never even RPed PinkieDash.

This story is a birthday present for one of the most amazing individuals on the planet. Many thanks to Infinity Shade, scootaloo96, and Frowning Sugarcoat for pre-reading this, and offering me their feedback, which I blissfully ignored.
