After a millennium waiting for the night of her sisters return, Celestia is ready to enact her plan to save her sister of the dark magic that corrupter her.
The castle was empty to prevent collateral casualties, and Twilight had been making friends in Ponyville to later be able to wield the elements.
She now only had to wait for her sisters return, and play her part.

But things don’t go as she expected

Twilight drank. Rainbow helped.

Contains TwiDash and descriptions of excessive alcohol use. Please drink responsibly and in moderation, if at all.

Kissing is irrational. Take it from a pony who's never done it.

Speedwrite because I miss horsewords, mostly unedited.

Smolder doesn't know how beaks work. Like, when they're not being used to peck worms out of the ground. Gallus, Silverstream and Sandbar try to explain.

There's a lot of kissing involved.

Vinyl Scratch just can't seen to get her latest song right. Maybe seeing her marefriend will help.

This story is a sequel to Would It Matter If I Was?

After the Canterlot Wedding, Fluttershy asked Twilight a difficult question. Now, Rainbow Dash flies in to talk some sense into her and to shake things up with a question of her own. On top of that, there's some sort of conspiracy going on. What are these ponies up to?

Author's Note: While I normally prefer to keep my writing self-contained instead of expanding upon another author's work, I was inspired to write this after seeing the context prompt here. Really, so many things could be changed just by tweaking the circumstances that it would have been a shame not to do so. If there's anything I've learned as a writer, it's to chase those wild, untamed ideas and not let them get away. So yes, this story is a sequel to GaPJaxie's work, and picks up after that one cuts off. Please read it first.

If you're interested in the concept, also check out the Parody, the Rage Review, and the (ill-fated) Rebuttal.

In the wake of the Canterlot Wedding, Fluttershy has to ask Twilight a very difficult question.

You and Thorax are bros, and bros don't snuggle. Thorax disagrees.

Contains lots of snuggling. No actual intercourse; the sex tag is just there for occasional lewd references.

For Twilight, her relationship with Rainbow Dash couldn't be better. She can't help but be happy whenever they're together, and the usually abrasive pegasus has shown her softer side. Recently, however, Twilight's started to notice that there's something on Rainbow's mind. Something bothering her about their relationship, and Twilight's determined to find out what it is. The answer she gets might just confuse her more.

After all, when it comes to something as subjective as emotions, there's no handy reference guide to tell you how you're feeling.
