Every year, Rarity takes on too many Nightmare Night costume orders and winds up working herself silly and sleeping through all the festivities. Sweetie Belle is feeling left out when all of her friends' older siblings will be going with them this year, but Rainbow Dash is curiously gung ho to come up with a plan to fix that problem.

One year after her coronation, Princess Twilight Sparkle is dead, killed by her own subjects out of fear and jealously. After the funeral, Princess Celestia isolated herself from the world, mourning the loss of her brightest student and daughter figure.

But she cannot weep forever. She must take control of her duties once more. Haunted by the memories of the assassination, and its aftermath, Celestia slowly makes her way to Twilight's resting place to find some closure.
