Fluttershy is feeling a bit down after her critters have gone to sleep for the winter. Discord decides to lighten the mood in his own way. Obvious 40 Year Old Virgin reference.

Princess Luna ordered the Tantabus to torture her dreams every night so that she would never consider returning to the dark path she once trod as Nightmare Moon.

Luna should have remembered just how difficult it was for her to obey rules before she used her own essence to create what was, in effect, a smaller, more headstrong version of herself.

The Tantabus is determined to follow the true purpose of her command, no matter the consequences, large or small.

Or very, very small.

This year, the ponies decide to play Secret Hearth's Warming. Everything is all fine and dandy, but when Sweetie Belle draws Spike's name, her friends keep bothering to finally tell him how she feels.

So, this is my first fan fiction ever. I would like to dedicate this story to my friend who unfortunately passed away before I could finish it. Special thanks to my other friend for proof reading it. I hope to get better with experience.

This story is a sequel to A Tale of the Sun, Moon, and Stars

It has been almost a century since Twilight and her friends had discovered their destiny, and Celestia has been wracked with constant regret over the fate she has condemned her friends to. Now Luna looks to those very ponies to help Celestia smile again.

Celestia's story, and a sequel to A Tale of the Sun, Moon, and Stars.

Now with reading by _NeiglyReads_. Thanks a lot!
Obvious spoilers for 'No Second Prances'.
Edited by VitalSpark, thanks man!

Sunset Shimmer has grown and changed from who she was. For a long time she's kept to her own path through life in the human world and kept her silence from across the rift that separates her from Princess Celestia.

But there's something important to say and a lot of healing still left to do.

It's time they talked again.

Finalist in the Forbidden Knowledge event on http://writeoff.me/. A big thank you to everyone who critiqued and reviewed the story there.

Applejack has a brief conversation with Discord concerning apples and natural growth.

While this story includes several dark fics, the idea is to give the happier ending then they had in canon, so it's kinda the inversion of dark.

This is a record of other pony fanon worlds visited by Amicitia, aka Alicorn Princess Twilight Sparkle that came to a bad end. And her attempts to nudge things to a brighter future. Can she do it without crossing the line? And the spirit of tragedies lies in the background, determined to punish Twilight for her meddling. Set in the Pony POV Series verse.

Written as a group effort over on deviantart, this group story was written by several authors, I just helped compiled them together.

Anyone can write one.

Amiticia's rules:

1) She can not 'assume direct control' of anyone under any circumstances.

2) She can not physically manifest unless it can be passed off as a hallucination or trick of the mind, and may NOT physically meddle.

3) If a deity who is not native to that universe has already intervened or taken part in things, Amicitia can perform much more blatant miracles to help others.

4) She can manifest as a pony's 'shoulder angel', conscience, voice of reason, voice of courage, voice of inspiration, what have you to others at critical moments. (She's able to bend this rule a little when it's that reality's Twilight Sparkle she's speaking to since she's speaking to herself.)

5) She CANNOT give information that person couldn't logically know.

6) She can speak more directly to the pets (Gummy, etc), but they CAN NOT act out of character, nor can they give information they wouldn't logically have or act in ways that don't make sense in story.

7) If something has been established as how the laws of magic or physics works in that world, Amicitia CAN NOT change it.

8) Amicitia can arrange things behind the scenes that are improbable, but NEVER impossible.

9) Amicitia once provided Applebloom and Sweetie Belle in the Friendship is Oppression verse an anonymous vision to inspire them to find the Element of Chaos, she is strictly forbidden from helping that world further under penalty of violence.

10 )Above everything, it must be like from the story's own narrative that Amicitia was not there at all, like a ghost. (Like how REAL ninja made a point of no one knowing there WAS a ninja.)

11) If Amicitia become an Insert (for example, appears, hands Applebloom the Master Sword when Bloom cornered by zombies, or blasts the zombies to ashes herself), the Blank Wolf of that timeline will erase everything she's done and she can not try again.

12) TL;DR Amicitia can not break the suspension of disbelief, create a plot hole, violate anyone's free will, or make it seem like she was there at all from the perception of the characters or the narrative.

Everypony has at least one event in their life which they would rather forget. It may be a cause of humiliation, shock or dismay for all those involved, but such times allow a formative experience which helps us grow into the ponies we've become today. That may be so because we discover something new within ourselves, or because we've had that one, or two, or three but probably one figure to guide us past our mistakes. If they raise the sun too, that's a bonus.

When the whimsicality of the situation is highlighted in verse reminiscent of one Dr Seuss, you too can understand the sheer gravitas of failure. And thus, a young Twilight Sparkle initiates her employment in the Canterlot Archives as an assistant. And Spike learns the true value of slumber.

EDIT: reworked some lines which didn't flow or rhyme well, and fixed tenses in a couple of places. Also, 100 views woohoo!
