Sadly, Prince Hornet is not only destructive, he is a living testament to his father's unintentional infidelity, putting intense strain on both Cadence and Shining Armor. Can Cadence learn to cope with this problem child and the fact that she now knows she has "shared" her husband with the creature she hates the most?

She didn't have a name anymore, she was only referred to as U-1746, the pin number on her uniform.

Your name didn't matter in the war, only how you performed. If you did well enough, you'd have a name that ponies would remember when Equestria won... if Equestria won.

She would make that her goal. She would matter. Her name is Rarity, and this is her story.

Being late can do a lot of things. It can have positive or negative impacts depending on the individual and what it is their late for.

What if Nightmare Moon was late for her appointment back to Equestria? What would she do then?
