With only so much time left, Sunset takes it upon herself and Twilight to get to the bottom of it.

Reading

Time passes, and the winds of change leave almost everything behind. Old structures fall apart, ancient history is lost to our books. There is only one constant in Equestria: Princess Twilight Sparkle and the other alicorns.

Gambit Hay seeks to explore Equestria's wildest forest, the Everfree Forest. For centuries, it has remained mostly a mystery, the inhabitants having a reputation for being wild beasts that attacked those who neared. However, as Equestria's foremost adventurer and researcher, he wants a challenge. While doing so, he sends letters back to his partner, hoping that if he never made it back, the work he did would at least be useful.

All's well and said until he finds a lone cottage on the edge of the forest.

Enclosed above is an artist's impression of the cottage in its prime.

This story is a sequel to Twilight Gets a Puppy, Season 5

Now that the time travel shenanigans are finally over... maybe. Twilight, Rahs, and Spike can get on with their day to day and break in their new roomies properly, while keeping Starlight and Tempest from killing each other.
Or keep everyone from making bets about it.

Still this years not going to be any less annoying, with newborns, changes in dragon lord leadership, cutie mark crusades, Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie, Discord, of course, Fluttershy's brother, the battle for Rahs heating up between the six, Ogres and Oubliettes games gone mad, a massive prank war, the return of Daring Doo, added on top of the prophecy not having happened yet, and the Sparkles will again find themselves in the middle of everything.

As usual the lewd warning goes here cause of some situations and Cadence. I don't want to use the sex tag cause there isn't any and people might get confused by the current cover art.
