A few moments in life are vital, they can make or break how your relationship with another developes.
These are those few moments, that over the years lead up to the royal couple of Shining Armour and Princess Cadence

Twilight has always wanted a big sister, Cadence has always wanted a little sister, now thanks to each other their wishes can finally come true. A new adventure in every chapter!

Twilight is called in by Cadance to translate some old books in the Crystal Empire's library. To Twilight's chagrin, Cadance takes the opportunity to try and put her together with Flash Sentry. Twilight is left with no choice but to confront her feelings towards the guardspony.

Princess Twilight Sparkle travels to the Crystal Empire to visit her brother, Cadance, and their new foals, Il Bolero di Fuoco (better known as Bolero), and Gleaming Shield. When her train ends up derailed due to the snowstorm, she ends up somehow trapped in an ice cave, in a raging blizzard, with none other than Flash Sentry. Can these two star-and-dimension-crossed lovebirds thaw out the chilly Frozen North with their love, or are they doomed to freeze to death wandering aimlessly through the snow and hail? When Shining Armour finds out his sister's going out with a royal guard, can he accept it for the love that it is? Or will he totally flip a table?

The song "Vanilla Twilight" belongs to Owl City.

BEFORE ANYPONY ASKS, YES, "IL BOLERO DI FUOCO" MEANS "THE BOLERO OF FIRE" IN ITALIAN. I LIKE TO PLAY ZELDA GAMES, SHUT UP, GO AWAY, IT'S A BADASS NAME FOR A PONY.

We haven't known Shining Armour for an awfully long time, but Twilight grew up with him, and she knows what he's like.

A few points in Twilight's life where she felt down and Shining was there for her, to cheer her up and to convince her that there was nothing to worry about.

Please offer any criticism that you can, please let me know if you see any mistakes in here and please give me suggestions for the tags. I'm always so crap at those...

Twilight is finally old enough to understand Christmas! But when her mother and Cadence tells her that everypony gets presents she has to figure out what everypony needs! Will she be able to get all the presents in time and celebrate her new holiday?

(This fic goes with a headcannon that Equestria has both Christmas AND Hearths Warming Eve! So it will go as a normal Christmas and not like Hearths Warming Eve with the play and such. Enjoy!)

Twilight Sparkle has always cared more about studying than friendships, but what is it about her past that made her so immersed in her studies, to the detriment of her social life?
And why would her mentor, the great Princess Celestia, choose to wait so long before interceding?
After all, her cutie mark represents her talent at magic, not studying.

Based on scenes from the show about Twilight Sparkle's past. If anyone has a better suggestion for her parents names, I'd love to hear them, because I just took the suggestion from the MLP wiki.

It is rare indeed for a tradition between friends to appear fully formed in a single instant. Far, far more common is the origin story from with the tradition grew.

So what is the origin of the "Sunshine, Sunshine" dance between Cadance and Twilight? Hear me out and I'll tell you all about it...

After coming back from her adventure in the mirror world, Twilight is having trouble sleeping and is quickly approaching her breaking point.

Will contain spoilers for the movie. If you haven't seen it and are the type to be bothered by spoilers, do not venture further.

A little story that was supposed to be a oneshot, but was split in two. A bit of family fluff and comfort for Twilight after her adventure through the mirror.
