[2nd person fic starring you and Twilight]
You lived your life in a broken home, traveling across the country as you saw fit. You've never had anyone you could consider a 'friend.' One day, you wind up in Ponyville. During your time there, you meet a mare by the name of Twilight Sparkle. You think nothing of her at first, but you soon begin to see her true feelings shine through.

This story is a sequel to How to Climb a Mountain

Twilight has a problem. After a noble by the name of Duke Bull Horn comes to her castle demanding that she take his son to the Gala as a date, Twilight loses her temper and lets it slip that she already has a date. Fearing the criticism she will get it she indeed does show up without a date, Spike suggest that she take the Captain of her recently formed guard, Flash Sentry. While Twilight initially rejects Spike's idea, Flash himself willing volunteers to take her so that she can avoid the criticism that the Duke might pin on her should she show up alone.

Will the Gala be better than the first one Twilight attended, and will this date become something more? Or will the nobles ruin everything and cause the night to go down in flames?

Brief disclamer: this story is meant to be a prequel to my first story "Gone, But Not Forgotten," though I only realized it could be prequel about 4000 words into typing it, so excuse if it somehow has minor inconsistencies.

MAJOR UPDATE: New rewrite version out and ready for reading. Same story, but BETTER! Also, NOW WITH SEQUEL: How to Propose to a Princess

ALSO ALSO: Now with PREQUEL, How to Climb a Mountain. It never ends. Though it should be noted that the prequel is not needed to enjoy this story. (1/14/2020)

Alterative tags to label the story:
Beautiful Twilight, Playful Banter, Rarity Teasing Twilight, Annoying Nobles, Spike's Idea, non-chaotic Discord, Hungry Twilight, Silly Flash, Celestia playfully teasing Twilight, Luna Threatening Flash, Rarity Threatening Flash, Dancing, romantic strolls, interruption of romantic strolls, more chaotic Discord, the plot demands things, questioning all of reality Pinkie and Discord Tag-Team, moonlight dancing, and kissing.

So Twilight has already told Celestia that she's a dum dum, tried to put a guard in time out, slid down the hallway in that guard's armour, threw a flower pot at Celestia, threw a paint balloon at one of Celestia's guests, sprained that guests hoof, told Cadance that she was a dum dum, burnt down the Canterlot Castle...you get the idea. So what next?

Dear Princess Celestia,

Princess Celestia is a big dumb stupid head! I want a new foal sitter. She is a very bad meanie! She is like the big bad wolf in my story book I read.

From Twilight Sparkle

Unfortunately filly Twilight forgets who she is writing to. This letter will probably land her in even more trouble than she is already in.

This story is a sequel to Why Celestia is a Big Dum Dum

Time out again? What is it, Time to Pick on Twilight Day? Twilight needs to deal with this solution the best that she can. This letter will take her a long time to finish.

During the course of a sleepover at Ponyville Castle, it is revealed that neither Twilight nor any of her friends have ever kissed a stallion. Things quickly get competitive, and soon Spike, the only male within striking distance, is forced to run for his life.

Cheating. It never leads to anything good. Hearts get broken, trust is lost, and lives are ruined. Unfortunately, even the best of relationships are not immune to it.

When it comes to light that Shining Armour has been in a secret affair with Rarity, it leaves Princess Cadence and Spike stunned and badly hurt. Leaning on each other for comfort, the two devise a plan to not only get revenge on the ponies that hurt them, but maybe even heal their broken hearts along the way.

Note: This fic was written during season 4 originally, so that's why Flurry Heart isn't mentioned.

Inspired by the album Two-Faced Charade by Famous Last Words.

A prequel to Twilight Sparkle's Final Days.

The Elements of Harmony. The first Alicorns. The Fall of Discord. The Fall of Princess Luna. Her Return. The New Elements of Harmony. The Ascension of Twilight Sparkle. Everything began when Celestia and her sister died.

Rarity prides herself on her work, and when letters start pouring in from Canterlot after the Royal Wedding she is overjoyed by the enthusiasm for her dresses. Drawing on her friend Fancy Pants, she is able to set up a temporary shop in Canterlot for one month, where she will do her best to turn out as many dresses and outfits as she possibly can.

She swears to Twilight and her friends that she won't fall for the allure of the big city again, and that Ponyville won't have to go long without her... but once there, she is quickly swept up in the grandeur and glamour of post-Wedding Canterlot. Her clients are rich, prestigious and famous, with clout and influence to burn...

...but it is one mare, a simple gray earth pony, who catches her attention. She doesn't behave like the rest- she is quiet, yet when she speaks she is witty and clever, not dull and droll like the others. She dodges Rarity's questions about her artfully, which only piques the white unicorn's interest and nigh-on forces her to dig deeper into the community to find out about this mysterious mare named Octavia.

But what does she hope to find? Why is she so driven to find out more about the gray earth pony musician... and what will she do with the information she gleans?
