A few years after Luna's return it seems that Equestria will finally know an era of peace and appears to be on the verge of a new renaissance. Ponies are happy. Luna is recovering. Celestia is miserable.

Princess Celestia watches over a sleeping Twilight, thinking about her decision to allow one so precious to remain in a village so very far away from home; wondering if it were truly the right choice, and hoping it wasn’t.
When Twilight is awake, Celestia is her teacher, and she a faithful student. But when Twilight shuts her eyes, another mare approaches, who teaches her a very different lesson.
As their time at the School of Friendship ends, six newly graduated students prepare to settle into their adult lives. Five in Ponyville - and one far away.
