Twilight Sparkle is many things, an inventor, a polymath, a noble, and a Diamond Dog. While her new life in Ponyville hasn't always been the easiest, with her friends and fellow Element Bearers she has found some measure of peace.

Peace that is about to be broken.

Canterlot calls, and with it comes a whole host of problems, both from the distant past and murky future.

Homecomings are never easy.

A Reflection-Verse story.

With many thanks to my long-suffering pre-reader and editor, Trellia. Also thanks to JP and Raleigh for idea bouncing.

Pinkie Pie spends the day with her good friend Ronald McDonald after his recent Birthday Bash. She then tries to tell the story of how she got to McDonald Land in the first place. Major emphasis on try though. No matter how much Ronald tries to keep her on track. Stuff happens.

Seeking shelter from a storm, a pony chances upon a small cave, but finds it already occupied by a gryphon. Despite fear and mistrust, the two of them must share it until morning.

Many, many thanks to Solstice Shimmer for ideas, commentary and feedback. Edited by PoisonClaw, sevenofeleven and Pascoite.

“There are times when a fic so perfectly encompases the meaning of Friendship is Magic that it becomes easy to believe that the writer is a nom de plume of one of the show's writers.”

“A calm, deliberate story of friendship laser-focused on two really strong characters. It's world-building by way of character-building, a tale of common understanding growing where none existed that never even thinks about being preachy.

Highly Recommended”

Sugar Forest was just a mare who was just living a regular life. She is called by Princess Celestia after the Princess of Friendship and her friends goes missing. Princess Luna is sure that they were kidnapped, but Princess Celestia is sure that her sister is just paranoid.

Princess Celestia chooses Sugar Forest to go on a life or death adventure to find out what happened to the Main 6.

What will happen on her journey?

It occurred one peaceful night. Half of Equestria awoke to the sound like a double-shot thunderclap. A percussion heard in the skies and rattling windows from Apploosa, to Canterlot, to Ponyville. Nopony knew what it was or what it heralded for the world as it drew a line across the nation.

For Twilight Sparkle, this isolated incident might have faded from memory after a time, if not for the strange rumors of a creature sitting on the hill on the outskirts of town.

These are her thoughts given written form. These are Sparkle's Notes.

Report EVERYTHING to the Princess.
