Sunset Shimmer has been deeply in love with Princess Twilight Sparkle for a very, very long time, and she's finally gonna do something about it! Today is the day that Sunset confesses to Twilight Sparkle!

Too bad for her, some other women have the exact same idea.

I'm Moondancer, friend of Princess Twilight. Yeah that surprised me too. Especially after she abandoned me and my party but water under the bridge as ponies say. My friends, Minuette and the others in Canterlot decided it would be prudent to visit an orphanage in town and make the fillies and colts happy since Hearths Warming is coming up in a few months. Everything changed when I meet a filly who is scarily like me. Better question is why do I feel this way?

This story is a sequel to Look, I Have Extremely High Standards

You and Moondancer have grown very close since your date last month. Unfortunately, she lives in Canterlot while you still live in Ponyville, and most of your communication occurs through letters. So, when the opportunity arises for the two of you to meet once more during the Princess Procession, a parade-like event held in Canterlot every year, you were ecstatic to finally have an excuse to see each other again. Twilight, wanting an excuse of her own to get you and Moondancer together even during the event itself, arranged for an important job at the end of the parade to be handled by the two of you.

However, after Moondancer fails to show up at the place you agreed to meet at, you stumble upon an opened, enchanted manga in her living room. Fearing the worst, you hop inside.

Now, the two of you must swallow your pride and live out the events of Equestria's most popular slow burn romance manga to return to the real world. But with the Princess Procession having already started, you'd better get through it quickly if you want to return to the parade before its conclusion!

While on an extended trip to Canterlot with Twilight, you became acquainted with a mare named Moondancer. She makes you feel all kinds of things that you've never felt before, and Twilight caught on to this pretty quickly. After some teasing, you decided to shoot your shot. Moondancer... didn't take it too well. It seems that, somehow, she simultaneously has confidence issues and a huge ego.

Or maybe she's just nervous.

After fixing up his Tardis, the Doctor decides to take it out for a spin with Derpy. However, after an incident occurs, he meets some old faces that he would rather not meet again. Will the Doctor and Derpy be able to set the timeline back?

It started small. Pictures out of place, or mislabeled books. But then, it changed. Entire new rooms, long and dark corridors. Moondancer was sure something was strange with her home, and she was determined to find out why. The line between reality and nightmare becomes blurred as she goes deeper down the rabbit hole. Will she able to keep her sanity by the end of her trip?

When the sun rises, Canterlot will burn. That's what Moondancer has been hearing all night. She hates the false hope those words bring. They have failed her before.
