This story is a sequel to The Hnng-ening


For the first time in years, Twilight tries on her old pair of glasses to figure out if they still induce strange effects in other ponies.

As it turns out, the effect is hugs. Many, many hugs. Unfortunately, she doesn’t know how to make them stop.


Though this story is a sequel, it's a standalone story and doesn't necessarily require any knowledge of the prequel.

Some gifts are insignificant, only to be given to someone, then to be re-gifted once again. However some gifts are extremely important. They might not be expensive, no flashy by any means, but they are the aspects of our lives that mean the most.

Rainbow has tried for what seems like ages now trying to tell Twilight about her true feelings for her. All of her other friends have already noticed, but the mare of her dreams still remains oblivious to her feelings. However one day, Rainbow finally decides to tell Twilight how she feels, and she stumbles upon the perfect present to help sum up her feelings should she not be able to tell Twilight directly. Will Twilight accept the gift? Or will she turn it down? Either way there will be a decision made, and it will change the two forever.

So this is a small thing that I decided to do to help relieve my writer's block on When A Door Closes, so hopefully guys enjoy this one as much as When A Door Closes. That still amazes me that it was recieved so well but hey I am not going to complain that much.

This was mostly written on my 1 hour commute to work, as the bus system here in Ottawa can be absolutely terrible if you need to get anywhere. Although it is a huge pain in the ass trying to write 2000 or so words on a small phone. Not the nicest piece of typing equipment.

And yes I know the description is awful. I'm terrible at them...

Due to an editing/publishing error, all of Twilight's friends have now 'officially' died of old age. This leaves an immortal Twilight to grieve over the tragedy of how she outlived all of her friends and will continue to do so for the rest of her eternal life.

Seeing the obvious pain that this news is having on Twilight, Princess Celestia moves to console her with the help of her supposedly-but-actually-not-really-deceased friends.

When Twilight Sparkle slipped beneath the covers last night, everything had been fine. She had friends whom she loved, a teacher she adored, and a bright future ahead of her. But when she woke up, her blankets and quilts had been replaced by hospital gowns and padded restraints.

Everything is wrong and nothing makes sense; even her friends have changed. The doctors keep telling her that she is sick, that none of it was real and that it was all in her head. Yet she remembers a life far beyond the hospital walls. She couldn't have made it all up on her own. They must be lying… right?

Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, there were two regal sisters who ruled together, and created harmony for all the land.
Unfortunately, such a peace could not last forever. A feud arose between the two rulers and the kingdom was divided by more than just boundaries built in soil and on paper.

When Luna became jealous of her sister's glory in the eyes of ponies, she saw what it might lead to, coming to her sister for help. But, when scorned and pushed aside, Luna's jealousy became anger. In a fit of rage, she spirited herself and all of those under her rule, those that would follow, to her domain: The Moon.

A thousand years is a long time, though, to be holding a grudge. And now the means to mend an immortal's bond to her sibling rest in the hooves of one of Luna's subjects: Twilight Sparkle, who must descend from Luna's moon unto Solar Equestria to right a thousand-year-old wrong.
