It's the anniversary of Twilight Velvet and Nightlight, and to celebrate the family is gathering in an expensive hotel in the resort destination of Tall Lake: Shining Armour and his wife Cadance, Twilight Sparkle, her adoptive brother Spike; and her marefriend, Sunset Shimmer. Sunset hopes to make a good impression on Twilight's parents, so that she can get her blessing to ask Twilight's hoof in marriage.

But matters are complicated when Sunset befriends a young mare named Summer, who possesses the unerring ability to tell truth from lies, and who delivers a grim verdict: Sunset does not love Twilight. Sunset is thrown into doubt over her feelings, and at the worst possible time; for Tall Lake is not only a popular tourist destination, but also a hotbed of crooks and spies, with danger and excitement around every corner - and Twilight risks being caught in a web of deception and villainy.

Sunset will need to reach out to an old enemy, as well as a shadowy figure from her past, if she's going to fight for her love and win.

If, that is, Twilight really is her love, and she isn't fooling herself?

Christmas time? Hardly. It's a chance to rest and do absolutely nothing at all.

Heaven knows Twilight needs it. School is now actually exhausting, draining her for every ounce of her will. A few weeks in between semesters is not the opportunity to celebrate, but simply sleep and ready herself for the next round.
However, there might be a few who object to such a notion. Few things are better for the soul than a little love.

Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle have hit it off great. They've gone out to countless places, hung out with each other's friends, and never seem to have a problem. They've hit it off so well in fact, that Twilight thinks he might be her 'special somepony', and feels like it's time he was properly introduced to her family. Will all of his training as a soldier help him survive for a few hours with her dad and brother?

Son of Twilight Velvet and Night Light.
Little brother of Shining Armor.
Older brother of Twilight Sparkle.
Unknown creature of Canterlot, battling against society and his very being.

His life is an adventure. These are his first years.
-Celestia and Cadence are in it, but I can only pick 5 characters.
This is a story that is all about Time Skips until season 1 begins.

There is and will be a time in your life in which you will have to say goodbye to someone you love with your whole life. For Twilight, a book or another pony cannot fix this new hole in her life.

This story dedicated to CuteSkittles, a friend who is moving away.

For one young pony, that decision may have come a little too easily. Will the weight of war prove too much for her, or will her new found comrades be the foundation she needs?
