Early one morning, Twilight Sparkle gets up to make some tea.

Sometimes, a cup of tea is just a cup of tea. This is not one of those times.

Changelings have never been welcomed among ponies in Equestria. Forced into hiding by the Elders long ago, most ponies don’t even know what a changeling is. A young princess named Luna crosses path with another princess, a changeling, by the name of Chrysalis. Not knowing of the consequences, a friendship begins to bloom between the two fillies. Differences in the way you live, what your race is, and what you eat doesn't matter. It’s what’s in your heart that matters...Right?

Princess Luna has finally returned, but she's finding that it took a bit longer than she first thought.

Written with AuroraDawn (love ya babe!) for Quills and Sofas Speedwriting's Duos Contest where we tied for second.

The greatest trick the Great and Powerful Trixie ever performed was convincing all of ponykind that she was only ever a mere unicorn.

Years later, Princess Celestia and Trixie have a discussion by Twilight Sparkle's grave.

Sometimes you just have to remember who they were...

-- Cancelled --

Princess Celestia has had feelings for her faithful student for some time that go beyond a scholastic admiration. Imagine her sorrowful surprise when she receives a letter from Twilight detailing her foray into the world of romantic relationships, one that takes a sharp down-turn for the worse. It's up to Twilight's long-time mentor and friend to repair the anguish brought upon by a careless and, for all intents and purposes, faceless colt, who was too daft to appreciate somepony the princess would give anything to be with.

(Though tagged "sad", it's not that much. It's certainly a little sarcastic at times, though I wouldn't call it "comedy" per say.)

Every year, Twilight and her friends meet to catch up on really old times.

A Cutie Mark is meant to represent the personality and special talent of each pony that has one. Cheerilee's flowers symbolize her desire to help her students bloom, and the smiles represent the cheer that she hopes to bring to their lives.

At least...that's what she tells everypony who asks.
