When the Carnival rolls into Ponyville Big Mac sets out to sell the family wares. While he's there, he comes across a sideshow that may just change his life forever. And the lives of everypony in Ponyville.

On a Wednesday night shift at the bowling alley, Sunset and Starlight gossip to past the time.

Years ago Nightmare Moon returned to Equestria to bring her eternal night. She appeared in Ponyville without warning and one unicorn stood up to challenge her, but she tried to do it alone and she failed. Celestia was defeated then banished to the moon like Nightmare Moon once was and the lone unicorn went into hiding ashamed of her failure. Now Equestria is ruled by Nightmare Moon, and she has turned the simple kingdom into a thriving empire. This is the story of her daughter Diana, and her journey to discover the truth about her mother's origins and bring together the heroes of Equestria that were needed all those years ago in order to stop her tyrannical rule.

This story is a sequel to Trixie Hits The Jackpot

(It is recommended but not required that you read Trixie Hits The Jackpot first, which is itself a sequel to Road to Family.)

Jackpot comes to Ponyville for something long overdue: A reunion with his only daughter, Trixie. And he decides to pay her a visit at her new profession: The School of Friendship's guidance counselor.

Trixie, for her part, is completely unaware of the reunion that is about to unfold. After all, she hasn't seen her father in so long he might as well not exisit.

Is Trixie looking forward to finally getting to see her father again after all these years? Or have the years of separation left too big of a wound to be healed?

During a scouting mission, Bright Justice, Smoke Bomb, and SgtMaj Dusky come across an injured changeling who they bring before Celestia. Since Changelings are outlawed in Equestria, the changeling is instantly thrown into the dungeon under the watch of Bright Justice and his companion, Cloudy Steel. Knowing that the poor changeling is innocent, Bright and Cloudy won't stand for an innocent creature behind bars.
