As Maretime Bay celebrates and Equestria enters the beginning of reunification, Queen Haven of Zephyr Heights wonders if she and her daughters are fugitives, or forgiven.

Pipp finds lost pets. Haven takes a spa day. Zipp commits science. (Wings are a rounding error.)

(Set a year or two before the G5 movie.)

Fairweather Haven is many things. A Queen, a celebrity, a shining beacon of hope for a flightless people.

A fraud, a widow, a mother who struggles to connect with her eldest daughter.

It is the burden she bears.

Sunny and friends have a surpise they must prepare. Misty has a big surprise coming. Her first birthday party from as long as she could remember. What will she do? How will she react?

Zipp researches aerodynamics. Pippsqueaks get a completely wrong idea about it.

Captain Zephyrina Storm, a highly decorated soldier, has enjoyed her esteemed position of lead instructor for the Queen’s elite guard for many moons. However, as the winds of change sweep across Equestria. Zipp is caught up in the political whirlwind with orders to protect an earth pony princess during said royal's stay at Zephyr Heights. Reluctantly accepting the position, Zipp draws strength from legendary pegasi of old to somehow complete her assignment without causing an international incident.

Winter Wishday. Wishentine. Wishiehoof. To hear Sunny Starscout tell it, the old name was "Hearth's Warming," back when the races lived together.

Maybe that time was coming again. It sure seemed like it, every passing day. The ponies of Equestria were growing together once more.

Which means Queen Haven has no more excuses to put off what she should have done a long time ago.

Pipp has a lot of expectations placed on her by her mother, due to her being the "extra princess." Her current mission is to make sure to maintain good relations with Sunny, the mare who brought back magic into the world. Though Queen Haven wishes for a tighter link between the royal family and such an important mare.

Yes, my word counts are becoming even more insane. (Don't expect this in the future, it just worked out well for this one.)

In their ongoing efforts to bring all of Equestria into closer Harmony, the three pony kinds are participating in a pen-pal gift exchange! Each group will be assigned names from another, and give gifts that celebrate the culture, identity, and uniqueness of their home; Bridlewood will gift to Maretime Bay, the ponies in the Bay will gift to Zephyr Heights, and the pegasi will gift to the unicorns of Bridlewood.

Of course, as princess, Pipp has the honor of playing Santa Hooves, delivering Zephyr Heights' Wishday gifts to the forests of Bridlewood. Along with her faithful guard, Thunder, she'll be delivering gifts, and she couldn't be more excited.

And, since Pipp is nearly always online somehow, somepony will know right away if something goes wrong.

...won't they?

Sunny is invited to a Royal Summit in Zephyr Heights. She's a little nervous about it. So what do her friends do? Take her to McWings, of course...
