This story is a sequel to The Family of the Season
The fifth installment in CartoonNerd12’s fairy tale series. Based on the fairy tale “Sleeping Beauty”. When a sleeping curse hits everywhere in Equestria, the remaining royals must face a dark threat…and some surprising foes!
Note: CartoonNerd12 has been very involved in creating the story. Though she has suggested and written some things in the story, I've written (and still am writing) most of it by far. The "Royal Canterlot Family" series belongs to CartoonNerd12.
Chapters (22)
Shadow ponies? That's what your last hint was about?
That's brilliant! 
Oh ho ho! I'll get the popcorn!
Zecora, you're gonna need some help if you want to keep Discord in check.
And it's nice to see Screwy working her chaos magic like her old pops.
And EGADS! A new villain on the horizon!
Dun Dun DUN!!!!!
So far, AMAZING!!!
Just saying Screwy's hat is actually orange and yellow
Flippin Awesome!
NO! Not a cliffhanger!
I first saw Screwball as Fluttershy and Discord's daughter in the Bride of Discord series, and I just noticed that this series portrays her as more of a slightly mischievous sweetheart as opposed to a sweet mischief-maker. I like this a lot. Besides, the differing portrayals make sense because in this series, Screwball grew up in a more loving environment, and no one probably made fun of her to her face because she's royalty.
Wait a minute!
Sirens! Sirens! Oh my gosh, sirens! Adagio and Sonata have been spotted! I repeat. Adagio and Sonata have been spotted! 
6807713
A powerful band?! Really?!
That's what you meant by that?!
6807822 I honestly did not notice that until you brought it up just now. I was only copying from Hercules! Thanks for bringing more depth to my rhyme hint.
Ooh...pinkie.mylittlefacewhen.com/media/f/img/mlfw8990-h6BBB0FF8.gif
Sonata accidentally gave Sunset and Snow protective jewelry, didn't she?
I'm going to go on a limb and say that Sunset is Snow Pea's favorite aunt.
Idea! How would you and CartoonNerd12 feel about adapting The Nutcracker with Snow Pea and Sunset as Clara and Drosselmeyer, respectively?
NO! Not Nightmare Moon!
Also, how did Snow Pea see the pendant on Sonata when Sunset didn't? Did Sunset just not notice?
6810994
We'll just say that Sunset might've forgotten about reading about the sirens and only remembered it when Apple Bloom showed her and Twilight the picture the kids drew of Adagio in pony form.
Is Pip being magically compelled to answer anybody's questions to the best of his knowledge?
6813872 Yes.
Why do I get the feeling that this will be important later on?
Is Belladonna really a corrupted Radiant Hope?
6817087 Thank you!
Way to go Pip
6813929 Is Pip like a mix between the slave in the magic mirror from Snow White and Benny from Ella Enchanted (movie)?
Belladonna is wearing the Water Necklace, isn't she?
6817853 Thank you so much for posting the video!
6817826 Well, yes, if you'd like to call it that.
Ooh, Discord are you thinking what I think you're thinking?
I think I know what Discord is thinking!
So, when does Snow Pea's enhanced ice powers come into play?
Poor, poor inner Luna.
Is Starlight truly asleep..?
In that case, I'm going to need more popcorn.
6828429 I think that would be a wise thing to do.
I. Love. It.
I want Starlight to be redeemed in this story now...
A chapter that focuses on Starlight's motives and I have to say that I throughly enjoyed it!
I'm sorry, but I can't find the Hey Arnold reference. I love the chapter though. Will Starlight's story be resolved in this installment, or is it going to be a sequel hook? By the way, do you and CartoonNerd12 ship Starburst?
Is the voice that was helping Discord inner Luna?
6835073 The reference was the lost tribe in the jungle. In Hey, Arnold!, there's a jungle tribe called the Green-Eyed People. Since ponies have different colors for eye colors, I decided to make this tribe rainbow-eyed, to keep it unique. As for the Starburst shipping, I'm behind it 100%! My sister, however, has some reservations. She needs to know what Sunburst is like before she ships the couple completely. However, she thinks there is potential and she sees them as cute.
And you do realize that the shipping name belongs to a candy?
6835079 I'd like to think of it as Sunset Shimmer's voice.
Gilda, somethin' tells me you either want some bits, or something more.
Gilda's going to make them help the griffons find the idol, isn't she?
6835283 That's what makes it so adorable. It's like how Flashlight is the name of a type of light or how Cheesepie is the name of an actual food. I'm not kidding about the Cheesepie. Look it up.
6841444 Oh, wow! Thanks for letting me know!
Screwball with the Jedi mind trick! I love it.
I also loved the "Daddy Discord" reference that you were able to sneak in there. 
6849391
Of course. That's her favorite nickname for him.
I can't believe what I'm saying, but I'm with Discord on this one. Look, Sunset, someone has got to wear the vest, and the only ones who aren't already wearing something are Discord, Spike, and their daughters. I personally vote for Spike.
6852113 I vote for Discord. And yeah, someone's gotta wear that thing or it'll be even more dangerous.
Is snow pea's crown the same crown of the ice king from adventure time?!?!
It's the Plunger of DOOOOOOOM!
I vote they wake up button by puting the vest on him.
I bet he'll be excited to wake up,after all that time,to the realisation that he can fly!!!!!
6857793 Shoot! Why didn't I think of that?
6855061 I have never seen that show.
