The mane six, Spike, Aita, and the changeling rulers are summoned at the announcement of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna's retirement, Chrysalis responding with her own. Even Starlight will be moving in with Sunburst all the while. This news ends up getting to Aita unlike anything before. Meanwhile, Discord makes a low-effort attempt to bring past foes together with the choice of teaming up or venturing alone.

These are the alternate events of The Beginning of the End.
