My Faithful Student Twilight Sparkle...
The lost kingdom of the Crystal Empire has returned from a long period of, well, being lost. I will have to miss this years Summer Sun celebration, as this matter has become one of an utmost urgency.
Since I am working twice as hard during a national holiday, I have decided you should have a break. I have arranged for you to be escorted to Ponyville. Hopefully, you will be able to get out of those dusty old books and make some friends. I know the concept of making friends may seem scary for you at first, but I have every confidence that you will do so with the same vigor you study magic.
I have prepared a chariot to escort you immediately. I hope you have a wonderful vacation Twilight.
Know that I love you, and that I am with you in spirit.
Your friend and mentor,
Princess Celestia.
When I first received that message from Princess Celestia, I had no way of knowing it would be the beginning of the least relaxing vacation ever. I had no way of knowing me and my friends were about to fulfill destiny. I had no way of knowing that this would be the beginning of a long year, fighting Discord, Nightmare Moon, Megalomaniacal unicorns, and other subtler dangers.
This is the story of me and my friends, the Elements of Harmony.
This is the story of a precocious group of fillies called the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
This is the story of Princess Celestia, as she fights physically and politically to keep Equestria safe.
This is the story Three Seasons in the making.
Hmmm.. all threats at once? Has potential.
Interesting. I like.
Genius. 'Nuff said.
Interesting, will watch.
Huh. Points for originality.
I'll read this later, but the idea is quite interesting and unique.
You've got a couple typos, like Twilight not being capitalized in the beginning, and the first two letters of clumsy in Little Miss Clumsy are capitalized, instead of just the first.
I like the idea.
This is an awesome idea. I'll favorite it. Can't wait for more!
Hmmm.... Everything evil in the first three seasons occurring simultaneously? I've never seen this tried before. Continue!

Mother of God... this... this is going to be aw- oh wait, you forgot to capitalize the first letter in a sentence "especially when their patience" near the end -esome. I'm getting the same jitters one gets when two endless armys are charging at each other.
And you know what? This story may be just as destructive and epic as one.
(Yes, I am setting high standards, because the premise is awesome, and the first chapter didn't suck.)
I applaud you for this brilliant idea. Continue, good sir!
welp, I'm hooked
and since the actual show didn't merit Twilight becoming an alicorn (in my opinion), maybe dealing with two evil gods and a shadow-wraith at once will live up to the hype...
please, do continue
2289844 Why is the alternate universe tag present?

...and a changeling queen. Can't forget her.
Plus there's various "little bads" like the diamond dogs, quarry eels, timber wolves, Gilda, poison joke...
Oh this is going to be good. How will Celestia react when she find's out Discord is loose too? Will any background ponies play a more important part than they did in the show?

I was just going off of what was mentioned in this chapter, and we didn't get any wedding cues yet
2290086
I'm glad your standards are high. I hope I live up to them.
2290661
Maybe so. Will also be dealing differently with Gilda and Mare-Do-Well.
2292690
... Because this takes place in an alternate universe?
2292796
She will probably do something hilarious. And yes, look at the story image.
And now it's time to play everyone's favorite game. Absolutely everything that could go wrong at the same time, is going wrong at the same time.
2294950 How so?
2296907
It takes place in a universe tangent to the MLP canon universe. It is a 'What If...' scenario. 'What If's are pretty much the definition of Alternate Universe fics, right?
You don't think it's an alternate universe fic?
2297346 I'm judging everything by the description.
very intrigued, looking forward to more.
Reminds me of one of my favorite phrases: "When sorrows come, they come not single spies, But in battalions"

In terms of percentages, (ex:10%) how close is the next chapter to this fanfic to being completed?
Just so we're clear here you have every intention of finishing this fanfic, right?
2340947
Dude, of course I have every intention of finishing this fanfic!
I'm not a very fast writer though. Terms of percentages, next chapter is roughly ten percent. Might be faster or slower given the nature of my free time next week.
And nah, never considered E.D.
Woah woah woah wait what? My had hurts too much, it's like everything...together...like crazy...this is totally AWESOME!!!!!
I'm really looking forward to seeing all these plots come together.
Dude, you're rewriting three years' worth of madness into two days
Go fuckin' nuts!!
I LOVE THIS FANFIC!!! You have got to submit this to Equestria Daily. You can do so here.
"The Pegasus was grey, with a blonde coat. She shook her own mane, then glance at Twilight’s. "
“I’m Twilight Sparkle.” Twilight said, shaking Derpy’s hand."
Might wanna fix that .
I love this Story, Schröder . Just one Question, Are Cadaence and Shining Armor married already in your Story ?
And what i never understood, not even in the Show itself, is why everyone is surprised that The Mare in the Moon is Celestias Sister .
2580583
Nope, Cadence and Shining will get married in the end.

I'm glad you think it's that good. Maybe I will, once I have some spare time.
yay! I wasn't nontified this updated. Looking forward to more
This story is great. I really look forward to reading more. By the way love the twist with Lyra falling for Spike.
I'd read this in a heartbeat if there were more. But it seems you haven't been on in at least like eleven weeks.
I'll keep an eye on it for eventual continuation.
Well now, that was definitely an interesting read to say the least, went through it in a heart beat,
hope you do continue this story, I do like to them getting out of this mess
Please get back to this?
