Twilight notices that Princess Luna has taken a rather interesting approach to arranging the stars lately. However, when the princess of the night herself comes asking for help in recovering her stars Twilight fears the worst. Twilight, Luna, and Spike set off on a search that will take them to places Twilight has only read in books. Will they be able to locate the source of the problem? What exactly is making them disappear? Can they do anything to stop it from happening?

This story is a sequel to Dear Princess Celestia

It has been three months and fourteen days of silence from Princess Celestia. Twilight has suffered from insomnia, anxiety, depression, and malnutrition. Spike and her friends have tried everything they could think of to get her to spend time with them or take a break outside. Nothing has worked and just when everything seems hopeless, a letter arrives. A letter from Princess Celestia, though something seems a bit off.

Celestia has started to take vacations and no one is objecting to it. Though this year she seems to have some hesitancy in doing so, why is that?

It was a night just like the one before, Spike was cleaning and Twilight was studying and beginning another letter to Celestia. Another letter detailing something she had learned, another letter that asked the princess questions, another letter that went unanswered.

Trixie decides to run some errands after her show in Ponyville. She runs into some fans and helps out a yellow mare at the marketplace. There they have a conversation about her show.
