Mac has dedicated his life to the farm, to his sisters, and Applejack feels bad for it, she feels it's time for her brother to star having fun again to have a life beyond his work, friends and even more, but she isn't going to let him go just with any other mare, no, she need something good and harmless.
Then there's Rarity, ever since the coronation she's been work on multiple designs for multiple clients, and she hasn't seen much of her friends ever since either, or done any other thing that isn't working.

For Applejack it was a matter of putting one and one together. A flawless harmless plan.

(half way trough editing)

It’s the grand galloping gala, and Princess Luna feels lonely and sad up in her tower, not finding the strength nor the joy for joining the celebrations in the main hall.
On the other side, Big Mac went to Ponyville hoping to find his sister at the gala with big sale numbers, only to find out that her plan for selling apples at the event went wrong.

Soon enough both of them will the discover the wonders that the night is hiding

A/N:
this story has Nothing to do with the other one, in case somebody ever wonders. This is just something I wrote time ago, and recently rediscovered.

Thanks, and enjoy!

Times are changing, Harmony is at its best and Equestria is in peace. But this balance cannot last. Discords Escape was the last sing Princess Luna needed to make her decision, her sister needs help.

To keep peace through the land Luna seeks the help of three ponies, convincing them to help by one way or the other, these new found companions must overcome beasts and enemies to maintain peace trough the kingdom.

This is but the beginning of the journey, one filled with adventure, fun, love, might and magic (in all of its ways). This is the tale of how Macintosh, Trixie and Derpy Hooves became the Princess’s right hoof and heroes of Equestria.
