When "Rara" Coloratura returns to the big city where she once lived, she just happens to have some spare time. This leads her to an encounter with another showmare at the top of her game.

The two make a deal, and quickly become friends. One day, during a friendly little chat, Trixie asks Rara about something that's been bothering her.

The answer reminds her about something important.

Hearth's Warming is a magical time of year, and not just because of the actual magic. Joy and friendship fill the air.

Joy and friendship and magic. That's still important.

Today, Twilight is tasked with meeting Trixie at the train station. However, the experience may prove to be more than she expected.

Because of the magic, you see.

Cheerilee is relaxing at home when she receives a visit from a colt from her class. Reluctantly, she agrees to help him be just like the pony he admires most.

This is going to take a long time.

It's the year 1000 CE. Everypony is in a stir over the upcoming Summer Sun Celebration. Surely, there must be something important about that number.

Professor Twilight Sparkle certainly seems to think so. Enough, in fact, to leave her tower in Canterlot, to travel to a town full of secrets and danger. Maybe, if she's lucky, she'll be able to put a stop to everything before it's too late.

Whether her boss likes it or not.

Manehattan is an old city. There aren't many surprises or mysteries left in it, except for what mysteries the ponies that live there make.

But sometimes, mysteries have a way of making themselves. When one of their own stumbles across such a mystery, the Elements of Harmony need to decide what to do about it...

Set in the Manehattanverse.

For the last month, Twilight and Trixie have been having regular skirmishes. But when Twilight decides that Trixie's presence has become so normal that she might as well be living in the library, what will Trixie do? Perhaps more importantly, what will everypony ELSE do?

Twilight Sparkle, becoming anxious at the upcoming Summer Sun Celebration, which she believes marks the return of Nightmare Moon, beseeches Princess Celestia to do something about it.

Celestia, however, has another, more important task for her; making sure that the Summer Sun Celebration goes off without a hitch. Every year, a different town is chosen to receive the honor of hosting the grand festival.

And the lucky city chosen this year, for this fateful holiday, is none other than the city of Manehattan...

Trixie has been working in the call center for months now, alongside her longtime antagonist, Rainbow Dash. But how long can she keep this up?

All of Equestria felt the Storm. It shook the world to its core, and nothing has been the same since. Great monsters have emerged in the aftermath, and greater heroes. But while everybody knows that things changed after this event, do any of them realize just how much?

As Trixie is about to learn, things could have been worse. Much worse.
