Life used to exist... somewhat peacefully, rarely facing more than the dangers found within its own atmosphere, some didn't even think that the infinite darkness above them posed any real threat to them.

That was, of course, before the Cataclysm. It was known by most civilizations as the most desperate grab for survival ever witnessed in their combined histories.

No one ever expected it.

And no one ever wanted it.

But most would agree that in the end, they would never try to undo what came of it.

This story is most certainly a work in progress, I am just writing as I go and thus you can expect that character tags and category tags will change frequently. I apologize if this is not something you like, but it is necessary so that I don't send the wrong message in the end.

Constructive criticism is also appreciated, and maybe some help, or something. You don't really have to though if that's not your thing I don't mind...

Princess Cadence is hoping to learn more about ponies' boundaries and to get some interesting stories to tell the other royals, mostly the latter. To do this she is making all the citizens of Equestria love a single pony for a day. Chaos ensues.

The princesses have always been known as at least somewhat immortal, so how do they cope when their loved ones pass on? Perhaps those born as alicorns will take it just fine but what about Twilight, could she possibly forget her friends and move on, or will she try to reunite with them?
