What if things hadn't turned out the way they did? What if the Young Six were never found? With six kingdoms at unease, it would only be too easy to paint each other in a bad light. Accusations flew and with the distrustful spark, things soon escalated. Realizing their mistake, the Young Six returned to their own kind, resigned to never see each other again. However, this was not enough to stop the war. Something saw this chaos that had overcome all of the lands and was pleased. It has been long forgotten why the war started but it continues to rage, built on all the lies mistrust that has been spread.

It's that time of year again, where everything gets icy and cold. Or colder than usual, considering how Crystal Prep Academy usually is. Despite all of that, six Shadowbolts gather together to celebrate the holidays. The Friendship Games are a strange thing for it seems that it was the little something that was needed to warm these girls' hearts. As for Twilight's appearance at the gathering, you know what they say: once a Shadowbolt, always a Shadowbolt. And of course, Indigo's favorite thing to do is hang mistletoe just about everywhere.

As for the sex tag, it's hardly anything explicit in my opinion, just a warning. It's more fluffy than anything else, I think. I may find time to do a part two to this fic if people express interest.

Parallel lines are lines in a plane that do not meet; that is, two lines in a plane that do not intersect or touch each other at any point, completely in sync but never touching. Two girls, living completely ordinary, completely similar lives, on the very same plane of existence, yet never touching, never meeting and never, ever overlapping. All of that changes one day when Lemon Zest's father's job requires their family to move and with the Friendship Games drawing in, perhaps those lines will very soon meet.

If you are wondering, Lemon Zest has ADHD and Synaesthesia as well as some speech issues
