When a charity organization asked Luna to speak at a dinner, she agreed without a second thought, and refused all help writing her speech.

Now the speech is tomorrow, and she has bupkis.

Oops.

Princess Luna is in Ponyville once more for Nightmare Night.

Somepony else is not.

It's a problem Luna wishes she could solve.

An entry for Imposing Sovereigns III.

Twilight Sparkle returns from a trip to Canterlot to discover the Castle of Friendship looking considerably worse for wear.

Who could have done this, and more importantly, why?

Recently crowned Princess of Equestria Twilight Sparkle wakes up after a bender, and tries to piece together what happened.

Perhaps she should be Princess of Wine and Questionable Decision Making instead.

The last time Twilight Sparkle was in a maze where Discord was involved, the result was disastrous.

So why did her friends just force her into another maze of Discord's making? And why is she so angry about it?

Originally written in two hours for the Iron Author competition at Everfree Northwest 2021. The 'unedited' version that was submitted for the contest can be found in Chapter Two.

(Scores given to the original version by three judges, out of a possible 25 points, were 20, 22, and 7, respectively)

Princess of Harmony.
Princess of the Night.
Princess of Love.
Princess of Magic.

Twilight always assumed these roles were natural and unchanging - titles that merely reflected the inherent power of the bearers.

Now, she can't help wondering if that assumption was incorrect.

Applejack didn't plan on kissing Rainbow Dash. It just happened, really.

Now Rainbow Dash wants answers...and Applejack isn't sure she has them.

Shining Armor will tell you that he suffered no long-term ill effects from his encounter with Queen Chrysalis.

Nor did he experience any lingering problems from his fights with King Sombra or Lord Tirek.

None whatsoever. Absolutely not. Everything in his life is perfect. Happily married to a beautiful mare (who happens to be a princess!), Prince Consort in his own right, a kingdom of his own to help run...there is absolutely nothing wrong at all.

Shining Armor is a liar.

A side story to my Four Princesses, Four Demons series, which began with Cadance the Unbroken. Readers of that series will notice a few connections, but this story is crafted to be enjoyed independently.

When Discord drops by the donut shop one morning, Joe is understandably nervous. When the draconequus keeps coming back, the baker soon realizes his life is better with Discord in it.

Discord comes to the same conclusion.

One of them just needs to admit it to the other.

Thanks to Mykola for the pre-read, Punished Bean for talking through a few sections, and to CrazyDiamond and everyone else for listening to me ramble on about this one.

Art combined by me from two sources.
