This story is a sequel to Detention

As the springtime begins to bloom in Equestria, something else starts to stir in the hearts of ponies the world over. Hearts and Hooves Day is coming, and Soarin has a plan. With the school year finally over, he and Thunderlane finally have time to spend together as a couple, with their first steamy encounter in Miss Horsefeather's classroom now a fond, if awkward, memory.

To celebrate their newfound freedom and to assuage some nagging doubts about their relationship, Soarin vows to make this Hearts and Hooves Day the best one ever. The problem is, the best-laid plans of Ponykind often go awry...

In the wake of a joyful wedding between his best friend White Lance and his beautiful new wife, former guard captain Shining Armour receives another reason to celebrate: the Deer of the forest realm of Cervidas want peace after nearly four decades of hostility, and the Crystal Prince and Princess will act as Equestria's emissaries.

But as the pony ambassadors arrive in the Deer capital of Concordia, a brilliant villain awaits - harbouring a cruel secret that could lead to the destruction of not just Equestria, but half the known world. Shining Armour and Princess Cadence will face their greatest challenge yet in the cold snowlands of Cervidas...

After the initial wonder and excitement of ascending to the ranks of Equestria's Princesses, a sudden realisation comes to Twilight: her immortality...and how she will outlive her friends.

When the fateful day finally arrives, Twilight calls Princess Celestia to the shores of Eternity's Crossing, the Great Sea of the world...to ask for one final favour.
