Boys make no sense at all. One minute they're playing freeze tag with you, the next they're arguing with you over the rules (that they're OBVIOUSLY WRONG about) like dumb idiots.

And worse, they accuse you of having cooties.

My name is Sunburst. I'm a mage studying magic in Canterlot under Perfect Circle. I don't have everything I could ever want, but I can't complain.

Her name was Starlight Glimmer. I spent my entire foalhood with her. We played, we fought, joked and talked. I knew all her secrets and she knew mine. I don't remember us ever being apart before I got my cutie mark.

She never expected that the Crusaders would still be alive.

Thanks to Rated Ponystar for help with this story. Wouldn't have finished it without ya.
Also, someone did a reading of it here, if you're into that sorta thing.

The Canterlot Wedding was a disaster. The Changeling Queen took the lives of Celestia, Twilight, and the bride and groom. Only Luna remains now to patch up her broken nation, but Chrysalis has approached her with an offer she can't refuse: Become her lover.

Luna accepts.
