And everything changed.
To celebrate Nightmare Night, Ponyville's local group of country-saving friends decides to take a small trip to the forest, and once there each one of them gets to tell a story.
Being the metaphysical manifestation of Magic itself existing beyond the borders of reality and tasked with fixing the multiverse before it collapses is no easy task. But at least Pinkie is there to keep Twilight company.
There's a door in Twilight's castle. She doesn't know where it leads to, she doesn't know why it's there. But it is. Sometimes, at least. It's rather hard to catch though.
The Storm King was defeated, imprisoned, shattered and dispersed. But that won't be enough to stop him from coming back. At least, that's what he thinks. Any day now.
"What has been bound to earth must never be set free"
Celestia has plunged the World into eternal daylight. Luna is defeated, the Crystal Empire trapped, and communication impossible. So clearly, the Cutie Map calls Twilight and her friends to solve the problem. Its priorities turn out to be debatable.
Defeated, humiliated, blasted to pieces, and reduced to merely a shadow. But Sombra survived. And he'll come back. He just needs to convince Flurry Heart to help him. If he can survive the holidays, that is.
Twilight and Sunset have a brief talk, and the latter ends up learning about a little hobby the other has, something she'd never mentioned before. Coincidentally, she might know more about it than Twilight suspected.
It was a perfectly normal day when Starlight left the castle. And it still was when she came back. Apart from the castle being on fire.
Twilight's plans for the day were simple. Run experiments on poison joke in the afternoon, have Rainbow Dash for dinner in the evening. The universe, unfortunately, had other plans for her. And a cruel sense of humour, given which day it had chosen.
Twilight comes back from a successful mission.
Twilight is spending Hearth's Warming together with her brother in the Crystal Empire. Tempest will be there as well. This is great news. It's not like Twilight wasn't warned until hours before the event and doesn't have a present ready as a result.
Twilight thinks that, clearly, the question calls for a long rant about why a certain porn story should be read. Twilight may have misinterpreted the situation.
According to Shining, Sunburst has been acting weird lately, and he doesn't seem to want to talk about it. When one morning he disappears, Twilight decides it's time to check on him and figure out what the problem is. The answer is rather unexpected.
