[2 out of 2 Christmas Specials, 2016]

Pinkie has endured much since the war began, and both her and two of her sisters were finally starting to get on their legs again, until an event happened that made them question their choices, and what they'd been taught about this new regime.

For one night, there was laughter unleashed, and kindess unseen.

For one night, there was generosity unfounded, and honesty uncovered.

On that one night, that one fateful night, there was magic that inspired them all, Dotsy and Equestrian alike...

Short-lived as it was, that one night would live on in the memories of all who survived the war, as the night that loyalty both saved and destroyed.

[Rated T for intense action, and brief innuendo]
