Twilight Sparkle was never born. As a mare, anyway. Instead, this story stars the young colt Dusk Shine, personal protoge of Celestia, asocial bookworm, and (unknownst to him) super-cute pretty boy.
When Celestia sends Dusk Shine to Ponyville, all he wants to do is prepare for Nightmare Moon's return. But when five certain mares each develop a massive crush on Dusk, he'll have more on his plate than Twilight ever did. (No clop scenes, I Pinkie Promise)
Hey, author of the story here. You might have noticed that there's a big ugly Cancelled at the bottom of all those chapters. This is only half true. The story is actually continuing under the name of a different author, White Rabbit. In fact, you're probably here to get a little recap for his version of it. It's okay, nobody's judging you. When you're done reading this (and by god, I hope you have a lot of spare time for that), go here for the continuation.
