Will neighboring nations become friend or foe? Can her rulership survive the enemies lurking in the shadows ready to sabotage her every effort? Among these obstacles are foes the Alicorns and element bearers would have faced...

NOTE- I began this story early into season 5, accordingly much of the changeling lore in this story won't match details shown in Season 6 and beyond.

Cheese Sandwich, the premier party planner in all of Equestria. With a large grin, musical talent, and a head full of crazy ideas with the skills to make them happen, this stallion polkas has way through life, making parties bigger and better wherever he goes.

Tomato Sandwich, a relatively low-key college student. Frugal and sensible, with a penchant for sarcasm and casual indifference to any weirdness that comes his way, he's simply content with having a mostly normal life.

Imagine Pinkie Pie's surprise when she learns that not only are these two stallions brothers, but they seem to hate each other. Thinking that their current relationship just won't do, she attempts to get them to mend their brotherly bond, hoping that they would be the "Best Brother Buddies" she knows they could be.

Now if only they would cooperate.
