During a routine shopping trip, Starlight Glimmer has a chance encounter with a pony espousing some incensing rhetoric to anypony near enough to hear. Eager to prevent a potential problem, and maybe prove she can do some good, she inserts herself into the situation.

As Celestia can attest, nothing is ever simple. A stallion may walk through a portal in a huff and everycreature may cheer his departure, but that doesn't make him any less of an important functionary in the greater scheme of things. And so, while the Princess of Friendship can handle the straightforward task of averting world war, Celestia must shoulder a heavier burden.

She has to convince a bureaucrat that he made a mistake.

Rarity and Twilight were hardly the only ponies who noticed Applejack's increasingly inefficient methods. They were just the first ones who got her to listen. Getting them into the position to do so took more than a little finesse on the parts of some unsung heroes.

Hearth's Warming is a time for coming together, whether that means an estranged grandfather, a new very special somepony, or the distant cousin who you lost touch with after meeting said somepony.

Wait.

Uh oh.

Rainbow Dash can handle busting the clouds or bringing in a weather front in her sleep, but there's more to being the captain of the Ponyville Weather Patrol than just the weather work.

With the roof of the Town Hall wrecked by lightning, Dash has to deal with not just the increasingly irate Mayor, but also her second-in-command Cloudkicker's impending nervous breakdown, and one highly apologetic, wall-eyed pegasus...

With Princess Cadence and Prince-Captain Shining Armor out on a date together, Thorax is charged with caring for their darling filly. Which means tonight is the perfect time for important things like pouncing lessons, complete with live guards to surprise!

Nopony ever said being Captain of the Guard and prince of a long lost empire was easy, but Shining Armor never imagined having to deal with a problem quite like this. Apologizing to the new king of changelings, Thorax.

With Thorax set to take the throne and rule over the new changeling hive, he arranges a visit to the Crystal Empire to seek guidance from Prince Shining Armor and Princess Cadence. And Shining realizes now he must apologize to Thorax for what unfolded the last time the two met.

Can Shining Armor prove to Thorax that he has learned his lesson, and what is Thorax's real reason for coming to see Shining on such short notice?
