A terrible new day rises when a tragedy, foreseen only by Celestia but preventable by none, occurs right in the middle of Canterlot, turning Twilight Sparkle's world upside-down. Now, all of Equestria is looking to her to hold the broken nation together, all while she tries to pick up the pieces of her shattered life.

A/N: Yes, the title was based of the Dragonforce song of the same name, you may stop postulating about it now.

After she and her friends reveal Starlight Glimmer's secret, Twilight attempts to give the ex-mayor of the equal ponies village the same lesson in friendship she gives to every evil being they come across.

With distinctive and significant differences.

The day after the Grand Galloping Gala, Discord realises that there's still one more pony he needs to apologise to...

Princess Celestia has invited Twilight to visit her in Canterlot to attend a royal banquet, and she is excited to see her beloved mentor again! When she arrives she is shown through the castle to see Celestia and notices majestic bouts of beautiful magic, namingly a gorgeous incantation that covers the ceilings of the mystic castle. The enchantment mesmerizes Twilight, and when the Princess of the Sun explains to her that it is her sister, Princess Luna's charm that inhabits the brilliant archways. After a delightful dinner with the princesses, Twilight spends time with Luna and is shown the secrets to the the magic of the Princess of the Night. It is a magical evening that brings the two closer than they would have ever imagined....

Discord isn't quite used to this "multiple friendships" thing yet. He has a lot left to learn, so Twilight Sparkle thought it would be a great idea for her friends to join Discord and Fluttershy for tea this week.

As eager as Fluttershy's other friends are to teach Discord about friendship in groups, they might have a thing or two to learn themselves.

Written for The Writeoff Association's "I Regret Nothing" contest.

Applejack has been known to be a stubborn pony. When she dies, she is convinced it is her time. Discord, however, comes in, and he doesn't want her to die. Why is Discord doing this, though? And why does Applejack keep refusing?

XXXXXXXX

A little one-shot I came up with. I made this story in an attempt to actually make a serious story. I'm not quite sure I succeeded.

Everyone is dead. She doesn't know who is responsible, just that somepony activated the ultimate weapon. Only four ponies survived and now try to find meaning in the great wasteland. Celestia will just be happy if she can find a way to heal Twilight.

Celestia loves Twilight Sparkle. That is a fact, an indisputable constant of the universe. What that love means, however, is much less certain. The love of a teacher. The love of a friend. The love that Celestia dares not name. Every tick of the clock demands her answer, for while Celestia is timeless, Twilight is not.

Celestia has only a single lifetime to make her decision, but Twilight will wait. She always has, and she always will.

Tick. Tick. Tick.

Twilight finds it a bit difficult to reconcile Celestia's playful new manner with the regal teacher she knew for so long.

Once she does, however, the benefits are plain to see.
