Twilight Sparkle enjoys spending a little time with the cutie mark crusaders, if only to pretend for a short time that her life could have been different.

Perhaps in some other timeline, with some other princess, a life where monsters and the salvation of Equestria isn't her responsibility... a life that she knows she will never have.

A simple life.

A happy life.

Thanks for inspiration goes to Mysticalpha for the short comic.
