The lunar solstice is right around the corner. The dark pseudo-god Red has almost achieved his objective, and despite the six months that have past since their battle in Tartarus, Twilight has found nothing they can use against him.

Yet, until the world actually comes to an end, life continues on for the ponies of Equestria. This is true even for the eight foals that currently call the palace home. However, when their parents find a lead and in their absence the palace itself comes under attack, they will all be forced to grow up far sooner than they should.

Story number 13 in the Twilight is Magic series, see author notes in the first chapter for a link to the read order.
