Prologue

Canterlot Castle, 11 PM

It's me...

Princess Celestia woke up in a panicked sweat. She had been sleeping in her bed in Canterlot Castle. After the princess of the sun glanced around her bed chamber, one of her royal guards galloped towards her in a panic. "Princess Celestia! Are you alright?!" The royal guard asked.

He looked like every other male guard under the sun princess's rule. "I'm fine, Steve Shield. It was only a nightmare." Princess Celestia said, reassuring her guard that she was okay. It was a lie. She had never been fine. Not after the "incident".

"What was the nightmare about? You can't be fine if you awoken in a panic." The guard asked. Concern filling his eyes. This guard in particular had grown rather close to the sun princess recently. Celestia sighed before replying. "It was about Twilight's." The guard looked confused and shocked at the same time.

"Twilight's? Do you mean Twilight Sparkle's Royal Canterlot Bakery?" The sun princess nodded.

"I know that you miss your old protégé, Twilight Sparkle, but you have to move on, your highness." Princess Celestia nodded and said: "Your right. But she was only my protégé for a few months. Not even a year."

The guard seemed to lighten up at the statement. "Hey, I know something that could take your mind off your student for a while." The guard said cheerfully. "You can apply to be a night security guard at Twilight Sparkle's! I bet seeing your very own creations will cheer you up a bit."

This made the sun princess ponder about this option. She was the one who built the robots there, and she hadn't seen them since, due to her duties and the disappearance of her former student, she gave the small location to one of Canterlot's largest company's.

"Thank you. I'll think about it." With that response, the guard trotted out of the room while the sun princess was left with her thoughts. After a few minutes of pondering, she mentally agreed and decided to take the shift tomorrow night. She then went back to sleep.

"Happy birthday, Twilight."

"Thank you for taking me here! This is the best birthday ever!"

"Ah agree. Thank ya kindly for inviting me to ya student's birthday party, your highness."

"Your welcome, AppleJack and Twilight."
