Two ponies were talking in The old Canterlot Castle in the Everfree Forest.  Snowdrop was talking to luna on the fifth anniversary of the first snow flake.  Luna spoke first. “Please be careful on your way home tonight,” to which the little filly, now five years older, agreed.  As luna walked Snowdrop out to the front door, she shook a little as she watched her leave.

Celestia walked up behind her, seeing Luna’s concern.  “What’s wrong?” Luna had no idea, she simply had a feeling in her gut.  “I don’t know, but there is something more to everything this HeartsWarming Eve, and there is something bigger afoot out in the darkness this divine night.” Luna walked back to her room as the sun disappeared behind the mountain, and cast down an ever-darkening shadow over the valley.  Luna prepared to do her duty as defender of dreams, as she went to work in the dream world. She felt a heaviness grow in her the moment she felt herself remembering something.
