Important notice: Takes place between Season 3 and Season 4.

Other important (if late) note: This is a romantic clop with emphasis on story and characters. Don't read if that's not your cup of tea.

Shortly after the coronation, Rainbow Dash and Twilight meet for a little reading session: the first issue of the revamped 'Daring Do' series. It's a new take on the franchise, appealing to a more adult audience.

Perhaps a little too adult.

With a few things thrown 'out in the open', the two friends come to an arrangement of sorts. Twilight agrees to hypnotise Rainbow Dash to help with intimacy problems, and Twilight herself?

Well... Twilight was always a little complex, and growing a pair of wings didn't help matters much.

Sometimes ponies keep secrets, sometimes ponies get hurt by things they don't even know are there.

But helping out somepony in need is what friends are for, right? It's not like this could end badly in any sort of way...

Right?
