Twilight Sparkle (G4)/Synopsis

The synopsis of Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
=My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic=
==Past==
Twilight was born a unicorn and was inspired from a young age to learn magic after witnessing Princess Celestia raise the sun at the Summer Sun Celebration. She took the entrance exam to enter Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, in which she had to magically hatch a dragon's egg. At first, she was unable to do so, but a burst of energy from Rainbow Dash's sonic rainboom outside unleashed her magical potential, causing her to start firing off spells uncontrollably until the sun alicorn was able to reach her and subdue her magic. As a result of this, the purple filly gained her cutie mark, and Celestia took her as a personal student.
==Season 1==
===Friendship is Magic===
After reading up on Equestria's backstory, Twilight decided to study more on this issue, ignoring her Canterlot friends' invitation to a party. On her way to the study room, she meets up with Spike and after some reading, they discover a prophecy on the return of Nightmare Moon, the villain of the previous backstory.
Twilight quickly writes a letter to Princess Celestia, the person responsible for Nightmare Moon's banishment, monarch of Equestria, and the purple unicorn's mentor, that the evil alicorn may return, the sun alicorn was oddly not worried about this and decided to send her to Ponyville with Spike to prepare for the Summer Sun Celebration.
During her time there, she ends up meeting up with the ponies who'll later become her best friends in the future though at this moment, she finds them exhausting. After the day was over, she decided to take a break at her assigned home at Ponyville, that being Golden Oak Library. Before going to bed, she confided to Spike about her exhaustion and possibility that Princess Celestia had simply sent her here because she didn't believe the purple unicorn's warning. 
At the day of the celebration, Princess Celestia did not show up and instead, blue fog began to cover the place and once it was clear... Nightmare Moon arrives. Twilight correctly guesses her name, impressing the evil alicorn who proceeds to explain her plans to plunge Equestria into eternal night before fleeing the place, much to the horror of everyone present.
Twilight along with the rest of the Mane Six arrived at Golden Oak library to learn about the method to defeat this new threat. It came in the form of magical items sealed away in a faraway place known as the "Elements of Harmony". With that, she joined the rest of the group in their journey to retrieve these items, unaware that Nightmare Moon had been listening in on their conversation.
After surviving the many threats before them, the Mane Six eventually arrived at where the elements were contained, only to immediately be attacked by Nightmare Moon, resulting in the destruction of the elements. Luckily, Twilight soon realized the true nature of the elements and how each of her friends represents a piece of them, allowing for the recovery of the elements which were turned into necklaces.
This was followed by the rest of the Mane Six floating over the evil alicorn and blasting her with a rainbow-colored beam, reverting her to her less evil form, Princess Luna. After hearing Princess Celestia's explanation on her relations to her sister, the rest of the group went back to celebrate Luna's return.
===The Ticket Master===
While helping out Applejack with apple harvesting, Twilight was approached by Spike who was bringing two tickets to the gala. With this knowledge, her friends began to approach her with their own reasonings for wanting to go to the gala. Uncomfortable with this, the purple unicorn explains that she needs time to think.
However, during this time, Twilight's friends began approaching her and attempt to bribe her with various items and services. The worst came when Pinkie Pie inadvertently informed all of Ponyville of the purple unicorn's extra ticket, forcing her and Spike to flee and hide. Back at the library, her friends are somehow all back which finally broke Twilight as she did not want to disappoint any of them.
In the end, the Mane Six agreed to all not go to the gala with Twilight sending a letter to Princess Celestia to return her tickets. However, the sun alicorn simply explained that she had made a mistake and proceeded to send back a few extra tickets, allowing for the rest of the Mane Six to be invited to the gala. This will be important later at the final episode of the season. 
===Applebuck Season===
Twilight was responsible for the speech during Applejack's appreciation ceremony before getting interrupted by her friends. Unlike them however, she noticed the orange pony's tiredness and repeatedly offered help after every incident caused by her exhaustion though every time, she refused until she finally broke down and accepted her friends' help.
===Griffon the Brush Off===
During her reading session, Twilight found herself bothered by Pinkie Pie's explanation on Rainbow Dash's acrobatics. Luckily, the pink pony eventually stopped after seeing the blue pegasus fly past them. Later after getting berated by Gilda, Pinkie Pie asks the purple unicorn for advice which is when she is told to simply improve her attitude.
===Boast Busters===
After a session of magic practice with Spike, Twilight decided to go on a stroll where she explains how magic works for unicorns. This explanation was interrupted by news on the arrival of a particularly great and powerful unicorn under the name of Trixie Lulamoon. The two decided to check out the show, finding it to be unimpressive with lots of special effects and unsubstantiated feats of greatness.
Once the show was over, Trixie decided to let anyone challenge her which she wins through the use of her magic. When it comes to Twilight's turn, she decided not to step forth, allowing the blue unicorn to claim herself to be the most amazing unicorn in Equestria along with the benefits that come with it. Later Spike checks up on the purple unicorn who explains her fear of showing off and possibly losing her friends, much to the baby dragon's annoyance.
Sometime later, Trixie's fans lead an Ursa Minor to Ponyville as they recall her ability to vanquish the beast as one of her feats. Unfortunately, the blue unicorn is unable to do so, revealing that she had lied about it. Twilight later arrived and with her magic, she managed to repel the bear out of town, earning the respect of her friend and exposing Trixie for the fraud that she is before she fled. This will be important later...
===Dragonshy===
Fluttershy rushed to town after seeing a cloud of smoke which she believed to be a fire. Unfortunately, due to her soft voice and meek attitude, she failed to get anyone's attention, until Twilight intervenes. The Mane Six were later warned that the smoke is caused by a dragon which they need to deal with. After some preparation, the team went off to find the dragon which the yellow pegasus is particularly afraid of, paralyzing her temporarily and causing her to be extremely jumpy throughout the journey even with Pinkie Pie's encouraging songs.
Thankfully, the Mane Six eventually arrived at the cave the dragon was at though Fluttershy had to stay behind out of fear. With the dragon in sight, the ponies try and figure out a way to get it to leave with Twilight attempting to reason with it, without any success. Rainbow Dash's attempt however enraged the dragon and in its rampage, it broke the yellow pegasus' hiding spot.
Seeing her friends in danger, Fluttershy manages to steel her will and approach the dragon. She was able to frighten the dragon with her tone, getting him to listen. With some stern talking and reasoning, she convinced the dragon to leave, earning her the praise of her friends. Despite this act of courage, she has not completely learned her lesson and ended up freezing up due to a leaf landing on her back.
===Look Before You Sleep===
Before Applejack and Rarity’s argument can escalate, Twilight invites the two to take cover in the library where they can stay for the night. As Spike was away, the purple unicorn decided to use this opportunity to experience her first slumber party with a guidebook for reference. Not wanting to ruin the fun, her friends agreed to stop their arguments as they go through various activities in the guidebook.
Twilight finally notices the issue after an all-out pillow war between Applejack and Rarity, prompting her to send the two to sleep. Their continuous bickering finally frustrated the purple unicorn and as she vented her frustration, a tree ends up crashing through the building. In this situation, Twilight desperately searches through her guidebook for a solution.
Luckily, Applejack and Rarity made amends during the disaster and managed to get the tree out. In the end, the three got to spend the rest of the slumber party without any incidents until the storm finally stopped. 
===Bridle Gossip===
Arriving at Ponyville, Twilight and Spike noticed the place to be empty. The two were quickly called in to Sugarcube Corner where their friends are hiding. They quickly briefed the two on Zecora, a mysterious figure who occasionally arrives at Ponyville to run some errands though the rest of the townsfolk believes her to be an evil enchantress. Despite her imposing form, the purple unicorn figured out that she was a merely a zebra and that the rest of the town is racist.
While observing the zebra, Apple Bloom, Applejack's sister, leaves to follow her, forcing the rest of the Mane Six to follow her to her home. Upon retrieving the yellow filly, Zecora came back to her home, scaring the rest of the ponies as the zebra tries to warn them on the Poison Joke plants outside her house. Said plants had randomized biological manipulating properties and in Twilight’s case, her horn became flaccid and covered in blue spots which prompted Spike to call her "Twilight Flopple".
While the Mane Six are figuring out what to do with these issues, Apple Bloom disappears again to confront Zecora and after some issues, the rest of the team arrives to find her stirring something in a pot while mentioning the yellow filly's name. After some confrontation, it is revealed that Zecora was not evil at all and that Apple Bloom is still alive and coming back.
Along with the rest of the Mane Six, Twilight is cured of her affliction.
===Swarm of the Century===
After discovering a parasprite, Fluttershy decides to bring it to Ponyville to show to others, unaware that it had the ability to consume large amounts of matter and perform mitosis upon eating enough. While Twilight did not recognize it, Pinkie Pie did, prompting her to leave and get a few instruments. The purple unicorn later gives these horrifying insects to her friends.
The next day, Twilight and Spike find the library covered in parasprites who are consuming the books and parchments, terrifying the former greatly as it may ruin Princess Celestia’s visitation with her friends also experiencing the capabilities of the parasprites. Shenanigans ensue, ending in the swarm flying to Ponyville and wrecking havoc.
Luckily this is all dealt with at the end of the episode.
===Winter Wrap Up===
Excited for her first participation at the Winter Wrap-Up, Twilight wakes up particularly early in the morning with Spike being annoyed at being awoken too early. The baby dragon was right in this complaint as upon exiting the house, the purple unicorn found the place still dark. A few hours later, Twilight arrives to listen to Mayor Mare’s briefing. Once done, the purple unicorn offered her services to various teams with little success.
While resting at the library, Spike suggests that Twilight use her magic despite it being banned for the occasion. For some reason, she took that advice to heart and while helping Applejack with the snow plough, she casts a spell on it. This caused a disaster which made a big mess with the orange pony being particularly angry at her for using magic, prompting her to flee in sadness.
Spike eventually finds Twilight hiding in a bush, unwilling to exit it until the event is over. The two notice Mayor Mare meeting up with most of the teams who are all having issues with their jobs that may hinder the Winter Wrap-Up. Seeing this, the purple unicorn offers to help them organize, something she is particularly good at.
With Twilight’s directions, the ponies managed to finish the Winter Wrap-Up before the day was over. As gratitude, Mayor Mare creates a brand new position for the purple unicorn to fill, that being the “All-Team Organizer”, much to her delight.
===Fall Weather Friends===
Twilight joins up the rest of her friends in their attempt to help Applejack and Rainbow Dash settle their score. In the end, the two continue to disagree until they decide to join the "Running of the Leaves" race. While the two are moving over to the starting line, they noticed the purple unicorn there as well for her first "Running of the Leaves" event, earning her mockery.
After a series of cheap tricks, the two ended up in last place and worse still, Twilight had won 5th place which she explained to be due to her following some advice on a book. 
===Suited For Success===
Twilight joins the rest of the Mane Six in their request for gala dresses from Rarity. As with everyone else, she was less than impressed by the white unicorn's efforts, pointing out issues when pressured. She also appears later in both fashion shows Rarity set up.
===Feeling Pinkie Keen===
During spell practice, Spike notices Pinkie Pie walking around with an umbrella hat due to her tail twitching some time ago which in her "Pinkie Sense" means that objects are about to fall. At first Twilight was dismissive though a frog later falls on her face from Fluttershy's basket. The pink pony later feels another tail twitch and yet her friend remains unconvinced, until she falls into a ditch.
Despite being warned by Applejack, Twilight still dismisses the existence of a "Pinkie Sense", only for Pinkie Pie to come over after her ears were flopping. She offered the purple unicorn a bath which came in handy as she is later splattered in mud. During the bath, the pink pony proceeds to explain some examples of her "Pinkie Sense" which includes one for a prediction of alligators in a bathtub.
Oddly enough, there was an alligator in the tub despite "Pinkie Sense" not triggering, later revealed that it was merely Pinkie Pie's pet toothless alligator "Gummy". Later during a walk, the pink pony proceeds to compare her powers to magic which offends Twilight greatly. Arriving at Golden Oak Library, Pinkie Pie proceeds to explain how her tells can also be combined and changes depending on order which is shown when the purple unicorn slams into an opening door, the trigger being misinterpreted as "beautiful rainbow".
In an attempt to figure out how "Pinkie Sense" works, Pinkie Pie ended up being hooked up to a number of machines though she insists it doesn't work that way. She later walks out and Twilight gets slammed by a door on her way to follow her. Despite this, she refuses to give up and proceeds to stalk the pink pony to observe her senses. This ends in a variety of disasters on the purple unicorn until she finally decides to confront Pinkie Pie herself though she is aware of this.
Suddenly, her whole body starts shaking, a tell she has never experienced though she knows it'll happen at the place Fluttershy is bringing the frogs to. They quickly rush to the place alongside Spike and Applejack, finding a hydra near the yellow pegasus. After a lengthy chase scene, they manage to defeat the hydra though this event wasn't the thing "Pinkie Sense" had predicted.
After a fit of rage, Twilight finally accepts "Pinkie Sense" to be real, revealing the prediction to be her willingness to believe. In the end, she ends up accepting Pinkie Pie's predictions as well as work around them, managing to send a friendship report upon noticing a "falling objects" tell, said object being Princess Celestia.
===Sonic Rainboom===
On Rarity’s request and for the sake of testing, Twilight uses her new spell to grant her wings. Later she also arrives with the rest of her friends through the use of a spell to simply walk on clouds.
===Stare Master===
While looking for the fillies, Fluttershy instead finds Twilight petrified which she recognized to be the work of a cockatrice. Later, the yellow Pegasus finds the creature who committed this act and intimidated it into submission with her stare as well as unpetrify Twilight and the chicken.
===A Dog and Pony Show===
Twilight along with the rest of the Mane Six are alerted to Rarity's kidnapping, participating in their efforts to rescue her though in the end, she took care of herself just fine.
===Green Isn't Your Color===
During Fluttershy's preparations in the boutique, Twilight, Pinkie Pie, and Spike decide to help out with the latter revealing his crush on Rarity. The pink pony reminds the purple unicorn that breaking one's trust is an easy way to break friendships and encourages her to keep this a secret... from her friend. Later when the yellow pegasus and the white unicorn confess their secret to Twilight, Pinkie Pie proceeds to appear at convenient times to remind her not to reveal it. In the end however, the purple unicorn blurts out Spike's secret to Rarity with the pink pony appearing to express her disappointment.
===A Bird in the Hoof===
Twilight and Spike met up with Fluttershy for their planned brunch with the purple unicorn being growing anxious with the arrival of her mentor. Princess Celestia arrived later though she was a lot more lenient and fun than expected. Their interactions distracted the sun alicorn from her pet bird, Philomena which looked to be in a terrible condition, prompting the yellow pegasus to take it.
Later, Flutterhy was visited by Twilight who was there to thank her though upon seeing the bird, she starts to worry about what to do with it. The two attempt to bring it back to Princess Celestia though upon being escaping some guards, Philomena continues to get sicker, scaring the two ponies from returning it in this condition. They come back in an attempt to try other ways to cure the pet bird though Twilight's abrasive methods scare it into fleeing.
After a montage, Fluttershy eventually finds Philomena at its sickest, perching on a fountain statue before falling and collapsing into a pile of ash in the yellow pegasus' hooves. Princess Celestia arrives to see what was happening with Twilight quickly making excuses for Fluttershy though she decided to come clean.
Luckily, Philomena is a phoenix and has the ability to resurrect at the end of its lifespan, meaning that it had been using this opportunity to perform mischief. Fluttershy received no punishment though she is reminded to simply ask.
===The Cutie Mark Chronicles===
While visiting Rarity’s shop, Twilight encounters the Cutie Mark Crusaders Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo who were here to ask on how she got her cutie mark. This lead to her explaining her backstory. Afterwards, the fillies bid farewell as they boarded a cart and drove away. Unlike the rest of the Mane Six however, this will be important later.
===Owl's Well That Ends Well===
At a particular night during a meteor shower, Twilight and Spike are preparing to join their friends at a picnic. After going to said picnic, the purple unicorn notices the baby dragon already asleep, prompting her to bring him home before writing down her observations on the meteor shower.
While trying to retrieve a scroll, Twilight was approached by an owl who did just that, much to her delight. She decided to keep said owl, naming him Owlowiscious and assigning him to help out with certain tasks. Spike is reasonably upset upon finding out about this and worse still, the owl continued to draw attention of many other ponies.
Twilight later finds Spike plotting ways to get rid of Owlowiscious and proceeds to scold him… which leads to him running away from home. Luckily, the purple unicorn managed to find him and bring him back with her pet’s help. She then explains that Owlowiscious is there to help out at night when the baby dragon needs to sleep. In the end, the two make amends and apologize to each other.
===Party of One===
Twilight was amongst the Mane Six members invited by Pinkie Pie and her pet alligator, Gummy to yet another party which she goes to this time. Later she was invited to another party though she reasons that she’s busy studying. She is seen later secretly talking with Mrs. Cake and taking an unspecified package which she delivers to Rarity.
Later she joins the rest of the Mane Six in their celebration for Pinkie Pie's surprise birthday party which thankfully snapped her out of her insanity.
===The Best Night Ever===
Remember "Ticket Master"? Yes, this is where those tickets come into play. Fluttershy later arrives with a group of mouse in-hand which Twilight turns into, uh, horses, to pull a carriage, despite them all being horses. Anyway, ignoring that strange occurrence, the ponies arrive to the castle safely, ready to enjoy the Grand Galloping Gala.
Unlike most of her friends, Twilight spends the night in relative order, simply talking to Princess Celestia and being blissfully unaware to the chaos the rest of the Mane Six is causing… Until it got worse, prompting the sun alicorn to suggest to her student to flee alongside her friends which she agrees to.
They eventually stop to meet up with Spike who had been waiting outside. Eventually Princess Celestia arrived to meet all of them, explaining that the gala is usually quite bad and she had hoped that the Mane Six would liven things up which failed.
==Season 2==
===The Return of Harmony===
After viewing the chaos Discord had brewed up, Twilight and Spike plan on a counter-spell for all this chaos which fails, forcing her to do fix these issues manually with the help of her friends. Eventually the Mane Six were called in to meet up with Princess Celestia in order to brief them on the situation. The Lord of Chaos has awakened from his slumber and is planning to plunge Equestria into chaos and only the Mane Six can save it.
Discord was currently hanging out at a maze he had conjured, the Elements of Harmony hidden somewhere there, and they need to traverse it without magic or flying. Unbeknownst to them, the Lord of Chaos had planned a clever trap to reverse the ponies' personalities in order to make it difficult for them to utilize their elements via social influencing and if it fails, hypnosis.
Twilight suffers through the brunt of Discord’s influence on her friends, having to suffer from their newly twisted personalities hindering her every move as she tries her best to finish the maze. It is all in vain however as Discord had tricked Rainbow Dash into leaving with her wings, meaning that the Lord of Chaos had won.
Twilight with great difficulty manages to bring her friends to the library where she tries to figure out a way to deal with this issue. Discord decided to use this moment to taunt her by giving her the Elements of Harmony though in the twisted state her friends are in, they are unable to utilize their elements and instead proceed to torment her into leaving.
As Twilight left in the rain, Spike shows up along with the many friendship reports she had been sending all this time, allowing her to regain her resolve and figure out a way to cure her friends, by reminding them of their friendship through the use of a memory spell. She manages to successfully restore all her friends, except for Rainbow Dash who still needs to be caught.
The restored Mane Six attempt to catch a delusional Rainbow Dash who at this point, was napping. Unfortunately, she manages to flee, forcing her friends to give chase and after a series of shenanigans, they manage to subdue the blue pegasus long enough for Twilight to restore her.
The Mane Six return to confront Discord who at this point was basking in his victory. Somehow seeing the ponies with their color and no longer in discordance was not enough to make him realize that his plan had failed, and he still decided to let them get the first hit. This was a mistake, and he was hit by the power of the Elements of Harmony, once again petrifying him.
===Lesson Zero===
During preparations for a picnic, Twilight and Spike pick up an order of cupcakes which is when the latter gets to show off her excessive perfectionism when a cupcake is slightly tilted, prompting her to rearrange the icing on the cupcake to ensure all of them has the same amount of icing. Despite this display, the baby dragon is unconcerned and proceeded to lick some of the removed icing.
Once back at the library, Twilight decided to check up on her checklist which is when she realized that she hasn’t sent a friendship report to Princess Celestia for the week which sends her into a panic, much to Spike’s confusion. In this panic, the purple unicorn rushes outside to find some friendship problems to deal with.
After repeated failure, Twilight joins her friends in their picnic and despite their assurances, she still tries to write a friendship report. Finally in a moment of desperation, she decided to make a friendship problem by casting a spell on a doll which draws affection from any observer. Unleashing said cursed doll upon the public, this results in chaos which Princess Celestia solves upon arriving, much to the purple unicorn’s fear.
Later the two decide to talk in private which is when Princess Celestia explains that she does not need weekly friendship reports. After hearing out the rest of the Mane Six’s explanations, the sun alicorn decided to simply take friendship reports from them whenever they find one.
===Luna Eclipsed===
With Nightmare Night beginning, Twilight and Spike are ready for a night of fun and fear. Unfortunately, nobody remembers the figure the purple unicorn is dressing as despite his importance to the history of Equestria. Later the two greet some trick-o-treaters which included Pinkie Pie who believes that one is never too old for free candy.
She and Spike were later scared off by Rainbow Dash who planned on using the event to prank others, much to Twilight’s disappointment. She and the baby dragon later leave to join in the festivities which get interrupted with the arrival of Princess Luna. Staying in the moon for a few centuries had left her inept to the social norms of the current society, leaving everyone scared of her except the purple unicorn.
After calming Spike down and conversing with Princess Luna, Twilight begins thinking up ways to help the moon alicorn out, starting by bringing her to visit Fluttershy. Unfortunately, the yellow pegasus is frightened by this particular night, refusing to step out or offer candy. This got worse when the purple unicorn revealed Princess Luna, scaring her into shutting the door.
Twilight refused to give up, dragging Fluttershy outside to get her to help Princess Luna, only for her to speak and scare the yellow pegasus back into her home. Finally, the purple unicorn uses her telekinesis to hold Fluttershy in place to coach the moon princess. It was mostly successful, prompting her to hug the yellow pegasus as gratitude, scaring her once again.
Later Twilight invites Princess Luna to play the carnival games which she began to enjoy… up until Pinkie Pie accuses her of cannibalism when she tried to help a foal. After some unsuccessful attempts at trying to go back to playing games, the moon alicorn finally breaks and cancels Nightmare Night before flying away.
In order to change Princess Luna's mind after she cancels Nightmare Night due to a false accusation, Twilight invited the Pinkie Pie to meet her. Unfortunately, Rainbow Dash ends up scaring the pink pony off, causing her to run away and further disheartening the moon alicorn. The purple unicorn quickly gave chase and upon catching up to Pinkie Pie, she is told that the pink pony merely enjoyed getting scared as she considered it to be fun, at least during Nightmare Night.
With this in-mind, Twilight meets up with Princess Luna once again before explaining a plan to her. She later shows up in Ponyville dressed up as Nightmare Moon, scaring off all the ponies who later come back after recovering, revealing that they enjoy it in this particular holiday. Realizing that she was appreciated all along, the moon alicorn reinstates Nightmare Night and gets to bond with the ponies, much to Twilight and Spike’s delight.
===May the Best Pet Win===
Twilight was present along with the rest of the Mane Six and their pets when Rainbow Dash arrived, having awakened from the strange dream she had experienced. The ponies explained that they had arrived to take their pets to play together once a week which strengthened the blue pegasus' resolve to get a pet, much to Fluttershy's delight.
After Rainbow Dash is briefed on her options figured that she'd need some way to measure what pet she'd want. She decided to start up a competition with various categories with the last one involving a race at the Ghastly Gorge. Twilight along with the rest of the Mane Six waited for the blue pegasus to finish, only to realize that she had been injured by a rockslide and was being carried by a tortoise which she later keeps as her pet.
===The Mysterious Mare Do Well===
Twilight was involved in the Mare Do Well scheme the Mane Six had concocted, using her magic to fix the dam. They had been trying to teach Rainbow Dash some humility which was successful as she learns her lesson.
===Sweet and Elite===
With Twilight’s request, Rarity was allowed temporary stay at Canterlot Palace in order to sew a new dress for the purple unicorn during her birthday. She remains unaware of the white unicorn’s meddling with the upper class which was distracting her from finishing the dress and even sending a note to her in order to miss out on Twilight’s birthday.
Twilight was present along with the rest of the Mane Six to surprise Rarity and check on her during her stay at Canterlot. They had planned to move the purple unicorn’s birthday party to the city so that the white unicorn can still attend. Later during the party, the ponies realized that Rarity had been attending another party which prompted them to come over.
Twilight in particular simply dances horribly despite originating from Canterlot, presumably due to inexperience. She also reveals to the guests that Rarity made her dress and that she’s from Ponyville. Still in the end despite everything at stake, the white unicorn still appreciates her friends which allows to learn a lesson from this experience.
===Secret of My Excess===
Twilight spent the day before Spike’s birthday organizing books while he was gazing at a ruby he had been saving up. Rarity later shows up to pick up a book before noticing the baby dragon’s ruby which she admires. Realizing that, he decided to give the white unicorn said ruby, earning him a kiss in the cheek which he plans on never washing.
The next day before the birthday party begins, Twilight had to hold Spike down to wash him despite his protests. The two later join the party which was occurring at the library, the rest of the Mane Six also present. The purple unicorn decided to hide her gift which is a book as she had been giving it to the baby dragon in each of his birthdays.
Twilight remained unaware of Spike’s trip in Ponyville until she checked up on him, finding him a lot larger than before and hoarding a large amount of items. Concerned for his wellbeing, the purple unicorn attempted to gather information on this condition which is when Zecora explains that a dragon’s greed causes them to grow in size. Later Twilight rushed back to Ponyville, trailing the chaos Spike had caused and only being able to witness all of it unfold until he was finally stopped. 
===Hearth's Warming Eve===
During the Hearth's Warming Eve play, Twilight plays the part of Clover the Clever, a subordinate of the unicorn tribe leader.
===Baby Cakes===
After experiencing the difficulties of taking care of babies, Pinkie Pie had to take some time to recover which is when Twilight arrives to offer help. However, she did this as she was unsure of her friend's capabilities, prompting her to push the purple unicorn out. This event allowed Pinkie Pie to regain her resolve and continue doing this task alone.
===The Last Roundup===
On the day Applejack was supposed to come back, she instead sends a letter to her friends who were waiting and ready to throw her a surprise party, explaining that she won't be coming back though this does not deter them. Arriving at the town the orange pony was supposed to perform at, they eventually find her at a Cherry farm, claiming that she's fine and needed a change of scenery.
They were able to get hired by the farm owner, Cherry Jubilee, allowing them time to ask questions which irritated Applejack greatly, causing a disaster at the workplace. The next day Twilight alongside the rest of the Mane Six approach the orange pony during her cherry harvest work after she had been worn down by Pinkie Pie's sad song with a deceptively happy tune obnoxious cherry puns. They were able to convince Applejack to pinkie promise to tell the truth next breakfast.
However, the orange pony disappears that morning. The Mane Six discover her fleeing on a coach, forcing the other ponies to chase her down on a wagon. After some shenanigans which resulted in Rarity and Pinkie Pie getting thrown off, Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash, and were able to apprehend Applejack.
They discover what it had all been about, that Applejack had failed to win any prizes which forced her to get that job in order to send the money to compensate. Her friends quickly cheered her up as despite her failures, they would still rather have her still by their side. Which is ironic because they forgot about Pinkie Pie and Rarity who had been knocked off and are now trying to get back.
===The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000===
After some competition between the Apple Family and the scammers, the former decided to employ the help of the Mane Six. Twilight in particular is in charge of coordinating the efforts of everyone involved and calculating the results that appear. With their combined efforts, they were able to boost productions 5x more than previous which had the added bonus of scaring Flim and Flam into turning off their quality control functions.
In the end, the scammer twins lost their sway on the crowd due to poor quality cider, allowing the Apple Family to continue selling their cider which at this point, was enough for the entirety of Ponyville.
===Read it and Weep===
During Rainbow Dash's stunt practice, Pinkie Pie and Rarity watched on before being joined by Twilight, allowing them to witness the blue pegasus crashing. They later arrived at the hospital alongside Applejack and Fluttershy. The group got to hear about the diagnosis and that Rainbow Dash would probably be alright though she'll need to stay at the hospital for a while which is when the purple unicorn decided to give her a book, "Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone" which she will later enjoy.
Twilight simply chuckled, explaining that Rainbow Dash may come to enjoy it eventually. Sometime later, She and Fluttershy arrive with board games to help Rainbow Dash with her boredom though she decides to purposely lose in order to send them away and continue reading the book. Later down the line she was awakened along with the rest of the Mane Six due to Rainbow Dash's attempt at stealing the book back.
Exiting her home, Twilight finds Rainbow Dash there which is when she finally confesses that she enjoyed reading, something her friends accepted. The purple unicorn in particular decided to give away a copy of the book and explained that one shouldn’t reject something without trying it. 
===It's About Time===
While writing her schedule, Twilight finds herself visited by a future version of her who seemed to be covered with many scars. Said future purple unicorn warns of a great catastrophe next Tuesday before disappearing, much to the present purple unicorn’s panic. She later goes to off to spread her warnings Ponyville with only her friends believing her warnings.
Sometime later, a cerberus arrives to Ponyville, scaring all the denizens and making Twilight believe that this is the disaster she was looking for. Thankfully Fluttershy arrives to calm the creature down as Pinkie Pie and Twilight lure it out of the city. Once done, the purple unicorn returns to the library which is when Spike gives her a scroll. Said scroll gave Twilight a papercut, just like on her future version which meant that the cerberus wasn’t the disaster.
At first, Twilight attempts to stand perfectly still and reasons that nothing bad will happen if she does absolutely nothing. Unfortunately, Rainbow Dash and Spike decided to prank her which leads to her flinging the latter away. This caused Spike to accidentally let out a burst of flames which burns the purple unicorn’s mane, just like her future version.
Spike decided to bring Twilight to visit the Pinkie Pie who was trying out fortune-telling. Unfortunately, her vision revealed nothing useful and her Pinkie Sense only shows near-future events including a flower pot which falls on Twilight's head. The three decided to go to the library where the purple unicorn accidentally blinds herself by pointing a telescope at the sun.
Once she recovered, Twilight received an eyepatch from Pinkie Pie who had prepared for this incident. This also made the purple unicorn further resemble her future self, prompting her to try and find a spell to deal with this. She alongside the pink pony and the baby dragon organize a heist on Star Swirl's Archives while wearing black jumpsuits.
Unfortunately, Twilight's jumpsuit ends up torn, making her look just like her future self. They manage to gain entrance to the archives though fail to find the spell they're looking for in which the so-called future disaster finally arrives... And nothing happens. Realizing that she had simply panicked for no reason, the purple unicorn decides to go back in time and tell her past self that everything is fine, only to time out before she could explain herself.
This of course is the cause of all the events of this episode.
===Dragon Quest===
News of the Great Dragon Migration is spread, prompting the Mane Six to come over to observe, well... Except Fluttershy. Twilight had to witness Rainbow Dash’s failed attempts at convincing the yellow pegasus, ending with her breaking out through a window. The purple unicorn and the blue pegasus join their friends in the hole meant for safe observation. 
During the observation, Spike gives his friends some snacks though Rainbow Dash points out that he is a dragon, causing him insecurities. These continue to progress all the way into the night, preventing him from getting any sleep. Wanting to find any answers about who he is or his origins, he asks Twilight for help though the two fail to get any conclusive answers.
The next day, Spike meets up with Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity for breakfast before explaining his plan to go to the dragon lands for a self-discovery journey. Concerned for his safety, the ponies later follow him to the dragon lands in a disguise, somehow slipping past some dragons who are insulting the baby dragon for being around ponies...
After a variety of challenges, Spike finally succeeds the last one and acquires a phoenix egg which he refuses to smash, earning mockery from the dragons. The ponies finally take off their disguise and manage to get the baby dragon out of the situation. In the end, Spike realizes that he was always loved.
===Hurricane Fluttershy===
Twilight and Spike offered assistance for the pegasi training through the use of their methods and equipment, one of which being able to measure wing power. Later the two arrived to witness the tornado creation though multiple pegasi are not present, making this endeavor a lot harder. In the end however, Fluttershy joined in and the pegasi managed to pull through safely and successfully. 
===Ponyville Confidential===
Twilight was present along with the rest of the Mane Six when Rainbow Dash came in to inform them about the existence of the Foal Free Press, leading to a conversation amongst themselves. The next day they got to see the true horrors of public slander with the purple unicorn in particular being accused of being a Canterlot snob among other gossips.
After the CMC are confronted with the aftermath of their actions, they attempt to apologize for their wrongdoings. During their visit at the library, they find it protected by a forcefield which Twilight set up to keep the fillies out, forcing them to go somewhere else. After their apology stunt, they were able to absolve themselves of the hurt they've inflicted on many and their victims were able to forgive them later.
===MMMYstery on the Friendship Express===
The transport of the giant well-decorated cake Pinkie Pie nicknamed the MMMM (Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness), required the combined efforts of Big Mac for lifting the cake, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash for balancing of the tray, and Twilight for a safeguarding spell. After some tense moments, the cake was safely secured onto the train for transport, as is the other desserts from the other contestants.
The desserts were particularly enticing though Pinkie Pie insists on guarding them, believing that saboteurs are a possibility. While her friends and the other contestants go to sleep, the pink pony stays up to guard the desserts. Her decision was the correct one as she encounters an unidentified creature which she ends up pursuing though she fails to catch them. Returning to the desserts she was guarding; she meets up with Twilight who reveals that the desserts had been eaten.
The next morning, the rest of the Mane Six and the other contestants are gathered up as Pinkie Pie attempts to deduce the suspect. Unfortunately, due to her lack of experience, she proceeds to make up assertions without evidence which Twilight repeatedly points out. Eventually, the purple unicorn steps in and shows several clues on the culprit or in this case, culprits. Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity are the ones responsible for the crime which they apologize for.
With this demonstration, Pinkie Pie applied what she had learned to gather evidence on the other contestants, finding them responsible for eating the desserts of their competitors. Luckily, she also figures out a way to deal with this problem, by combining the remains of the desserts into a giant confection, allowing them all to win the competition.
===A Canterlot Wedding===
Twilight met up with her friends to inform them about the invitation she had received from Princess Celestia, explaining the need for some help on a wedding. The purple unicorn in particular was tasked with overseeing preparations. This is also when the Mane Six learns of the existence of Twilights brother, Shining Armor who is the groom.
Strangely, Twilight is also just as shocked about this though for a different reason. She had grown up being really close to her big brother yet he was not notified of this wedding. After taking a train, the Mane Six arrive at Canterlot, finding security in the place already increased. Despite this, the purple unicorn was overjoyed to meet up with her brother who thankfully has not forgotten about her.
This is also where Twilight gets to meet up with the bride, Princess Cadance who used to be her foalsitter who she has fond memories with. Upon meeting up with her, the purple unicorn did the usual chant they used to say… which the pink alicorn did not understand. Later while overseeing the wedding, Twilight noticed Princess Cadence mistreating her friends on various occasions, causing her to get more suspicious.
At the end of the day, the friends gather together to listen to Twilight's "paranoia" which they do not buy. The purple unicorn leaves in frustration which is when she gets to witness Princess Cadence and Shining Armor having a quarrel, ending with the former casting a spell on the latter. Reasonably, Twilight quickly goes off to warn everyone just as the wedding had started, in front of everyone…
Shining Armor quickly made-up excuses for his bride’s behavior which the crowd buys. He then dismisses Twilight from the wedding, much to her sorrow. Later in the hall, she somehow encounters Princess Cadence who manages to knock her out, unseen by anyone else.
Twilight awakens in a cave which is where she meets the real Princess Cadence as unlike the impostor, she knew of the purple unicorn’s chant. The two managed to break out and arrive at the wedding which is where they expose the impostor for who she is, a changeling, still in front of everyone that is. However, this discovery was much worse as the impostor wasn't merely a changeling but their leader, Queen Chrysalis.
After explaining what she had done as well as her motives, Queen Chrysalis begins her assault, her changeling army already bypassing the castle guards. The whole crowd witnesses Princess Celestia's defeat in the hands of the queen, an feat that will become rather commonplace throughout the series. The sun alicorn begged for the Mane Six to retrieve the Elements of Harmony though they were soon stopped by the changeling army.
In a desperate attempt, Twilight convinces Cadence to try and break the spell on Shining Armor which she manages to do. With the power of love, the two managed to cast a powerful spell that blasts every changeling out of the castle. In the end, the wedding goes off without a hitch and a joyful party ensues.
==Season 3==
===The Crystal Empire===
In the library, Twilight spends the day making large amounts of preparations after receiving a letter from Canterlot, much to Spike’s confusion. The two later meets up the rest of her friends on the train, leading them to The Crystal Empire where they meet Shining Armor once again in the raging blizzard. The group was soon attacked by clouds of black smoke controlled by the evil tyrant, King Sombra. Thankfully they managed to arrive at the city, avoiding the clouds mostly unharmed.
After traversing the city, Twilight got to be briefed by Princess Celestia on the situation before she gets to rejoin the group and meet up with Princess Cadence again, now extremely exhausted from keeping up the barrier which protects the city. After some discussions, the Mane Six decided to look into the occurrence happening in the city and its denizens, the crystal ponies. The crystal ponies Twilight and Spike talked to seemed to lack parts of their memory, as are all the other denizens.
They had all faced similar results with all the ponies they talked to unable to give any valuable information. Visiting the library, Twilight was able to find a book on the history of the Crystal Empire, learning about a faire which served to restore the spirit of love and unity in the empire. After some discussions, the Mane Six are tasked with setting up said faire in hopes of restoring the memories of the crystal ponies.
After some nerve-wracking moments, the Mane Six agree to begin preparations for the faire with Twilight and Spike going off to find the Crystal Heart which is a pivotal part of the faire. The two return to the castle which is where the purple unicorn casts a spell, opening a stairwell downward. Finding a door, the two are exposed to their worst fears with Twilight’s being disappointing Princess Celestia.
Twilight and Spike managed to snap each other out of the spell before going through a door at the bottom of the place, now needing to ascend. Luckily, the purple unicorn still remembered an anti-gravity spell which allowed her to lift herself and the baby dragon up quickly. At the top of the spire, they find the Crystal Heart… and alarms.
Twilight quickly got Spike to safety and after avoiding some threats, he manages to get it to Princess Cadence. With its power and presence, she was able to restore the crystal ponies to their healthier form, allowing them to banish King Sombra once again and restore the city to its pristine form.
===Too Many Pinkie Pies===
Twilight and Spike's spell testing session was interrupted when Pinkie Pie appeared and hugged the former, causing her aim to shift. Later after getting invited to two events at the same time, the pink pony meets up with the purple unicorn for advice. This is where she realized that she would need multiple instances of herself, prompting her to go off and find the legendary Mirror Pool.
While the army of Pinkie Pie clones was wrecking havoc in Ponyville, Twilight was trying to find a solution to this problem. She eventually finds it, a spell that can banish anything it hits... anything. This includes the real Pinkie Pie which is quite the risk as the clones had become difficult to differentiate.
Twilight and Spike managed to find the real Pinkie Pie a café which they managed to confirm. After a discussion, they figure out a plan to find the real pink pony, by getting them to do something really boring for long periods of time. After some teamwork, the Ponyville denizens manage to herd all the clones to one place in which they are subjected to the boring activity of watching paint dry which allows them to weed out any of the clones who quickly get bored.
In the end, only one Pinkie Pie was left, the real one. Despite the many activities she is invited to, she decided to just stay indoors and rest.
===Magic Duel===
After the ominous prologue, the episode cuts to Twilight and Spike spending time at Fluttershy's cottage while practicing a telekinesis spell. Despite her worries, the spell went well with the animals being put back on the ground safely. This is when Rainbow Dash arrives to warn Twilight of the return of Trixie.
Arriving at Ponyville, Twilight finds Trixie wrecking havoc before listening to her misery which led her to acquiring the Alicorn Amulet and challenging the purple unicorn. After a vicious duel, the blue unicorn manages to beat Twilight and banish her from Ponyville until the next duel. One of her spells in particular which was an age manipulating spell made Twilight lose her confidence.
During her banishment, Twilight decided to practice some magic with Zecora arriving to help her out. They were later approached by Fluttershy who arrived to explain the details on how the Alicorn Amulet works. Now aware of this information, figures out a way to beat Trixie and sometime later, returns to Ponyville to challenge her.
Twilight managed to goad her opponent with an amulet of her own, allowing the duel to commence. After some amazing tricks and feats of magic, Trixie was left dumbfounded by the power of this new amulet, prompting her to snatch it and take off the Alicorn Amulet. It was all a ruse however and said amulet was powerless all along, unable to even drag Rainbow Dash down after she managed to snag the Alicorn Amulet from the blue unicorn's hooves.
With Trixie now powerless, Twilight decided to explain how she managed to do all those amazing spells, revealing them to merely be various forms of sleight of hand. With that issue finished, the Ponyville residents can now safely welcome Princess Celestia's arrival with the purple unicorn repeating the spell she did at the beginning of the episode, much to Fluttershy's dismay.
===Wonderbolts Academy===
The Mane Six were gathered up while waiting for Rainbow Dash's acceptance letter to be delivered with Pinkie Pie in particular seemingly a lot more nervous than usual. Eventually, said letter does arrive which the blue pegasus checks, finding herself accepted. After saying goodbyes, she quickly rushed to the academy where she'll be staying for a week.
After 3 days, the group found that Rainbow Dash has yet to send a letter back which begins to worry them. They decide that they can try to directly send a care package to the academy via air balloon. Unfortunately, on arrival, a tornado was running loose in the scene which caused the balloon to be snapped. Rainbow Dash manages to save them with some quick thinking and help from the other cadets.
===Spike at Your Service===
On the weekend, Twilight received a task of making book assignments for 12 books. With that massive task in-hand, she decided to give Spike a day off which is when he gets saved by Applejack and pledges loyalty to her. The baby dragon returns to the purple unicorn who is unfortunately too busy with her task to notice him, prompting him to come back to Sweet Apple Acres.
After a series of disasters and attempts to get Spike to stop what he’s doing, Applejack returns to Twilight to inform her of the events. Now aware of the situation, the purple unicorn comes with a plan to stage a timberwolf attack on the orange pony. As expected, said plan goes awry and actual timberwolves begin attacking which allowed the baby dragon to save Applejack, allowing him to break his pledge.
In the end, Spike returns to Twilight and continues staying with her.
===Keep Calm and Flutter On===
Spike and the Mane Six minus Applejack and Fluttershy are meeting up with Princess Celestia who is planning on releasing and reforming Discord. As expected, everyone there has issues with this idea though the sun alicorn has faith in this plan and knows that the draconequus may be useful as an ally rather than an enemy. Rainbow Dash later leaves to pick up the orange pony and yellow pegasus, the latter having an important part in this endeavor.
After some security measures, the Mane Six use their elements to reverse Discord's petrification, allowing him to break free... and taunt them. He does not seem to appreciate this gesture and intends on wrecking havoc once he figures out a way to free himself. Despite this, he was still brought to Fluttershy's cottage where he ends up crashing in and causing property damage.
While this was happening, Twilight was looking around for her book on reformation spells, unaware that Discord had eaten the pages. She and Spike later visited Fluttershy who explained to them about the draconequus' paper eating habits which is how the purple unicorn realized where her reformation spell page went. The yellow pegasus wasn't too worried and invites the rest of the Mane Six to dinner with Discord.
Despite their suspicions, the Mane Six arrive later that night to find the cottage well-decorated and no longer spinning while Discord was wearing a waiter's outfit. As expected however, chaos ensues and while the other ponies expressed their disdain for the draconequus, Fluttershy insists on not abandoning him which made him pause for a bit. Still, his plan had already gone underway which Angel reported on arrival. One of the beavers Discord had mutated managed to direct water to Sweet Apple Acres, causing a massive flood.
Fluttershy still tries to convince Discord to fix this, resulting in him freezing all the water. Tired of all the abuse, she finally snaps which allows the draconequus to realize his mistake and proceeds to fix the damages he caused. In the end, Discord is visited by Princess Celestia who was quite impressed by the yellow pegasus’ feat with the draconequus claiming that he'll likely use his powers for good most of the time... a statement which he will contradict repeatedly later down the line.
===Just for Sidekicks/Games Ponies Plays===
After Spike decides to run a temporary critter-sitter service to get some gems, he also offered to take care of Owlowiscous for payment despite living with the owl throughout his stay at Ponyville. Some time later, the Mane Six arrive to leave behind their pets with him at Twilight's home. The purple unicorn is unsure of the baby dragon’s capabilities though she yields after some convincing… a big mistake which she will never realize. 
The Mane Six arrive at the Crystal Empire, now pristine and free of evil crystals. They had arrived to deal with the inspector for the Equestria Games who is well-known for being extremely strict and that they need to be at their best in order to impress her so that the Crystal Empire can be the host for the games. Upon arriving, they are greeted by Princess Cadence who invites them to a spa.
Princess Cadence warns that the inspector, a pony named "Ms. Harshwhinny", will arrive at 15 minutes. A pony did come at the station which the Mane Six, minus Rarity who needs to style the pink alicorn's mane, assume to be said inspector. They manage to perform the cheer they had practiced perfectly which impressed the inspector. While her friends were entertaining the inspector, Twilight goes to check on the white unicorn and Princess Cadence, finding the former still very busy fixing her previous mistakes.
Upon returning to her friends, Twilight learns of the horrid truth her friends found out. They had taken the wrong pony, one named Ms. Peachbottom. They quickly rushed to the train station, finding Ms. Harshwhinny no longer there. Conveniently when they visited the spa, Rarity had already finished her job... and the inspector is also there. She began complaining about the lack of a welcome though she changed her mind upon hearing Ms. Peachbottom's experience. With that, the Crystal Empire is nominated for this year's Equestria Games!
===Magical Mystery Cure===
Twilight woke up to a particularly beautiful morning, prompting her to go out and sing to Ponyville while walking around. This routine was stopped by a raincloud going over her… controlled by Rarity. Questioning her for a bit, Twilight finds the white unicorn having Rainbow Dash’s cutie mark.
Some investigation allowed Twilight to discover that this occurrence is present on the rest of her friends. As a result, they are doing each other’s jobs poorly and despite being unhappy, the ponies still continue to do these activities as it is their "destiny". The purple unicorn and her assistant returned to the library to figure out what had happened. Looking back, they realized that this is the result of a cutie mark switching spell Twilight had been practicing and there is currently no reversal spell, leaving her in despair.
Eventually Twilight comes to an epiphany, she can try to remind her friends of what they meant to each other and in the process, remind them of themselves. At first, she tries to invite Fluttershy who was planning on going back to Cloudsdale due to her failure to make anyone laugh. Twilight quickly roped her in to go back to her cottage, finding Rainbow Dash tied up by her animals.
With some encouragement, Fluttershy attempts to interact with the animals, realizing that this was her purpose. Her cutie mark returns to normal from this encounter which encouraged Twilight to repeat this process until all of her friends are back to normal. Once finished, the purple unicorn realized that she can complete the spell that caused the cutie mark switching.
After reciting the spell, Twilight awakens in another world filled with stars and lights. In this plain, she was approached by Princess Celestia who congratulates her for the feat she has performed. The two walk by a hallway where they get to view the purple unicorn’s achievements up until this point. Once done, Twilight was engulfed by a blob of magic before reappearing back in Ponyville… as an alicorn.
Celebration time
==My Little Pony: Equestria Girls==
With that celebration over, the Mane Six and Spike arrive at the Crystal Empire to attend a princess summit. During break time, they try to comfort Twilight who was beginning to get nervous of her new alicorn status. Later that night, an amber unicorn sneaks into her bedroom and steals her crown and despite all attempts to stop her, she manages to escape.
Later that day, Princess Celestia explained the identity of this unicorn, one going by the name of Sunset Shimmer as well as the nature of the realm she had went to. Twilight and Spike were sent on their own to this realm where they are changed to resemble the dominant species there… humans. And Spike is a dog.
Twilight is reasonably upset with the species change, completely different mobility methods, having prehensile forelimbs, and loss of magic. She and Spike proceeded to explore this… school which is when she finds Sunset berating the Fluttershy of this realm. The purple… human quickly told the amber human off, earning her scorn and insults but also the respect of the yellow human.
The two meet up with Celestia who is a principal in this universe. They also find out the reason of Sunset’s scorn, Fluttershy had handed over the crown to the principal who is keeping it as a reward for whoever wins the title of “Princess of Fall Formal”. While it may seem straightforward, the yellow human warns that anyone who attempts to oppose the amber human will usually suffer someway and that the school is split into rigid groups who all need to be convinced in one way or another.
Twilight later meets up with the human counterparts of her friends who have grown to hate each other. While walking by a hallway, she is confronted by Sunset who proceeded to threaten her before leaving, planning on finding something to use against her. The purple human decided to try and research this new realm in the library though her inexperience with her limbs and the technology there leaves her humiliated.
While staying at the library, Twilight and Spike discover that their friends’ human counterparts used to be best friends. The next day, the two awaken to the horror that is an embarrassing video of them posted on social media. They also get to meet up with the rest of the… Humane Six.
Being in the same room for a period of time was pretty bad for them and they shortly get into a fight which Twilight broke up, citing that they used to be friends. They claim that they had something ruined by the others through text messages and social media though none of them claim to be responsible, making them realize that they may have been had.
The group later met up with Rainbow Dash to help Applejack reconcile with her. Once done, the blue human offers to help Twilight under the condition that she plays a game of soccer which she loses. Thankfully, Rainbow Dash doesn’t care and decides to help her anyway, already seeing the qualities she needed from the purple human.
In the cafeteria, Twilight bumps into a generic teenage love interest under the name of Flash Sentry who used to be Sunset’s ex-boyfriend. Ignoring that uninteresting plot point, the girls figure out a way to boost the purple human’s popularity. They decided to make a song-and-dance event at the cafeteria which worked out pretty well…
The next day, everything goes wrong as Sunset framed Twilight for vandalizing the Fall Formal supplies. Before the purple human could be disqualified, Flash appears to explain how the evidence was forged, allowing Twilight to walk free though she soon realized that the event will be delayed which may cause the portal back to Equestria to be sealed.
Twilight and Spike soon meet up with their friends before explaining the gravity of the situation which they take pretty well. The group go off to clean up the place which allowed Principal Celestia to continue the Fall Formal Event as usual. Once done, they go off to prepare for the party and return on a limousine. The purple human also got to meet up with Flash again who offers a dance which she accepts with excitement.
During the event, Sunset was not present, allowing Twilight to win the title of “Princess of Fall Formal” and the crown. Unfortunately, Spike gets kidnapped and brought near the portal which is where the amber human was standing by… with a sledgehammer. The purple human attempted to reason with her which ends with her getting tackled and losing the crown.
Upon wearing the crown, Sunset transformed into a horrifying demonic entity hellbent in ruling over the whole school. She also explains her plan, that being to go to Equestria and take it over with these new powers. Twilight still stood her ground despite all this, her friends standing with her. Their friendship protected them from the amber human’s attacks while also granting them the magic of friendship.
With this new power, they blasted Sunset with a magic beam which transforms her back to normal. Despite all she had done, Twilight still chooses to forgive her, and her friends follow suit in taking the amber human in. With that issue finally finished, the school can finally continue with Fall Formal with the purple human also getting her dance.
In the end, Twilight and Spike had to return though not before embracing the friends they’ve made in this new world. Stepping through the portal, they are greeted by the Equestria they’re familiar with… and their old physical forms. They also came back with the crown, earning the cheers of their friends.
While walking away, Twilight bumps into Equestria’s Flash Sentry… who we will never see again. 
==Season 4==
===Princess Twilight Sparkle===
With all the free time that they have, the Mane Six cheer for Twilight as she learns how to fly with her new wings, Rainbow Dash being the one to help her out. Despite this she ends up crashing repeatedly until finally, she decides to just go indoors to view the stain glass window Princess Celestia had commissioned to commemorate the purple alicorn's ascension.
While observing the glass pane, Twilight laments that her friends won't be there for the Summer Sun Celebration as they had been called in by the mayor to help out with Ponyville's own celebration. Applejack steps in to remind her that they'll always be united by the Elements of Harmony, said statement giving her comfort for the time being. With that, the rest of the Mane Six leave Twilight and Spike behind at Canterlot in order to board a train back to Ponyville.
Returning to Canterlot, Twilight meets up with Princess Celestia for a chat before leaving, unaware that it will be the last time she will converse with her mentor for the time-being. Spike greets the purple alicorn on her way out and later, the two realize that Princess Celestia and Luna have disappeared suddenly and worse, the Everfree Forest has invaded Ponyville.
Twilight and Spike rush to Ponyville through the use of the former’s wings, finding their friends still alive. After some explanations, the Mane Six receive their elements before summoning Discord to make sure that he wasn't responsible for this. The draconequus claims that he is innocent in this with only Fluttershy believing his statements. Just then, Zecora arrives from Everfree Forest after needing to evacuate though she had managed to save a few artifacts, one of which is a potion with dubious effects which Twilight drinks.
Said drink allowed her to glance into the past, seeing visions of Nightmare Moon’s rise at the moment it happened.
Following the fight between Princess Celestia and Nightmare Moon, it took a while for Twilight to realize that this is merely a vision. She also got to witness the sun alicorn use the Elements of Harmony to banish her opponent. That marks the end of the vision though the purple alicorn is still confused with what she needs to do, prompting her to drink the potion again.
This time, Twilight witnessed Princess Celestia and Luna fight off Discord through the use of the Elements of Harmony which led to him getting petrified. The purple alicorn also got to see how the alicorn sisters got the elements, from the Tree of Harmony which was also used to keep the Everfree Forest at bay. With that in-mind, Twilight leads her friends into the forest to check.
However, the forest always has a surprise ready for them and in this case, it comes in the form of a giant crocodile with rock-like skin. Twilight's friends managed to save her before deciding that at this point, they can't risk losing another princess and so they agree to send her back despite her protests. Upon coming back to Ponyville, Discord points out how messed up what she’s doing is, prompting her and Spike to immediately go back into the forest.
While looking for the rest of the Mane Six, Spike notices that Twilight was being attacked by a number of plants. He quickly rushed to call the other ponies who come back to save the purple alicorn. Twilight figured out during her visions that the Tree of Harmony requires the elements and with some convincing, the Mane Six agrees to give their elements away despite the risks, their friendship being the thing that keeps them together.
This decision proved to be the right one as the vines retracted from the magic, followed by Celestia and Luna returning. A small chest with 6 locks appeared in the middle, its use currently unknown. The group returned to find Discord still there. As he ponders on the possible actions he can commit now that the elements are gone, Fluttershy quickly snaps him out of it.
After hearing about how this problem all began, that being Discord planting plunderseeds at the Tree of Harmony, he reasons that he had thought the Mane Six an important lesson and thankfully, gets away with it. They all later arrive at the Summer Sun celebration where Twilight finally gets to use her wings properly, earning the cheers of the crowd.
===Castle Mane-ia===
Failing to find any useful information on the Tree of Harmony’s chest from any library books, Twilight and Spike travel to the old castle. They manage to find the castle’s very own library, earning the purple alicorn’s excitement due to her love of books and information. During their time there, they are also joined by Angel who managed to escape a trap holding Fluttershy and Rarity captive.
Among the information they find, there was some detailing about the various traps in the castle, ones the rest of the Mane Six are suffering from. As the screams of the ponies who had entered the place continue to echo, Twilight eventually snaps out of her studying to check out what's happening. There she finds her friends minus Pinkie Pie all huddled up together in fear. Checking the pony who had playing the organ which triggers the traps, she finds it to be the pink pony herself.
In the end, Twilight suggests that the ponies make a collective journal in order to compile their friendship lessons before leading them out of the castle. Unbeknownst to them, a dark figure with yellow eyes observes them from the shadows. This will be important later
===Daring Don't===
After recovering from a recent accident, Rainbow Dash arrived at the library to find her friends enjoying a random holiday party which gives Twilight the opportunity to explain about the current conditions of the Daring Do publishing status, another 2 month delay. After some discussion, the blue pegasus decides that she wants to try and find the author and help her.
The Mane Six later find themselves in a desolate part of the woods where they encounter a lone cottage, supposedly where this author, A. K. Yearling lives in. While observing said cottage, they are startled by the author herself who was questioning the state of her home which is a mess. After some searching and discussions, Pinkie Pie points out the intruders in the cottage, prompting A. K. Yearling to throw away her disguise, revealing herself to be Daring Do.
As the adventurer tries to deal with the intruders who are currently being led by her rival, Dr. Caballeron, the Mane Six tries to process what is happening though in the end, Daring Do ends up getting beaten up though she refuses help. Rainbow Dash and Twilight conclude that the evil doctor is planning on using a ring in the adventurer's cottage to perform a dark ritual.
They continue to follow Daring Do despite her repeated refusal until they find Dr. Caballeron again, prompting the adventurer to get a disguise and try to buy the ring. Unfortunately, during the deal, they are attacked by Ahuizotl and his minions, prompting the evil doctor to flee. Unfortunately, Daring Do ends up losing the ring when Rainbow Dash interferes, resulting in her getting sent away though her friends quickly convinced her not to do so.
While Daring Do and Rainbow Dash are trying to enter the fortress, the rest of the Mane Six intercept Ahuizotl and distract him long enough for the two adventurers to stop the dark ritual. In the end, Rainbow Dash manages to get Daring Do's respect and later a pre-order of the book.
===Power Ponies===
On the day before an exploration of the old castle, Spike has decided to stay up late and read comic books, much to Twilight’s dismay. While the Mane Six are revisiting the old castle, the baby dragon's comic book triggers a spell which sucks them all into the superhero comic. As a bonus, they also get casted as the superheroes of this story with Twilight being casted as Masked Matter-Horn, a parody of generic superheroes with laser powers. After their failed encounter with the supervillain, Mane-iac, Spike explains to his friends about how their powers work.
They later approach the lair of the supervillain where an ambush resulted in them getting apprehended, except Spike who was left behind. Dragged inside the lair, they got to see the supervillain's evil plan which fittingly is hair-themed. After an evil monologue, Spike successfully takes down the minions, allowing the Mane Six to break free.
Mane-iac's attempt at trying to operate her weapon forced her to swat away a firefly, finally triggering Fluttershy's rage which allows her to grow in size. The beam ends up bouncing off her before getting smashed, all while the supervillain falls victim to her own weapon. In the end, the group managed to finish the story and exit the world.
===Bats!===
Twilight arrives alongside the rest of the Mane Six due to Applejack's fruit bat problem. This was an even bigger issue due to her currently trying to raise a giant apple for a competition. Despite Fluttershy's attempts to convince everyone of the bats' harmlessness, they still go along with the orange pony's attempts at getting rid of them.
After a meeting, Twilight formulates a plan to deal with the bats though they need Fluttershy's help. The fruit bats were gathered up to a single tree where the yellow pegasus stares them to submission, allowing the purple alicorn to safely cast her spell. Said spell removed the fruit-eating desires from the bats, making for a successful attempt at stopping their destruction. However, while leaving, Fluttershy starts to suspiciously stare at an apple.
On the next day, the apples are still rotten, prompting Applejack to call her friends back. Finding a bat, they find Twilight's spell to still be functional. With no other option, they decide to perform a stake-out, gathering back at the orchard at night. Somehow they fail to notice Fluttershy's odd craving for the nearby apples until they split up.
Eventually Applejack finds what is possibly the culprit hiding in the darkness before calling in the rest of her friends. Shining a light on the figure, they find it to be no one other than Fluttershy who has morbed become a vampire batpony. As the group attempts to interact with their transformed friend, Twilight realized what had happened, her spell had redirected the fruit-eating desires from the bats to the yellow pegasus.
A few attempts were made to apprehend the transformed Fluttershy, all of which failed until Pinkie Pie points out about her stare, giving her friends an idea. Using Applejack's giant apple, they lure the vampire batpony into a mirror, causing her to use the stare on herself and get knocked out. This allowed Twilight to reverse her spell on Fluttershy, turning her back to normal.
In the end, Applejack agrees to Fluttershy's idea and sections off a specific part of the orchard for the fruit bats. As the Mane Six celebrate their friend's return, they are unaware that she still had some traits of this incident.
===Rarity Takes Manehattan===
At the train station, the Mane Six and Spike are ready to join Rarity at her business trip to Manehattan with her offering a few tickets to watch a play for her friends as gratitude for accompanying her. On their way, the white unicorn helps out many of the city denizens though eventually, it starts to rain. Luckily, her generosity pays off as a cab driver decides to repay the favor by giving the group a lift though unfortunately, Rarity ends up leaving behind her dresses.
As she despairs, her generosity pays off again when the hotel bellhop decides to repay the favor by bringing her suitcases containing the dresses to her. With that, she was able to arrive just in time for the fashion show where she ends up meeting an old acquaintance, Suri Polomare. She asks for help from the white unicorn who agrees to do so, even giving a piece of fabric for her.
This backfires when the rival ends up stealing Rarity's design, causing her great despair. The Mane Six and Spike greet her back at the hotel where she confesses about her mistake. Needing a way to be a step ahead of her rival, she decides to use the hotel room as inspiration before asking for help from her friends. This ended up taking a very long time, exhausting them from all the work though they did manage to pull it off, without getting even a thank you from the stressed Rarity.
After Rarity realized her mistake at the fashion show, she quickly tried to find her friends who had already left the hotel. Her panic was misjudged as they simply overslept and were just getting ready to watch the play though they also brought news of the white unicorn's loss. She wasn't particularly messed up by this and instead offers to accompany her friends with watching the play.
They had a great time at the play but as they were about to leave, they're approached by Suri Polomare's assistant, Coco Pommel. She ended up giving the trophy meant for Rarity, explaining that her boss had lied about winning to get the white unicorn to leave. As gratitude, she hires the assistant for another job before going home with a few gifts.
Amongst the gives she got was a glowing rainbow colored spool of thread... This will be important later.
===Rainbow Falls===
Twilight went alongside Ponyville’s team and later joins the rest of them to the Equestria Games tryouts at the titular Rainbow Falls. On arrival, they got to witness the Wonderbolts do their relay, performing much more competently than the two Ponyville athletes. In an attempt to cheer them up, Rainbow Dash decided to take them to watch one of said Wonderbolts named Soarin in his solo practice flight, only to witness a horrid accident that sends him into the medical ward while also opening a spot for the team.
Later Spitfire approaches Rainbow Dash and explains that there is now a spot for the team. She was intrigued by this at first and later tries practicing with the Wonderbolts which prompted Twilight to confront her on this. The purple alicorn clearly explains the stakes in this situation, leaving her friend doubtful of her choices. Faced with a tough choice, Rainbow Dash decided to feign injury in order to not have to make that choice.
In the medical ward, Twilight also confronted her friend from refraining to even choose. After a revelation, Rainbow Dash quickly steps out and finally decides to stick to her team to the very end. During their turn in the tryouts, they manage to still pull it off and in the end, qualify for the Friendship games. The team are awarded medals for qualifying while Rainbow Dash herself receives a Wonderbolt pin from Spitfire which later in the episode, starts glowing with a rainbow tint... This will be important later.
===Three's a Crowd===
Spike arrives to the library with that day’s mail which Twilight happily reads, finding that Princess Cadence had agreed to visit which excited her greatly. Fluttershy also arrived shortly after to explain that she had received permission to observe small sapient creatures named Breezies during their travels. The rest of the Mane Six bid their farewells to the yellow pegasus at the train station… which is when Discord arrives.
At this point in time, Discord appeared to have a blue coloration and explains that he had caught the blue flu. Despite being sick, he was able to go all the way to the museum to mess with Twilight and Princess Cadence, the latter trapping him in a bubble to ensure he doesn’t pass the infection. In an attempt to care for him, they bring him to the library where the purple alicorn attempted to look for a cure.
Discord explains the details of a flower which can cure the blue flu and after some adjustments, the two alicorns are led to a tall hill with said flower. Unfortunately, said flower was guarded by a giant worm that needed to be blasted away. Worse still after bringing said flower to the draconequus, they find him to be completely healthy.
Despite this trick, Princess Cadence explained that she enjoyed this experience, much to Twilight’s delight. The giant worm from before suddenly appeared though instead of attacking, it just sneezed at Discord, this time getting him actually sick. Fluttershy still visits him despite the horrors he had brought upon to everyone.
===Pinkie Pride===
After the foiled goof-off and revelation, Pinkie Pie realized that she had made a mistake and forfeits, planning on leaving after her failure. The rest of the Mane Six arrive to comfort her as despite how great Cheese Sandwich is at his job, the pink pony is a permanent resident that's here to stay. After listening the the gamboge pony's backstory, Pinkie Pie finally regains her confidence and agrees to continue her party planning endeavors.
In the end, their efforts were well-placed and they managed to throw a successful party for Rainbow Dash. With the job done, Cheese Sandwich rides back into the sunset though not before giving Pinkie Pie one of his rubber chickens named "Boneless" which starts to glow with a rainbow colored tint... This will be important later.
===Filli Vanilli===
The rest of the Mane Six arrive just in time to listen to Fluttershy sing to her animals, earning her panic. Rarity ends up inviting her to be a member of the "Pony Tones" who are currently here for a fundraiser for a nearby pet center. Despite being a huge fan of the group, Fluttershy couldn't bring herself to join, suffering from severe stage fright. Still, they take her to see the setup for the show where they get to see Big Mac arrive with a loss of voice due to a turkey call competition.
Wanting to help, Fluttershy decides to use a concoction from Zecora, allowing her to regain the masculine voice she got during her poison joke affliction. She later assists the Pony Tones in their performances to fill in for Big Mac until the last one when his voice has recovered. Unfortunately during the performance, the yellow pegasus knocks over the curtains, exposing her performance to the crowd. Despite the positive reaction, her stage fright gets the best of her and scares her out of the place.
While recovering in her cottage, she was surprised by Pinkie Pie who proceeds to poke her with various statements which scares her out once again. Despite the compliments she gets, she still vows to never perform in public again. However, Rarity points out that she was the one who suggested on going to all those performances and she genuinely enjoyed performing. In the end, Fluttershy agrees to join the Pony Tones though in the condition that she doesn't go on larger crowds.
===Twilight Time===
Some time later, the Cutie Mark Crusaders bring in Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon to Twilight who is reasonably disturbed with the extra attention she’s getting and advices the fillies to not let this get out. As expected, this information is spread through the Cutie Mark Crusaders’ school. In an attempt to capitalize on their new fame, Sweetie Belle suggests inviting the purple alicorn to lunch for the other students to creepily watch over.
Unaware of the ruse, Twilight takes the invitation and enjoys her meal with the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Eventually she noticed that she’s being watched and quickly exits the restaurant to find herself swarmed by fillies, prompting her to fly away. The Cutie Mark Crusaders continue to abuse their fame until it backfires and the flee to the library, only to be stopped by the other fillies.
Twilight eventually answers the door and invites them all in, pleased that so many are willing to learn from her. Unfortunately, they are only doing this to gain popularity, prompting the purple alicorn to confront the Cutie Mark Crusaders on this, finding that they have not learned anything from their time with her. The purple alicorn sends them all out though the Cutie Mark Crusaders stay behind to apologize which Twilight takes.
In the end, the three fillies continue to spend some time practicing with Twilight though this time they take care at keeping it a secret.
===It Ain't Easy Being Breezy===
The rest of the Mane Six arrive to listen to Fluttershy's explanation on what to do to ensure a safe arrival of the breezies. Besides a good breeze which Rainbow Dash will be providing, they also need to be cheered on... quietly. Said breezies eventually arrive to town with Twilight explaining to the denizens of Ponyville the details regarding these creatures. After an incident, the yellow pegasus decided to take care of some injured breezies for a while.
Unfortunately, she ends up getting attached to them though after an engagement with their leader, Fluttershy realizes she had a mistake and quickly sends the breezies away. Due to a lack of numbers, the breeze isn't gentle enough to carry these breezies, forcing Twilight to turn herself and her friends into breezies in order to lead the other breezies back home.
This plan was a success and they all manage to arrive back at their home to meet with their friends and family. After being turned back to ponies, Fluttershy noticed the flower Seabreeze gave to her for gratitude, finding it glowing with a rainbow colored tint... This will be important later.
===Maud Pie===
The Mane Six arrive at Pinkie Pie's place to find piles of rock candy littered all around in order to celebrate the arrival of her dear sister, Maud Pie. After some testing on the many sweets the pink pony has made, she finally explains their purpose, to make rock candy necklaces. Eventually the train arrives, prompting them to quickly rush there and greet the dull pony.
A lakeside picnic was set up with Maud eventually showing up, alongside her "colorful" personality. After a "riveting" game of camouflage, the rest of the Mane Six take a break while Fluttershy takes the pets back to their homes. Later once she's back, they discuss the possibility that the dull pony's behavior may be due to shyness. Twilight ends up inviting Maud to the library where the dull pony shows her love for poetry by writing and reciting one of rocks, the purple alicorn barely escaping with her sanity intact.
Pinkie Pie finally finishes the rock candy necklaces, only to be told by her friends that they aren't very fond of her sister, causing her great sadness. In one last attempt, she ends up making an elaborate obstacle course in hopes that it can help them all bond though she ends up almost crushed by one of said obstacles. Luckily Maud managed to step in and save her from the danger, earning the respect of the ponies.
Eventually they were able to reconcile with Maud and wade goodbye for her, until she comes back eventually.
===Testing Testing 1, 2, 3===
While reading a book, Twilight finds herself annoyed by Rainbow Dash flying about. She eventually confronts her and reminds her about her upcoming test. After some convincing, the purple alicorn teleports the two to the library where she plans on tutoring her friend. Unfortunately, her teaching methods were inefficient on Rainbow Dash, causing her to fail the quizzing session.
This was the point when Rainbow Dash got worried with her test, prompting Twilight to ask her friends for help on this issue. They too failed at teaching the blue pegasus who had finally lost all hope and decided to fly away. The purple alicorn later checks up on her which is when she figures out Rainbow Dash's learning method, multi-tasking.
Later Twilight invites Rainbow Dash for a flying session where they converse for a bit. On their way back, the purple alicorn questions her friend about what she learnt which is when she realized that she had successfully memorized everything she needs. As it turns out during the flying session, the ponies below had been showing the required information which she subconsciously memorized during her flight. In the end, Rainbow Dash succeeds in her exam.
===Trade Ya!===
The Mane Six arrive at Rainbow Falls in order to participate in the Traders Exchange event, a day in which bartering is legalized. Twilight in particular is planning on trading away a few of her spare books with Pinkie Pie tagging alongside her. Unfortunately, she ends up being greeted with a celebration due to being a princess.
Pinkie Pie managed to stop Twilight from trading away all her books at once and instead offers to help out with the trading process in order to get more worthwhile items. Due to the purple alicorn's role as a princess, the pink pony was able to get a solid crowd interested in items related to a princess. Twilight was discomforted by this though she slips up and brings in more ponies to the place.
Eventually however during Pinkie Pie's attempts to hype up the books, she explains how much the books meant to Twilight's journey to becoming who she is in the present. Realizing how valuable the books are, the ponies disperse and the purple alicorn decides to keep the books.
Later, Twilight finds herself approached by Rainbow Dash who has regretted selling off Fluttershy for the book she wanted. The purple alicorn started up an exchange trial before listening in on both sides, the two finally settling for a cancellation of the trade. Though due to this, the blue pegasus never got to keep the book she wanted. Hearing this, Twilight gave away her copy of the Daring Do book which Rainbow Dash happily accepts.
===Inspiration Manifestation===
After witnessing all the chaos Rarity stirs while under the effects of Inspiration Manifestation, Twilight finds Spike in an overcomplicated crystal suit the white unicorn made for him. She decided to just continue with the reparation efforts which were ongoing. Once Rarity was free of the evil spell, the purple alicorn got to fully dispel all her creations, causing her great exhaustion.
===Equestria Games===
Once Spike was done unloading equipment, he is brought by guards and dropped off at Twilight and Princess Cadence’s place, the latter explaining the baby dragon’s new heroic status which grants him the privilege to light the torch at the opening ceremony. The two alicorns later join the rest of the princesses at their specialized seats in the crowd.
Due to anxiety, Spike was unable to light the torch immediately, prompting Twilight to quickly cover up for him through the use of a fire spell. She later meets up with the baby dragon to explain what she had done, leaving him saddened. The purple alicorn later finds him in a disguise, having lost his confidence. At this moment, an ice arrow freezes a cloud over the stadium, putting everyone in danger.
With this dire situation, Spike was able to regain his confidence to step in and melt down all the ice with his fire, saving everyone in the stadium and earning him the respect of the crowd.
===Twilight's Kingdom===
After a dull political event, Twilight was beginning to have feelings of inadequacy due to how seemingly unimportant her actions are as the Princess of Friendship. In an attempt to cheer her up, the rest of the princesses sing a song of encouragement which… works. Some time later, Princess Celestia received a horrifying vision which she brings up to the rest of the princesses.
Tirek has returned.
After explaining the evil centaur’s backstory, Princess Celestia explained that she had brought Discord to deal with this issue, much to Twilight’s dismay. The Mane Six later gather up in order to greet the draconequus after he had been elected to try and stop the evil centaur. His comments prompted Twilight to go back to the old castle in order to see what to do about the chest on the Tree of Harmony while he himself goes off to try and find Tirek.
In the castle, Twilight finally took notice of those rainbow tinted objects the rest of the Mane Six received throughout the season. During this time, Discord has managed to encounter Tirek and seemed to be winning. Unfortunately, he was quite good at manipulation and even though Discord’s friendship with Fluttershy is on the line, he still chooses to ally himself with the evil centaur.
The Mane Six later arrive, bringing the artefacts they received in each of their episodes. Said artefacts all form into keys which perfectly fit the locks on the chest in the Tree of Harmony. Unfortunately, they are missing Twilight's key which is conveniently when she gets called in to Canterlot where the rest of the princesses explain the situation. Tirek has received a boost in power and is coming to Canterlot to acquire the magic of the alicorns.
With that explanation done, the princesses came up with a plan to safeguard their magic, by giving it to Twilight and sending her away. Despite her uncertainty, they were growing desperate and with that, the purple alicorn accepted this daunting task. This surplus of magic was difficult to control though she eventually made it back to Ponyville to meet up with Spike.
Keeping her powers a secret, Twilight tells her friends to evacuate Ponyville though during these efforts, she was separated from them and as a result, evaded Discord’s return and imprisonment of the rest of the Mane Six. She was also unaware of Tirek’s betrayal on the draconequus.
Tirek eventually arrives at where Twilight was hiding, blasting magic at her as she tried to flee which ended up destroying the library in the process. This was the moment that finally got the purple alicorn to start fighting back, the magic she received enough to match all the magic her opponent had absorbed up to this moment.
Once he realized this, Tirek was forced to use Twilight’s friends as a bargaining chip for the magic which she agrees to. Discord ends up giving her the medallion he got as a sign of friendship with said medallion now glowing with a rainbow tint... This is the last key.
The Mane Six managed to avoid Tirek's attacks long enough to reach the Tree of Harmony and unlock the chest, releasing a rainbow colored blast which grants them great power, strong enough to obliterate the evil centaur and send him back to his previous prison. With that issue finished, they continued to repair the damage that has been done before finally, a giant crystal castle rises from the ground to replace Twilight's destroyed library.
As the powers wear off, Twilight is told by the princesses that said castle belongs to her while she herself learns the role of the Princess of Friendship, to spread the magic of friendship across Equestria. Despite this, she still credits her friends for playing an important role for her and they find 7 thrones inside said castle. A celebration was held for the ponies and a new and exciting era begins...
==My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks==
After a harrowing encounter with the Dazzlings, Sunset decided to contact Twilight through a book to the portal currently being closed. This worked out as during a reading session at the castle, the purple alicorn received a book which can transfer anything written from Sunset’s book to it. Seeing the threat, Twilight deduced the Dazzlings to be Sirens and recalled their backstory.
With some discussion with her friends, Twilight figures out a way to manually open the portal. Just like before, she and Spike had to go alone though this time aware what’s on the other side, getting turned into another species was a lot less harrowing. Their human friends are of course ecstatic of the purple human’s return and quickly accepted her to a group hug.
The group decided to catch-up and after learning everything she needed, Twilight figured out a plan to get an upper hand on the Dazzlings. Later they confronted the evil singers though oddly enough, their friendship magic seems to be non-functional for the moment, leading to their humiliation.
Regrouping after that incident, the Humane… Seven discuss their options, coming to a conclusion that they may need to make a counterspell in the form of a song. Twilight was also elevated to the role of lead singer. Unfortunately due to her homeless status in this universe, Pinkie Pie decided to invite the group to a slumber party.
Writing a counterspell with all the pressure that came with it was a stressful activity and while her friends got to have fun and a restful sleep, Twilight was unable to join in and instead stayed up late to continue writing. Sunset was also growing restless and the two bond over similar issues until they get startled by the horror that is Maud’s human counterpart.
To practice their new performance, the Humane Seven gathered up at Applejack’s house which is where they find out a variety of issues. Among them is Twilight’s poor singing despite all the songs she sang throughout the series so far. After some argumentation between friends, the group decided to stall for time while the purple human perfects the counterspell.
Later during the event, the Dazzlings and the Rainbooms managed to climb up the ranks though the former’s influence is beginning to spread with the bands beginning to squabble between themselves and even Flash Sentry snapped at Twilight for being a competitor, much to her dismay. This all worsened to the point of Sunset tackling Rainbow Dash due to her almost activating her pony-up form, earning the scorn from the audience.
The Rainboom’s last competitor, the Illusions decided to trap their opponents in a trapdoor, forcing Spike to run off and get help. Being trapped in a hole is a distressing situation and with that, the friends began to argue which is when Sunset finally realized what was happening, the Dazzlings feed on negative emotions. She quickly snapped her friends out of it, conveniently before they get pulled out of the hole.
In the last event, the Rainbooms were able to arrive on time and begin their song while the Dazzling are continuing with theirs. Unfortunately, their opponents were able to increase their power faster and as the Humane Six began to fall to exhaustion, Sunset under the request of Twilight decided to continue her friends’ efforts.
It was the right choice and soon her friends were able to recover and join in, their magic shattering the Dazzlings’ gem pendants, taking away their ability to even speak. With that, they are forced to flee in humiliation and the Rainbooms won the event. With Twilight going home, Sunset was allowed to join the rest of the Humane Seven’s band.
In the end, Twilight promised to return occasionally and due to having access to the two-way book, she agreed to keep contact with Sunset. Little did they knew… Twilight had a human counterpart all along. 
==Season 5==
===The Cutie Map===
Checking on the functions of this new castle, the Mane Six find that the desk in the middle of the main room is showing a map. It also has the capability of calling in certain members of the Mane Six via their cutie map and for this occasion, they are called in to a desolate town known as "Our Town". With Spike left behind to guard the place, the ponies venture off to this new adventure.
Arriving at the village, they find the denizens to be slightly discolored and always smiling which Pinkie Pie quickly notices, their houses arranged into a pair of parallel rows. Most disturbingly, their cutie marks are all the same, a black "=" mark. After meeting some of the disturbing villagers, they are lead to meet the cult/village leader herself, Starlight Glimmer.
After some explanations of the values she believes in, the Mane Six were rather disturbed with Twilight in particular wondering how cutie marks could possibly be removed. The group later requested some time to consider their decision in joining Starlight's cult. During their discussions which turns to arguing, they are approached by the cultists who are intrigued by the cutie marks and friendship of the ponies, prompting them to invite the Mane Six to a secret meeting.
They were soon informed of where the cutie marks are stolen using a magic staff and stored in a vault. Visiting said vault, Twilight believes that they had been called to the place in order to return the cutie marks to the cultists. Unfortunately, Starlight gets to them first and proceeds to take away their cutie marks and replacing them with the black "=" marks before dropping them off at a re-education house.
While stuck in said re-education house, the ponies to contend with both propaganda and having to deal with a lack of their former talents. Twilight in particular is still trying to figure out how Starlight did what she did. The Mane Six decide to send Fluttershy out in order to try and learn more about the situation. This proved to be a worthwhile endeavor as she learns something pivotal...
Starlight Glimmer had a cutie mark all along.
The next day when Starlight goes off to check on the rest of the Mane Six with Party Favor, the pony that got put in the re-education house, exiting while claiming remorse. Fluttershy quickly douses the heliotrope unicorn in water, revealing her true cutie mark. 
The cultists soon realized that their leader is a hypocrite all along and quickly turn on her. While they're rushing to retrieve their cutie marks, the Mane Six approached Starlight's house to find that she had ran off with their cutie marks. With the help of the villagers and their special talents, the Mane Six finally catch up with Starlight and succeed in regaining their cutie marks.
Twilight in particular engages in a spell fight against an enraged Starlight until she was forced to flee. In the end, the now no longer cultists celebrate their freedom from the cult. The Mane Six's cutie marks gave one last glow which they realize to be a sign that their mission is finished.
===Castle Sweet Castle===
Twilight spent her day cleaning Fluttershy's muddy animals though upon finishing this task, she “accidentally” knocks Angel into mud in order to get more chores. The yellow pegasus eventually gets tired and gets ready to sleep. The purple alicorn didn’t mind this and instead goes off to help Pinkie Pie with her pancakes.
The next day, the Mane Six arrive at Twilight's new castle, finding her a disheveled mess. They decide to listen to her reasoning as well as everyone else's experience with Twilight's behavior. As it turns out, she had been uncomfortable in her castle, prompting her friends to offer a makeover to the house while she gets a relaxing day in the spa.
Throughout the day, Spike did everything in his might to keep Twilight distracted like setting up a massage, taking a scenic route past the remains of the library they lived at, and shopping for supplies. This was for a good reason as the rest of the Mane Six were doing a very poor job at decorating the castle. Eventually, the purple alicorn loses her patience and finally goes back to the castle.
Once Twilight returned, her friends showed the biggest feature they worked on, a chandelier depicting many important memories of the purple alicorn's life. Twilight was moved by this and was extremely grateful of her friends' efforts. Of course, some of the rooms did get a few modifications from the ponies, much to everyone's amusement.
===Tanks for the Memories===
Noticing that Tank was having trouble staying awake near winter, Rainbow Dash first rushed to Twilight for advice. Unfortunately, she found nothing of use, forcing the blue pegasus to visit Fluttershy for better information where she was told that the tortoise is about to hibernate for winter. Eventually after some desperation, she comes up with a devious plan to cancel winter.
Unfortunately, said plan ends in disaster, causing a massive snowstorm which brought winter to Ponyville anyway. The Mane Six visit the saddened Rainbow Dash with Fluttershy quickly explaining that Tank will likely not be awake for the winter. Eventually after a lot of crying, the blue pegasus accepts this reality and allows her pet to go hibernate for the winter. Before leaving though, she decides to tell him bedtime story.
===Make New Friends but Keep Discord===
Throughout Discord’s panic in Ponyville, Twilight spent that time in Canterlot helping Princess Celestia with preparations for the gala. Once the gala began, the purple alicorn was reasonably worried by the draconequus and his companion known as the Smooze. Twilight reminded Discord to keep his companion in-check.
Unfortunately, that did not happen the Smooze grows too large to be contained and proceeds to break out, causing misery to everyone until it is neutralized. Later after the chaos Discord causes which eventually subsides, Twilight was notified that Princess Celestia had invited the draconequus for entertainment.
===The Lost Treasure of Griffinstone===
Twilight and Rainbow Dash were present at the castle of Friendship when Pinkie Pie arrived, the former also being called by the Cutie Map. The purple alicorn recognizes the place impressed off from previous information she’s read on this city, something that will be proven wrong once her friends went to that city.
===Slice of Life===
The Mane Six end up having to fight off the Bugbear while the rest of the show's background characters try and ensure Cranky and Matilda's wedding goes well. In the end, their efforts were all successful and the episode ends with Twilight hugging her friends and being grateful of staying in Ponyville.
===Princess Spike===
Twilight enjoyed her time organizing the Grand Equestria Pony Summit which also gave her a lot of attention, much to Spike’s dismay. Her time spent organizing the event was exhausting, prompting her to go to sleep with Princess Cadence asking the baby dragon to keep the purple alicorn from being disturbed.
Unfortunately, Spike ended up abusing his power to get benefits while claiming to speak for Twilight. This ends with him accidentally destroying an important gemstone statue, much to the anger of the Canterlot denizens. They soon chase the baby dragon down to the purple alicorn’s place where she is met by an angry crowd who believes that she gave all the bad advice Spike gave despite being asleep the whole time.
Seeing the damage Spike has caused, Twilight and Princess Cadence suggested that he should apologize to the ponies, an advice he follows up on. Once he apologized, the group agreed to rebuild the statue. Once it was done however, a pony brings in a flower the baby dragon is allergic to, causing him to sneeze and destroy the statue again.
===Party Pooped===
Twilight was in charge of welcoming events for the yak diplomats, starting with a banquet. This is when she finds out about their destructive tendencies towards anything they deem to be imperfect, something that will continue with every attempt. She along with the rest of the Mane Six explain their troubles to Pinkie Pie who has been tasked with a party for the yaks, causing her great anxiety.
While she was gone, Spike's piano performance ends up enraging the yaks into waging war on Equestria. The Mane Six later gather up at Sugarcube Corner to lament on their repeated failures. Twilight however, ends up opening a trapdoor which leads to Pinkie Pie's cave which she uses to plan any future parties. There she was found in a state of distress after her failure to reach Yakyakistan.
However during her lament, she realizes where she had gone wrong and quickly calls the yaks back for one last party. After a heartfelt speech, she managed to calm the yaks down and even make them cancel their declaration of war, a success for the pink pony.
===Amending Fences===
During a more relaxing day, Spike decided to remind Twilight of her Canterlot friends who she has forgotten. Wanting to set things right, she decided to go back there to check up on her old friends. At first, the baby dragon and her visited their old home, finding it dilapidated. Then the two meet up with those old friends, Minuette, Lemon Heart, and Twinkleshine who were pretty amicable to their old friend’s return.
Visiting another old friend however yielded completely different results. Said friend is Moon Dancer who has become a recluse and proceeded to shut the door upon seeing who her visitors are, much to their dismay. Twilight later learned that reclusive unicorn became the way she did after the last party she went to.
Twilight approaches Moon Dancer during her time at the library, finally managing to get her to talk after taking the form of a book illustration. The two conversed for a bit until the purple alicorn offered a key to her old tower and the spell for shapeshifting into a book illustration which is enough to get the reclusive unicorn to come over.
Spending time with Moon Dancer proved to be a hassle as her behavior discomforted her old friends. Oddly enough, the reclusive unicorn was the one who chose to leave first with Twilight quickly stopping her. Moon Dancer explains that she has given up all attempts at friendship which is when the purple alicorn realized, this happened when she didn’t come to her old friend’s last party.
In an attempt to make amends, Twilight invites Pinkie Pie to help out with Minuette going with her. Eventually the party is finished with Moon Dancer lured into it through the use of a trail of books. Unexpectedly, she lashed out at this gesture, explaining how that last party was her first attempt at coming out of her shell, only for her one friend to abandon her.
Still, Twilight apologized for what she did and after some convincing, Moon Dancer agreed to just enjoy this party. In the end, the two got to make amends and the reclusive unicorn received another gift, that being a photograph of her with all her friends. 
===Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?===
In Princess Luna's dream, the Mane Six manage to take Nightmare Moon down and free her, causing her to realize that she just had a good dream. Later in the waking world, the Mane Six are discussing their horrid dreams which had caused them a loss of sleep. They quickly contacted Princess Luna who later arrives and explains the problem, the Tantabus has escaped and is now invading their dreams with plans to grow strong enough to invade the waking world itself.
To catch it, the Mane Six proceed to gather up that night for a sleepover as Princess Luna gets ready to hunt the Tantabus in their dreams. Once they have fallen asleep, the moon alicorn uses her magic to enter said dreams, finding the many nightmares the Mane Six are experiencing with Twilight in particular getting attacked by flying books. After her failure, the Mane Six console Princess Luna though she soon realizes that the Tantabus has escaped again, this time to the dreams of Ponyville's residents.
Twilight suggests to combine the dreams of the ponies into one singular dream, allowing for everyone to gather up and attempt to keep the Tantabus down. Despite this, the creature continues to grow larger, causing Princess Luna to blurt out its origins, that she had created it in order to punish herself for her actions as Nightmare Moon. The ponies quickly rush to console her as well as ask her to forgive herself which once she does so, successfully dispels the Tantabus.
===Made in Manehattan===
During a reading session, Twilight finds herself visited by Applejack and Rarity who have been called by the Cutie Map. The purple alicorn was disappointed that she wasn’t called though she still supported her friends. 
===The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows===
After discovering the secret of Shining Armor and Princess Cadence's baby, Pinkie Pie needs to keep said information a secret. While this seems harmless, she soon realizes how difficult it is and ends up having to avoid her friends and even Ponyville residents just to keep it a secret. Eventually she arrives at Twilight's Castle, only to be told that Shining Armor and Princess Cadence had their arrival delayed.
Luckily before Pinkie Pie can go insane, the two arrive after dealing with their delays and proceed to send the Mane Six on a scavenger hunt. Eventually they discover several items relating to the secret the couple were planning to explain, their baby. In the end, Pinkie Pie managed to get through it all without revealing the secret to anyone else.
===Scare Master===
After taking cover in the castle and talking to Spike, Fluttershy decided to meet up with her friends and finally agrees to join them in the Nightmare Night celebrations, much to their delight. The yellow pegasus was soon brought in to the Carousel Boutique in order to get a costume, settling for a black dress in the end. Later the group engage in some Nightmare Night games in Sugarcube Corner though Fluttershy fails to enjoy any of it.
Twilight suggests that Fluttershy try and do the scaring herself, a suggestion she agrees to. An hour later, her friends arrive to her cottage, only to be disappointed by the lackluster scares. The yellow pegasus is disappointed by this and ends up giving up though Angel manages to help her regain her resolve.
The rest of the Mane Six later visit the Apple family's haunted maze where after some regular scares, they find themselves in a tree tunnel. While exploring the place, a scaled monster began chasing them down until they are cornered by a cliff. To make things worse, Flutterbat appears from the horizon and descends upon the screaming pony... Only to stop and reveal herself to be Fluttershy all along. She also explains that her animal friends had been assisting her in making the additional props truly terrifying.
While her friends cheer her for successfully scaring them, Fluttershy still does not enjoy the act of scaring her friends and decides to go back to her cottage and resume her usual routine. They understand her plight and continue with their night while leaving the yellow pegasus to her own devices, much to her delight.
===What About Discord?===
Twilight and Spike spent 3 whole days book sorting and upon exiting the castle, the two discover that the rest of the Mane Six have gained a close bond to Discord. Worse still after inviting them to get an explanation, none of them were capable of giving a clear answer. Then the draconequus decided to tell the purple alicorn that moments of friendship are impossible to recreate, further fuelling her suspicion.
At this point, Twilight decided to approach Zecora and ask for help, receiving a potion which she claimed to be able to remove Discord’s spell. Said potion however had no effect, much to Twilight’s disappointment. In the end, Twilight learns that it's OK to be jealous as long as she admits it and as it turns out, Discord had merely left the purple alicorn behind, thinking she was busy with some problems. Once that's all settled, the friends gather up for a group hug.
===The Hooffields and McColts===
Twilight greeted Fluttershy during her arrival to the castle, finding that she was also called by the Cutie Map. The purple alicorn was notably excited about this, having missed out all the map’s missions throughout the season. They later arrive at Smoky Mountains by balloon where they discover the environment a mess and pumpkins being flung at one of the mountains.
The two ponies arrive at the first mountain to meet up with the denizens, the Hooffield Family lead by their matriarch Ma Hooffield, her family having a feud with the neighboring McColts. Fluttershy noticed the danger this feud was bringing upon the animals, prompting Twilight to order a ceasefire. The two ponies later approach the McColt family lead by their patriarch, Big Daddy McColt. After a failed attempt at a truce, the two families just end up throwing tomatoes at each other.
After some investigation, the two ponies fail to dig up any meaningful evidence that can help in this feud. With not many options, Fluttershy suggests that one of the sides should try and apologize first with the Hooffields agreeing to do so with a giant carrot cake. Unfortunately, that was a ruse and soon Hooffields start pouring out of the cake, causing the feud to escalate.
During this issue, Fluttershy decides to talk to some of the animals on why this conflict has been happening in the first place. Seeing this, Twilight proceeds to restrain ALL members of both sides long enough for the yellow pegasus to explain. In the end, both families realized their mistakes and soon reconciled for the sake of the environment around them.
===The Mane Attraction===
During a music festival, Pinkie Pie managed to help out Twilight with her hiring process, managing to book a famous singer by the name of Countess Coloratura. Applejack however does not recognize her, earning everyone's surprise. As it turns out, the two are childhood friends who drifted apart though they had been close for a while. Later the singer arrives with her manager Svengallop being a demanding pony which puts him on ends with the pink pony.
During the show, Svengallop confronts Pinkie Pie again, explaining the cancellation of a school foals contest while also insulting the foals involved. This was broadcasted by Twilight to the public, including Coloratura. In the end, she finally managed to get rid of that abusive manager and later perform successfully, all as herself.
===The Cutie Re-Mark===
During a lecture in the School for Gifted Unicorns, Twilight reveals how she and her friends got their cutie marks. Remember “The Cutie Mark Chronicles”? Yes, this is where the cutie mark origins come into play. Upon going home, the purple alicorn and Spike find Starlight waiting for them with a scroll.
Upon being approached, Starlight vanished though her scroll stayed behind. Touching it dragged Twilight and Spike before throwing them to the past, specifically when Rainbow Dash was about to perform her first sonic rainboom. The heliotrope unicorn was also there and quickly blasted the blue filly out of the sky, preventing that important event from happening.
Twilight and Spike were thrown back into the present, finding it a warring state against King Sombra. The two went back in time, only to be stopped by Starlight once again where she proceeded to prevent Rainbow Dash from doing her sonic rainboom once again. This time, it created a future where Queen Chrysalis has won. The rebellion ended up discovering the purple alicorn and the baby dragon, suspecting them to be changelings.
After meeting up with the rebellion’s leader, the place was attacked by changelings with Queen Chrysalis herself arriving. Twilight and Spike managed to escape again and go back in time, finding Starlight there once again. The heliotrope unicorn succeeded once more and the two end up in a future where Nightmare Moon won. Due to their experience with time travel, the evil alicorn finds interest in them and demands access to this spell.
Luckily, Twilight and Spike managed to escape this and return to the past to once again confront Starlight, each time escaping a grim future as a result of her succeeding. Finally, the purple alicorn managed to snag her opponent and drag her to the future, getting to view a desolate wasteland as a result of this horrid past.
Twilight decided to use this moment to ask Starlight why she did all this, prompting her to show them her backstory. After hearing it, the purple alicorn reached out to her with a heartfelt speech, finally convincing her to stop her attempts. With that issue finished, they all return back to the present, finding it not disastrous this time. The Mane Six soon arrive to confront the heliotrope unicorn though Twilight manages to convince them not to do so.
In the end, they agree to teach Starlight about friendship... and let her go without any consequences despite everything she has done.
==My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Friendship Games==
Due to the events of “The Cutie Re-Mark”, Twilight missed the entire events of the movie and conveniently arrives to see this universe’s counterpart of her. This thankfully doesn’t lead to any problems for the time-being.
==Season 6==
===The Crystalling===
With her redemption finished, Starlight now studies with Twilight as her student. The two converse about future plans before the heliotrope unicorn leaves to let her mentor finish her planning. This is where Starlight learns about Shining Armor and Princess Cadence's new baby as well as the Crystalling ceremony which has the ability to strengthen the Crystal Heart. Some conversations later, Twilight receives the invitation, allowing them all to go to the celebration.
Upon arriving, they meet up with Shining Armor who had become sleep deprived though he still leads them in while Starlight and Spike split from the group to meet up with Sunburst. Arriving at the palace, they eventually got to see the new baby named Flurry Heart, an alicorn. This is the first occurrence of a natural alicorn birth and for that reason, Princess Celestia and Luna have arrived to observe this phenomenon.
The decision to continue the Crystalling was approved with Twilight and Pinkie Pie being tasked to look after the baby. They were able to prepare her nicely with the former doing a good job at it... to good in fact and upon getting separated, Flurry Heart began to cry. Said crying grew so loud it shattered the Crystal Heart, much to everyone's horror
With the Crystal Heart shattered, the harsh snowstorm that was usually kept out could now close in on the city. Twilight and Princess Cadence attempted to find a spell to solve this issue though upon finding the relevant book, Flurry Heart conveniently blasts a hole through it.
Eventually after some struggles, Starlight and Sunburst figure out a way to restore the Crystal Heart using the help of the ponies. In the end, everything ended just fine.
===Gauntlet of Fire===
While Twilight and the alicorn sisters are enjoying a spa day, Rarity arrived with Spike who is glowing. The sisters explained that the dragon lord is beckoning all dragons to his place for an event which is causing the glow. As the only way to stop it is to answer the call, the purple alicorn and white unicorn agree to follow the baby dragon in his travels.
During the briefing, the dragon lord explained that he plans on retiring and is hosting a competition for the next ruler. This is also where Spike meets Ember, daughter of the dragon lord and learns of Garble’s plan to destroy Equestria once he becomes dragon lord. With this, the baby dragon decided to join the competition to simply make sure Garble doesn’t end up becoming dragon lord.
The first race involved going through a body of water with geysers all over. While swimming through, Spike found a competitor who was knocked down, prompting him to drag them to shore which is where he discovers that it’s Ember herself, joining this tournament in disguise after her father forbade him from joining the competition.
Ember was confused on why she was saved which is when Spike gave a brief explanation on friendship with Twilight and Rarity showing up to help him with it. Hesitantly, the blue dragon accepts their help and later brings the baby dragon on the next race and the next one. However in one of those races, Spike goes off to save the white unicorn, confusing Ember.
Spike explained that this is what friends do, prompting Ember to abandon her partner. Still, his friends help him reach the volcano’s center where the scepter lays, the object that granted victory to the one that claims it first. Unfortunately, Spike was grabbed by Garble and was almost dropped into a pit of rocks until the blue dragon dived in and saved him.
The two managed to beat Garble with Spike being the one who acquired the scepter. With that, he won the title of dragon lord and after punishing Garble, he decided to give the title to Ember, believing her to be capable of ruling the dragon lands well. In the end, the blue dragon earns the respect of her father and subjects and the baby dragon got to go home safely without an enemy to Equestria.
===No Second Prances===
In order to progress Starlight’s friendship lesson, Twilight tasks her with inviting a friend for a dinner meeting with Princess Celestia. The heliotrope unicorn finds difficulty in this until she finally meets someone with the same hardships and past as hers. Unexpectedly, she invites this new friend to her mentor’s place, much to her dismay…
Said friend is Trixie.
Despite Trixie turning a new leaf the last time Twilight saw her, she still remained suspicious of the blue unicorn. Starlight asks her mentor to give her new friend a chance which she reluctantly agrees to. She still very much wants her student to have friends that weren’t a dangerous villain and tries to get some alternatives though she refused.
When the dinner meeting was supposed to happen, Starlight had gone along with Trixie in another show, leaving Twilight alone to deal with Princess Celestia. After some awkward moments, the purple alicorn had enough and went to confront the blue unicorn. In the confrontation, Trixie blurted her motives, revealing that she had befriended the heliotrope unicorn just to best Twilight at something.
Starlight was of course saddened by this and ran away, leaving Trixie on her own. Twilight later finds her student and apologized for her actions. This was enough encouragement for Starlight to come back and help her friend with her last trick, earning the applause of the audience. In the end, Trixie fully earns the purple alicorn’s forgiveness and she and Starlight remain good friends until the end.
===A Hearth's Warming Tail===
During yet another Hearth's Warming Eve, Ponyville denizens are decorating the town though Twilight soon realized that Starlight wasn't interested in the holiday. In order to deal with that, the purple alicorn decides to explain a new story, a parody of "A Christmas Carol". In the end, the heliotrope unicorn accepts the moral of the story and joins in on the celebrations.
===The Saddle Row Review===
The Mane Six arrive at the Carousel Boutique to meet up with Rarity who was reading a newspaper, much to the horror of her friends. A flashback occurs, showing the ponies arriving at Saddle Row, a famous street which the white unicorn managed to set a shop at. As expected, the place is a dusty mess and new problems continue to occur with Rarity still insisting to get the shop open at the date she had planned.
Twilight in particular was tasked with tidying some dresses, with limited success, the same thing all her friends are experiencing. Twilight was forced to lock Rarity out to keep her from seeing the chaos going on. In the end however, they realized that the white unicorn wanted them to do things their way as she knows them well.
With this in mind, the rest of the Mane Six went back to work with Twilight finally letting Rarity out to see the success her friends have made. Back at the present, the reviews were particularly great and while she questions why her friends didn't tell her about the problems with them simply not wishing to burden her.
===Applejack's "Day" Off=== 
Wanting to take Applejack for a spa day, Rarity invites Twilight and Spike to deal with her chores while the orange pony and white unicorn take a break. Before going, Applejack gives a list of instructions to the purple alicorn and baby dragon. Unfortunately, said list is excessively complicated and the two fail to make any progress until her friends come back.
Seeing them fail, Applejack gave them a demonstration of each of those steps, realizing how overly complicated they all are. This is after she helped a spa fix a long-time issue which had been slowing down their progress for a while. Her friends realized this and helped her find ways to simplify her chores. In the end, the orange pony got to have an actual spa day with her spare time.
===Flutter Brutter===
With her brother now stopping by her cottage, Fluttershy attempted to get him a job. This included a job at the castle of friendship. Twilight had agreed to this and assigned Zephyr with cleaning the throne room. Somehow this ended up with Spike doing the cleaning, leading to the turquoise Pegasus getting fired. 
===Spice up Your Life===
In an attempt to fix the Cutie Map which has been unfunctional for a while, Twilight and Starlight figure out a spell to reactivate it. The first it did is send Pinkie Pie and Rarity to Canterlot, much to the latter's delight.
===Stranger Than Fan Fiction===
Due to Twilight being busy with princess duties, Rainbow Dash promises to get an autograph from Daring Do for her. She remains unaware of the adventures her friend goes through while she’s busy. 
===28 Pranks Later===
During the Mane Six’s meeting regarding Rainbow Dash's pranking spree, Twilight ends up sitting on a whoopie cushion, earning the laughter from the blue pegasus and Pinkie Pie. The purple alicorn later joins the rest of the town who have also been pranked by Rainbow Dash in order to complain to Pinkie Pie.
Twilight later joins the rest of Ponyville's denizens in their mass zombie prank in order to terrorize Rainbow Dash. It was a success and they manage to scare her straight... with the side effect of her thinking up a way to one-up them.
===The Times They Are a Changeling===
Twilight, Starlight, and Spike arrive to the Crystal Empire, the former excited to see Flurry Hearth while the latter is wearing a disguise due to his fame in the place. Upon exiting the train, they are greeted by a number of Crystal Ponies and later by a number of guards, allowing the group to realize that a changeling has been spotted in the kingdom.
Princess Cadence later comes in to prove Twilight’s innocence and proceeds to explain that since the Crystalling Event, the Crystal Empire has been filled with more love than usual, making them a target for the changelings who feed on love. With that reasoning, the purple alicorn offers to help out with this issue.
Spike later finds said changeling, finding him to be a friendly one under the name Thorax. In a last ditch attempt to try and prove his harmlessness, the baby dragon invites him to the palace where he disguises himself as another pony. Unfortunately upon encountering Flurry Heart, the friendly changeling accidentally drops his disguise, revealing himself in front of everyone.
After some struggles, Spike managed to finally get it through the other ponies that changelings are capable of change, using a musical number. This somehow works and with that, Thorax was allowed to walk free and try to spread his less dangerous way of life to others. 
===The Fault in Our Cutie Marks===
While the Cutie Mark Crusaders are attempting to help Gabby with getting a cutie mark, they consult with Twilight on this, As Gabby is a griffon, the purple alicorn has low expectations as cutie marks have only been observed on equines and using magic to manually make it appear can cause horrible consequences.
Still, they continue to help her without much success. Later however, Gabby suddenly returned with a cutie mark on brewing which she claimed to have earned after helping Zecora out. The fillies intend on telling this to Twilight though the grey griffon gets nervous at this suggestion and leaves due to some chores.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders arrive at Twilight’s castle some time later which is when they realize that Gabby had come there first to leave a note to thank the fillies for helping her get her cutie mark. The purple alicorn was reasonably excited at this discovery though the Cutie Mark Crusaders later find that it’s faked, much to her disappointment.
===Viva Las Pegasus===
After seeing where the Cutie Map sent them, Twilight comforted Applejack and Fluttershy that they’ll do well in this place despite how ill-equipped they are at dealing with this issue, explaining that the map probably has a reason for choosing them. 
===Every Little Thing She Does===
For unknown reasons, Twilight decided to have an entire day dedicated to teaching Starlight magic, something she has shown to be remarkably proficient at multiple occasions. This ends as expected, with the heliotrope unicorn performing multiple spells in quick succession without many difficulties.
With that out of the way, this means that Starlight has time to deal with some friendship problems. Oddly enough, she decided to deal with them all at once, worrying Twilight and Spike greatly. Still, they have enough faith in the heliotrope unicorn to leave her at the castle with the rest of the Mane Six while they go to a school event.
This faith was misguided as upon coming back, they find the castle in shambles with the rest of the Mane Six mind-controlled and acting in destructive ways while Starlight struggled to control them. Twilight quickly reversed this issue and confronted her student which is where she realized that Starlight wasn’t doing too well with friendship problems and wanted to do it well to avoid disappointing her mentor.
With that in mind, Twilight explained that friendship problems weren’t mere tasks, they were meant to be ways to grow closer to others and cannot be skipped over. Having listened to this, Starlight went off to make amends with the rest of the Mane Six, ending with the group deciding to chill and relax on the castle roof per Rainbow Dash's request.
===P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)===
Twilight and Spike meet up with Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Rarity who had been sent on a holiday at Seaward Shoals. The three ponies are in a disheveled state, having experienced some sort of unknown calamity which the purple alicorn asks them about, the baby dragon taking notes. Unfortunately, the three quickly got off and refused to join for a tea party, forcing Twilight and Spike to meet with them separately.
Meeting up with Rarity, she begins to explain the story from her point of view in which for some reason, Applejack was depicted as a stereotypical sailor. Once at sea, the orange pony ends up tossing a tray of food overboard, much to her companions' horror though Twilight notes that this seem out-of-character. Being an unreliable narrator, the white unicorn continues as Pinkie Pie raises a piñata while Applejack drives the ship into a storm. 
Despite Rarity's begging, Applejack continues her course to the storm until a wave sweeps in and capsizes the ship. As expected, Twilight is skeptical of this story and is prompted to meet up with Pinkie Pie to make make sure it's accurate. Meeting up with her, she begins to explain the story from her point of view in which for completely legitimate reasons, Rarity was depicted as a glamorous sea captain with a large crew moving her luggage. 
Once at sea, the pink pony's tray of candy was replaced with some fancy hors d'oeuvres before throwing it overboard, much to her companions' horror though Twilight notes that this seem out-of-character. Being an unreliable narrator, the pink pony continues and decides to raise a piñata in an attempt to lighten the mood though Rarity seemed unimpressed.
During their cruise, a storm ends up washing over them followed by a wave which capsizes the ship. As expected, Twilight is skeptical of this story and is prompted to meet up with Applejack to make make sure it's accurate. Meeting up with her, she begins to explain the story from her point of view in which for some reason, Pinkie Pie was depicted as maddened fool. 
Once at sea, Applejack found herself annoyed by her friends who are enjoying their lunch instead of focusing on the adventure ahead. This continued to get worse as Pinkie Pie begins the usual set of games to unwind and Rarity accidentally uses the ship's only map as a tablecloth. As they fight over the map, the ship is hit by a wave, capsizing it. 
Twilight was somehow able to piece together a concrete story despite how biased everyone's story is. She later invites the three ponies to the docks to explain what had happened. As it turns out, cucumbers had a habit of inviting the attention of a sea-monster which was the one responsible for capsizing the ship. Realizing what had happened and hearing the purple alicorn's explanation, the three ponies reconcile and decide to go on another boat-trip.
===Top Bolt===
Twilight met up with Rainbow Dash back at the castle, the two having been summoned by the Cutie Map. They were sent to Wonderbolt Academy despite the blue pegasus previously being there. Returning to the academy, the two meet up with Spitfire who was training a new batch of cadets. They decided to try and check out the classroom section to observe the cadets which is where they notice an intriguing pair by the name of Sky Stinger and Vapor Trail.
Twilight and Rainbow Dash later observe the duo in their team flying practice, finding Vapor Trail boosting an unaware Sky Stinger at the cost of her performance. The two ponies soon realized that this is the friendship problem and they later confront the light green pegasus at the locker where they learn about her partner's backstory and the origin of their friendship.
Wanting to keep their friendship alive, Vapor Trail decides to ask for personal training with the same for Sky Stinger. Twilight ends up training the dark blue pegasus, finding him failing in a variety of tests though he somehow remained confident. Seeing him fail repeatedly, Vapor Trail finally confessed what she had been doing, much to Sky Stinger's anger which caused the two to split.
In an attempt to fix this problem, Twilight and Rainbow Dash formulate a plan with the former meeting up with Sky Stinger and explaining her backstory, focusing on her improvement and character development regarding friendship, allowing him to gain the resolve to stay at the academy. He was then lead Vapor Trail and after some encouragement, the two reconcile and train each other until the day of the entry test which they passed.
With that, Twilight and Rainbow Dash's mission is complete and they return to the castle... only for the latter to be called back to the academy for a "Wonderbolt Emergency", much to her dismay.
===To Where and Back Again===
After suffering from anxiety from the upcoming Sunset festival, Starlight was soon comforted by the Mane Six with Twilight in particular asking Trixie to help her out. Despite this, the visit still goes wrong, forcing the two to go back to Ponyville where they find everyone acting strangely. They soon discover that Ponyville's denizens have been kidnapped and replaced with changelings, much to their horror.
After the ordeal Starlight, Trixie, Discord, and Thorax went through in the hive, they manage to eventually get to Queen Chrysalis. The heliotrope unicorn in particular managed to convince the good changeling to share his love, allowing him to become reformed and teach the others how to do so, allowing them to destroy the queen's throne.
This also frees the imprisoned denizens who are thankful of their new freedom.
==My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Forgotten Friendship==
After Sunset finds her friends having no memories of her redemption, she decided to go back to Equestria to get some help. Once there, Twilight explained that Princess Celestia has some answers for her issues, allowing the two to finally reconcile. Once done, the purple alicorn assisted the two in the restricted section of the library, finding the artefact responsible for this and how to counter its effects.
With that in-mind, Sunset returns to the human world to deal with this issue, eventually succeeding.
==Season 7==
===Celestial Advice===
While Spike and Starlight were conversing, Twilight teleported into the latter’s room to make some measurements for a gift. Once done, she met up with the baby dragon, revealing the gift they’ve been preparing, a wall mirror with various pictures of important moments of friendship. With that done, the two join the rest of the creatures in the party.
During said party, Discord arrives and asks Twilight what future plans she has for Starlight. The purple alicorn explained that she has 3 more years of friendship lessons, confusing the draconequus who points out that the heliotrope unicorn has already developed past the need for friendship lessons.
This was quite worrying as Twilight had not planned beyond the friendship lessons and checking the notes she had, she realized that Discord was right. Princess Celestia later arrived to check up on her student, finding her a nervous wreck. As the purple alicorn had been sent away, she now must send her student somewhere as well.
Twilight brainstormed some possibilities of where to send Starlight, finding disaster and destruction wherever she was sent to. This is worrying of course and stressed the purple alicorn greatly. Seeing her student in this state, Princess Celestia comforted her with her own experience with sending Twilight away, remarking how similar their circumstances are.
With that speech, Twilight regained her resolve and went back to the party to announce that Starlight has completed her friendship lessons. Despite this however, the heliotrope unicorn still wants to stay, much her mentor’s relief. In the end, Twilight got to show Starlight her gift and promised that she’ll always be by her side.
===All Bottled Up===
The Mane Six leave for Manehattan for vacation, leaving Starlight and Trixie in charge of running the castle. One of the activities they engaged in was an escape room which they try to break out at record time. They were just 2 seconds off... Some time later they return back to the castle, inviting Starlight and Trixie for a spa break, prompting the former to quickly erase the memories of everyone in the place in order to cover up the problems they just went through.
===A Flurry of Emotions===
During a conversation with Nurse Redheart, Twilight is notified of a disease sweeping through a number of foals. Wanting to cheer them up, the purple alicorn planned a variety of gifts and entertainment for them. Just before she and Spike could leave, the two are greeted by Princess Cadence and Shining Armor who appear to be suffering from sleep deprivation.
As it turns out, the couple have been facing issues with raising Flurry Heart and are called in to another event. Despite Twilight’s schedule being packed, she still decides to take the baby alicorn in. She is given a number of baby supplies and a toy before the couple left. As expected, this went horribly wrong and Flurry Heart ended up wrecking havoc wherever she was brought to.
Despite all the trouble Flurry Heart put them through, Twilight and Spike eventually arrive at the hospital. During the storytime session, the baby alicorn throws a tantrum and accidentally loses her toy. In distress, she begins looking for it, going as far as levitating various objects and ponies in the place, endangering everyone there.
Realizing her mistake of neglecting Flurry Heart all this time, Twilight apologized to her and decided to play with her for the rest of the day, much to the baby alicorn’s delight. Eventually Princess Cadence and Shining Armor returned, finding their baby and the purple alicorn getting along with each other. 
===Fluttershy Leans In===
The rest of the Mane Six listen in on Fluttershy's ambition to build an animal sanctuary. They agree and attempt to support her
===A Royal Problem===
Twilight watched in horror as the Cutie Map sends Starlight to Canterlot castle and worse, the friendship problem involved Princess Celestia and Luna. Knowing this, the purple alicorn continued to give her student advice through a ballerina box though thankfully, it all goes well. 
===Not Asking for Trouble===
The Mane Six were the first to be notified by Pinkie Pie of her new role as an ambassador for the yaks as well as her invitation to their Yickslurbertfest celebration. Unfortunately, disaster struck and due to their culture, the yaks refuse to consensually request for help and proceed to kick her out for offering it. She later returns to the castle where she figures out the loophole, they just have to help the yaks without their consent.
Soon they got to work, clearing away the horrid disaster and fixing up the village while the yaks sleep. They wake up to find the village in pristine condition though Prince Rutherford later notices the ponies leaving. He thanks them for respecting their tradition and regains his respect for Pinkie Pie, finally giving her the role of an honorary yak.
===Fame and Misfortune===
Checking on the friendship journal, the Mane Six realizes that it is in poor condition, prompting Starlight to make good quality copies which she plans on selling to the public. At first, Twilight was pleased with the results though encountering the Cutie Mark Crusaders using the book to bring in more applicants to their camp, the purple alicorn began to have worries.
Meeting up with Starlight, the two encounter a group of fans who are asking for autographs on their journals. Worryingly, they did not read the journal and are just planning on keeping them for collections. Later the two encounter the rest of the Mane Six who are suffering from the fame brought upon by the journals
This continues to get worse as ponies began to gather outside the castle, having arguments about the tales happening in the journal, seemingly forgetting that in-universe, these are actual real life figures. The Mane Six's attempts to calm down the crowd are ignored. In the end, they learn that at least a few ponies learned something from this endeavor and they plan on simply waiting out the fad.
===Triple Threat===
In order to help Ember with various character issues, Spike decided to invite her to Ponyville. Having a monarch of a country coming to visit is certainly a daunting task and due to his role as the ambassador for the dragon kingdom, the baby dragon was responsible for this. Twilight and Starlight decided to comfort him with his decision, only to later realize that Thorax is also coming over at the same day.
While Spike and Starlight are greeting Ember, Twilight gave Thorax a tour to keep him away from the dragon monarch. Unfortunately, the baby dragon later arrives with the dragon monarch who was currently enjoying a banquet in the castle. Things continue to worsen as Spike is summoned by the Cutie Map and is forced to go outside to deal with the friendship problem that is present.
Twilight later meets up with Ember and guides her through town to try help with her abrasive personality. Starlight and Spike later join her, leaving Thorax behind though the dragon monarch felt disappointed with the baby dragon’s lack of appearances throughout her day. In their argument, Ember ends up snapping loudly at him, prompting the changeling monarch to check up on them.
The two monarchs almost got into a fight which Spike managed to prevent which allowed him to confess that he had accidentally invited the two of them on the same day and are worried that they wouldn’t get along. This disappointed the two of them with how little faith the baby dragon had for them, prompting them to leave.
Luckily, the two monarchs end up reconciling in the background and later Spike gets the opportunity to make amends with them. With that, their kingdoms bonds are now strengthened, marking the end of the baby dragon’s mission.
===It Isn't the Mane Thing About You===
While waiting on Zecora’s cure for her ruined mane, Rarity decided to visit Twilight and Starlight for a solution. In an attempt to regrow the white unicorn’s mane, the two discover that one cannot create a mane without taking from another source despite their proficiency in magic. After some more attempts at dealing with the situation, the white unicorn is left in despair.
Her friends thankfully come over to cheer her up, inspiring her to make the most out of this situation and create a new and fabulous hairstyle out of the remains of her mane. After getting the situation resolved, Rarity managed to get her old mane back though she later realized that she was also on the cover of the magazine she had cancelled her photoshoot schedule with. Her friends had convinced the photographer to take pictures of her new style, allowing her to get what she had been planning for all along.
===A Health of Information===
After being notified of Zecora’s infection, Twilight and Spike help Fluttershy search through the library on anything related to a possible cure. Due to exhaustion, the two fall asleep until the yellow pegasus finds the book she was looking for. They soon learn of the legendary healer Mage Meadowbrook who had managed to cure swamp fever. Her address was located in the book with her descendant Cattail running the place. Upon being notified of the situation, he hands over some medical journals on the issue.
Though it tells of Meadowbrook's success, the journals weren't specific on the methods and to make things worse, Fluttershy has also been infected with the swamp fever. Despite this, she still keeps this up and attempts to get one of the ingredients for the medicine, the honey of the flash bees. Her attempts fail repeatedly until she was finally knocked out.
Twilight and Cattail continue to work as Fluttershy remains unconscious for 3 whole days while Zecora's infection continues to worsen. Luckily upon waking up, the yellow pegasus noticed a method to deal with the flash bees which worked. In the end, they managed to cure Zecora and Fluttershy in the ailment, the latter learning not to push herself to an unhealthy point.
===Once Upon a Zeppelin===
During a day of paperwork duties, Spike brings in a letter from Twilight’s parents, claiming they’ve won a zeppelin cruise with the whole family. The baby dragon offers to cover for the purple alicorn, allowing her to go along with the holiday. They later arrive at the zeppelin and are given a rundown on the services present including a view of the North Star.
Twilight had been a little suspicious of these services as her parents had notified her about never having won any competitions. Worse still, the other visitors seem to be watching the family creepily, some even having merch of them. While visiting the captain’s cabin, the purple alicorn discovers the reason for this…
That captain is Iron Will and he has set up this cruise as a themed vacation involving Princess Twilight and Cadence. This is of course very worrying and worse still, the minotaur has somehow acquired consent forms from the purple alicorn’s parents. Not wanting to cancel the cruise and ruining the vacation for everyone involved, including her family, Twilight decided to go along with this ruse.
During that time, she ends up getting stuck with a colt named Star Tracker who has won a raffle and is rewarded with being an honorary Sparkle family member. Despite the concept of personal space still being present between family, Star Tracker creepily stuck to Twilight like glue at all times. Besides that, other visitors also crowded the purple alicorn, making it difficult for her to enjoy time with her family.
Her family is of course worried for Twilight though she assures them that she’ll be fine and will be able to catch up with them during the North Star viewing. Unfortunately, she later gets held back from the event and arrives late, much to her frustration. Princess Cadence later checked up on her, explaining that she should to learn to also care for herself besides for others.
Twilight later met up with her family, admitting her mistake of holding off from doing the things she wanted to do. With that, they decided to eat ice cream together and relax which is when Iron Will comes over again, offering a service of eating ice cream with the purple alicorn. At this point, Twilight decided to announce that she simply wants to spend time with her family and oddly enough, the crowd respected her wishes and turned on the minotaur.
In the end, the family got to enjoy their time together at the last days on the zeppelin and Iron Will is thrown overboard with a parachute. 
===Secret and Pies===
After angering Pinkie Pie by avoiding all of her pies, Rainbow Dash meets up with Twilight and Applejack to explain her side of the story and the guilt she has for her actions. The two point out that the pink pony may already feel hurt, leading to the blue pegasus considering a way to apologize to her friend. 
===Uncommon Bond===
Among the ponies Starlight runs into while spending a day with Sunburst, the two encounter Twilight who ends up bonding with the orange unicorn on an enjoyment with antiquing, much to the heliotrope unicorn’s dismay. Similar events keep happening throughout the day, leading to Starlight getting left behind every time.
Twilight later meets up with her student, listening to her sorrows on the situation. This was supposedly the result of everyone changing over time which while normally is a great explanation, lead to Starlight turning herself and Sunburst into foals in an attempt to bond, much to the latter’s discomfort.
After getting out of that incident, Sunburst decided to consult with Twilight as Starlight is still distressed by the situation. The purple alicorn suggested the orange unicorn to re-evaluate what he still has in common with his friend, prompting him to meet up with her other friends, allowing him to come up with a solution.
Once done, Twilight leads Starlight to this project, a life-sized version of the game she and Sunburst loved, Dragon Pit. This had been made by all her friends including the orange unicorn, much to his friend’s delight. Starlight joins in with the game, growing closer with all of her friends.
In the end, Starlight and Sunburst learn to accept that while they don’t have too much in common, at least they still have each other for company. The two are embraced by all their friends before the orange unicorn needs to leave on train. Among the souvenirs he got was an old book with references to Star Swirl the Bearded. This will be important later. 
===Shadow Play===
Remember “Uncommon Bond”? Yes, this is where Sunburst’s book comes into play. Within the book, he discovers the explanation of where the Pillars of Equestria went. They simply disappeared during a fight against the Pony of Shadows. Curious about the details, Twilight and Starlight helped the orange unicorn out with further research, eventually finding where the fight took place.
Arriving at the place, Twilight puts down the book which revealed a recording from the pillars about their sacrifice to imprison the Pony of Shadows. With some more research, the purple alicorn figures out a way to free the pillars. The rest of the Mane Six are sent to retrieve artefacts relating to the Pillars of Equestria.
The Mane Six gathered up at the place, using the artefacts to activate a spell, releasing the pillars from their prison... as well as the one they had imprisoned, The Pony of Shadows.
Upon escaping, the Pony of Shadows quickly destroys the place before being blasted with magic and forced to retreat. The pillars decide to ally themselves with the Mane Six in order to try and figure out how to deal with the issue though Star Swirl is unsure of this due to Twilight’s actions.
Viewing the Cutie Map, Star Swirl decides to use the Tree of Harmony to banish the Pony of Shadows which would destroy it and the Elements of Harmony. This is of course very worrying though due to the situation, the bearded unicorn is unwilling to listen to Twilight’s input, much to her dismay. She later comes back with a banishment method that doesn’t involve sacrificing anyone.
Star Swirl is once again dismissive though after some agreements from everyone else, he finally takes it to consideration and begins preparations. The Cutie Map has also pointed to the location of the Pony of Shadows. Being a redeemed villain herself, Starlight is unsure of banishment and considers a more peaceful solution which the bearded unicorn instantly rejects.
The rest of the pillars later explained the backstory of the Pony of Shadows, formerly a unicorn named Stygian and the one who brough the pillars together. Oddly enough, they had no idea of his motives or even what spell he casted with Star Swirl claiming that Stygian is merely an evil pony. Twilight stands behind him, disappointing Starlight greatly.
Later the group extract the Elements of Harmony before arriving at the location the Pony of Shadows was at. Upon arriving, they are soon dragged into the Well of Shade where they face off against the dark entity. The spell was soon cast, opening a portal to limbo in order to banish their opponent. Twilight soon noticed the Pony of Shadows' true form sticking out, that being a pony named Stygian, and quickly flies in to try and learn more.
After learning about the situation from his point of view, the rest of the ponies soon realized how wrong they were and focused their attempts to instead banish the darkness he was tied to. Their efforts were successful in freeing Stygian with the added benefit of the Elements of Harmony remaining intact due to not being used for banishment.
==My Little Pony: The Movie==
With the first friendship festival underway, Twilight is beginning to get nervous on how it’ll go. After some encouragement from Spike, she goes off to meet the princesses for some extra help which they decline for no reason at all. The purple alicorn and her assistant leave in disappointment before meeting up with the rest of the Mane Six to explain the problems she just went through with the princesses.
Despite this, the rest of the Mane Six still encourages Twilight with a song though moments after they finish, they are attacked by an army belonging to a so-called Storm King. Leading the charge was a unicorn with a broken horn named Tempest Shadow and her hedgehog minion Grubber, the former managing to defeat all the princesses with a petrifying smoke bomb.
Twilight was able to survive this with the help of her friends before fleeing. They all later fell into a river and swept out of Equestria. Having heard of Princess Celestia’s last instructions, the purple alicorn leads her friends to try and find the so-called queen of the hippo, starting out at a shady place known as Klugetown.
There, the denizens attempt to enslave the ponies though they were saved from this predicament by an abyssinian named Capper. He later brings them to his house with plans to sell them to his boss though upon receiving some help from Rarity, he realizes his mistake. Twilight also learns that they are looking for hippogriffs, half-pony half-bird creatures living at a mountain.
Later Capper's boss and Tempest's army arrive at the town though they end up at odds with each other, allowing the Mane Six to escape onto the airship. Unfortunately, said airships are manned by a crew anthropomorphic parrots working for the Storm King. They were almost thrown overboard though lunch time strikes and the ponies are invited to eat with the parrots.
Rainbow Dash managed to convince them to return to their Sky Pirate roots which they agree to though when she performs a sonic rainboom, Tempest quickly realized their location. The Mane Six hid from their pursuers and managed to flee on a makeshift air balloon. Arriving at the mountain however, they find the hippogriff kingdom in ruin. Going back down, they notice a creature in a pond and attempt to pursue it, almost drowning in the process though they were soon rescued by the creature, a seapony by the name of Princess Skystar.
They were soon lead to the leader of the civilization, Queen Novo. After some discussions and explanations, the Mane Six were turned into seaponies using a magic pearl which the queen refuses to relinquish. Later down the line, Pinkie Pie decides to start a party with the seaponies though it was cut short when Twilight is caught attempting to steal the magic pearl, getting her and her friends banished from the kingdom.
Upon arriving back at shore, Twilight's friends confront her for her actions and after a heated exchanged, they end up abandoning her. Conveniently after this happened, Tempest arrived and somehow managed to beat and capture the purple alicorn. She later awakens in a cage inside an airship, the unicorn amputee standing outside. After some small talk, Tempest decided to explain her backstory leading to how she ended up in this situation.
Eventually the airship arrives back at Canterlot where they get to see the elusive Storm King in-person. With Twilight now present, the warlord now owns the power of 4 alicorns which allows him to power up his staff to the point of being able to move the sun and moon. Now victorious, he decided to break his promise with Tempest, getting ready to kill her off.
This was interrupted by an attack on Canterlot due to the rest of the Mane Six and the creatures they had met along the way helping them out. The Storm King quickly turned his attention to the attackers, creating a storm in the city in an attempt to deter them. Yet this did not work as the ponies reached the castle anyway using Pinkie Pie's party cannon.
After a reunion with Twilight, they quickly rush to grab the Storm King’s staff, only for him and the purple alicorn to be sucked into the storm. Before they could grief, she descends with the staff safely... and so did the warlord. Before he could throw a petrifying bomb, Tempest stops him, causing them both to be petrified and fall off.
Twilight quickly saves Tempest from the fall, all while Storm King fell off and shattered as he has nobody else to save him. With that issue done, the Mane Six use the staff to reverse the petrification on everyone.
In the end, the ponies celebrate the Friendship Festival they've been planning while also celebrating their victory. Tempest and the new additions are also welcomed to the party which ends with Princess Celestia raising the sun.
==My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Spring Breakdown==
Finding an unspecified portal to Equestria, Sunset jumped in alongside human Rainbow Dash and Twilight. In order to deal with this situation, the three go to the castle of friendship which is when they got to meet pony Twilight. To bring them up to speed, the purple alicorn and Spike explain everything that’s happened until then including the events of “My Little Pony : The Movie”.
During the explanations of the aftermath, human Rainbow Dash recognized the Storm King’s symbols in the magic she was investigating in the human world. Realizing the implications, the group is horrified and the humans quickly return to their world and regain their former physical forms.
While successful in saving the crew of the ship and their friends, they are now trapped in an island. With nowhere else to go, Sunset decided to lead everyone to the portal to Equestria before leading them back to the Castle of Friendship. Upon arriving, she met up with pony Twilight once again before asking her for access to the portal that leads to Canterlot High, much to her dismay. 
==Season 8==
===School Daze===
With the cleanup finished and Tempest sent to another mission, the Mane Six decide to incorporate the locations they've travelled to into the map for bigger reach. In an attempt to spread the idea of friendship far and wide, Twilight decides to open a friendship school. After some consultations with Princess Celestia and the Equestria Education Association (EEA), she manages to open said school with her friends as employees.
Soon students were brought in with some of them not being ponies. At first the education seemed fun though sticking to the EEA guidelines ruins everything. A particular group of non-pony students called the Young Six decide to ditch class. Despite this, the school continues their Friends and Family Day celebration with the EEA member Chancellor Neighsay. Unfortunately, this celebration was ruined by the Young Six coming back with the Ocellus currently in a monstrous form.
To make things worse, Chancellor Neighsay is a bigot and is displeased with the existence of non-ponies in an Equestria School, prompting him to shut down the school and cause the ire of the other kingdoms from this action.
Twilight's friends decide to visit her after the horrendous event, finding her extremely distraught from the event. Starlight later visits and encourages her to fight back against this problem which is enough to restore the purple alicorn's resolve. She later meets up with her friends and plans on re-opening the school, this time with her rules as the Princess of Friendship.
They later visit the other kingdoms to ask for their students back though unfortunately, they are now gone which results in a threat of war. During their search, they find the pony member of the Young Six, Sandbar buying a large quantity of items, prompting the Mane Six to follow him. They find the Young Six attacked by nearby wildlife which they dispatch, earning the respect of the students who later agree to go back to school as long as EEA standards aren't used.
After the kingdom leaders calm down from the return of the students, the School of Friendship is reopened, leading to Chancellor Neighsay coming over and seeing what had happened. Despite arguments from everyone else, the EEA member still believes that this school shouldn't exist though he is no longer allowed to shut it down. In the end, the school functions exactly as it should, to teach the lessons of friendship to anyone willing to attend it.
===Fake It 'Til You Make It===
After being alienated by Fluttershy's rude personas, the raccoon employees bring in the rest of the Mane Six minus Rarity to confront the yellow pegasus. Unfortunately, she still continues her act, even going as far as to kick out her friends who later bring in Rarity to deal with the situation. She handles the situation much better and manages to snap Fluttershy out of it.
===Surf and/or Turf===
Twilight greeted the Cutie Mark Crusaders on their arrival to the castle. As it turns out, the fillies have been called by the Cutie Map to Mount Aris, home of the Hippogriffs. Conveniently, the purple alicorn also needs to go there to get a signature from Silverstream’s guardians. With that, the group went off to the marked location by train, eventually arriving to Silverstream’s household.
At the place, the group met up with her brother, Terramar. This is where they learn of the hippogriffs ability to turn into seaponies and transform back at will as well as their kingdom being split between land and sea. The group eventually realized that the hippogriff is having difficulties choosing where he wants to be as his parents lived away from each other in the two locations.
The group were allowed to travel to both locations to make up their mind which is problematic as Sweetie Belle seemed to favor Mount Aris while Scootaloo favored Seaquestria. As they struggled to come up with an agreement, Twilight came over and advised them that perhaps they didn’t need to choose. This turned out to be the correct decision, ending the Cutie Mark Crusader’s mission.
===Horse Play===
While thinking of ways to celebrate Princess Celestia’s anniversary, Twilight suggested the idea of setting up a play. Finding out that her mentor loved plays, the purple alicorn decided to star her as the main character in the play despite being extremely inexperienced. Spike is worried of this though Twilight assures him that it’ll go well.
The two meet up with the rest of the Mane Six who were busy preparing the play to tell them about the news. Later the sun alicorn does arrive though soon everyone finds her to be terrible at this though the purple alicorn refuses to let her know despite everyone’s warnings. She later sends Princess Celestia to some acting teachers while Twilight tries to cover up for the play.
The conditions continue to get worse until finally, an incident involving an unhealthy amount of fireworks finally sends Twilight over the edge, causing her to rant in front of everyone about everything that has gone wrong, including about Princess Celestia, which she overhears. The purple alicorn quickly chases her down, eventually stopping at a cloud where the two have a conversation, ending in the two making amends with each other.
Later the two come up with a plan to save the play. Twilight directed her friends with calming down the crowd. Princess Celestia simply helps off-stage and with props, bringing up the sun itself for a show. In the end, it all goes well.
===Non-Compete Clause===
With Fluttershy winning "Most Popular Teacher" again, Applejack and Rainbow Dash decided to try and impress their students in hopes of getting that award. Conveniently, Twilight is organizing a teamwork field trip, prompting the two ponies to volunteer in hopes of earning an award. Knowing their past, the purple alicorn requests that the two try to get along without turning this into a competition...
The moment Twilight left, it turned into a competition. Coming back after a horrifying session of river canoe for the students, the purple alicorn was mortified of their state. She quickly pulled Applejack and Rainbow Dash to the side in order to chastise them for ignoring her advice. The two pretend to apologize before asking Twilight for a second chance which she begrudgingly agrees though this time, she's the one choosing the activity which in this case, is a nature walk.
As expected, this all goes horribly wrong, ending with the students having to save Applejack and Rainbow Dash who are trapped near the ravine's river where hostile fish are jumping about.
In the end, the group arrive at the castle where Twilight decided to review their progress. Oddly enough, the students commend their teachers for teaching what not to do in certain situations before voting for both of them for the "Most Popular Teacher" award. As they leave, the purple alicorn confronts her friends for still being too competitive and while they agree, they still continue to argue, much to Twilight's dismay.
===Molt Down===
At night, Spike’s mysterious affliction worsened as he wakes up to find himself covered in stone scales. Twilight wasn’t worried at this at first and simply advised him to go to Zecora’s hut to pick up some cream despite the baby dragon not wanting to exit the house. When he burned the purple alicorn’s flash card with an accidental burst of fire, the two realized that he should probably avoid going to places where he might cause damages.
Later after finishing with her tasks, Twilight goes to Zecora’s hut to pick up something for Spike’s issues, only to find that she and Rarity have been picked up by a roc. The purple alicorn quickly gives chase, missing out on the baby dragon’s molt which granted him a pair of wings. With these wings, he was able to catch up with her friends and with some help from Twilight, the two take down the roc and save the zebra and white unicorn.
The group were overjoyed with this new development though Spike is worried about Smolder’s previous explanation on the molting process which includes getting kicked out of the home due to reaching proper maturity. Twilight explained that he didn’t have to abide with dragon traditions as he lived with ponies anyway. In the end, the baby dragon continued living with his family and helped Rarity out with the dress she wanted to make in the beginning. 
===Marks for Efforts===
The Cutie Mark Crusaders watch the fun classes unfold in the School of Friendship, hoping that they too can study there. Twilight later notices them and decided to take them in for a conversation. Knowing their reputation for helping others with friendship issues, the purple alicorn refused to let them study there as they already know all the necessary things about friendship.
Determined to get into the school, the Cutie Mark Crusaders attempt to prove that they need friendship classes with various actions, all ending with failure. After sulking for a bit, they meet a pegasus filly from the school named Cozy Glow who was having some issues with a friendship test, prompting the fillies to teach her everything they knew.
Despite all this, Cozy Glow failed the test and worse still, decided to blame the Cutie Mark Crusaders for her failure which Twilight buys, prompting her to ban them from the school and prohibit any contact with the students. Thankfully, the pink filly realized her mistake and decided to confess her wrongdoings.
In order to make up for what she’s done, Twilight invited the Cutie Mark Crusaders back to the School of Friendship and removed their punishments before giving them an official graduation letter. And while the fillies and the purple alicorn are glad of this, Cozy Glow got to get away unscathed, a trend in her many schemes to come until the very end…
===The Mean 6===
The Mane Six and Starlight receive a photography session from a disguised Queen Chrysalis who was also plucking strands of their hair for later use. Once done, they leave the "photographer" to go on a camping trip, unaware of the evil plot planned against them. The queen had created evil clones based on the Mane Six which she later unleashes on the originals.
After noticing Fluttershy's disappearance, the Mane Six agree to split up and find them with Twilight conveniently walking in after her evil counterpart was done insulting Pinkie Pie and the yellow pegasus, resulting in the former berating her. Further discourse continues to spread as the Mane Six interact with their evil counterparts until eventually, they come across each other again and just decide to laugh off this incident.
As they try to fix up the camp, they are left unaware of Queen Chrysalis' failed plot, ending in the Mean Six getting turned back into logs.
===The Hearth's Warming Club===
With Hearth's Warming a few days away, the students and teachers of the School of Friendship are excited for the break and time to spend with their families. While most of them have left, an intruder managed to slip in and vandalize the whole room with purple slime before fleeing, leaving Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Spike to figure out what to do.
Noticing that the Young Six had exited late, Twilight realized that it's likely one of them as most of the exits have been locked off. In order to figure out the culprit, she forced them to clean up the mess and threaten to make them all stay at school throughout winter break if the culprit isn't found. Throughout that time, the students would be individually be called in to be interrogated.
After a series of arguments between the Young Six, Gallus ended up confessing to the crime due to him having no family to spend the holiday with. Twilight planned on punishing him, only for his friends to stand up to him which in itself a friendship lesson. In the end, they decided to spend the holidays together... after the place is cleaned up.
===Friendship University===
During a day at work, Twilight received a letter from Star Swirl who is developing as a character after his last meeting with the Mane Six. Wanting to teach him more, the purple alicorn invites him to check out the School of Friendship. Before she could finish a letter, Cozy Glow arrived with mail which included a flier on another friendship school named Friendship University.
Unsure of this new development, Twilight and Rarity arrive at the place, finding it run by the Flim Flam brothers and worse, has been approved by Councillor Neighsay due to it having only ponies as students. The purple alicorn and white unicorn are brought along to see what the school has to offer and to their horror, they find Star Swirl there as a student, trusting the scammer twins as he believed that everyone has a chance to change.
In order to find some information on this place, Twilight sends Rarity in a disguise to try and see what education is like. While that was happening, the purple alicorn snuck into the Flim Flam brothers’ office, only finding curriculum material. Conveniently, the scammer brothers arrive and take a picture of her in their office and blackmail her into letting them be, forcing her to accept.
Meeting up with Rarity, Twilight realized that while the school enrolment itself is free, the worksheets are paid for with an exceptionally expensive price. Following the Flim Flam brothers again, she finds them using the money they got to expand their businesses. Caught in the act, the two use try to blackmail the purple alicorn again though now having seen what they’ve done, she did not care.
This time Rarity and Star Swirl are the ones who conveniently arrive at the scene to see what had unfolded. Under pressure, the Flim Flam brothers are forced to shut down their university and refund what they’ve taken. With that, all current competition to the School of Friendship is no more and they get free advertisement.
===The End in Friend===
During her class on compromise, Twilight finds Starlight bringing in Rainbow Dash and Rarity for examples as the class decided to follow the two around in their day together. However, they are unable to decide on what activity they want to do. This all culminated in their last session which ended in the two ponies getting into a huge argument.
Somehow the two managed to forget 8 seasons they've spent together before deciding to break off their friendship, much to the shock of everyone watching. After failing to help the two rekindle their friendship, Starlight decided to ask Twilight for help. Later, Rainbow Dash and Rarity are conveniently called in to the purple alicorn’s office where she claims to have lost an amulet with disastrous powers.
However, it was all a ruse as after following the clues they’ve found, Rainbow Dash and Rarity arrive at a room where Twilight, Starlight, and their students are hiding at, revealing that it was just a trick all along…
===Yakity-Sax===
After reaping chaos all over Ponyville with her horrible "yovidaphone", Pinkie Pie finds herself confronted by her friends about this, prompting her to discard the instrument, much to her displeasure. Some time later, they find her in a joyless state and all attempts to cheer her up fail with Twilight in particular attempting to set up a "Pinkie Pie Appreciation Day".
However, Pinkie Pie did not show up all day during this made-up event, prompting the Mane Six to check her place. They find that she had moved away to Yakyakistan to listen to some actually good yovidaphone players. Travelling to the region, they find the pink pony drowning her sorrows in a bar with a yak musician playing the yovidaphone competently.
She agreed to go home though her mood was still sour as she now knows what she could have been doing with the instrument. Her friends soon realized that she simply enjoys playing the instrument, even if she's bad at it and decides to encourage her. This action works, causing her color and cheerful personality to return.
Little did they knew what they have unleashed upon the world...
===The Washouts===
After an argument with Scootaloo and her running away, Rainbow Dash went off to look for her, only to bump into Twilight. The purple alicorn advised her friend that you cannot control one's actions and should simply try and be a good role model which worked out in the end. 
===A Rockhoof and a Hard Place===
Due to his destructive methods in unearthing ancient artefacts, Rockhoof was fired from his archaeology job and sent to the School of Friendship to hopefully find something to do. Twilight was ecstatic to have a pillar in her employment and decided to let the viking work as a teacher. This did not go so well as the next time she and Applejack checked up on Rockhoof, they find him wrecking the classroom while telling a story.
Bringing him out, the two explain to Rockhoof that times have changed and property destruction is now frowned upon. Just then he noticed a fire, prompting him to break a fountain and redirect it at the fire, revealing that it was just Smolder and Spike having a fire-breathing contest. Realizing the destruction he’s caused, the viking left in shame and resigns from his job to try and find a new one.
During those efforts, Twilight and Applejack decided to help out without much success, prompting the group to check out how the rest of the pillars are doing. Dishearteningly, his friends seem to be adapting just fine to the modern world. For one last attempt at trying to fit in, he decided to get a job as a navigator. Unfortunately due to him using stars to position the boat, he ends up leading the wrong way.
As it turns out, Rockhoof has been gone for so long that the North star has been replaced and with that, he loses yet another job. With nothing left to do, the viking requests Twilight to turn him to stone as he’d rather save what remains of his pride. The purple alicorn reasonably refused though he was vehement about his request.
Later when Twilight was ready to petrify Rockhoof, she found the viking telling his stories to a crowd of creatures. As it turns out, Yona had managed to convince him to stay around for a bit longer which finally allowed him to find what he was good at, telling stories. With that, the purple alicorn gives him a job as a keeper of tales, allowing him to keep doing what he does best in the modern world.
===Father Knows Beast===
While helping Spike with flying, Twilight noticed him doing rather poorly. Luckily, Smolder was there and quickly figured out the problem with her methods. Taking over the training, the orange dragon was able to get the baby dragon to fly smoothly which got the purple alicorn wondering if being raised by ponies has been a detriment.
Later during their flying session, Smolder and Spike encounter an older dragon named Sludge who was injured in a crash. They bring him to the castle where the Mane Six decide to nurse him back to full health. Once done, he noticed that the baby dragon is an orphan, prompting him to make up a story about being his father and going off to look for him.
Spike buys this despite the lack of evidence and Sludge later bonds with him which he used to manipulate the baby dragon into giving up his items to the older dragon. Thankfully Smolder later realizes the ruse and formulates a plan with Spike. At the end of this, they reveal Sludge to be a fraud who was using the baby dragon to live comfortably. In the end, Spike apologizes to Twilight and realizes his place… again. 
===School Raze===
Due to Twilight being busy with her work, Cozy Glow got Rainbow Dash to cover for chaperoning duties at Cloudsdale. The students are somehow able to walk on the clouds through the use of Starlight's magic... until it fails and they all start plummeting. The winged creatures quickly saved them before reporting to the purple alicorn that magic is disappearing.
After everyone has been informed of this phenomenon, Cozy Glow proceeds to remind everyone of Tirek who is currently still imprisoned. The Mane Six are later called in to Canterlot for a meeting, leaving Starlight to run the school.
In order to investigate the occurrence, the Mane Six and Spike travel to Tartarus, braving the many threats in the way without their magic. Upon arriving, they find the seal on the prison still intact yet they still go in anyway, meeting up with many depowered monsters. The Mane Six find Tirek still in his cage though he is willing to explain his accomplice, that being Cozy Glow.
Realizing the ruse, the Mane Six try to find a way to get out of the prison through the use of the imprisoned monsters. Once all the magic is connected, it is then given to Twilight who uses it to open the door.
In the end, they manage to escape and later confront Cozy Glow after her plans were foiled by the Young Six.
==Season 9==
===The Beginning of the End===
The Mane Six and Spike rush to Canterlot, only to find that they aren't summoned for an emergency but for an announcement. Princess Celestia and Luna are planning on retiring as well as transferring their powers to Twilight in just a few days, seemingly unaware of how anxious she can be. Her friends try their best to calm her down which works. Little did they know of the horrid scheme behind the scenes involving King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow who had gathered up and are preparing something though the former chooses to split and attack himself.
Later he managed to successfully take over Crystal Empire though the Mane Six later arrive and use the Elements of Harmony against him. With King Sombra dispatched, they return the elements, only to be attacked by him, the Tree of Harmony getting destroyed in the process. With that, the dark unicorn claims early victory and runs off to attack the Crystal Empire again.
Before going however, he decides to trap the Mane Six in a cage. Despite this horrid situation, Twilight remained determined and proceeds to dig a hole out of the cage, her friends joining in. Arriving at Ponyville, they find most of their friends and family under King Sombra's mind control while the Everfree Forest is invading. Luckily Star-Swirl arrives to help with the Everfree Forest problem, allowing the Mane Six to go to Canterlot, only to be overwhelmed and forced to retreat.
Meeting up with Discord, they manage to convince him to reluctantly help them with this problem. They later come back to Canterlot with the draconequus quickly fighting off King Sombra though he is later "defeated". Luckily, he got to tell the Mane Six that they have the power of the elements in them all along which was enough for them to activate its magic on their own, once again ending the dark unicorn and all the problems he has caused.
In the end, Twilight is allowed more time to prepare, revealing Discord's "defeat" to be a ruse all along. They are all unaware of the schemes behind the scenes with the remaining villains agreeing to actually work together.
===Sparkle's Seven===
Spike arrived with a message from Shining Armor which Twilight recognized to be a Sibling Supreme competition. The two arrive at Canterlot and meet up with their brother who explains that the challenge involves testing a security system he’s recently set up. Knowing what she needs to deal with, the purple alicorn goes off to meet the rest of the Mane Six.
After some briefing on the issues and what this challenge means to her, Twilight gives each of them specific roles. However, Rarity points out that her plan may be too obvious and decides to brainstorm wacky and unexpected ideas with her friends with the purple alicorn being tasked with doing absolutely nothing.
Out of worry, Twilight stands by the castle which is when Shining Armor shows up with suspicion of her involvement which she denies. Just then, Pinkie Pie crashes the balloon she’s boarding, worrying the purple alicorn greatly. Her panic was completely justified as the rest of the Mane Six were not doing so well in their roles either.
Regrouping with the rest of the Mane Six after this failed operation, they finally decide to go with Twilight's original plan with some encouragement from Spike. Later the purple alicorn got to see her plan succeed, only to be foiled at the last moment as Shining Armor had arrived there first, predicting their ruse.
However as it turns out, Spike had conspired with Princess Luna all along and explains how he was responsible for most of the events in episode. He manages to acquire the crown and in the end, is allowed the title of "Sibling Supreme".
===The Point of No Return===
While cleaning up some of Twilight’s old belongings, Spike finds a library book she never returned. The purple alicorn realized what consequences may befall the librarian who she used to return these books to. With this in-mind, the baby dragon and her quickly rush to the library where to their horror, they find that the librarian has been replaced.
Wanting to find out how much she owed, Twilight tracked down the pony in-charge of overdue returns. This is where she learned that the replaced librarian quit her job after the book the purple alicorn forgot to return was not returned. Such information horrified Twilight even more as her actions led to someone getting fired.
Finding the librarian’s home, Twilight found that she no longer lives there and has been moved to an unspecified retirement home. After lots of work, the purple alicorn and Spike tracked down the librarian to Silver Stable though even then, they find that she has been very busy with various activities.
Eventually finding her, Twilight attempted to fix her mistake which the librarian refused. She explained that after her perfection is ruined, she realized that it did not mean everything and eventually retired to do what she wanted. With that, the purple alicorn learned a lesson and paid her fines, getting to keep the book as it had been replaced. 
===She's All Yak===
In order to include all students, Twilight decided to create the Amity Ball, a remodel of an old pony tradition. This will serve as the driving force of the entire episode. 
===Sweet and Smoky===
In order to visit her brother, Smolder requested a week to go to the dragon lands from Twilight. Being worried about this occasion, she decided to let Fluttershy and Spike accompany her. 
===The Last Crusade===
Twilight joins in alongside the rest of Ponyville's denizens in the Cutie Mark Crusaders' celebration.
===Between Dark and Dawn===
Encountering a giant tree-eating turtle in Sweet Apple Acres, the Mane Six attempt to deal with the creature, only for Princess Celestia and Luna to arrive and successfully deal with a threat for once... Took them 9 seasons to do so. With retirement on their way, they can finally go off and actually do things which includes helping others directly.
Luckily Pinkie Pie manages to convince them to go on a holiday with Twilight agreeing to take over the princess duties which includes a celebration for the swans called the "Royal Swanifying" as well as raising the sun and moon. The latter task is usually performed by a group of professionals though the purple alicorn refuses their help, much to her friends' dismay.
They soon realize how difficult the planning is with Twilight finally relenting. The professionals had been appointed their role as even the princesses are unable to perform some tasks all on their own, which includes this ceremony. In the end, they agree to help and successfully complete the ceremony with the purple alicorn learning how to run a kingdom... and then shortly after, she messes up the most important task of a princess.
The rest of the Mane Six were invited to hear out Pinkie Pie's invitation to Cheese Sandwich's Amusement Factory due to her feeling left out by her friends' achievements. After helping him regain his laughter, the pink pony returns to her friends, realizing that she already had what she wanted all along.
===2, 4, 6, Greaaat===
With buckball’s fame growing, Twilight decided to introduce the sport into the curriculum… and assign Rainbow Dash to the cheer team instead. 
===A Trivial Pursuit===
With another Trivia Trot event on the way, Twilight begins preparing heavily for it, not wanting to break her streak of victories. Arriving at where the event is taking place, the purple alicorn weighs her chances with the many creatures present there who might end up becoming her partner.
Among said creatures is Pinkie Pie who lacks experience with Trivia Trot, much to Twilight's horror. To make things worse, the two end up being partnered together. As expected, the pink pony is terrible at this game and proceeds to mess up to the point that the purple alicorn and her are in last place. Twilight later leaves to meet up with Spike and changes her strategy, using the rules to cause other teams to lose points.
Twilight also decides to fully take over, stopping Pinkie Pie from ever answering any of the questions, much to her dismay. To make things worse, the purple alicorn manages to get her partner disqualified and later brings in Sunburst as a replacement. This was not such a great idea as Sunburst began treating Twilight the same way she did to Pinkie Pie.
Now aware of the severity of her actions, Twilight decides to apologize to Pinkie Pie and bring her in. This meant resetting their score and diminishing their chance at victory though didn’t mind.
===The Summer Sun Setback===
Queen Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, and Tirek are finally getting the hang of working together and decide to try and find instructions on a magic bell they got... in Canterlot, at a restricted section in the library, during Summer Sun Celebration... They have a plan for that and the Mane Six along with Discord are still preparing the celebration. It is however the last Summer Sun Celebration and the pressure is up to make it special.
Twilight remained unaware of her friends’ sabotaged efforts caused by the villains. They desperately attempted to quell the disasters that were occurring in order to not stress her out, knowing full well what happens when she’s stressed out.
Eventually Twilight does figure out these issues though she is able to remain calm and with the help of Princess Celestia and Luna, they fix the issues with the celebration. It is also revealed that this is the last Summer Sun Celebration because they're planning on renaming it as the Festival of Two Sisters... It's been 9 seasons since Luna came back.
===Growing Up is Hard to do===
With Appleloosa County Fair about to begin, the Cutie Mark Crusaders need to find an adult to accompany them with no luck. They later go to the Castle of Friendship, finding Twilight and Fluttershy experimenting on an enchanted flower. Noticing the fillies, they give advice to keep trying on finding an adult to accompany them before leaving to find some extra research material on the flower which turns out, has wish-granting properties which turns the Cutie Mark Crusaders into adults.
Later Twilight and Fluttershy arrive to Appleloosa to try and fine them, only to find the chaos they have caused due to being both accountable and mentally immature. The two quickly evacuate bystanders while the Cutie Mark Crusaders try and find a way to stop the disaster they've caused. In the end, Twilight manages to revert the wish the fillies had made, allowing them to turn back to normal.
===The Ending of the End/The Last Problem===
The Mane Six arrive at Canterlot for Twilight's celebration to assume Princess Celestia and Luna's roles, unaware of the chaos Queen Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, and Tirek have brewed up as well as their new powers. Oddly enough, the purple alicorn was exceptionally calm about this event and decided to wait out her friends in their preparations. They later come back reporting on distrust between the ponies from all over the town.
Discord later arrives with bad news, that he was the one responsible for the release of the villains and has been posing as Grogar all along as well as the fact that the villains have drained him of his powers. Twilight quickly rallies everyone she can think of in an attempt to fight off the invaders.
Cozy Glow in particular arrives to attack them, managing to dispatch Princess Celestia and Luna before struggling against the Mane Six. The other villains later arrive to help her out, managing to force them to send Twilight away in an attempt to find a way to deal with them.
Her friends eventually break out of their imprisonment and after seeing the horrid state of Ponyville, they eventually figure out where she’d be. Their guess was correct and in the Crystal Empire, they find Twilight in a state of panic. Her friends comfort her in this daunting moment, allowing her to regain enough resolve to come up with a plan to defeat the villains. They later arrive at an open plain, the Bewitching Bell in sight.
While Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Spike go off to retrieve the bell, the rest of them provide a distraction. Twilight in particular got to have her rematch against Tirek and this time while lacking the power of the other alicorns, she was able to stalemate the evil centaur once again. Unfortunately, the villains later realize this ruse and an all-out battle ensues.
After a long-winded battle, they are unfortunately defeated and soon the villains prepare one final attack to finish them off. Upon doing so however, a forcefield appears and shields them from the blast which none of the ponies were responsible for. Looking up at the hills above, they got to see who was responsible for this...
An army of creatures has arrived in their steed, the Young Six managing to convince them to cease their animosity and unite against this common threat. The Mane Six are taken to safety as the villains are assaulted from all sides until Twilight suddenly rises to confront them. With a heartfelt speech on the magic of friendship, she alongside her friends, the Young Six, and the Pillars of Equestria rise to the sky and blast the villains with a magic ray which strips them of their magic.
Discord quickly snatches the bell and recovers everyone's magic before deciding alongside the princesses to imprison the villains in stone. The Mane Six decide to recover from that journey with a trip to the donut shop while Canterlot is repaired, optimistic of the future that is to come.
In an unspecified point in the future, Twilight has become a princess of similar stature and power as Princess Celestia while Spike is now her advisor and has bulked up considerably. Now running the School for Gifted Unicorns, the purple alicorn noticed that one of her students is performing poorly in terms of friendship.
Said student is Luster Dawn who conveniently enters after this was explained. Hearing her viewpoints of friendship, Twilight decided to explain her last few days in Ponyville and the subsequent coronation which will allow her to rule over Equestria.
Due to her rule, Twilight is moved over to Canterlot and forced to leave everything behind... including her friends. They were of very supportive at first and were quite busy which was a distressing situation in this stressful moment. The purple alicorn eventually breaks down from all the pressure, her friends finally revealing that they all felt the same way. She was glad of this development though due to various mishaps, the coronation event went horribly wrong.
Back at the present, Luster Dawn believes that this disaster is what drove her and her friends apart though that is not the case. The rest of the Mane Six soon arrive, having grown up or dealing with new jobs though they still gather up once a moon to keep in touch. As it turns out, the friends were not at all worried about the disaster and Starlight even gives the purple alicorn a book of memories in order to commemorate her times with her friends who were later hired to establish a Council of Friendship.
After a musical montage showing the future, Luster Dawn is sent to Ponyville as the Mane Six watch on, satisfied of this new era...
