ANNOUNCEMENT:

So, Candlelight is going to leave for her journey the day after the winter ball (‘cuz I don’t wanna leave Em waiting)

Everything before then will be stuff/development/preparation that’s happening in the week before she leaves. (So, she still has 5 days left in Ponyville, but it’ll be like a month in real time)

Also, have a picture of Moon Beam. She’ll be a part of the story too, but not until much later.
