The sequel to [[Fanfic/PartingWords]].

The story begins at the start of the season 3 finale and contains a second divergence from canon. Instead of only Twilight ascending, all of the Mane six become Alicorns. Now Celestia and Luna have a new job for the Mane 6: To move the Great Plan forward, they must go out and track down all the other alicorns that they believe are manifesting all over Equestria.

By the way, Luna thinks it might be a good idea if they focused first on finding an alicorn stallion or two...
