Twilight Sparkle, Ponyville's resident librarian and princess, buys a personal computer. The world never knew what hit it.

Samantha Summers didn't want to move from Oregon to go to some crumbling apartment in New York, not because of her mom or her newly attained position at Crystal Empire HQ. It was hard enough trying to figure out why she could generate light energy from her palms; completely changing her lifestyle to fit the standards of another school was another burden. The only interesting thing about it was the abundance of "abnormal people" that originated in New York, and they had all pretty much disappeared. Just a guy in a red and blue suit and occasionally Iron man.

Peter Parker didn't want to wait for Mr.Stark to call him up for another mission, or wait for the action to come to him for that matter. He'd quit every school-related group just to make room for his side-life, and he got nothing in return for it. Lots of people at school got suspicious or cynical of him, and his school life began a downward spiral towards the realm of boring. The new girl at school wasnt even enough to interest him...until he learned the reason behind the gloves she wore all the time.

Despite her reluctance to learn how her powers work, Peter knows an opportunity to have a sidekick when he sees one. He even offers to train her in the ways of crime fighting and selflessly gave her the incredibly awesome name of Firefly! Maybe if he could prove his ability as a leader, Mr.Stark would bring him along on missions more often! They could even be a cool, buddy cop duo-thing, if she trains hard enough!

What could go wrong?

Scootaloo has great friends and a wonderful adoptive older sister, but her actual family life is severely troubled. So troubled in fact, that when King Sombra returns to act as her new father, it somehow isn't the worst thing in the world. How will life change for Scootaloo, Sombra, and everypony else?

There's always some air of mystery and uncertainty when the magical map in Twilight's castle activates, but after a long period of dormancy it summons Twilight with a most perplexing image: two cutie marks as usual, but both are hers, and they alternately orbit over Ponyville and float over the edge of the map entirely. To find the answer to what the Map is asking of her, Twilight turns not just to her student, Starlight Glimmer but must also travel to the parallel dimension of Canterlot High to consult with her alternate self and Sunset Shimmer.
The combined brainpower of three magic savants and one scientist should be enough to puzzle out the Map's intentions, but none of them can guess where the path will lead them.

After tiring of Twilight's hostile attitude, Discord decides to "help" the Elements of Harmony by bringing in an alternate version of each of them. These duplicates from various worlds aren't told anything about each other, which is good. The last thing Equestria needs is these monsters working together.

Applejack from Bad Apples by... Bisque? It's hard to find an evil Applejack story.

Five hundred years. One hundred and eighty-two thousand, six hundred and twenty days. Almost as many cutie marks.

Life certainly knows how to dull any sort of excitement into dust, especially when it grinds on forever and ever. Just ask the Cutie Mark Crusaders. They know exactly what that's like.

Rainbow has a secret. Weather patrol is simple busy work to keep most ponies thinking she's occupied, Ponyville but a playground she moonlights while doing her real work in Canterlot and her voice a long time practised front to hide a most ear-catching accent. Behind the swagger is almost literally twice the mare; one the would-be Wonderbolt Ponyville knows and loves and the other an already more than successful celebrity many in Equestria's fashion world would willingly worship the ground she walks on. Today however she comes clean to the one friend she feels she can trust with her double life, prepared to face the price in questions she will have to pay. For tonight she tells Twilight Sparkle she is the one and only Photo Finish.

Changelings and ponies had always been natural enemies of each other, especially with the crystal ponies when they were around. Why wouldn't they be? Changelings were like parasites, feeding off the love that ponies gave off and driving them to illness.

However, Changelings had begun to decline. What started out with as seven hives have diminished down into three, all of which had gone into hiding so well that most ponies didn't know what changelings even were. Even Celestia had not seen one for quite a while, a long feat for an immortal pony.

Until she found a nymph. A new Changeling Queen.

Unable to find it within herself to abandon the changeling, Celestia ends up taking the nymph back to Canterlot under guise as Twilight Sparkle. The plan was simple; find the hive that Twilight belonged to and return her back to be raised with her race.

Of course, despite everything she learned through her long life, she had forgotten that things were never that simple.

For starters, she did not anticipate herself to grow fond of Twilight as time began to pass, or to beam in happiness when Twilight began to refer to her as mom.

Many Many Thanks to my Pre-Readers: Rewrite and Doctor Disco (Welcome to the Team Doctor!)

It’s Spike’s birthday and everypony in town is celebrating it with him. Everypony, except Royal Riff. Why isn’t he at the party with all of his friends? Is something bothering him?

This story is inspired by this song, which was inspired by this story.

This story has been a long time in the making. I would like to thank everyone who helped me with it, especially the proof-readers who helped me out more than they know. I would especially like to thank my friend FlashKenshin77 for his help with a certain pony's dialogue.
