What would happen if Spike was born earlier than in the show and was raised by dragons instead of ponies? What if his teacher told him to come with him to meet with Celestia and the recently returned Luna. How will the princesses and Elements of Harmony handle a blunt, sarcastic, and strong young dragon. And how would this affect a certain shy Pegasus who is afraid of dragons.

Dash the Stampede was the legendary outlaw known for destroying any city she visited. Supposedly she is 12 feet tall, master of the elements, a demon straight from hell, a gunmare who has never missed a shot, and wearing an outfit that is one of a kind. And with a reward of 60 billion double bits on her head, and an ego just as big, everyone wants to find her and turn her in. It has been 12 years since she was last seen, and the reward was never claimed, and she has been long forgotten. But in the tiny oasis town of Ponyville, there lives a pegasus who remembers the tale. And when a group of 100 outlaws arrive in the tiny town, wanting the land for its high value, they want to take everything. So when everyone save a rainbow haired pegasus is willing to surrender to these outlaws, will the long lost outlaw come out of retirement for the good of her town and her friends? Or will her past come back to haunt her?

Wow, Fluttershy sure looks rough. Like, really rough. She says that she's just been up late since she joined a band. At least, that's what she's told her friends. Twilight suspects otherwise. After all, Fluttershy's much too gentle and shy a pony to have joined a band. Clearly something else is up.

Everypony tells Twilight she's worrying over nothing. That is, until Fluttershy is seen in the company of strange ponies. And going around town in a cloak. And showing up at strange places!

Fluttershy? Is everything okay?

The graffiti did not bother her. The art of vandalism was, in some form or another, as old as civilization itself. The content, on the other hoof, was an entirely different issue. “Princest Is Wincest,” it said. Bad grammar and spelling were one thing, but this was an attack on the Equestrian language.

Luna frowned. She would have to ask Celestia about this at the first opportunity. Perhaps there were spare funds for a literacy program. If nothing else, Tia might be able to explain what exactly the phrase meant.

When Luna becomes the unwitting test subject of an ancient spell she discovered, she gets more than she bargained for.

Now a male alicorn named Lucian, he is forced to wait for several months before he can go back to being the mare he once was. With the help of Twilight Sparkle, however, he realizes that his accidental transformation is not the curse he had believed it to be. Thanks to his new identity, he is able to move into Ponyville without being recognized, and gets to make friends for the first time in centuries, learning many important lessons along the way.

At the same time, however, Lucian must deal with his own long-forgotten personal demons; what can he do when his past begins to catch up to him? Can he protect those closest to him? And more importantly, can he even protect himself?

The answers, perhaps, may lie with his sister's greatest pupil... who may come to be far more than just a friend to him.

Note to readers: This story takes place between season 2 and season 3. Therefore, inconsistencies with season 3 canon may ocasionally occur. Consider it an "Alternate season 3," if you wish.

Twilight Sparkle is the main agent to the great Celestia, leader of the Solar Flares, a gang that controls Canterlot. Celestia has sent her most trusted agent to the gang filled city of Ponyville Row to spread her rule. How will Twilight gather enough forces to make a new gang and take over Ponyville Row, and will she be able to do it if she is unwilling to make friends with her new gang members?

During Cheerilee’s centuries of vampiric service to Princess Luna, she has always kept to herself. Luna knows that her faithful agent is a loner, so on Hearts and Hooves Day, without a special somepony of her own, Cheerilee is picked to go on assignment to a town stricken by love sickness. There, Cheerilee realizes what she has been missing for so many years. This could be her only shot at love and there’s no telling how much blood she’ll spill to hold onto it.
