Mornings aren't fun for the average pony, but when there's a snowstorm in the way of your job, it's just downright bad. Couple that with having to deal with your annoying little sister, and you've got a taste of Celestia's morning.

Most ponies assume that something is wrong with Ditzy Do's eyes. Theories range from a head injury to a genetic disorder to muscle damage behind her eye. The crueler folk suggest she's just retarded. Nicer ponies say it's just a party trick she never got tired of.

They're all wrong. They're all very, very wrong.

I discovered the truth one day in conversation with her. One eye would always look at me, and the other would wander. At least, I thought it was wandering. So while we were talking, I followed it. Goddess in heaven I wish I had not. Never follow the other eye. Ever. Because Ditzy Do's eyes work fine.

She's just watching something. That... thing that's always in the corner of our eyes. And if she looks at you with both eyes?

Goddess save you.

Welcome to the new Equestria, Twilight Sparkle. See your friends at each other's throats? You have to choose between them now, to stop the heartache of war with decisive victory. For the nation lies bleeding, its harmony shattered into a million pieces. Black and white and right and wrong have blurred together.

You must choose wisely, or all shall die.

Having committed one of the greatest crimes in Equestrian history Twilight finds herself exiled from her home. None of her close friends side with her during her hearing and she is curious as to why. At the same time she is presented with options she never had in Equestria and a chance at a life more on her own terms than playing nice with nobles or simply being a librarian first and a princess second. Which priority will prevail or can she achieve both?

Dear Diary,
When I was just a filly in school I had a crush on another filly.
It went away a few weeks later, but recently that crush has come back
full force, I think I may be in love.
Hopefully I can find out what these feeling mean and if I really am in love.

It has been ten years since Luna was reformed, Equestria has since grown to be a thriving nation filled with artistic wonders. Yet, Luna’s age and experiences make it difficult to take intrest in such repetitive overdone activities. She has seen the latest in Modern Art, watched hundreds of movies and plays, and listened to enough mainstream music to drive one insane. She seeks some activity or hobby which would capture her passion, something new, something exciting, something powerful!

After searching, deep within herself and amongst Equestria, her choice was clear; metal.

So Luna dons her custom Ibanez electric guitar and embarks on an epic quest to be the greatest (and possibly only) metal musician in all of Equestria! With the help of four others, she will conquer the music scene through melodies never heard before, riffs that were never even thought of, and lyrics that would make Discord's eyes bug out!

This is a fun story I have been meaning to try, on the side. It will contain linked youtube videos for the music since lyrics are obviously restricted. You can find all the music here at my youtube channel. The videos will be added as Luna and her band plays them.

The idea for this is credited to Eagle (aka Callsign Eagle) and so is the pre-reading of this fic.

Editing is done by who is now being dubbed my lifetime editor, AuthorGenesis to which I am more than very thankful.

Luna is an incredibly awkward pony. Shouting while indoors, using archaic language, conjuring storm clouds out of thin air... It isn't that the earnest mare doesn't want to make friends, it's that she's unfortunately bad at it. She's going to need a bit of help if she hopes to make any strides in becoming more social.

Fluttershy, on the other end of the spectrum, thinks life is pretty swell. She has her animals, her five best friends, and a wonderful lifestyle. She doesn't think she could be any happier.

However, when Twilight decides to take a hoof in Luna's development and puts into action a plan to get the lonely alicorn some friends, Luna learns how happy a pony can truly be, and Fluttershy discovers that maybe something is missing from her life after all.

With a foreword from Princess Celestia

Luna is trying to sleep but is pranked by Philimena which enlightens her to the idea that if she had a pet then maybe night duties would not be so lonely for her. Having read the friendship reports she decided to go to Fluttershy for help. At first this is unsuccessful but after a few meetings there is sightings of a strange creature in Ponyville that's causing some mild havoc. Fluttershy and Luna decide to go and investigate, leading to some interesting truths and more than one new friend for Luna.

Current: "Beginning a New Chapter" (TwiPie).

Synopsis: Pinkie Pie was not a pony who overlooked things. Sometimes Pinkie got a little too excited or a little too distracted by balloons or music or high-intensity explosives, but she didn't forget things. She didn't overlook things.

Twilight Sparkle is at the castle library again doing her normal research. As she finishes her studies for the day, a book with a unique title catches her eye. What will she find in this book, and what will happen after she's read it? Read and find out.
