While listening to a new song, Twilight hears a word that she's never heard before. Learning that the word has no meaning, Twilight takes matters into her own hooves.

Something terrible has happened to you.

Now with reading
And with dramatic radioplay

There are rumours in Equestria of a long-forgotten civilization, hidden deep within the wild jungle known as Everfree: A once great city, now in ruins, built into the mountain side high above the ground. On the edge of the jungle is a cave, and inside that cave sleeps a dragon. It's said he's been there for tens of thousands of years, and that he is the only being that remains of the ancient civilization. Sometimes, if awoken from his eternal slumber, he will share with you his story.

After hearing his tale, two ponies braved the mighty Everfree to find the truth. What hides deep within the overgrown depths is something even the dragon couldn't have imagined.

On her six month anniversary of becoming a princess, Celestia decides to send Twilight a book as a present. Being her curious self, Twilight opens the book and reads it almost immediately after receiving it. But not long after starting the first chapter, she discovers a word she hasn't seen before. The only problem is that this particular word isn't in the dictionary. Every time she says this particular word, a loud bleep is heard and a large black box appears over the pony's mouth. She runs to her friends to solve this mystery, and censorship ensues. She also goes a little insane. Okay, a LOT insane.

Whoa... a thousand views? A hundred likes? That's awesome! Thank you guys so much for all the positive feedback (and the criticism, I appreciate that too!)

Rated teen for language. Even if it is censored.

Rainbow Dash asks Twilight a question one early morning, claiming that she's asking for a friend. In the process she unknowingly sets Twilight out on a journey to find out who asked the question originally. With nothing but a single question to go on, Twilight tries to track down a mare that may not even exist.

Written for Week 1 of my Twidash August Challenge.

Rainbow Dash has always been a girl. Well, sort of. She was born a girl, but doesn't really feel like she's one. And after a late night phone call with Pinkie, she discovers that she really just might not be one. But some people are more accepting of that fact than others....

Prequel to The Witching Hour

1500 years ago, a kirin named Storm Vine was the unofficial leader of the kirins. Along with her husband Tempest Flame and most of the others, she fought to protect Equestria from any dangers that arose as knights of the realm. When she wasn't doing that, she was spending time with her adopted daughter and friends, which included the archmages of the Sun and Moon, her elder brother, and a delightful, if somewhat eccentric, trickster.

But, this is not the story of her daily life or her exploits as a knight. This is the story of how it all ended. How one of their closest friends turned against them. How they fought against and eventually defeated him. And how his fall brought them down with him.

This is the story of how the kirins disappeared from Equestria.

When Rainbow Dash suddenly proclaims her love and adoration for a certain 'Miss Sparkle' and tells her friends the story of how the unicorn 'fixed' her, the girls are hesitant to take the situation at face value. However, even they can't deny it when the facts begin to build into a case against Twilight. Twilight claims innocence but her words sound like hollow excuses and obvious lies. The four of them are left wondering if Twilight Sparkle is truly the hero she once was or if she has finally allowed her true nature to show: the nature of a heartless psychopath.

[ Spoilers in the comments... So many spoilers... ]

[ 'Miss Sparkle' occurs a few months before Twilight's ascension, early in the spring of Twilight's second year in Ponyville. According to my version of the chronological timeline, the only episodes of the first three seasons that have yet to take place are (in chronological order) "Wonderbolts Academy", "Just for Sidekicks", "Games Ponies Play", "Spike At Your Service", "Keep Calm and Flutter On" and "Magical Mystery Cure". ]

[ 'Miss Sparkle' placed first in (Incoming spoiler of story-ruining proportions!) Blundy's TwiDash Framed Challenge! Thank you all so much for your support! ]

[ To top it off, Twilight's Library found it worthy of being added to their shelves. I'm at a loss for words as I write this, and I probably will be when you read this too. Just... Thank you. Thank you all so much. ]

Twilight Sparkle had everything she wanted and then it exploded.

That was last week. And sure, she got a swank new castle out of it, but that's poor consolation. Coping with what she's lost - and gained - isn't as easy as it sounds. It's a good thing she doesn't have to deal with this on her own.
