This story is a sequel to Sunset Shimmer's Unpleasant Discovery

Twilight Sparkle returns to the human world intending to take a short vacation from her princessly duties, and to catch up with her non-Equestrian friends. One sleepover at Pinkie Pie’s house later, Twilight comes to learn something fascinating—and horrifying—about her very human body.

This story now has a spiritual prequel: Sunset Shimmer's Unpleasant Discovery, by Bootsy Slickmane, rated [mature]. While mine pokes fun at the characters, his offers the more serious take.

Preread by Stiggerzz and Majin Syeekoh.

Rated Teen for sexual references.

Princess Twilight has found a way to summon Daring Do from the pages of one of her own books! This seems like a wonderful thing, but there's something wrong. Daring has opinions. She's thinking independently. She's self aware, and she doesn't want to disappear.

Daring Do is alive. That wasn't supposed to happen, and it complicates things. As Twilight heads off to engage her royal peers in an ethical debate over this issue, Daring is left to her own devices, wondering whether she'll even be allowed to live.

Fluttershy has few friends in the town of Ponyville. Her natural shyness, combined with the fact that most pegasi live in Cloudsdale, leaves her with few ponies to talk to. As such, after she rescues a very old and very ill stray dog she names "Patches," she finds that she finally has a friend - a stinky, perpetually ill one needing constant care and attention. When the inevitable happens, she must learn to live with loss - especially as she goes forward, continuing to love and care for the animals of Ponyville.

When Twilight Sparkle slipped beneath the covers last night, everything had been fine. She had friends whom she loved, a teacher she adored, and a bright future ahead of her. But when she woke up, her blankets and quilts had been replaced by hospital gowns and padded restraints.

Everything is wrong and nothing makes sense; even her friends have changed. The doctors keep telling her that she is sick, that none of it was real and that it was all in her head. Yet she remembers a life far beyond the hospital walls. She couldn't have made it all up on her own. They must be lying… right?

Now, the friendships of the Mane 6 are put on thin ice, and more lives may be on the line if this doesn't come to an end. Will the Mane 6 live to love another day, or will the colors of insanity blot out the grey? Only time will tell.

Scootaloo has done it, she might of lost her sister, all because she broke the last thing Dash's mother gave her, before she died.

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash go through some tough times as young fillies in flight school. Contains bullying, tragedy, sadness, friendship and most importantly, love.

Fluttershy hated that she was shy. She was always bullied when she was a filly for being so. Rainbowdash usually had her back but that didn't help all the time. Fluttershy knew something was wrong in her mind, that something dark and horrifying was waiting for her to snap. She tries to live a normal life, but how much longer can she keep it up?

Fluttershy has been in a depressive state and hasn't been seen for the past few days. When a tramatic event occurs it will take all the friendship and comfort Twilight and her friends can muster to save Fluttershy from becoming an empty shell, or worse....
