Realising the rest of her friends are selfishly aging without her, Twilight takes special measures to make sure this never happens again.

Written for the 1000 words contest. I don't really have much else to say, just... 'enjoy'.

And here's a reading by a movie fan by the name of Zachary for those who can't be bothered to take on the gargantuan task of physically reading a thousand words. I feel your pain. Linkie

It's a perfect day in the life of Twilight Sparkle. Ponyville's chief librarian has everything she wants: her books, her studies, a faithful dragon assistant, and the opportunity to go visit Sugarcube Corner on a beautiful afternoon, hanging out with the best friends that a young unicorn could ever ask for.

And yet, in spite of all this, Twilight has the distinct feeling that something is missing...

The Legion Of Doom are finally free from the stultifying confines of their stone prison! There's just one thing stopping them from resuming their terrifying campaign of terror though, and it's a pretty major one...

Featured from 25-27 May '25. Zinger.

You'd think that being trapped in stone would mean that, if nothing else, I could get some peace and quiet. Unfortunately, it seems that Celestia has other ideas.

She has appointed these ponies... these 'Keepers', as she calls them, to keep me entertained during my incarceration.

Honestly? I'd prefer the boredom.

“You'll never amount to anything."

“It's all a waste of time."

“You're nothing.”

The monster's words course through Rarity's veins like poison, but were they true? As the two of them face off in her room, she's powerless to stop the resulting despair from taking hold of her heart. With her will to fight slipping, Rarity knows that this isn't a fight she can win on her own.

Based on a story idea someone suggested

Queen Novo banishes Twilight and her friends to the deepest reaches of the ocean. In this dark and desolate place of water and silence, giving in to one's animal instincts seems like the obvious course of action.

Thus Spike awakens, trapped and alone in an unfamiliar place. But as he quickly learns, it's a lot worse than that.
