Sweetie Belle, alone and dejected, comes across The Great and Powerful Trixie, who was ostracized for her prior misdeeds involving the Ursa Minor. Trixie becomes Sweetie Belle's tutor, giving Sweetie (and perhaps herself as well) both the guidance and companionship she needs.

This is a S1 fic. Events take place before 'The Return of Harmony, pt 1'.
Writing for this fic began before Season 2, so events do not match canon storylines.

This fic was featured on Equestria Daily on Oct 18th, 2011

After her students release the spirit of Discord on an official field trip, Cheerilee finds herself out of a job. With no opportunities in Ponyville, the schoolmare takes a job offer in the inner city area of Canterlot's old mining town. Can even she overcome the insanities of her colleagues and apathy of her students in time to pass her next annual review? And who is the mysterious backwards-talking filly following Cheerilee around? Luna's School for Disadvantaged Youngsters will never be the same!

This story will chronicle Ditzy's growth from her beginnings in Fillydelphia growing up with her mom, to eventually moving to PonyVille and becoming the iconic character we know today. Ditzy wasn't always as clumsy as she is, this story tells us how she came to be along with a few other surprises as well

This is my first fan fic so please don't be too critical, the intro isn't very good and I don't know if I can help that, just keep reading until the second chapter and I guarantee you will find it more enjoyable :)

100% Ditzy for fans of the wonky eyed pony

Ship Fluttershy with her shadow...

Fluttershy has just received a bouquet of flowers from none other than her shadow. Or so she thinks. Twilight Sparkle, always the skeptical pony, heads out to investigate and eventually all her friends get involved with miscellaneous schemes of finding who the mysterious sender is. And things were already busy enough with Nightmare Night only a few nights away.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Don't expect updates, seriously. At the rate I'm going (which is a chapter a year...), this story will be done after FIM ceases to be a thing (hopefully a looong time away).

For your information, this whole idea sprung on that Dragonshy scene in which Fluttershy hits dangerous peaks of adorability. Just so you know.

Currently still being made, just really want some feedback since I'm new at this. Constructive, deconstructive or just instructive critisism appreciated. Of course, deconstructive critisism might hurt my feelings, but don't let that stop you.

Edit:So after months [And I mean MONTHS] of story edits and overhauls, I might actually finally get to the next chapter. In the next few months... Wish me luck. And I love you, PonyChan Training Grounds!!! Despite you making me work so hard D:
Edit 2: 28/01/2013: I"m working on it, okay?
Edit 3: 16/01/2014: Food has run out. We've taken to feeding ourselves sweaty socks. We pretend we're koalas, but it doesn't seem to help. Oh, and new chapter, finally.

[Drama]
This is the story of Trixie's rise to power after her humiliation at the hooves of twilight.

Major kudos to my awesome proofreader for the first two chapters, Cowmaster627.

Minor Characters: Applejack, Luna, Rainbow Dash

On the night of his birthday, Spike's sad musings are interrupted by Twilight, who decides visiting everypony the next day might cheer him up. Now with some editing!

A group of ponies are approached by a traveler, a newcomer, and brought into a game larger than life with costs they only begin to understand as each player takes her turn... and the whole thing takes a turn for the worst: Equestria must fight for its survival amidst the desperation of other worlds not unlike their own.

After being brutally rejected by Rainbow Dash once again, Scootaloo is left distraught. that is until a kinder pegasus comes into her life and shows her some compassion.
