The first story in the "Signing off, Rainbow Dash" series.

Rainbow Dash is a fighter, but she find herself bowing down to cancer. Although her life is slipping out of her hooves, her friends won't let her go just yet.

"Oh come on, Applejack! Just one trip around the clouds! One!"

It's an invitation that Applejack has heard countless times. However, no matter how often Rainbow Dash bugs her to experience an air ride, the farm filly flat out refuses.

Then one afternoon, on a day when Applejack is strangely quiet and distant, she suddenly agrees to Rainbow Dash's persistent request. The pegasus happily oblidges, not knowing what has truly motivated Applejack to give in, nor the fact that--more than anything--Applejack could really use a good friend right about now.

That wacky Spirit of Chaos is at it again...
Except, there's no ponies in the audience.
There's nothing, really. Just an empty, post-apocalyptic expanse.
Nothing, and some ants.
Inspired by WrathOfGod519 and "Alone" - Downface.

Also now the excuse/subject for an RCL Interview.

Twilight is scared. She doesn't know why. And that is the scariest part of all.

Waking up in an alternate universe in which you are a supervillain can be hard.

Finding out your friends are rebels trying to kill or overthrow you isn't very easy to deal with either.

But trying to solve the situation? That's a real horn cracker.

WELCOME TO HUMAN VS! THE ONLY REALITY GAME SHOW THAT PITS ONE FEEBLE HUMAN AGAINST THE MANY DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF EQUESTRIA!!

Austin, a mere human with average statistics, but has a huge sense of humour and a very wide range of skills that help him survive a variety of situations. But how will he put up against Equestria? Many different Equestrias, that is!

He will be set in a variety of horrific situations: The Rainbow Factory, Pinkamena's Bakery, Magic Kindergarden...

But Austin's sense of humour is bigger than his survival instinct, so he's more likely to screw with everything rather than survive...

Will he escape the evil clutches of some of the worst Equestria has to offer? Or will he just mess with their stuff so much that they lose their minds?....Again.

Read on and find out!

Sometimes, all we need are a few stats to shed some light on a subject.

All of Equestria is united in celebration for the return of their beloved Princess Nightmare Moon. But when Celestia and everypony else recieve her she's skeletally starved, filthy, and very nearly dead. Meanwhile, while everypony's eye is turned, a lusty Blueblood pursues Twilight Sparkle, intent on adding her bloodline to his own so his family might step closer to godhood. (Alternate Universe, there never was a Princess Luna)

"I wanna play Grossbucket."

"What's that?"

Pinkie gasped."You have never even played Grossbucket! Never fear, aunt Pinkie is here to teach you..."

(Disclaimer: I remember some parts of the fandom (and some movies...) seemed to interpret even the older protagonists (such as the "mane six") as being children/teenagers. Just because I can, I hereby declare for the purpose of this fanfic, and really all of my other fics, that no creature in this story is the equivalent of a human "minor" unless they are unambiguously described that way.)

There has always been a little voice in Twilight Sparkle's head, whispering dark musings to her. And until her brother's wedding, she has managed to push those bitter thoughts away and focus on the good. She forgives and forgets and holds onto hope.

But when her friends turn their backs on her and her brother cuts her from his life, Twilight finds herself alone, with only the little voice to comfort her.

And it is through anger and hate that has been repressed for so long that Twilight finds the power to rise up. Harmony and Friendship have only brought her pain and suffering. It is time for her to embrace her dark side. No longer will she worry about what others think. Twilight is going to live her life how SHE chooses: without friends, without family, without love and without harmony. She is going to cut loose, have fun, and screw what others think.

For her friends and family, it will soon become apparent that if they don't find a way to mend the damage they've done to the lavender mare...Twilight Sparkle might be lost to them forever.
