There are some things that time cannot heal, some wounds that life won't let us forget. These are the scars that are bare for the world to see, and they are reminders that no matter how happy we once were, we are no longer. But still Rainbow Dash takes the trips that festers the wounds and opens the scars, because no matter how awful she feels, forgetting would be worse.

This story is a sequel to Rainbow Factory

Cloudsdale Weather Corporation has been running without incident for over twenty years. That is, until two foals manage to avoid being processed and find themselves in the haunted bowels of the massive facility. Can they make it out of the abandoned factory with their sanity intact? Will they uncover the secrets even a company as dark as the CWC is ashamed to keep? And what of the workers who help ensure that, in the end, not a single soul gets through...

Stoic. Calm. Unflappable. And above all, Professional. These are attributes that the pianist Frederic Horseshoepin likes to pride himself on.

But sometimes it's difficult to stay professional. Frederic finds it difficult to maintain a veneer of stoicism when he has to deal with his own feelings. What can he do when he's in love with a mare that he cannot hope to have?

It's not quite as easy for Fluttershy as it used to be, being the only animal caretaker in Ponyville. She still tries to make time to visit her friends and go into town to talk to everypony, but it just seems like she just doesn't see them as much as she used to. Maybe only once a month if not less than that. Her friends are still there for her and care for her even with her unusual new appetite. Yes indeed, things have been going a little glum for the formerly-living Element of Kindness. Fortunately, since she has the love of your friends and the magic of their Friendship, nothing could make her truly unhappy, even if she is a Zombie. (Warning: Set Phasers to D'aww)

One night, everypony went to sleep. They were Earth Ponies, Pegasi and Unicorns.

When they woke up, they were not.

Shenanigans ensued.

Dear Princess Celestia,

I'm sorry I haven't written in a while. Things seem to be falling through the cracks lately. Spike thinks I should go see the doctor, but...

Fluttershy Peace Corps committee is interviewing the new, potentional members of the organization.

Yet nothing is as easy as it sounds as the most peculiar ponies decide that they want to join in.

Being their leader, Fluttershy has to deal with many awkward situations to get through the day.

This story is being put back up for archiving purposes. It was once featured, thrice rewritten, and abandoned. I don't even remember what was original draft and what was rewrite. I just think it'd be a shame to leave it.

I've also added some of the "in progress" rewrites that were planned but never published/completed.

Maybe one day I'll complete this.

Train wrecks and stereotypes. The city of Manehattan remains divided, even after the Elements of Harmony brought the world back together. Ponies of all sorts squander the resources and scraps left to them, trapped far from the beautiful light above; unwanted and sickeningly poor. Streets are cramped and flooded whilst chemical mists linger throughout. This city wasn't designed for them, it is merely the knife-edge of a crumbling empire. Caught in a train hijacking gone wrong, and on the wrong side of the law, Awry finds himself in a delicate balance of power.

The question is simple. All in... or fold?
