Nine humans. Nine Mares. Normal Lives. That's all about to change!

This has nothing to do with Ponyfall. Please, don't confuse our story with that. This is just something we're doing for fun.

This is a collaboration between nine authors:
Marcus: Sartarus
Isaac: Inoeitall
Doug: Gyrofest96
Kasper: Glassed
Coal: Coal Buck
Ryan: RaiderRy4n
Benjamin: The Producer
Camron: Frostbite

There was only one explanation. For all of it. All of the strange, erratic behavior. Her irrational fear of the sun. Her nocturnal habits of locking herself in in the dark and closing all the blinds. Wearing her sunglasses everywhere, even inside! It was time to invest in some silver, garlic, and a wooden stake.

When Rainbow Dash realizes she's late for a sleepover at Twilight's, she has no idea what's in store for her that night. What ensues is a trial of emotions as everypony tells stories about their foalhoods and about their parents. What they have to reveal will change how their friends perceive them and how they perceive their own lots in life.

What if there was another side to Rarity's cutie mark story? One that featured a special pony who inspired her to become who she is today? This is the story of their bond, their love, their last days together.

I... Don't know where to begin. She was... Well... Just amazing. I guess you'll have to read my notes on the matter... How perfect she was. I loved her. To the ends of the universe. I hope you all realize that, too.

Rated T for mention of 'euphoria'.

Twilight always knew AJ was a strong pony- she just never realized her strength was far more than physical.

Six stories, all about finding love. Read as all the mane six go through the magic of relationships! Most of the stories will be from the perspective of each ponies respective love interests. Everypony needs a special somepony. This is the first time I've ever attempted writing so bear with me.

EDIT: I decided to release the stories separately, be on the lookout for updates in the future, under the tag L.I.P.

Twilight asks Big MacIntosh to read to the Cutie Mark Crusaders while she runs an errand. He's not much of a reader, but he just can't say nope to Twilight.

My name is Vinyl Scratch. I’ve got a bad habit. And it isn’t something I can control. I will put up a bold front, and verbally abuse people for no reason. I know not when or why this developed... Sometime after I left Canterlot three years ago, when I quit being a DJ, I think. I have adapted to common life since... This... This is my bad habit.

Twilight Sparkle wakes up one morning to a harsh dose of unreality. She is stranded, without her friends, on an island which matches no known locale on Equestria. Surrounded and harried on all sides by the alien and the dangerous, she will find her mettle sorely tested, and find perhaps that the best friends you will ever have in your life are the ones you make when your back is to the wall...

Thanks to CedricBale and noobie56xx for tracking down the name of the artist so I could give them credit.
