Life is fleeting. In an instant, a normal day can shift into an endless nightmare.

That's what happened mere decades ago, when a strange cloud appeared over Equestria and the surrounding countries. The world crumbled and thousands perished in the destruction caused by what is now known as "The Blight."

Now, ponies scavenge the ruins of old Equestria for anything to help them survive. All seemed lost until a mysterious group, The Great Royals Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Discord, and Twilight Sparkle, appeared with a message:

"We have hidden old Equestrian Bits all over this world, and whoever finds them all will be granted a wish...so long as it is within our power, it shall be yours!"

Thus the great hunt began. Ponies the world over began searching frantically for their chance at a better life. However, those searching soon found The Blight came with more than destruction and decay. A new race, strange and unlike anything seen before, arose from the murk to fight for their wishes and desires.

Let the games begin!

This is not real, this is all a lie... a cruel trick on me. There is no way she's here, I mean, Fluttershy can't be here as a human, right?

Rated teen for frequent language.

Derpy Hooves, famous mailmare, klutz, muffin-lover, and caring mother to Dinky Hooves.

Dinky is almost thirteen, and has been suffering from bullies telling her Derpy doesn't love her anymore. Sometimes we just need to sit down with those we love to show them we really care.

Consequences of our actions are often unforeseen. Some are harmless, some are fatal. Some are temporary, some are permanent. And then we have these.

When Rarity decides to perform a little wizardry, it should come as no surprise that things do not go as planned. One thing leads to another, and Rainbow Dash ends up with a stallion that looks, acts, and thinks like her to deal with. Will hilarity ensue? Will relationships form? Will Twilight just clone everypony else and get it over with? All very good questions. Some might even get answered. Tune in to Graphs to find out!

I believe gender-bent characters belong to that Trotsworth fellow. Cover brought to you by roselladoll1. She seemed to express consent for its use. Heartfelt thanks and whatnot to those two.

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.
