In the dark the hands come, reaching out to her. Claiming her. She'll never be alone.

Walking through Crystal City at night, Sonata comes across the best thing to happen to her in recent memory.

My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I woke up today to find that everypony I have ever known has vanished. I'm alone in the world.

Help me.

Discord and Princess Celestia have been dancing for some time now. Not everyone can see it. Not even Celestia can, truthfully.

But Discord does. He sees every move and every turn. And he's not certain he ever wants their dancing to stop. No matter how much it might hurt them both.

Baking cakes, selling cakes, baking more cakes—it's all in a normal day's work for Pinkie Pie when the Cakes take the day off and leave her in charge of Sugarcube Corner. All she wants now is to prove that she's capable of handling anything life throws her way.

Just so long as life doesn't ask her to go upstairs.

Thanks to TGM, Rainedash, Kamikakushi, and Dubs Rewatcher for delving into the dark to preread this for me.

Twilight died today, and then she woke up.
