Sunbeam Sparkle is not a good pony. She might not be pure evil, but she is ruthless, ambitious, and so power-hungry that she would even aspire to usurp Celestia's throne. Worse, she succeeds in manipulating Celestia into not only surrendering rule over Equestria, but her immortality as well.

It is often said that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. In most cases that’s true. Many good ponies have begun with good intentions, but slowly lost their way. However, this is not always the case. A rare few virtuous ponies have the character and strength of will to resist temptation, and are never corrupted by their authority.

Even rarer, there comes a time when gaining power makes a pony better than they were before. This is one such story.

The Chalk Family Cemetery is said to be the most haunted place in all of Equestria. On Nightmare Night eve Miss Cheerilee's class take a guided tour of the cemetery. An old-fashioned ghost story.

When an unidentified threat is posed against Canterlot, Princess Celestia restarts the assembly of the MPA, otherwise known as the Monster Prevention Agency. That means that Bon-er, I mean, Special Agent Sweetie Drops has to go back into action.

When she returns from her first meeting, Lyra has an important question to ask her.

Sergeant Stronghoof has been given the highest honor that a guard can hope for. Without being promoted to Captain of the Guard, that is. He has been given the assignment to be a bodyguard to Princess Cadence herself; during her wedding no less!

Now, technically he shouldn't listen in on her when she's getting ready for her wedding, but she's rumored to have a lovely singing voice. Once she begins singing, he overhears some interesting things.

Written because while This Day Aria is a spectacular song that I adore, I can't help but feel that her singing so loud would have attracted attention, especially when you consider that Twilight heard what the real Cadence was singing.

Set after the events of season 4: After realizing that she has feelings for Discord, Fluttershy must figure out if Discord shares the same feelings as her. But her plans goes to waste, when strange blue, cotton candy clouds start to appear.
