A changeling gets a very risky and clever idea.
Pretending to be an advanced magic doll left as an anonymous gift in front of Twilight Sparkle's home.
It's so audaciously stupid there is no way it's not going to work.

Ditto, a changeling from the attack on Canterlot, is flung far from her home and lands in Ponyville. She crashes into Twilight's library, and finds it a nice place to stay, quiet, abandoned, and peaceful. Until, of course,Twilight returns from Canterlot and finds her.

How will Ditto survive? She is lost, hungry, and far from her swarm.

Will the ponies find it in their hearts to help this poor, injured creature?

Note: This story is no longer under revision, but there will still be a few spellchecks and such :)

Public speaking is hard. Having Lemon Zest, Sour Sweet, Sunny Flare, and Indigo Zap as your friends is even harder. How Sugarcoat manages to stay awake is something even she doesn't know.

(This description is the description for the story I'm doing to try and retell this story. I had originally planned to rewrite it here but, now that I read the first chapter over, I realize it's changed enough that I am willing to consider it a new story. You can read what is done of this one, but remember that the description now only loosely talks about this story. Thank you).

The Siege of Canterlot, as it has gone down in the history books as, has left the changelings and their hive in a deep depression. They are running low on food, their numbers were only a percentage of what they had before, and the sanity of some of the drones in the hive has fallen so low as to warrant themselves going rogue and leaving the hive to its own defenses.

In order to try and combat this recession and apparent downfall of her beloved hive, Chrysalis, has deployed meetings to be held every three months, a meeting that involves all of the inhabitants of the hive. To get every crucial system within the hive back to full functionality and working order, mandatory jobs are to be given out at every one of these meetings to random drones.

While Hux and his friend Kui have avoided getting those jobs for some time now, they are eventually entrusted with their part towards the reconstruction of the hive after a little bit of a disturbance.

The mandatory, random jobs have sufficed the hive thus far, but during an unexpected encounter with their greatest enemy, the reconstruction plan may have just turned into the destruction plan.

A quiet evening with Fluttershy turns into a nightmare when Discord finds Eris, his mother, at the front door; asking how his plans of causing chaos and disorder across the land are going.
Needless to say, Discord tries everything in his power to make sure she doesn't know he's reformed.
