When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When life decides to screw you over time and time again, add a splash of vodka to your lemonade to feel better. And when life decides it’s not content letting you wallow in self pity, go to a bar and meet a strangely sympathetic centaur.

Tirek may not give you a shoulder to cry on, but he will give you something to wash your woes away. If you're lucky, or if your considerably unlucky, then he might even offer a piece of advice as well. Just don't expect it to be free of charge.

Equestria has been through a lot lately. An evil alicorn escaping from the moon. A mad spirit of chaos turning the world into his plaything. An invasion by evil shapeshifters. A monstrous lord of fear returning from exile. An attack by a vast, unstoppable mass of vines.

But nothing had yet compared to the ravages of Lord Tirek, who stands virtually unopposed in his quest to absorb all the magic of Equestria, especially now that even Discord, the Lord of Chaos, has betrayed the ponies and decided to help him.

Unopposed, that is, except for a single pegasus filly. Her name is Cozy Glow. And though neither of them realizes it yet...this is going to be the start of a beautiful FIENDship.

During the stunt show, Rainbow realizes Scootaloo is growing up, and that Lightning has moved on in her life. Sometimes you make bad choices, and sometimes you make mature ones.

There are many who say that evil has no place in the world. These people are wrong. There is a place for everything, but evil especially. Without evil, we wouldn't have any context for what is good. The world needs villains so that it knows who its heroes are.

But as someone very unhelpful once said, there's evil and then there's evil. Some villains go over the edge, and instead of quietly filling their role as the natural antagonist, they try to overturn the chessboard. Instead of conquering, they destroy.

It's these sorts of villains that give evil a bad name. It's these sorts of villains that King Sombra is dedicated to hunting down.

Spike gets a visit from a truly loyal friend, but she isn't just coming for a regular visit. what does rainbow have to say? And how will it affect their relationship?

Okay. So Mare-Do-Well has been unmasked, Rainbow Dash learns her lesson, and everyone lives happily ever after, right?

Not exactly.

The Mane 6 return to Town Square to explain everything to the townsfolk....and they learn that their plan was......significantly flawed.

Spike's been feeling down on himself lately. Perhaps a flower might help?

[EqG] Rainbow Dash injures herself during a run one morning. When you step in to intervene, she's unsure how to react.

Rated T for some language.

Okay so when we were younger my brother would never leave me alone and follow me around like a lost puppy all the time. Well being his awesome older sister who can blame him. Though I got sick of it and told him to back off, but him being a little kid at the time he didn't listen to me at all. He was so annoying.

Well he was.....

It seems that I did finally get my wish after all. Now I think I might....no, I know I didn't really mean that. Lately he hasn't really spent much time with me in years as he use to. Often times I find myself talking to an empty room with out him. It's been way too long since we did anything together, so tonight we're going to do something. And if he doesn't want to I'll force him.
