Morning Sun has a house.
Two jobs.
Food.
Water.

He isn't dead yet.
He isn't really alive though either.
Sure, he moves, breathes, eats, but there's no life inside.

The Elements of Harmony have become heroes in the eyes of the general populace of Equestria.

So when Twilight gets a letter from the Make-A-Wish foundation, asking her and her friends to come visit a dying colt before he passes on, it should be no issue...

Right?

Limestone Pie. The family grumpy gus. The ruthless dictatrix of the Pie family rock farm.

Hard as rock, because that’s what the job needs.

But once in a while, the facade cracks, and shows the real mare beneath the stone.

A/N Hi guys, this is just a short story I wrote in about an hour, HOPE YOU ENJOY! (I'd like to thank everyone who likes this, thanks for getting it featured)

You have lived in Equestria for some time now, around five or so years. You never meant to come here it just kinda happened. The first few months were a living hell for you, you were attacked because most thought you were a monster. This continued until you were captured by the Royal Guard and brought to meet Celestia and Luna. You explained your situation and over time you became friends, but that didn't stop the fact that you were ridiculed and attacked whenever you left the castle, and so in time you became content with staying within the confines of the castle. But one day guards showed up to your room and put you in chains...

We, the ponies of New Canterlot, do hereby dissolve the position of Monarch of Equestria, stripping it of all rights and privileges, effective immediately.

This is my fault – the student who needed me the most was the one I couldn't help.

I can't stop coming back here, to ponder where I went wrong, and what that means for both of us.

The worst part? How easily it could have been me... and why it wasn't.

Silver medal winner in the Discrepancy event on writeoff.me! Thanks writeoff gang for your feedback, as always!

Sunset Shimmer has been fighting against the current for so long. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to stop fighting.

This story was originally an entry to the Against the Current writeoff.

Hardship, pain, loss both personal and professional, there aren't many storms Rarity can't weather.
So it wasn't until Applejack saw Rarity leaving the wake that she thought something was seriously wrong.
