Despite their supposed massive power, Alicorns have done a rather poor job of saving the day. Twilight discovers that there's an actual reason for that.

Discord decides to create a holiday centered around ponies pranking each other, it's a contest to see who can pull off the most pranks throughout the day. And whoever pulls the most gets the title of the Prankster King/Queen!

However Discord, Pinkie, and RD AREN'T participating! No, they are the judges of the entire contest! It's their job to basically rank the pranks on their execution, setup, and just how funny they are...

This is gonna be fun...

It's just a brown stetson.

Just a hat!

It's childish to think they can actually wear that silly cursed hat! But now everypony wants to wear it, and in the totally maddening town of Ponyville where nothing is sane, a bet is made. Whoever wins gets a full week of whatever they want!

Only when the Princess gets wind of this. Things get really weird.

This story is a sequel to Trixie Discovers She Is A Genius

By popular demand, here is the sequel to my other story (Trixie Discovers She Is A Genius).

Twilight and Spike send a letter to Celestia, telling her about how Trixie missed every question on her IQ test. Feeling bad for her, Celestia summons Trixie to Canterlot in order to personally speak with her. Trixie expects to be made fun of some more, but is surprised by what Celestia has to say.

I highly recommend you read the prequel first. It would make this story a lot easier to follow.

"Every normal pony must be tempted, at times, to spit on her hooves, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”

Over brunch, Twilight Sparkle lines out her plans to turn to a life of villainy. For the most part, her friends are all for it.

It makes sense in context, honest.

This story is a sequel to Let's Be Evil!

Pinkie Pie's at it again! This time, she comes up with a game for her and her friends to play wherein they randomly choose eligible stallions out of a bag, and have a month to make a love connection with the stallion they choose.

Seems simple enough, right?

...yeah, right.

Straight from the Canterlot archives, this collection of documents retells the rise and fall of Princess Twilight Sparkle, Enlightened Despot of Equestria, Defender of the Peace, Lawgiver, and Commander of Fort Libris.

Twilight Sparkle is, of course, known to historians as the first usurper to seek to schedule a coup d'etat by appointment. But for other details- such as, "What is the longest recorded time a pony has gone without sleep?", "Is it true what they say about swans?", and, "Why is there an owlbear in the Equestrian Witness Protection Program?"- these documents provide the answers and much, much more.

This is ABSOLUTELY SERIOUS HISTORY from primary sources. If anything makes you think this is silly, ludicrous, or unbelievable, blame Discord.
