Ponyville is a place filled with mysteries... according to Pinkie Pie, at least. While many merely see what's in front of them, Pinkie has it all figured out. She is a self-proclaimed master of observation, after all.

Twilight, however, disagrees.

Vinyl Scratch is not a vampire, she would say, she is just a pony with strange red eyes. And Octavia, on the other hoof, isn't a 'Land' Siren either, hypnotizing stallions to do her bidding with her music. She's simply a master of both the cello and the male heart. What of Time Turner, one may ask? Not a Time Lord, she would say, he's only lord of Ponyville's clocks. And by way, Derpy Hooves is most certainly not his secret assistant playing dumb.

What about Lyra Hearstrings and all her odd behavior, though?! Certainly that must mean something!

Twilight would roll her eyes. A former 'Hamen' from another dimension? Really?! How would that even make sense? Scootaloo? Don't even bring her up. She's not a star child/spirit/changeling/[insert insane theory here], she's just a poor orphan filly down her luck. And don't get her started on on Captain 'Jack' Harness. He isn't immortal, nor does he lead a secret organization called Horsehood. He's a retired guardsman. His name isn't even 'Jack', it's Black!

There's more, but the jist has been gotten, save for one last thing:

For most certainly, and this is with beyond a doubt: none of these ponies, when the clock strikes one on a foggy night, are secretly meeting at the run-down Stallion Stanley Hotel to conspire against Ponyville.

... Right?

The Truth is Out There.

Twilight has been having some weird dreams lately about strange dark creatures. Twilight tries to ignore them as just simple nightmares. But one day, the creatures of her dreams become a reality. Soon she has to fight to protect her friends, but the only way to do so is to fight using powers and magic she has never seen before. Just a normal day in Equestria, right?

(Warning: most of this story will be taking place in Equestria and will in no way be crossed over with the characters of the Kingdom Hearts series. This is just Keyblades, Heartless and Ponies.)

With the Spirit of Chaos locked in stone by the powers of Harmony, a new order must be created. The spirits of Love and Harmony are given physical form, taking the names Cadence and Philomena, so that they may walk among the ponies and ensure peace reigns.

Too bad they're both terrible at this.

Frosty Mug runs the premiere (and only) watering hole in Ponyville. He's been behind the pine for years, and listened to many a sob story, and joyous announcement. Enjoy his recollections of a rather strange week in which he served a different Element of Harmony every day, and a pony he would have never thought he'd have the honor of getting drunk. These are the memoirs of a Ponyville booze vendor.

Warning: Shipping is mentioned, so if you're some kind of anti-shipping zealot, don't read it.

All Spike really wants is some sleep. Is that so much to ask?

Mort, also known as the Pale Pony (of Death), finds himself in a position where he has been tasked to take time off from his rigorous duties of reaping souls. Seeking guidance, he is directed towards the town of Ponyville, to learn about the magic of friendship from Twilight Sparkle and her friends. All he needs to do is keep his true nature a secret. That shouldn't be too difficult...right?

Special thanks to Specter-Von-Baren and Pyrite Foolsgold for their help in proofreading and editing this story, as I really needed it. Additional thanks to Pilate, Chuckle5 and Admiral Biscuit as well! Couldn't have done it without all their help!

Princess Twilight is finding herself with more and more political power than both Luna and Celestia. Not wanting to upset the balance of power, Twilight brings her concerns to the other princesses. Unfortunately, the royal sisters won't be of much help; after all, change comes slowly to the immortal. However, for a certain spirit, change is an everyday occurance. Now Discord has become Princess Twilight's advisor, and they are driving each other crazy.

However, hate can morph into love—but they'll still be driving each other crazy.

Professor Discord starts receiving unwanted attention from the new student of Celestial Academy, Twilight Sparkle. As Twilight spends her days trying to unravel the mystery surrounding the Draconequus, something watches from the shadows with malicious intent.

DiscoLight will ensue.

Even though MLP:FiM ended a few years ago, my friends and I still loved the show. Stories, merch, fan art, I loved it all. Things started to get a weird though when I found myself with a cutie mark appearing on my leg. Humans aren't supposed to get cutie marks, so where the heck did this come from? And what's going on with my hair?

This was meant to be a short little quirky story, but as I soon found myself engrossed in writing a bigger and bigger story.  It was originally just written for the 'Pony transformation general' community on /mlp/. However, due to the positive feedback from friends, I then decided to post the story here on FimFiction so others could enjoy it.

It should also be noted that the story here has been slightly modified version from the original. The story you see here has been fully reedited and 'cleaned up' to fit the standards of a "Teen" rating here on FimFic. If you wish to up the ante and read the mature version of the story, you may do so on the Google Doc here. Feel free to switch between either story version whenever you like, as the main story line between the two versions is identical.
