When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

Hi. I'm Dusk Shine. Now I know some of you might not know me by name, but I assure you I am quite familiar. I am a purple unicorn with an even darker purple mane and tail. I am the personal student of the raiser of the sun and ruler of Equestria, Lord Solaris. I am the librarian for a little town called Ponyville where I live with my best friends in the world, the Elements of Harmony.   This is a story about how my life got flipped upside down and I meet others who I've never expected to see.

The star system Omega Centauri was just another oddity on a map to scientists in the not too distant future.  However when they found the star was orbiting an earth-sized, earth-like planet instead of a black hole as its motion had suggested, a mission was scrambled to investigate this most unusual of celestial behaviors.

Hamstrung by politics, and nearly crippled before it began, the 'Lone Ranger' mission was reduced to just one crew member and left to his own devices.

These are the logs of Arrow 18 and its lone commander.  This information is classified TOP SECRET by the Global Space Agency.  

Do NOT tell the princess.

Twilight is an intelligent mare, and always has something to say. But when a group of bizarre creatures shows up at her library offering life long service and devotion, for once she's at a loss for words. Which is too bad, because she'd really love to ask: what's a human and why are they so weird?

After surviving the dreaded Order 66, Jedi knight Joseph Malek has a near-death experience, in which he visits the most powerful being in existence. The strange being tells him of a future visit to its world before sending him back to his own existence. Twenty years later, while on a mission for the Rebellion, Malek accidentally stumbles upon a secret new world when his ship is damaged. The world’s Ruler, Princess Celestia, welcomes him and offers to aid in his ship's repairs. While there, Malek averts disaster when he stops a mutiny with the help of the planet’s inhabitants.

Now he must keep the world’s existence a secret when he travels back to his own dimension, which is rather hard when one if its people decides to sneak back with him.

One morning, Twilight unexpectedly finds herself with two feathery wings attached to her back, with no explanation for their sudden appearance. While trying to avoid detection, she tries to figure out what has happened to her, but as more and more things in her life change without warning, she realizes that her days of normalcy are numbered. Difficult tasks await her, from figuring out what to do with herself and how to deal with her friends, to facing new challenges and trying to convince everypony that she’s still the same mare she was before. As much as she tries to keep everything the same, most of the things happening to her are out of her control, and she may not be able to handle the never-ending cascade of new responsibilities, and new expectations...
