Maud is nervous about meeting Pinkie's friends. Prequel to the Maud Pie episode! Or, more like...it happened inside that episode.

Applejack travels alone down an old, dusty, well traveled road. The end of her long journey is near. Soon, she will finally be able to lie down and rest with her friends and family. She only needs to climb one final hill, so long as she can find the strength to reach its top.

Trixie lives a double life. On stage she has been heralded as Trixie: The Great and Powerful, but elsewhere she is Trixie: Cart Puller Extraordinaire. Her two lives seem to be disconnected, and that gap grows with each event and performance. But when she meets two ponies, they bridge that gap and help Trixie realize who she really is.

This second person story reveals the hardship of Troubled Anxiety, as you make his way to his broken soul. "All anyone wants is that your name would never be forgotten. Too many ponies with lost names." This sad retelling of my version of "The Catcher in the Rye", takes into account the hope that blossoms like a phoenix.

Everything is not what it seems in Equestria. Twilight wakes up one day and comes to realize this soon enough. She has lived her entire life through lies and illusions.

All the while fighting the thoughts inside her head questioning her existence and her current situation. Will Queen Chrysalis win or will it be Twilight's thoughts in the end that make her crack from the stress of it all?
