Through a mirror capable of connecting to other worlds, I saw countless versions of myself, each shaped by my choices. And out of all the different Twilights, this one struck me the most.

Her experiences are almost opposite to mine—she was mentored by Star Swirl, which was my childhood dream.

Can this Twilight fulfill the dream I once had? Or will she fall into despair? I’m worried about her...

An entry for the Dialogue Only contest. Proofread by Wimple.

Spike uses one of Twilight's spells to go back 10 years and befriend a younger Rarity. The two grow to understand the value and meaning of friendship.

Sunset Shimmer's ambition grew along with her power and knowledge, and she decided to become an alicorn princess and rule at Princess Celestia's side. When the princess didn't turn her into an alicorn, Sunset jumped through the portal in a last show of rebellion and into another world.

A world devoid of magic but much more advanced technologically. Sunset figures that if she solves the conundrum of this strange new world and manages to combine magic with technology, she'll ascend into a princess and take her rightful place.

With a familiar face assisting her and the help of an inquisitive girl, Sunset sets out on the path of research and development. The world might not be ready for what is to come, but Sunset will still spearhead a revolution bigger than any world has ever seen.

Octavia hears somepony practicing piano, and learns more about her friend's insecurities.

A vent piece, just something to get off my chest. Part of a bigger story, but that's a project for another time.

It was the zenith of her life aspirations. Rainbow Dash had finally achieved the status she always craved: becoming a true Wonderbolt. Not some trainee, not a reservist, but a fully fledged, bona fide Wonderbolt! So what if she had a bit of a crazy night after that first show? She deserved it! However, why is her whole body feeling like it's been put through the wringer? Why can't she move?

And what's that bloody beeping?!

This story is a sequel to The Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship

Now that this boy has gained friendship, he will have some challenges in order to keep that and sacrifices to make but friendship is worth it.

A lonely boy in the earth empire has no friends but he meets some people that may provide him with companionship and enjoyment with their personalities.

Maybe it was the way she saw her, crying on the bleachers late at night. Maybe it was the way she looked at her all those years later, with knowing, half-lidded eyes. Maybe it was the way that deep down she always knew what she was feeling. Even if she couldn't name it.

Maybe it was everything.

It is that time of the year again, to go to some boring old festival to celebrate Princess Luna and Princess Celestia. Nothing that a fun loving pony would want to participate in. So taking the opportunity to babysit her foal cousin Flurry Heart jumps at it. It sure to just be a simple fun night with no hic-ups, right?

--I am reposting this story since I have hand an editor (thanks @Xowatle for looking over and editing it) go over it... and it could almost be considered a different story now. I will not be in the habit of doing this--

"Sweet! I'm a not a dog this time. How about you, Twilight?"

"Woof! Aff, yap, arp, fef, arp, ouf, yap, fff, aff, aff, aff, afff owoowoooof!" (Yet another silly submission for the dialogue contest!)
