Sea Swirl, Amethyst Star, you've seen these ponies in the background. You've named them, maybe even spotted them in a crowd scene or two.

But what do you know about them?

How did Sea Swirl get her cutie mark? Why was Amethyst in Canterlot and then Ponyville at the same time as Twilight Sparkle?

A series of short stories that answer some questions about these two ponies.

This fic is dedicated to Beth for being a nag, and George because I wrote it when I should have been attending his birthday party.

There are no humans in Equestria. In fact, most ponies haven't ever even heard of a human.

A lone clocksmith is taunted by sleep. Eventually the pony reaches out to a doctor who suggests keeping a dream journal.

Perhaps the nightmares can be explained through good old fashioned psychoanalysis.

Perhaps there is a very good reason you do not remember your dreams.

Two friends descend onto the Royal Canterlot Magic University seeking fun, friendship, and and maybe an education, if they have time. They are joined by one Manifest Destiny, the first earth pony to attend the prestigious college in history. Together these three will explore their world's, finding a place in life for them. Only time will tell what will happen, but they'll try their best to have some fun along the way!
