Ever since her breakup with Soarin', RD has been having strange dreams. She turns to Twilight for help, but instead the magical mare creates more questions. Why does Twilight have a box of weapons? Why is Twilight being so secretive with Fluttershy? Rainbow Dash tries to get to the bottom of all of her questions...

Inspired by Persona, and my idea that somehow, non-unicorns can cast magic. Not exactly a crossover though.

For how I created the card, go to source, and check my description.

And, if you know me, the titles another great pun. This one has four different meanings. But again, not all are obvious at start.

A strange merchant arrives one day, advertising only one product- an enchanted diamond, said to be an artifact from Zebras able to fulfill three wishes for its bearer. Intrigued, and enraptured by the crystal's radiant hue, she buys it. And the wishes work perfectly. That's a bad thing. Mortals should never mess with fate.

Luna... has a secret. Not one about love, anything besides that. Not one about life, she's getting plenty of that. And not one about her mind, because really its about theirs.

Rainbow Dash has one more story to tell, and it doesn't faze Scootaloo. If she knew, her life would be ruined.

What would happen if Gilda and Rainbow... weren't friends? Oh, nothing major, really, penultimately. Just a murder, the near death of another, a certain blue pegasus never joining the Wonderbolts, and a new mailmare in town. Just a thing, all I'm saying.

Been waiting to do this for a long time. Let's go!

Wouldja look at that, 888 words exactly in Author's Notes. I guess I am lucky. And the American Red-White-Blue appearance for the tags. Okay that's not luck, just a coincidence.

"Dinky... there's something I need to tell you... Something about our family... By the time you're reading this, it will be too late. Too late to stop me. The mares of our line have always been... different. Normal, up to a certain age. Then... it all goes away. I hope you will be able to live and tell your daughter. Love, Derpy Hooves."

Came to me in a dream where I was hanging my nonexistant son. I do not know why. Next to me was a judge. His sunglasses fell off to his nose like, in the way so you can see over them, and his eyes swerved madly, his hands flailing. Then it stopped. His eyes rolled back, and his sunglasses fell to the floor.. I picked them up. When I woke up after that, there were two dark shades in my field of view I couldn't remove. Like... sunglasses... then I blinked a few times and it was better. :D

Power. Wealth. Love. They drive ponies to madness. And they lose for that. Mind, home, sanity... all kinds of things. I was about to learn that firsthand from my sister's greed. A love lost, a kingdom gained, a lifetime cast aside.

Th- they can't all just leave me!?

They were my friends! Through thick and thin! We all laughed together, cried together... why should it end here!?

They all left me for the other side?! For Luna?! This can't be happening!

I may be the Element of Loyalty, but that doesn't mean I'm the only one limited to it!

====================

This idea is very old. Obviously wasn't going to be a ponyfic then. Used to just be a story I'd tell my friends. Polished it up, buffed it, and here ya go.

Had the idea to transfer it a few days ago, knew I wouldn't be able to sleep until I pounded this short oneshot out.

Not really good, in my opinion, how I did this. Or the idea, really. Could be way better, but close enough, yeah?

About half a month before Celestia accepted Twilight as her protege, she had another personal student, a pegasus with an affinity for space. Wanting to help her fulfill her wishes to explore the universe, she sent her out on a probe to a planet that Equestria supposedly colonized. Seven years passed, and Celestia was unable to establish any connections with her. But one single transmission she stumbled upon changes that all. Selena Astral isn't dead. And she's coming back with a friend.

Rated Teen for some dirty humor, may be violent in later chapters, I'm not really sure. This story was partially inspired by Douglas Adam's "The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series of books. However, I am fully trying to emulate his humor, but I haven't really put any good jokes in the first few chapters. I need to get the ball before I could joke around. Name is a quadruple entendre, will make sense in later chapters. Every name I write, or action, or whatever, if doesn't straight out mean something, its always a double entendre, or something else along the lines of that, like an extended metaphor. No names I make are random, they all mean something. I'll probably insert a bunch of references and quotes too.

This is my first fic, critique would be nice...

I DO NOT OWN MLP.
