"The first time I came back, I thought it was a miracle. By the fifth or sixth time, I knew it was a curse."

Death is a reasonable fear, but it is also a constant reassurance. A promise that no matter how bad things get, they will one day end.

That promise was broken, leaving Rainbow Dash to pay the cost.

A very last minute entry for the 2024 SciFi Contest III.

Luna is a strange mare. Cadance is only now just starting to see how strange she is when Luna mentions the unthinkable. Maybe she'll learn something new in the process.

Through scientific invention, Twilight shielded her eyes from witnessing the inevitable deaths of her friends. 

And her wife.

It worked. 

For a while.

In the latent space, Twilight searches for an image of Rarity she can still see.

To help Applejack relax and be away from her farm life and her grief, Rarity takes the farm mare and both their little sisters, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom to the soft and sunny beaches of Puerto Caballo with their pets.

That was, however, when an unknown disaster stuck Equestria, causing a change of plans. This led to the four fillies, cat, and dog stranded on a desert island with no way to get home, if said home is still there.

A Season 10 of MLP:FiM that retcons The Last Problem and G5, and basically pretends as if both never existed.

Twilight moves back to Ponyville and decides to rule from there, after feeling homesick.

Flash Sentry was done trying to ask Sunset out. Between any number of magical threats she, and she alone, could handle, and her already busy school plate, she didn't have time to be asked out, let alone go on a date.

And throughout all his attempts, Derpy Hooves was there, ready to give him a pat on the back and a word of encouragement. But, during a conversation, Derpy lets it slip that there is another reason she was trying to help, and Flash figures it out.

This is an entry into the May Pairings Contest, being hosted by Wander D. I haven't seen any other fics with this particular ship, so I'd count it as rare enough.

Invading an extra-dimensional mad scientist's secret lair? No big deal for the agents of S.M.I.L.E.

But what Lyra and Bon Bon find there might give them some second thoughts.

You can be a pony.

But you can never stay a pony.
