It has been several months since the disappearance of Twilight Sparkle..

One night, after watching her sister raise the Moon and set the heavens alight, Princess Celestia begins to bed down for the night, only to be interrupted by portal forming in her room. From out of the portal comes none other than Twilight Sparkle, garbed in strange armor.

Princess Celestia, along with Luna, Cadence, and Shining Armor, are overjoyed by the Element of Magic's return, but are justifiably curious as to where she had been and what she had been doing. And so, Twilight begins her tale. A tale of survival against impossible odds. A tale of a people fighting for the most basic right of all sentient beings. The right to exist.

Queen Chrysalis likes it when I boop her on the nose. It helps her relax. However, one day, Princess Twilight Sparkle bursts in, thinking that Queen Chrysalis has put a spell on me.

Surely, when I explain to her that I boop her, she'll understand. Right?

Right?

Inspired by a delightful flash game that can be found here.

Featured on August 28th, 2016. This is as unexpected as it is amazing.

Harry Potter was a lonely boy who one day wished for a friend. Luna, trapped on the moon, wished for the same. And so their wishes are granted. How will the two deal with each other? And what about Nightmare Moon? Needless to say, their lives are going to change in both expected and unexpected ways...

Don't miss the unofficial sequel "A Princess Needs her Coffee", a lovely story by my wonderful friend Broman.

Applejack teaches her little sister an age-old family craft: how to knock an annoying and sleeping pegasus out of your apple tree.

This is a gift for a good friend of mine, Nobody47.

It came without ceremony and without warning. A huge monolith of mechanics, steam, and smoke that was unlike anything Equestria had ever seen before. It's origins are a mystery. One that demands to be solved.

I was just a normal boy when it all started, I went to school, had a girlfriend, and a loving family. Then it all changed when my grandfather pasted to me his prized top hat.

Normal when you receive a top hat it is in bad shape from yeas of use, not this one. sure it showed sines of rust on the brim, but it looked like a blue top hat made of metal.
Oh, if only that was true.
The next morning I find myself in another world where girls dive tanks on a huge ship, with each ship fighting each other.
After some deliberation, I decided to join their school and become a tanker too, only I happened upon an old train. Only; it was not just an old train, not that I knew at the time.
Even after I volunteered to haul all their equipment back to the ship, even when the bridge i was on collapsed and I plummeted into an old mine. Only when I left the mine did I realize how special the train, my hat, my grandfather were. How special I was. How I would have to fill his shoes in this new world... and how lost I was.

*Pleas note if you want to skip the intro of how he came to Equestria to when he arrives skip to

My name’s Marcus. Marcus Cortez. I’m currently a freshman at CUFTA. You don’t know what that means? Well, it stands for “Canterlot University for the Arts.” While it is a little unsettling to go to college in a completely different world from my own, and while being a human in a school full of mostly ponies is a little intimidating, I’m doing fine so far. I don’t have to worry about roommates, since I don’t live in a dorm. I live with my aunt.

Her name is Celestia. Princess Celestia.

You’re probably wondering how a human could be the nephew of a pony, and an alicorn princess, no less. Well, it’s quite the story.

In case you haven't guessed yet this is an anthro story, and my first time writing a story in first person, so we'll see how this goes.

The prologue for this story starts sixteen years prior to the return of Nightmare Moon and the story's main events take place after Season 3 ends.

June 22nd, 2016. After a year of restoration, Southern Pacific 4460 was once again steamed up and returned to the rails. She was on her way to Wishram, Washington to meet up with sister engine 4449. The rail fans scattered all along the mainline awaiting her for runby. 4460 was quickly approaching a blind curve ahead and straight into a tunnel. Strangely, the tunnel was glowing with multicolored flames. By then it was too late. She disappeared in the flaming portal. 4460 gets an interesting greeting from Ponyville when it's lassoed to a stop by Braeburn and a few others. Twilight Sparkle wondered if 4460 was one of the earlier and only pieces of human technology that exists in Equestria. She has Spike report 4460's arrival to Princess Celestia. Little did they know that Celestia had a secret connection to human innovation, including the locomotive. She relies on the Mane 6, a human, and some others, to drive the 4460 through the secret portal along a abandoned magic railroad that can connect to both worlds.

Ever since Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash met, they always seem to have been the closest. But when they are called to the Canterlot Castle, they wonder what it could be for. As they come back to Ponyville, their friends and their selves decide to temporarily move in to the Canterlot Castle. Alas, before they can even leave, the pair are called back again.

The two are sent to the Crystal Empire, along with Princess Celestia and Luna, to defeat a certain crazed alicorn.

Starry Night.

Seems nice, huh? Guess what, it's not. Forget that old name, and grace her new one.

Starlight Flames, soon to be queen of Equestria. And her sisters and nieces? Ha! No chance.

After a crazy adventure they find themselves in, their lives will never be the same again.
