"The Diabolical sometimes assumes the aspect of the Good, or even embodies itself completely in its form. If this remains concealed from me, I am of course defeated, for this Good is more tempting than the genuine Good."

Rarity just had a perfect date with a perfect colt! But something isn’t right.
She goes to her old childhood journal for inspiration. As she reads she notices a trend.
Hmm, she sure did write about Applejack a lot…

When the villainous Nightmare Moon returned and made Princess Celestia disappear, word quickly got around that she would bring about eternal night under her reign. Most were afraid to confront her but a certain group of friends charged on to free the land from such a fate.

They did just that, saved Luna who they discovered was Celestia's sister, and not only was Equestria saved with the Royal Two Sisters back together, but ponies realized that those bold friends held the magical and powerful Elements of Harmony—no, these heroines embodied them. What followed was festivities everywhere, honoring the noble deeds of six friends.

Two parents in Cloudsdale also participated in the festivities, especially when they realized that Rainbow Dash, their only daughter, saved Equestria and was revealed to be the Element of Loyalty. So, when Rainbow herself received a letter from them telling her to celebrate back home with a party...

Let's say she's not prepared.

Persuaded by Pinkie Pie to loosen up, Twilight Sparkle uncharacteristically deviates from her routine and finds a street that does not exist on any map, a street that should not be there. Down this road is both a threat, and an answer, one that may help us all reconcile the troubling inconsistencies between Season One, and all subsequent seasons of MLP:FIM.

If Twilight knows anything, which she does, it's that the perfect date requires the perfect list.

Rarity, however, seems to have a different idea.

Once there was a monster, whose flesh was made of steel,
A pony’s magic bound her, and she was made to kneel,
She was the pony’s servant, saw her sheltered, safe, and fed,
But when the monster left, it was the pony’s heart that bled.

Takes place seven years before the events of Familiar.

Based heavily on the sage writing advice of Nice Hat. Preread by NikitaKitten.

Two decades after the banishment of Nightmare Moon, her shadow still lingers. Princess Celestia has been left to tend the Twin Thrones alone and protect us all from those who would see Equestria crumble. Our enemies take many forms: some would tear the world down with their claws, others with their smiles. They are monsters all the same.

My name is April Showers, and I’m six years old. I live with my Mommy, and my Daddy, and my little sister Skittle in Cloudsdale. Today, Mommy went to the hospital to have our new baby—my sister Fluttershy.
Life won’t always be easy—in fact, it’s going to be really hard, and really sad sometimes—but together, we’re a family.
And that makes it all worth it.
