One fine, perfectly normal day, Twilight unlocks the doors to her School of Friendship... and promptly loses consciousness.

When she comes to, she finds that her friends, mentors, other ponies she knows and even a couple unreformed enemies are with her, and her School has been radically modified, relocated and encased within a barrier. A strange little black-and-white bear tells them that they now live here indefinitely; the only way they can leave this place is if they kill a fellow pony and get away with it in a trial.

But Twilight has nothing to worry about. As long as she believes in the Friendship between herself and the others, there has to be a way for everypony to escape alive and well. Surely nopony would even dream about killing another pony... would they?

As Starlight is having a nightmare, Princess Luna intervenes to aid her. In doing so, she winds up revealing something highly personal to Starlight. Both ponies see how much they can learn about themselves and each other simply through a dream.

Death tag is only a precaution for mentions of death. No gore or in depth descriptions of death are present in this story.

Set between the Season 5 finale and the Season 6 opening.

When Applejack and Apple Bloom both can't sleep, they take a walk through the orchard. As they do so, some truths are revealed. These truths pertain to both sisters as well as their parents. But what are they?

Written for One-shotober.

Living behind a mask is difficult enough. It becomes unbearable when the mask you wear becomes known for what you do best. Then the mask becomes a part of you, an inseparable part of you own being, one that looms over you even when it does not conceal you. This is the world that Scootaloo lives in every day. Every waking moment is a balancing act between her masked talent and her contrived personality.

This is the story of Swan's Mask.

Suri Polomare had every reason to be confident. A little theft here, a little deception there, and Fashion Week was as good as hers.

Too bad she didn't think about the long-pressured conscience of a certain timid assistant.
