The Following takes place after Pinknesia: The Darker Descent.

Canterlot has been saved...The Entity defeated...and the lives of many restored. Celestia raises the sun...Luna raises the moon, and for once in six years in an age of blood and misery...Canterlot and Ponyville knows a peace that hasn't been seen for years and years. Quill and Twilight are set to be married, and Applejack is still trying to find the courage to tell Rainbow how she really feels.

But what about dear Scootaloo...a mare, grown now, in her own right? What does she...a year after succumbing and returning from death, have to say about Pinkie Pie, her mother who is believed to be dead? No body, no proof, no forgiveness. Under her smile, under her eyes, under her coat...a darkness emanates. Anger...and Despair, rocking her to her very soul. She is hell bent on finding Pinkie Pie, and NOTHING will stand in her way. What lengths will she go to, to find the mother she loves, and bring her home? Nopony knows...come now, watch...and listen...as we witness The Darkest Descent of them all...of a mare named Scootaloo.

On the eve of Nightmare Night, Rainbow Dash is finally poised to enact her dastardly, clever and awesome plan. The goal? To scare Pinkie Pie right into her embrace so she can admit that she fancies her.

Saying things do not go according to plan is probably redundant.

September 26, 2016 - New York City

Six squads of the American Delta Force have been dispatched on a mission that could decide on the victor of the war against the Russians. Overlord, code-named Princess Celestia, leads the teams through the operation as they learn about their "friendship".

(Rainbow Vs. Wild ---> Octavia Vs. Rave ---> Shyness Vs. Kindness ---> Twilight Vs. The Great and Powerful.)

Twilight couldn't be happier for her friends. Rainbow Dash and Applejack have gotten together after their mishap in the Everfree Forest. Big Macintosh and Fluttershy have finally hit it off. And even her new friend Octavia has even found love with Vinyl Scratch! The only exclusions are Pinkie and Rarity, who are too preoccupied with parties or dresses to even care!

But...what about her? What about Twilight...who feels as if she's missing out?

There's little she can do about it for right now though, as Princess Luna herself has requested she help deal with a problem in Manehatten. Somepony has been causing serious trouble in the city that never sleeps, and Twilight isn't going to believe who's behind it all!

Can she let go of the past, look past the facade, and see a pony who's hurt, broken, and afraid?

Can she save a mare who everypony has deemed a 'Phony', a 'Failure', and a 'Dead End of Life'?

Will she hear the cries of help from a mare she thought she knew...and take a Leap of Faith?

(Rainbow Vs. Wild ---> Octavia Vs. Rave ---> Shyness Vs. Kindness)

It's good to be Big Macintosh. A powerful, sexy, and formidable bouncer who guards the entrance to the club "Vinyl's Cage Corral", and also the work horse of Sweet Apple Acres. He's good looking, and has many mares swooning at the mere mentioning of his name.

But...what if he doesn't even notice them? He's too busy to bother with love, and even if he could, the mares around Ponyville just aren't for him.

With Applebuck Season over, Vinyl's club closing down for Hearth's Warming Break, and no work to be done, Macintosh finds himself bored out of his mind...until he sees her.

A canary-yellow Pegasus with a lovely pink mane and the softest, most adorable eyes he's ever seen. He wants to talk to her...but what he discovers is that he's too shy to even try! To make matters worse...two of his cousins are in town to visit and notice this as well.

What follows is the hilarious adventure of two Apple Relatives helping a third to 'Buck up or shaddup!', get his act together and, you guessed it...take a Leap of Faith.

(This one's a bit shorter then the others, so I'm going to try to keep it the same quality but increase the speed. I really want to get to Twi-Vs-TrX!)

Author: Pinkie Pie, shut up! No you can't name- You already did. Son of a...
Pinkie Pie: So author, you're always writing stories about me! How about I write a story about YOU!?
Author: That is a horrible... horrible... HORRIBLE ide-
Pinkie: Spectacularific! Let's do it!

A hack author (from "Extremely Terrible and Horrifying Stories" and "Mystery Pinkie Pie Theater 3000") is attempting to write his next magnum opus. Then Pinkie Pie happens.
Not the most original idea in existence, but hey, this is my take on how it would play out.

When Twilight Sparkle first arrived in Ponyville, she thought every pony there was crazy. Nowadays, she fits right in. This is the story of a normal day in her new home.

For the small town of Ponyville, the eve of Nightmare Night will forever be seen and viewed as a tragedy and murderous event. Pinkie-Pie, the Party Pony of Ponyville, has been accused of murder by a Health Inspector working for a rival chain of bakery and sweet shops in Equestria. Even with a powerful defense, Pinkie-Pie was charged with one count of Murder, but fled Ponyville soon after, her friend Fluttershy honorably taking the fall for her escape and herself being imprisoned for being an Accomplice. Five years later, a Detective Pony, Mr.W.Quill, will learn and discover the mystery of Pinkie Pie's Dark Descent, and the grim, bloody trail that was left in its wake. How the story ends...only through hearing the tale will the Detective discover it. He is willing to unravel the truth behind a plot of sinister evil...and will learn what a Pink Mare had to do, to save herself, and a town under siege

This is the tale of a baker, who had everything...and a colt of Power took her friend away, destroyed her happiness, and accused her of a most atrocious crime...and in her sorrow...a new mare was born. Never Forget...NEVER...Forgive.

Stay Tuned for a sequel!!!

Twilight is an intelligent mare, and always has something to say. But when a group of bizarre creatures shows up at her library offering life long service and devotion, for once she's at a loss for words. Which is too bad, because she'd really love to ask: what's a human and why are they so weird?

The following is a continuation and sequel of Pinkamena: The Dark Descent

It's been a few days since Pinkie Pie, the Party Pony of Ponyville returned from being banished to the moon after killing Inspector Trottington. Upon a review of her own actions and mentality during her "baking", Pinkie Pie seeks the professional help of Luna and a close Therapist Pony friend of hers in hopes to find the answers as to why she was so comfortable and unbothered by what she did. What they discover...is unimaginable. A dark entity is living inside Pinkie Pie, and although it has never controlled her, it had influenced her dark actions after being awoken from the sorrowful emotions of the Pink Mare. When a spell to rid this entity misfires, the entity succeeds in escaping from its pink prison, and escapes from Canterlot, fleeing to Ponyville. It's reasoning and purpose unknown, it finds and corrupts the first pony it comes in contact with...Twilight Sparkle.

Returning to the scene is our friend Detective W. Quill, curious as to the origins of The Entity and what its intentions are. Along for the ride comes Scootaloo and Fluttershy, hoping to aid the detective in his case.

With Twilight "Ponynapped", Canterlot in a state of shadowy chaos, and The Entity threatening all of Equestria...

...one Pink Mare, armed with a lantern, matches, and her own sanity...must travel to a place of nightmares, and begin A Darker Descent.
