Dear Princess Twilight,

I just wanted to quickly thank you again for helping me settle into Ponyville. I'm writing from my dorm room in the School of Friendship now.

Tomorrow is the start of a new day and a new life. I look forward to seeing what surprises my new friends have in store for me.

I will write more soon. Thank you again for believing in me.

Your faithful student,
Luster Dawn

Story is complete and will be updated every Saturday and finish on October 12th.

This story is a sequel to My Little Pony Friendship is Magic What If?: Volume 9

The show may be over but the rewrites are far from done, after all there's a whole new season of episodes to work with! It's time once again for that series which seeks to answer the fateful question "What if that episode had been written differently?"

Prepare yourselves for the biggest installment since Volume Four folks, we've got a whopping fifteen episodes that will be rewritten in this volume! There are five each in groups of three: The first covers episodes from Seasons 1 and 2, as well as Season 4. The second features five episodes across Seasons 5-8. And the third and final one involves five episodes of Season 9. And there will even be four bonus chapters, though you'll have to read the releases to find out which ones are it.

Like is always the case, the exact same disclaimer applies, the episodes rewritten are based on my personal opinion so please respect it. Don't get offended if an episode you liked is on the list here, or an episode you didn't like isn't. I'll gladly respect your opinions if you respect mine.

And of course while it goes without saying at this point, I obviously mean no disrespect to Hasbro, the DHX writing and editing staff, or anyone who likes the episodes that appear here. The intent of this fic, like all of its predecessors, is for entertainment purposes only.

Go to my main page to see the first rewrite volume, and then check each subsequent sequel (or go in reverse chronological order with the linked prequels) to see if an episode you think should've been rewritten or done differently has already been covered. Trying to list every episode rewritten across every volume would take forever.

Gallus and Silverstream are finally a serious couple. This, of course, gives Silverstream the idea of having the them visit her parents in Seaquestria. Gallus isn’t sure what he dreads more: meeting the hippogriff’s parents or the water.

Gallus doesn't want to go home for summer. With a little gentle persuasion, he gets his friends on board to keep him out of Griffonstone, though none of them are quite sure how to do it; that is, until Silverstream hatches a scheme.

All he has to do is join the Hippogriff Navy. It's not the relaxing summer away from school that he hoped for, but hey, it promises to be interesting! Who knows what three months as a sailor could bring?

Adventure? Certainly.

Self-discovery? For sure.

A sea battle with a band of renegade pirates? Anything's possible.

Romance?

Pssh. Yeah, right.

This story is a sequel to A Griffon's Gang

Griffonstone is almost back to its former glory. They no longer need the Idol of Boreas, instead, they have a new leader; Queen Gilda. However, their new queen isn't feeling too confident about her new role and she's not the only one as Glynn and Gadget, two griffons who were a part of a gang that shouldn't be named, are concerned about being parents to Gallus.

A lawyer doesn't always want to know what really happened. It's a tightrope walk. Whether or not the lawyer believes in his client's innocence is not the issue. It's his duty to defend his client - no more and no less.

Nearly one year has passed since Australian pilots discovered Equestria in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

Now the world watches in awe as, with the Princesses' blessings, one of the most ferocious and dangerous tyrants of the equine world - none other than Chrysalis, the Queen of all Changelings - is marched before one of the highest courts of law of the human world - the International Criminal Court in The Hague, the Netherlands.

But the Queen is wrathful and determined, still one of the planet's single most powerful creatures.
How can mere humans, who know next to nothing of her mystical home, achieve justice for the Equestrians?

Alexander Estermann is a conceited defence attorney who will have to wade through a quagmire of vengeance, racism, manipulation, lies, hearsay and self-deception to get to the core of the affair.
Seemingly the whole world is working against him - up and including the Queen herself.

Rated teen for liberal swearing and gore for minor gory descriptions and pictures.

Disclaimer: This is not a story that is meant to reflect reality. Several things about international law have been changed to accomodate the scenario and make it, well, readable. If that should offend you for any reason, I wish to apologise in advance.

This story is a sequel to Linguistic Walls

Artwork edited by me, original work made by nobody. Proofread by the amazing WrittenWord333.

Three months have passed since you were able to ever so cleverly deduce that Celestia had adopted you, indeed NOT trying to be your lover, and things have been absolutely terrible ever since due to nightmares that are making you question what is fantasy and what is reality. Not that mom would know, you've done a pretty good job of not letting on that anything is wrong. You two not speaking the same language makes it easier too, but you're still being kept on your toes by your aunt, Princess Luna.

Though you still have a way to go the lingual gap is closing slowly and during the process you've learned of Luna's prowess and abilities concerning dreams. Your only reprieve is that she seems to be having trouble accessing your dreams for some reason or another, but now the clock is ticking until she finds a way in.

Years of ingrained independence and the blurring line between dream and reality leaves you in a terrifying corner as even the pony you've come to care for the most may not even be real.

"Hi, my name's Mike Connerson. I'm eight-teen years old, I've just graduated high school and have a job at Burger King. I plan to go to college for video broadcast production, and I'm a brony. If you're reading this then your most likely a brony too. So let me ask you something. Would you say yes if Celestia herself gave you the chance to live in Equestria as part of a plan to try and slowly begin bridging the gap between our worlds? I ask because that's what happened to me."

"And I said no."
