Twilight was never comfortable with the decision made on that day. After a decade of cleaning up the messes her predecessors had left behind, she couldn't in good conscience leave another behind for whoever followed in her hoofsteps.

Written for the Thousand Words Contest II in the Horror category because sometimes you just gotta.

Well, okay then

And apparently A dramatic reading by StraightToThePointStudios
Think that's actually a first for me.

It seemed to be an eventful day at Bronycon for Steven enjoying his time like any fan would. That was until he came across a stall with life-sized plushies of the mane six. There was just one missing, Twilight Sparkle.

Teen for Plushie Transformation and possibly could be considered dark at the end but I don't think the dark tag is needed.

n. 1. An extravagant fondness for flowers

Daisy and her friends embrace their destinies by transforming themselves into flowers. There is an unexpected consequence, however, as they end up controlling all of the flowers in Equestria.

Nopony really cares, though. It's not like flowers can take over the world or anything, right? Right?

Rainbow Dash's weekend had started out great, however, after taking part in Trixie's magic show, Rainbow started acting differently. Little does the pegasus know that there was more to this change then just a random coincidence.

Story contains: Adult Foal themes, hypnosis

Derpy Hooves is secretly a changeling.

Nopony particularly notices, or cares.

Every Saturday morning, Joe tunes in to watch a show originally intended for little girls. Why does he do it? What does he stand to gain from it? One could say that it brings him joy. One could say that it brings him inspiration.

One could say that it brings him hope.

It's been a week since the Royal Wedding, and Twilight and her friends are back in Ponyville, safe and sound. However, ever since they returned from Canterlot, all of Twilight's friends have gone through large bouts of guilt over ignoring her warnings. But of all her friends, Twilight is most concerned about Spike, who keeps waking up in the middle of the night with severe panic attacks.

Despite all her best efforts, Twilight hasn't been able to get her assistant to talk about his dreams, or make him feel better about himself since that day. But after another restless night, Twilight has had enough, and refuses to let him go until he talks about his dream.

However, when Spike finally confesses his recurring nightmare, he talks about what could've happened if Twilight never saved the wedding. And what she discovers, is much worse than she could've ever imagined.

For hundreds of years, Twilight Sparkle has managed to go through her life by working day and night as the sole ruler of Equestria. Sensing her life coming to an end, Twilight looks back at her achievements and believes like something is missing since the last of her loved ones died.

One day, Twilight finds some old relics with her great-great-great-great-great granddaughter with one of them being her old doll, Smartypants. Memories of the time she used to play with her favorite doll, even bringing it to life with a spell, flood her as long-buried emotions come out. It is with Smartypants that Twilight will find what she has been missing all this time.
