Twilight did pass her exam, but her magic did not flare up. Hatching a dragon egg was more of an optional test the parents could agree too. Because her magic never flared, Celestia’s attention was not caught by her. Twilight was left to enter the best academy in the land, but not as the personal student of Princess Celestia.
Only a few months later Twilight sees how alone she is in it, surrounded by unfriendly mares and stallions who were at least three years older than her, she begins to struggle in her studies. Shining is no longer there to help, and neither are her parents. She is convinced she is in this alone.
When one night a mare visits Twilights in her dreams. Nightmare Moon offers to teach her, and help her study, for one thing in return. Travel to the the abandoned castle of the two pony sisters by the thousandth sun celebration.

Second story and my first attempt at one-shot writing! These prompts are based off of the ideas I had suggested in the comments of Forced memories Forced mothers. Please tell me which of these one shots you would like to see become an actual story, and I will try to make those prompts into a full story. Or write a story about it yourself, after all every writer can bring a new look on the same topic! Please like if you enjoy these ideas and if not then that's perfectly fine! Please comment with your votes for the one-shots that will become stories if you would like to!

Various one-shots involving many different kinds of hypnosis with different characters.

This story is a sequel to Twilight Becomes a Dazzling

During the initial Battle of The Bands finals, the Rainbooms and Sunset failed to save their friend. Now a few days later they aim to get her back no matter what, with the help of an old ally. Will they get her back, will Twilight stay a Dazzling, will the Dazzlings conquer the world?

(I'm no good at this)

Twilight just got to the human world(again) and hears the whole situation about the Dazzlings. Adagio sees that she can be a threat and decides to take care of her. But not by getting rid of her, instead she wants Twilight to join them. How will they do that? Who knows? Will Sonata get her tacos? Just read and find out. Only slightly dark.

Warning this is my first story, constructive criticism is welcomed, and sorry if you don't like it. Enjoy.

During one of her daily walks while out of school, Sunset Shimmer stumbles across a lone Sonata Dusk sitting in a coffee shop. Curiosity gets the better of her, and she approaches the Siren to start a conversation. What she gets in response is little less than shocking.

Adagio, Aria, and Sonata have been together since they were born. When they took over Equestria, Adagio led them. When they were banished to Earth, Adagio led them. When they faced against the Rainbooms, Adagio led them.

Now, after losing all their power and being driven away, Adagio has had enough.

For the first time in her life, Sonata is alone. No magic. No one to guide her. No place to go. However, when she bumps into some familiar faces, she may find herself in a different place. Everything is changing fast and it's hard to take it all in.

Note: I'm gonna try my best to avoid 'Sonata in Leather Pants' here.

After being defeated by the Rainbooms, Adagio and Aria want some revenge.

Sonata only wants to make her sisters happy again.

And Lord Black Hat wants to make a profit. This cannot end well.

[PLAN TO REWRITE]

A lot can change from one argument. Cozy Glow wanted nothing more but to be somepony else. Anyone else. Instead, she was this little powerless pegasus that did nothing but what her mother demanded... what her mother planned! She was sick of mother's plans. She was sick of her own name! So, the filly took it upon herself to pack her things and run.

She had some family in the Crystal Empire. Perhaps it would do her some good to visit them? Maybe they could understand her issue. Maybe they could help her?

What she didn't know however was that her greatest mistake would be stepping into the Empire itself. After she walked in... she never came back out.
When King Sombra took over and dragged the entire empire along with him down his one thousand year banishment a little filly was caught in the crossfire.
