Everypony knows that Celestia is the princess of Equestria. She's been one for as long as anypony could remember, and she will probably be for generations to come. Some would even argue that there is no 'Celestia' without the 'princess' before it.

And yet, this morning Celestia has no idea why she is a princess, and her subjects have no idea why she isn't being one.

This story is a sequel to Gloria Celestia

A rumor here, a scandal there, and a peppering of negative publicity can easily provide all the ammunition necessary to take down some of the most powerful players of the Canterlot nobility. But when one party foul too far turns the entirety of the upper class against DJ Pon-3, Upper Crust leads an unrelenting blitz against her, and Vinyl Scratch's world begins to crumble all around her.

Unwilling to let an accident ruin the DJ's reputation on the callous whims of Canterlot's elite, Fancy Pants decides to make a risky investment into counter-culture and help Vinyl get back on her hooves. However, it's going to take more than the prestige of the Kingmaker of Canterlot to get this record spinning again, especially when real royal matters start spiraling out of control.

It should have been the happiest day of her life. Despite all odds, Twilight passed the entrance exam to Princess Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns. Not only that, but she also got asked to be the Princess’s personal protege. And if that wasn’t already amazing enough, she even got her cutie mark! So why wasn’t the filly prancing around in circles shouting “Yes, Yes, Yes” over and over again?

Being the victim of an uncontrolled surge did not only grant her enough magic to give life to a dragon but apparently also made it possible for her to get glimpses of her future, showing her a destiny she really does not care for. So, knowing where her current path would lead her, there is really no sensible alternative than throwing everything away and changing her destiny to one she can agree to, setting her up for a life of intrigue and adventure, uncovering the many mysteries surrounding her and a certain pegasus, to find out who they really are.

Unfortunately, in doing so, she ruins the carefully laid out plans a certain Princess of the Sun had drawn up. But knowing the forgiving nature of Celestia, there is no way that could lead to conflict, right?

Huge thanks to the amazing Mutter_Butter for the cover image and to the amazing LastToTheParty, for becoming my proofreader/editor.

Twilight finds an old book where it doesn't belong. It may be unnerving to read, but it's only a book, what harm could it possibly bring? That's what the mare asks herself as she stares into her mirror, certain her reflection just blinked.

I'm Twilight, and I was chosen for something, but I just don't know what.

All I know is that I've lived here for quite some time; enough that my memories of what came before are getting foggy.

I also know that I need to leave.

I need to go before they get me.

Before the princess finds me.

And, most urgently of all, before I find myself.

An impromptu trip to Manehattan leaves Fluttershy torn between life back in Ponyville and a little filly who caught her eye. Can she really stand up to the challenge of raising a foal? Especially one as damaged as Scootaloo?

Warning: The timeline is a little bit screwy from the actual show. Some events happen a little bit out of order. Please ignore.

All art was done by me. The first two headers were made by me writing in my notebook. The third header was from a still from the actual show, and the rest were done by tracing exports from SFM I made.

Inspired by the beautiful story Unseen, Unheard by the amazing Nocturnal Reverie.

HUGE thanks to Discombobulated Soul for making me finally finish this story.

Rainbow Dash is widely known for her propensity for pranks. While seeing an unsuspecting Anonymous the human in the outskirts of Ponyville, Rainbow decides to hit him with classic from her arsenal, the ol' lightning stomp prank. It's simply really, she's played it on tons of ponies before.

Rainbow didn't think Anon would get hurt. She didn't think he'd become paralyzed. It was supposed to be a harmless prank!

'What have I done?!
