Twilight Sparkle is a happy pony. With the help of her friends she defeated Tirek. She has a shiny new castle, the kingdom is safe, and she knows the reason behind her ascension. What more could a young princess want?

She is happy, she tells herself as she digs through the ruins of her home. She is so happy she can barely smell the ashes any more.

But in those ashes she finds something unexpected: a small porcelain vase, and with it a decade's worth of unspoken questions. A mystery hiding beneath her hooves, waiting to be put to rest.

Winner of the November Writeoff event.

More than a week has passed since the Summer Sun Celebration and Luna's return, and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza (a.k.a. Cadance) finally arrives in Canterlot after being recalled from a field tour. Princess Luna soon reacts badly to the existence of a third alicorn princess, threatening several relationships and giving an "enemy within" opportunity to attack. In the resulting tempest of alicorn passions and conspiratorial schemes, all Equestria is placed in peril. Now several of our heroes, lead primarily by Lieutenant Captain Shining Armor, must reconcile the alicorns and defeat the conspiracy in order to save Equestria!

I used to be somepony.
Somepony this town could depend on.
Now, I'm just an old mare with nothing to do.

Mayor Mare sits alone in the Town Hall. The years have taken their toll on this once proud pony, as she withers away behind a desk. As life passes her by, she wonders if Ponyville truly needs her anymore. A certain princess comes to her and offers her wisdom to help guide Mayor Mare out of the darkness. She will either overcome these personal demons, or she will succumb to them.

1st Person/Pony P.O.V. story attempt.

How are the everyday lives different for Twilight and her friends in a world where their cutie marks are telling them something different?

Where Applejack is a fashionista, Rarity is the weather captain of Ponyville, Pinkie Pie works at Sweet Apple Acres, Fluttershy likes to joke around and works at Sugarcube Corner, and Rainbow Dash takes care of animals in her cottage next to the Everfree Forest?

The MMC-verse is a universe based on the episode Magical Mystery Cure. A what if? universe where we can see how life turned out had their destinies been different.

Each "chapter" is meant to be a "full episode" so they are auto conclusive. I don't intend to make every single episode of the actual series into this universe because there are a couple of them that are kind of not possible to happen. And I also plan on making some "only happened in the MMC-verse" kind of episodes.

Thanks to RainbowJune for letting me use the cover picture for this.

This story is a sequel to Trixie Discovers She Is A Genius

By popular demand, here is the sequel to my other story (Trixie Discovers She Is A Genius).

Twilight and Spike send a letter to Celestia, telling her about how Trixie missed every question on her IQ test. Feeling bad for her, Celestia summons Trixie to Canterlot in order to personally speak with her. Trixie expects to be made fun of some more, but is surprised by what Celestia has to say.

I highly recommend you read the prequel first. It would make this story a lot easier to follow.

One morning, Princess Twilight Sparkle wakes up. She then proceeds to do incredibly amazing things.

Fulfill my destiny, huh? Sure. If you count horns on your back and wings on your forehead. Yeah, great destiny.

This story is a sequel to Rainbow Unicorns

Rainbow Burst -- a unicorn version of Rainbow Dash and Princess Celestia's personal student -- has been causing more mischief than usual around the castle (much to Blueblood's chagrin). Deciding the best thing would be to give Rainbow more responsibility and should spend some time away from the castle, Princess Celestia sends Rainbow to Ponyville to oversee the Summer Sun Celebration. While there, she and Spike meet some very odd (but familiar) ponies.

(I know, I have a problem. I couldn't resist. Anyway, enjoy.)

After Trixie boasts of her supposedly "high" intelligence, Twilight wants her to prove it. Trixie is forced to take the same IQ test that Twilight took. Once it's graded, the results show that Trixie is, in fact, smarter than her alicorn rival.

After Rainbow Dash accidently crashes through the library window and interrupts Twilight's newest spell, she is split into six ponies, each representing a part of her personality. These ponies will be sure to have their fun, much to Ponyville and Rainbow's friends dismay.
