It's Spike's birthday, and his six best friends have promised to give him whatever present he wants. And not just any promise - a Pinkie Promise. An unbreakable promise.
Big mistake.
Now Spike is asking all of them to trade places with each other, to try living like each of their friends, for an entire day - and they have to act just like their friends, too. Also, yes, he does have a camera... so no one will be forgetting this anytime soon. Even more disturbingly, if they give up before the day is over, they have to pay Spike a fee of ten bits.
Applejack is furious. Rainbow Dash is trying (and failing) to stay casual. Twilight is thinking about just how many things could go wrong. Rarity is appalled. Fluttershy is downright terrified. Even Pinkie Pie is disenheartened.
Thirty days. A whole month of weirdness, mishaps, surprises, hilarity, and - in every case - failure.
This is going to be a wild ride.

Starlight Glimmer has finally done it. She has stolen the cutie mark of everypony in Equestria and shown them the path to equality. From her new home in Princess Twilight's castle, Starlight rules Equestria, pushing everypony towards happiness and equality.

But one day Starlight Glimmer encounters a mysterious filly. A filly who is immune to Starlight's cutie mark-stealing magic. A filly with no name, no family, and no past. A filly who refuses to wipe that creepy smile off her face. As the filly begins to make friends with everyone in Ponyville, Starlight searches for a way to beat her. And what does the filly want from Starlight?

She just wants to break her.

Sweetie Belle burst into the Carousel Boutique in tears because one of her best friends is moving to a foster home in Baltimare. Surely there has to be a pony in Ponyville who can be her foster parent, right?

I'm lucky to have two of my favorite, (and also way underrated authors) on this site pre-reading for me, HMXTaylorLee and DemonBrightSpirit. Their work is seriously excellent and unappreciated so go check them out.

My super awesome cover art was done by hugsforpenguin and commissioned by the aforementioned HMXTaylorLee, so another thanks to him.

This story takes place in an Alternate Universe where Quills and Sofas sells more than two things.

A crossover story with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and my favorite anime/manga, One Piece. But it's not just these two. It's a whole new world with new characters to interact with the Mane Six and Spike. Stay tuned for adventure and friendship in this new and alternate telling; My Little Pony: Nakama is Magic!

The Epilogue - The Straw Hats are off, but there is much still to tell. Events are moving forward beyond are cast's knowledge. What lies ahead, who knows? "New Straw Hat Pirates Saga" end

Author's note: I would like to thank you all for reading, reviewing, suggesting, and just being brilliant. I wish you the best of luck in all your endeavors!

And one final thing, should anyone ever have that inspiration to write, and they want to see this story continue; you have my permission. Do as you like: invent your own story - epilogue be damned.

Applejack plans to ask a special somepony out on a date, but a certain ivory unicorn refuses to downplay such an event. After all, AJ is finally showing some love interest for the first time in her life—it's crucial for everything to be perfect! She'll need the perfect outfit, setting, and pitch if she plans to get the perfect pony, right?

Which is why Rarity will do everything in her power to help Applejack on scoring her first date, despite the heavily implied protest from the apple-bucking mare herself.

Twilight has been messaging Dragon Lord Ember for two weeks now, and the other ponies are wondering whom the new Princess’s pen pal is. Twilight gets a brilliant and terrible idea. Cover art by the sensational PixelKitties.

Nopony has heard from Fluttershy for three months. Not Rainbow Dash, not Rarity, not even Pinkie Pie. Her friends have been tending to the cottage and her animals, keeping it clean and organized, but even with Twilight's constant magic scans and a semi-constant guard search Equestria-wide, no hint has been found of where she went, how she vanished, or why she didn't tell anyone. Some ponies even think, in their darkest nightmares, that she might be dead.

Then she shows up one day, very definitely not dead, but just as definitely not the same as she was.

And does she have a story to tell. Boy, does she ever...

Coverart by Paladin.

After Twilight returns from the Human World, Celestia is desperate to know of her former student, Sunset Shimmer, and what happened to her. Upon learning of the horrible things her former student has done, Celestia breaks down in tears as Twilight asks why she was so important to Celestia and why she never told anypony. Celestia tells the story of her and Sunset. How they were so close, and how one secret ruined everything between them.

One day in the world of Pokémon, a mysterious aura pulse spreads across the skies of the Sinnoh Region. The professors have hypothesized that the aura pulse is a result of the legendries Dialga and Palkia, but what they haven't been able to figure out is just what has the aura pulse done.

That is, until someone finds themselves waking up to purple smoke dancing in his face.

With the help of the Professor and a certain young trainer from Hoenn, Spike decides to go into the world of Pokémon. To which he will go on an adventure in hopes to find some sign of the others. With a few new friends and a team of his own, will he pull it off?

(If you don't watch the show or even play the games that Pokémon is known for, don't worry. The story follows Spike's story a majority of the time. So even if you're new to how the show or game works then you'll be able to learn as Spike does.)

(Also, I'm not going to be revising this story all too much. I'll check for fixing grammar, punctuation and the such before posting them, but I'm not going to be too strict on much else. I just wanted to be the first to point it out.)

So where does Sunset Shimmer live? That's what her friends have been asking and it's about time they got some answers.

Based on my own headcanon on where Sunset lives.
