Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon poke fun at Apple Bloom simply because she does not have her cutie mark. When an arts and crafts fair is preparing to set up in Ponyville, Applejack encourages her little sister to at least participate, but she soon succumbs to her own self-depression. Discouraged, confused, and upset from all the building up of verbal abuse, Apple Bloom one day disappears from Ponyville without a trace and it isn't long before Applejack is driven into mental insanity worrying about her. Silver Spoon betrays Diamond Tiara by confessing to Applejack the most likely cause of Apple Bloom's disappearance and quite possibly her true reason for wanting her cutie mark. And once Princess Celestia learns of Apple Bloom's problem, she decides to pay a visit to Ponyville herself to announce a very important lesson about bullying. Will Diamond Tiara finally realize the error of her ways? Or has her heart been permanently hardened by her own twisted misdeeds?

Also, we have a very special guest appearance somewhere in this story. Think you can find out who?

An alternate version of "Ponyville Confidential", but unlike my first two stories, this one actually begins towards the end of the episode, and will also be published in four parts. Inspired by Splash Surfer 216's "Ponyville Runaways", this is a concept that I think would've made a great two-part (or even three-part) story arc for the series. The Cutie Mark Crusaders, feeling no longer welcome in Ponyville after being exposed as Gabby Gums, decide that the only thing left for them is to run away from home. How will their friends, and family react when they realize what's happened? And what will happen with Diamond Tiara?

I mean no disrespect to the people responsible for the show, nor do I claim ownership of My Little Pony. I also DO NOT claim credit for Splash Surfer 216's work. I just loved his idea, and wanted to do my own version. This fanfic is purely for fun, and is simply my opinion.

Note from author: Some of you may remember my botched first attempt at this story, and again, I apologize for that, especially to Splash Surfer 216. I honestly didn't mean for that to happen. The truth is, I jumped the gun when I published it the first time, and didn't realize how much I'd messed up until after I did so. I sincerely hope that this time will be different.

When you make a mistake, it hurts. When you try to apologize, it can hurt even more. When Gabby Gums made a mistake, she–or, rather, they–ran from it. This is what followed. AU "Ponyville Confidential" ending.

When the Cutie Mark Crusaders realized the error of their ways in the Gabby Gums incident, they made it clear to Ponyville how sorry they all were. An apology letter was printed for the final Gabby Gums article, apologies were made, and punishment dealt towards the blackmailing Diamond Tiara.

But what if it didn't happen that way?

Overwhelmed by guilt and convinced that the town they call home doesn't want them anymore, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo submit their apology letter and bid the town a sad farewell, vanishing from the streets without any further comment. Shocked and consumed by guilt, their friends and families start a mad search to find the little fillies and bring them home. Meanwhile, in the Everfree Forest, the Crusaders themselves find that running away is much more painful–and dangerous–than they had expected.

Rewrite on it's way! Hopefully it'll be out by 2024

There is a world where Life and Death govern all imaginable realms. A world where Watchers guard over their planets and the creatures that roam them. In this world, a young soul goes on a journey to a place he never thought existed, after cutting an untold deal with Death.

Equestria, a place of magical creatures and mysteries, offers him a new chance at life. A chance he will have to pay dearly for. This is the written story of his adventures, some of the sorrows and victories of his life as he goes through great challenges and fights his inner darkness.

At the end of this journey, one begs the question: What is better? To be born good, or to overcome your evil side through great effort and sacrifice?

Twilight, in her first fight, utterly destroys her opponents. For about five minutes. Then things take a turn for the worse; Spike gets burned and sent to the hospital, and Twilight goes into a rage for weeks on end. Years later when Twilight remembers the incident, a image burned into her mind melds with a more recent one: eyes flashing from normal to green and slitted, and she stumbles onto something that shakes her foundation.
