Warning: The following story is currently unedited and contains dark humor, an odd set up for a practical joke among immortal Princesses, whom one of them will no doubt go crazy, random things before she thinks she "kicks the bucket."

It just might be the most ingenious prank that Princess Luna has ever conceived. A simple one at that. All she had to do was to bribe her sister's most trusted doctor to tell her that she's dying. With only about a week left, Celestia then decides that she will spend her last eight days doing the crazy, immature, random and funniest things that she could think of while preparing for her own funeral.

Queen Chrysalis is in a bad spot. Twilight Sparkle had made a fool out of here so many times, she's now the laughingstock of her own kingdom. Her royal coffers are empty, and her subjects are defecting to new lands daily. To top it off, her daughter Pupa is whiny, wimpy, and generally an embarrassment to her name.

But that might all change when she pays a visit to the Goddess of the Changelings, who "blesses" her with a new power, to turn anything she touches into gold. Now she can defeat Twilight Sparkle and increase her riches... or she could fail and lose her greatest treasure in the process.

Commissioned by Magic Man. The OC Pupa is his invention, seen in Pupa-chan and Maternal Instinct. However, this is a different take on her, and is not in the same universe, so you don't need to read those to understand this.

Cover from IDW Comics.

Chrysalis has been defeated, now Shining Armor and Cadance can be wed. Or can they?

...Well, no. It seems the bride objects to it. Is this Cadance a changeling too? No, that would make far too much sense...

From a concept by defender2222 comes a tale of love...really, really screwed up love.

What happens when a god dies?

Twilight Sparkle has fulfilled her destiny and become the sole ruler of Equestria.

Unfortunately, at her first council meeting, she learns a terrible truth.

Equestria is a bit of a mess.

Princess Celestia, tired of the constant pressure that ruling a nation puts on her, decides to take a day off and let Luna take her responsibilities for a day, something the younger alicorn is more than happy to do. She disguises herself as a pink maned pegasus pony named Sunny Skies and decides to go walking around Canterlot without any supervision. Unfortunately for her, not all parts of Canterlot are as safe as the palace, and she finds herself at the wrong end of a gang of muggers, who decide to kidnap her for a ransom when they see how much money she has on her.

Luna freaks out.

Celestia thinks it's hilarious.
