Ever wondered why you never see Scootaloo around her parents? The reason is quite simple, really. It's because she's scared.

Really scared.

Author's Note:
I am a bad person.
I should really stop publishing everything that I write.
Also, here is an obligatory warning that pretty much spoils most of the story. Read it at your own peril: NOT FOALCON.

Applebloom just wanted to spend a day with her friends, crusading for her cutie mark. Instead, she found something even deeper and more troubling about herself. Turns out she's not even a member of the Apple Family by blood. In fact, she's not even truly native to Equestria! She's an alien! An alien robot no less!

Now Applebloom will have to deal with the reality of her origins and try to cope with them and her newfound abilities as she moves towards her future; a future that just might never come to be if her new foes have anything to say about it. Decepticons are, after all, a monstrous cabal.

Now, it's up to Applebloom to light Equestria's darkest hour.

Twilight punches Flash Sentry in the face.

Several times, actually.

Big Macintosh becomes host to the will of an ancient eldritch necromancer.

Nothing changes.

Twilight had always been unstable. She watched her friends grow old and pass on. She felt trapped. She never wanted this.

The royal guards found the purple alicorn's body lying broken in front of the memorial for her friends.

Celestia is left to wonder why. Why did this happen? Her faithful student, her best friend gone. She is left to wonder what could have happened.

How do you save a life?

Everypony crowds around a stallion that waits on a corner. Why was he just sitting there. He's been there for weeks. No matter what happens, no matter what the ponies do or say, the stallion won't move.

They call him the Stallion that can't be moved.

Nothing in the universe is permanent. Nothing but one pony.

Now, in the darkness of the abyss, Luna remembers. And maybe, just maybe, this might not be the end, but rather a new beginning.

She might even see her sister again.

The great and powerful Chinchillax made a wonderful audio-play all on his own accord! Give it a look!

As fate would have it, Twilight had to hatch a much bigger egg this time.

Bon Bon has to take Lyra to the hospital to figure out what's wrong with her marefriend. She just won't stop making mouth farts! She's unresponsive to everypony and everything around her, and Bonnie just doesn't know what to do. The answer to her question is weirder than what she had original expected.

I don't know why I wrote this, it's really weird and very stupid. I hope someone enjoys it at least.

Looking back, she witnesses the entirety of her world in the window. A single dewdrop of oceans and forests and mountains and storms, just floating there, hushed and still. She squints through an eye, placing her hoof upon the glass. It completely covers the receding planet.

And in that instant, she's alone.
