With the immense power gained with her new role as Equestria's sole princess, Twilight Sparkle has also received the ability of foresight Celestia had held for so long. However, Princess Twilight's power to see into the future is far stronger than Celestia's ever was. She has seen visions of the world over a thousand years into the future, where the pony world of Equestria has lost its magic. Friendship and Harmony have been replaced by paranoia and mistrust, and Ponies now live separated by species. Everything she and her friends had worked for would inevitably be eroded away, erased, destroyed, and made futile. This knowledge rocked Princess Twilight to her core. The idea that everything she had ever worked would be rendered meaningless was almost too painful to bear. And so, in her grief, she came to a decision.

If she could not change the future, she would kill it.

Sunny believed the tales. Really believed, in a way that most ponies didn't anymore. About the Elements of Harmony, and about Twilight Sparkle. Back when Equestria had princesses, and was whole, when every creature knew the real power of Friendship. She believed⁠—and she knew that, one day, if she believed hard enough, it could be again.

Elsewhere, distant, Twilight Sparkle watches her would-be student, and frets.

A mission ends with Fluttershy being revealed as a changeling. The Mane 6 pause on the walk back home to discuss this development.

Filthy Rich has a problem. His daughter, Diamond Tiara, keeps breaking her promises to treat her classmates with more respect. In fact, she doesn't even seem to really understand what a promise is. Since punishing her does not seem to have much effect, Mr Rich is forced to consider a more creative parenting method. But how can he make such a spoiled, materialistic little filly as Diamond Tiara see the value of a promise?

With money, of course!

Now has a dramatic reading on Youtube! Kudos to DRWolf.

You think that Derpy is a pony at all? You think with that much love she can be our kind? This muffin-loving Pegasus is actually Milkweed, a female changeling who feeds off fan's love of her...pony personality? After a tragic accident with the Mane 6, she realizes she does have a heart. She created this beloved background pony to blend in and to find a friend in this place and win love for the changelings so they can have love to share, and they won't have a reason to feed. Though, Milkweed asks herself, "Why are they eating cheese?" This is because they are eating what covers what used to be every one of her species' hearts. Though changelings can't die and the cheese will grow back instantly, this is bad.

If you give Derpy a muffin, she will want another. When she wants another, she will want to be your friend. When she wants to be your friend, would you accept?

This changeling sure would love to have a friend, even a derpy mare like Derpy.

This story is based around not discriminating.

EDITED BY: David Brony

Derpy Hooves died a long time ago. She was in Canterlot for the royal wedding, and was one of many unfortunate casualties of the changeling invasion. Her daughter was not there to see Derpy die, but a changeling was there to see the filly lost and crying, stumbling after her mother but not seeing the body.

There was something in those keening cries and those wails of anguish that compelled the changeling to wipe the blood from her mouth and take on a new form. She had meant to take the filly to safety, to her family, to anywhere...

But Derpy was the only pony that little Dinky had. So the changeling stayed with the filly. Day after day, she would tell herself that this was it, that she knew ponies who could take Dinky in, who would be more than happy to. But day after day, the idea of returning to the Hive seemed more and more like a death sentence. She meant to return, she really did.

Until she didn't.

It has been three years since the Canterlot Wedding. Changeling spies have found the renegade that abandoned them at the height of their invasion. Chrysalis intends to punish this rebellion, either by public execution or by forcing Derpy to lead a charge on Ponyville.

But before the sentence is passed, Derpy is given the chance to speak to the Swarm.

Four days after the marriage of Shining Armor and Princess Cadence, as well as the defeat of Queen Chrysalis, Fluttershy receives a visit by Twilight. Twilight tells her that if she sees any changelings, she needs to tell her immediately, on Celestia's orders. Fluttershy, not wishing to do so, begins thinking about it, and the things she thinks of makes her anxious and uneasy. In doing so, she decides to take a walk into the Everfree Forest to calm her mind and enjoy the view. While admiring the scenery, she trips on something. Looking back, she finds something she feared having to find, for the risk of being shunned by her society-a hurt changeling. Because of the nature of Celestia's instructions, Fluttershy must make a tough decision: Whether to turn this changeling in or to bring it into her home to make it better.

The real question is will Fluttershy fall to the peer pressure of society, or will she do what her heart tells her is right?

I do not own the cover image, nor any of the characters displayed in this story (except for the changeling.)

With school in full force, you are just waiting for something, anything to happen to make this year different and more exciting than the previous year of high school. What you didn't expect to happen was turn into a miniature horse from your dreams in the middle of school...help?

Criticism is appreciated as I am a new writer and still learning.
Also this is not a 5s/4 fic or any other already existing universe.

Just my luck, I was run over by a semi truck and now I'm in Equestria as a draconequus. At least I'm not Discord, so that's a plus. Now, as a Spirit of Chaos I can use my powers for good and hopefully not abuse them like Discord did.
