When Sweetie overhears a weird noise coming from Rarity's room, she decides to investigate. What she finds will change her perception of Rarity forever. Or not. And then her secret comes out. Which causes a cascade effects of secrets, each more shocking than the last.

A short little story I wrote because I was bored. This is what happens when I decide to put my own little spin on the whole, "Rarity is a marshmallow" thing.

Have you ever felt like you've waited too long to make a confession? Spike is one dragon who has, and now he writes a letter to the love of his life, all in the hope that he isn't too late. That she isn't already taken.

It's time once again for Nightmare Night and the citizens of Ponyville are ready for another night of candy, costumes, ghost stories, and more. After Twilight Sparkle taught her the true meaning of Nightmare Night one year prior, Princess Luna takes the day off from her royal duties and joins in the festivities. But when Ponyville suddenly comes under attack by a mysterious force, Luna is discovered missing in the aftermath. What's more, this force is being commanded by a malicious creature wielding a terrible power that the ponies have actually heard of, but know nothing about.

Once again, Twilight and her friends must take up the Elements of Harmony in defense of everything they hold dear, but if Equestria is to have any real hope of surviving against this force, the ponies must first unravel the mysteries of the power that threatens them.

The time-stamp for Act 1 - The First Adventure is wrong. I revised it and re-released it on 3/1/15.

It's five years in the future, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders have changed a lot over the years.
Sweetie Belle is living with Rarity while her parents are traveling abroad.
Apple Bloom is working her hardest to keep her family and farm from falling apart.
Scootaloo now lives with Rainbow Dash ever since the tragedy that happened one year ago.
Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom both attend the Ponyville Academy of Higher Learning.

But strange things are occurring at this institution of knowledge. Diamond Tiara is worse that ever (no surprise there), and a certain teacher seems to despise them.

Little do they know the dark forces that lurk close.

Flagged as teen due to some non-child friendly fight content.

Trixie is tired of being the cast-off and the laughing stock of Equestria. When she gets her hooves on a rare spell, she finally has the means to seek her revenge on Princess Twilight. Switching their bodies, Trixie becomes an overbearing royal overlord who wants everything her way. In the meantime, Twilight is stuck in Trixie's body and the Mane 6 have all been scrambled. Twilight and her friends have to find the answers to this puzzling spell before Trixie ruins Equestria for everypony!

My first Rainbow Rocks Remix! I did'nt like everything about the RR shorts, so I'm making my own versions! This one is Rarity's, hope you enjoy!!
I know she's not a princess, she is just elegant like one.

Royal lunch. Why does it seem like the Royal Sisters get into endless trouble, even during lunch? Anyway, Celestia gets a carrot stuck in her nose. Luna laughs.

What if Discord had not been turned to stone by the Mane 6? What if he had escaped?
It is three years later and the Mane 6 have moved on with their lives, all except Fluttershy, who cannot get the draconequus out of her mind. The others are happy in their new and comfortable lives, until their enemy returns and will only relieve Equestria of his havoc in exchange for a bride.

*Bronyland Pony Awards Nominee 2013

A luxury cruise is attacked in the middle of a voyage by a vicious sea serpent. As many ponies flee for their lives, eight ponies end being left behind. Finding what seems to be their only chance for survival, can they decide who should be saved and who should be forgotten? And even more important: which of them will make the sacrifice needed for the others to survive?

This story is a Christian moral tale. Please take this into account before reading.

As the age of Equestria gives way to the era of Ponyland, Princess Cadence looks at a changing world around her, and remembers a world that will never be again. Feeling ponykind cannot survive without the six harmony bearers, Cadence tries to re-shape six modern mares into the equines their ancestors once were. But is this what Ponyland needs, or is it a Princess who just cannot let go? *starring the Original mane six, as they were intended to be*
