This story is a sequel to An Apple Sleep Experiment

It’s been seven years since the great massacre, and ponies are still trying to cope in the aftermath. Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship, and her friends (minus one obvious apple) are preparing for the annual memorial, when an unexpected castle guest threatens to disrupt the peace in Ponyville forever.

This is the OFFICIAL Sequel to my previous story "An Apple Sleep Experiment", both of which have audio/visual adaptations on Youtube! For the sequel, it will be in four parts, linked here:

Twilight Sparkle reluctantly embarks on a journey to Hoofington to learn the magic of friendship. However, she instead finds herself in the ghetto that is Ponyville, where friendship has taken a back seat to "Sweets" addictions and violent power struggles. Will Twilight be able to complete her quest among the jaded denizens of Ponyville or just be caught in the crossfire?

Twilight always gets the same things at Sugarcube Corner, but there's something new and tremendously popular on the menu today! Everypony just loves it! The Green Tea Matcha Crueller may be a limited time only pastry... or maybe it will stay for a very, very long time.

One special night at the Grand Gallaping Gala. Every pony, changeling, and other creatures were invited for this special occasion. Twilight and Thorax were also invited to this special evening at Canterlot Castle as they were ready for the evening of their lives.

Rated T and Sex tag for fluff and innuendo.

When Rarity and Rainbow dash come back from Manehattan with some news about a familiar performing unicorn, Twilight goes to investigate what lies are being told now. Especially when they're about the princess herself.

Rarity gets invited to a fashion show from an old friend, she's all excited but the only thing she needs in order to be there is an assistant to which she asks Twilight if she can borrow Spike. Much will ensue on the way and at the fashion show...but what?

Their world is ending.

In a cyberpunk-esque sort of futuristic world, Vinyl Scratch has reached a high point of her career, becoming the main attraction to the infamous CyberLink club, a fortress made of glass and neon lights. One day, the illusive owner of the club, a man named Bass Leader, calls Vinyl up to his office. He tells her two things: the augments that the majority of people have are causing widespread sterility and that he wants her to watch over his daughter, Octavia, who is pure flesh and blood.

However, when Empress Celestia tasks the fiercely loyal Rainbow Dash with finding the pure humans, is there any place to hide?

Coco Pommel arrives in Ponyville with a problem, and there's only one pony that can help: Fluttershy. Rarity and Fluttershy travel back with her to Manehattan to prepare for her fashion show.
