"Did I ever tell you about

the night

that the mannequin came to life

and haunted

all... the... costumes...?"

Cover art is a cropped version of a work by Xenon.

Have you ever woke up in the middle of the night and felt uneasy? In the quiet of night, when everyone is asleep, and the world is dark, what could be going on in those shadows that surround you as you lay in bed? What could have caused that noise downstairs? Did you leave the door open? Do you dare get up?

Rarity wakes from a bad dream in the middle of the night, only to find herself feeling that the nightmare isn't over.

Two children in a war zone find themselves orphaned and fending for themselves. While foraging for food amongst the rubble, they find two unexpected things; a pink pony plushie and something else, altogether more sinister.

To find out more about the evil pony they were warned about, Izzy and Sunny seek out the legendary Princess Twilight Sparkle herself for answers. More specifically, how to find the evil pony and win her over to the side of good with the power of friendship.

They quickly realise that, contrary to what Twilight wrote in her Friendship Journals and what was depicted in Sunny’s favourite cartoon growing up, ‘Guardians of Harmony: The Power of Friendship’, some of Twilight’s foes that eventually became friends didn’t do so of their own accord.

Under the impression that they are lucky, since rarely do mares ever give birth to twins, the Cakes decide to have another go at the whole having-a-baby thing.

They could not have anticipated the result.

Inspired by "Born of Man and Woman" by Richard Matheson.
