Anyone at Crystal Prep who knew Twilight Sparkle would never assume that this shy bookworm with top grades in all subjects could hold something evil within.

Thus, when said bookworm turned into Midnight Sparkle under the influence of the magic she released, everyone present was shocked to see their classmate become a callous and ruthless she-demon.

Nobody could understand: why? Twilight wasn't evil... was she?

Failing to understand the reasons behind that horrific transformation, Rainbooms and Shadowbolts decided to ask the newest CHS student herself about that. Initially reluctant, Twilight agrees, revealing the side of her that no one had suspected to exist...

A young boy in the city dreams of seeing the stars through the smog. Far away, somepony hears his dreams.

Speedwrite on a whim after having a fleeting thought upon sending a friend a picture of the night sky I took while on vacation once. Well, if you can call about three, four, hours a speedwrite.

The spell was lifted, her friends had been sent home, and her student had learned her lesson. 

In theory, everything should be fine. At least, that’s what Twilight kept telling herself. The Fiducia Compelus episode was nothing more than a mistake, and once apologies were handed out tomorrow, everypony would be able to put it behind them. Everything was absolutely fine. 

Why, then, were there sobs coming from Starlight’s room?

The original speedwrite (in author's notes) was written for the Quills and Sofa's "Time Pressure" Speedwrite Contest, on August 29, 2023. I've polished this a bit more for publish!

Sunset sits alone in a coffee shop, nervously awaiting her friends' arrival. Despite everything they've been through in the last few months, she can't help but feel like she was making a huge mistake. For what she was about to tell them could make or break their friendship.

This story is a sequel to Freezer Burned

Apple Bloom suspected Applejack's strange behaviors lately, including going out late at night before supper. She couldn't figure out why.

When she and her two best friends saw the Diamond Bandit (who bears much resemblance to her sister) from a T.V. show called Equestria's Most Wanted, she and her friends were shocked beyond belief.

Apple Bloom refused to believe it. There's no way Applejack is a thief.

...is she?

Constructive criticism welcomed!

Zipp has been acting strange lately. The looks she gives her friends, her movements, the fact she is barely sleeping. Something is wrong with her.

So when the pegasus princess suddenly vanishes, it is up to her friends to find her and try to figure out what is wrong with her.

Can they find her and stop whatever is troubling Zipp? Or will their friend fall to what she fears most: Herself
