A pony sits at a bus stop in Manehattan, trying to stay out of the pouring rain. Her thoughts consume her, though she is by no means oblivious to everypony else around her. If only she could see the warm eyes that look at her with pity, maybe she could try and find some help. But that may never happen. She's so lost in herself that she can't even see what she's got in front of her.

The worst part is... It wasn't always like this.

Thalosaria is a beautiful planet on the brink of destruction. Why, you may ask? War. The Shaizhar - a peaceful feline like race bent on keeping their planet from evil. The Criujrib - lupine aliens who invaded and enslaved the Shaizhar. In this time of slavery, for many years the Shaizhar knew not how they could fight against the chains of oppression, until one finally stood up and said, "No." He started an uprising, and led his people out of the Criujrib city. He led them to their new village, Hovviwo. From there, they rebuilt their race, stronger, smarter, and angrier. This started an all-out war between the races. For nearly 2,000 years, they've battled against each other. The Talatoh plains, the area in between the Necvxouhk Forest and the Xemcudt Jungle. And they who control this land, control the world. With the Criujrib's technology, the Criujib have captured these plains, and now seek to lay siege to the Xemcudt Jungle, home to the Shaizhar. Two warriors of the Shaizhar show great promise to be heroes of their race; Rhulo Jeic and Haffoh Zunrhouboh are their names. Join them on their journey to fight for their people, and return the Shaizhar to their former glory. And the High Priest of the Shaizhar foretold in their language in the beginning, "I see strange creatures, ones I have not yet seen in my life. They are not from our world, nor do they bring bad tithings. I see a bright light and a colorful land, full of strange villages and creatures of the world like no other. I do not know what this means, but I do know that it will change the entire course of this war... For better, or for worse."

Universe… Unlimited space, the source of life and death, mother of all creation and destruction. Source of both religious beliefs and science. Nothing can be said for certain about this vast unshackled power except for one thing… It always naturally seeks balance, always manages events so that overall they lay in perfect harmony. However to reach such level of harmony a certain element must be introduced, as there cannot be order without chaos to fill the other side of scales. The balance of Equestria is dangerously disturbed as the only source of chaos, Discord, is trapped in stone. Even if freed Discord won't be able to stop the scales from falling. With no other options, the Universe brings forth a creature of pure Chaos, a human murderer and delusional psychopath, to even out the Scales of Balance in Equestria and destroy the blasphemous abominations... Destroy the Elements of Harmony...

Since I didn't feel there were any tags that matched the theme of this story, I made my own. Tag: [Motherhood] [A Parent's Love]

Love is one of those strange forces in nature that sometimes defies explanation. An old saying says that parents love their children, no matter what. Rainbow Dash is a rambunctious, wild, and rebellious filly that wants to live her life her own way. Her mother just wants her to go to school and get an education so that she can have a good life. Will Rainbow Dash's wild attitude sever the ties that bind a filly and her mother, or can Rainbow's mother weather the storm and still be a good mom to her daughter?

This story was inspired by "Love You Forever" by Robert Munsch. I had not heard the story for several years before I wrote this, and forgot what it was called. However the story was so powerful I could never forget it.

Rainbow Dash finds herself in the middle of a place filled with people she does not recognize, using technology she does not understand. Upon trying to discover the truth, she is met with a terrifying realization. Now, she must make her way through a new landscape with the culture of an entirely new race surrounding her.

This storyline serves as an opportunity to meld the science fiction of Philip K Dick's novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" with the fantasy world of My Little Pony.

Thanks to my friend Pirate for helping me proofread and concept-check Chapter 5!)

The tales of Equestria series is a series that first depicts things before Luna was banished to the moon, and before Discord was sealed away, and ties that in with the events of the present.

This includes the return of and friends and old enemies, all who are lead by an evil Alicorn who plots to overthrow Celestia and rule Equestria.

Spike has just woken up from his hundred-year sleep and realized that none of his friends are around anymore. He is deeply stricken with grief. Can a letter from his wife Rarity, gifts from his friends, and a poem from Twilight Sparkle help ease the pain of their loss?

The cover picture was drawn by Azzurgil on deviant art (http://azzurgil.deviantart.com/). I really enjoyed her work because she does a lot of dragon art (which I am a huge fan of). This story was preread by Criticul94 and Taranasaurus0.0. Not only are these guysawesome prereaders, but they are great writers. Check their stuff out!

When I was writing this story I didn't mean for it to take the turn that it did, however a personal event that happened in my life made this what it is. I hope those that read it enjoy it.

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

*6-16-2017 Edit, added Rainbow Dash tag because it triggered knighty.*

He is a college drop-out part-time worker. He is a dentistry student. Together, they are two total twats with no ambitions to go further then the next game, comic book or puff.

And now, they are ponies. Under the names of Lucky Chance and Midnight Watch they must find a way back to the human world using their extensive knowledge of the television show, the Laws of Narrative and sarcasm.
Will they be able to rise above themselves and face the many challenges that await them? Will they be able to figure out the true meaning of Friendship? Will they be able to not murder each other or themselves while doing so? Do they even want to go back?
