“Real isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse. “It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.” -Margery Williams, The Velveteen Rabbit

Twilight Sparkle has come up with an inspired idea for Rainbow Dash’s birthday present, the best one she can imagine. She’s made a living, breathing copy of her favorite fictional character for her. The new pony has one goal in mind, and one purpose that crowds out all others: Be the best Daring Do she can be.

A collaborative work with the incomparable Eakin.

~ This is a side story to Luna Plays...

It has been months since Princess Luna has discovered video games, and it has been months since she found somepony worthy enough to challenge her; to meet her skills equally in virtual combat. But alas, she has beaten thousands of millions of players around the world, and not one of them came even close to her score. Shooters: she would take them down like a firing squad. Platforming: she already jumped her way to victory in ten seconds flat. Puzzles: outsmarted those poor gamers. Casual: too easy. Role-Playing Games: she's the highest level.

To Luna, multiplayer in video gaming was getting a tad bit boring, and she was desperately looking for somepony that could match her prowess. So you can imagine the joy of adrenaline she received when she met Button's mom online.

She was just trying to do her job: sell some tomatoes and get enough bits to meet her deadlines. But after being cheated into selling her tomatoes at a lower price by a certain pink pony, Roma's afternoon does nothing but go downhill.

How can a mare cope when her life is falling apart around her ears?

Winner of the June contest in The School for New Writers

Ponyville hospital has been looked at as a place where ponies go to get better. However, not everypony does. Nurse Redheart has witnessed the deaths of three patients in a single week and the emotional stress is too much for her to take. She decided to completely avoid seeing more deaths by leaving the hospital forever. She wasn't prepared to see so much death, but she also wasn't prepared for who she'd meet on her way home.

Submitted for the 31shotober challenge!

Trixie Lulamoon, she thought she had left all of Ponyville behind her. However, she cannot escape her past. When Twilight tries to jog her memories to remember where she got her injuries, it takes her back much, much farther than she could imagine.

Lyra, apart from one botched relationship and one level-headed friend who keeps her in check, has no social life. When she and said level-headed friend Bon-Bon move to Canterlot, she's forced by her to get her flank out the apartment and onto the night scene, where she meets a very interesting mare.

For Celestia, living forever isn't her curse. If immortality only include eternal life, she could handle that. What she can't deal with are the memories, or lack thereof. When her past escapes her day by day as the centuries progress, what will she have left?

Story is dedicated to Nightamarus. Keep on keeping on, dude.

Thanks to my editors Selbi and Trials, along with my prereader Skeeter The Lurker for all their help!

Mort, also known as the Pale Pony (of Death), has been tasked to take time off from his rigorous duties of reaping souls. Seeking guidance, he is directed towards the town of Ponyville, to learn about the magic of friendship from Twilight Sparkle and her friends. All he needs to do is keep his true nature a secret. That shouldn't be too difficult...right?

Special thanks to Specter-Von-Baren and Pyrite Foolsgold for their help in proofreading and editing this story, as I really needed it. Additional thanks to Pilate, Chuckle5, Unimpressive Vagaries and Admiral Biscuit as well! Couldn't have done it without all their help!

A dusty mirror, reflecting light from someplace unknown, was all I could see in this dark room. Little did I know, a beautiful being, pure black and full of contempt, would rescue me...

Made for the fun, pleasure, and enjoyment of (me) my audience!
