A few months after the events of Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000, Applejack decides to officially integrate the others into her family with an Apple tradition: a long night of cider drinking.

The next morning Applejack wakes up...in Twilight's bed...with a gold band on her hoof...and a legally binding document on the bedside table...

A haze of memories of things thought to be fantasy and fiction.

A physical world so real that every breath drawn is another step towards death.

Which one do you believe?

Twilight wakes up and finds out that she's changed back into a filly! What kind of trouble will she get into? How will her friends react?

The human planewalker Anonymous has lived by his wits for millenia, but now he seems to have hit the blinds at last; he's out of options, out of rope, out of friends. That's until an unexpected helping hoof comes in the form of a brightly-coloured equine delegation from one Princess Celestia, offering him a cordial invitation to her realm. He takes to the adorable ponies and their lovely homeland pretty quick - at least it surely beats the fate that awaited him in the Lady's shadow. For their part, the ponies are excited to have such an unusual guest, and naturally they offer him the warmest welcome they know how. But what does the princess want with him, and when it's time to pay the music, will he be able to afford the price?

Many people yearn for adventure, wanting to become the hero of a story that would go down in history. You were one of them, wanting fame and fortune along with a tale worthy of a book. But after a taste, you realize just why there aren't more adventure stories that end well.

Trapped in Equestria with no where else to go, you agree to become the partner of the famous and aptly named Daring Do.

You starring as Anonymous

Twilight Sparkle had always loved dancing. However, she was never very good at it, so she contented herself to watch others. When she heard that Princess Luna was starting Equestria's first ever annual "Lunaris Absolvo" Dance competition she immediately wanted to enter, but remembering all of her past attempts at dancing, with her birthday party being the most recent, she realized she would be laughed out of the competition before the first song even ended. But then she found a tutor in a pony she least expected.

Strange discoveries. Mysterious twitching. The curious feeling of being watched. And a sudden urge to sing. Something's happening to Applejack, and no matter how often she laughs, this is no laughing matter!

The Canterlot Caverns are a strange and enigmatic place, untouched and forgotten by pony-kind for centuries. So when a strange metal object is unearthed in their depths, it's up to Twilight Sparkle and Lyra Heartstrings to discover the many secrets it holds.

Together, the two of them will have to do their best to understand the remnants of an ancient civilization, and decipher what remains of Those Who Came Before.

Proofreading was performed by the equally fantastical writers:

And a special Thank You goes to The Sentient Cloud for allowing me the honor of continuing this great story after he retired from writing fimfictions.

As it turns out, this story is eerily similar to Lyra Heartstrings and the Hand of Man. Due to their similarity, I feel that it would be appropriate to give said story a mention.

Twilight Sparkle has always admired Princess Celestia. Her fortitude, her wisdom, her eternal grace and love for all her subjects. Twilight has often fantasized about what it would be like to be in Princess Celestia's horseshoes. She never imagined those fantasies would come true.

Rainbow is confident and cool when faced with the prospect of dating, especially if it's just to test the waters. So why is she acting like this?
