A series of moments from Derpy's life, most of them less than cheerful.

Sorry.

Celestia's Academy for Gifted Unicorns.

The name has bothered Luna for the longest of times. She'd seen pony after pony stride in and out of the castle- coming in with dreams of working beside their princess and making their parents proud. But what kind of message did it send when they were not accepted? You're not gifted.

Luna chances upon a pony that might just be the friend she needs to get on her feet after the events of Nightmare Moon and restore the Element of Harmony long forgotten and long been kept from all the ponies who have gone unseen for all these years.

Luna's Academy for Forgotten Ponies.

This story is being revamped! It's been a whole year since I finished this story and wow it was a pleasure to write. But a year of writing and growing older hopefully has given me some new tricks up my sleeve to making this story more wonderful than I thought it was when I first wrote it.
A big thank you to everyone who enjoyed this story when it began, and I hope you are all looking forward to this in time.

Princess Celestia always knew that Twilight Sparkle was destined for great things, but she never revealed the source of that knowledge, not even to those closest to her. When the day of Twilight's true destiny finally arrives, can Celestia fulfill an ancient promise to save Equestia's past, present, and future, even it means saying goodbye to Twilight forever? How can Celestia refuse her mother's last wish?

Donnie! What the shell did that thing do to us!? Where are we!?

I-I don't know! That wasn't supposed to happen! It must've malfunctioned!

Calm down, Raph.

Why should I!? It's his fault we're here in...God knows where!

But...I...

Dudes...I don't think we're in New York anymore...

Discord was defeated. Villains always are. It’s really quite cliché.

Before he lost, he asked himself a question: what if your virtues went out of control, rather than your flaws? Perhaps if the heroes and villains weren't so clear-cut, the conclusion wouldn't be so inevitable. If nothing else, there would be some fun chaos along the way!

Can the main six find a way to undo Discord's magic, in spite of themselves and each other?

Disclaimer; I have been working on this for a while, and the writing at the beginning is not as good as the writing later. Hopefully it is not too great of an impediment to the story.

Editing by Meta Four, ocalhoun, Kuroi Tsubasa Tenshi, Sessalisk, Sereg, and JapaneseTeeth, all of whom are amazing. Go shower them with admiration!

Alternate cover by sstwins! Unfortunately I couldn't use it since it compresses badly on fimfic, but still worth a look!

One of Equestria's greatest traits is tolerance. Every pony, whether Unicorn, Pegasus, or Earth, is accepted for who they are, and have their own parts to play in keeping Equestria running.

But what if an Earth pony decided he didn't want to play his assigned part? What if he wanted to rise above everyone else and become an Alicorn? Such a thing is possible... but the path to fulfilling one's dreams is never simple. Risks must be taken. Sacrifices must be made. And the question is always asked: How far would you go to get what you wanted? And would you be willing to pay a terrible price to get it?

Sometimes the gift a pony needs the most is the one they don't know to ask for.

When a freak reading accident causes Twilight to be admitted to the Ponyville hospital, Rainbow Dash is right by her side. Compelled by a sense of duty and repayment, she takes it upon herself to cheer up her friend.

“Okay, how about you come with me,” Soarin said hastily, not sure if he was motivated by a strange desire to save the castle’s glassware or by the chance to spend some more time with the borderline insane yet beautiful mare next to him.
“Where?” She asked, looking up from the glass she had sentenced to ‘Smashy-time.’

Rainbow Dash learns why it's good fun to get drunk at your best friend's brother's wedding. Good company doesn't hurt either.

A love triangle is made as Carrot Top and Little Strongheart compete for Braeburn's affection, and life will never be the same again! Derpy gets a taste of cowpony life as she integrates herself into a new town and Dinky will never be taken seriously with her mother around to treat her like a foal.
