It's just a sleepover, The Cutie Mark Crusader way.

Celestia has taught many students, which she has a candle to remember them by. Every know and then, she lights a candle to remember them by.

Just where are Scootaloo's parents and why doesn't she ever talk about them? Sadly the answer to both questions is because they have passed on. Join Scootaloo as she pays her annual visit to the graves of her two parents...and learn a little something about her and her family in the process.

When Ruby boards the first trans-oceanic flight in Equestrian history, the last place she expects to end up is stranded in the middle of Eternity's Crossing in the wake of a horrific zeppelin crash. After a mysterious tower leads her and a fellow survivor to discover a twisted and fragmented city twenty thousand feet below the surface of the ocean, though, a bit of fire and smoke is the last thing she needs to worry about. Between the horrendously disfigured residents and the paranoia of the madmare who once built and controlled it, daily survival in this corrupted utopia is anything but a guarantee. But with the help of some new friends and a few genetic enhancements, Ruby isn't going down without a fight, and in the process might just discover that the deadliest weapon in Harmony is herself.

Author's Notes:
What happens when you're bored out of your mind in the middle of class and have that song played on repeat after looking at a awesome comment? This. That's what.

This is possibly the fastest, craziest and most random fanfic I have ever written. The idea wouldn't get out of my head so I did what any self-respecting writer would do: Make the craziest fanfic I could think of. I also used it to see what it would be like to do most of the story in uninterrupted dialogue. Regardless I hope you all enjoy this piece of...whatever this is.
