Twilight has always had a facianation for strange magics. Anything new, she instantly tries to find real world scenarios to use them. But during one of her bi-weekly sleepovers with Rarity and Applejack, she stubles onto an old magic book in the basement while playing hide and seek, its title reads "The Art and Form of Mind Swapping." Shenanigans will ensue.

Congratulations on choosing this, the first edition of A Brief History of Equestria!

For far to long, the vitally important role of educating our foals of the history of our nation has been delegated to Folk Lore and word of mouth, while the realities of the past have been documented, stored and educated only to the elite. It is therefore the intent of myself, the Royal Historical Society, and the Royal Ministry of Education to provide the common pony with access to a document that offers as full a history of Equestria as can be practically provided, which is the tome you now hold in your hooves.

Keep in mind that no single book cannot replace a properly structured and scheduled classroom on the subject, and while an Encyclopedia format would give a much more comprehensive narrative, the copious amounts of information would render the exercise counter-productive. As such, this book can only give what amounts to a summary of an abridged version at best. It is my hope that everypony who reads this gains an insatiable thirst for more. Hopefully with further editions, more knowledge can be included, along with a collection of tie-in texts that focus more closely on specific areas of interest.

-Twilight Sparkle, M.B.A., on behalf of the Royal Ministry of Education.

OST

Diamond Tiara finally gets what's coming to her, but Apple Bloom never wanted for it to turn out like this...

Watch as Diamond Tiara rethinks her life and decides what is actually important.

Rainbow Dash is missing in action, right after Pinkie Pie debuts a new line of pastries. Coincidence? (Yes.) Armed with a half-read copy of Sweeneigh Todd, the Cutie Mark Crusaders are out to uncover the grim truth!

Or, more likely, embarrass themselves.

If death came knocking, would you choose to die as yourself today or as an empty shell in four?... This is my story, of my death and love of my best friend.

What happens when you discover that your most private of sanctuaries is no longer there? Two beings, one man and one pony, learn just that when they find that their bathrooms are no longer their own. How do these beings handle this strange occurrence and will they let it get in their way?

Since This isn't my bathroom! did so well and I was told by many to do more, I have transformed this into a short series where one poor man will be subjected to more room swaps than should ever happen. Yes, the first addition to the bathroom is the kitchen..

Rainbow Dash knows that she's done something absolutely deplorable when she lets her rage get the best of her, and it seems to her like the only thing she can do is run away. Can she sort out her feelings before things go too far, or will her friends have to deal with two losses?

An alternate series of events from "The Last Roundup."

Rarity wakes up to what she thought would be the perfect day off. But of course, there's one problem. She's apparently put on weight, which is an unparalleled disaster for a pony with her heart set on showing off her new dress. She endeavours to get rid of those extra pounds as quickly as possible. Chaos ensues.

Spike has grown up and now has to live outside of Ponyville, since his size would only cause damage around the village. Many things have happened as he grew up; friends were made and lost, ponies changed and now he's here to tell the story about not only him, but the stuff he learned as time passed by.

The trip back to Ponyville from the middle of the desert is long, leaving one with plenty of time for their thoughts.
