Memory. I don't have any. All I know about my past is what this pony named Twilight is telling me. Apparently my name is Rainbow dash, and that's all I understand. Everything else is either too confusing or she won't tell me. Every time I do something in front of her, she just looks at me disappointed. Should I be worried? What am I doing wrong? I can't help but feel, I'm not who I was. I just want to make everything the way they say it was again, but, how?

P.S. I changed my name, so I was once shyguyp1nki3p13.

In a stroke of luck, Rarity finds herself piled up to her neck in work. She tries to recruit the aid of her best friends, but they too have become highly preoccupied. All except for Ponyville's modest blonde-maned apple bucker. The two have never been really close, but who know what could happen over just a little bit of dirt?

There are things you just don't say. Some lines you just don't cross, ever. The reason you don't cross them is because of empathy: you know how bad it feels to hear certain things, and you know you wouldn't like it if you heard it yourself. This is a view not shared by everypony.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon crossed the line. Rarity learns of it. Rarity is not amused.

Everypony draws their line in the sand somewhere.

Disclaimer: contains Rarity in a state of barely lucid rage as well as the use of harsh words. Also Cheerilee being as effective as she is in the show, on average. If you do not enjoy episodes like Ponyville Confidential or any other episode where ponies talk harshly to each other, chances are this'll ruffle some feathers.

If this resembles real life situations or anyone you know, this is not the author's intent nor the author's problem.

Added notice 10/12/13: No, not based on any Season 4 storyline or spoilers, it's an old idea. The spoiler just prompted the publishing.

Added 2021 notice: please check the author's notes before commenting, chances are you'll find some answers there.

Luna and Twilight are sunk into a fractured, feudal world, where the knowledge of magic is lost. Penniless and depleted, they're forced into playing by other ponies' rules, all the while trying to discover even where home is.

Rainbow Dash was the greatest flier in all of Equestria—or, at least, she was until she lost her wing. Luckily though, she quickly learned that flying wasn't the only thing that could bring her happiness and comfort.

Thanks to the amazing Cynical and bats for the edits.

Proofread: Timaeus
Edit: The Abyss

Twilight Sparkle summons Fluttershy and Pinkie over when she has a new spell that should let her see into different realities. She wants to see if there was really an endless number of possible realities. Pinkie ends up having Twilight royally mess up the spell; it gets overcharged and switches their Fluttershy for a different reality's Fluttershy.

Both Fluttershys have to adjust to their new lives, all while Twilight tries to find a way to switch them back.

After Trixie's second humiliation at the hooves of Twilight Sparkle, she once more went into self-imposed exile. Given her enslavement of Ponyville, Celestia has reservations about letting the charlatan unicorn go, but Twilight assures her mentor that Trixie has learned her lesson in the power of friendship.

Twilight is wrong. When Trixie returns, it will not be about how magic should be used or about amulets. It's about having nothing to lose and survival, and only one of the unicorns--Twilight or Trixie--is walking away from this one.
