"It's so nice to see you again!" said the thing that was not Celestia. "Oh yes, I know who you are, Twilight Sparkle. I had a taste of your magic the first time we met. Mortals forget things so easily, I find. Allow me to refresh your memory: you tried to kill me. But you failed, Twilight Sparkle. You only mostly killed me. And I guess that makes you one very unlucky little pony."

Having returned to Canterlot for official purposes, Twilight and Spike grow increasingly ready to go back home to Ponyville. Yet, when Twilight recognizes signs of distress in the Sister Sovereigns, the princesses Celestia and Luna, her curiosity gets the better of her.

What she finds shows her more about her teacher than she could have dreamed...yet places her in tremendous danger...

Luna has had enough of Celestia's games, and has found the perfect means of revenge. Using a long-forbidden spell, she transforms her sister into little more than a small filly, all so she could pull the greatest prank ever. Unfortunately, she soon learns that before you fool around with dangerous magic, you really need to read the fine print...

A sequel can be found here.

It's been more than a year since Princess Luna's return to Equestria, and she is making great strides in her language skills. And along with this come a slew of new writing skills.

However, Celestia may have a few objections once she finds out just WHAT Luna has been writing...

Twilight Sparkle is whisked away to the utopian city of Canterlot, where she has been invited to participate in the legendary Aura Bloom magic competition. While there, she runs into an old nemesis.

Josh Schwartz is a normal human with a normal life. He has his computer, his TV, his pet cat, his love of sports, the works. Naturally, he doesn't approve or enjoy girly things that are obviously made for girls. However, when a mysterious and unexplainable series of events takes place, he finds himself in Equestria, a world with no humans and only ponies...well, mostly ponies. How will this sarcastic human boy adapt to this new world? And how will its residents take to their new visitor?

In a world filled with unruly people, that pushes you around and treats you like trash specially when you're parents are both dead... life seemed to be turning out to be a cruel joke... but, despite the cruelty and tears we received and made... Sometimes... all we need, is a little kindness...

Christian was a hard working 20 year old boy, who's really down on his luck. He was broke, still at college and has a lot of problems... That all changed when he found a small Creature in a basket within his ruined house, thats all so yellow and pink hair to match... To his surprise, it was the last thing he expected to see in his entire life!

(Inspired by the story "My Little Dashie" and the reason im writing story through and through!)

(This was the idea of a guy named "Christian Mariano" He told me a story that made me write this, i just changed some of his dialect and a small reference to the story My Little Dashie:.. The credit goes to him not me, And for the record.. The picture is not mine as well)

Celestia knew this day would come. He would return and have revenge. And all she could do was think back to the old times. She loved him, but when she broke his heart, she never knew he would become a monster. This is the story of a love that could never be, a hateful villain tucked in the shadows, setting her plans in motion, and a kingdom that watched in horror as everything plunged into chaos. [New Alt. U Tag] [COMPLETE!!!]

Fresh out of the academy, two rookie recruits find that the glory and honor of serving the princess ends up landing them in the scariest and most awkward situation in their lives.
