Just how different are mares and stallions in approaching friendship problems?

Twilight and Spike intend to find out, and it seems like the perfect excuse to jump into an alternate universe. Specifically, one where everypony was born the opposite gender.

Candlelight Sonata was not sure what to expect when she was asked by the Stable Heartmender to assist a pony who recently was rescued from slavers. What she found, to her surprise, was something that helped her with her own fears, and somepony that helps see the colours in the world.

A head full of romance is what many Canterlot ponies would call a frivolous waste of time. Everypony was meant to play by the rules of high society: keep your nose in the air, laugh at important ponies' jokes, and attend all of the right parties. Upper Crust and Jet Set had been diligent in raising their daughter Crystal Wishes to be a pony everypony would know, but she wanted more out of life than that. She hoped she would someday meet a handsome prince and fall in love, just like in the stories she wrote.

Crystal knew life wasn't as easy as a foal's tale, but that didn't stop her from dreaming. All of the wishes, hopes, and dreams inside her heart escaped into her precious notebook as she wrote about princesses in power and dashing knights. So long as nopony found out her secret, she could continue to play the part of a dutiful daughter while waiting for her own love story to begin.

As fate would have it, Twilight had to hatch a much bigger egg this time.

Set shortly after the season 5 premiere, but before episode three

Romance tag readded due to a lack of a certain mare having a ship in the finale.

Normally, Ken wouldn't have minded finding an excuse to get out of school. However, being hit by a car and suddenly waking up as a strange four legged creature with purple fur, wings and a horn is not something he'd have chosen just to play hooky.

Now in a world he continually doesn't understand and makes him... now a her, want to pull her hair out, Ken must learn how to coincide with the creatures of Equestria, while finding her place in this bizare world that defies all senses of logic she was raised with. On top of that, she's now apparently a princess and has to deal with nobles fawning over her, including one male who she knows is definitely just trying to get into her new female parts to breed, and she'll have none of that.

Of all the things she could've chosen to get out of school, this was definitely not one of them and she just wants to go back to normal. Sadly, that doesn't seem likely to happen any time soon.

Though not pertaining to the main character, Romance tag does still apply to other characters in this story. It's just the Tag Limiter wouldn't let me keep Romance Tag after I edited the description a little, so had to remove the tag, even if it still holds some small weight on the story.

Featured again? Really? Thank you guys, so much

Being the Royal Advisor for Celestia and Luna, you've come up with solutions for many of the nation's problems.

Unfortunately you said a naughty word in front of a guard. Seeing as how these ponies are extremely sensitive, you lie your way out of it.

The events that follow could only be described as "completely stupid".

Rated Teen for naughty words being said.

Thanks to Zephyr for editing.

Good thing I was reading this on the toilet, because this story made me lose my shit. -LeoneHaxor

Author's Note: After reading the story "What the frick!?" I decided to try my hoof at transformation, seeing as I constantly switch between pony and human. But anyways, back to the point: I'm not planning to work on this very hard, at the time of upload, but I WILL work in it. But, who knows? If it picks up traction, I may devote more time to it. Well never mind that! This story is taking more priority!
Also, bat ponies are cool! Did you know they litterally sleep like bats? How cool is that!?! (Note to self, set the TARDIS TCC to "thestral" and skip to nightmare night)

I am Diana Zediker, and I live in a lonely house in the middle of, what I like to call, "nowhere Oregon" with my uncle. Then, I met him. Man is he dreamy! But, 2 minutes and one bite later, my life gets turned on its head, I'm not normal anymore, I'll (probably) never see my uncle again, and now I have fangs. All in the span of two minutes.

Equestria was a world of relative peace and plenty, where the various monsters were, if not subdued, then at least manageable. The ponies and their princesses had things more or less under control. Limitless Saga was an MMORPG, a game that was insanely popular worldwide. The Riders Of Rohan, the most respected and popular guild in the game, was doing well, even if their founder and guildmaster, Shadowfax, was preparing to log off for the final time. It was Trickster's Day, and April Fool's Day, days on both worlds for pranks and merriment. No one suspected that a well-intentioned mistake would throw everything into chaos, and change the lives of everyone involved forever...

This is the first Chronicle of Rohan, the story of the events leading up to, and following, The Brand New Day. The day when everything ended, and when everything began anew...
---------------------------------------
A story in an episodic format, if this turns out to be popular, then there will be a second and third book after this one is completed, if not more.

Princess Luna still feels alone, nineteen years after her return to Equestria . But when she finds a friend in an online game, everything seems better. She can be herself without worrying about what others think, and she can finally talk to another pony, even if he never knows who she really is.

Celestia is worried about her sister, especially right now. Upcoming peace talks with a powerful new nation mean that all the Princesses need to be completely ready. With her Luna so absorbed in a fantasy world, she wonders how she'll make it through the harrowing weeks to come.

Button Mash feels like a failure. He's still living at home, he still can't find work that can use his degree from the university, and he still feels alone. His friends are getting married, starting families, and thriving in their careers. On the plus side, he plays games regularly, and his best friend is a mare, even if she doesn't know his name. He hopes that his upcoming vacation to Canterlot might help his mindset.

But, unbeknownst to all of them, a sinister web within a dark plot threatens to ensnare Equestria... And Luna may be the only one able to stop it.

She may face it alone, or maybe she'll have some help from her knight in faded armor...

When Wreck-it-Ralph finds a villain character who seems to have gone Turbo, he finds more than a handful in the handful sized sprite.
For one thing, she has no idea what game she comes from.
For another, her code seems completely foreign to the Arcade.
For a third...she's absolutely adorable.
Having only just finished cleaning up after King Candy's mess, this little Nightmare could be a problem...or the greatest blessing Ralph has ever received.
And shadows from the past move behind the scenes...
