This is an idea that wouldn't leave my head, inspired by Fairy Slayer's "Mommy Nearest," Aldea Donder's "Alicorn," SoundofRainfall's "Play" and RainbowDoubleDash's "Lunaverse"

Alternate Universe: Instead of Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia made Rainbow Dash her personal student instead! Follow her through the events of the 1,000th Summer Sun Celebration. A reimagining of "Friendship is Magic"

This is the moment that she has been waiting years for.

After all this time, Equestria's new ruler pays a visit to her most valuable prisoner to fully map out her failure. Years of deception, manipulation, and betrayals have led to this one moment, and she intends to savor every look that crosses the Princess of Friendship's face.

And after, when the alicorn truly understands how perfectly she was played, there will still be one final bit of business that needs to be settled...

My first new story since October 2017, and Day One of the Seventh Anniversary Story Bomb.

Rainbow Dash has been called into Spitfire's office to be told that she's fired from the Wonderbolts.

Spike led Thorax into the throne room of the Crystal Castle confident he could convince the others that the changeling could be trusted. That he meant no harm, and instead wanted to be an ally and live peacefully with them. That he could make them see Thorax for what he really was. That they could befriend the changeling and accept him as one of their own.

They didn't.

And consequences followed.

It had been a long day of saving the world, and the usually perky pony wanted nothing more than to collapse into bed.

Unfortunately, somepony's waiting at Sugarcube Corner.

Pinkie was fine. She just needed to sleep.

With a review by the Royal Canterlot Library

Spike has often felt hindered throughout his life, especially after moving to Ponyville. He took pride in being Twilight's number one assistant, but there were plenty of times where he felt like an errand boy. One who got into situations that required him being saved. A recent development has changed things however. Not to a grand scale, but it was still significant. And he loved it. So much that he needed to enjoy it. And the night was a perfect time for it.

Vinyl Scratch's entire world, and self-respect and confidence, are shattered after she is raped in Canterlot. Saved by Octavia Philharmonica, the two mares struggle to make it through the pain of life with the memories of the past.

Set in a close-to-modern Equestria, in the same storyline and universe as Rekindling. Both stories will be entwined.

P.S. Wow! I certainly was not expecting such a big response in such a short time to this story, but I am immensely grateful! This is giving me a lot of motivation to keep on going.

If anyone would like to edit, or give ideas for the story, feel free to PM me at any time!

The sun is shining, the birds are singing. When Fluttershy stepped out of her cottage it was a perfect summer day. Or at least it would have been if she hadn't come across a certain rainbow-maned mare in her yard. One thing she wasn't expecting to find herself asking today was the odd question...

Why is Rainbow Dash eating her flowers?

What's the worst part of being the Head of Obstetrics for Manehattan General? If you were to ask Doctor Bedside Manner, it would be having to break bad news to expectant parents, especially when said parents are considered VIPs. So of course, when a famous fashion designer's sonogram reveals a foal that looks shockingly bizarre it falls to Bedside Manner to deliver the unpleasant news.

Princess Luna is going to have a foal, and the big day isn’t far away.

With little time left before the young one arrives, she finds herself having to cope with the realities of carrying a foal inside her as well as confronting all those issues that only an expectant alicorn can ever fully understand.

Now a brilliant dramatic reading by the wonderful Agent Fluffy!
Thank you so very much!

This can be read as a stand-alone story or continued to its sequel Luna's Foal.

Please note: The artwork is not mine, but one of my favorite ever pictures of Luna. It was created by the very talented Adlynh and I will take it down if the artist requests.
