Due to a clerical error, everyone's favorite Cutie Mark Crusadering Pegasus Filly accidentally dies and goes to Heck. It kind of sucks for her, but there is some hope for her to return to the world of the living, and she doesn't have to turn into a zombie to do it, either! With the help of a mysterious and badly-designed Alicorn OC, can she make her way to meet the King of Heck and plead her case to return to life?

This is just a dumb idea I got from a combination of Mario Romhacks and too much chocolate milk. Labeled as "Dark" due to a death, but it's more of a silly comedy.

Twilight feels like she never gets a break. As Equestria's newest princess, she has many responsibilities and hardly finds the time to sit down and read a book.

In this story, however, she opens a book...and can't even read a sentence without being interrupted.

Rainbow Dash isn't bitter about the whole Mare-Do-Well incident. Or at least that's what she tells herself. Either way, she's not going to miss this chance for some harmless revenge pranks, and so she constructs a plan to prank all of her best friends, starting with Twilight Sparkle. All Dash needs is a quill and some paper.

Thanks to the amazing DShou for the cover image.

My name is Diamond Tiara. I am the most popular filly in school, and with good reason. I'm smart, I'm funny, I'm cool, I'm rich, and I'm resourceful. Everypony wants to be me... which can be kind of a burden at times. Alula, get off of me already!

I'm Alula! I'm not quite as smart as DT here, but I'm a really good athlete, and I'm full of energy every day! After all, I get to see Diamond Tiara every day, so how can I not be?

Sweetie Belle has a secret, that even her two friends Apple Bloom and Scootaloo don't know about. She likes to ship ponies. Two ponies in particular.

After being supposedly 'reformed', Discord returns to Canterlot with Princess Celestia. Once there he realizes that it would be a long run before the ponies would accept him. Shunned and mistrusted, Discord slowly returns to his older ways.

This time there is no holding back.

After Scootaloo finds out she likes fillies instead of colts she thinks she is a freak. Everyone is out to prove her otherwise though...

When yet another unsuccessful attempt at getting Cutie Marks results in Apple Bloom having too much time on her hooves, she turns to books in the hope of hatching a plan that definitely cannot possibly fail. However, one book in particular—an inconspicuous little thing concerning old history and something called a "golem"—catches her attention and becomes the object for her boundless energy, much to her sister's concern.

Meanwhile, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo have their own problems to deal with, consisting of a fussy, overbearing older sister and an undeniably awesome yet slightly oblivious role model. On top of that, they soon have to contend with their best friend's zealous conviction that the answer to their troubles lies well beyond the safety of home.

For as long as any of the Cutie Mark Crusaders can remember, Diamond Tiara had always been the biggest bully they knew. But when that said bully dies in an accident, each of them starts to go through their own emotional experience from this sudden change in their lives. Each will learn more about themselves and about the pony who they all thought they knew before she is laid to rest.

***Takes place just after season 3 but before season 4. This story is completed.***
