Scootaloo still doesn't have her cutie mark. She still hasn't found what makes her special. And she's slowly getting left behind. What will happen when her friends move on? When her idol can't help her? When her parents give up? What happens when life becomes too much for one filly to handle?

Rainbow Dash has been looking forward to her first day of Cloudsdale Flight School since she was just a little filly. Now she was finally old enough! Though, when she got there, her first day was... Not quite what she expected. It wasn't as easy as flying at home. The instructors were tough on her. Her classmates were mean to her. Soon, she was starting to hate flight school. That is, until she met a certain pegasus, who helped her when she was down.

The ending of Chapter 5 has been rewritten, and I'm taking the ending of the story in a different direction than originally planned, so if you've already read it, I would suggest rereading at least the ending.

The Songbird, protector of the lamb of the flying city of Columbia was thought dead. Though as it would soon discover, his charge was not the only being able to open the mysterious tears. In the forest of this new land, he finds peace with the native animals. However, the urge to protect something, anything, would soon drive him to respond to the cheerful whistling of an equine with a penchant for protecting creatures like him, no matter how foreign they appeared.

No game spoilers, and the chapters that may contain vague spoilers are marked with a *
Contained within are the following characters from Bioshock Infinite: Songbird and the Luteces.

Lyra has always fantasized about becoming a human, and walking amongst their culture. One day, she decides for the dream to become a reality, and become one with the people. When she convinces Twilight to preform a powerful spell on her, the unexpected happens.
