The conversations we have in passing have the power to change how we see the world.

For better or worse.

This is a new story about new things. I wrote it in under an hour. I new I could do it. UPDATE: I only wrote the first two chapters in under an hour. The rest I wrote today. Now you new. Jesus shows up but you can't tag the Bible as a series.

The long trial was over, and Twilight - no, Dusk Shine's finally out from under that terrible shadow. Poor little Skyla and her auntie could move on with their life. Skyla's murderous grandfather was behind bars, and Dashville was simply beautiful in the fall!

And all Dusk Shine needed to do was stay out of the public eye, and never catch the eye of 'King' Sombra's secretive confederates. And make sure that she stayed in the local deputy marshals' good graces.

How much trouble could a slightly witchy woman and her orphaned niece get up to in a quiet Applelachian town like Dashville, anyways? Even if they were hiding in witness protection from their incarcerated drug-cult kingpin of a patriarch.

Rainbow Dash just wants somepony to read her manuscript now, not 'later'. (Which we all know means never.)

It's been a year since the Earth/Equestria Accords were signed, and the cultural exchange is going smoothly. Twilight Sparkle and her friends, some of the first Equestrians to come to Earth, meet at their castle in Equestria to discuss what they've learned on the topic of language.

Babs Seed shows Apple Bloom the Manehattan CMC's sick new clubhouse. Too bad she's crazy.

Kind of a reverse of Things Rainbow Dash Doesn't Like, except nowhere near as funny or well written.

Story 2 of Doubleshotober

Five years ago, the Free States seceded. Five years ago, the Princesses were taken captive. Five years ago, Equestria embarked on a bloody war that would cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

For five years, Rainbow Dash has fought to save her friends. For five years, the sun and moon have hung overhead, motionless. For five years, Rainbow has lived in that wan glow, while every day kills her a little bit more. The peace and happiness of her youth are but faded memories, and now she hardly recognizes the town she once called home. A hardened mare, Rainbow knows only pain and suffering...

...until one day, a reminder of what life used to be like lands at her hooves, and gives her something to live for once more.
