Nothing seems to go in Chris's favor. He can't find a stable job, he struggles to keep up with college, his love life is in shambles, and his family has drifted apart. When his girlfriend of two years leaves him, he heads out to the woods near his home to clear his thoughts. Without warning, he is transported to the Everfree Forest, in the exciting and dangerous land of Equestria, an ancient world long forgotten by humans with no way to return home. When all seems lost, he is rescued by the mane six and learns that he was not brought here on accident. A dangerous force is threatening both his old home and his current one, and it is up to him and his new friends to save all life as they know it.

There has always been a little voice in Twilight Sparkle's head, whispering dark musings to her. And until her brother's wedding, she has managed to push those bitter thoughts away and focus on the good. She forgives and forgets and holds onto hope.

But when her friends turn their backs on her and her brother cuts her from his life, Twilight finds herself alone, with only the little voice to comfort her.

And it is through anger and hate that has been repressed for so long that Twilight finds the power to rise up. Harmony and Friendship have only brought her pain and suffering. It is time for her to embrace her dark side. No longer will she worry about what others think. Twilight is going to live her life how SHE chooses: without friends, without family, without love and without harmony. She is going to cut loose, have fun, and screw what others think.

For her friends and family, it will soon become apparent that if they don't find a way to mend the damage they've done to the lavender mare...Twilight Sparkle might be lost to them forever.

I've spent the majority of my life tilling the desolate land in which I live. Every day, I wake up to move useless rocks from one location to another. This is an archaic line of work that my family has clung to for generations. It is a dull, grey existence.

Today, I have woken up in a strange room, lying in a bed that isn't mine. I'm surrounded by five mares whom I've never seen in my life. They claim to be my friends, and expect me to bring joy to the hearts of everypony.

Joy? I don't think I've ever experienced this for myself, so how am I supposed to thrust it upon others?

My name is Pinkamena Diane Pie, and I'm not sure what to make of this situation.

Based on Sgt. Sprinkles' story "Cupcakes", Pinkie Pie has a dream that really disturbed her. She immediately checks up on her friend Rainbow Dash upon waking up. Despite Rainbow still being in one piece something is still terribly wrong...
