Sapphire Shores, the pony of pop, Equestira’s darling diva, has just made enemies of the “Friendship Six.” The how and the why will soon give way to their dire consequences as the six put the mother of all pranks into motion. Rain clouds will be booby-trapped, dresses will be sabotaged, pies will be thrown and vengeance will be bittersweet.

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.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and its characters are owned by Lauren Faust and Hasbro.

Spike, faithful assistant to Twilight Sparkle, has accidentally gotten his life force sucked out by a magical artifact. In that state, he was only considered mostly dead, not fully dead. As long as the artifact was taken away from him, he could recover. Before Twilight and the others could do so, one of the employees from the land of the dead already took Spike's soul away.

Now, in order to save him, Twilight and her friends will have to travel into Lot D, the land of the dead. There, they will beseech the land's ruler herself for the return of Spike's soul.

Notes: Takes place before Alicorn Twilight.

The Sequel to 'Faith and Doubt'.

It's been two months since the changeling attack and Shining's almost-wedding and much has changed. Twilight Sparkle is now an alicorn and has left Equestria to master her new powers. The sixth element of harmony, the corrupt abstract Doubt, has been reborn in his original form: Faith. He, along with Spike, have gone with Twilight as she sought to heal after the betrayal by her friends and family.

But Twilight's return to Ponyville will not be a happy one; in her absence her friends Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie have been turned into alicorns themselves and the embodiments of their elements. They have seized power and now rule Equestria with iron hooves, using banned magic to turn their friends and family into zealots that obey their every command.

To save Equestria, Twilight will have to do the unthinkable: form a rebellion and declare war on her friends. But will she be willing to make the tough decisions... even if it means choosing between friendship and freedom?

Everything is bad in large doses.

Hearth's Warming Day.

This day, one of the most magical of days, is about family and love and togetherness and remembering the bonds of friendship.

It is also about demanding presents, showing up your family, freaking out over the tiniest detail and fighting the rush of a thousand other ponies that seem to want to do nothing more than ruin the holiday for everyone else.

This year, Twilight is getting to host her family's Hearth's Warming Day Dinner and she wants everything to be perfect. But as she sees what the holiday does to her friends and those around her, Twilight begins to lose the spirit of the season and wonders just what good is a holiday that seems to turn everypony into jealous, greedy monsters.

Join Twilight in this look at what modern life has done to the holiday season and how easy it is to reclaim the magic back.
