This story is a sequel to Rainbooms and Royalty

Dashverse: Rainbow Dash is geared up and prepared for the Best Young Flyers Competition in her hometown of Cloudsdale! And Rainbow is more than ready, having already used her Sonic Rainboom to help stop Nightmare Moon. When she and her friends arrive in Cloudsdale, things get even better: Rainbow has more fans than all the other competitors put together.

But that's when the problem starts. What's the cost of being the best? How can you have a competition when Rainbow is just that much better than everypony else? How will Rainbow Dash react to a horde of new fans? And how will her friends react to Rainbow's budding legend?

This story is a sequel to Flipside

((A sequel to my surprisingly popular story Flipside! Set in an alternate universe where Spike is the pony and Twilight is his dragon assistant.))

It's been two weeks since the defeat of Nightmare Moon. Two weeks since six unexpected ponies became heroes that saved not only Ponyville, but all of Equestria. And in those two weeks Spike "Purple Prose" Flail, ace reporter for the Canterlot Sun, has had plenty of time to get into the swing of his new home in the small town. Life seems good...

Until a new pony blows into town. A specter from Spike's past that isn't willing to let him just have his "happily ever after." A certain ex-student of Princess Celestia herself that Spike hasn't thought of in ages.

One who's particularly eager to show how little a "hero" Spike is.

Part of the Flipverse!

Now on TVTropes!

Taking place a month after the conclusion of "Rainbooms and Royalty," Rainbow Dash is settling into her new life in Ponyville. On the whole, it's great! But as some minor tensions crop up at her job and her new life, an old friend comes into town to turn everything upside down. What's a pony to do?

This is an idea that wouldn't leave my head, inspired by Fairy Slayer's "Mommy Nearest," Aldea Donder's "Alicorn," SoundofRainfall's "Play" and RainbowDoubleDash's "Lunaverse"

Alternate Universe: Instead of Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia made Rainbow Dash her personal student instead! Follow her through the events of the 1,000th Summer Sun Celebration. A reimagining of "Friendship is Magic"

You know that fan-fiction you typed last week? It's a part of the multiverse. So is the main canon of the show, as well as every single variation of the Equestria we know and love.

In the endless worlds of the multiverse, every possible alternate Equestria is explored.
And every single one of those worlds is in mortal peril.
That's where the Order of Destiny comes in.

We all know the story of how the Princess’ young student and five friends defeated Nightmare Moon and brought Princess Luna back to our lands. But what if the tale were false? What if the young Twilight Sparkle on the event of her entrance exam had not been rescued by Princess Celestia, but instead lost her mind among the power of her youthful surge and had to be sent away, far away before she could destroy all of Canterlot with her newfound power. Now the feral unicorn prowling the Everfree Forest only vaguely remembers her past, slipping away from constant terrifying attempts to capture her.

And she is beginning to remember what true power felt like.

Long ago, in the magical land of Equestria, ponies were close-minded and against the other races. Zebras, deer, griffons, mules, all were target for their hatred. And this extended outwards to other ponies too.

One alicorn rose up. With her powerful magic, she brought eternal night, for reasons which have been lost over the course of history. And the sun has never risen since.

One thousand years later, the heir to the changeling throne, Chrysalis, dreams of seeing the sun. She learns of a way to overthrow the cruel Nightmare Moon, but she cannot do it alone.

Meanwhile, a draconequus, freed from his stone bindings, awakens. But the world is not as he remembers it. Seeking to right the wrongs of the world so he can bring chaos and a spark to the lives of the ponies, he also sets out to dethrone the mistress of the night.

And six wayward ponies, from different walks of life, scattered across Equestria. Each with a life, each with problems.

The sun will rise again.

Cover art drawn by me, but if anyone has anything better, I would love it.
