This story is a sequel to Twilight Becomes a Bug Exterminator

The Crystal Empire has returned.

But that's not the only thing that's back.

The tyrant of the Crystal Empire, King Sombra, is back, and he wants to reclaim the Crystal Ponies as his slaves. Twilight will not allow that to happen, and she prepares to face him.

Except, she has a plan up her metaphorical sleeve. An explosive one.

Set in "The Return of the Crystal Empire; Part Two". Not to be taken seriously.

In the Rainbow Factory there lives a foal. But she is not like the rest of the weaklings; she is not a failure.

Ever wondered how the Rainbow Factory would be different if Cozy Glow had made it there? I know I have.

Rated T for some mild descriptions of violence.

Spike is drunk. Twilight is high. Rainbow is sober. This sort of trio has never happened before.

And it's up to the sober to get the others home.

Twilight is in her castle doing paperwork, wanting to do something else until Discord arrives trying to distract her.

Magic is gone. Cozy succeeded in doing what she set out to do, and now the world is perfect.

Simply perfect.

It's Starlight Glimmer's first week in Ponyville and she attempts to cross the street. Somepony really should have warned her...

Inky Quill has a doctorate in history and an idea. The Summer Sun Celebration turns 1000 soon, and it’s the perfect time to write a book. What better way to commemorate such a nice, round number than by comparing Equestria in the first days of the Celebration to Equestria now? It’ll get ponies involved in history, be a nice tie-in, maybe teach them about the long-lost Princess Luna. (Ponies, Quill knows, have disappointingly short memories.) Besides, Celestia’s ruled for a millennium. It’s not like anything’s going to change anytime soon.

In other news, Twilight is about to move to Ponyville.

Cover art is edited from Marshall Chipped’s May You Live in Interesting Times. Not originally conceived for the My Little Pony Renaissance Contest, but since it inspired me to finish it, I'm entering it anyway.

After seeing Rarity's new boyfriend, Spike realizes that he's too ugly to ever date her.

But what scares him the most is the realization that he might not ever be attractive enough to date anypony. It takes a conversation with Twilight to help him realize just how special he is.
