In desperation, The Cakes send Pinkie Pie to buy some lettuce leaves for a salad. Not any ordinary salad, a salad specifically for the Princess herself! What could possibly go wrong?

Blame Cozmosus for this.

Twilight has developed a device that can detect strange signals coming from outer space; signals from aliens! She gathers her friends so that they can all listen in.

But they may not like what they hear...

I'd appreciate if everyone could keep the YouTube embeds in the comments to a minimum. The sheer number of them is putting a bit more strain on my connection than I'd like. I'm going to start deleting any comments with 2 or more embeds in them.

When Twilight Sparkle slipped beneath the covers last night, everything had been fine. She had friends whom she loved, a teacher she adored, and a bright future ahead of her. But when she woke up, her blankets and quilts had been replaced by hospital gowns and padded restraints.

Everything is wrong and nothing makes sense; even her friends have changed. The doctors keep telling her that she is sick, that none of it was real and that it was all in her head. Yet she remembers a life far beyond the hospital walls. She couldn't have made it all up on her own. They must be lying… right?

After the changelings' failed invasion of Canterlot, Twilight tries to soothe some of Ponyville's rampant paranoia by casting a spell to prove there are no imposters hiding in the town. But her spell leaves her in an alien body, facing a mob of angry ponies who just don't believe her when she says she is Twilight Sparkle.

Or, at least, she was Twilight Sparkle, anyway...

I've always fancied myself as a bit of a storyteller. Anything can be considered a story with the proper execution and a bit of thought. Today though? I have a special story to tell you.

Author's Note: This is a prompt given to me by The Great and Powerful Regidar. Edited by my amazing friends CartsBeforeHorses, KillerSteel, and Dri. These guys are all pretty amazing authors too, so if you like this, be sure to check them out!

Twelve thousand years ago, humanity was driven into a war with an unknown enemy. Fire rained from the heavens and the sky turned dark as the sun dimmed. Acid poured from the clouds and a plague was unleashed upon mankind: A virus that caused men to turn on one another. A disease that forced man to fall to his knees and beg for mercy. A pathogen that ravaged man’s civilization.

And when humanity lost all chances of reconciliation, all hope of keeping their loved ones safe, they pulled the plug, three hundred souls left Earth while sacrificing their only home to the angel of the enemy.

In the twelve millennia since the Great War, all traces of humanity have been wiped from the surface of the Earth. In man’s rightful place now are a multitude of sapient species. For twelve thousand years, these animals have lived in peace and harmony, man reduced to nothing more than but a myth, a folk tale, a legend.

But word has spread across the countryside. Word of forgotten beasts that still walk the western wastelands. Creatures able to bend the world to their will without the help of magic. Creatures said to be older than time itself.

Teen for language, and dark moments. Character tags will be added as the story progresses

Equestria has become a scarred battleground of many wars, but none are as broken as the heart of a veteran pony. When his lover is taken by the remains of an ancient enemy, he makes it his mission to find her, no matte the cost. But when a unwanted guest tags along with him, he finds himself mixed up in a plot that could destroy what is left of Equestria. Will he be the hero Equestria needs, or will his undying thirst for revenge blind him to the world he's leaving behind?

Char Gen and Xavier Priston are Equestria's best scientists. Even though they live in a world where magic is a fact of life, they are still greatly admired for their studies. Their discoveries have benefitted Equestria, as well as other regions. Everything is looking up for them. Until she came to their lives.

Glisten Vial was a mysterious mare. She walked into their laboratory, offering them money for their future projects. And to make sure that they said yes, she offered them the things that they greatly desired. The only thing she asked in return was for them to conduct some experienments for her.

What seemed like a great partnership, soon turned into a nightmare. One failed experiment created terrifying monsters, released all of their test subjects, and destroyed their laboratory. To make things even worse, each test subject and monster want revenge.

Big thanks to Doom Trot for helping me with this.

It's an older sister's duty to push the more stubborn sibling to do what's good for herself. It may seem harsh at first, and it may take weeks of it to have the whole thing work out, but it'll work out sooner or later... At least Celestia hopes for Luna's sake.

Banished into the morning, Luna must take on the most challenging task she has ever faced. One of which she herself does not know if it is at all possible. Is it possible? Perhaps no one will ever know.
