I had been a tool for them, too many years passed in front of my eyes that I stopped counting them.

I came to your to land to complete the purpose which I see with utter disgust.

And failed...

and that was good.

You never knew of my existence until those kind souls presented me to you and your sister.

I never lied to any of you; instead I avoided your questions or merely responding them with half truths.

All of you together taught me to laugh again.

But you made me smile.

But they never capitulated; they wanted to finish what was started years ago.

That’s why I came to you that night; in seek for help or a simple advice, anything but what really happened.

But I don’t regret it.

Now the two of us stand in front of each other, only the victor would leave the battlefield…

Alive.

I can only hope you have the strength to deliver the final blow which I craved for so long.

I am only a tool after all.

We've all wondered what could happen if a pony from Equestria suddenly appeared in our house — but what if that pony turned out to be your own OC?

Seven authors collaborated to answer this very question.

These are their stories.

Caught in a rainstorm again, Derpy trudges off toward home. But along the way, she finds somepony down on her luck as well, somepony who very much reminds Derpy of her own childhood. It was a good day.

Lengthened version of the 13th-place finisher in the /fic/ mini write-off "I Regret Nothing."

To be inserted into Equestria, it's a dream come true for anybrony!

Meet the ponies!

Have super awesome magical adventures!

Use foreknowledge to avoid all those silly pratfall moments without screwing things up and causing irreparable harm to the Mane 6...uh...hopefully!

And all for the low cost of possessing Princess Luna, denying her any real freedom or the ability to move on with her life since she's in your head and you're walking around as Nightmare Moon!

Yeah...there had to be a catch in there somewhere, didn't there?

What if pony princesses were actually highly social carnivores?

What if a National Geographic team began following them around to film a documentary?

What if nopony saw anything unusual about this?

A metaphor about growing up. Or possibly a metaphor about living in a surveillance society. Or maybe just a very, very weird idea that needed to become a story.

Rarity accidentally flushes Gummy down the toilet, and Pinkie Pie is not happy. Not happy at all.

She could've been many things after leaving Canterlot High. A baker, a comedian, a singer, a professional party planner.

Yet instead, Pinkie chose another path in life. A road nobody thought she would ever travel. For Pinkie Pie, being a police officer is almost second nature to her.

Written for the June 19th short story Writeoff Group event using the prompt "A Matter of Perspective".

"This story is why Schnapps is a bad idea." -- Bradel

Twilight tries on her first pair of glasses, and though she enjoys them, something goes wrong. Anypony who merely looks at her faints on the spot, and she must figure out why before the entire city of Canterlot is compromised.

Now with a YouTube reading by Short Stories, and another YouTube reading by ZeusMacD

Celestia, bored from her centuries-long routine of the same, stagnant thing day in and day out, snaps, causing the Princess of the Sun to make a few drastic changes to her life. A few drastic changes that might not be such a good thing for Equestria...

Now with reading by TheCaptainSand - Scarlett Blade

Luna, still a bit unhappy at Celestia for banishing her to the moon for a thousand years, wants to have a small, tiny taste of vengeance. To be exact, she wants to send Celestia to the Sun.

So what is Luna going to do first?

Ask Celestia for permission, of course. Complications eventually occur.
