Anyone at Crystal Prep who knew Twilight Sparkle would never assume that this shy bookworm with top grades in all subjects could hold something evil within.

Thus, when said bookworm turned into Midnight Sparkle under the influence of the magic she released, everyone present was shocked to see their classmate become a callous and ruthless she-demon.

Nobody could understand: why? Twilight wasn't evil... was she?

Failing to understand the reasons behind that horrific transformation, Rainbooms and Shadowbolts decided to ask the newest CHS student herself about that. Initially reluctant, Twilight agrees, revealing the side of her that no one had suspected to exist...

Starlight Glimmer is TRYING to be a good friend, but she just has this awful tendency to overreact at just about anything.

Like trying to rule over an entire village of brainwashed ponies because a friend moved away.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders have a simple request for Celestia, but first, they're going to talk about the sun.

Starlight took a chance and decided to give friendship a try once more. With nowhere else to go, she stays with Twilight. Being such a powerful magic user, Twilight doesn't feel like letting her go would be a good idea. But how much has Starlight really reformed? She spent much time following the purple pony princess. Perhaps she can use her understanding of the mare towards another end.

Celestia sends Twilight her last, greatest assignment. The lost masterpiece of Star Swirl the Bearded!

The spell that the greatest mage of all time couldn't figure out.

The spell given to her by the mare who thought releasing Discord was a good idea.

The spell that, upon closer inspection, seems about as stable as Rarity's emotional state and as safe as Rainbow Dash's usual workout.

... Maybe Twilight should double check with the princess first.

You know that moment when you just meet... that pony? The one who you have the instant chemistry with, and you can just tell that you're meant to complete each other's hearts?

Shining Armor felt that when he met Chrysalis at a park in Canterlot. Granted, she was disguised as Fleur de Lis, but that wasn't the point. He was attracted to her, be it by her looks, or her regal demeanor, and that's really all that matters.

Slowly, they fell in love, even after Chrysalis revealed her true form to the white unicorn. They're begining to imagine an entire life with each other, growing old together.

First, though, Chrysalis must meet Shining's parents.

*Thank you so much for helping put this onto the popular stories list!!!*
**Now with cover art by Shadow Bolt!**

After a sudden realization about how Shining Armor became a captain in the Royal Guard, Rainbow Dash hatches an insidious plot to become Captain of the Wonderbolts by following in his hoofsteps in the only appropriate manner...

By sleeping with a Princess, of course!

A collab fic with Doccular42. Needless to say, neither of us were in our right minds when we created this.

all are awesome!

The last human alive recounts the events that led to the downfall of humanity by Celestia's hooves. Rated Teen for slight launguage and violence.

Applejack is chosen as The Nightmare's new host.

It really isn't that big of a deal. Until it is.

Spoilers to those who haven't seen Rainbow Rocks yet!

After the defeat of the Dazzlings, Flash Sentry felt guilty for the cruel things he said to Twilight during the Battle of the Bands competition. He wanted to apologize to Twilight, but his guilt and not knowing how make an apology approach is what holding him back. When he heard that Twilight is once again leaving from Canterlot High, Flash knew that he must speak to Twilight before it is too late!

My head-canon of what happened sometime before the end of Rainbow Rocks.
