Twilight Sparkle just can't find enough time in the day. She has to study friendship for the Princess, hang out with her five friends, and juggle her own hobbies and interests besides. But when a novel solution presents itself in the form of an experimental new spell, will it solve her time crunch, or will she be distracted even further?

When a freak solar event threatens Ponyville and Princess Celestia is nowhere to be found, Twilight desperately casts the only spell that she thinks will help: a spell that transforms her into a vampire. Forced to deal with the side effects, Twilight relies on her vampirical side as she ventures into a life-threatening situation for the sake of the princess, Ponyville, and quite possibly all of Equestria.

The War of the Witches? Ever since you began visiting me here in my garden, my newest student, your inquiries have all revolved around that ancient conflict. I will admit, I wish you would ask me about something else. No? Very well. You have selected the subject, but this evening I shall choose the setting, as I believe there is something I need to say.

Yes, something I need to say indeed…

After only five minutes of marriage, Twilight comes to her senses and realises that Flash Sentry is actually really, really boring. It's time to lawyer up and get a divorce!

To navigate the complex Equestrian legal system and not lose all her money, Twilight needs the best lawyer in all of Equestria. Unfortunately what she has is Fluttershy.

Teleportation. It is the best possible way to travel... As long as you don't think about it too much. As long as you don't ask where Twilight goes in that split second when she's neither here nor there.

The sound I listened to as I wrote it, available to you in order to give you the option of having the same atmosphere.

No relation to the other story with the same name, just a coincidence of both picking the same excellent title. I was unaware that the other one existed.

Trixie is a stage magician. Skilled in acts of slight of hoof and stage magic, and even more gifted in magic than your average unicorn. She loved the joy she could bring to others, and of course, she also loved the adoration of those who beheld her performance. But....how could she not? Ever since she was born she has felt this feeling, this voice whispering to her that she is meant for Greatness, and destined for Great Power. And no matter how many times life has spat in her face. Even after her parents died when she was little, even after she was mugged in that alleyway in Manehattan, even after two humiliating defeats by Twilight Sparkle, even after seeing her greatest rival become an Alicorn Princess, and seeing her rival best her at almost everything and being so much Greater and more Powerful than her....the voice still persists. The feeling never faltering.

But why? What hope is there for Trixie Lulamoon? How could she ever be as Great and Powerful as Princess Twilight Sparkle?

However, on one fateful night, she is about to discover something about herself and her family that will change everything....
