Twilight finds out why.

Bing-bad,

Du-da!

Your name is Nightfall Abyss. You're a soon-to-be Keyblade Wielder at Canterlot High School. Your most hated enemy is Sunset Shimmer, who has plagued the school with her darkness. You're the only one she fears. While you are respected for standing up to her, you're also feared by your fellow students for using the powers of Darkness to fight. Life is simple. But when a princess from another world comes out of your world's keyhole, your entire life is turned upside down. Will you accept her ideals of friendship and let go of your darkness? Or will you fall deeper into the blackness of your heart and destroy both her and Sunset.

Twilight and her friends have faced many challenges throughout their years of great friendship, but things start to take a big turn when they encounter a darkness that is not from their world, as well as making a few new friends along the way. Takes place after Season 6, and so on. Also guest-starring Stardust Balance from "A Journey Beyond Sanity".

Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity have lived in the underwater world of Seaquestria ever since they could remember; and all they remembered before arriving in the undersea realm was when they were young fillies being lost at sea. They all knew that they were different than the other seaponies, with their unique appearances and lovely singing voices, and they wondered what it was like up in the world above.

After experiencing another storm that stirred up old and faint memories of their forgotten past, they all eventually sneak away from Seaquestria, return to Equestria, and regain their land hooves. All the while, they reunite with their families, go on fantastic adventures, and grow to fall in love with very special someponies or creatures.

However, there’s two things threaten the happiness that they have always dreamed of. Three attractive yet jealous mares with a darker fishy secret, and an ulterior motive other than eliminating whoever they see as competition, challenge the six of them to see who is the better singing group. And that whenever the Mane 6 touch water, they reveal their fish tails as a reminder of where they had been all the time apart from their families.

How can this group of best friends learn how to handle so much? Well, not standing alone and finding true strength within each other is part of the solution.

Princess Celestia has taken on a new personal student: an unusual young colt named Amethyst Eclipse. When Twilight Sparkle meets Eclipse, he warns her she is fated to "ruin" a magical and mysterious realm that Celestia and Luna have kept a closely guarded secret for centuries—but refuses to tell her more.

Joined by her more scientifically-minded friends, Twilight will try to unravel the mystery before his prediction comes true.

Written for The Writeoff Association's "Under the Sun" contest.

The surface isn't safe anymore.

In the ruined depths of Canterlot, a team of brave salvagers discover six mares, long forgotten but miraculously preserved. Though these mares cannot remember what happened to their world, they possess powerful magic that hasn't been seen for centuries.

Now the Elements of Harmony are thrust headlong into a world beyond recognition. Twilight and her friends must dive into the sunken remains of history to determine what happened, but Equestria isn't the harmonious land it once was. Before they can focus wholly on the past, they may first have to survive the present.

It isn't going to be easy.

Stress is driving Princess Twilight Sparkle crazy, but at least she seems able to regain control of herself once per week.

Oddly enough, Twilight's friends would love to put a stop to that... but Twilight controls a lot more than she realizes.

Even when it hurts, there are times it pays to lose control.

When Starlight compressed all of time into a single moment, her friends became the Deities that control the multiverse.

A collection of mostly Starlight-centered super short stories set in that multiverse.
