Octavia's two greatest loves were music, and her partner. But when one of these loves robs her of her ability to enjoy the other, she reflects on which she values most.

Once upon a time, there were ponies. They were much like the ponies we know. These ponies, however, had discovered the magic of music, and some knew it very well.

Octavia Melody Philharmonica is one of these ponies. One evening, she travelled to the foot of Mount Canter to practise in peace. However, she was followed by a Vinyl Scratch, who decided to agitate Octavia further by challenging her to a duel.

Music ensues.

After countless days of begging and high expectations of fun, Lyra finally relents and lets pinkie have a Red Bull.

LETS DO THIS.

This time around, we were given a set of themes to choose from, so I went with "How do Vinyl's turntables work?" out of the selection
First attempt at first person, requesting critique and opinions

One of Vinyl Scratch's first shows, for a very peculiar audience

A dream tells Pinkie Pie that something really great is waiting for her, so she lays out on an epic adventure to bravely go where no pony has gone before, but the road is not without challenges and perils.

Pinkie Pie is tucking the Cake twins in bed, but they are too rowdy to sleep. So Pinkie decides to read them a few stories to calm them down. Using famous fairy tales for reference, Pinkie decides to put her own twist into the stories. That can only mean one thing:

Anything can happen!

Pinkie tells you, the reader, all about her day. Why did you have to ask her about it, numbskull? You know she won't shut up until she's told you the whoooole story...

First person from Pinkie's perspective. Warning: Contains lots of silly.

NOTICE: This is an unofficial and highly expanded story adaptation of the "PWaaMLPfim" Youtube Video Series: Phoenix Wright / My Little Pony FIM - Turnabout Storm! The videos came first, NOT this story!!!!

A quiet summer night in Ponyville takes a violent turn when two pegasus ponies enter the Everfree Forest and only one comes out alive, leaving the second accused of murder, on trial for her life. Ace Attorney Phoenix Wright finds himself dragged from his own world, magically summoned to Equestria by Twilight Sparkle to defend Rainbow Dash from charges of killing Ace Swift, a superstar pegasus athlete and champion racer.

Trapped in an unfamiliar world ruled by magical talking ponies, Phoenix must draw on all his wits and experience to solve the crime and uncover the conspiracy behind it... before Rainbow Dash is banished to the sun for a murder she didn't commit.

Based upon The Stanley Parable, but no knowledge of it is required.

This is a story about a mare named Twilight Sparkle.

One day, Twilight discovers that all her friends have gone missing. It is this realization that sends her on her way towards an adventure that allows her to discover her destiny in the end.

Or maybe it doesn't. Maybe she finds a dark secret about her past. Maybe she finds a dark secret about one of her friend's past. Maybe she finds cupcakes.

Or maybe all she can find is the beginning.

This is the Twilight Parable.
