Despite their supposed massive power, Alicorns have done a rather poor job of saving the day. Twilight discovers that there's an actual reason for that.

Princess Twilight has taken her place as the newest member of the royal family. After some time Discord becomes Twilights personal advisor and they are driving each other crazy. In more ways than one.

With their partnership comes many changes to Equestria and Twilights political power has started overshadowing the Royal Sisters.
This was Celestia's plan all along, but it doesn't stop there.

It all started with a friendly debate. Twilight thinks that Ponyville could not survive for thirty days without adults, Discord thinks that it could. Discord decides to settle the answer once and for all by putting every school aged colt and filly in Ponyville (plus Spike) into an exact replica of their town without any adults at all.

Only, Discord has to be able to prove to Twilight who won their debate. In order to keep Ponyville adult-free, he pulls filly Twilight from the past, who has nothing more than filly memories. And, while he's at it, he may as well bring in the rest of the filly mane six. Can the town survive for thirty whole days? And will the mane six be able to overcome the social barriers between themselves and the rest of the colts and fillies?

Ever since she was a filly, Nightmare Night has been Sunset Shimmer's favorite holiday. After all, who doesn't love dressing up and getting free candy?

When Twilight reveals that she's never gone trick-or-treating, Sunset decides that she needs to prove once and for all how absolutely amazing the holiday can be—even if it means she has to drag Twilight along kicking and screaming.

Thanks to Oroboro for helping me brainstorm.
Thanks to Oroboro, Frog Myre, Pegasus Mesa, Foehn, Not_A_Hat, and Titanium Dragon, and Pascoite for prereading various parts of this story.

The day after Hearth's Warming, Snowfall Frost thinks back to her encounter with Applejack and decides that maybe she hasn't learned her lesson, not entirely. Maybe she needs a refresher.

It's time to put the romance back in necromancy.

While having lunch a certain question comes up about how most of the evil ponies they've fought have been Unicorns. So is it just coincidence or is there a darker nature to unicorns that no one has thought of before?

Just a short one-shot I came up with after watching No Second Prances as this idea hit me.

A spell gone wrong, Twilight, Celestia and Luna have no answer how to get back home to the Equestria that they know.
Instead, they're stuck in a place where things are similar, yet so different.
They're stuck in what Equestria could have been.
And all they have is a book and their memories to help them.

This is my first attempt at a full on chaptered story. So whether it turns out bad or good we'll have to wait and see.
EDIT 15/8/14: This got featured? Holy Celestia and Luna...
EDIT 2 29/10/14: Got on the Popular Stories... hnnng

Let us venture into the past with Starlight Glimmer, to see a meaningful Hearths Warming each of her friends had, to show her that Hearths Warming isn't just about gifts, sweets and decorations.

Discord Day...

Just a term bronies in the human world use to describe the random day of February 29th, or an actual holiday in Equestria courtesy of a certain meddling master of chaos who has decided to insist on the public recognition he so richly deserves?

Why can't both be true?

Read what happens as Discord attempts to explain to the princesses of the sun and moon his logic behind just creating a new day and night for the year (and without permission, no less). How, oh how, will the spirit of chaos talk his way out of this one?

And Happy Discord Day, everypony!

Twilight Sparkle, pulling another late night, is finally confronted about by Spike and Starlight Glimmer. She reveals that she's been studying one of the realities she saw, specifically the one seemingly ruled by Flim and Flam. She just can't figure out how those two con artists could be as much of a threat as, say, Tirek or Nightmare Moon.

And then Discord shows up, telling her that she's looking at her information wrong. He volunteers to show Twilight, Spike, and Starlight what that reality is really like...
