there is a moment

once in every pony's life

when the time comes

to shed one's baby tail

don't worry, sweetie

it won't hurt

Rainbow Dash is cursed, cursed with the constant need to dab at any given moment, and it's starting to get on her friend's nerves.

Not gonna stop them from getting sidetracked though.

Edit: Just saying, if you don't know what dabbing is, this probably isn't something for you

cu·ri·os·i·ty
ˌkyo͝orēˈäsədē/
noun
1.
a strong desire to know or learn something.
"filled with curiosity, she peered through the window"
synonyms: interest, spirit of inquiry, inquisitiveness
"his evasiveness roused my curiosity"

2.
The name of a useless griffin cub.

Curiosity can't fly, she isn't athletic, and she hates hunting.

However, she does love to stray away from the pack.

During a class field trip to an ancient city's ruins, Curiosity falls through the floors of an old castle, and there, she meets a proud creature.

And as she listens to this broken and bruised creature's tales,

her curiosity over the beings that once occupied her home turns to defiance against her own people.

It's time for Twilight to learn how to raise the sun too.

Written for the Writeoff's Keep Pretending prompt.

Twilight Sparkle always thought that friendship (and by association, magic) was the strongest force in the universe. But what happens when she finds something even stronger?

After finally returning to Equestria, Sunset Shimmer accepts Starlight's challenge and face off in a magical duel. What's the worst that could happen?

What if in Equestria Discord wasn't just some practical Jokester, but a sinister monster that spreads misery and chaos throughout the land?

What if when Discord was defeated, through a last act of chaotic defiance, released a spell to slowly destroy their world?

What if they came to our world?

But not at its technological marvel as it is today, but at an age of chivalry, religion, and War?

When Scootaloo thinks she has received divine guidance on how to get her cutie mark, she drags her friends off to an adventure they may not be quite ready for...

After Big Macintosh builds a play castle for the Cutie Mark Crusaders, the excited fillies spend a great deal of time waging epic battles against and alongside each other, besieging and defending the castle, saving princesses, deposing warlords and tyrants, and often suffering melodramatic deaths while they're at it. Often they find themselves aided by and fighting against various monsters hailing from Vaati's palace that want in on the fun. This is a record of all their various adventures.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: This was originally going to just be a oneshot, but other people have persuaded me to add more to it, thus this shall be a collection of oneshots based around the games the CMC and various monsters play in this castle. This takes place in the Equestrian Wind Mage continuity.

After getting their cutie marks, the three crusaders go their separate ways but they try and keep in contact through letters to each other. This story is following them as they grow up to face the best life has to offer, and the worst...
