It was over. The Dazzlings were defeated in the Battle Of The Bands by the Sonic Rainbooms. The necklaces shattered, shattering their lives. Their self-concept was also shattered. Their music career was over. They thought they would never sing again.

Suddenly, Twilight Sparkle returns to the Equestria Girls universe to meet up with Sunset Shimmer. Both noticing the Dazzlings have changed, they offer them a deal. A deal to go back to Equestia to start over. To get their necklaces repaired and drained of their evil magic. To become ponies again. A second chance.

Upon returning to Equestria, the Dazzlings meet a pony named Sapphire Shores. She also loved to sing. Will she help these ponies truly redeem themselves and get them back to singing again?

Winter is cold, winter is dark, and winter is miserable. This will be my last winter.

Part of the Borderworld.

I had always wondered what life in Equestria would be like if I went there; having adventures with the mane 6, learn about the magic of friendship, all that good stuff, with ponies.

It's something that I had wished for a long time...

And of course, life decides to send me to Canterlot High.
Life just isn't fair, is it?

NOTE: This story does not represent my actual views on Equestria Girls and the concept behind it.

[Reminder: This is HUMAN Sunset, not Sunset from Equestria.]
Sunrise Light and Sunset Shimmer were the best of friends when they were little. One day, Sunset left and they didn't talk again..until 12 years later. What happened, and what will happen to their friendship? Or..will they become something more than friends?

Now with an audio reading by Skijarama!

Now with a print version available for order!

A purple Alicorn shows up one night and then vanishes into thin air. Many wouldn't think anything of it besides how strange it was.

Not Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash has met that Alicorn before.

The implication it brings and the guilt that follows leaves Rainbow Dash with questions weighing on her mind.

Luckily, in the crushing pain of reality, she still has friends.

A strange occurrence happens to one very unique man, and after being contacted by Celestia herself, he finds himself caught in the weirdest week of his life. Only he has the power and ability to save Equestria.

Discord is reformed and now on the path towards becoming a productive member of society. To help him stay on the straight and narrow, Fluttershy begins to write letters to him, with the two quickly becoming pen pals. With their sharing of letters, Fluttershy begins to learn more about the conundrum known as Discord, while Discord learns what it truly means to be a friend.

Collaboration with the totally awesome Flint Sparks! If you enjoyed the story, then definitely check this guy out!

100 - 500 words, prompt-based mini fics, written by the members of the Discord / Celestia group here on FIMFiction!

We need a few more authors to really kick this off, so please join in on the collab here!

It's been said in prophecies that nopony will know the time or date the magic of Equestria that empowers its citizens would leave. I thought it was just superstitious nonsense written by ancient witch doctors. In a sense, they were right. But I would have never expected it to come like this. —Princess Twilight Sparkle, 05/05/1268

AU tag added due to the Cutie Mark Crusaders getting Cutie Marked.

A cutie mark appears on a pony's flank when he or she finds that certain something that makes them different from every other pony. - Miss Cheerilee

While there may be some fillies out there crusading for cutie marks on what seems to be a daily basis, several of their classmates have already had theirs appear. Haven't you always wanted to find out how it happened? Of course you have.

(The colt characters don't really interest me; sorry, colt fans.)
