Ben is a recent citizen of Ponyville, and has warmed up to his neighbors quite easily. However, another less recent resident is in a bit of a mood and needs the only solution that he knows of.

Note: Rated T for language and drunken antics.

Several silly short stories about humans in Equestria, stuffed with significantly more horse facts than you could have ever wanted in such a short space.

I have done nothing productive all day.

Stable. Calm. Orderly.

That was what Starlight Glimmer had sought when she set up her community, a place where all ponies would be equal in everything they had or did. No fighting, no competition, no cutie marks: it would be the perfect symbol of Equality by which the rest of Equestria would rally behind.

But one stormy night, a mysterious mare arrives to question Starlight about her beliefs, doubting whether Equality is truly what Ponykind needs. Surely such notions are those of an older time, and Equality is a future that Starlight can defend.

... isn't it?

There are many things that the Pillars of Old Equestria, newly returned to the world, have never encountered before.New cities, new technologies, new magic... and a little blue flower that grows in the Everfree Forest.

A submission for the Springtime Sequel-Slash-Sandbox Switcheroo, drawing on Spacial Displacement by River Road.

September Eleventh, Two Thousand and One. An attack on America strikes the world silent as history is made. Within a single day, the fate of the world changed. Victims of all ages, genders, everything.

Among these many casualties was one boy in the North Tower. Left without any hope, he was only saved though the external forces of chaos and endings.

This is the story of a boy who was forced to deal with tragedy, and how he learned to change with the present with the knowledge of the past.

(This is a rewrite from the original, called Avatar of Battle.)

The Cutie Mark Crusaders are so grateful for their cutie marks that they ask Pipsqueak if they could use them against villains with a little help of magic, to which he says they can. Excited, the trio sings a song that honors their goal and desires that involve their cutie marks.

They go to ask Twilight to put a spell on them that grants them such an ability for their cutie marks and she reluctantly agrees and the Crusaders are overjoyed. They travel to the Everfree Forest to test their newfound powers out... only for things to eventually get out of hand. This did not work out quite as the Cutie Mark Crusaders had planned. Long story short, let us just say that the Cutie Mark Crusaders would by now only wish that they actually had something they were fighting for.

And what were they fighting for?

Sweetie Belle - Nothing.
Apple Bloom - Nothing.
Scootaloo - Nothing.
Pipsqueak - Nothing.
Diamond Tiara - Nothing.
Silver Spoon - Nothing.

This story was inspired by this thread! Probably read the story first, because it’s going to completely spoil what this is about.

A demon turns to powdered ash
Remember the day that Tirek died
And also the day the Princess survived
