Through the workings of an ancient scroll, the world of ponies is transported to another universe. Will this cold, heartless, and uncaring void be the end of ponies everywhere? For to carve out a place of their own in this new galaxy, what ancient secrets, forbidden practices, and forgotten artifacts must see the light of day and night?

Everypony has their secrets. Their own 'guilty pleasures' that they try to hide even from those closest to them. What kind of secret does Twilight Sparkle keep to herself, and can she indulge in it when she has the whole library to herself?

Luna is a hardcore gamer, and it piques Celestia's curiosity. She's skeptical at first, but Celestia is willing to learn about Luna's favorite pastime.

And then Fluttershy got a paper cut.

The Ponyville Six visit Canterlot to watch Rainbow Dash participate in a long-distance race. However, a visit to Twilight's favourite donut shop results in the bookish Unicorn finding herself in a pitched donut-eating battle with a certain pink Party Pony, with disastrous results.

This short story was created as part of a writing audition for the Equestria Online MMO.
I hope you enjoy it as much as the game's staff apparently did! :D

When Rainbow Dash finds herself lost in a new and unfamiliar village, she reaches out to a certain lavender-hued stranger for help. But to Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash is no stranger; at least until she notice her strange new voice, a lack of wings, and a fondness of the word ‘darling’. Intrigued by the uncanny looks to one of her best friends, she decides to lend the newcomer a helping hoof, but things go from weird to weirder when Pinkie Pie happily announces that she too has met her lookalike. Twilight Sparkle and her friends take it upon themselves to find out the truth behind this mystery: who are these doppelgangers? Could there really be another Ponyville out there? And what does it all have to do with Discord’s lost legacy?

Author's note: This Fiction includes elements from the cartoon Avatar: the Last Airbender. Avatar was created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, produced and owned by Nickelodeon, and has a talented team of animators, writers, and producers hard at work on a sequel series.

Big thanks to the teams at both Nickelodeon and Hasbro for providing me with the inspiration for this story and entertaining families the world over. Rock on guys.
