Anon-a-Miss has invaded Canterlot High and the girls think that Sunset did it! How can she ever regain her honor?

Mortal Kombat, of course. Equestrian Tradition dictates that challenges are to be issued and duels are to be performed. Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack are all well aware of these facts.

The CMCs, however, haven't had that particular Social Studies class, and now they have started to realize what they have unleashed.

Shining Armor has a crush on the new girl at school.

His little sister Twilight thinks there's something wrong with this newcomer.

This story is a sequel to The Hero: Cozy Glow...?

In the last story, Cozy Glow became a super hero, mostly due to severe brain damage. You should probably read that before you get any further into this description, because spoilers abound! Part of the Cozy Hero continuity.

Living with Luna's been going pretty well for the filly the past few weeks, but with Hearth's Warming coming up, Luna urges her to go out and make some real friends. Cozy has her hooves full between that, her studies, and her super heroics, but to make matters worse it seems destiny has decided to get involved and dump even more responsibility on her.

Can't a former megalomaniacal psychopath catch a break?

No?

Well, you know what they say. If you can't catch a break, make your own. By breaking things. What? It works for Dash!

If you want more Cozy after reading this, check out The Mirror.

The public is dying to know: why did Cozy try to drain all magic from their world? Why did she try to trap the Elements of Harmony in Tartarus? How could she bear to let six classmates be sent to another dimension forever? Did she have a good reason for what she did, or was it naked self-interest?

Renowned investigative journalist Eff Stop decides to interview her and find out.

This story shares continuity with The Ending of the End - Love and Tolerance Edition, but absolutely no knowledge of that story is needed to enjoy this one.

After an evening of drinking too much cider, Princess Twilight Sparkle and Eric Reed both wake up in the same bed. Twilight's bed, to be exact. All they remember is what happened before their first cup of cider, but everything after it is a blur.

They look for their friends to ask them what happened while they were drunk, hoping they didn't do anything they might regret.

In fact, would the hung-over pair even want to know?

This story takes place after the events of the story A Giant Adventure to Equestria. However, it's not required to read it first to understand this story (and laugh) other than to learn the human OC Eric Reed's backstory and how his bonds with the other characters formed.

Edit: made the feature list on 02/24/20!!

This story is a sequel to Octavia Melody Rejects A Burrito

Her next stop is the Frozen North and the Crystal Empire. Looking forward to the next leg of her journey, she certainly doesn't expect her life to change while en route.
