Friendship was power, and power gave me control. I decided where I went, decided what I did, decided how to live. I told myself I'd never lose control, that I'd never be trapped. All of Equestria would bow to me.

I won't be trapped.

Not again.

It occurred one peaceful night. Half of Equestria awoke to the sound like a double-shot thunderclap. A percussion heard in the skies and rattling windows from Apploosa, to Canterlot, to Ponyville. Nopony knew what it was or what it heralded for the world as it drew a line across the nation.

For Twilight Sparkle, this isolated incident might have faded from memory after a time, if not for the strange rumors of a creature sitting on the hill on the outskirts of town.

These are her thoughts given written form. These are Sparkle's Notes.

Report EVERYTHING to the Princess.

After the catastrophic failure, and subsequent destruction of his spacecraft. Captain Randolph 'Randy' Edwards is crippled, lucky to have lost only his lower legs to the burning thanks to the heroic efforts of Princess Luna. With the relief of all his friends on Equis, now it was only a matter of time before Randy's race followed up on his discoveries. Though instead of flying ships descending on the planet once again. Humanities response came with a simple little ping.

(A sequel to Arrow 18 Mission Logs: Lone Ranger)
It all started with an unexpected visitor. A single, curious individual from farther away than anypony could ever have fathomed. At first, a curiosity of a creature to be minded by the Princess' protégé. Then a spectacle as he took ponies where they had never gone before. And finally, an ambassador who brought an entire planet together with the simple realization that there are more important things out there than petty squabbles.

And it all almost went up in a fireball.

But friends don't let friends die so long as they have the power to rend the heavens on sheer force of will.

Now stuck in a hospital bed, Captain Randolph Edwards, commander of the one-man space mission to the anomalous planet known as "Equestria", must wait for a rescue that will be a year in the making... Minimum.

What ever will he do with himself?

DanielScratchAnimations has made an audio reading of the first chapter. It can be found at https://youtu.be/tVgQLM6HrQI.

For any reader who is thinking about audio adaptations, two individual groups are working on versions. I'll attach links when they are done. I am not interested in any other adaptations being done.

Dimitri was an average gopnik who had emerged from the remains of the Soviet Army. Then he got transported to Equestria by Celestia. She told him to go make friends in Ponyville. She also destroyed all his vodka, calling it poison. He swears revenge.

Short one-shot in honor of the founding of the Red Army this year that I forgot about.

The Test that the Tree gave to the Young Six may have been unorthodox, to say the least, but it seemingly had desirable results for their friendship.

But what if things had happened differently? What if, instead of Smoulder finding Ocellus, Sandbar completed his test first? Find out inside!

Written for The Discovery - A Young Six Writing Contest, and also to help break a nasty case of writer's block.

Yona experiences the wonders of a nice cup of cocoa on a cold winter day for the first time, and she's eager to share her discovery with her friends and family back home!

Yakyakistan may never recover.
