Throughout all of time, the species known as the vampire fruit bat has been ridiculed and put down as an ugly farmer's pest, or a rodent, or a piece of vermin that needed to be destroyed. Never have they been treated fairly, with kindness, and so never have they felt included, which eventually led to their downward spiral as a species in general. The fruit bats themselves believed they were never meant to be anything but rodents that ate fruit. It was just how life worked, and life wasn't fair.

However, when one group of vampire fruit bats is brainwashed to deny the reason they believe they exist, what will they do next? Is it possible they could become a civilized species as opposed to a mindless group of fruit-eating pests? And what - or who - could possibly help them achieve this goal?

There's a plague infecting Equestria, and Diamond Tiara has taken it upon herself to cure it. They may be stronger in number and in sheer absurdity, but she's got a little something special to even the odds.

That something being a three-foot long magically enchanted samurai sword. Look, nobody said this was gonna be pretty.

(Written for the FIMFiction Writeoff Association's inaugural writeoff. The prompt was "Lonely Happiness". I got a bit creative with it.)

After witnessing her mother being violated by a stallion in public, and nopony doing anything to stop it, Diamond Tiara decides to take the law into her own hooves. Watch out criminal scum, there's a new guardsmare in town, and her name is Diamond Dazzle Tiara!

Hopes. Dreams. Aspirations. They're what everyone survives, and even thrives, on. What happens, then, when hopes and dreams are dashed? When something so monumentally destructive and life-changing occurs, and dreams, hopes, even ponies' lives are thrown into turmoil, where can solace be found? When somepony's entire world comes crumbling around them, who can they turn to for support? What can they do when everything they once had is shattered?

Think of everything you hate about people online. Now bundle up all those bad traits and throw it into a pony. You now have Caps Lock: an over opinionated, egotistic pony that simply enjoys the anguish of others.

Now throw that pony into Ponyville Elementary School, and you get this story.

How far would you go for love? Would you travel across the world? Face peril whatever the danger? Even sacrifice your own being? Rainbow Dash will have to answer these questions as she tries to find a forbidden mirror to bring back the one she both loved and lost. But at what price will it be?

Originally publish in 01-15-12. This story has been rewritten.

One foggy morning in Ponyville, the residents wake up to find their deepest darkest secrets sloppily written in red paint on their homes. No one knows who the culprit was, the only thing that the town knows is that it will not come off, no matter how hard you scrub. The town is baffled, humiliated, and in shambles. But no more than Twilight and her friends.

In a time where everything you fought to keep hidden is out into the open, will you embrace your faults or sins, or will you let them consume just who you really are?

Time to fess up, Ponyville.

All he knows is that minty fresh breath will be the least of his worries.
