Twilight Sparkle wakes up one morning, to find she's living with her family and is a filly again. She's not in Canterlot but in Ponyville though, and that's just the beginning of the changes. Like her new school, and the identity of the Headmare...

Ever wonder how each of the Power Ponies came to be?

Wonder how Fili-second got her speed, or how Radiance got those diamonds that allow her to create constructs?

Well if you do then pick this story up and you'll see each of the Power Ponies in their true original origin stories. That's right this story contains the heroes original origin stories before they were either changed or updated for the modern readers.

So sit back and read the original origin stories of the Power Ponies.

Through a miraculous and cruel twist of fate, Sombra has survived death yet again. However, his many defeats have left him broken and near feral, and the Princesses see no option but to lock him away. Starlight Glimmer, seeing more than the rage and hate the others see, feels pity for the fallen king, and offers to take Sombra under her care to try and reform him.

She quickly finds out Sombra's more broken than anyone believes, and it's going to be a rocky road to redemption, but even the darkest shadows can take solace in the starlight.

Cookie goes to see Rarity after they have a fight and both unload some worries they've been holding for a very long time.

Gilda and Scootaloo are suspicious of their friend Rainbow Dash acting differently during her and Soarin's wedding preparations. They soon discover something every creature else did not know: Lightning Dust had finally returned and is impersonating Rainbow the whole time as revenge for the reckless pegasus' fate the last time they saw each other in 'The Washouts'.

The incomplete fan fiction that motivated this story's creation was written by Skullkittenz the Reaper on fan fiction. I made a few twitches such as getting Gilda involved and making Lightning the antagonist instead of Spitfire, since making good characters look bad is something I will never do. Plus, Spitfire may have shown some bad values before in 'Rainbow Falls' where she reveals her selfishness when she dumped Soarin for a better flyer, and was willing to take away someone else's need for her own desires, alongside Fleetfoot, dishonesty when she deceived Soarin and Rainbow into believing her lies so she could get what she wanted, and immorality when she did what was obviously wrong, but she is not immoral to the point of being evil as a villain.

As a filly, Twilight Sparkle used her incredible magic to hatch a dragon egg. That dragon then became her lifelong companion, friend, and even sibling: Smolder.

Now Smolder has a chance to learn more about her own kind by meeting a dragon born and raised in the Dragon Lands. She has to figure out what to do next and what that could mean for her--and her family.

I have to give a special thanks to Halira for offering feedback, suggestions, and advice throughout the course of writing this project. I don't think I would have been able to stay motivated through this project without her help and support.

I also need to thank Lawra, Nailah, and Gaby for offering some feedback, pre reading, and edits to this story.

I really can't thank them enough for their help, and it genuinely means the world to me!

Second dates are the make and break factor in any relationships, it's like the rules of feminism.

Set shortly after the final scene of Season 9.

Months after the end of it all, Spike and Ember have a conversation on a familiar, lonely cliffside. Because even when it's over, the friendships we made along the way will go on. They look different—everything is different—but if you look hard enough, you might still be able to recognize the same magic. Faded, but still growing.
