It's the inescapable question, no matter what type of interview. Ponies just can't help themselves.

No harm done, though. Sapphire knows her answer will always be the same.

A former antagonist has been offered new possibilities and has opened pathways to a brand-new life with the help of advanced technology. This simple operation has opened doors for the reformed villain, providing fresh opportunities for a better future.

This is my submission for the Cyberpunk Equestria Story Contest.
I would like to give my thanks to Mocha Star for all the editing they provided.

This is not part of the May Pairing Event of 2023, though I did get the idea from it. I wanted to try my hand at making something odd.

Overworked and exhausted at the never-ending struggle against nightmares, Princess Luna shirks her solemn duty for some solace. She heads to the Ponyville outskirts where a vast grassland waits for her there; a place where she can clear her head from all of the troubles that stem from her demanding job.

While taking in the tranquil plain, Princess Luna is suddenly joined by Maud, the eldest of the Pie Sisters.

Cozy Glow can't remember the last time she'd felt the need—or had the ability—to blink. But with Stygian, a pony she vaguely recalls, standing in front of her and saying that she's Equestria's only hope? That definitely deserves a blink or two...

One evening, Twilight Velvet, book editor for Hoovesbury Publishing and mother of two, meets her newest client: aspiring writer Sunny Skies, who writes of distant lands and people from across the world, who has as many secrets as Celestia has loving subjects.

It didn't matter to her much, so long as Sunny did her work, and Velvet hers. But as the seasons pass by and their acquaintance grows, Velvet finds that perhaps she and Sunny are more alike than she could have ever imagined.

Set before Season 1.

There have been a number of changes in Zipp Storm's life, ranging from moving away from home to rediscovering the lost secret of magic. Some things remain the same, however, such as her typical morning routine, as well as the popstar shenanigans of her sister, Pipp Petals. Sometimes, those two aspects happen to converge upon each other.

Contains the following: shortstack, hyper, muscle, size difference antics, exercise woes, sweat, and sibling tension that ultimately takes a turn for the wholesome.

Even years after Twilight took the throne, there's plenty of excitement in Ponyville. The question isn't whether something interesting will happen, but how ridiculous it will be.

Going by how Snips and Snails are at the epicenter of this one, Apple Bloom's bumping up her initial estimate.

[Not really a sequel. But why not?]

She did some stuff in the forest.

Well... That we think she did. We are not sure. Nobody noticed the epic fail.

Being a connoisseur of failures, Trazyn the Infinite sought Chrysalis.

There's something Queen Haven never told her daughters about Cloudpuff. The adorable puppy can't tell them, it's a secret that needs to be locked inside of a cage.
