It's business as usual as Twilight is called away on a friendship problem. But this time, the ponies accompanying her are the three other princesses, and their mission is to stop a cult! Strange things happen...VERY strange things.

DISCLAIMER: This is an old FanFiction story that I'm transferring here as I continue the transitional period between platforms, so it might be a little shaky to begin with. All the same, I hope you enjoy it!

Several balls of darkness appeared throughout the world, slowly expanding and spreading, eating and absorbing everything it touches. Soon, it will devour the world. Celestia may have found what it was and how to stop it; however, it is no easy task. The Jewel of Life, an old and mythical artifact able to destroy all evil. The journey they'll have to go through to find and take it is hard. Even more so when they're not the only ones looking for it.

Okay SO BEFORE YOU READ there are some important things that need to be made note of:

1) This is a story I wrote years ago and submitted only to Equestria Daily. It was long ago enough that Sethisto was still one of the major moderators that oversaw the approval of content to the website, which just kind of shows this story's age now that there are teams of moderators doing that sort of stuff. I wanted to bring it over to FiMFiction to archive it and also introduce it to a new audience. It's an early story of mine so I don't feel the dialogue or story progression is at a standard I hold today, but I still see it as passable enough to archive on my FiMFiction account. That and...

2) Literally no one cares about it but I find this hilarious and I thought I'd share it with everyone here: I made the FIRST My Little Pony/Fallout fanfiction EVER. Years ago when the most major repository for MLP fanfiction to be widely seen by the Brony fandom was Equestria Daily, I remember randomly searching EqD to see if there were any Fallout-themed MLP stories to read because I was really into playing Fallout: New Vegas at the time. There were none when I searched EqD in early 2011, so on a whim, I decided to write the first Fallout/MLP piece (To my knowledge. One could have existed on a chan board or general fanfic website before, but I didn't know of it and if it did exist it seems to have been lost to time.) My story went up on EqD on Saturday, April 23, 2011. Kkat's Fallout: Equestria story was first submitted to EqD later that year on Sunday, December 25, 2011 with the prologue, introduction, and I think the first or second chapter ready to read. Don't get me wrong, I think Kkat's story is MUCH better in terms of character, writing, and story and deserves to go down into the MLP Fanfiction hall of fame for how influential it became on the fandom. I just think it's rather hilarious that Kkat's amazing story could have been all that AND one of the first widely released Fallout/MLP fanfiction crossovers...but my stupid little rinky-dink short story stole that thunder. Still, it just goes to show that the firsts to the finish line aren't always the first to be remembered.

Anyways, please enjoy this weird little quirky tidbit of MLP Fanfiction history haha.

Story: Blue Moon by Sethisto

[Crossover][Sad] Luna and Fallout? That's the wildest combo ever! I'm pretty sure Luna stories are default awesome judging by the 20 five star stories in her part of the archive.... but can she survive a nuclear crossover?

Author: Bongo

Description: Nuclear bombs have struck Equestria and the world is plunged into a nuclear winter. Princess Celestia is soon sick with radiation poisoning while trying to protect her smaller sister, Princess Luna. The great emotional intake is starting to take its toll on Princess Luna, as her world starts to grow darker and darker with sadness and grief... Based off the apocalyptic nuclear wasteland of Fallout: New Vegas. Best read when listening to Frank Sinatra's Blue Moon.

Additional Tags: Fallout: New Vegas, flashback, nuclear radiation, Frank Sinatra, Blue Moon (FimFiction doesn't like copyrighted lyrics)

Based off: https://www.youtube.com/user/Magpiepony 's Pinkie Tales series. Please watch them, they're great.

Pinkie Pie decides to tell the Cake Twins a fairy tale that's a favorite of the Princess of the Night, but the story may be far from what she considers fitting.

On a dark and stormy evening, one young man is ripped from home to a place both familiar and yet different. Torn from everything he’s known, he’s faced with an encounter of the hoofed kind, that changes him arguably for the better. But destiny is a fickle thing. Having traded one existence for another, comparatively boring one, he’s left with little freedom but much guidance. It’s a gilded cage, one from which he can merely catch glimpses of the outside land, of magic and ponies. Fighting both cabin fever and a growing self-doubt, he must have faith, if not in himself, then in finding a way home. For if not for his sanity, then for his sake, he better have the fortitude to withstand the curve balls sent his way.

Torn from the Alpha Quadrant in 2371, The USS Voyager and her crew have been navigating their way through the previously uncharted Delta Quadrant. After four years of traveling, The crew is alerted to radio transmissions originating from a planet in the Equis System.

In that same system, an Alicorn is staring up at the night sky, wondering if there is anything out there. Nopony could have predicted the events that would come to pass within the next few days, nor the consequences that would follow.

This story is a sequel to The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan

It has been four years since Nova Shine and Twilight Sparkle sealed away Envy at the base of the Everfree Vaults and got engaged, and a lot has happened. Nova has been training to become the archmage, Twilight and her friends defeated Cozy Glow, Tirek, and Queen Chrysalis, and now here they stand, with Nova's Ascendancy to come, his and Twilight's wedding (finally) on the horizon, a new apprentice for Nova to teach, and Twilight's coronation as the Ruler of Equestria set for the coming weeks. Though it's time to say goodbye, Nova and Twilight have made their peace with their lot, and are happy to begin a new chapter as they prepare for their new lives ahead of them.

But this happy life, in the midst of upheaval and transition, does not last.

Nova discovers that his old nemesis, whom he had believed sealed away for several years more, has escaped. He also learns she is now seeking out several objects with the potential to cause untold horrors and devastation. With Equestria still reeling form the attacks by Cozy, Chrysalis, and Tirek, Twilight and Nova are forced to leap into action once again, to stop Envy before she can acquire the mythical Gems of Being, and use them to assemble the Crown of Life.

And on top of all of this, Envy isn't the only one who wants to assemble the Crown. Someone else is after it too. And if he acquires all of them, it could mean the true end of all things.

Racing against time and against their enemies, and battling themselves just as much as their foes, Nova and Twilight, his apprentice Bright Gleam, as well as their friends Aegis, Trixie, the Princesses, Star Swirl, and Sharp Eye, have their work cut out for them. They must find these Gems of Being first, or at the very least, keep them out of the hooves of Envy and the other mysterious being, in order to win a battle that will determine the very fate of the entire world, and everyone in it.

Decades from now, Twilight and her friends will all be in different positions, exploring new career paths, and still remaining friends throughout it all.

But there was a moment one year after Twilight's coronation where there was a hint of doubt if their friendships were over. Pinkie, the rest of the Mane 6, and Starlight, had the anniversary sneak up on them. With life getting crazier for all of them, the day came as a surprise. They know they have to do something about it. Given Pinkie's in the group, there's only one way to celebrate the day.

This is the story of a day that ended up being crucial for their friendships, whenever they realized it or not.

Friendship is sometimes an issue. One night, a pony is visited and ordered to give it a shot. Arriving at the scene of where she'll learn the next day, she comes to learn that sometimes we all need to be pushed into trying something new.
