Rainbow Dash has been away from the school of friendship for a while, and Fluttershy is very worried. She decides to go to her friends home to check on her, only to find that something awful has happened.

Scootaloo gets her cutie mark for making a new kind of vehicle. Which isn't just any talent, but a special (case) one.

Seven Serenity was nice enough to put this together for me. The source for the scooter she used: Caffeinejunkie.

This story is a sequel to Obsessions

Rainbow Dash has told Fluttershy of her bad thoughts and obsessions, and has promised to tell Twilight too.

She doesn't know if she can do it.

On the eve of Nightmare Night, Rainbow Dash is attacked by a mysterious horde of monsters and forced to flee her home. Even with Twilight's help, the situation soon grows dire, and both of them must band together to escape a fate too horrible to imagine.

Co-Written with Berserker88 for the Monster Mares 2nd Annual Contest.

Jedi Knight Revan Blake has barely managed to escape the clutches of the empire. Order 66 has destroyed the only home and family he has ever known, in desperation Revan gathers what he can of Jedi knowledge and jumps into hyper space. Using the force to guide him, he picks a random system, knowing full well he could run into a sun or a meteor belt.

Trusting the Force, he jumps into hyperspace with the goal of protecting Jedi history and teachings. However, as he travels something goes wrong, some unknown force pulls his ship from hyperspace and makes his freighter crash into the Everfree forest.

Being the only human, the only jedi, the only force user, Celestia offer him a home in the hopes he may find the peace he needs. However, the force awakes, and Revan knows he is the only one who can teach it safely, the only question is, should he?

What unknown path has open up for our young Jedi!

It was never the intention of an actually very caring golden maned mare, to do the terrible damage she did to five respected heroes of Equestria. Yet even in a land as fair as fair Equestria, the gift of redemption is harder for some than for others.
Good intentions alone can't save a criminal from their punishment.
Yet even in punishment, the magic of friendship and the elements of harmony can shine bright.

For some criminals who seek retribution, freedom is a long walk rather than a brisk run.
Yet Wonderbolts never yield.
And if there is one great statement that Commander Hurricane himself coined in the glory days of the Wonderbolts, it is that one should never laugh at former Wonderbolts.

When life gives you one of those chances to be like Celestia and let your students do all the work, why ignore it?

Sometimes OCD doesn't look like washing, cleaning and organizing.

Sometimes it looks like running away from a friend because you're afraid you'll hurt them.

Rainbow Dash knows this and understands it. There is one friend she can always ask for help on those days. Hopefully, there will soon be more.

War. The dreaded topic in every household in Equestria.
For Rainbow, she has to face it. She's been drafted to fight for the lives of thousands of ponies. Ponies she loves, and ponies she doesn't even know alike.
She's the element of Loyalty. She'll do what she has to.
That doesn't make it any less easy.
For her, for Soarin, for the Wonderbolts, for her friends.
She was once a star. That star... turned into a scar. Is there a way back? Or is there a message, a story, behind that scar, that gives her a way forward?

Big special thanks to Ninjadeadbeard, for prereading, rereading, and friendship!
For two someone specials.

Applejack takes some time to reflect, and get in touch with her love of rope and riding crops. Rainbow Dash wishes AJ was less in touch with herself.
