Due to a possibly fatal accident Twilight has had to promote Starlight to headmare to keep an eye on her patient.

The reason we have myths and ancient legends about Unicorns, Pegasi, and other Mythical creatures is because like all myths… they have to come from somewhere. Equestria and Earth were once one and the same. Humans and mystical beings living and communicating together in peace and harmony. Then one day something happened, almost overnight if you will. Every trace of these mythical creatures vanished, whole villages and ancient cities just gone. All that remained is what was written. But even with time, that all just about vanished as well. Periodically throughout the ages there would be mention of something be spotted that is not of this earth, but when it was searched for, nothing was ever found.

Starswirl's personal journal is found along with several of his possessions in a small cave. Discord finds out he owns all of them and after a bit of poking and prodding decides to tell Fluttershy and Spike the truth of what happened during his thousand-year reign over Equestria.

*NOTE*: This story is loosely inspired by real life events, mainly the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It is meant to be the occurrence of a similar attack as it would have happened in the MLP world. *END*

Crimson Moon is a student studying at Manehattan University. She's majoring in Cognitive Science, and has gotten a new dorm room with a view of downtown.

Fallen Angel and his sister, Shining Star, are on a trip away from their home in Canterlot. Already victims of a previous attack in which their parents were killed, they've been living with a wonderful couple, and are on their first trip ever by themselves.

Firestorm is a police officer with the Manehattan Police Department. She moved to Manehattan from Fillydelphia just a year ago, and 3 weeks ago, she married a Wonderbolt.

These paths all link them into downtown Manehattan when a bomb explodes in the Crystaller Building. As Crimson Moon grabs a camera and begins to film, Firestorm provides relief effort at the scene, while Shining Star & Fallen Angel race into downtown, just to see if they can help in any way. Just by chance, their paths cross. But all it takes is those few seconds for lives to change forever.

This story is a sequel to The Moon's Special Star

How much hate could one pony have? That was something Luna had recently discovered. A pony returns holding a bloodlust grudge against two certain princesses. Fulled by pure rage along with the help of certain dangerous ponies. He will seek out his revenge by committing the most terrible crime. He will take the life of a very special pony, dear to Luna's heart.

The lunar princess is feeling like her world is crumbling around her! Death, loss, conflict, pain, and tragedy. How can she continue on with her life when everything she loves is suddenly taken away from her?

This story is now apart of a trilogy:

• The Moon's special Star
• [You are here]
• The Troublemaker Prince

Sunset Shimmer just wants to take it easy at her new high school, get her spot at the food chain set up, maybe beat up a few jocks, and dating the popular girl who won't stop making eyes at her would really bring it all together. Then what starts as a plan to save the girl she... let's say "really likes" from her worst enemy/best friend goes way further than Sunset ever imagined.

That deer. It was always that deer... began the final journal entry of the withered old stallion that lived outside Appleoosa. Wheezing out another cough, he grabbed a handkerchief from the Brown duster he wore, weathered with age and the occasional bullet hole or two from a time long past. Coughing into the cloth revealed blood.

He sighed. "Well," he chuckled. "I'll be making my way home soon, Mary..." Grabbing a hat from the chair he huddled near, he dusted it off as best as he could. Fitting it to his head, he pulled it taut using the rope tied loosely above the brim.

"We know you're in there, Morgan! It's time to give up!" Somepony yelled from outside.

Standing up, Arthur set the notebook he wrote in for the last few decades he spent in Equestria on the chair, hoping that someday his story will be told.

Redemption has a heavy cost, after all...

A few times, Equestria has gotten sights of strange objects, and an unidentified race. They will now make first contact.

In the darkest of times faced with few options, a leader has to choose what will benefit all.
