A socially awkward, physically and scholastically challenged pony finds it hard to be happy in School. This is the Origin story of an overlooked background pony. It might not be that big of a twist, but I tried my best.

For the purpose of secrecy, I will not show Characters.

Luna has faced many challenges since her return as princess. Despite many being aware of her situation, the name "Nightmare Moon" always manages to rear it's ugly head and get her discriminated. The fear and hatred of others has become unbearable for the poor princess.

Join Luna on her quest as she learns to make friends, face her inner demons, and come to terms with her short comings. With the help of a familiar lavender pony, and someone not so familiar, Luna will come discover the magic of friendship and what lies beyond.

A/N: I want to give a ton of credit to Aurora, who has been so ever so gracious as to proofread and help polish this fic to the Nth degree since chapter 5. She deserves a ton of love so please visit her page and check her fics out too!

This is also follow-up to my previous story, "This is enough..." While it's not necessary to read it, I encourage readers to check it out to gain some background on the universe I plan to write most if not all my fics in and around!

Disclaimer: This fiction was written prior to the completion of season 3 of MLP: FiM. As such, it may contain inaccurate story elements and similarities that are purely coincidental. Please keep this in mind while you read it and I hope you enjoy the fic!

The ponies' everyday lives if they were humans. Each couple of chapters is based on a different character. For example, first few is Derpy, next up is Rainbow Dash, then Fluttershy, etc. You get it. In this fanfic, they never WERE ponies and never WILL BE ponies. That's the point. I want to see what the outcome is if they are all human with the same personalities and such as on the show. Their full names won't be "Twilight Sparkle" or "Rainbow Dash" because that would be unrealistic. Those will just be their nicknames. Anyways, enjoy, and please comment, it's what motivates me to keep writing.

What happens when Metal fight beyblade characters enter in the magical land of Equestria? What will Lyra and her background pony friends do to help? (Any beyblade fans out there?)

I'm getting bored of this story, so I'm cancelling it. Have a nice day.

Sugarcube Corner has been getting less costumers because of traveling season. Thus, Mr and Mrs. Cake tell their only worker Pinkie Pie to look for a second job. Pinkie takes the advice, not knowing that she is going to become an entirely different pony.

(Does contain very, very light background shipping: Button Mash x Sweetie Belle)

Snips and Snails are these two colts who turn out to be brothers as well as unicorns. They live in the local town of Ponyville and go to school there. Many of the ponies tend not to pay plenty of attention to them, but when Snips and Snails think up of something mischievous to do, then they start getting attention. They obviously get into a whole heap of trouble as well.
Enjoy these laugh-out-loud stories featuring two of your favorite background ponies, getting ready for some of their major comic roles.

The tale of a usual colt with an exceptional thought. One that doesn't belong in the mind of a young pony. But that's the dilemma. He's a pony of Equestria, wistful of what lies beyond.

Starting three years before "The Last Problem." (Season 9, Episode 26)

He's an ordinary background pony like everypony else. A blank flank that resides in a small nameless town where it lightly snows near Luna Bay—a mysterious magical phenomenon and mundane environment with a bleak, wintry gray ambiance.

Remember his parents. Although doting, they would never endorse a young pony with such a dream. Right?

And what about that familiar sense ponies experience when nearing their purpose?

¿? — ”You're nothing but a fool. An unusual dreamer with some rootless alibi...” — ¿?

That's right. This is the story of how he...

His world collapsed. Everything he knew, believed and loved, everything he was, disappeared, swallowed by darkness of his own doing. This agony continued until a light dispersed the shadows, along with what was left of him. Knowing that leaving this world would be a fitting punishment for his crimes, he was ready to accept whatever was to come. However, by a cruel joke of the Universe, a twist of fate, or just a pure coincidence, he was given another chance, to redeem himself, to fix what was destroyed... Maybe even find a true love?

Her world was simple, filled with love for her friends and various creatures that always longed to be with her. While content with how peaceful her life was, one incident and a meeting changed the outlook she had. This one stallion helped her when she was in dire need, and now she wanted to repay his kindness, despite her initial fear of him, and unaware of him slowly becoming a constant to both her thoughts and her heart.

This is my very first story for "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" fandom. English isn't my native anguage, I'm not a shipper of any kind (I accept practically all pairings if they make sense to me), therefore my only request to readers is that you give this story a chance. I'm open-minded for constructive critique and will gladly answer any technical questions, should those arise.

Disclaimer: I do not own MLP:FiM or any character presentented in this story and I don't have any financial or material benefits from writing it.

The concept of Sombra's past and the crystal cutie mark on the cover belongs to StasySolitude. Vector of Fluttershy's cutie mark was made by Hawk9mm, and the background was made by Tollaner.

The story was inspired by this video: A tale of one shadow

The cover was put together by me!

Luna's not in a rush to get married, but a mare does like feeling wanted, you know? So who cares if her first date in centuries is with some forgettable wannabe background pony? At least it will result in a night out of the castle, some much-needed romantic attention, and get her 'back in the game,' so to speak. And that's better than yet another night in, right?

It's a good thing that Celestia knows what's best for her little sister.

(Inspired from a video by the Pulitzer Prize-winner, snappy dresser, and all-around good egg TJ Pones!)

Rated "Teen" for allusions to the horizontal mambo. Nothing explicit, but better safe than sorry, right?

After the rough years of defending Equestria from the great threats that promised dread amongst many ponies, Princess Twilight Sparkle, now a vampire with a rough background entrusts in her skills to defend her home, and those she loves from even the darkest hearts out there. Will she protect those precious to her? Keep her vigilant identity concealed? And will her status as being a vampony remain quiet from two trusted individuals; Spike the Dragon and an Blacksmith from another Dimension named Willomena Christine Pie AKA Weepy Cry?

With a dark secret and a mysterious cloaked figure keeping to the shadows, the peaceful life Twilight Sparkle wishes to live may just as well be nay impossible.

EDIT: Character tags will be added as the story progresses, so don't believe this story is only centering around Twilight and Weepy. And for future reference, Weepy Cry belongs to the tumblr blog The Elements of Discord.
