Twilight agree's to be a test subject in order to help Fluttershy master her stare ability. What can go wrong?

After the rocket was launched, everyone celebrated. The Combine could no longer send reinforcements to earth, and the remaining troops were now isolated. However, Lamarr, a headcrab under Kleiner's care, jumps into the rocket before launch and goes along with it to space. Fortunately for Lamarr, an unknown phenomenon occurs, launching the headcrab into dimensions far away.

What if Twilight Sparkle hadn't been such a pushover in The Ticket Master? What if she had been just a little bit more...spiteful?

Remember S1E3: The Ticket Master? It bothered the hell out of me that Twilight just let her so-called friends walk all over her like that, so...call this a dark humor catharsis fic.

After deciding to join the new date mail service Magic Match, Twilight gains an anonymous pen pal. However, she and her new friend (who goes by the name AwesomeCupcake152) make a pact – not to share any personal information.

But, as letters continue to pass through her mailbox, Twilight realizes something. She has feelings for this pony. This anonymous pony. In order to tell the mysterious pony of her dreams this, she must first ... find them.

But sometimes, the thing you want the most has been right in front of you the whole time.

Proof read by Sharp Spark

It happened all too quickly, one moment we were engaged, the next moment she was sick and then... she was gone; how could anyone ever be expected to deal with that. I just don't know how to cope, especially without my wings. Who is Rainbow Dash if she can't fly?

And who am I without her? I am nothing.

I'm sorry Twi, so so sorry.

Written for the Annual TwiDash Contest

Princess Twilight has seen some strange things in the past few years. She made the best friends a mare could have, she had some amazing adventures, became an alicorn princess, saved the world a few times, and got a palace to call her very own. Yet for all that, the strangest has yet to come.

There are new strangers in Ponyville. That's not too odd, but they're not ponies. They're human! But they're not like any human Twilight saw on the other side of the Mirror. Their magic isn't like anything she's ever seen, either. She'd love to learn more, but there's a problem. These humans could give Fluttershy lessons in keeping out of sight.

Dealing with snooping aliens was not exactly what Twilight had planned to put on top of her royal agenda.

I started writing this back before Season Five. It's not a new idea, not hardly, but no matter how many first contact stories I sifted through, always it was from the alien perspective. The pony perspective would come to the fore only rarely, and usually only with sizable external influences.

This story takes the idea of an alien observation team but is entirely from the locals' standpoint. What do you do when there's an alien science outpost next door?

Twilight finds her mind drifting off more and more into thoughts regarding the newly-met amateur astronomer, Comet Tail. She realizes these are thoughts of not only infatuation, but thoughts that tell her she saw him before. But where?
Eventually, she finds out...and she's not happy with who she remembers him as. Can he prove his sincerity? Maybe Twilight's B.B.B.F.F. can clear things up? Or will Twilight let this comet pass without so much as a glance on her part?
Written in response to (what I felt was) a severe lack of TwilightxCometTail works, as well as one comic that posits a theory on how Shining Armor got his cutie mark: http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/128/b/3/summer_skies_by_fongsaunder-d4yy4mt.jpg

The Harmony Games: a competition of gladitorial combat meant to promote harmony and friendship between the clans of Equestria. The idea that combat can promote friendship is idiotic to Twilight, like friendship itself. She doesn't have time to be playing children's games; there's a serious threat predicted and she has to find it before something catastrophic happens. How can 'friendship' possibly be of any use?
