It's the night before the 1000th Summer Sun Celebration and the Royal Guards assigned to Ponyville are arriving to secure the town. Among them is Jade Storm, the newest and youngest member of the Royal Guard. In fact, he is one of the youngest ponies ever to join the royal guard directly from the academy. He was immediately resented by his fellow guards and rumours swirled around about meddling noble families and favouritism.

Jade simply carried on as best he could since joining the guard was his dream for many years. For him, this was his way to prove he was able to stand on his own hooves. To show those ponies who turned their backs on him that he had value. Most of all, it was a way for Jade Storm to convince himself he wasn't useless like he had been told by nearly everypony he knew. Someday a chance to prove himself would arise and he would take that opportunity without hesitation.

Gore Tag: The early chapters have some violent events and descriptions of injuries that may be disturbing to some readers.

What if your hopefull and positive outlook of life were more fragile than you think?

There is a place in Equestria call Happy Town. This is town that veneer the concept of joy and everypony do their best to achieve it. All, except for one. That lone pony disagree with the philosophy of its home, seeing as a hypocrisy. And so, he plan to show all Equestria the cracks of that way of living. In an extreme and cruel way.

One day, the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony, Twilight and her friends, have been sent on a mission to go to Happy Town. An ancient ruin of a time long forgotten had been found nearby and the Mane 6 have for task to investigate it. Using that opportunity, that pony kidnap them all and use the strange machinery of those ruins to organize a game. A game where each of the Bearers will be put to a trial that have for goal to shatter their optimist.

This might be the bigger test they will have to face. Will the power of their friendship will prevail?

It has been ten long years since her beloved husband Shining Armor had passed away, and Princess Cadance is just now starting to feel the sting of loneliness as her daughter Princess Flurry Heart now rules over the Southern reaches of Equestria and no longer lives with her... While the servants provide some respite, the truth is, the princess of love is now very lonely, especially without anypony to love...

Then, one fateful day, Cadance gets a postcard in the mail from Princess Celestia! It says she wishes to see Cadance soon... Cadance, with the empire more or less under control, can easily afford to take a trip without much trouble... She finally decides to take Celestia up on her offer, but what she encounters isn't exactly what she expects...

Spike always thought the hardest part was getting Rarity to say yes. Well it turns out that that was just the beginning. With dates to schedule, invitations to send out, venue reservations to make, dress preparations to complete, and new in-laws to deal with on top of his usual responsibilities, the princess’s number one advisor would’ve had enough on his plate without the fear of the legendary “Bridezilla” rearing it’s ugly head and leaving everything in ruins.

The only way to keep the mighty ender of marriages at bay is to make sure Rarity’s stress levels stays low, and if that means Spike will need to plan the whole thing by himself, then so be it.

This day is going to be perfect. No matter what.
