In the corner of the library, there is a small shelf.
It lies between A Complete History of Equestria, and the Romance collection, gathering dust.
It is a collection of short stories and entries titled When We Were Young.
A/N: Rated teen for sensitive subjects such as suicide and drug abuse, loss and a few others mixed in.
Hello there, this is an idea which has been playing on my mind for a while, I'm not going to say how long. But this was a small spin-off about just how quickly the small things can change into big things. So you might look at it as an analogy for the chaos effect. Just... not a very nice one.
Anyway, have a read and see what you think.

The moving away stories all seem very familiar... just over-used or did you pseudo-steal them from someplace or another?

Partially due to my own headcanon, and partially because it fits in with my stories.
I'm sure I have some stories somewhere which aren't 'Moving away' stories.
Maybe.
I don't steal the concepts though, I think those up myself. If they just happen to have such a story with a very familiar plot device in there somewhere, it's coincidence.
Coincidence I tell you!

I'm all for TwiDash, but I kinda feel bad for Pinkie here, I'm not sure if it was mentioned, but how long had Dash been dating Pinkie by this point?
Regardless, I shall not let my sleep deprived state disturb you anymore... Sleep easy under Luna's moon and may you rise under Celestia's sun, fare thee well.

Same for you my friend.
And I'll probably throw a few more tidbits into the next chapter to fill in some of the missing information
I do kinda feel bad for Pinkie, too. She's happily dating Dash for who knows how long, they're both worried about Twilight and planning an intervention. Suddenly Twilight shows her face, the intervention is called off, and for all Pinkie can tell she totally falls off the face of Equestria for all that her girlfriend and close friend can care.
Then again, love rarely is fair or without a losing party. Life's a bitch that way. Not everything can be solved with threesomes.
Edit: I feel like that very last sentence is one I'll have to include if ever I'm giving someone life advice.
Only one thing to say really.

Hrm. All told, I like the chapter, but not too keen on how the Nightmare is written. Maybe it's just me, but it seems too melodramatic, too cliché villain. I've never really been one for the evil-voice-in-the-head with proper dialogue, I guess. Not really a major thing though, just my personal preference. Either way, nice to see another chapter on this and to continue seeing Dash's recovery and Twi's downward spiral.

Thanks for the comment, I guess what I was trying to do was to make it sound like the side of Twilight which has truly lost control, look at the two parallels so to speak and use it as a guide to how far she has left.
Yes I did just make that up on the spot, but it's actually true.
Good news though, she's not going to have that voice in the head for much longer.
2036652 I understand, yeah. Like I say, it's not exactly a bad thing, I just find that proper dialogue from a head-voice feels cheesy. S'just me :P I feel kinda sorry for Twi, too. She killed the stallion in the end anyway and didn't even get Scoot's life out of the deal.
i am preparing for the feels
Is this story...gone? :C
5852421 Mostly forgotten I think.
It's probably unlikely to be continued for that matter - at least not in the near future. This frankly isn't a very good story and looking at it is not good for my health. If it ever does get continued, or at least seriously considered for continuation, it'd either be re-worked completely, or completely destroyed from here.
Yeah... it's pretty much gone.
