I didn't ask for this, any of this. But now that I'm here, might as well make the most of it. But, why am I here? What purpose does my presence here serve to Equestria?

Author Notes: Yes, this is a HIE story. Yes, I know how much people hate self inserts or anything similar to it. And yes, I don't care what people say about this. I'm writing this because I feel like it and nobody can stop me from doing it. To quote Eminem, "See you can hate 'em, he don't blame you frankly he would too." Since I can't use too many character tags, just assume I'll be using every character from the show.

(While I actually thought of the title and premise for this story by listening to Aerosmith's Permanent Vacation, the current cover art just seemed to fit the opening chapter better.)

Note that the Gore tag is simply because of things like characters getting stabbed, shot, etc... Nothing too graphic or descriptive, but better safe than sorry.

Sweetie Belle finally gets to help Rarity, but things quickly get out of hand...

Twilight Sparkle is getting a special version of a new book and she can't wait to read it in its unspoiled state! But an interruption from Rainbow Dash changes that.

Rainbow Dash is getting a promotion! But that promotion turns out the be something she never thought of doing in a million years.

Based on this comic

Fear is a powerful weapon. Twilight has never shown fear before when faced with villains such as Nightmare Moon. But there is one thing that causes her fear to this day.
