This story is a sequel to A Silent Film

If you were to ask Vintage Cinema, a writer of true mystery books, Applewood has a long history of darkness underneath the glitz and glamor. His attention has turned to the Equestrian Society for Film Preservation in hopes of finding a film that is linked to his ancestor who disappeared during the silent film era. While his hunch does pay off, he finds that the film he has been looking for might have more than one mystery wrapped in its film reel.

A huge thank you to Lotus Moon and her cast for bringing this story to life.

Dear Mrs. Rich,

To be honest, I wasn’t sure how to start this. Not because I don’t have anything to tell, but I’m not exactly sure how to put this into words. I imagine if anypony else were in my horseshoes, there probably isn’t any easy way to even admit it out loud – let alone write this down. Maybe the best way to do so is to just come up front and say it: no sugar-coating, no white lies, no twisting of anything. I’m just going to come out and say it.

My name is Abila, I’m one of the cashiers at your husband’s store, and I… I had sex with your husband twice a week for the past three years – he pays me.

Silver Tray was certain that he was going to be fired for sure. In all the years he had been as a waiter for the meals of the Royals, he had made a mistake that got him yelled at by Prince Blueblood. He was certain that his years of stability were over. But as he was preparing to leave the palace, Celestia comes to see if everything is alright.

On paper, this should have worked.

The young six didn't intend to be roped into Summer School, and Twilight knew it. She knew the reasons for their slipping grades given that they have saved Equestria a few times, and she knew that it was rather unfair that they have to study again to retake their final test. But upon remembering a game she played when she was in the human world, she hoped to try to make their time fun by borrowing it and having it altered. In hindsight, maybe she shouldn't have made a deal with Discord for a shortcut. Maybe she should have heeded Sunset's warning about magic and human technology mixing - especially one that was decades old.

Nevertheless, the game that was meant to teach her students about world history, culture, and geography, has turned into a race to stop a thief from unleashing chaos.

So it's up to her, her students, and you to find out... Where is Carmen Sandiego?

Canterlot. Once upon a time it was a golden city where it was the beating heart of Equestria's culture, power, and wealth - now abandoned. After magic was lost and the three pony tribes separated, it is long assumed that Canterlot was simply a mythical place - a legend where it probably didn't exist. Or if there were such a place, then it's more than likely that nopony has lived there for a very, very long time.

Nopony lives there anymore... Except for a very old unicorn. Who long believed that he might be the only pony left in the whole world. He passes the time by recovering and recording whatever music he could find. A Music Catcher of sorts.

His name is Inverno. And this, is his story.

Warning: The following story is currently unedited and follows more of a Twilight Zone episode.

What you are about to witness is a nightmare. Her name is Cozy Glow. Though she may be young, she is a genius manipulator, strategist, and child actress who has conned herself into the most significant role of all. She will be our guide into a world where “truth” and “lie” no longer have meaning. Where the darkest Machiavellian instincts are given free rein; and tolerance has become a thing of the past. With no one to balance out her newfound power, Cozy Glow can shape Equestria in any way she pleases, by whatever means necessary. Yet, this young tyrant will have to deal with the fallout of her own making. She will have no outside help within her borders… of The Twilight Zone.

WARNING: The following story you are about to read does contain m/m and the complicated life of a gay character from teenage to adulthood. If you do not like that sort of thing, you know where the exit button is.

Hoity Toity. In Canterlot he's known to be a well-respected fashion designer and critic. His line of work is a unique mix of old and new, experimenting with styles and colors to create something marvelous. All one has to do is walk by the window display of his shop where ponies would covet the latest design of clothes.

But in the fashion world, Hoity himself is somewhat of a mystery. Very few ponies know about who he was before his rise to fame. For the first time, this story had been pieced together by those who knew Hoity to give an exclusive inside look at the pony behind the clothes.
