The Circle but in Equestria characters. There isn't really a main character, 8 characters enter into this socializing competition, and more may enter, and most will leave. Who will win the 100,000 bit prize? We have many personalities and creatures here. Only one can take it, lets break through the line and into the area!

What if Twilight had to replace Stygian in the Pony of Shadows? For a while, they'd just have to move on with their lives until The Pony Of Twilights, formally The Pony of Shadows could be seen again and the Mane 5, even some with relationships, have to fight to get their friend back. But can they?

Note: Spike in my AU will have also come to Ponyville due to the Rainboom and will be the same age as everypony, around 24.
