A symbol falls, and what it stands for soon follows.
When devastating events occur, shattering the hearts and minds of ponies everywhere, many will have their spirits tested, their resolve questioned.
Their world torn asunder, and with the threat of a cosmic horror, a select few souls will traverse a universe very different to the one they know, and one where the symbols they stand for do not exist.
And no single pony will be able to restore harmony to their world.

But they will never be alone.

Nothing is forever.

Equestria Daily Approved!
What happens if, due to an unlikely series of plot devices, everypony's favourite background ponies were brought together for a hilarious adventure? That's what this fanfiction explores as Octavia, DJ P0N-3, Lyra, Bon Bon, Doctor Whooves and Derpy go on their own little experiences, reminiscent of the Mane 6's adventures.

Cello edition.
Originally written on September, 2011. (Before Season 2)
Also FIMFiction needs to allow one more character tag. Poor Doctor Whooves wants his own tag on this story.

Each chapter (or set of chapters) is intended to be mostly self-contained, following a formula similar to the show, albeit more comedic-ally.
