It Only Takes A MomentNOTE: THE FOLLOWING STORY CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR IDW'S "MY LITTLE PONY" ISSUE #8.




"Rarity is scared she'll be forgotten!  We must remember her, or she'll give into the Nightmare Energy forever!"
Twilight's words of warning rang clearly in the ears of each of her friends.  Each one locked eyes with her the moment she spoke them, moving quickly and without hesitation to form the circle she invited them into.
"Remember something, anything you love about her!"
And that was exactly what they did.
Rainbow closed her eyes...
...and was sulking in silence atop a little storm cloud hovering lazily through Ponyville.  Even as the cloud's little column of rain drenched anypony unlucky enough to fall under its drifting path, she could only sigh dejectedly and cross her hooves.
Until, that is, a familiar shriek snapped her back to attention.

The Divide - Chapter 3Chapter 3 - An unexpected offer

The sun was setting, albeit slower than usual. Twilight kept her eyes upon the glowing orb as it descended. She could not blame Princess Celestia for working slower than she usually did. After what had just happened, even she would feel less than enthusiastic about her work. Twilight had just come from a meeting of Equestria's leaders, and in that meeting, Lord Swift of Cloudsdale had made an announcement that had shaken Equestria to it's core. Now her beloved country was split, with Cloudsdale breaking away from the rule of the princesses.

She had no idea how Celestia and Luna were going to cope with this, oThe Divide - Chapter 3 by ~Thejboy88
The Divide - Chapter 2Chapter 2: An unpleasant meeting

It was just as Celestia had told her. Twilight's first meeting with the nobility was just as dull and tedious as she'd been warned it would be. True, she might have, at first, been struck with awe over so many nobles and high officials in one place. But now she couldn't help but recall her night at the gala, where all they would do was strut about as though they owned the place, revelling in their own sense of self-importance. Still, as pony after pony cape to Celestia to discuss whatever issues they had, Twilight had to keep reminding herself that these were, at the end of the day, mares and stallions of greThe Divide - Chapter 2 by ~Thejboy88
Chapter 9: Confusion and Clarity"Hurry! We can't be seen by anyone!" he repeated for the third time as he continued pulling Fluttershy through the side streets and alleyways of Ponyville. They ran quickly and in short bursts, stopping at every corner so he could peek around them before suddenly galloping again, with the poor yellow pegasus in tow.
"Hurry! Come on!" he whispered again.
Fluttershy couldn't take any more of this. It was scaring her too badly. She yanked her hoof away from his, saying, "No!" as loudly as she dared.
He turned in surprise. "What?" he questioned angrily.
Fluttershy backed away from him, terrified. "I-I'm sorry, Distant," she said in a frightened voice, "But you're scaring me."
He stopped for a moment. He looked at her frightened eyes staring at him like he was a monster. His face changed from menacing to that of concern. "... I am?" he said slowly.
She nodded. He looked away from her, his eyes squeezed shut. "I'm sorry," he said faintly.

Some time had passed and Spike thought that his kindness in washing and returning Rarity’s scarf would of scored him some points. Rarity still seemed to hardly notice Spike though. As he sat in math class Rarity came in and Spike gave his usual “Good morning” greeting to her. Also like usual Rarity didn’t even glance at him. He wasn’t sure if he was being ignored or if she didn’t notice. Spike sighed to himself as class began. He knew most of what was being taught today so he spent most of the class staring at Rarity with lovey-dovey eyes.

Happy BirthdayResting under the leaves of Bloomberg Jr. had become something of a birthday tradition for Applejack.  It did not matter that the trip up the relatively stout hill was becoming harder and harder on her creaky old legs; whenever she reached the top and felt that firm bark on her back, those strong roots under her legs, she was content.  It gave her a chance to really think back on the day…and on the years that stretched out wider and wider before it.

Written By Closer-To-The-Sun (Joseph Noblit)

Hoofsteps echoed through the dark hallway. A crestfallen orange mare dragged herself through her home and into the living room. Her coat was scuffed with dirt and her blonde mane was disheveled and out of place. The pony trotted into the brightly lit living room. Squinting her eyes from the light, she made out a figure sitting in the rocking chair. As her eyes adjusted to the sudden change, she saw that it was her grandmother sitting, slowly rocking back and forth.

With a sigh escaping her mouth, she spoke, “Howdy, granny.”

Life With Twilight Ch 9I’m now outside the hospital, waiting for Scott and Liz to pick me up. With my apartment in ruins, the two of them have agreed to take me in until I can get back on my feet. At first, I was hesitant to do so. They just got married last month and said they wanted to have some alone time in their new house. But they both insisted I stay, and just refused to take no for an answer. I suppose I could use their support, because it’s not a not a very pretty time for me.

Traveling along the tracks to the southwest, the locomotive chugged on while carrying a group of passengers to its final destination: Los Pegasus.

The City of Los Pegasus was one of the most busiest cities in all of Equestria, filled with lights and ponies of the high stature: This was where many famous ponies lived that starred in dozens of films that would be released and shown all over Equestria for everypony’s entertainment.

Where We Once Cantered
My Little Poem
– Ponies with Tarja Turunen [Click here for the accompanying song] Where We Once Cantered

I'm watching the timeline
The tokens left of those days
There once was a time when
I still resembled myself
In those pictures

Younger me once sew
The blanket on which
Older me now sleeps
Drifts in the past

Where we once cantered
We had no fears, we had no cares
There we once cantered
When we were young, me and my friends

I've lived a full life
I've reaped and sown my own share
Cradle of children
Harvest born of first seeds

I remember how I saw them bloom
Grow full of life
And how they faded away
Left in the fields

Where the rainbows were created
Not carried on back
But by my own strength

One day my wings embrace the sky…
I'll ride the wind and rise high to the clouds
I'll rise and make my path
My mark on the Heaven's Vault…

Equestria Girls Film ReviewAs many of you may be aware of, My Little Pony: Equestria Girls was released this weekend. I had the luck to go see it and I feel I should give my feedback about it.
First off, I want to say that I enjoyed the film. I know many fans are completely against the idea of the ponies being humanized and portrayed in a high school setting. I admit, I was cautious as well, but I had faith in the writers (Meghan McCartey being the lead writer) and the wonderful voice cast as well. I have to say there are a few issues that bugged me and I'll address them in this.
Let's start with the obvious plot. Princess Twilight Sparkle gets her crown stolen by a hooded and mysterious pony. As they pursue her, they watch both the crown and the theft escape through a portal into a different world. In order to keep the balance between the two worlds, the crown must be returned within three days before the portal closes. So, Twilight and Spike enter through the portal to a strange new world: high school. But inEquestria Girls Film Review by *Closer-To-The-Sun

My thoughts on cutie marksAs with any fantasy story, there are certain concepts and ideas which set those stories apart from others and give them a unique feel. In the world of MLP, the cutie marks are one of those concepts. When the show first started, and I started being introduced to this world, I was, at first, interested by this concept. The idea of having an individual mark to represent one's place in life and what they were best at was an intriguing idea and one which had a lot fo potential for telling interesting stories.

And indeed, over the course of the show, many of the episodes focusing on this concept had a lot of interesting things to say, mostly conceMy thoughts on cutie marks by ~Thejboy88
Equestrian Pie (Parody of American Pie)[Intro]
A long, long time ago
I can still remember how that friendship used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those ponies prance
And maybe we’d be happy for a while

But Discord’s presence made me shiver
Like an ice cold, frozen river
Something felt absent
We were missin’ the elements

I can remember when I cried
When I read about her fallen allies
But something touched me deep inside
The day the friendship died

So bye-bye, Miss Equestrian Pie

And all those colts were drinkin' cider all night

The Night of the Annoying Mosquito
The kitchen door opened slowly, and two eyes took a peek inside the silvery room. There was nopony there, not even the chefs. The silence was overwhelming, but not drowning. Instead, it was friendly and beautiful, almost sacred. Like the silence you would find in a temple, a lack of noise which relaxes both mind and soul. Yes, that kitchen was so calm that a pony could sit there and meditate all day.

But the owner of those two magenta eyes had not gone there to meditate.

The door opened a bit more, and a white horn slipped through, followed by an equally white winged body. Princess Celestia tiphoofed her way through the calm and empty kitchThe Night of the Annoying Mosquito by ~AverageName

Part One:  The Baking Is A Lie
 
            Diamond Tiara regarded the slip of paper in her hoof with horror.  Tomorrow would be the annual “Helping Hooves Day” for Miss Cheerilee’s class, and all of the children would be shadowing an adult and helping with a chore after school.  The slip she had drawn from the selection jar told Diamond who she would be paired with and what she would be doing.
“Pinkie Pie
Babysitting.”
Diamond was sure that if she couldn’t get out of this she’d be cleaning flour out of her ears for weeks.  I could try to trade, she thought, but no pony will go for it.  The whole class knows what little monsters the Cake twins are.  Except maybe…

The Sandwich of MagicThere was once a magical, happy pony named Pinkie Pie who lived in Ponyville. She was friends with everybody in Equestria except Gilda the griffon. Gilda thought that Pinkie Pie was a crazy, uncool pony. Pinkie thought otherwise, so she talked to Twilight Sparkle the magical librarian princess and asked for her advice on how to befriend Gilda. Twilight told Pinkie that she should use her magical Pinkie powers to make Gilda a present. So Pinkie made a magical sandwich and gave it to Gilda. After some thought, Gilda ate the sandwich.

“Feed us! Feed us! Feed us!” chanted the dragons.

“Feed us, Lawgiver! Bring us a miracle of food!” they called.

“Brothers!” Kenbroath called, rising to his feet. “Brothers! Calm yourselves!” As he did Twilight and Pinkie were treated to the new vantage point… and a scene of hundreds of dragons chanting and pounding upon the earth.

“Brothers! Please, heed me!” Kenbroath called again, but they did not listen. The dragons did not heed him. They did very little heeding at all. They simply kept up their chanting, and soon it reached Children of a Lesser Dragon God: Chapter 5 by ~TheDescendantofKehAn

The Great and Powerful Trixie Rises, Chapter 4
 Spike’s eyes drifted open, and then shut.  He had slept so peacefully, despite having only the library’s hardwood floor to sleep on.  There was something wonderfully soft and warm cushioning his head and it kept rising and falling in a motion he found positively soothing.  His stomach rose up and down with every breath as he prepared to fall back into the blissful rest of sleep.  Just rising and falling, rising and falling, rising and falling…

Just like the thing under his head.

Which meant it was breathing.

At the Golden Oaks Library, home of Twilight Sparkle, the intelligent and beautiful lavender coated unicorn was laying out dozens, if not hundreds, of books for her coltfriend to read.

Many of these books had information and other details on all of Equestria and far more within every page. Twilight felt that it was time for her four-thousand year old stallion to officially adjust to this time period…and she felt that reading was just the way to do it.

“Wow Twilight, this is…a lot to read…” Courageous Heart said as the floors and tables were completely covered in books.

Soon the twelve team members were standing in a field outside of Ponyville.

 Derpy shuffled her hooves in the waiting room as the first contestant flew out.  "How did I let myself get talked into this," she asked a pegasus in front of her who walked away in confusion.  Derpy's mind drifted as her eye wandered.

It was barely a week ago, she was starting her daily rounds when she was joined by her friend Ditzy Doo.  "Hi Derpy," she practically shrieked as flew in with her blue afro wobbling in the breeze.  Derpy had to dodge right sharply to avoid being crashed into by her overly excitable friend.  "Sorry about that," she yelled at the top of her lungs.

Secret Tub Fun   Twilight trotted into her bathroom and set a small bucket down on the lacquered wood counter. "Finally, a night alone to unwind and enjoy some me time," she said with a relieved sigh. "Spike's helping Apple Bloom and her crusaders study, and everyone else is occupied with Pinkie's party." She pulled a box of scented candles out of the bucket and placed them strategically around the small bathroom, then lit them one by one with her horn. "And no studying tonight, so it's just going to be me, Mr. Bing Cropsby, and a nice, looooong soak."

I dont know if there are rules to the fics you put up or if there is a specific time to put them up so i thought the best thing to do is to do a basic rundown of all my fics.
And as for the for the fics I have 3.
1 completed and 2 uncompleted.

Chapter 1 [link]
Chapter 2 [link]
This fic is about my perspective of Lunas actions during the Canterlot wedding. It also digs a little into what i think Equestria was like when the 2 princesses were fillies. The other theme is the inner turmoil between Luna and Nightmare moon.

This fic is about what Babs Seed took after her experience at Ponyville.

This is a big one.
I plan to make this a massive adventure fic about on the mane 6 but Twilight and Rainbow in particular.
They will come face with brand new foes, age old enemies, rivals, friends and some that are both.
Hopefully these will be good enough. Thank you for your consideration.
