Friendship Letters

Fall, 2015, Yakushi Residence, Ponyville. "Oooooh! You just look so cute!" Asuka's cheeks flush a deep red as her mother dotes over her. Her usually long, straight mane has been professionally styled. She's wearing a sparkling, light blue dress, and is wearing makeup for the first time in practically her whole life. Of course, Asuka isn't all dolled up just to go to some restaurant or something. No. Tonight was the biggest night of her high school life. It was prom. Something she'd thought ...

After a long day of classes, the night had fallen and the warm streets of the city became cold -far too cold for this one city-. The crowd were walking out the old classroom, the wooden door creaking one last time for the day as it got closed behind the professor. Whispers filled the now deserted hallways of the campus, yet the silence of the night time filled the dull buildings. Only the fridges from the laboratories broke the dead silence. A couple of pegasi walked out the campus through...

8:25 PM, Rouge's Gallery, Canterlot It's been about 10 minutes since the opening act finished, and yet, there was still no sign of the main act. Confusion spreads among the crowd as people begin to wonder where the band they came here to see is. Venue staff have been going on, and off stage for a while now, probably doing some last minute checks, but still no band. At some point, the lights dim to the point where you could hardly see what was on the stage. For a moment, excitement rises, and c...

7:47 PM, The Rogue's Gallery, Canterlot. As a wise man once said "Pirates are in this year!" Which appears to be what the owners of the venue for tonight's show thought when they built the place. Tucked away in a small plaza in Canterlot's entertainment district, the place would be hard to miss, if it weren't for the giant ship mast flying a jolly roger poking out above the surrounding buildings. The building itself had all sorts of pirate theming, complete with 3 venues for varying leve...

"Spins?" a purple-eyed changeling asked, poking at her sleeping friend.  "Spins, are you awake?" Her friend, Spinneret, sat up suddenly.  "Are we--"  Her green eyes softened when she saw who had woken her up.  "Oh.  Just you, Elly." "Yeah, just me."  Elytron's wings flitted bashfully.  "I, uh...I can't sleep.  Too excited about the invasion, y'know?  And...what comes after?" Spinneret nodded.  "Yeah...yeah, I know you are."  The petite changeling yawned.  "Still plannin on defectin?" "You kn...

Amy would be perusing the web when she saw that a local orphanage was being harassed by who allegedly claims to be the "Doll Master". A squad car has been there each day to monitor the children's well being. Amy would huff and grit her teeth. "Not again. You fucking bastard." She would break her phone from slamming it down on the table. Amy would put on her Doll Maker costume. She would rip her eye patch off her mask. She then reach for her knife and pistol... She would grab the knife but dec...

Alone, exhausted, and battered, but Asuka was not without hope. She'd made it all the way from Vanhoover. Gotten through Ponyville, and made the arduous journey up the mountains towards Canterlot. Now, her goal was in sight. All she had to do was get inside the city gates, and her journey would finally come to an end. https://youtu.be/8BKTUe7lLsA?si=wyoQu56xrQJiuN83 Swarm Size: ...

//Surprise! I've actually been meaning to finish this old series for a long time now. Just never had the motivation to actually sit down and do it. Hope it lasts long enough for me to actually finish the series this time. How long has it been since they first set out on this journey? How many people have they seen who are probably dead, or infected now? How have they managed to keep it together long enough to get this far? All questions that Asuka knew would never be answered, and never bothere...

Three young foals -- one dressed as an astronaut, one dressed as a changeling, and one dressed as a skeleton -- approached the Nightmare Moon statue for the yearly ritual of offering candy. "Be careful," the astronaut warned.  "I've heard there's a monster around the statue this year." "Please," the skeleton scoffed, "there's no such thing as monsters!" "What do you call cockatrices, then?!" the astronaut asked.  "Or manticores?!  Puckwudgies?!" "Animals, ya ding-dong!" the changeling replie...

Good morning students. Today we will be discussing the current topic EVERYONE is talking about. Rank and what the Fear Settlers do to you. We have a simple ranking system of old. The pyramid.  ...
