Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns is the center of magical research in Equestria. Since Apple Bloom developed a love of potion making and an interest in the theory behind magic, she recognizes what an honor it would be to study there. But that would also mean being the only non-unicorn student to ever attend, leaving her friends and family, and moving to a strange city... and that's if she can pass an entrance exam designed to select the most magically gifted unicorns.

Spike has never wanted more than to be Twilight's number one assistant. But when Twilight points out that there's a pony right in front of him who needs an experienced assistant even more than she does, it means considering a life where he's making the most of his talents... but one without Twilight by his side.

For both of them, facing hard decisions are just part of growing up.

Ever since the Battle of the Bands, Sunset Shimmer has been writing letters to Princess Twilight Sparkle telling of what she has learned about friendship. One day, Twilight gets a peculiar letter and exciting news: Sunset Shimmer is coming to Equestria! Twilight and her friends already have lots of plans for when she gets here, but Sunset has something very specific she wants to do first: something that is long overdue.

Not every wishing star is real, nor do those that are have any real power, but when three friends wish on one that meets both criteria, they end up in Equestria, missing more than a few years of maturity. Tossed into a new life because of a blotched attempt at wish granting, coping is going to be the first challenge they face in a world that isn't quite what they expected.

There's not a lot that can be more disruptive to your life then suddenly being shoved into the body of a tiny colorful equine. Finally about to make something of yourself and Wham, along came pony. From advanced underground labs to lost magical artifacts, walk a mile in his hooves as Zēnith copes with what's been taken, learns to use what's been given, and tries to unravel the circumstances of his abrupt metamorphosis.

There, finally a summary I like the sound of! Even if it is a bit further forward then I have written...

Second person perspective for psych reasons, which means if you get confused, no you didn't skip anything, but remember you're reading from the point of view of the character, so everything is subject to his perceptions of reality.

Being written for the transformation thread on /mlp/, since they've been very nice and supportive. Hi guys!
Thank's to my fantastic editor Globebutt, without whom my story would be riddled with comma splices and tense slips galore!
Cover art by a super-awesome guy by the name of magikarp over in the draw thread. Thanks bro! (And don't worry, the story ain't as sad as little Zeni there makes it look!)

Rated Teen for Language.

Sunset Shimmer finds it hard to leave her friends in Canterlot High to restart a life in Equestria. As she prepares for the new adventure she takes on, she realizes that if it weren't for Twilight Sparkle and the lessons she learned, Equestria and the human world would be in a state of unhappiness. Sunset becomes Twilight's new pupil in hopes of discovering her own destiny... no matter what she faces.

This story is a "what-if" sequel of Equinophobia. Prior reading of the linked story is recommended.

Equinophobia was the psychological fear of horses. Now it's gone along with the remnants of her person.

In her desperate and broken state of mind, Ryan had made the faux offer of being integrated into Equestrian society. She never realized the sun goddess would agree with her.

Memories stripped and replaced as she's morphed into a new form, the woman formerly known as Ryan becomes the mare known as Silverbolt.

However, not all the remains of her past can be so easily erased.

Ryan's "offer" takes place in the beginning of chapter twenty-one of the original story in case you don't recall.

Alternate universe tag for changes to Equestria Girls elements and the Crystal Empire's history.

Twenty-five years later, Apple Bloom is an adult pony. She's married with two lovely foals, and is the respected mayor of Ponyville. However she never got past the heartbreak she felt when her two best friends moved away all those years ago.

All this is about to change though. Tonight is the first Ponyville school reunion and Apple Bloom is determined to finally put the past to rest and have the best night ever. What could possibly go wrong?

Cutie Mark Crusader School Reunion go!

This story is a sequel to Little Miss Great & Powerful (AB/DL)

WARNING, WARNING! THIS FIC CONTAINS DIAPER USAGE AND CUTENESS!

You have been warned!

A few days after finding Trixie in Trottingham, Twilight's new "foal" is learning how to fit in in Ponyville. while Spike is hesitant, he accepts that Trixie is now living with them and is an adult foal.

The rest of Ponyville, however, especially the rest of the mane six? Well, they're another story.

Ever had one of those days you wished you'd never gotten out of bed?
I don't. BECAUSE IM GOING TO WRING THE NECK OF THE IDIOT WHO CAUSED THIS WHOLE PONY TRANSFORMING THING!!!

My name is Emily Sugar, and roughly five hours ago I started turning into a freaking pony from MLP:FIM. It's not that I have anything against the show in general. I love the animation and the story behind it! Heck, I even created an OC! Sunstripe; half unicorn, half zebra with a yellow coat and white stripes and a chocolate mane. I never really went anywhere with the character, I wasn't obsessed with the show like other Bronies; but I did enjoy it like any other good ol' cartoon.
However, when you start turning into your creation? Yeah, that's an entirely different can of worms.
A quick Google search later, I find the idiots who caused this problem.
Now I'm on a plane to Chicago with my mom, my cousin who is also transforming, and a neighbor who is dealing with the embarrassment of becoming a behemoth sized dragon.
Our goal? Well I can't say for the others, but I'm going to leave a few bruises on these idiots who caused this.
It also doesn't help not to have hands anymore, but that's what magic is for!

Takes place in MidnightChaos'OC Tales. Enjoy!

Apple Bloom is sick and tired of having to do everything Applejack tells her just because she's the younger of the two. So when a certain embodiment of chaos offers to fulfill her desire to be the older sister, how could she say no? After all, she's always wanted to be older. This, however, wasn't exactly how she envisioned it.

Written for the Transformations group's prompt contest!
