Stories I have been nervous about submitting or unsure how to finish

Everyone's been there. Got stumped by a story and didn't want to finish it, only to delete it a week later.

Here's my collection of those type of stories.

Earth Elements: Twilight

View Online

It was half past midnight, and Twilight knew she should have been asleep by now. But she can't. She didn't know why, she just couldn't fall into a deep, dark, abyssal sleep like everypony else was doing. In fact, if she were to go into Spike's room, she would see her helpful little dragon sleeping like there was no tomorrow.

Sighing, Twilight got out of bed and decided that a glass of warm milk, would cool her nerves. She teleported to her kitchen, trying to not wake Spike, or any other pony. Her teleportation spells have often been known to be quite loud. A flash of lightning lit up Ponyville for a half a second. Twilight remembered that, as a filly, her dad had told her to count the seconds in between lightning and thunder. That's how many miles away the storm was.

She started counting as she drank her milk. One one thousand, two one thousand, three one- Thunder boomed outside, as clear as a bell.

"Three and a half miles away." She murmured to herself. She figured she may as well enjoy the atmosphere before the storm now. Something about it just seemed so...electrifying.

She stepped out of her giant crystal castle and ventured around to the back. Seeing a flash of lightning again, she started to count. One one thou-

*BOOM*

The sound of Thunder was deafening. And it was barley a mile away.

"I should probably go inside..." Twilight mused to herself. As she got up and started to fly back towards the door, lightning struck just inches away from her. Then thunder. Then rain.

She barley dodged the lightning, trying frantically to get back to the safety of her castle. Lightning, thunder, increasing rain. Lightning, thunder, increasing rain, Lightning.

Twilight lay on the ground. The rain falling on her as if she were nothing more than grass. Thunder boomed in the distance, and light filled up the sky once more. Twilight's just lucky that lightning never strikes in the same place twice.

"Rarity? Have you seen Opal?" Sweetie Belle asked as she walked through the door. "She's not outside, and I found something for her."

"Oh, yes, she's up in my room." Rarity said, focusing more on making a dress than Sweetie Belle herself.

"Thanks!" Sweetie Belle called out as she ran upstairs.

Gamer Pony

Sweetie Belle and Button Mash discover something shocking while playing Minecraft, and it leaves them wondering about there lives...and who this strange pony is...


Sweetie_Bot has joined the game.

I watched as my avatar's vision zoomed from left to right, looking for Button Mash. He and I agreed to join up in our virtual Clubhouse. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo would have joined, but, they were both to busy.

"Button Mash, where are you?" I murmured under my breath.

After five more minutes, I decided to try to find him. After holding the tab button and finding out that the server was way to full, I tried asking online.

Has anyone seen ButtonMob76 anywhere? I typed, quickly receiving a series of No's.

"Darn it." I sighed. What did Pinkie Promise mean to this pony?! It was so. Simple. Don't break a Pinkie promise, or else you'll have to stick a
cupcake in your eye as you run away from an enraged Pinkie.

I think I saw ButtonMob on 30 minutes ago... Someone typed. I couldn't read the username, because it was literally all Greek...or maybe French...

Really? My hope raised.

I got a teleport request seconds later from Exspirav1t, and quickly accepted it. Exspirav1t appeared before me after about three minutes, due to lag. "Where was he?" I asked the computer, at time same time typing down the question.

Where was who?

"Ugh!" I groaned. "ButtonMob! Where was ButtonMob!?" I typed angrily.

Oh. Exspirav1t typed. He was with me, and we were mining. Then, he said he had to...leave... On screen, Exspirav1t was clicking me frantically. Why do you need to know?

"I know him in real life." I typed back. "Did he say when he'd be on?"

If you know him in real life, why don't you go over to his house? Exspirav1t asked. They had a good point, but, then again, this pony didn't know me. I suddenly felt cold for a split second.

My sister won't let me! She wants me to try on a dress she made in five minutes.

No response from this pony.

Life is so unfair!!! I computer-complained. And, in truth, sometimes it was.

Listen, Sweetie_Bot, you think life is unfair just because you have to try on a DRESS?! What!? That's completely fair, Sweetie_Bot!!! You should
be happy that your sister cares for you! Exspirav1t wrote back. "Whoa, anger, much?" I asked myself.

"I am too happy! I just want to visit my friend and she won't let me!"

Oh, boo-hoo! Like that's a major issue.

"It is!!"

SHUT UP, SWEETIE_BOT!

Half of the chat on the server stopped for a couple second. Then it flowed in, centering around us.

"Cat-fight!"

"What's wrong?"

"Can you just make up? I hate when players fight!!"

I blushed in embarrassment. This Exspirav1t was making a scene! I private-messaged him, so that way we wouldn't be making an even bigger
mess.

You. Do not. Live my life. I know it's fair, but, you don't have a right to tell me it's unfair.

There was no response for a couple of seconds.

"Sweetie Belle, would you come downstairs, please?" Rarity asked.

"Just a second!" I called back.

What the hay is taking so long? I asked myself. Either this pony was really mad, or was writing a really long response.

"Sweetie, I need you NOW, please!" Rarity called. She sounded impatient.

"Not now!" I yelled. I had to see what Exspirav1t would type!! I heard Rarity come up the stairs. No, she was stomping up the stairs. Uh Oh! I thought frantically. Hurry up! Finish the sentence!!!

As if reading my mind, a message popped up.

"You. Do not. Live my life."

What, they just quoted me?

Your lucky you even have a life, thou crusty batch of nature! Your like speaking to a rotting corpse in the sewer!!

Before I could type back, or figure out what Exspirav1t had meant, Rarity appeared in the doorway and dragged me downstairs.


Sweetie_Bot has left the game.

That was the first thing I saw the moment I logged onto the server Sweetie and I had agreed on. What did she have to do that was so important? or did she log off because I logged on?!

No, No, Button Mash. I thought to myself. Your letting your thoughts get ahead of you again...

"Soda Sisters?" Creamie asks me. She's been doing that a lot lately, and it's been getting on my nerves.

"No! Not now, Not ever again!" I shouted.

Creamie left the room, crying.

What did I say? I thought.


Obsessive, much?

"Scootaloo, are you coming?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Or are you just going to keep staring off into space?"

Scootaloo shook her head. She was having another vision, and they couldn't seem to stop leaving her alone. This one was about them going out of town and the main six worrying about them, so the six go out of town and there never heard from again.
