A team of unicorns can raise the sun...but Nightmare Moon will rush to strike them down.

How many ponies does it take to KEEP the sun up for an entire day, keep the crops growing, and keep hope alive?

And what will they do tomorrow?

If you are reading this story as an entry in The Fourth Annual Equestria at War Writing Contest:

• I came to the contest for this year's theme: "A normal being's point of view and life amidst global events." I wanted to write about creatures who are "a normal being (i.e. not a country leader or general) at any point in the world".
• The contest rules say: "The story should fit into the Equestria at War universe. (Don’t worry too much, we’re very lenient with this.)" Because this story is about ordinary ponies trying to resist Nightmare Moon in a time before Equestria was equipped with lots of firearms and mechanized war vehicles, I am looking forward to the "very lenient" part of the rules.
• The contest rules say "All submissions must be submitted to moderation before the deadline, and be in the 2021 Contest folder up to seven days after deadline at the latest." I am definitely submitting this story to the contest folder less than seven days before the deadline.

Like all the other high schools in the country, Canterlot High has a new Mandatory Moral Education program.

The VR technology is very advanced!

The morals...maybe not so much.

As the title says, I was rewatching 'Run to Break Free' for like the 100th time, and one line in it always interests me. Rainbow Dash says she "Lives in slow motion" and the video shows everyone in slow motion, so I thought of a story idea. what if she actually does 'live in slow motion?' And how would that affect her relationships, how the movies went, etc. Do you see where I'm going here?

Prereaders:
Gelatino (offprint, fimfiction.net) who is also credited in the main author's note for something else, too.

Was Trixie's last magic show with her father a failure, a catastrophe, or a new beginning?

Nopony ever gives Trixie credit for her greatest act.

Fluttershy refuses to give up on Discord.

But what is their relationship really like, behind closed doors? How can she stay with a creature who was born without a conscience, who uses others as playthings and hurts them again and again?

A love triangle in one and a half scenes. (Or is that a lie too?)

Fluttercord Week 2022: This story might celebrate Day Seven of #FluttercordWeek2022: (Free Space), but it isn't officially for Day Thirteen: Stars, because I don't want to wait that long to celebrate the amazingness and flexibility of the Fluttercord ship, and how many different ways there are to imagine it!

Day Seven: Saturday January 25th 2020

Let’s end this awesome week with a freebie. Write whatever you want as long as it’s Fluttercord related and as long as it’s appropriate within the G-PG rating.

How in Equestria did a filly even GET a jar of cyanide pills?

Being a ten year old filly can be complicated.

I kept the red tag content mild, because most of this story is about a ten year old filly.
