She didn't have a name anymore, she was only referred to as U-1746, the pin number on her uniform.

Your name didn't matter in the war, only how you performed. If you did well enough, you'd have a name that ponies would remember when Equestria won... if Equestria won.

She would make that her goal. She would matter. Her name is Rarity, and this is her story.

An entry in the Barcast's Second Writing Contest.

Twilight Sparkle is at her limit.

She has long since dismissed her original objective, forgetting exactly why she is stuck in this alternate timeline in the first place. Her only mission now is to stop the mare in her way— an adversary with uncanny magical strength and indefatigable purpose.

It’s time to finish this... once and for all.

Tia is a girl whose home is near a railway junction. One day, while exploring the local scrapyard, she stumbles upon a curious-looking android that has been neglected for quite some time.

After some tinkering and polishing, Tia manages to get the robot working again, and she finds out that the cute little thing seems to have a mind of its own.

So why is it so upset?

One timeline after another, Twilight and Spike are thrown into a world of Starlight's morbid machination. Another tragic end to Equestria, another circumstance of failure.

The frigid wind does little to ease Twilight's thoughts as a simple question plagues her mind:

"What happened here?"

Takes place during the Season 5 finale.

On an obnoxiously bright and sunny day in Ponyville, Rainbow Dash decided to help Scootaloo learn to fly. What she didn't anticipate was Scootaloo slamming into the ground and eating the dirt.

Repeatedly.

Rated T for mild language.
Note: Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon are still spoiled brats in this story.

They're gone... and they're never coming back.

It was a spontaneous decision, one that I regret every waking moment. At the time, when I had to choose between my friends and all the alicorn magic in Equestria, I didn't answer the question fast enough.

They're dead now, and the worst part? I won.

After a particularly poor flight rehearsal, Captain Spitfire chews out Rainbow Dash for her sloppy form. While distraught, Rainbow Dash is able to keep it together until said rehearsal is over.

Soarin wants to console her, but Rainbow Dash isn’t the type of mare that needs consoling. Maybe she just wants some company?

Rated E for good vibes and general cuteness, easily the tamest thing I've ever put out.

The Great and Powerful Trixie is woken up by the voice of a narrator that's both around her and inside her head. To further annoy her, she can't seem to get rid of him, even though he has nearly lost control of the entire situation.
 
Neither of them are going to have a good time.

Rated E for meta-humor, crass banter and self-deprecation.

It is common knowledge within Canterlot Castle that Princess Celestia is rather fond of her tea, and is particularly amicable after having her first cup. Upon waking up and finding that there's no tea to be found within the castle, how does Princess Celestia react?

Not well, not well at all.

Rated T for dark humor, harsh language and false death threats.

I just wanted to be as beautiful as my sister. She told me that I was still young, and that it was normal to be pudgy at my age, but I disagreed. She was angelic compared to, whatever I was. I knew that she kept her slim figure by eating less, so I tried to follow suit.

I'm so tired all the time and I feel like I can hardly support my own weight, I get stared at when I'm at school and Rarity is becoming more anxious around me.

What did I do wrong? Why didn't I look like her? Why was I still so... ugly?
