(Collab with yodajax10 who suggested the idea. Takes place during and immediately after the events of "The Mean Six".)

When Twilight starts to pack for a camping trip with her friends, Spike volunteers not to come along and instead stay behind and manage the school and Twilight's castle.

However, the little dragon is crushed when he finds out that Starlight will be going on the camping trip as well. All alone and with no friends to spend the weekend, Spike isn't sure what he's going to do.

That is, until he gets an idea and writes a letter to Princess Luna. Now, Spike will spend the weekend with two very special (and very familiar) guests. And they'll be more helpful than they might suspect.

Starlight spends a lonely night in her office, thinking about her life and its purpose.

The results aren't pretty.

Inspired by all those bottles in Starlight's office.

SPOILERS FOR THE END OF SEASON SIX OF PONY POV SERIES! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

A look into the parallel events of The Mean Six, in the Dark World timeline...

The Mean Six, creations of Chrysalis: their fate across the timelines is always the same, they are born, are inversions of Twilight and her teammates, and in less than day they die, and their lives are of no consequence of the greater scheme of things, like they might as well having never lived at all...

First chapter written by me.
Second chapter written by Kendell2.

Starlight was bored. She always was in her office, sorting out her books a million ways in attempt to get away her boredom. However, more and more students went to her office to seek advice.

The Mane Six and Starlight had chalked up the events of their hike to each of their flaws simply getting on everypony else's nerves. However, upon their arrival at the Tree of Harmony, they will soon discover the truth of their tumultuous hike. Although, there is a chance they won't be able to survive learning the truth.

Spoilers for Season 8 Episode 13: The Mean Six

Chrysalis has come up with a foolproof plan to take over Equestria, by creating evil versions of her greatest adversaries! The only problem is, Discord already did it... and he's about to tell her so. Based on the latest episode 'The Mean Six'.

Spoilers, of course.

Featured from June 10-11. A certifiable fact.

Nothing foils a good plan for revenge like having your plot explained to your target, and then being forced to spend time with said target without murdering them.

This is a lesson Chrysalis will learn during one of the strangest days of her life, courtesy of an insane (or possibly just inane) draconequus.

As for Starlight, well, it's not like she was doing anything. What's a guidance counselor in a school of friends even do? Honestly.

TL;DR Discord tries to forcibly ship Starlight Glimmer and Chrysalis.

[SPOILERS: Season 8 Episode 13 The Mean Six. Do not continue reading if you have not yet watched.]

Mistakes were made.

Chrysalis learned a valuable lesson. When you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. She’s not about to repeat her last error. So this time she’s going to make copies of herself. It will go so much better.

Twilight wants to open her school to spread friendship between ponies and all the other creatures she has met on her travels. So before the school can open she must send her friends as ambassadors to find creatures who are willing to learn the magic of friendship.

This story takes place during the period of time covered in School Daze when Twilight is planning her school and trying to get EEA approval.
