*Note: Takes place after season two, but before season three.*

The main six have very complicated lives. On top of their everyday tasks, and dealing with the problems of living in a town near The Everfree Forest, they also have the weight of the world on their shoulders. This can cause a lot of problems and stress for the main six, each one having their own ways to cope.

Now with a sequel! https://www.fimfiction.net/story/473891/fake-smiles-fluttershys-lament

Applejack has her farm and family, Fluttershy has her animals, Rainbow Dash has her clouds, Twilight has her work, and Rarity has her dresses. But Pinkie?

Pinkie chose alcohol.

Earth and Equestria have opened diplomatic relations with each other, and Twilight couldn't be more excited. But somepony seems lost over something they saw in the human world: Pinkie Pie. What could Pinkie have seen that could drive her to lock herself in her room for days?

Everyone at Canterlot High School says that Sunset Shimmer has bacon-colored hair. What Pinkie Pie sets out to accomplish one day is to answer an age-old question: does Sunset's hair TASTE like bacon?

Needless to say, the adventure proves to be quite... Indescribable.

I literally came up with this at 5:30 in the morning one day.
The timeline is after Friendship Games, but before Legend of Everfree. I've yet to see LoE as of 11-14-16.

Thousands of years ago, Equestria was a dark place. Safety was a resource few could afford, and fewer still could provide. The creatures of the night were no exception, and when it came time for them to band together, a single pony rose to lead them.

This cruel, unforgiving man came to be known as Count Dracula.

Some years later, tensions had calmed. A leader was still needed, but many grew spiteful towards the Count's harsh, violent means. Amongst those unhappy was his daughter, and after much hardship, the reign of Count Dracula came to an end.

Thus was born Lady Dracula.

Now, Equestria has changed again. No longer is it fraught with danger and distrust, and Dracula has come to a decision. It's time for her to step down, and make room for a new Dracula.

A kinder one.

This is set in the same universe as many of my other stories, seen here. None are necessary to read before this story, but they are there if you want them.

Use your discretion with regards to the gore and violence tags. It's a vampire story and I am not a subtle person. The tags are there for good reason.

Pinkie Pie is a lover of everything sweet and tasty, but hates brushing her teeth. It's that time of year again and Colgate is determined to fulfill all her appointments.

One year had passed since Pinkie Pie had met Twilight, and she had decided to skip a visit to the dentist during this period, due to all the adventures and food she had to finish. However, Twilight convinces her of the importance of healthy teeth, and the two visit the dentists office to learn that 12 months of sweets, sugar, cakes and muffins don't make your choppers any more able. Will Pinkie have to get dentures? Will she ever look at a cake the same way again? Will I regret asking questions in the description? The answer to all is probably.

Sombra wants to sleep. He really does. But he can't. Why? Because he's lonely.

Pinkie is looking for more lucrative work so that she can eventually start her own bakery, so she's applied to be one of the Night Guard. The job pays well, and the benefits are fantastic...

But in order for her to take the job she has to undergo a change.

Is it worth transforming into a Thestral for 750 bits a week and full health and dental? She'll have to think carefully.

Pinkie Pie is a very busy mare. Between her friends and her family, her party-planning job and her world-saving Element duties, she barely has any time for herself. Sometimes she wishes she had some help.

This wish is answered in the form of a small changeling, lost and alone.

Little did she or he know what series of events this would kickstart, or the marvelous new chapter it would open in the party mare's life.

Pinkie never really considered herself to be beautiful. At least, not until Sombra told her so.

But, when she still doubts her own worth, she looks to Sombra for consolation and asks for something that just might tip the balance of how things are between the reformer and the reformee.

Takes place between chapters Four and Five of The Not-So-Normal Adventures of King Sombra and Pinkie Pie.
