One night in Canterlot, a writer finished his very sad book.

Only one week later, 1/6th of the Equestrian population was dead.

Months of torment without end. Months of going to school, fearing each torturous moment. Rarity, broken and afraid, finds solace in a small clearing in a forest near her school. Her bullies do not come for her there.

Until one day they do.

They make their intentions of beating her up quite plain, and when the leader went to attack her... What she did; she didn't mean for it to happen that way, but it happened.

In the main timeline, she killed all three of her tormentors and went on to become a deadly serial killer. Here, one of them escapes, and Rarity is caught right away...

An alternate universe of The Secret Life of Rarity

It's a perfect day in the life of Twilight Sparkle. Ponyville's chief librarian has everything she wants: her books, her studies, a faithful dragon assistant, and the opportunity to go visit Sugarcube Corner on a beautiful afternoon, hanging out with the best friends that a young unicorn could ever ask for.

And yet, in spite of all this, Twilight has the distinct feeling that something is missing...

Hey. I'm Noteworthy. Right now I am having a discussion with my client and good friend A. K.

It is going to be a long... LONG day.

Dedicated to my editor Ephraim Blue on the occasion of his 16th birthday. The kid's almost five years younger than me, and a thousand times smarter. I hope this story about a long suffering editor will act as a modest and heartfelt thank you.

Rainbow Dash is having computer troubles, so she has Twilight take a look at it. What Twilight finds about her and her friends is quite shocking and a bit (or a lot) disgusting. It's time to have a talk. Humanized

WARNING: This was probably funnier in my head. And also mentions sex, but does not graphically describe it. No porno here, kiddies.

I wrote this for a number of reasons: I had the idea stuck in my head, thought it was funny, I've been meaning to write something humanized, and I needed to break my writer's block.

UPDATE: Thank you all so much for getting this featured on the "Popular Stories" list! Here's to hoping it get's featured.
ANOTHER UPDATE: Featured on October 6th, 2014! Thank every single one of you!

Your sandwich. Your lovely, obviously succulent sandwich is finally done.

Then Rarity eats it.

Most ponies assume that something is wrong with Ditzy Do's eyes. Theories range from a head injury to a genetic disorder to muscle damage behind her eye. The crueler folk suggest she's just retarded. Nicer ponies say it's just a party trick she never got tired of.

They're all wrong. They're all very, very wrong.

I discovered the truth one day in conversation with her. One eye would always look at me, and the other would wander. At least, I thought it was wandering. So while we were talking, I followed it. Goddess in heaven I wish I had not. Never follow the other eye. Ever. Because Ditzy Do's eyes work fine.

She's just watching something. That... thing that's always in the corner of our eyes. And if she looks at you with both eyes?

Goddess save you.

Everybody thought the Elements of Harmony kept us safe from the evil things waitin' to come for us in th' dark of night. It happened so fast, that before Ah knew it, th' world I knew was gone. All Ah left... all we had left, were each other. They thought they could put our kind in chains. They thought we would all bow our head to their Queen.

We're th' Crusaders. And we don't bow.

We fight.

My unicorn parents called me a worthless mud pony. They pushed me every day to overcome my lowly status. When I woke up one morning with my cutie mark, I thought they would love me. I couldn’t have been farther from the truth.

It was not destiny or enjoyment that led me to discover the cello and composing. My parents made that decision, deciding before I was born I would continue their family legacy of famous musicians.

They did not realize what that decision would cost them.
